Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

On the day he sealed the Demon King, he had an intuition that he could not return to the original world.

Even after reaching the ending of the novel, I could not return to the original world, and I was still in the body of the hero Kael.

In the end, I decided to adapt and accept this life.

At the time, things weren’t too bad.

Honor and wealth were guaranteed until death, and there were connections that were more valuable than any treasure.

The place I would return to in the future was the Empire, and my colleagues I had been with for many years were all I had.

He believed that this was the end of this possession.

Yes, I believed so.

– Cael. You’ve been through a lot so far

But, am I the only one who thought so?

Five years ago, that sharp word from Aurelia cut the bond between us.

Her tone and attitude towards me was very light, as if my feelings were not part of the job, and when I entered the party, she would forget everything about me.

The only thing she had recovered was the holy sword, but she had the illusion that everything was stolen.

The only thing left was a bag of gold coins in his hand, and seeing it burst into laughter.

-what’s the matter? Even if I want to say more…

-done. Do whatever you want, and don’t appear before me again.

Any further conversation was pointless.

My co-workers thought it was me, not them.

At the time, I thought there was no reason for me to stay here anymore.

“But I will come here again.”

But now, I have returned to the place where I was betrayed by my colleagues that day.

Serin and I arrived here wearing robes,

As I looked up at the imperial palace in front of me, the memories of that day came to my mind.

So he pulled Serin’s ball next to him.

“Lord, lord?”

“It’s just… I’m a little bit nervous.”

“Suddenly!?”

Serin fluttered and resisted, but to no avail.

Pretty things are pretty, but forgiving things are forgiving. What’s funny again?

I stretched out my cheeks that stretch like glutinous rice cakes.

“Ugh, ahhh.”

Serin is pulled in the pulling direction with a crying sound.

By the way, he has a soft stomach and is soft wherever he touches it.

I let her go before her cheeks turned red, and I stroked the area with the back of my hand.

Serin seemed offended, but when she took it off, she raised her claws and begged for more.

“Hehehe.”

After calming Serin in moderation, she looked at the Imperial Palace again.

“haha······.”

As soon as I entered, I smiled bitterly.

The place where he started and ended as the hero Kael. But the ending wasn’t pretty.

He was skeptical of the possessed life and was drenched in a sense of despair and helplessness.

So I thought I wouldn’t be coming here anymore.

“Do not worry.”

When I was just watching, caught in an unknown emotion, I heard Serin’s voice.

I turned around and she looked up at me and smiled faintly.

“No matter what, I’m on your side now.”

After saying that, Serin’s two hands caressed my hand and wrapped it around me.

Perhaps he was even concerned about the way I was standing without a word, the eyes looking up at me were wet with remorse and guilt.

“Yeah, thanks for the words.”

“Oh, no. It’s not just words…”

chin-

put his hand on her head.

I stroked her hair, feeling the rough texture of the robe.

“Let’s go, Aurelia will be waiting for you.”

Serin nodded her head at my words.

“yes. Let’s end this party quickly and lock ourselves in our room!”

“That’s really your kind of remark.”

“Heh. Then we lie in bed together and eat sweets.”

Serin clenched her fists small and gave a fluttering expression.

After all, no matter how much you decorate, Serine is Serine. Still, those sarcastic words sound pretty good.

Serin and I followed the nobles participating in the party to the entrance of the Imperial Palace.

And that was when I was going to show the invitations to the knights.

“Fufu, you two are still good friends.”

Mary’s voice intervened at just the right time to spy anywhere.

again and again.

She appeared without warning and showed off her presence here with the sound of hooves.

The knights were behind her, and the bright red dress caught the attention of men.

Receiving greetings from nobles and knights, she approached us leisurely.

“I’m jealous. I also want to try something like this with you, Kael.”

“merry······.”

As Mary stood in front of us, all eyes were on us.

As she, the archmage and hero, had a friendly conversation with strangers clad in shabby robes, unpleasant gossips were heard everywhere.

“Cael, you said that Aurelia told you to bring her away. I guess I’ll introduce myself.”

“Oh, is it?”

Come on now and do something nonsensical.

Even if I answered with anger, she giggled and started to guide me.

“Well then, the main character is this way… But Serin, I’m sorry, what should I do?”

But Serin, who was next to me, was stopped by the knights.

Serin stared at the knights blocking her path.

But they still stayed there.

“what are you doing. Aren’t you moving right now?”

“Even if you say that, Serene. Cael was the only person Aurelia asked to bring her with sincerity. Will you come over there with the other nobles?”

Saying so, Mary pointed to the entrance to the nobles.

Well, originally, it would be right for me to go there, including myself.

Serin didn’t seem willing to accept that at all.

She took a step forward and confronted Mary.

“Hey, am I crazy? I know what you will do to the master while I am away!”

“I think you’re misunderstanding something, Serin. Originally, you had no intention of inviting me. If you don’t want to be kicked out, why don’t you go quietly?”

“No, I will protect you by your side. So you better stop thinking weird!”

“Hey, who is protecting whom? Ande also catches the Demon King by himself. and Serene. Aren’t you ashamed of being a master at that age?”

“Not at all, are you really jealous right now? merry.”

“What?”

“Hey, you’re not even forgiven by your master, and you can’t even touch me like this!”

After saying that, Serin held my hand tightly again and looked up proudly.

At the same time, Mary’s smile was twisted to the max, and Serin saw it and shed a victor’s smile.

No, by the way, why did the story suddenly jump this way?

“······· Serine. Yes, you. You don’t know what kind of situation you’re in right now?”

But for a while, Mary’s mood suddenly changed.

Her narrow eyes turned to the flower pins on Serin’s head.

“Fufu, if I put my mind to it, I’ll be like you right now……”

“merry.”

When I called her name, both eyes turned to me at the same time.

I covered Mary’s gaze from Serin and continued.

“Let Serene come with me.”

“I’m sorry, Cael, but that’s up to me to decide-”

“merry. Can’t you hear me?”

jerk.

As I took a step closer, she shuddered.

The knights were wary of me, but I ignored them and warned her in her ear.

“It sounds like it’s in moderation. No more crossing the line.”

“·················ogue.”

A small warning, one quick glance, so I’m sure you’ll understand.

As I walked away from Mary, I saw her stern smile.

“Besides, people are staring. Are you going to ruin the party before it even starts?”

At that moment, the two of them looked around.

Nobles and knights, as well as passersby, were snooping around wondering what was going on.

The two of them weren’t like that, especially Serin, who was raising her voice without realizing it.

Mary smiled several times with an unfamiliar expression on her face and sighed as if she had lost in the end.

“Whoa, what’s good? Kael, Aurelia wouldn’t say anything about you.”

“Okay, so let me guide you.”

After giving up on my words, Mary eventually started guiding us.

Turning to the side, Serin also seemed to be satisfied with her excitement.

And then, he looked up at me with a moved face.

Okay, if you know, will you let go of this hand now? I’m wet from your sweat.

“Follow. I will guide you to the waiting room.”

After saying that, Mary took the two of us inside.

The nobles around us were busy talking about us being invited separately, but it didn’t matter.

Your gaze has been drawn to me for a long time, and besides, there will be no need to hide your identity soon.

“Then I hope you enjoy the party, Kael. And you, Serene.”

Enter the Imperial Palace and go through the corridor,

Upon entering the waiting room, Mary left with a suspicious smile.

Serin and I were the only two left in the room for a while.

The party is divided into Part 1 and Part 2 as stated in the invitation, and they plan to have me appear at the beginning of Part 2.

Well, that would be the best time to maximize the directing.

Of course, whether or not I’ll do what you guys want is another matter.

“Master! It seems to be starting soon.”

Serin, who had her ears pricked up, looked at me and whispered.

Surely the banquet was about to start soon, there was an intermittent sound of laughter along with the sound of beautiful music from beyond the door.

······· Come to think of it, it was like this on the day I left the Imperial Palace.

A party held at the Imperial Palace to commemorate the sealing of the Demon King.

Even then, sweet food and sweet music that stimulate the sense of smell. There, I still remember the voices of people who betrayed me and talked about me.

And at the heart of it is clearly-

“Fufu, it’s been a while.”

That was when I thought about it.

With the sound of the door opening, someone came in, and a familiar voice was heard.

“I miss you. Kael.”

There was no need to turn my head to check.

Although I had not heard and forgot for a long time, my brain was terribly forgetful.

The voice of a colleague who has been traveling with me for many years and who betrayed me 5 years ago.

“…Aurelia.”

Princess of the Empire, Aurelia.

The owner of that voice was right in front of me right now.
