By the Grace of the Gods

Under the protection of the gods, a relaxed life with slimes in another world begins! One day, the life of middle-aged Japanese businessman Ryoma Takebayashi came to a rather sudden and disappointing end. Ryoma had never had a blessed life, but after his death, three great gods sought his cooperation and reincarnated him as a child in another world with swords and magic! Receiving a most cordial and divine welcome from the gods, Ryoma decides to live leisurely on his own in the forest for the time being. Working diligently at magic and hunting, Ryoma’s greatest passion comes to be researching his tamed slimes?! Training a variety of slimes (some newly discovered), the curtain rises on this easygoing life fantasy celebrating a second life with kind people in another world!

Enjoying a slow and leisurely life with slimes, the second volume of the easygoing otherworldly fantasy is here! Ryoma is a boy reborn from another world, who finds himself traveling with a kind duke family. After registering with the Adventurer’s Guild and successfully finishing his first major job, he accompanies the duke’s daughter Eliaria in her combat training, while learning new magics along the way! With a variety of slimes under his wing, Ryoma enjoys his second chance at life while encountering many kind people in this otherworldly fantasy story!

Ever since he left the forest, a boy from another world named Ryoma had been cared for by the duke's family. Rather than take advantage of their generosity, however, he's determined to live independently. Seeking to earn a stable income, he decides that alongside his adventuring job, he'll use his cleaner slimes to open a brand new laundromat! After he sets up his store by himself and hires some excellent employees, the laundromat opens to praise that far surpasses Ryoma's expectations. As business gets busier and more exciting, he also gets ahold of some new familiars in the third installment of this daily life fantasy!

Now that Ryoma has parted ways with the duke's family, it's time for him to begin a new life on his own in the abandoned mine he manages. Assorted issues take place at his laundromat, but as he solves them, he installs more security equipment in the store and becomes closer with his employees. When it's suggested that he starts training new staff so he can open a second laundromat in another location, Ryoma seeks out the ideal spot for his new store by going on a solo adventure for the first time! Ryoma's connections with the kind people around him further expand his world in the fourth installment of this daily life fantasy!

After some unexpected earnings on his first solo journey, Ryoma has opened his second laundromat with his slimes. He safely returns home to Gimul and receives a letter from Eliaria informing him that Gimul's founding festival is approaching. Ryoma and his employees decide to run a stall at the festival that sells foreign food and unique drinks.

Invited by the guildmaster, Ryoma attends a training meetup for new adventurers as one of the teachers. On the second day of the camping lesson at the Poison Bug Plains, he teaches unique ways of building bases and methods of telling the edible from the inedible in ways that are easy to understand, drawing everyone's attention. Then, at the request of the students, a mock battle is held between the teachers, and Ryoma demonstrates how to use a bow in combat! And as usual, there are new slimes, revolutionary discoveries, and Ryoma himself obtains unexpected skills and levels up in more ways than one!

Ryoma, the boy from another world, has gotten a chance to visit the Jamil family again. He and his merchant acquaintances, Serge and Pioro, visit the Jamil estate and hear that an unexpected person is getting married. Ryoma agrees to help prepare for the wedding, but at the same time, he inexplicably starts working on a new product using slimes. There are more familiar faces and peaceful moments, of course, and new allies too!

As the wedding fast approaches on the Duke’s estate, Ryoma toils away to add his finishing touches to the venue. The night before the wedding he encounters the mysterious Yui, and gains another glimpse of the inter-dimensional traveler who came before him. After the grandiose wedding, the gods among its attendees, a sense of normalcy returns to Ryoma’s life. A new adventure in a new destination may lead to a jackpot of new slimes like this fantasy world has never seen... Sit back, and enjoy the 8th installment in this slow-living, slice-of-slime-ridden-life fantasy.

Ryoma continues to enjoy his extended time in the fishing villages of Fatoma territory, away from his home base in Gimul. As he streamlines his morning hunts of mad salamanders to protect the fishermen at work, Ryoma receives two more special requests from Count Porco, lord of Fatoma, where his culinary ingenuity shines! Can Ryoma accomplish Porco’s quests with the help of his evolved slimes, modern knowledge, and experience in this fantasy world? While his slow living comes to fruition, a shocking truth about Ryoma’s previous life is revealed...!

Ryoma returns to Gimul after his successful business retreat, having discovered and evolved new slimes and found uses for them along the way. Unfortunately, crime has skyrocketed in Gimul during his absence, to the point where even the familiar Morgan Company has suffered an arson attack. Ryoma attends a meeting of small business owners in the city to address the rapid increase in crime, but when the host of the conference appears untrustworthy, Ryoma decides to take a stand against the supposed crime stoppers to protect his shop, employees, and Gimul itself. Another new volume of slow life in a fantasy world for Ryoma, with all-new slimes and all-new magic at his disposal!

Concerned by the changing social climate in Gimul, Ryoma resolves to reinvigorate the city and take out whoever is orchestrating the city's decline. With the help of reinforcements (courtesy of the duke) Ryoma uses his connection with the city's residents to his full advantage, concocting revolutionary policies and businesses to clean up the streets of Gimul! Meanwhile, the nine gods call Ryoma to explain a key piece of information about slime magic... The slime-ridden slice of life continues in this fantasy world, this time in the snow-crested city of Gimul.

With the help of the Jamils and volunteers throughout the city, Ryoma’s ventures in city management and defense come to full fruition to combat the sinister forces plotting to bring down Gimul. The conflict reaches its boiling point as fires and violent attacks break out all over the city! Ryoma jumps into action, coordinating with each department of his enterprise, but then discovers that his enemies are after him personally... Now Ryoma must fight to protect the city of Gimul and all the friends he’s gained in this fantasy world.

As Gimul heals from the attacks, Ryoma’s life in this fantasy world finally regains some normalcy. He’s been contracted as an official engineer for the duke after his contributions to city defense and restoration. Now Ryoma embarks on a journey bound for the Sea of Trees of Syrus to fulfill one of his lifelong goals. As he completes quest after quest to raise his adventurer rank in preparation, he reunites with Reinbach by coincidence...and meets a couple of Reinbach’s old friends. New magic and equipment come into play in this chapter of Ryoma’s laidback adventure!
