Summary of Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki

After his grandfather's death, Kazuya Souma, 19, a budding civil servant, remains alone and has no one to name his family. As if out of nowhere he is transported to the Kingdom of Elfrieden, a sick little country in another world, to be a "hero". An ongoing war with the demon army has put the whole world in danger and Kazuya has been called as an offering from Elfrieden to her allies to help in the conflict. Unhappy to be used as a tribute, Kazuya decides to help the kingdom revive its ailing economy, not through adventure or war, but through administrative reforms. Suddenly declared King of Elfrieden and promised to the princess, the "royal hero" Kazuya sets out to assemble a group of talented citizens who will help him in his bureaucratic struggles to get the kingdom running again.
