The story is described as such on the novel’s announcement page (translated from Japanese):
Haruhi the Brave, we have found ourselves in the royal palace, where we have been asked by the king to defeat the evil Demon Lord… Wait a minute, what is this “world”? I thought we had accomplished our mission when Asahina-san’s magic exploded, but Nagato muttered, “Mission accomplished” and we were whisked off to outer space, then to a western movie, then to a mythical world. Who on Earth did this? Haruhi, just what is going through your mind now? This is the outlandish and bizarre thirteenth volume!
