Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

“Ugh, I’m going to live now!”

With a pure white light, the demon king’s seal was released after 5 years.

Seeing Lucia stretching on, Aerith felt an unknown sense of solace.

Contrary to the expectation that guilt and regret would come, she herself was surprisingly refreshing.

“therefore. Who are you?”

Lucia came down from the throne and faced Aerith.

Interesting eyes. Even just making eye contact, the feeling of intimidation was transmitted.

“Saint Aeris. For you, the Demon Lord, it would be enough to explain it like this.”

“Eh? Are you a virgin?”

Lucia muttered as if it was strange.

“Then it’s about belonging to that church… It’s strange. You guys are desperate to kill me.”

“It was.”

“But why did you release my seal? Have you ever come up with the confidence to kill me?”

Having said that, Lucia put a smile on her lips and showed hostility at the same time.

Long claws raised their pointy ends and made a squeaky sound.

A life so ominous that even ordinary people can feel it. Especially since it was Aerith with strong divine power, he had no choice but to be more sensitive to the contrasting energy.

“Fufu. Hopefully.”

Nevertheless, Aerith laughed as if it was insignificant.

He was fully accepting the life of the demon king Lucia, and was carefree even though her nails tickled her own neck.

It was not that he had lost his will or had any special measures.

There was simply no reason to be afraid.

There will be nothing but death here at Queek.

“The reason I came to you is the exact opposite.”

“Yes?”

“Unhappiness. malice. sadness. When you come out of the world again, you will surely be able to cut off all these sources.”

Aerith was still standing calmly.

It doesn’t matter if my limbs are torn in this place and I die.

No matter what form of death and suffering came, it must have been good now.

From the moment the Demon King’s seal was lifted, Aerith had already achieved her goal.

So she looked up at Lucia and smiled.

“Could you please get rid of all humans, including me?”

When the banquet to welcome Cael was in full swing at the Imperial Palace, darkness fell deep in the cathedral.

At this time, when the sound of footsteps of the believers as well as the visitors were already cut off,

jerk.

From somewhere, the sound of wet footsteps echoed inside the church.

jerk.

once. And once again.

Those footsteps echoed through the cathedral without stopping.

“who are you?”

Two paladins who were wary of such a stranger asked while pulling out their spears.

The guest, who came without notice, was not only wearing a robe, but was also completely obscured by darkness.

“I will ask you again. How did you get here?”

I’m sure all the doors will be locked at this time and access will be controlled.

Scream-

The paladins creaked their armor and took a stance.

It was then that he threatened the intruder by pointing the tip of the spear at the intruder’s neck.

Just before the Paladins went out to subdue, the intruder took off his robe’s hat.

“·······Saint?”

“Uh, uh…?”

The two of them made a bewildered sound and looked in disbelief.

Saint Aerith.

When they showed up, they reacted the same way Aerith had met while coming here.

delight and surprise. Aerith also responded with a smile to that expression that stayed somewhere.

“Kenil. Mr Max. How are you two doing?”

“Ah… well, I’m really glad that the saint was here… No, it was safe before that.”

“Look. I heard from the headmaster, but it must have been really okay…”

They removed their spears and thanked the goddess for this reunion.

Some believers already knew about her because Kael had already given the headteacher when Kael came.

But there was no difference between what I heard and what I saw.

Many of the believers here, including them, have seen her since she was born.

The relief I feel right now cannot be expressed in simple words.

That is why I had no choice but to raise my suspicions about her, who came alone at this time suspiciously.

“Have you come to see the headmaster?”

“iced coffee. Then we will guide you right away.”

“No, right now, more than that…”

Aerith pointed beyond the room guarded by the Paladins.

It was the room where Law was being treated.

“Can I come in here for a second?”

“yes? that······.”

“sorry. Lady. This place is currently closed. The headmaster said not to let anyone in.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Aerith smiled as if she didn’t know.

“Fufu. It’ll take a while though. It won’t take five minutes.”

“That’s… we want to do that, too, but nobody ever told us to.”

“Let’s go to the headmaster first. Why don’t you go and tell me in person?”

“Hmm…”

The two of them hurried their steps because they wanted to let others know that Aerith had arrived.

But she did not move on the spot.

Instead, he giggled and grabbed the hand of a paladin.

“Stand, saint!?”

“Why are you suddenly-”

“Ahaha.”

The sound of Aerith’s laughter that I’ve never heard in all my life.

Belatedly, the paladin felt ominous and tried to withdraw his hand, but it was already too late.

A divine power that was clear enough to be seen surrounded the two people’s bodies.

“Ugh! Dude, why the hell…?”

“Ughhh…”

“Sorry. Please sleep for a while.”

The power of the Paladins gradually loosened and their eyelids became heavy.

There are only six believers who have already passed out like this while coming this far.

Looking down at the two of them collapsing, Aerith sighed.

“Yeah, it was too improvised. If I go back, I will be scolded by Lucia.”

Originally, I had decided to do it after all of Kael’s revenge was over.

I’m sure you’ll hear it when you go back.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t go back now.”

Aerith smiled bitterly and passed the two lost paladins.

I unlocked the locked door with the key the paladin had and went inside.

profit-

With the sound of a hinge, a man in the room could be seen through them.

Lou is lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. Seeing his face, his severed arm throbbed.

“······I sleep well.”

Aerith nodded and moved closer.

It was covered by a blanket, but his right arm was clearly not visible.

It was proof that Lucia had fulfilled her promise.

“Who are you!?”

But even as she took two steps, Lowe woke up at that moment.

He got up from the bed and looked at Aerith.

“After all… a hero is a hero.”

Of course, that wouldn’t change anything.

Aerith closed and locked the door with words of admiration and ridicule.

And with a smile on her face, she took one step closer to him.

“Eh, Aerith?”

Lowe looked at her face, leaning on the moonlight penetrating the window.

She didn’t want to hide it either, so she didn’t wear a robe.

Still, he blinked in disbelief.

“Uh, why are you here?”

Qwajik-

She took the hatchet out of her arms and lowered Lowe’s right leg, which was still under the blanket, to take a picture.

There was no hesitation in that series of movements.

Even though it was the first time in her life that she had harmed a person, Aerith did not hesitate.

Rather, it was so natural that Lowe didn’t even think about avoiding it.

“aah!!”

Blood splattered quickly on the duvet.

No conversation was necessary for this reunion.

The hatchet, which was struck without notice, was soaked in Lowe’s blood.

“It’s also difficult with one hand. Awkward… Then once again…!

“Turn it off.”

As she raised the hatchet again to slash, Lowe hurriedly ran away in the opposite direction.

thud-

Lowe, who fell on the bed, still had an expression on his face that he did not understand English.

I couldn’t even tell why she was here, why she was attacking me, or whether this was a dream or reality.

But because of the burning pain in his leg, he had no choice but to run away.

Seeing that, Aerith chuckled and laughed.

“Aha. Where are you running away from?”

“Hey, hey, hey!”

It’s definitely a lady

It’s definitely the Aerith he knew.

That smile that followed me was terribly unfamiliar and frightening.

“Ahaha. be ugly Maybe I was like that when my arm was cut off?”

“Uh-huh. Oh, don’t come…”

“Oh? Be sad.”

Qwajik-

Lowe was about to get up, and he cut the ax down the other leg.

“Ahhh!!”

He screamed with tears and runny nose.

Still, no one came.

Only Aerith approached him as he fell, and crushed his right leg with his foot.

“Uh-huh!?”

“Fufu. Our devotees used to catch chickens like this.”

Qwajik-

“aah!!”

“Looking back, it looks like a frog has fallen over.”

Qwajik-

“Shhh. Turn it off!!”

“ah. But Lowe is a hero, right? Are you really a warrior who sells your teammates?”

“Huh. huh. Eh, Aerith, I’m sorry, let’s talk about it…”

“It would be disrespectful to chickens and frogs to compare them.”

Then Aerith released his leg.

But he was already tattered, and instead of getting up, his legs were just twitching at will.

Rather than being cut off, it was struck with an insignificant force, and the pain was terrible.

“Ouch. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh hehe

Roy let out a breath of pain.

But that didn’t give him a chance to be reassured.

“You know what? My specialty is sewing.”

“······What?”

“Fufu. Not long ago, I also attached an ankle that had been cut off.”

Having said that, Aerith breathed divine power into Law’s messed up legs.

The wound healed in an instant, and the torn part almost healed.

“ruler. So let’s start over again. we?”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah…”

Having said that, Aerith raised the hatchet high again.

Seeing this, Lowe tried to crawl in the opposite direction, but

“Huhu. Where?”

Qwajik-

“aah!!”

There was no end to the pain.

Only the sound of hitting with an axe and Lowe’s death rang out in the cathedral.

*

Having talked up to that point, Aerith paused for a moment and picked up a teacup.

hurricane.

After sipping the car, she looked at me.

widely-

With the sound of the teacup being put down, those eyes narrowly smiled.

“how about it? Isn’t it really fun?”
