[Story Summary] Kazuma Satou, a shut-in who loves video games, was supposed to have his life cut short in a traffic accident (?!), but due to a series of unexpected events, he is reincarnated into another world, accompanied by the goddess Aqua. "Enjoy the life of an adventurer you've always dreamed of in an alternate world like an RPG! Aim to become a hero!"

But Kazuma's excitement is short-lived, as troubles befall him in his reincarnated life.

He ends up forming a party with three incredibly talented but incredibly unfortunate people: Aqua, the troublemaking goddess; Megumin, a magician with a severe case of chuunibyou; and Darkness, a female knight with a nonstop delusion.

He also finds himself drowning in debt, being put on trial for treason, defeating Demon King's army leaders, and occasionally dying...

One day, after returning from the Village of the Crimson Demons, Kazuma and his friends receive a letter.

Princess Iris wants to hear the story of Kazuma and his friends' adventure, in which they defeated the Demon King's army leaders.

Princess Iris, accompanied by her bodyguards and instructors Claire and Rain, visits the city of Axel. Just when you thought her meeting with Kazuma and his party had ended peacefully, Princess Iris suddenly says, "You said you'd tell me more adventure stories, didn't you?" She's grown attached to Kazuma!? When Kazuma opens his eyes, he finds himself in the royal capital! While staying at Iris's request, Kazuma gets a taste of the luxurious life in the royal castle and decides to stay. However, at the same time, a crime is occurring in the royal capital, with a band of righteous thieves operating behind the scenes!?
