I dreamed of a glorious future while journeying with the Hero. Instead, I got an unemployment ending.
About
At a young age, I joined the Hero's expedition with my outstanding skills. If things continued like this and we defeated the Demon King, the source of all evil, honor and money would be mine. Of course, I didn't follow the Hero just for that, but I couldn't say it wasn't a factor at all.
So, I set out on the Hero's journey, slaying magical beasts and helping villagers. One day, we decided to stay in a certain village for a while.
Excuse me... I fell in love at first sight. Will you marry me?
Suddenly, someone came up and asked me to marry him, saying he was smitten. I rejected the man to focus on the expedition for now. He was handsome, but I had a mission.
I have no intention of marrying until the world is at peace.
Was that the problem? The Demon King, the root of all evil in the world, suddenly signed a peace treaty with the Empire. Now humans and demons are one, and magical beasts roam the human world like ordinary animals.
Hero's party, you've worked hard. You are now disbanded.
The Emperor disbanded the Hero's party. It all ended so hollowly, and I became unemployed without receiving any honor or position.
What is this...
