## Differences from Light Novel

* In the Light Novel, Hajime consoles Aiko at the Cenotaph of Brave Souls, after he and his companions return to the kingdom following Kaori's revival. In the Anime, it is on top the Divine Mountain while Kaori is still in the process of being revived.
* In the Light Novel, Kouki is sparring with Kuzeli Reil. In the Anime, he is sparring with Shizuku.
* In the Light Novel, Kaori has Noint's voice and eye color when she possess her body. In the Anime, Kaori retains her original voice and eye color.
* In the Light Novel, Kaori attempts several times to convince Shizuku of who she is before she recognizes her. In the Anime, Shizuku immediately recognizes Kaori due to her voice.
* In the Light Novel, after Hajime's group returns to the kingdom, they and the other students relocate from the training grounds to the dining hall before he reveals the truth about the gods of Tortus to his classmates. In the Anime, they remain in the training grounds during the revelation.
* The Anime omits Liliana attempting to convince Hajime to remain in the kingdom in order to defend it, followed by requesting him to lend her his satellite weapon "*Hyperion*" that created the pillar of light that wiped out Freid's monster army.
* Yue revealing to Kaori of Hajime's plan to use his classmates as meat shields against the gods does not occur in the Light Novel.
* The Anime omits Hajime, Yue and Shizuku's trip to the Adventurer's Guild in the kingdom, followed by Hajime repairing the kingdom's barrier artifact and subsequently being chased by the kingdom's royal craftsmen in their attempts to get Hajime to teach them his skills after seeing him repair the artifact.
* The Anime omits Hajime being confronted by Liliana's younger brother Lundel over Kaori's new appearance.
* The Anime omits Kaori's comment to Hajime after Tio requests that he reward her for previously guarding Aiko, by ramming his pile bunker stake up her rear.
* The Anime omits Hajime sending his pile bunker stake back into his "*Treasure Trove*" after seeing Tio terrified, followed by once more asking her what she wants for a reward, to which Tio requests being able to sleep beside him that night, and Hajime agrees.
