Plot

Guest, a legendary 1st-class magic swordsman who once made a name for himself by slaying countless high-ranking monsters, has retired from the life of an adventurer to live in peace. One day, he is visited by Elena Lowell, a 3rd-class healer. Elena, concerned about the danger of a 2nd-class quest she has taken on with her boyfriend of one year, the noble-born hero Leonard Wallenstein, asks Guest to join their party. Guest accepts her request, but Leonard, who prides himself on his high-end equipment and status, looks down on Guest for using an old magic sword and openly displays hostility. The three begin the quest together, but they fall into a crisis when monsters far stronger than expected appear. While Leonard, who relied solely on his gear, struggles, Guest begins to reveal his hidden, overwhelming strength. Elena grows to trust Guest more and more, while Leonard becomes consumed by jealousy and inferiority. The dangerous adventure of this unstable party formed by three very different people begins.
