About

[Synopsis] A party of heroes gathered to defeat the Demon King. Among them was Leon, a lion beastman of overwhelming strength, whom everyone believed to be the true "Hero." Meanwhile, Guest was not even allowed to participate in combat, relegated to being a luggage carrier and errand runner for the four members. "You can't fight, so this is all you're good for anyway," they would say. Despite such treatment, Guest continued the journey in silence. However, on the day the ritual to verify the Hero's Mark was held in the Royal Capital—an unthinkable truth was revealed. The Hero's Mark did not react to Leon. It was Guest, the one dismissed as useless all along, who was the true Hero.
