Mukoda, a salaryman caught up in a “Hero Summoning,” finds himself transported from modern-day Japan to another world. Just as the dismantling of the Leviathan, a massive project in the royal capital, is about to conclude, Fel and the others drag him off on a dinosaur hunt. Accidentally overhunting, they cause the extinction of a species, leading Mukoda to punish Fel and his friends. Then, with the materials they brought back, they end up causing trouble at the adventurers’ guild in the royal capital…

Despite all that, Mukoda and his party enjoy their time in the capital with food tours, shopping, and celebrating the promotion of “Iron Will.” Eventually, they return to Karerina.

Finally back from the royal capital, Mukoda lets his guard down, thinking he can relax for a while. But Fel and the others have no intention of letting him rest, dragging him out on another hunt. The target this time is said to be a green dragon, but they don’t even tell him where they’re headed—until they arrive at an unexpected destination…!?

The outrageous isekai adventure continues in Volume 17, featuring a surprising encounter on a mysterious island!
