Judas, an old man, defeated the Demon Lord in place of the Hero.

However, the King declared that the Hero was the one who should defeat the Demon Lord, and my achievements were stolen. Not only that, but I was branded a traitor for fleeing in the face of the enemy and expelled from the Hero's party.

I received my severance pay, changed my name to 【Jude】, and was living an ordinary life as a commoner in a frontier town.

However, I found myself pursued by former members of the Hero's party trying to bring me back, while princesses from other nations competed for me to join them.

As I prefer this life over honor, I reject all those offers and fully enjoy my ordinary life.

"A wyvern seemed to be heading for the village, so I just threw a rock and took it down."

"But that's an A-rank monster! Jude-san, just who are you!?"

Thanks to the abilities he cultivated during his time in the Hero's party, he's a little stronger than everyone else. The 【ordinary】 rural life of a former hero now begins.
