His body was disintegrated by the spell, so Nolyn resurrects him as a teenager and gives an array of magical powers to make a new life for himself in Mildgard. Initially, Takumi wants to live peacefully and avoid conflict, so he decides to become an alchemist in the city of Bolton, but to gain employment, he has to become a member at the local adventurer's guild and fulfill at least one quest for them per month. His inventions cause the kingdom of Barcula to get unwanted attention from the Holy Sidonia Empire, which gets inspired to summon three heroes from Takumi's old world. ; : :An elf and Takumi's adventuring partner.

She is trained in cooking, cleaning and fighting, to the point she becomes excited whenever Takumi crafts tools that facilitate her tasks. Maria is cheerful and more socially adept, providing a contrast to the more restrained Sofia. ; : : A Killer Spider that helps Takumi survive an attack from a wild boar. Takumi decides to adopt her and they form a telepathic bond, which allows Takumi to interpret her thoughts as spoken words. Because of her ability to produce silk, she becomes an asset to Takumi's production efforts. She later evolves into an Arachne with a human torso atop her spider body and develops the ability to speak with others without Takumi having to act as her translator. It is through her that Takumi finds an adopt the Drake Horse who later evolved into a Dragon Horse Camellia. ; : : A Fox-girl that accepted to become a slave so that she could send money to her younger brother, who lives in a poor village.
