Sensei suddenly finds himself in another world, where an elf priestess named Annette says she summoned him to be a hero, but he ignores her and wanders off, having no desire to help others. He tries to get himself killed, but fails due to luck and inadvertently saves a catgirl he names Tama, never paying attention and always tuning her out whenever she tries to reveal her true name. Annette and Tama become his companions as he desires to find Sacchan so they can complete their suicide pact.
