To Another World... with Land Mines! Series

“Hey! I’m an evil god, but I’m not actually evil!” Those were the first words I heard in the afterlife. My name’s Naofumi Kamiya, and my entire class died in a tragic bus accident. The god told my classmates that he would transport all of us to a dangerous new world, but he created skills for us on request, so maybe he was actually a good god? That’s what I thought at first, anyway. But when it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! I feel bad for my classmates who thought that gimmicky skills would make them invincible. I mean, the god did warn them that there were no cheat skills! Oh well. As for myself, I’m enjoying my life with my childhood friends, putting safety first and staying out of trouble. After all, this world might seem like a game, but it’s not. It’s reality.

Nao, Touya, and Haruka finally have the money to leave town and search for their two other friends, Natsuki and Yuki, whom they haven’t seen since they arrived in this new world. A touching reunion takes place, but the joy of seeing each other again does not last long. They have a lot of problems ahead of them to solve, such as searching for a grimoire, purchasing new weapons, hunting boars, and viewing new places to live. On top of all that, they have to help out a beautiful elf whose cafe is suffering from financial difficulties! Their slice of life adventures exploring a different world continues in this long-awaited second volume!

Nao's party has agreed to temporarily settle down in Laffan, but that means they have to begin saving up money again in order to purchase a plot of land and pay for the construction of a house. In order to earn money, they start with the basics and take on some well-paying gathering quests for herbs, while also aiming for other options that would rake in a lot of money, like harvesting magical mushrooms and capturing giant salamanders. However, there’s no such thing as easy money, so their goal of achieving a relaxing and peaceful life in this different world is still a distant dream. Money comes and goes; that’s the harsh reality that Nao’s party has to face.

After a skirmish with a powerful band of orcs, Nao’s party realizes that they have to get stronger. so the first thing they do with the loot they bagged? Why, they pay a visit to their classmate, Tomi, who has become an apprentice at the local weapon store. They then start to focus on training and manage to learn new skills—but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The group departs on a hunting trip for giant salamanders (partially as an excuse to relax) only to find giant mushrooms have appeared all over town upon their return! Nao’s party and their adventures in this world are about to hit a strange turning point as their house nears completion.

Nao and his friends return to Laffan for a short break before accepting a new quest to retrieve a sword—a prized family heirloom that belongs to the House of Nernas. The sword apparently went missing at the abandoned mine they briefly checked out once before, but upon further exploration, they discover that the mine is really a full-blown dungeon! On top of that, they meet Mary and Metea, two sisters who were chased from their home in Kelg because of the Holy Satomi Sect. Trouble just seems to follow Nao and his friends wherever they go, making their dream of an easy life feel further away than ever! 

For a new source of income, Nao and his friends decide to harvest and sell precious wood to carpenters in Laffan. In order to reach the area of the forest where precious wood grows, however, they’ll have to traverse dangerous terrain and contend with all sorts of threats—even monsters. Is the reward worth the risk? Follow their new adventures, including swimming sessions and a competition to see who can make the best inspiel sauce, in this sixth volume!

Once they’re done celebrating the completion of their home with a housewarming party, Nao and his friends are quick to make their next move. They head out to the east forest to earn some money, but an unexpected run-in with some unusual undead monsters means a quick change of plans—dealing with danger comes first, after all! When they hit up the Adventurers’ Guild for information, Diola-san counters with a request to exorcise a mansion that’s supposedly haunted. Nao’s party accepts the job and immediately sets out for the overgrown estate, none the wiser about what awaits them there! Even though they have a house now, a peaceful life is apparently still out of reach...

Nao’s party accepts a quest from Viscount Nernas to serve as bodyguards for his daughter, Illias, and escort her to the beautiful city of Clewily to attend a baron’s wedding. Contrary to their plans, however, Nao and Haruka somehow end up having to participate in the wedding as well. In their tuxedo and dress, they look like a newlywed couple themselves. Haruka reveals her feelings for Nao in an endearing manner, but despite reciprocating her feelings, Nao is conflicted about how to respond. Will their indecisive relationship finally progress to the next step? Find out in this tenth volume!

The orphans Mary and Metea want to join Nao’s party as adventurers, so Nao and his friends decide to bring them along and explore a dungeon so that they can gain first-hand experience. However, although it’s their first time embarking on such an adventure, the young sisters display an unexpected form of strength. The dungeon that they explore is a strange and mysterious one in which the environment changes with each floor. The bond between the members of the Meikyo Shisui party, both old and new, will be put to the test!

Nao’s party continues exploring the dungeon they discovered in order to train Mary and Metea. There they find all sorts of different fruits and other ingredients waiting for them on each new floor. Their diet soon expands to include high-quality milk, fresh jam, ice cream, tempura, and more. There’s plenty of food in this ninth volume, but that’s not all! A quest from Viscount Nernas with a surprising reward makes its way to Nao’s party. More adventures await them in a land beyond Laffan!

Nao and his friends escort Illias back to Pining, but they hardly get a chance to rest and recover before they’re swept up into the investigation of a series of kidnappings. With hard work and a little luck, they quickly crack the case and apprehend an unexpected culprit. As a reward, they’re granted the rights to the land around the dungeon they discovered, and they pass their time comfortably: exploring the dungeon, rock climbing, mushroom foraging, and throwing a flower-viewing party. But nothing can remain the same forever, and soon, under the enchanting moonlight, Nao finally musters the courage to confess his true feelings to Haruka.
