Plot
editA depressed author only known as Sensei makes a suicide pact with his girlfriend Sacchan. Before they can do anything, they are struck by a truck. Sensei suddenly finds himself in another world, where an elf priestess named Annette says she summoned him to be a hero, but he ignores her and wanders off, having no desire to help others. He tries to get himself killed, but fails due to luck and inadvertently saves a catgirl he names Tama, never paying attention and always tuning her out whenever she tries to reveal her true name. Annette and Tama become his companions as he desires to find Sacchan so they can complete their suicide pact.

Sensei and his girlfriend Sacchan make a suicide pact, but before they can do anything, they are hit by a truck. Sensei wakes up in a temple where the elf priestess Annette says she summoned him as a hero to take on the Dark Lord. She is shocked when she checks his stats and finds he has no increased physical traits or special skills. He is uninterested in being a hero and attempts suicide. When she stops him, he leaves. His different attitude compared to other summoned heroes makes her fall in love with him. Sensei meets a catgirl being attacked by a Death Tree. He is unenthusiastic about helping and the tree grabs him and tries to drain his life force, only to get poisoned instead. He calls the catgirl Tama. Offended, she tries to introduce herself, but he keeps ignoring or interrupting her. They go to the temple and Annette is jealous seeing Sensei and Tama together. Sensei wants to find Sacchan so they can complete their suicide pact. The two girls offer to travel with him, but he sleeps in a coffin and makes them pull it. | |||||

The trio has an audience with King Thomas and Princess Charlotte. Thomas asks for help picking which of Charlotte's suitors to marry, the heroic knight Gomes or the minstrel and Charlotte's childhood friend Otto. Sensei calls him a fool to leave this decision to strangers. That night, as Tama and Annette argue about who can sleep next to Sensei, he leaves the room and meets Charlotte. He talks about his desire to die and she talks about how she cannot decide who to marry. He says she should consider what she truly wants, not what others think. The next day, Charlotte says she picks neither of them and would rather commit suicide with Sensei, making Annette faint. She says Otto does nothing useful except play music and Gomes is stinky, then snaps at her father for trying to make her marry when she didn't want to. Infuriated, Gomes reveals he was a demon in disguise and attacks them with Tama defending them. Gomes rushes Sensei and Charlotte, and when she says she doesn't want to die, he pushes her out of the way. Annette revives and defends Sensei with a barrier, allowing Tama to knock Gomes into a lake. Regretful of his poor judgment, Thomas abdicates the throne and makes Charlotte the queen. | |||||

The trio travel to another temple run by Annette's friend Ysha, hoping Sacchan was summoned there. Annette had her familiar deliver a letter explaining why she left her own temple, but the familiar, which Sensei names Melos, returns and failed to deliver it. They meet a dragon and its rider, the dragongirl Waldelia. The meeting is civil at first, but when Waldelia learns Sensei is an otherworlder, she proclaims her hatred of otherworlders and attacks. After she beats up Annette and Tama, Sensei says it is him she wants and she impales him, only to be shocked when he doesn't die and asks why her eyes are sad, so she retreats. Melos drags them to Ysha who heals them. Ysha doesn't know Sacchan and scolds Annette for leaving her temple and traveling with an otherworlder, reminding her that everyone summoned so far was a scumbag. As Annette defends Sensei, Kōtarō, an otherworlder with the power to summon gold tries to flirt with them, but Annette smacks him away. Ysha says the Dark Lord was reported killed seven days ago. Meanwhile, Waldelia swears to avenge her father. Tama and Annette buy Sensei a suit of armor. Ysha meets him and warns him to stay away from Annette. Kōtarō announces Suzuki, the otherworlder who killed the Dark Lord. Suzuki says he is taking over and demands the people kneel. Kōtarō points out Annette as the one who smacked him, so Suzuki walks up and threatens her. | |||||

So he orders his beasts, Annette and Tama to attack the town. Tama attacks Sensei but gets knocked out when his helmet smacks her in the face. Ysha tells him what's going on but this appears to excite Sensei as he goes to meet Suzuki at Ysha's church. Sensei says he's become inspired by Suzuki's story of wannabe hero turned villain and wants to write a story about him. Suzuki takes offense to this and sends his beasts to attack him. The beasts are defeated by a combination of Ysha's magic, Melos using Sensei's helmet as a shield and Sensei's poison, making Kōtarō flee in terror. Suzuki sends Annette to attack them but Sensei manages to get her to free herself from Suzuki's power. Seeing no other way out Suzuki tries to kill himself but Sensei stops him and gets Suzuki to tell his backstory. Inspired by it, Sensei finishes his story, which triggers Sensei's new ability, Storyteller. This activates a summoning circle that sends Suzuki back to Earth. Ysha thinks that Sensei was sent here to fight Other Worlders. Ysha gives Sensei a new coffin and encourages Annette to stay with Sensei. A post-credit scene shows that Suzuki was sent back to Earth and got a job at a supermarket. | |||||

Ysha meets with her fellow priests and Cardinal Miller. The Cardinal confirms that seven other worlders killed the Dark King.

The other priests are worried until Ysha explains about Sensei and his power to send other worlders back to Earth. It’s also revealed that Sacchan is one of the seven evil other worlders. Meanwhile, the heroes arrive in a small village where they meet a boy named Nir. Nir says he’ll introduce them to a valiant warrior for a price. This is later shown to be a scam that Annette fell for. Later that night, Sensei runs into Nir being threatened by three other worlders. Sensei scares them off when they see his excitement at the threat of being killed and how his HP skyrockets at the thought of it. The next day as the heroes are about to leave, Nir meets them at the gate and joins their party. The team travels to Tama’s hometown but are quickly arrested by the guards for unknown reasons. | |||||

Meanwhile, Tama witnesses an attack on the castle by one of the evil other worlders, Kaibara.
