Tseirp: On a side note, hope you guys will enjoy this chapter! It’s almost two times longer than usual and I added a few screens of the manga it was adapted from.
The Orc soldiers wavered after they saw that spectacle. They never imagined that the officer-class Huge Demon would be defeated.
“Gyaaa!!”
One of the orcs threw its spear down and fled. That sparked the start of the orcs striving to be the first to flee.
“They did it! They did it! The enemy is pulling back!”
The Imperial soldiers shouted. The hopeless losing battle had transformed into a brilliant victory.
Gideons exchanged looks with Ruti and smiled lightly.
Gideon raised his sword straight up into the air. His armor made clinking sounds.
“It is our victory! Raise your victory cries!”
Ruti and the Imperial Soldiers defending the checkpoint mimicked Gideon and raised their swords in sync.
“Oooooo!!!!”
The Imperial soldiers raised a grand victory cry.
The cheers reverberated through the highway. The battle was nothing more than a small victory to defend a checkpoint but that victory cry ran through the highway to cheer on the other soldiers fighting against the Demon Lord army.
The Imperial soldiers couldn’t help themselves from thinking that way.
“We’ve won, Ruti.”
“Yup!”
The 『Hero』 and knight stared at each other. The Imperial soldiers felt hot rising courage and hope from looking at the two heroic existences.
” … Tch.”
Among them all, there was just one person. Only the Sage Ares glared at Gideon’s back with a loathsome gaze …

That was just a brief introduction to the Hero’s story.
The inexperienced Hero Ruti and the Knight Gideon who supported her.
The two were called Humanity’s Twin Wings of Hope. They stood at the frontline in the battle against the Demon Lord army and brought many victories to humanity.

And then, three years later …
Even now, the Hero’s journey continued and her battle against the Demon Lord army was still ongoing. But.
“Henbane grass 3 kilograms, Wolfberry leaves 2 kilograms, 1 bag of white berries …”
The Adventurers Guild’s receptionist lady was kind. Even when dealing with a wandering D-rank Adventurer like myself, she responded to me with a radiant business smile.
“Total will be 130 peryl. Thank you for your hard work as usual, Red-san.”
“Haha, this wasn’t that hard …”
There were other receptionist ladies who clearly had a worse attitude when dealing with D-ranks. Although there would not be any difference in reward received, being told that I worked hard felt nice after all.
“Please come again.”
“Yeah, I will.”
I replied to the bowing receptionist lady with a heartfelt smile and subsequently left Zoltan’s Adventurers Guild.
Three years had passed since then.
I, who was once called Humanity’s Twin Wings of Hope, had changed my name to Red and was currently living in the remote region of Zoltan gathering medicinal grass.
☆☆
I possess the divine protection of 『Guide』. Its unique skill is ‘Initial Level +30.’
I was level 31 since birth. That was close to the level of a retired knight who spent his life in battles.
However, my strong point was also a weak point.
I had no other merit other than having a higher level from the beginning.
I could not use battle techniques or magic. Once others caught up to my level, it was a divine protection with nothing, below that of a 『Warrior』.
I could no longer keep up with the battles and was eventually … kicked out.
“Not a true companion … huh.”
That was unbearable.
I sighed loudly after recalling the time when I was kicked out.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. I will live in peace from now! I will open an apothecary here in Zoltan and have a quiet and comfortable retirement slow life! I will leave the Demon Lord to those people and live not as a knight but as an adventurer for my own sake.
I muttered with modest determination as I walked under the blue sky spread above Zoltan.

A girl wrapped in a robe walked past Red on the street.
There was some distance between the two of them and the girl’s face was covered by the hood on her robe so they did not see each other’s faces.
The girl reached her own mansion and placed her luggage down with a sigh.

“There were no results from today’s adventurer as well huh?”
The girl removed the robe she was wearing and revealed her blonde hair and blue pupils that seemed to reflect the sky. The red bandana wrapped around her neck was a top quality item and the shotel hanging from her waist was decorated with griffon feathers.
They were both luxury goods.
“But I will not give up … I will definitely find you, Gideon!”
The girl muttered on her own with strong determination as well.
