KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! - God's Blessing on This Wonderful Choker!
Synopsis
While exploring Wiz's magic shop with his party, Kazuma Satou finds a magical wish-granting choker and decides to try it on. Only then does Wiz tell him that the choker strangles its wearer to death in four days unless their desires are fulfilled. This wouldn't be a problem if Kazuma knew what his wish was. Fearing for Kazuma's life, Aqua, Megumin, and Lalatina Ford "Darkness" Dustiness all agree to do his bidding in order to satisfy his desires and hopefully grant his wish, no matter what he asks for.

Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed, with many enjoying the continuation of the series' humor and character interactions. However, a significant number of viewers found the OVA to be an excessive and detrimental use of fanservice, with some disliking the deviation in Kazuma's character. The episode is generally recommended for fans of the first season who don't mind ecchi content, but is seen as skippable for others.
