comment
Applied Phlebotinum: Magic works similarly to electricity, as appliances in Raul's world run on it. In episode 2, his neighbor is seen recharging a power box. Later on, Visor uses magic to analyze what caused the hair dryer Fino used to accidentally blow up. Since she's the equivalent of a turbine generator, she continually overloads all devices she uses before Lamdimia Do Aximemor teaches her how to control her magic.

Scenery Censor: While a Censor Box is used when Raul first wakes up to see a naked Fino sleeping next to him in episode 7, after he gets up, the camera angle changes. Some furniture conveniently hides her chest while Raul throws a blanket on her to cover up her nudity. Of course, all that was removed for the BD release.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Fino is covered in some sticky white goo after she turns off the malfunctioning appliance in episode 3. And again when she runs into a Magic Eater and overwhelms it with her magic. Strangely, the same doesn't happen when she makes a TON of them blow up at the same time.

Tempting Fate: In episode 5, while exploring the new store, Raul mentions that due to the sheer size, he and Fino probably wouldn't get recognized. He thinks this while standing really close to Airi (both don't see each other though), and shortly before Elsa pats him on the back after seeing him.

Engineered Heroics: Raul's former classmates are trying to make Fino the demon lord, so they can become heroes. Pretty much the Hero's Guild M.O., as they formed a pact with the demon world so that the world would always need heroes - no hero would be allowed to kill the current demon lord, so that demons would keep following the Always Chaotic Evil handbooks.

Chekhov's Gun: The magic eater Raul and Fino encounter at one house in episode 6 plays a big role in episode 7 at a different person's house. Lore utilizes this knowledge to help the latter customers with their magic power supply problems. The weird relic Fino gives Raul in episode 9 ends up saving him in episode 11 during his fight with Airi. She survives his attack due to him using a ruler rather than a sword, and he survived because the relic Fino gave him took the brunt of Airi's attack.

Oblivious to Love: Raul has this in spades. Especially egregious in the OVA, when Airi and Elza are having a duel/argument about it during a mock battle, and he tells the two to calm down. Lamdimia gets quite upset at his denseness and supercharges the washer machine to create a huge tidal wave at him.

Limited Wardrobe: Played straight for the most part, as most characters are usually only seen in their work uniform, and usually just one civilian clothing set. While Lore has the same uniform as the other Leon female employees, she's usually only seen in mechanic coveralls, with the normal uniform only showing up rarely, aside from the opening and ending credits.

A True Hero: This trope is the plot's Central Theme, taking place in the years after a war against a Demon Lord came to an end, leaving thousands of Heroes out of a job, including the protagonist Raul. Raul gets a job at a department store and tries to eek out a modest but unfulfilling life. However, several of Raul's fellow former Heroes can't cope with a world that has no need for Heroes and try to reignite the war so that they can be Heroes again. They try to sway Raul to their side, but he refuses, saying that their goals are what true Heroes should fight for.

Love Epiphany: Both Raul and Fino have these moments in episode 9. For Fino, it's after Raul saves her from getting hit by a passing wagon. For Raul, it's after Fino gets a nice dress, hugs him, and thanks him for all the help he's given her since she's come to the human lands.

You Shall Not Pass!: Lamdimia and Airi do this in episode 12, holding off a rather sizable force of monsters while Raul goes to rescue Fino. Seara and Elza do this to Raid during the same episode, preventing him from doing anything to stop Raul from rescuing Fino. It turns out Raid thought he was also doing this trope, preventing Seara from helping with the rescue, but Seara was confident Raul could handle it himself.

Schizo Tech: Swords and sorcery appear right next to rice cookers and microwave ovens. There's no municipal power, but there's convenience stores all over. Hot weather comes from salamanders but cool air comes from a/c units. Raul's world appears to have skipped the vacuum tube and gone straight to transistors. It's a post-war economy, but with post-bubble fashion. Exactly what time period is this metaphor based on?

Explosive Overclocking: Magical items can produce spectacular effects if fed too much magic power, such as a washing machine generating a tsunami in the OVA, but they may explode or go berserk. Demons attempting to use magical items are especially prone to causing this, as happened to Fino and Lamdimia Do Aximemor until she learned to control it.

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Raul does this to Fino in episode 12 to keep the latter from becoming the next demon lord. He brings her back by reminding her about things she learned about the job, such as the lines she learned to say to customers back in episode 2, along with the first special order form she wrote for a customer, which she had been very excited about.

She's also told that Raul was originally going to be a hero, but had to take up a job at Leon because he had nowhere else to go. She is then shown a picture of Raul when he was a hero in training, which further erodes her resistance.

Central Theme: Is heroism about fighting evil or stopping evil? Due to the Demon Lord's death, the majority of heroes have lost all purpose. The biggest threat in the series becomes groups of heroes trying to reignite the war and bring back the Demon Lord all just to have a purpose again. And so to restate the question: is heroism about fighting evil or stopping it?

Cannot Spit It Out: Several of the girls who are in love with Raul, such as Airi and Elza. Elza finally averts it in the OVA, and gets into a fight with Airi over it, but Raul being Raul, he misinterprets it entirely, and earns the ire of all of the girls present, including Lamdimia.

Undressing the Unconscious: When Fino knocks herself out via a strong water blast from a humidifier, Raul hurries to take off her wet clothes while she's still unconscious, since at that point he still thought she was a guy and he didn't want her to get a cold. He notices he's actually a girl as soon as he unzips her shirt to reveal she had a Hidden Buxom. She wakes up soon after and has a Naked Freak-Out.

The Reveal
 I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: The Hero's Guild has been playing all of humanity for suckers; ever since the human world underwent a magical industrial revolution, defeating the Demon Lord with Magitek would have been a Curb-Stomp Battle. However, that would have left the Hero's Guild without the respect and influence it got from constantly defending humanity from the demons... so they began protecting the Demon Lords to prevent the war from ending. Eventually, an independent assassin killed the Demon Lord on her own with said magitek, and now the jobless Heroes want to torture the Demon Lord's daughter into inheriting the throne and restarting the war. Once Raul discovers that his original dream was just a farce for the Heroes to perpetuate a Forever War for prestige and power, he loses it and beats one of his classmates into the hospital with a school ruler. Lamdimia is from the demon world just like Fino, but we don't find out until around episodes 10 and 11. That said, it was strongly implied on a few occasions throughout Episode 4, and other small hints (Cute Little Fangs, red eyes, Explosive Overclocking) were occasionally dropped in the following episodes leading up to the actual reveal.

The first is Fino getting him a cellphone strap made of hair from a hero that died trying to take down the demon lord, although Played for Laughs. The second, more serious incident occurs when Fino is attacked by Raul's former classmates, who never had the chance to fight off the demon lord.

However, he refuses the offer, and inadvertently triggers an economic war between the two stores. Happens to Fino in episode 10. Several people are working behind the scenes in an attempt to force her to become the new demon lord so that weapon and armor makers could have a job again, along with those who were training to be heroes, such as Raul and Airi.

Awesome by Analysis: Lore is able to figure out what was wrong with the customer's power shortage problem in episode 7 based on a few things they observe. She then draws an elaborate magic/electronic chart to lure the magic eaters out and eliminate them. The customers are so happy by the effort she put in with Fino's help that they decide to keep Leon's air conditioner rather than Amada's, despite having to pay a cancellation fee and Leon's air conditioner costing more.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: An old lady ends up doing this in episode 7. She orders an air conditioner from Leon because Raul helped her choose one back in episode 5. Unfortunately her adult son ordered one as well, but from Amada. They will have to pay a cancellation fee for one of the stores, and Amada's price is lower than what Leon's, which spells trouble for Raul's store. Fortunately he, Lore, and Fino help fix the magic draining problem they had in their house. Because of that, the son reconsiders his purchase, and decides to buy Leon's AC instead, while happily paying Amada's cancellation fee. Raul scolds Elza a little in episode 10 after finding out Fino was special ordering items through a mail catalog. A lot of items, which Fino also didn't realize she'd have to pay for at some point. Elza then runs off claiming she needs to attend to her store.

 I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job / int_82d2715f
comment
The Hero's Guild has been playing all of humanity for suckers; ever since the human world underwent a magical industrial revolution, defeating the Demon Lord with Magitek would have been a Curb-Stomp Battle. However, that would have left the Hero's Guild without the respect and influence it got from constantly defending humanity from the demons... so they began protecting the Demon Lords to prevent the war from ending. Eventually, an independent assassin killed the Demon Lord on her own with said magitek, and now the jobless Heroes want to torture the Demon Lord's daughter into inheriting the throne and restarting the war. Once Raul discovers that his original dream was just a farce for the Heroes to perpetuate a Forever War for prestige and power, he loses it and beats one of his classmates into the hospital with a school ruler.

Walking Techbane: Fino. At first, every magical device she tries to use fails spectacularly the instant she touches it. Episode 1, she explodes a microwave. Episode 2, she overloads a hair dryer. Episode 3, her attempt to turn on an air purifier results in it growing tentacles and attacking. But in episode 4, Lamdimia teaches Fino how to avoid frying devices.

Formula with a Twist: This series asks: what happens to all the other Heroes in the world after a Demon King is defeated? Raul is one of the thousands of Heroes who don't know what to do after the war against the Demon King suddenly comes to an end. He thus starts to work at a department store, where he's later joined by the Demon King's daughter as well as others from his past. However, many Heroes never really coped with losing their purpose in life and have become antagonists seeking to ignite a new war.

Didn't Think This Through: In episode 9, Fino spends all of her paycheck on various things, telling Raul that she was paying attention to her budget and not spending more than she had. He then asks her how she plans to survive until the next payday, and her face/mood changes when she realizes the situation she just put herself in.

Wham Episode: In episode 5, Amada, a larger chain store than Leon opens up nearby, potentially giving Raul's store some competition. Two corporate members of Leon goes to Seara and tells them that if Amada takes up too much of their business, they may be forced to close the store. Raul also finds out at the end that Airi has started working there as well, although the credits roll before their reactions can be seen. After the credits roll in episode 8, the Amada store manager is in a meeting with his boss, who's disappointed that Leon is still doing rather well despite the competition. Then a man who worked for the last demon lord appears from the shadows, stating he tried to do things behind the scenes, but will take a more active approach. He then shows up on screen, and says that shutting down Leon is what's best for Fino. Fino is attacked by at least two men at the end of episode 9, and she suspects they were heroes who are out of a job because of the lack of threat from a demon lord. She then asks Raul if she should succeed her father so that they'd have something to do, as well as put weapon and armorsmiths back to work. Raul finds out in episode 10 that the attackers were his two friends from the hero academy. Both of them wanted Fino to become the demon lord so they could become heroes and have a purpose in life again. He doesn't take it well, so they kidnap Fino, and show her a picture which shows them along with Airi and Raul when they were training to be heroes.

Children Are Innocent: Raul's little sister Miuri believes that Raul really did become a hero in the OVA and goes to visit him. Since he's unwilling to tell her the actual truth, his coworkers all devise a corny (and fanservice-overloaded) plot to show him off as being a hero. In the end, her belief in him helps him to defeat an actual vicious monster that Fino accidentally brought instead of a normal one.

Once that path is cut short, he isn't able to find a job where his considerable fighting skills are seen as a plus, and he doesn't have any practical business skills, forcing him to settle for an entry-level position.

Its only after she gets wet, and he tries to take off her wet clothing that he finds out, but this was because he didn't read her resume beyond seeing that the Demon Lord was her father. Seara had already referred to Fino multiple times using female pronouns by that point.

Mood Whiplash: In episode 9, Raul spends the day taking Fino shopping. For the most part it's pretty mundane, but then two things occur at the end. The first is Fino getting him a cellphone strap made of hair from a hero that died trying to take down the demon lord, although Played for Laughs. The second, more serious incident occurs when Fino is attacked by Raul's former classmates, who never had the chance to fight off the demon lord. In episode 10, Fino is kidnapped, and told to become the new demon lord, so that people who are out of a job, particularly heroes, could find work again. When she refuses to believe Raul was training to be one, a picture is shown of him back when he was training. As she looks at the picture in shock, the cheerful ending song starts to play.

Berserk Button: Lamdimia Do Aximemor absolutely hates it when people shorten her long name. Airi is not to fond of being called 'All A', because she thinks it refers to her bust as well as her name and grades.

Lamdimia is from the demon world just like Fino, but we don't find out until around episodes 10 and 11. That said, it was strongly implied on a few occasions throughout Episode 4, and other small hints (Cute Little Fangs, red eyes, Explosive Overclocking) were occasionally dropped in the following episodes leading up to the actual reveal.

Insane Troll Logic: Fino tends to operate on this at times, such as putting up a poison swamp in front of the store to "attract" customers in episode 5. Later she mentions putting up a sacrificial altar in their store. Seara for whatever reason agrees with it, especially when Fino says it's okay to sacrifice Visor, the assistant manager.

 I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In the first episode, a dragon carries a wagon that looks suspiciously like the Enterprise from Star Trek. If that wasn't obvious enough, it also has "NCC-1701" painted on the side, and the man riding it looks a lot like a Captain Jean Luc-Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He even has a Leitmotif that suspiciously sounds like the Next Generation's opening. Later in episode 12, he also mentions escaping a monster attack at "warp 7", another reference to the series. Casting Gag: Played by Mugihito, who did Picard's voice in the Japanese dub of Star Trek: TNG. Episode 3 features the Witch arms from ReZero.

He begins to see his job in a new light as a result of what she just said, as he just saw it as a paycheck to survive on up till that point.

And yet again in her mock battle with Raul in the OVA, where her armor is destroyed almost immediately, revealing her clothes underneath to be tight and fairly transparent. In the course of the fight, even this revealing outfit gets destroyed as well, earning Raul a tight slap. In the OVA, all of the girls' clothing gets dissolved inside the plant monster.

And in episode 8, after Lamdimia asks if Raul likes Airi, he states that she was just a classmate of his. He earns a kick from Airi as a result. Elza also displays elements of this in Episode 5 when she sees Raul at Amada, and he mentions that he is there with Fino. Elza comments that Raul has never gone out with her even though she has asked him many times, but this time he was going out with Fino, and also mentions that it is normal for a man to go for the new girl.

Distracted by the Sexy: Raul in episode 4 towards Nova, when the latter says she doesn't mind it when the Dirty Old Man cops a feel on her butt. She then asks if he'd like to do it, but Visor wisely advises him against it, lest a sexual harassment lawsuit hits them. However, he starts noticing how sexy Nova looks afterwards, which frustrates him as he can't concentrate on making signs for the store with her leaning up so close to him.

Bad "Bad Acting": Several of the characters in the OVA, especially Fino, who's supposed to act as the Big Bad but keeps flubbing her lines.

Easily Forgiven: Interestingly, Nova doesn't seem to care too much about being sexually harassed by the Dirty Old Man who often visits their store to purchase one light bulb. Lamdimia, on the other hand, punishes him when he touches her inappropriately, albeit offscreen.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Raid wonders why Raul is against a new demon lord appearing, because it would mean heroes would be needed once more, and the demons would have a unifying force to rally behind. Raul is against it because of the lies he was told about the hero system of maintaining a demon lord to prop up a Forever War instead of finding a peaceful solution to the demon-human conflict.

Forever War: An implied one between humans and demons, hence the need for the hero system in the first place. Blaze reveals that there was an agreement that heroes would defeat but not kill demon lords, as there were advantages for both demons and humans. Blaze and Klein are now trying to get Fino to become the next demon lord and restart the war.

Comically Missing the Point: In episode 5, Seara tells Raul and Fino to go undercover when they visit the Amada store. When they tell Fino that it means dressing up in a way that they wouldn't be immediately identified as Leon employees, she gets a suit of armor that makes her look like a stone golem. Raul immediately points out that if she did wear that, she'd be arrested long before they even got to the store.

Beware the Nice Ones: Klein and Raid find this out the hard way in episode 11. Both attempt to attack Leon's employees, but Seara stops them both, with nothing more than a calculator, as well as some home appliances.

Evil Is Hammy: The way Fino talks at times comes off this way, especially when she does her Evil Laugh. She has to learn not to talk like this in her new job, as it disturbs customers. Several of the characters who are playing bad guys in the OVA. Raul notes that Lore in particular seems to be taking playing a bad guy a little too seriously.

Perpetual Poverty: When Raul eats at the cafe Elsa works at, she comments that he always orders the same thing every time. He mentions that he doesn't have much money to spend on food, so he just buys whatever is the cheapest. She later gives him some more food for free, telling him he should eat more vegetables.
