In a sense, Takumi Iruma got the short end of the stick since he wasn’t supposed to be summoned, and there’s no way for him to go back to Earth. I’m not surprised as with most isekai, going back to the real world (or a real world in the case of The Rising of the Shield Hero) is either impossible or will be found later within said series. At least Lady Nolyn made it up by sending Takumi to the continent of Asgard one year before the Holy Sidonia Empire summoned the heroes.
Despite not wanting to have an adventuring job, Takumi was able to defend himself when that Horned Rabbit showed up, and as a result he learned of Bord Village, along with the little girl he saved named Molly, her father Banga whose a hunter, her mother Martha, and Bobon the blacksmith.
Takumi makes himself at home and gets used to his magic. The way magic works in this series is interesting, and I like how Takumi was instantly able to turn a piece of wood into a spear (though where did the metal come from), and he’s able to use his newfound Alchemist title with his alchemy skills to decompose the insides of a Huge Armored Boar and save a spider who he calls Maple, taming an insect type monster which apparently is known to be impossible to do. Banga mentions how Takumi is meant for more than this village, and I agree. He may be just an alchemist, but he’s got a lot of potential (a lot of this having to do with Nolyn of course), so I wonder what awaits.
In case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m definitely continuing this series and learning more about the magic system and the other things Takumi can do.
