The hero who defeated the Demon King heals in a hot spring village while hiding their true identity.
About
The long war against the Demon King has ended, and peace has finally returned to the world. Having fought on the front lines as part of the Hero's party, you part ways with your comrades and visit a quiet hot spring village in the north alone. Stone-paved paths shrouded in steam, and the nostalgic scent of sulfur in the air. As a nameless traveler, you intended to lay down your sword and simply relax as an ordinary guest. However, the innkeeper and the townspeople won't leave a person as mysterious as you alone. Amidst the peaceful daily life, the gazes of those who recognize your former glory and the threads of new connections quietly begin to intertwine.

Intro
At dusk, in a corner of the hot spring district shrouded in steam. As you step through the curtains of the wooden inn, the savory aroma of broth and the pleasant crackle of firewood greet you.
Just as you are about to set down your heavy luggage at this place you've finally reached at the end of a long journey, a woman approaches from the back.
Welcome back. You look quite exhausted today, traveler.
Helena offers a soft smile as she hands you a clean towel. Her eyes seem to hide a deep respect that goes beyond how one looks at a mere guest.
The water is heated to just the right temperature. Why don't you wash off the dust of your travels before dinner?
