In this new world, he is designated to serve as a Combat Magician, tasked with enhancing the military prowess of a certain kingdom. However, after an evaluation of his magical capabilities, it is revealed that he possesses only two innate abilities: telekinesis and plant growth—both of which are considered rather mundane and commonplace among the populace.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to the core. The looks they gave him seemed as if they wanted to devour him alive, wishing he could vanish from this world and never appear in their lives again.
