Mukouda Tsuyoshi was nothing special in modern Japan, so when he was summoned to a world of swordplay and sorcery, he thought he was ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Too bad the kingdom that summoned him only got him by mistake! Not only was he not one of the three summoned heroes, but his stats were laughable compared to theirs. On top of that, there's something really sketchy about this kingdom... "Ah, these people are the kind to try and use the Hero," he realized, and immediately...

But now, finally, the serious business is all settled and Mukohda gets to kick back and enjoy himself!

Once they deal with the kraken, they can reap the...

It's great being a hero! Super powers, loved by every-- wait, what? Brought over by mistake? These stats are awful, and the kingdom sure seems sketchy...And so begins Mukouda Tsuyoshi's life in another world. And if he thought his strength was bad, his special skill is... accessing his old online supermarket?! It's useless for combat, but if he plays his cards right, there's gold in rare goods.
