01x01 - I Was Summoned By Accident

[bunniefuu]

[TAKUMI]

What is this?

Where am I?

Oh, yeah.

I was enveloped

in a bright light.

And then

Then, I

♪

[NOLYN]

Traveler.

You have been summoned

to the world of Mildgard

by the otherworlder

summoning spell.

♪

So, welcome.

I'm Lady Nolyn.

There's been a mistake!

[TAKUMI]

Huh?

My apologies,

it seems you were caught up

in a summoning meant

for other people.

[TAKUMI]

What mistake?

You just said

I was summoned here

literally a few seconds ago.

I know.

But let me explain.

By random selection,

the summoning spell

chooses between

countless targets

across a multitude of worlds.

You were removed from the list

but somehow

it picked you anyway.

[TAKUMI]

I was removed?

For starters,

the otherworlder summoning

is a very dangerous spell!

[buzzes]

The laws of nature

on planet Earth

are different from Mildgard,

so the spell carried high risk

of Mildgard itself collapsing.

[grunts] And that's exactly

why it was forbidden!

But that damn dunce

of a nation

recklessly activated it anyway.

[TAKUMI]

Wow, a Goddess just cursed.

When I noticed it

became active,

I decided to intervene

immediately.

But I was too late.

So, you're here, for now.

[TAKUMI]

Does that mean the others

who were summoned

before me are here, too?

[NOLYN]

Well, no, the proper targets

of the spell were safely

summoned to the place

where the spell was activated,

the Holy Sidonia Empire.

[TAKUMI] So, what you're saying

is me being summoned here

was nothing but a mistake.

Yes, precisely!

[TAKUMI] If that's the case,

then take me back home!

I'm sorry.

-I can't do that.

-[TAKUMI] What?

I got so frustrated with them,

so I patched things up

in order to prevent them

from using that forbidden

spell a second time!

And then

[TAKUMI]

Then what?

You see, regarding the patch.

It deals with the distortion

between the laws of the worlds

caused by the spell.

First, dealing

with the composition of the

[TAKUMI] Can you just get

to the point, please?

Hmm.

Returning to your world

is no longer possible!

[TAKUMI]

No way!

Also, you don't have

a body anymore.

[TAKUMI]

My body's gone? Really?

[NOLYN] You've caught

all kinds of blowback

since you were excluded

from the list.

I truly am sorry!

[giggles]

[TAKUMI] I can't go home

and you're laughing about it?

What am I supposed to do now?

I guess give up on your

old life and start over.

This time

as a resident of Mildgard.

[TAKUMI]

Start over?

Does this mean

I'm also going to be

summoned to that Sidonia

place you mentioned?

Or what?

It's certainly a possibility,

but the Holy Sidonia Empire

can be a problematic

place, y'know.

And seeing

as you're here by accident,

your treatment there

could be rather awful.

[TAKUMI] Why would they do

that after summoning me?

[NOLYN]

Because you're not a target.

[TAKUMI]

Oh, that's right.

Now, don't you worry.

I do have an idea.

And since I'm feeling guilty

about what happened.

How about I send

you to a different nation?

And I'll throw

in my super support

as an apology.

You'll have my blessing,

as well.

-So?

-Your blessing?

[NOLYN]

They're in games, novels,

and even anime in Japan, right?

You'll be in a fantasy

world like those.

So exciting, huh?

[TAKUMI]

I feel nothing but anxiety.

But aren't there monsters too?

Like goblins and dragons?

[NOLYN]

And that's why I'm giving you

my super support, correct?

Uh-aha.

-[TAKUMI] Hm.

-It's settled.

Now then

see if you can will "Status."

Status.

[gasps]

I'm 17?

Whoa, they have jobs here?

I was a salaryman

in my past life.

-I was pushing 40

-Who cares about the past?

Oh. And there're no

salarymen on Mildgard.

Let's see!

So, hero and warrior

are two possible jobs for you.

Also, there's swordsman,

mage, knight, thief,

and hunter.

There are production jobs too.

Herbalist and alchemist,

blacksmith, carpenter,

and others.

[TAKUMI] ListenI'm not one

to go looking for trouble.

So, I'll go

with a production job.

-Boring.

-[TAKUMI] Lay off, all right?

Well, if you utilize

the skills

you acquire

through your actions.

I'm sure you'll have

a job in no time.

-[TAKUMI] What is that?

-[NOLYN] If you're set

on a production job,

then I'll give you

a spell meant for those,

and I'll throw in a few

other things as well.

After all, it's the least

I can do for you.

[TAKUMI]

Wh-What's going on?

[gasps]

Get this away from

Argh!

It's inside me!

Bye, you're off

to the continent of Asgard, so.

Work hard and have fun!

to explain any of this first?

summoned by accident.

I did not like that at all.

I can do it

But I shouldn't use fire yet,

you've got a good head

Thank you!

would you mind

if I posted up in your village

'Course not!

These lands are quite bountiful

Yeah, and there's an ore vein

not far from the village,

This place is heaven

for craftsmen like us!

There's ore too?

This guy here is Bobon.

to use up most of my mana.

I didn't realize

you could use magic.

Especially not like that.

Uh, was I totally

out of line, or what?

Nah!

Why don't you save your mana

and leave the rest to us,

my friend!

the foundation first!

[TAKUMI] What a pleasant start

to life in a new world.

This might not be half bad!

[birds chirping]

[TAKUMI]

Home, sweet home!

Thanks to my Woodworking,

Blacksmithing,

and Carpentry skills.

I was able to craft

a basic set of furniture!

Right now,

I'm a warrior and a mage.

I wonder if I can change that?

Ask and you shall receive!

Now, then.

Mm-hmm.

This is more in line

with what I'd hoped for!

Time to work.

[TAKUMI] I have a table full

of iron, silver,

and copper ore that I mined

with Bobon the Blacksmith.

Plus, there's magic iron ore!

If memory serves me,

it's iron ore imbued

with mana.

And today, I'm gonna

transmute them all into ingots!

To smelt this much

ore at once,

you'd need a large furnace,

but I'm in a fantasy world now!

And now,

I'll try out some alchemy,

because I'm an alchemist.

Oh, yeah, that has a nice ring!

Generally speaking,

alchemy comprises

five different techniques.

Decomposition, extraction,

pulverization,

there's synthesis,

and then recomposition.

Once I've extracted

the iron ore with this method.

I hit it with a small dose

of Earth Magic.

No way!

I made an iron ingot!

It depletes

my mana fast, though.

But stillI can make ingots!

I'll keep plugging away,

because there's a ton of stuff

I want to make

with iron and copper!

[humming]

[knocking on door]

Hey, Mister Takumi!

I've brought you some

fresh food to eat!

Somebody, please help!

-[whimpering]

-I think Mister Takumi's dead!

[TAKUMI] I got carried away

and used so much

mana I passed out.

Then, came the stern lecture

from Martha

about the dangers

of overdoing it.

After receiving

a healing potion from Banga.

I continued my alchemy

without having

to take any mana breaks.

Except when Martha or Molly

came to check on me.

Which they did.

I extracted iron, silver,

copper, magic iron,

plus, a small amount

of gold, lead,

tungsten, titanium, and tin.

I was able to craft

cooking utensils

and other helpful tools.
