Transcription: "Isekai Shōkan wa Nidome desu" (Japanese: 異世界召喚は二度目です)		Motoki NakanishiYukihitoMotoki NakanishiApril 9, 2023 (2023-04-09)
Setsu, his childhood friend Yuhi, and their high school classmates are summoned to another world as heroes of Distinia Kingdom, at war with the demons after five years of peace. This does not surprise Setsu as he was summoned to Distinia before as the previous hero who successfully ended the last war before being abruptly returned to Japan to restart his life as a baby. While his classmates train as beginners Setsu has regained his old powers and reveals his identity to his former teammate, now a knight, Elka by spanking her, revealing her secret masochistic attraction to him. He also meets former teammates Glein and Thea who reveal Setsu had disappeared in an explosion while duelling a man named Toma, ending the war. Setsu suspects Toma has restarted the war by manipulating the demons with curse magic. Setsu decides not to reveal his identity publicly and will prevent the war by going out on his own to find Toma, leaving his teammates to train his classmates. After stealing his old sword Kuromaru from Distinia’s armoury Yuhi asks to accompany him but he tells her to stay and train for when he returns.

Setsu rescues a young girl named Ruri from a monster attack. As she is making an important delivery of the last piece of jewellery her grandfather repaired before his death Setsu agrees to escort her to the next town. There, Ruri tries to hire a ship to the Demon Continent, but all travel there is cancelled due to the war. Bullying royal knights harass Ruri to steal her valuables but Setsu humiliates them in front of witnesses. At an inn Setsu peeks at the jewellery while Ruri bathes and discovers it is a necklace from his previous life he enchanted with protection magic as a gift for a close friend. This worries him, if Ruri’s grandfather was asked to repair it, it could only have broken if his friend was in a serious fight and may not have survived. The knights frame them as demon sympathizers and try to arrest them, but they escape when Setsu summons his old friend Leviathon, water dragon and Goddess of the Ocean, leaving the knights bewildered and terrified. Leviathon agrees to carry them across the sea to the Demon Continent.

Arriving at the continent Leviathon kills a Kraken then transforms into a young woman nicknamed Levaia to scold Setsu for not helping. Setsu makes deep fried squid as an apology. Ruri reveals her customer is actually Dezastol “Dezas” Serreno, the current demon lord and old friend of Setsu and Levaia. Not wanting to waste food they take the Kraken to Volsee village who celebrate as the Kraken had ruined their fishing trade. During the party Ruri realises Levaia has a crush on Setsu but is angry he vanished for five years. Vlad, Dezas’ bodyguard, sees the party and upon seeing Setsu has returned begs him to save Dezas. Dezas has been cursed and forced to marry Terran Sneeter, the wealthiest human merchant in the world who claims he can arrange peace since humans attacked the demon continent first. Setsu is surprised since humans believe the demons attacked first. Setsu suspects there is a conspiracy to restart the war which probably includes Terran using his merchants network to spread false information. To rescue Dezas and interrogate Terran, Setsu and Levaia set off to Evilbarrow, Dezas’ castle, to stop the wedding.

Dezas, who is deeply in love with Setsu, had worked hard to maintain the peace he won before disappearing. One day her necklace mysteriously broke so she sent it to be repaired but never got it back due to the new war breaking out. Terran eventually offered peace in exchange for their marriage so Dezas agreed to marry him and wear a new necklace cursed to ensure her slave-like obedience. Terran reports to the conspirators he will soon own the Demon Continent, though they seem uninterested in whether the war ends or not. Setsu interrupts the wedding in the nick of time to prevent Terran putting the cursed necklace on Dezas, who is overjoyed at Setsu’s return. Terran’s bodyguard escapes to report back to the conspirators. Setsu confirms the cursed necklace was made by Toma and destroys it before returning Dezas’ repaired necklace to her, renewing their promise of peace. Next, Setsu decides to visit his other friend Regulus, King of the Beastmen. Terran is arrested and Dezas asks Setsu for a date after the war. Ruri is allowed to open a shop in Dezas’ kingdom. Setsu and Levaia depart to find Regulus.

Flashbacks show Yuhi wanted to attend the same highschool as Setsu, even attending extra classes but couldn’t get the grades and was heartbroken, until Setsu helped her study. Now in Distinia Yuhi finds she has a talent for magic and asks Elka and Glein for additional training to become Setsu’s teammate faster. Elka is convinced by her skills but not her resolve. She pits Yuhi against a low level monster which she defeats but hesitates to kill it. Disappointed, Elka kills it and Yuhi realises in a real fight she would only be a liability for Setsu. Thea heals her injuries and reveals Elka was only hard on her because she also wants Elka strong enough to become Setsu’s teammate. Yuhi asks Glein how he found his resolve. Glein enjoys hurting his enemies but advises Yuhi to find her own type of resolve. Yuhi defeats another monster but refuses to kill it, having found her resolve to be strong enough to support Setsu without needing to kill. Elka accepts her resolve as it is the same type Setsu once had. The King abruptly decrees Yuhi and her classmates will leave for a mission to the demon continent immediately.

Following Setsu’s disappearance Alizee worked as a monster slayer and was recently hired by Zathrow village to slay a dragon. Villager Amelle was worried her brother had disappeared when the dragon appeared. Alizee noticed the dragons victims always just vanished, with no signs of a dragon attack. After injuring the dragon and driving it away Alizee found all the villagers had gone missing, except Amelle. She is now taking Amelle to a city to find someone to look after her. Setsu suspects the villagers were kidnapped by powerful teleportation magic, which by coincidence lured in the dragon, making it seem the dragon was behind the disappearances. From clues in their conversation Setsu identifies Amelle as the culprit. Amelle reveals she is a powerfull dragon in human form so Setsu and Alizee slay her. Setsu and Levaia set off to the Beastman continent while Alizee stays hoping to find the missing villagers. Returning to Zathrow Alizee finds Amelle is alive. Her real name is Melluar, the Master of Monsters, and she has been kidnapping people to turn them into powerful doll soldiers for Toma’s army.
