Storyline
Naofumi Iwatani is a shut-in Otaku with no friends. One day, Naofumi gets transported to a Fantasy World along with 3 other boys. Apparently, the four of them were summoned as the four Cardinal Heroes to serve the Kingdom of Melromarc.
They are supposed to fight some monsters that come from a dimension in the form of waves.
The other three heroes received a spear, a sword and a bow as their weapons. However, Naofumi received a shield. The shield was not considered a very powerful equipment and he did not get as much grace as the other heroes did.
On top of it, Naofumi got wrongly accused of sexual assault by Malty, the princess of Melromarc. He was then banished from the Kingdom.
Naodumi decided to start over his journey from the start and formed a party with a demi-human, Raphtalia and a Filolial, Filo.
Now, he must clear his name and prove that he’s equal to the other legendary heroes with the help of his party members.
