Sawatari Takeru found himself suddenly transported to a remote village in another world. Overjoyed, he shouted, "Hyahaa! Another World Teleportation! I'm the Hero!" He then rushed to the nearest shop, sold everything he owned, bought an iron sword, and headed to the Adventurer Guild to take on a Crazy Dog Subjugation quest. He charged out of the village to fight the dogs—and got thoroughly beaten. Just as he was about to die, a female adventurer saved him. She suggested he take a safer job as a farm laborer. His dream of being a hero ended on the first day. After a week of cleaning cow dung, he discovered that Japanese characters were considered sacred script in this world and used in official documents. So he applied for a position at the local government office and became an assistant secretary. While working there, he attempted to recreate modern inventions. He found that the surrounding area had the resources to make gunpowder. With his superior's help, he began developing explosives for mining, then muskets and cannons. Eventually, he started a company with slave girls as employees, selling soap and crepes. Meanwhile, the kingdom faced a growing threat from monster activity. Takeru's superior suggested that the capital use their firearms to fight back, but the knights just laughed at them. To prove them wrong, Takeru raised a volunteer army from slaves and farmers to eliminate the threat.
