Synopsis:
After facing a comically tragic death on his way back from buying the latest game, Kazuma Satou finds himself sitting in front of a beautiful yet irritating goddess named Aqua to negotiate.
While conversing, Aqua annoyingly labels Kazuma as a NEET/Hikimori and mocks his ridiculous death. After discussing Kazuma's death, Aqua gives him two options: either go to heaven or reincarnate into a real fantasy world!
Kazuma chooses to start a new life, quickly being tasked with defeating the Demon King terrorizing the village. But before he leaves, he can choose one item in any form to aid him in his quest, as Aqua continues to tease him, he chooses Aqua as his item. Both of them are then sent to the fantasy world! Kazuma soon finds out that the goddess with him is utterly useless!
Unfortunately, their troubles don't end there; it turns out living in such a world is far different from playing a game.
