Plot:
The Great task of saving the world of Gaeabrande from the Demon Lord through the process of summoning a human hero out of the vast population that too should have the abilities appropriate for the job has fallen upon the shoulders of a novice goddess named Ristarte.
Gaeabrande is a vast S – class world that is full of dangerous experiences and has had the apocalypse fallen on its head in the form of the demon lord. Ristarte finds it quite difficult to find an appropriate candidate and after a long search, she settles on Seiya Ryugujin whose statistics overpower the statistics of any other available candidates for the human hero job. Seiya manages to be summoned but soon after he becomes ridiculously cautious of everything around him including Ristarte herself.
Seiya denies any orders or requests of entering even Gaeabrande’s safest areas until being satisfied by his training and this attitude of his makes the goddess mad at him and makes her second guess her decision. Not long after Seiya’s annoying actions, the duo of the goddess and the human hero finally arrive at their destination but the later events that welcome their presence prove the human hero’s intuitions and cautions right.
