Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

view cover

“Hey. Kael. Thanks for helping me last time. Take this too.”

The hunter Ross next door threw rabbit meat at me.

I was more surprised that he caught a rabbit with his skill than that he showed recognition.

“Did you catch this yourself?”

“Yumma. i’m a hunter A rabbit like this can be obtained just by swinging a sword.”

As if dismissing my doubts, he slashed through the air with the blade of his hand, full of pretentiousness.

However, the clumsy action turned into a certainty. Just by looking at it, it must have been given to me by another hunter out of pity.

“Well, thanks anyway.”

“okay. Please ask more often in the future. I’m busy, so I’ll go first!”

hmm. Compared to catching a wild boar who was digging through the fields, it doesn’t make sense, but I’ll pass on it.

Even today, looking at the peaceful village, I was immersed in the afterglow.

5 years. Five years have already passed.

I am approaching my thirties and 25 years have passed since I possessed this world.

[Academy of Heroes]. As the title suggests, this novel, which takes the Academy as its main subject, is the original of the world I am in now.

The Academy was the main stage for novels created to nurture diverse talents in the imperial capital.

Among them, the hero Lowe, the hero of the story, is a friendship and romance in this academy. Especially for women, he lives an enviable academy life.

With talent and pedigree, he sent quarrelsome villains to the infirmary with just a few pages of effort, and every woman he met was anxious to join his harem party.

When I was possessed here for the first time, I naturally thought that I had become the main character, Lowe.

It’s common sense to be possessed by the protagonist in a novel.

But unfortunately, I was possessed by the warrior Kael.

He’s 10 years older than Lowe, and he’s one of the many heroes who got his haircut by the Demon King in the movie, and even in the original story, he was only a minor role that ended with a few lines of explanation.

As a result of training right up to the point of death to deny that reality, I sealed the demon king that Lowe was supposed to capture first, and changed the story of the novel entirely.

Is it the price for him? Now, I received only 30 gold coins and came down to the countryside where no one knew about it, and I was living a farm life.

In other words, whether it was an academy or a harem, it had nothing to do with me.

“I’m going to live this life like this and go there comfortably.”

Even before his previous life, his body and mind were in tatters due to fierce competition for entrance exams and employment.

Besides, I blew up all my 20 years of youth to catch one demon king this time too. Because I grabbed the sword as soon as I started walking.

So, even for the rest of my life, I want to live a normal but happy life by having a child with a nice, moderately pretty country girl.

I’ve dedicated my life to humanity so far, so no one can say anything about this.

Even Aurelia, searching for my whereabouts, will sneer at me when they find out that I have settled in the countryside.

······It’s hot as it is, but it can’t be helped.

“Oh oh. Kael. Did you even hear about it?”

Unlike other senior citizens, the village chief, who had a long sleep in the morning, for some reason ran into me early in the morning.

knowing who I was, he never once took advantage of or took advantage of my position.

Besides, as a foreigner, he was a benefactor who helped me settle down here.

“haha. Others, though, I didn’t expect you to be interested.”

“What are you talking about? Did something happen to the town?”

I remembered Ross running in haste with a strangely recalled face.

Besides, there were still a few people running past me and running into the square.

No commotion like this had ever happened in this little country, except when someone got hurt or it was a birthday.

But no one has a birthday today, and if it had been an accident, Ross wouldn’t have run away with such a bright smile.

“her. didn’t you hear me Today is not the day he was supposed to come from the Empire.”

“…that person?”

He is the highest class in the town, and what he calls him, there is a high possibility that he is a foreigner. Besides, it’s an empire.

Surely the princess didn’t come here knowing I was here, did she?

“I wonder who came to this town?”

“okay. He’s like you, maybe even higher than you.”

under. f*ck off. How did you come to know

I sighed deeply and tried to stay calm, but I couldn’t stay still due to anxiety.

Damn, what would you do with that girl? He must have led a large army. So should I run away now? But if that happens, I don’t know what kind of damage it will cause to this town.

······shit.

“Who is that… Hey, Kael?”

I couldn’t stay still any longer, so I ran past the village chief and ran to the square without hearing any more.

If it’s a real princess, she’ll have to sort things out before she enters this town.

After seeing the negotiations through dialogue, if the dialogue does not work, battle is inevitable, so at least they could not be brought into the village.

When I saw the square, it was already crowded with many villagers.

Fortunately, it hasn’t arrived yet.

·········· By the way, it seems that all the men in the village, from children to young people, have gathered.

“Hey. Here he comes!”

As soon as I was relieved, someone shouted so.

Damn, I’m late. I took a deep breath and made my way through the crowd.

“Five. Kael is here too. By the way, no matter how much I miss you, why is it passing so quickly?”

“mister. don’t push I may have seen you when I was a hero, but this is our first time!”

The villagers scolded me for stalking the crowd, but I ignored it.

Ah-oh. Those kids now think I’m doing this because I’m selfish with that bitch.

Damn it, it was urgent, but the young men who were always squeaking did not give way as easily as today.

No, the cubs who usually struggled just to draw water from the well.

“Oh oh. That person is…”

I couldn’t delay any longer when the front row shouted.

I forcibly removed the guys in the front row and dug into them.

Every time I did, I heard the villagers swearing, but I kept ignoring it and moved forward.

Now, you just need to skip one line.

“Come on, wait a minute. But this is…”

But this time, a groan was heard from the front row.

Before I even tried to break through, for some reason the people in the front row made their own way.

what? There was something strange about the atmosphere, but now was not the time to worry about it.

I ran and grabbed the wrist of the woman who was walking in front of me without looking at her face.

“Ahhh?”

A scream that was too weak and slender to be called a princess.

Hearing that voice, I stopped walking out of town and looked back.

The villagers around me were bewildered and chattering looking at me.

The large army that the princess had led was nowhere to be found. No, there was no princess in the first place.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

A woman’s voice in dismay.

There, unlike the blonde princess, there was a woman with silver hair and violet eyes, looking up at me with a terrified face.

The first woman I’ve ever seen in my life. Still, I knew this woman.

“Hey, Uncle Cael. What the hell are you doing!”

“Are you crazy? I won’t let you go right now, what are you doing?”

Some villagers hastily separated me from her.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she was being supported by the village chief while being dragged along by them.

Saint Aerith. Covering her body in a pure white robe, she later became one of the party members of the Low Champion.

When she received the revelation, I had already retired, so I didn’t have a face-to-face meeting, but it was the same as the one I saw in the novel, so I knew it as soon as I saw her.

You might have wondered why she is here now, but it was probably good now.

her left arm.

In the original work, her left arm, one of the readers’ favorite characters as one of the harem members of Lowe, was nowhere to be seen.

“Princess. It is said that the saint has escaped from prison!”

The Minister of Belgeron rushed to Aurelia and reported it.

However, as she took care of her servants’ skin in a relaxed manner, a smile appeared on her lips.

“okay? How did you escape?”

“There is no evidence, but it appears that they escaped with the help of the cathedral.”

“Whoa. It would have been better if the legs were cut off instead of the arms.”

She said that and clicked her tongue.

eye thorns. I need to put my person in the headmaster’s seat as soon as possible.

“Hey, what do you do now?”

He waited for her order with an anxious look.

When the saint was convicted and imprisoned, not only the church, but also protests from the citizens were pouring in.

Fortunately, no one was able to stand up to it because it was the order of the princess who had the honor of sealing the demon king and the current ruler of the empire.

However, as long as the saint had escaped, there was nothing strange about what happened when the truth was revealed that she was actually innocent.

While he waited impatiently, Aurelia stretched and stood up when the administration was finally over.

“I want you and send the pursuit right away. Place the knights in the cathedral or in places she frequents.”

“Yes. We will implement it immediately.”

“Hey, princess. It’s a big deal!”

As soon as she gave the order, the other ambassador forgot this courtesy and rushed to her.

“What the hell are you doing now?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry. But look at this!”

His clothes were soaked in sweat, and he handed her a piece of parchment, without even opening his mouth properly.

She snatched it up with an annoyed look on her face and unfolded the parchment that had been tied with a string.

At first, she was contemplating what punishment she would give me instead, but her face turned pale as she read each line.

“Oh, princess?”

Belgeron sensed the uneasy atmosphere and asked her carefully.

But after reading it all with a bewildered expression, she looked down at the two ministers and asked with an anxious face.

“Row, where is Lowe now?”

Now that Kael has retired, the strongest and most trusted of the heroes on the current continent was undoubtedly Lowe.

He now resides in a mansion in the Empire and is trusted by Aurelia.

“Currently, the mansion is preparing to enter the academy.”

“Then tell me to bring my colleagues here right now. It’s urgent.”

“For what reason?”

She hates being bothered by questioning her orders.

Still, I couldn’t help but dare to ask.

How can she be so anxious about being so calm in her work as a saint? It was obviously not unusual.

After a while, she finally broke her luck with her trembling lips.

“It seems that the Demon King has been resurrected.”
