Synopsis
Seiya Ryuguin is a Japanese man with natural god-tier stats summoned to Gairbrunde, an ultra hard, S-rank fantasy RPG type of world. He is summoned by Ristarte, a rookie goddess of healing, to save Gairbrunde. Originally, Ristarte believed he was the perfect candidate to be the hero because of his amazing stats, which she found in his profile. However, unbeknownst to Ristarte, Seiya is overly cautious about adventuring. He prefers to stay in his room where it’s safe to build his muscles instead of walking outside to learn of a new world and fight monsters. Ristarte is constantly shocked and appalled by Seiya but must guide and motivate him to be the world’s hero.

Characters
Seiya Ryuguin (Voiced by: Yuichiro Umehara)
Seiya is a handsome Japanese male. He is physically fit to a surprising degree and over 180 cm tall. At the start of his adventure, he purchases and wears an outfit consisting of purple and black cloth and silver armor. Being overly cautious, he even doubts Rista’s words despite her role as a divine goddess. His style of expression is usually serious and deadpan.
Ristarte (Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki)
Ristarte is called Rista for short. She is the female main protagonist of the story. A rookie goddess, she is worried about her mission to save the world of Gairbrunde, a S-rank challenge. To improve her odds, she summons Seiya, an OP male individual, to save the world. She soon learns that he’s overly cautious and difficult to work with. Rista wears an elegant white dress that is somewhat revealing, which makes her look like an exhibitionist in Seiya’s opinion. When Rista loses her temper because of Seiya’s rude remarks, she forgets to keep up the elegant and graceful attitude expected of a goddess.
Mash (Voiced by: Kengo Kawanishi)
Mash is a male warrior of the Dragon Clan. He wears a green and orange outfit with a green and yellow headband. When Seiya meets him, Seiya scans his stats. Seeing Mash’s stats are so much lower than his own, he proclaims that Mash is useless and unqualified to party up with him.
Elulu (Voiced by: Aoi Koga)
Elulu is a female wizard of the Dragon Clan. She wears a pink and purple outfit that includes a cape and waves a tiny wand with a heart at its top. Elulu is beside Mash when she first meets Rista and Seiya. Like Mash, Seiya deems her to be too weak to allow on his team. Seiya is worried their weakness will get him killed.
Aria (Voiced by: Hibiku Yamamura)
A beautiful female veteran goddess with short red hair and a purple dress. She is Rista’s senpai. She is calm and listens peacefully to Rista’s problems.
