The protagonist, Kaede Yakumo, a seemingly ordinary high school student, finds herself inexplicably transported to a different world. Waking up in an alley, she discovers a strange, thick book in her backpack. This book reveals itself to be a guide to survival in this new world, detailing recipes for potions, weapons, and armor, and explaining the local currency system. Kaede quickly learns to craft basic potions using common weeds and rainwater, which she then sells to a local shopkeeper for 8 Tamils each. She uses this newfound income to secure lodging at a cheap inn for 10 Tamils a night.
Her initial goal is simply to survive and understand her situation. She diligently gathers more weeds and crafts potions, selling them to the same shopkeeper, gradually accumulating money. She learns about the world's economy and the value of items, realizing that even simple potions are essential for adventurers. Kaede also discovers the existence of a "Cocor Bag," a seemingly ordinary bag that can hold an immense amount of items, which she purchases with her earnings, further enhancing her ability to gather resources.
Driven by the desire for a more stable income and the possibility of creating more potent items like High Potions, Kaede learns about the Guild. She registers and obtains a Guild Card, which also serves as identification. She learns that to create High Potions, she needs specific ingredients: "Aogiri Grass" and "Pure Water." Pure Water requires a "Purification Stone," which is prohibitively expensive at 1000 Tamils. Aogiri Grass, however, can be found in the forest outside the city.
Kaede, accompanied by a powerful Dragon Hunter named Asul and his companion Serry, ventures to a river outside the city to gather Aogiri Grass and test her potion-making abilities. She discovers that her method of potion creation is unconventional, as Asul, who is resistant to normal potions, is significantly healed by hers. This revelation attracts the attention of the Dragon Hunters, who are seeking the creator of these potent potions. Asul, impressed by Kaede's unique abilities and the potential of her potions, offers to fund her acquisition of a Purification Stone and help her gather Aogiri Grass, recognizing the value of her skills, especially as he himself has a condition that makes him less responsive to standard healing.
This leads to Kaede creating a large quantity of High Potions, which are significantly more powerful than regular potions, capable of healing severe wounds. Asul, who is part of a Dragon Hunter group preparing to depart for the capital city, offers Kaede a place on their carriage to the capital, seeing her potential to contribute to a larger market and potentially earn more. He also reveals that the Dragon Hunters are going to hunt a dragon that attacked a city called Akarutkar, whose egg was broken by treasure hunters.
Upon arriving in the capital, Kaede is overwhelmed by its size and diversity of races. She is taken in by a kind Dragon Hunter leader named Ice, who offers her lodging and support. Kaede learns that her unique potion-making ability is highly valued and that she could potentially earn a substantial reward for her contributions to the Dragon Hunters' mission. She also learns about the possibility of buying a house in the capital, a long-held dream.
During her stay, Kaede continues to refine her potion-making skills and learns about the world's various races and social structures. She also discovers the existence of "Crystal Stones," which can be used to create elemental effects, and begins to gather materials for them. The narrative culminates with Kaede facing a dragon attack on the capital, where her use of a powerful Lightning Crystal Stone plays a crucial role in its defeat. This act solidifies her reputation and leads to a significant reward, further solidifying her path in this new world.
