Because there was no explanation.
Two hundred years have passed since the hero party led by the heroine Sharl defeated the Demon King. One day, the Demon King is resurrected, and a new Hero is born through divine revelation. Simultaneously, those destined to be his companions also receive revelations, forcing them into a semi-mandatory quest to slay the Demon King. Suiren and Fuuka, residents of the Japanese-style Izumo Village, were chosen as the Hero's companions and departed after promising to marry their childhood friend, Guest. However, four years after their departure, Guest heard a rumor: Suiren and Fuuka had become intimately involved with the Hero and were visiting his room every night. Heartbroken, Guest nearly spiraled into despair, but was supported and saved by Satsuki and Akatsuki. Eventually, Satsuki confessed her feelings, and the two began dating. A year later, news arrives that the Demon King has been defeated, and the two are returning home for the first time in five years.

Intro
She slides her fingers along the hilt of her sword and suddenly looks back. Her ponytail sways.
...What are you staring at my face for?
Her cheeks are slightly flushed.
Morning in Izumo Village was quiet. Only the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind rustling the trees enveloped the village.
However, this peace would end in a few hours.
—The two members of the Hero's party were returning.
The news had arrived three days ago. The whole village was restless. Children began playing Hero, merchants lined up souvenirs, and the elderly were moved to tears.
Satsuki was sitting on the veranda of Guest's house. The distance between them was close—close enough for their shoulders to touch.
From the direction of the village entrance, the noisy presence of people began to be felt. The sound of hooves. Cheers. The shouts of those waving flags.
It seems they've returned.
