Earning enough to cover living expenses remains a struggle for Kazuma Satou and his troublesome adventuring party. Aqua, their goddess and archpriest, offers little help. Megumin specializes in explosion magic, but can cast only one spell a day and refuses to learn anything else. Their crusader, Lalatina Ford "Darkness" Dustiness, brings her own complications with her unabashed masochism.
This is hardly the fantasy-world life Kazuma chose after his death. Offered heaven or another chance at life, he picked the latter, and Aqua charged him with defeating the Demon King. Allowed to choose a weapon for the task, he took Aqua herself—a decision he has regretted ever since. Now their adventures continue, with the need for money competing with the difficulty of managing one another. Whatever plans the party makes, their own foolish behavior has a habit of getting in the way.
