The protagonist, who had lost a leg during his days as a rookie adventurer, withdrew to his super rural hometown. There, he lived a life where it was hard to tell if he was an adventurer or a handyman, gathering medicinal herbs, subduing magical beasts and wild animals, and helping with farm work. Before he knew it, he was almost thirty.

One day, while gathering medicinal herbs in the mountains, he found an abandoned child. Unable to leave them, he took them in and raised them, and before he knew it, he was almost forty.

Perhaps influenced by growing up watching her father, his now fully grown daughter also expressed a desire to become an adventurer. He had taught her sword fighting from a young age for self-defense, and indeed, she showed considerable aptitude. Feeling it would be a pity to let her talents stagnate in such a rural area, the protagonist sent his daughter to the adventurer's guild in the capital.

His daughter successfully became an adventurer.

Five years passed like this. The protagonist, now over forty, remained an adventurer-wannabe in the countryside. But his daughter had become one of the guild's leading S-rank adventurers and rarely came home...

“When on earth will I finally get to see my dad again…!”
