The remaining 13 episodes of the anime based on the light novel series. Following the death of his grandfather, trainee civil servant Kazuya Souma (voice of Yusuke Kobayashi) is left directionless and alone. Suddenly, however, he finds himself transported to the land of Elfreiden in another world, which has been under attack from the hordes of the Demon Lord for the past decade.
