Kayano Takumi finds himself face-to-face with a bowing god—victim of a cosmic blunder that cost him his life. Reincarnation is off the table, but a second chance in another world awaits. He accepts without hesitation. Yet the deity's incompetence strikes twice: Takumi lands in a treacherous forest teeming with danger. Worse still, abandoned children roam these woods. Unable to turn away, he becomes their guardian. Now, sword in hand and youngsters in tow, Takumi must survive the wilds while raising the next generation—all while questioning the god's ever-growing list of mistakes.
