"I'm done being a hero," I declared, leaving my comrades behind to begin a quiet retirement in a village deep in the mountains.

Away from a life of fighting the Demon Lord, I tilled fields, socialized with the villagers, and enriched my life.

Just as my life finally began to stabilize, a woman came to visit.

"My name is Isbell, the Demon Lord... wait, you! The Hero?!" "The Demon Lord!?" Standing before me was my sworn enemy, the Demon Lord.

According to her, she had also come to retire.

From then on, a peculiar retired life for me and the Demon Lord began.

"You're not putting your back into it." "Shut up! I've never done farm work before!"

...It was off to an uneasy start.
