Plot

A group of four Japanese citizens, consisting of three high school students and one adult, are magically summoned to a parallel fantasy world by the Kingdom of Reijseger, who asks them for help in their war against the demon folk. As a result of the summoning ritual, the three students appear to have several powerful magical abilities and are accepted as "Heroes". However, the adult, an ordinary salaryman named Tsuyoshi Mukouda (a.k.a. "Mukohda"), is found to only have the power of "Online Supermarket". Unwilling to become a hero and also suspicious of the kingdom's true intentions, he convinces the nobles his ability is useless, allowing him to leave and pursue a simple life in the new world. Experimenting with his Online Supermarket skill, he discovers he is able to instantly order food and other products from Japan. During his travels, he meets a legendary beast known as a "Fenrir", who demands Mukohda feed him a meal. After numerous servings, the Fenrir, eventually named Fel, takes a liking to Mukohda's cooking and forces him to accept a familiar contract. As Mukohda continues his journey, he encounters other monsters, as well as gods from the Divine Realm, who grant him familiar contracts and blessings in order to obtain his food and otherworldly goods.

Characters

Main characters

Tsuyoshi Mukouda (向田剛志, Mukōda Tsuyoshi) / Mukohda (ムコーダ, Mukōda)
Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya[4] (drama CD), Yuma Uchida[5] (anime) (Japanese); Aaron Campbell[6] (English)
The main protagonist of the series. He is a mild-mannered but cowardly 27-year-old salaryman and proficient cook who is accidentally transported to another world during a hero summoning ritual. Tsuyoshi presents himself as "Mukohda" in the new world after learning full names are used exclusively by nobility. He has the unique ability "Online Supermarket", which allows him to purchase items from modern Japan. He is able to provide temporary stat buffs by cooking meals with ingredients bought through his skill. He gains notoriety as a beast tamer through his powerful familiar contracts.
Fel (フェル, Feru)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita[4] (drama CD), Satoshi Hino[5] (anime) (Japanese); Jonah Scott[6] (English)
A Fenrir and Mukohda's first familiar. He is a legendary wolf-like creature who has lived for over a thousand years. He has extraordinary strength, agility, and magic that enables him to wipe out most monsters with little effort. Fel is prideful, selfish, and gluttonous, choosing to follow Mukohda simply to eat his food. He loves meat and hates vegetables. Fel is also very self-conscious about his appearance and feels hurt whenever anyone points out if there is a blemish of any kind on his person.
Sui (スイ)
Voiced by: Misaki Kuno[4] (drama CD), Hina Kino[5] (anime) (Japanese); Bryn Apprill (English)
A slime and Mukohda's second familiar. Initially met as a baby, Sui evolves throughout the series by gaining experience through battle and eating trash from Mukohda's Online Supermarket purchases. Though slimes are generally regarded as weak, Sui is noted for being a special exception. It is able to melt enemies with acid bullets, as well as create potions and weapons. Sporting a child-like personality, it enjoys desserts and dislikes spicy foods. While it's gender is unknown in the original novels, Sui is male in the manga (as well as the drama CD) and female in the anime. Sui is the main protagonist of the spin-off manga series Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill: Sui's Great Adventure.
Dora-chan (ドラちゃん)
Voiced by: Hiro Shimono[4] (drama CD)
A pixie dragon and Mukohda's third familiar. He is very small, but has a spunky and boastful attitude. He is able to fly at extreme speeds and holds a vast amount of magical power. Despite being an adult dragon, he was named with the honorific -chan by Mukohda due to his size and cuteness, much to Dora's chagrin. His favorite treat is Japanese-style custard caramel pudding.
Old Man Gon (ゴン爺, Gonjii)
An ancient dragon and Mukohda's fourth (and temporary) familiar. Having lived for several millennia, he is an old rival of Fel and one of few creatures capable of fighting him on equal terms. Gon is similar to Fel in voraciousness, arrogance, and stubbornness, causing the two to butt heads. Much like Dora, he was given an embarrassing name by Mukohda. He normally stands about twenty stories tall, but is able to shrink at will.

Deities

Ninrir (ニンリル, Ninriru)
Voiced by: Ayane Sakura[4] (drama CD), Maaya Uchida[7] (anime) (Japanese); Macy Anne Johnson (English)
The Goddess of Wind, who has long silver-colored hair and a huge sweet tooth. She is the mistress of Fel and first deity to grant Mukohda her blessing, giving him immunity to poisons, illnesses, and other negative status effects. She first disagreed with Fel's contract with Mukohda, but comes to accept it after first experiencing what he has to offer. Due to her constant demands for otherworldly sweets (most of it from Fujiya according to the webnovel) and frequent emotional outbursts (to him and her fellow Goddesses), Mukohda often refers to her as the "divine disappointment".
Agni (アグニ, Aguni)
Voiced by: Yō Taichi[8] (anime) (Japanese); Michelle Rojas (English)
The Goddess of Fire, who has long red-colored hair, dark skin, and a hotheaded temperament. She strengthens Mukohda's fire magic in exchange for otherworldly beer.
Kisharle (キシャール, Kishāru)
Voiced by: Yūko Kaida[8] (anime) (Japanese); Morgan Garrett (English)
The Goddess of Earth, who has long blonde hair, a curvaceous figure, and a sisterly personality. She bolsters Mukohda's earth magic in exchange for otherworldly beauty products from Matsumoto Kiyoshi, including varieties of SK-II anti-ageing products.
Rusalka (ルサールカ, Rusāruka)
Voiced by: Saho Shirasu[8] (anime) (Japanese); Jad Saxton (English)
The Goddess of Water, who has shorter blue-colored hair, a young appearance, and a quiet demeanor. In spite of her often neutral personality, she can be prone to bursts of sorrow when she feels she has been wronged in some way, which even her fellow Goddesses cannot stand. Due to Mukohda's lack of affinity for water magic, she grants Sui her blessing instead to receive offerings of otherworldly food. In the spin-off manga, she becomes attached to Sui and begins holding long exchanges with the energetic slime with Sui coming to see her as akin to a big sister.
Vahagn (ヴァハグン, Vahagun)
The God of War, who wears a skull helmet and is adorned with tattoos. In exchange for otherworldly booze, he provides Dora (and Fel in the light novel) with his blessing, boosting their stats by 50% during battle.
Hephaestos (ヘファイストス, Hefaisutosu)
The God of Blacksmithing, who has dwarf-like features. In exchange for otherworldly booze, he gives Sui the ability to forge and upgrade weapons.
Demiurge (デミウルゴス, Demiurugosu)
The God of All Creation, the creator deity of the world Mukohda is summoned to. He eventually catches the other gods extorting Mukohda for his otherworldly goods, sentencing them to temporary house arrest. After Mukohda sends him sake as a gift, Demiurge bestows his blessing of longevity, raising Mukhoda's lifespan to 1,500 years.

Other characters

Elrand (エルランド, Erurando)
The elven guildmaster for the Adventurer's Guild in the dungeon city of Dolan. He is a former adventurer, expert swordsman, and skilled monster butcher. He is infamously known for his eccentric behavior and obsession with dragons. Elrand first meets Mukohda and his party after they seek his help in butchering a rare earth dragon for its meat. He often attempts to follow Mukohda around after learning about his exploits of defeating and recruiting dragons.
Lambert (ランベルト, Ranberuto)
Voiced by: Motoi Koyanagi (anime)
A leather goods merchant from the city of Karelina whom Mukohda befriends after saving his caravan from a bandit attack. The two form a successful business partnership, alongside Lambert's wife Marie, selling soap and hair treatment products from Mukohda's world. When Mukohda decides to make Karelina his base of operations and buy a house, Lambert offers him real estate advice and recommendations on purchasing servants.
Willem
Voiced by: Shinya Hamazoe (anime), Christopher Sabat (English)
