Episode 1 Recap
Saitou, a human reincarnated from Japan into a medieval fantasy world, uses his lock-picking skills to open up the way into a dungeon. The party members who hired him, the armored warrior Raelza, the divine magician fairy Lafanpan, and the old wizard Morlock, are a little doubtful of Saitou’s skills at first but are impressed when he is able to prove his skills.
While opening a treasure chest inside, Saitou remembers his time on Earth and realizes that he finds his life in the new world more fulfilling than the last. He is able to open the lock, but it turns out to be a mimic monster.
Raelza slashes it and kills it. Saitou notices her helmet looking loose, so he fixes it, and the party is amazed that he can do all sorts of things besides lock-picking.
Saitou asks the other two party members if Morlock is really a great wizard, to which they tell him he is very skilled since his level is over 80, but he is extremely forgetful. They tell him about the times when he even forgot that he belonged to their party. However, he is helpful too.
Once, everyone in their party except Morlock died. He ran out of magic, so he dragged their bodies to the surface and sold all their equipment to go to the church to revive them. Raelza realizes the only thing he didn’t sells was her bikini armor and asks Morlock about it, but he replies that he doesn’t remember.
Lafanpan is really good at healing and support magic and often helps them when they are injured, especially when Morlock’s back gives out. She, however, takes payment for her services in the form of gold coins.
Saitou realizes that her bag of coins must be heavy and makes her a small backpack. He asks her to make Morlock’s back better in compensation.
The episode shows one of Saitou’s clients, a dwarf magician, traveling seemingly alone on his adventure. He, however, has a dog named Shibamaru, whom he brings with him. There is also one other party consisting of two members.
Saitou works at an item shop with a girl named Maevna. She is impressed that he knows how to do an abacus. Raelza enters the shop with a different armor, but Saitou is able to recognize her.
She embarrassingly runs out, and Lafanpan tells her she should have just gone with him if she was curious. She is also impressed that Saitou could recognize her inside a totally new armor.
A thug sells a “magic” sword to Maevana for 18 gold coins. After getting out of the shop, he laughs at her for not recognizing that the sword was just a dull blade with attack magic on it and for getting scammed.
Inside the shop, Saitou and Maevana talk about how the sword has a blade that comes off, revealing mithril silver inside, something that would cost more than 300 gold coins.
The party gets attacked by monsters, and Saitou worries about him being a burden as Raelza saves them. He gets an idea and asks Morlock to teach him magic.
He isn’t able to learn magic since he doesn’t have any, but since Morlock often forgets his spells midway, he memorizes all of them and helps him remember whenever he forgets.
While opening a treasure chest, a trap activates, and Saitou falls down into an underground area where magic is unusable. The water somewhat cushioned his fall, but he breaks his leg. Saitou thinks that he is just a hired help, and thus the rest of the party has no reason to come help him since they can’t even use magic there, and he is just hired help.
To his surprise, they arrive from a walkable path, and Raelza helps him up. She tells him no one can replace him. Saitou expresses his gratitude and, once again, feels fulfilled.
