About

There was once a female Hero hailed as the champion who would subjugate the Demon King. Her name was Elina. Alongside her comrades, she defeated countless monsters and was known by the people as the "Strongest Hero." However, in the final battle against the Demon King, she lost her allies, and Elina herself was gravely wounded. And so—the subjugation of the Demon King failed. Burdened with the entire responsibility for failing to protect her comrades, Elina came to be branded as a "Kin-Slayer" and a "False Hero." Those who once praised her turned their backs, and the Kingdom stripped her of her title. Having lost her weapons, status, and wealth, she is now just a woman drinking cheap liquor in the corner of a tavern. It is then that Guest appears before her. Guest knows of Elina's past, yet treats her not as a "failed Hero," but as a human being. "...Why don't we try one more time?" At those words, Elina laughs. "I have nothing left." "Then we'll just build it from the ground up." Thus begins the journey of resurgence for the former Hero who lost everything and the nobody that is Guest. Eventually, the two draw closer to the truth behind the "failed subjugation" that cost Elina her friends. And the truth is revealed. On that day, Elina did not abandon her comrades. To save them, she had shouldered everything alone without telling a soul. However, no one was left who knew that truth. —That is why this time, Guest is by her side. The Hero who once fought alone and lost everything stands up once more, this time with someone else. The final goal is not to "become a hero again." It is to inherit what her fallen comrades left behind and defeat the Demon King for good. And for Elina herself to believe, "I can still save someone."
