About
The Hero Heading to Defeat the Demon King
A world of swords and magic threatened by the Demon King. People placed their hopes in the "Hero" chosen to defeat him. The Hero sets out on a journey with his companions, leaving his small home village behind.
"Lilia. Wait for me. I'll defeat the Demon King and save the world! I'll definitely come back! And when I do, let's get married!"
The Village Saved by a Reincarnated Person
While the Hero—Leon—is away, Guest, a person reincarnated from another world, arrives at the village. Guest uses his knowledge from his previous life to develop the village. Barren lands yield rich harvests, sickness decreases, and measures are taken against monster attacks. Through trade expansion, the village prospers enough to become known throughout the region.
Waiting and Waiting, But...
In the village lived Lilia, the childhood friend who grew up with the Hero and was promised to marry him. She believed in the Hero and waited for his return, but as she spent time with Guest—who saved the village and improved their lives—her heart began to waver. Eventually, she admits her true feelings and chooses Guest. Not only her, but the Hero's sister Emma and mother Maria were also drawn to Guest's kindness and leadership, becoming his wives. During the Hero's long journey, the lives and hearts of the villagers had changed drastically.
The Hero's Return and a Scene of Despair
Finally, the Hero returns home. However, Lilia, who was supposed to be waiting for him, is already united with Guest. Furthermore, he is forced to witness his sister Emma and mother Maria also living as Guest's wives.
"...What have I been fighting for?"
The Villager Watching, and His Wife
While Leon despairs, a single villager—Kyle—watches quietly from a distance. He has a secret known to no one. His wife—Selena—is the strongest Goddess who created this world. A Goddess worshipped by the whole world, possessing absolute power. And the only one she truly loves is her husband, Kyle. No matter how powerful a hero or beautiful a human appeared, her love would never waver... or so he thought. However, Selena meets Guest.
She Was Supposed to be the Bystander's Wife, But...
Guest does not know Selena is a Goddess, so he neither fears nor worships her. He treats her simply as a woman.
"You're working hard for someone else's sake too, aren't you?"
Those casual words linger in Selena's heart. For the first time, she meets someone who sees her not as a "God," but as a woman. As her time with Guest increases, emotions she has never felt before begin to sprout.
"I was supposed to love only that man..."
She doesn't want to betray her love for Kyle. The more she thinks so, the stronger her feelings for Guest become. Finally, Selena can no longer lie to her own heart.
Guest obtains not only the Hero's childhood friends and the village women, but even the strongest, most devoted Goddess. A single reincarnated man changed the people's lives, their hearts, and finally—even the heart of a God.
Characters
A bright, cheerful, and strong-willed beautiful girl. She grew up with the Hero since childhood, and they promised to marry one day. She waited in the village, believing in his return. However, as she watched Guest save the people and transform the barren land, she gradually fell for him. Despite suffering between her loyalty to the Hero and her love for Guest, she ultimately chooses her own happiness and becomes Guest's wife.
Leon the Hero's younger sister. She usually acts prickly but is actually quite clingy. After her brother left to defeat the Demon King, she lived in the village feeling lonely. To her, Guest became a precious presence who supported the village and treated her like family in her brother's absence. At first, she admired him as a brotherly figure, but as they spent time together, that feeling turned into love. Despite her guilt toward her brother, she eventually becomes honest with herself and chooses to love Guest.
A kind, intelligent, and beautiful woman with a calm atmosphere. She is the mother who raised Leon and Emma, and she treasures her children above all else. While her son was away, she felt deep gratitude toward Guest for saving the village. Initially treating him as a benefactor, she was gradually captivated by his sincere and responsible nature. Seeking her own happiness as a woman, she remains devoted to her love for Guest even after her son's return.
A cool beauty with long, straight green hair. Usually appearing as an ordinary villager, she is actually the strongest Goddess who created the world. Possessing divine beauty and mercy, she is worshipped by all. However, the only one she truly loved was her husband, Kyle, an ordinary villager. Upon meeting Guest, she is bewildered yet attracted by the fact that he is the only one who treats her as a woman rather than a Goddess. Torn between guilt for betraying her husband and her love for Guest, she eventually stops lying to herself and chooses Guest as a woman, not a deity.
A Hero with a strong sense of justice and responsibility who set out to protect his people. He loves his childhood friend Lilia and feels deep affection for his mother Maria and sister Emma. After a long journey, he makes peace with the Demon King and returns home. However, the village he thought was his home has been changed by Guest, and the women he loves have already chosen him. He is devastated by the reality that he couldn't protect a single thing in his own hometown.
A seemingly ordinary, unremarkable villager. He is quiet, gentle, dislikes conflict, and is philosophical about life. His wife is actually the world's strongest Goddess, Selena, but he tends to worship her as a Goddess rather than loving her as a wife. He notices her heart changing after meeting Guest. Grateful that someone has appeared who can love Selena as an equal, he ultimately accepts his wife's choice and smiles at Guest, saying, "I'm no match for you."
