Synopsis
​

Despite being a handyman with a wide range of skills, Saitou is severely undervalued and underpaid. When he complains, his boss fires him, claiming that he is easily replaceable. As if his luck was not bad enough, Saitou soon finds himself about to be run over by a truck on his way home.

Surprisingly enough, Saitou does not die; instead, he is transported to another world. There, he meets a party composed of the female knight Raelza, the moonlight fairy Lafanpan, and the mage Morlock, who are all coincidentally looking to recruit a new member with a skill set like Saitou's.

Throughout their time together, Saitou uses his expertise to assist his fellow party members and soon comes to receive the recognition he never thought was possible. However, Saitou's presence may just be the catalyst that will connect a diverse cast of people from different places, slowly uncovering the fate that could bring a great change to this world.

Episode 1 was good. Being a handyman, Saito is pretty much a jack of all trades. He can pick locks such as on doors or chests, repair equipment, or even make certain things such as bags. Saitou feels a little inadequate due to not being able to fight or use magic, but he makes up for it with what he can do. The knight girl Raelza seems to have it down bad for him. Morlock apparently retired once, but has come out of retirement. He causes a bit of trouble for the group by forgetting his incantations. Saito has tried to remember some to help there. In his own world, he was let go from his job due to there being anyone that could replace him. After an incident where Saitou fell and broke his legs, he thought the others would give up and that he was replaceable here like his own world. So, when they came and helped him and said he was irreplicable, it made him extremely happy.

 

Episode 2 was good. Started out with the group taking out a hydra! Raelza was too eeked out by slimy creatures, so couldn't fight. With Saito using a sword, Morlock with his magic and Lafanpan supporting them, they took it out. Saito cooked it up, much to the disgust of the others. Saito got some needles that assassin's would use, and the shop keeper took it for him wanting them for the use-case, not to cook meat. Seems the shop keeper and Raelza might not get along. In the end, the cooked Hydra was great!

Saito tried and failed to disarm a trap. The trap was metal-eating slime, which dissolved poor Raelza's attire. In another section, some priest girl seems to have gone off the deep end, basically molesting another girl under the guise of healing her. She was helping her, but she was also licking up the blood and doing weird shit.

The reason that Lafanpan charges them gold coins, is due to her race having a curse that shrinks them if they fail to offer coins to the goddess that cursed them. Due to this, Saito basically asked for her blessing to pay her, even when he didn't really need it. Turns out, when Saito opened the chest, Raelza and himself were teleported away. They had to fight a magical creature, seems like living armour or a metal golem. Saito ended up helping out, although he was mortally wounded. In the end, Raelza used a potion she was saving to use with another healing item to get rid of her scar. She had to feed it mouth-to-mouth which has her flustered.

 

Episode 3 was alright. So the shop keeper also provides marital services to match people. On one occaison, a succubus seduced Saito, but before she sealed the deal, Raelza went on the attack in rage. The magic didn't wear off, so Saito was going to get frisky with her, but Lafanpan dispelled it. The kingdom also picked out a hero Cainz, but it's pretty artificial. They have the sword embedded but then they're the ones that decide when to release it, so picked their own hero. They also picked a mage Raichee and another person got in due to their connections, Monpui. Their expedition was broadcast and people really turned on the hero and magician girl, especially with their slacking and sexscapade. In the end, the people are more of a fan of Monpui. At one point when trying to gather treasure, Saito broke his wire cutters. They found the legendary dwarf smith and he fixed them. During another expedition, they found a hidden door to the dungeon making it expand further. It drew a bunch of adventurers.

 

Episode 4 was good. Started out with a lot of people continuing to gather for the dungeon. Even the hero turned up. Seemed like Monpui was the good one, but he tried to basically stop a lot of them joining due to making them pass out. The demon king was one of the strongest and even took out a dragon. Even so, the ninja almost killed him and the other person that was with him. They failed and had to run back to the king.

The group came across a due. They claimed the treasure first. They ended up letting them take the treasure, but they couldn't pick the chest chest. Saito agreed to help them get into the treasure and he let them take it. The male of the duo crushed on him.

On another occasion, both Monpui and Saito ended up alone together. Both are rather weak. Monpui basically refused to help Saito, being on his own. In the end, Saito offered some food, as he basically out matched everything Monpui tied doing. The hero and Saito's group met up with the other two.

Saito's group came across the elven warrior girl, and ended up in a fight between her and Raelza. They ended up both surrendering and calling it a draw.

The group made it to where a lot of stuff from Saito's world ended up, including the vacuum. They they ended up with the ninja to try and kill them, but fled after the dwarf appeared and helped. Turns out the dwarf is the student of the old wizard.

 

Episode 5 was good. Seems like Morlock really doesn't remember his past at all, so is struggling to believe he taught the dwarf, Gibungle. Apparently Morlock used to be popular with the women, and that was a fake name he used to use when being a womanizer. HIs real name is apparently, the great mage Bergheim. Although right before the full name was given, Gibungle was stabbed in the back by the ninja Kisurugi. Kisurugi is working with two demons and the dark winged fairy, Primasse. So the woman that Kisurugi fell in love with was the 400 year old witch. She lived to 400 due to a curse. Another mage killed the demon that cursed her, but the curse remained in tact but if she ever fell in love, the curse would be broken and her age would catch up, killing her. This is what eventually happened between Kisurugi and Rahvella. They're looking for a mage that can supposedly control time in the labyrinth.

While the fight was ongoing, more help arrived with the heroes party of Cainz, Raichee and Monpui. More help arrived with the duo of Liliza, Guivre and Franlil. Apparently Guivre had been stalking Saito. Kisurugi, the demons and Primasse were backed in the corner and going to flee, but Primasse asked for her wings to use an 8th tier dark magic summoning. Primasse wants to savrafice herself as Rahvella is her friend that saved her long ago. Primasse was alone and treated badly. Even people trying to disgustingly breed her with other creatures for their benefit. She got fat thinking it would dissuade them but only made hre slower. that's when Rahvella saved her when she was captured again. Even still, Kisurugi couldn't tear off her wings, so she did it herself and the summoning succeeded. Franlil is the first victim.

 

Episode 6 was good. The fight/defensive strategy continued while Saito trained to get Morlock to cast the spell he saw during the mushroom incident. We got a flashback of Morlock. He was a pretty terrible father and partner. It started out pretty wholesome with his young daughter making him a necklace. He left to work, continuing to try and become an infamous mage widely recognised. His daughter quickly got very ill. Morlock returned at night, and his partner begged him to stay for their daughter, but he ignored them and left saying it was more important for him to get recognised and he'd return in the morning as soon as he could. When he did return, he was happy with himself and his achievement, but his partner was grieving for their dead child. Morlock spent all of their money in the pursuit of his goal. Even as she died, Morlock's daughter held onto the necklace she made for him. The partner left Morlock soon after, and Morlock put everything into trying to learn magic to turn back time. He entered the dungeon alone, and battled an entity there; if he was able to win the fight he'd get the magic he sought. In the end, he lost the fight and the punishment was the lose his memories "because they were painful". In the end, Saito helped Morlock cast a spell which stopped time for 100 seconds , but unfortunately he's forgot the objective of taking out the demon creature.

 

Episode 7 was good. With the spell passed, Morlock wasted a good bit of time not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Saito wrote on his hand to attack the eyes. He prepared some magic to buff himself before going on the attack. Right before he finished casting his magic, he saw glimpses of the memories of Kisurugi, Primasse and the demons. After seeing the memories, Morlock couldn't kill them, so used magic to help them and also take out the demon thing. In the end, the demons, Primasse and Kisurugi were pardoned and Kisurugi would forefit his life to save Rahvella.

 

Episode 8 was good. More adventurers poured in and so it was a bit of a struggle getting the items from the other world. Even still, Saito didn't end up getting the vacuum, it seems to have gone missing. When it came about that Morlock was likely the one that brought Saito to this world, Lafanpan suggested he could return him. This caused Raelza to get upset and storm off due to her feelings. It turns out it wouldn't be viable, as Saito would be sent back to the exact time he was summoned, so he'd just go back and die to the truck. This is fine, as Saito didn't really have much intention of leaving. Saito and Raelza had a nice moment where she confessed to being the person that needs him most, hopefully he understood what that was about. Morlock ended up sick from a monster, and the others continued on without him. When they returned a few days later, he had passed away! Didn't see that coming!

On the note of Rahvella, Kisurugi and Primasse... Kisurugi, Primasse and the king arrived to Rahvella. The king has a sword that can use the life span of Kisurugi to help Ragvella. The king indicated it would cost Kisurugi's life, but it ended up being an arm and a leg severed and he was forced to endure being sliced up, and Primasse's wings and magic as the cost. Primasse ended up losing her weight from the experience. Rahvella ended up seeingly losing her memories and Kisurugi was content to leave. Primasse wasn't happy with that and started to lecture him, then two men started to assault Rahvella. Kisurugi threatened them but abstained from killing them having given up that life. Turns out it was the demon brothers trying to help him. In the end, it seems that Kisurui, Rahvella and Primasse get a happy end.

 

Episode 9 was good. So we got a backstory of some demon dog/wolf that found a mate and fell in love. But the male's leader ordered the death of the female so he rebelled. The female ended up mortally wounded by an enemy with the male trying to protect her. In the end she died, but left a pup, so the male raised the pup. This spins into Morlock being dead, he was partly eaten by the male wolf. So while he revived due to some curse or magic, he's in a state of resurrection/death due to his body being incomplete. The wolf ate his junk. So now they're trying to find the wolf, to compete Morlock's body. Although it seems like his time is near anyway. He mentioned about Saito taking Raelza's hand, giving his blessing as her adoptive father. It also seems like Raelza grew up with the pop the male wolf raised.

 

Episode 10 was good. Saito accepted to take Raelza's hand and Morlock was overjoyed! It was at that point, the wolf attacked them. Both Raelza and Lafanpan went to check on Saito and Morlock only to find them wounded. Raelza flew into rage and went ham on it, and got grievously wounded, having her arm burnt to the bone. When Raelza was about to finish it off, the wolf's kid appeared so she stopped. At that point, the other demon showed up to kill the wolf and take it back. Raelza actually killed the demon without much issue, but things became dire after that! The leader appeared and was too much. Raelza told Saito to flee due to the danger. He did initially, but ended up moving Morlock to the wolf to absorb his missing piece. At that point, he ran back when things were dire for Raelza and saved her from death with holy water, and then used his side cutters to free her. Raelza fought on a bit longer then started to be frozen by magic. Saito pushed her out of the way and took the magic. Right when it seemed like they were both screwed, Morlock appeared in full swing and took the demon out. He sure is damn strong! The agreement was to take care of the kid of the wolf for his power back.

 

Episode 11 was good. I didn't expect for the demon to return. So the demon was originally two separate beings, specifically twin brothers. Their mother tasked them with a battle to the death. One of the brothers objected and the other immediately cut down the one objecting. The mother then started to absorb the other, the entire thing was to find out the strongest so that the ruling demon could absorb them to continue their form of immortality. In the end, the mother was killed and the brothers merged to not die. Morlock having absorbed some of the wolf's power, reverted to being young and a kind of fox hybrid. With the extra power, he took out the demon again using a meteorite! Then, when their guard was down, the demon attacked and Saito cut it, before it was put down again. Then when Saito and Raelza were having their moment, the demon attacked again! The wolf pup finally killed it. Morlock then returned some of his power to the father wolf, which revived it. It's not clear if this took Morlock's life, but that seems unlikely.

 

Episode 12 was alright, just an episode rounding it out. For a brief moment Morlock somehow turned into a woman. Saito gifted Raelza a beautiful hair pin. Saito made a little bath out of some can for Lafanpan. It ended up with her becoming human-sized and without wings for a day. That was an experience. After Morlock finished getting smashed, he came in naked and covered his junk with the can thing that made Lafanpan human-sized which worked on his junk. Towards the end, it seemed that the group was running out of money, and in that moment everyone was asking Saito to fix things.
