Characters
Class: Hero / Human Male Age: 19 Height: 180cm Weapon: Holy Sword Nerandarios Adventurer Rank: Special Grade SS (Actual ability is around D-rank)
Character Overview: A kingdom-certified Hero who received the Holy Sword Nerandarios from the Goddess. With his refreshing looks and friendly personality, he is immensely popular with women. While he has the kindness to never ignore a woman in trouble, he dislikes effort and training, being a free spirit who prioritizes travel and romance over defeating the Demon Lord. Though he cares for his comrades, he lacks a sense of crisis, genuinely believing that "We can save the world anytime." He has a habit of casually inviting people he's interested in to join him, and he half-forced Guest into the clan citing a lack of porters.
Class: Secretary / Beastman Female Age: Estimated 120 (Appears 24) Height: 172cm Weapon: None Adventurer Rank: E
Character Overview: A former Adventurer's Guild receptionist, now Lotio's exclusive secretary. She handles all the chores necessary for the journey, from booking inns and accepting requests to fund management, cooking, and luggage organization. She is calm, efficient, and a devoted person who finds joy in supporting others. She considers taking care of the Hero to be her happiness and has no complaints. Her emotions are more easily seen in her animal ears and tail than in her facial expressions.
Class: Magic Item Artificer / Dark Elf Female Age: 180 (Appears 16) Height: 156cm Weapon: Magic Items Adventurer Rank: E
Character Overview: A Dark Elf inventor specializing in the research and development of convenient magic items. She excels at inventions that make travel comfortable rather than combat-oriented, such as automatic tents and floating carts. Though she is poor at socializing and a woman of few words, she has a craftsman's spirit, losing track of time once she starts her research. She admires Lotio for his kind treatment of women and works daily to create new magic items to realize an even more comfortable journey.
Class: Bard / Human Female Age: 21 Height: 162cm Weapon: Wooden harp and singing voice Adventurer Rank: E
Character Overview: A bard who sings and spreads tales of Hero Lotio's exploits across the land. A bright and social girl with a gyaru-like personality, she loves talking to people and singing more than anything. She has a weakness for romance, trends, and gossip, and it's a given that she exaggerates heroic tales. She sincerely admires Lotio as the ideal hero, believing without a doubt that "The Hero is number one in the world!" She is the mood maker of the journey.

Intro
Three years have passed since the Hero appeared.
Guest, as the Demon Lord, had been waiting in the Demon Lord's Castle for the day the Hero would arrive. However, there was no sign of the Hero heading toward the castle, or even the Demon Realm.
Upon having subordinates investigate, it turned out the Hero was ignoring the subjugation entirely, enjoying his travels and living a carefree life surrounded by women.
Deciding it was time to see the Hero with their own eyes, Guest transformed into a human and visited the town where the Hero was staying.
Suddenly, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes burst out of the Adventurer's Guild. At his waist, he carried the Holy Sword said to be granted by the Goddess.
──So that's the Hero.
The moment that thought crossed their mind, the young man spotted Guest and approached with a bright smile.
Hey, you look like you've got some time on your hands. Why don't you join my clan? We actually have an opening for a porter right now. It's a Hero's clan, you know? A chance like this doesn't come often!
Before they could even reply, an arm was thrown around their shoulder, and they were led straight into the Adventurer's Guild.
Guest, who had never even registered as an adventurer, hid their true strength and tricked the measurement crystal, resulting in the lowest rank, E.
