In Episode 2 of "Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu" Season 2, the focus shifts away from Makoto and her companions to the stories of two other heroes from Makoto's world. The spotlight is on Otonashi Hibiki and Iwahashi Tomoki, who recount their summoning to a new world and their first experiences there.

Otonashi Hibiki, a student at Makoto's school, comes from a wealthy family and is known for her skills and calculating nature. Yet, she feels underchallenged and bored in her life. The goddess summons her to a new world and offers her the chance to become a hero and face real challenges. Unaware that Makoto is in this world, Hibiki finds herself in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Limia with a wolf companion.

Hibiki's hero party includes Navarre, a grim ogre swordswoman, Woody, a powerful mage, a strong blond knight, and Chiya, a talented priestess who joins the group after being rescued by them. Hibiki's first combat experience is a challenge, especially when she faces a group of kobolds. Despite her hesitation and emotional struggle, she perseveres and leads her group to victory, though Navarre comforts her after the battle.

Hibiki and her group excel in subsequent battles until they suffer a crushing defeat against the Spider Calamity, also known as Mio. After this encounter, Hibiki, surrounded by her injured party members, resolves to grow stronger to avoid such defeats in the future.

The episode then introduces the second hero, Iwahashi Tomoki, a middle school student who is bullied by girls due to his delicate appearance yet remains popular. Dissatisfied with his life and yearning for change, the goddess offers him a new life as a hero in another world. Along with physical and magical enhancements, Tomoki receives a magical eye that can charm others.

Tomoki's arrival in the new world is marked by his meeting with Lily Front Gritonia, the second princess of the Kingdom of Gritonia. He also encounters the knight Guinevere, the alchemist Yukinatsu, and the dragon tamer Mora. All three women fall under the influence of his magical eye and are motivated to join his group.

Princess Lily, who intends to use Tomoki for her own purposes, avoids the effect of his magical eye and plans to keep him under her control. She immediately takes measures to secure her influence over him, reflecting her determination to defeat the demons and her belief in the goddess's arbitrariness.
