Alpha Manga is releasing the manga adaptation digitally, and it describes the story:
One day, Kurt, a kind-hearted boy, is suddenly kicked out of the Hero's Party for being "useless". He finds that his aptitude for weapons, magic, and all other combat-related skills is the lowest rank, so he takes odd-jobs repairing the castle walls and digging for minerals to make a living, where his exceptional abilities are immediately revealed. He proves to be skillful in cooking, building, mining, crafting magical tools--in fact, his aptitude for every skill unrelated to combat had an SSS-ranking! Kurt, however, seems completely unaware to his talent and ends up saving people, the town, and even the country through his unaware actions!?
AlphaPolis published the first novel volume in March 2019, and published the 11th volume on March 19. Zounose illustrates the novel series.
Naharu Furukawa launched the manga adaptation on AlphaPolis' website in December 2019. The manga's eighth compiled book volume released on March 17.
