I lost my husband in an accident two years ago and became a single mother, and one day I was summoned to another world with my son. The humans who summoned us called my son a hero and wanted him to fight the resurrected Demon King. It’s ridiculous to have my son, who is in still his first year of junior high, fight against monsters!
Strongly opposing this, I was treated as an obstacle and left alone in a monster’s den. Though I was powerless and already resigned myself to death, it was the demons, who were supposed to be enemies of humans, who saved me. As I spent time together with them, my feelings for the demons grew, but peaceful days do not last long. The only weapons I had to resist against the numerous challenges that faced me were my cooking abilities and my quick wit.
"I won’t die until I meet my son!" Laboring away with this thought in mind, I had become one of the upper echelons of the demon king's army before I knew it.

1. Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi
Mukouda Tsuyoshi was nothing special in modern Japan, so when he was summoned to a world of swordplay and sorcery, he thought he was ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Too bad the kingdom that summoned him only got him by mistake! Not only was he not one of the three summoned heroes, but his stats were laughable compared to theirs.
On top of that, there's something really sketchy about this kingdom... "Ah, these people are the kind to try and use the Hero," he realized, and immediately left to make his own way in this other world. The only thing Mukouda can rely on is his unique skill: the "Online Supermarket," a skill that allows him to buy modern goods in a fantasy world. It's useless for combat, but if he plays his cards right, he could lead a comfortable life, maybe? At least, that's what Mukouda thinks, but it turns out modern food bought with this skill has some absurd effects!
What happens when Mukouda introduces ridiculously tasty modern cooking to a fantasy world like this? He gets some ridiculous repeat customers begging for more...!
