"You must be Grand Sword Saint Takumi-sama, the master of Sword Saint Alice-sama, correct?"

"Huh? No, you've got the wrong person, haven't you?"

After receiving notice that I was no longer needed and being expelled from my party, I retired as an adventurer and was living a peaceful, solitary life in the mountains.

But somehow, my disciple became the strongest in humanity, and I, her master, am rumored to be the strongest in the universe, even becoming the number one ranked adventurer.

Misunderstood, aspiring disciples, dragons, and even heroes and demon lords, all start showing up one after another at my door.

No, please stop.

I'm just a nobody, you know?

This isn't a story where I actually become the strongest in the universe or anything like that.

It's simply a tragedy — or rather, a comedy — about constantly being misunderstood while getting entangled with non-human beings.
