Bang!
Anime Russian Roulette - Sometimes you lose.
In this case, Lv2 kara Cheat datta Motoyuusha Kouho no Mattari Isekai Life - Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers.
Interesting bit: The hero is summoned from another fantasy world instead of ours.
I had a whole write up for this attached to the previous post, but lost the edit. Somehow I closed the tab, but Ctrl-W doesn't seem to be working in Firefox, so I'm not sure what I did.
The initial fantasy world had some problems, and I wasted more time writing about them than when they were on screen. Mostly it was about really inconsistent costume design.
Our Hero is the 198th innocent snatched out of his world the fight the "Dark Army", but unfortunately he has no special stats, and they can't tell what "Divine Gift" he was given as a power. They totally forget about him because a guy with blonde hair, a smirk, and solid 999 stats appears on the next circle. They pay so much attention to the obviously bad hero that they forget to send our guy back, and he's stuck there when the gate closed.
Then the King grants him a place to stay in a forest on the edge of the kingdom (Which is full of toxic demon gas, as we find out later), and has him thrown on a wagon and dragged out there on a 20 day trip. They did supply him with a bag of holding with some crap and some useful stuff (100,000 gold in various coins, I noticed, which is important later). But the bag had a crap sword in it, and apparently an attract monster curse. Still, he managed to kill the three slimes that attacked him, and he leveled up, and all his stats went to infinity, a symbol he'd never seen before and didn't understand.
The status screens and menus come with a voice mode, and make suggestions to him. It stops him from going into the polluted wood, suggests a purification spell, which he casually casts (Turns out it's one of the biggest holy spells ever.), but then he decides he actually wants to go back to town, where he's been banned. Presto, transformation spell. For a moment he chooses to edit his character to female, but changes back with a different look. then Teleports back to the capitol.
Upon arriving at the capitol, he decides to see if there's a guild, because he needs money....
It was at this point, if this were a book, I'd have thrown it at the wall. He had boatloads of money, enough to last years. But he left that bag of holding in the woods. WTeverlovingF?
I should unpause and continue....
So, he goes to the Adventurers' Guild because he just ASSUMES he can't join the Merchants' Guild without knowing somebody. And look, busty elf guild receptionists. And E through A ranks. "Works just like the guilds at home." Not much of an Isekai if you STARTED in an Isekai world....
At the guild, instead of taking a job off the board, he decides to help this broke little elf urchin who wants to go to the forest he just left. And he mistakenly brags he can teleport her. Which freaks everyone in the guild hall. He then gets an intervention from a female member of the Royal Knights who thinks he's up to no good, (with her three friends, a mage, barbarienne, and an archer (who is NOT an elf, but kitted out like one), also destined to be in the harem I wager.). To allay their suspicions, he offers to take them with.
Pulling it off convinces them he's the most exalted of wizards or something, and there's profuse apologizing and bowing and kneeling.
The little girl is surprised the forest isn't full of the poison gas. And our hero is about to blurt out that he used the purification spell when his status screen warns him that it's dangerous to tell a demon (whups, not an elf) that you can use purification. Considering that Teleportation is a trivial spell for him and it blows everyone away, the fact that you used purification which used a third of your mana pool should be a pretty big giveaway, but mister natural skill at math totally misses this.
Then the future harem step up to attack the little girl, whom they know is a demon now, and demand to see her true form. Be careful what you wish for... she transforms into a giant wolf-beast, and announces her particularly high status amongst the demons. Then she emits the poison gas which incapacitates everyone but our hero. He teleports all the girls back to town but stays behind to fight, with no idea what to do. He's just gonna spam all of his spells. Cliffhanger ending.
Clues from the end credits and the preview, the little girl form is a disguise, she's actually an adult. And he apparently domesticates her as his first haremette. Yay.
Of every Isekai I've seen, this has to be the laziest, and has the biggest plot holes, in spite of taking the easiest route ever. But the girls are cute, if also kind of standard issue.
If you're bored, I guess you can watch it.

That's what got me that far, but she seems to be an enemy.

Okay, figured out the Control-W thing. Apparently the update notification for Samsung Magician steals Control W when it pops up, and never releases it. Unless you reboot (then it steals it again) or you update.
