Plot Ken Usato is an ordinary high school student, while his classmates Suzune Inukami and Kazuki Ryusen are the president and vice president of their school's student council, respectively. On a rainy evening, they are walking home from school when a magic circle transports them to the Llinger Kingdom in another world. Its king, King Lloyd, informs them that they have been summoned as heroes to defend the Kingdom from the Demon Lord and his army, which was repelled after attacking the Kingdom two years ago and is preparing for another invasion, and that there is currently no way to return them to their world. They also learn that only Inukami and Kazuki were meant to be summoned, and that Usato was summoned by accident. When they are tested to determine what magical powers they possess, Usato discovers that he is able to use healing magic, which is rare, but considered to be weak and almost useless compared to other forms of magic. Upon learning this, Rose, the captain of the Kingdom's Rescue Team, enlists him into her team and begins training him to be a healer on the front lines of battle, while Inukami and Kazuki are trained as warriors. During and even after the battle, Usato is determined to save as many people as possible and prove that healing magic is not to be underestimated or looked down upon.
