Synopsis
Hero returns to fantasy world to build harem after being forcibly sent back to Earth post-demon king defeat.
Once, a hero was summoned to a different world in order to defeat the demon king. After the war stretching 3 years ended, the commendable hero slayed the demon king, and he was forcibly deported back to earth after being dismissed. "Give me a break! Elves in addition to beast race, dwarfs and demon race. Even though I wanted to make a harem in the different world I saved! My dream will not come true on earth, where there is no magic at all." Thus, the hero returns on his own. Without the blunder of being extradited to earth this time, he will build a harem of his own in a different world. (Source: Shousetsuka ni Narou, translated)
