Volume 2 will be released on May 15, 2025.

A manga adaptation is currently serialized on the manga website 'Corona EX'.

Arsal, the hero who once defeated the Demon Lord, served the kingdom as a battle instructor, living peaceful days, but then—

“You, you’re plotting treason, aren’t you?” “Huh?”

After being falsely accused of a crime he knew nothing about, he was almost sentenced to death with the words, “You useless wretch! I shall execute you! Atone for your sins with your death!”

Naturally, he wasn't fond of the idea, so he simply rebelled.

How could mere humans, no matter how many of them ganged up, possibly defeat a hero who, with just four companions, scattered millions of the Demon Lord’s army? He achieved victory more easily than twisting a baby’s arm.

However, after serving for ten years, being told such unreasonable things angered him, so he decided to resign.

“Huh? Exile?” “Well, I don't really mind.”

“Oh, in that case, since it’s a company-initiated dismissal, I'll take four times the severance pay.”

“Huh? You don't like that?” “Hahahahaha, don't mess with me, I'll kill you, you know?” (Intimidating aura)

And so, he received a generous severance package, and while he was at it, took plenty of gold and treasures from the royal vault before leaving the country.

Now that he was free, he thought he might as well go see his old companions, who once helped him save the world.

And thus, his journey for a slow life begins.

Speaking of which, that idiotic prince who exiled him,

“You ungrateful wretch! You are to be exiled! I’ll make sure to spread the word among neighboring nations! You won’t find peace in any country!”

he said, but did he even realize that in other countries, Arsal was treated as a ‘final weapon,’ and that ‘they didn't attack because I was keeping them in check’?

No, he probably didn't realize it. What an idiot.

Well, even if the kingdom gets attacked by all the surrounding nations after I’m gone and gets destroyed, it's none of my business.

Even if they beg him to “come back” later, he wouldn't care anymore.

Now then, time to take it easy.

(There was a time when he thought that way.)
