The story
The story begins with the goddess Ristarte, tasked with saving a world from destruction. To accomplish this, she summons a hero from another realm, a common practice among deities. This chosen hero is Seiya Ryuuguuin, a man possessing immense power and skill, making him an ideal candidate to face the grave dangers ahead.
However, Seiya's formidable abilities are overshadowed by his extreme and often absurd caution. He meticulously overtrains for every encounter, even against the weakest monsters, and purchases excessive amounts of equipment, always preparing for the absolute worst-case scenario. This drives the comedic narrative as Ristarte struggles to manage her hero's bizarre methods while the fate of her world hangs in the balance, dependent on Seiya's meticulous, if eccentric, preparations.
