Awakening, and Another World

Awakening, and Another World (目覚め、そして異世界) is the first episode of the In Another World With My Smartphone anime.

Plot
The episode begins with God explaining to Touya that he is dead due to him inadvertently dropping some lightning on him by mistake. He then explains that Touya would be resurrected in a new world due to the rule stating that he cannot be revived in the world he died in, though in exchange he will grant Touya one request as compensation for his mistake. Touya asks if he can carry his smartphone with which God agrees to do after also granting him an increase in his basic stats such as speed and memory.

Later Touya awakens in the new world under a tree before receiving a call from God concerning his smartphone. After disconnecting the call and walking a short distance Touya encounters Zanac Zenfield (the owner of a clothing store) who wished to purchase his school uniform (which he was still dressed in upon arriving in this world). After parting ways with Zanac, Touya encounters the Silhoueska twins on his way to the Silver Moon Inn who were in the middle of a argument with people over the price of a crystal antler they were hired to acquire. Intervening in the argument Touya offers to buy the antler off the two girls in exchange for one gold coin which they immediately agreed too.

After introducing themselves to each other Touya and the Silhoueska twins returned to the Silver Moon Inn (where the twins were staying and where Touya was headed before their encounter). The next day Touya and the girls traveled to the Adventurer Guild where they took a request to subjugate a pack of one horned wolves. After successfully accomplishing their task and receiving the reward Touya and the girls return to the Silver Moon Inn where Touya asks Elze and Linze to teach him to read and write (in their language) as well as how to use magicwhich surprises the twins.
