Handyman Saito has never been anyone special. All his life, he's had average grades, ordinary athletic skill, a commonplace job... But his unremarkable path takes a turn when he wakes up in another world. Here, warriors, wizards, and elves accompany him on quests delving deep into dungeons, and Saito realizes for the first time what it's like to be needed. After all, who other than the handyman could be trusted to open locked treasure chests or to repair his allies' equipment? Beginning with a simple "thank you," this is the story of an ordinary person's fulfilling life.

### Abilities

When he first appeared, his level was 17, and he was equipped with all kinds of companions' weapons and a short sword. His main skills are Advanced Handyman and Introductory Stiletto Close Combat. He didn't have the so-called cheat ability, and although he was reasonably good at sports and studies, he lived as an ordinary young man who could never be the best at anything in his former world. Using his dexterous hands and his experience and knowledge as a handyman, he supports his companions by unlocking doors, disarming traps, and repairing equipment.

Although he cannot use magic, he uses his excellent memory to memorize all of his spells, assisting the spellcasting of the Morlocks, who quickly forget spells, and making their allies' weapons more effective depending on the enemy's abilities. By exchanging it for a more powerful weapon, it gradually becomes an irreplaceable existence as an excellent support role. On the other hand, his combat power is almost non-existent, and he is often protected by his companions during battle, and sometimes gets caught up in enemy attacks and drags his feet.

2. Use your shield to protect Lafanpan from enemies.
3. Memorize spells to help Morlocks chant.

His special personality is his attentiveness, so he attracts people and sometimes makes men fall in love with him.

Although he sometimes thinks of himself as "*useless*", he is now an indispensable presence in the party.
