Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

what is a virgin

Nobility, purity, worship. A sacred being that only exists in the Empire, whose value cannot be expressed in a few words.

Aerith took over the role after Celine, a former saint and colleague of Cael, left the cathedral to become the princess’ secretary.

Saint Aerith, whom even the emperor of the Empire could not dare to touch, has been respected and loved regardless of class or race.

Of course, the very existence of a saint was also the object of admiration for many, but Aerith received the most love among all the saints.

But there was no one to help her lead her away.

“Prize the criminal Aerith immediately.”

At Aurelia’s order, two knights grabbed Aerith from both sides.

The citizens were restless and just watched.

No, to be exact, it was a conflict.

Between the treasure of the empire, the saint, and the hero of the empire, the princess.

“Eh, Aerith-sama…….”

Someone murmured in anguish.

The sight of her being dragged along by the knights was truly tragic.

He lost his left arm and lost his balance, and every time he fell, sighs arose around him.

There was nowhere to be seen of the saint who came out to the square every morning before anyone else and smiled like the warm sunlight.

There are only out-of-focus pupils, a severed left arm, and a criminal in moldy rags.

“Hey, princess. Why are you making such hasty decisions?”

The headmaster, who could not see, protested against Aurelia, who was sentenced on the podium.

Behind the headmaster, the priests and paladins were staring at them as if they would rush to the platform at any moment.

Nevertheless, she smirked as she swept the blonde hair that had fallen on her shoulder backwards.

“Why? Have you even seen the teacher yourself? That woman led the demons to attack this capital city.”

“Is it possible? In my eyes, it was only the hero and her group running away from the demons.”

The headmaster appealed for her injustice, but the noise around her grew.

Citizens were confused because they could not see the situation in person.

He blamed himself for having this happen.

Three days ago, the hero’s party asked her, a saint, to attack the dungeon.

Because it was a dungeon with a lot of undead, it was because she needed her power with divine power.

‘I’m sorry.’

She wanted to answer that way because she had only exchanged greetings a few times, and she still had work to do.

If he hadn’t asked for it using his position as a hero.

Rejecting his request, which has the absolute support of a princess who is second only to the emperor of the empire, is tantamount to disobeying her order.

Neither the church nor her had the guts to do that.

“Whoa. teacher. So are you saying that the Low Hero, who will lead our empire now, only turned his back to the demons and ran away?”

“I don’t mean that…”

Aurelia, who heard the teacher’s words, widened her eyes and raised her voice.

Then there was a loud gossip among the people.

“Didn’t the hero and his companions testify in the first place? That woman took sides with the demons and attacked them.”

At her words, the eyes of the citizens who had sympathized with Aerith changed to those of suspicion.

Normally, they wouldn’t have ever doubted the saint with just a few words.

However, the princess and the hero, the pride of the Empire, recognized it, and he had suffered damage from that incident, so he needed a target to pour out his anger on.

Although the church side seemed to be embarrassed, the momentum was weakened, but the headmaster did not give up.

After Celine went out on her own terms, it was Aerith who kept the church’s shaky stance.

Although he was young, he believed that she could not be a traitor, as she prayed and volunteered every day without saying a word.

“Then why was that child’s left arm torn off by the demons? It must have been a surprise attack, and that child was also wounded, and the hero was forced to retreat.”

“I do not know. It could be a self-made play.”

“It’s absurd. What kind of human would casually give up an arm.”

The headmaster said earnestly as if he was about to kneel right now, but she did not even pretend to listen and sneered.

surprise attack. That’s half right and half wrong.

It is true that they were attacked first, but it was a place that had been rumored to be inhabited by demon king officers recently.

The Adventurer’s Guild, who heard the rumor, naturally restricted access, but Lowe pushed for the dungeon.

It was because he was desperate for the honor and reward that would follow when he cleared the dungeon for the first time, as he had just become a hero.

In other words, whatever the circumstances, he did it for one reason simply because he needed performance.

‘There were three demon king executives. There’s no way the cowardly Aerith would have attacked first.’

Thinking so, the teacher looked at the status of those who attacked the dungeon together.

Except for Aerith, the rest of the teammates had only minor injuries.

I heard that the hero was also seriously injured, but now he looks fine.

Then, why was only Aeris, who was supposed to be in the rear, seriously injured?

The headmaster looked at Lowe with his head bowed next to the princess with suspicion.

A look of guilt and relief appeared on his face at the same time.

“Anyway, there is still only heart disease, and there is no physical evidence anywhere. Still, it makes no sense to take her to jail.”

“There is a risk of escaping. And the evidence can be investigated from now on.”

You’re already being treated like a criminal with just one testimony.

It was a situation that would never have been possible normally.

Nevertheless, Aurelia held onto this case until the end, as if she had been waiting for this moment to come.

“Princess. Please, please, please. How can a child who has never left this city join hands with demons?”

“Teacher. I can’t hear your whining anymore. We will do our best to reveal the truth, so please stop now.”

As she went down to the back of the podium, the headmaster desperately called, but the knights stopped her.

Aurelia walked up to Aerith as she was being dragged into prison, stroked her hair and whispered into her ear.

“So, you should have done it in moderation.”

What does it mean? Aerith questioned the meaning of the word for a moment, but it soon ceased to matter.

I’ve already lost all my arms and the title of a saint, so now, what’s the point of such a question?

I was dragged down the stairs without a single light, hoping this was just a dream, but this time, Lowe blocked my way.

He bowed his head with an expressionless face.

“sorry. Aeris. It’s all my fault.”

“·················ogue.”

For the first time, her mouth, which had always said it was okay to apologize to anyone, was firmly shut.

Instead, he met his eyes with resentful eyes.

“Why did you lie like that?”

“Well, that’s….”

He couldn’t keep up, but she barely noticed.

He, who had fled to the city with a demon, blamed himself for avoiding the responsibility of putting the city in danger because of him.

Did I collude with the demons? To take a hero into a dungeon to trap him.

In the first place, I had never seen demons, and even the dungeon was suggested by the hero first and forced to drag.

She cried so much that she was so upset that tears that she thought would no longer flow down her cheeks.

The love I felt when we first met has long since disappeared.

Disappointment. heartbreak. Now she was valuing him that way.

“Really sorry. But I couldn’t help it either. If I had told the truth there, the holy sword would have been confiscated and I would have had to quit the hero.”

“Is that important enough to make me this way?”

“Well, don’t worry about it. The princess also said that she would take it out after a while, so everything will be fine.”

With those words, the knights pushed her down the stairs covered in darkness.

fear. The feeling he had forgotten when his arm was severed came back to life.

It feels like once you swallow it in that darkness, you will never get out of it again.

Can I come out of here and see the light again? As I was engulfed in such fear, I heard a voice calling out from behind.

“don’t worry. I’m sure nothing will happen!”

With those words, she was imprisoned in a dungeon where only felons were kept.

And two weeks later, she heard that her charges were confirmed and that the hero was living in the mansion with the favor of the princess.

***

Why is this saint doing this now?

Obviously, at the end of Part 1 of the original, the heroine most likely to connect with the hero among the many harem parties was Aerith by far.

However, when she heard the news that the hero had arrived, she was desperately pulling my collar to pull the doorknob.

“Ji, please don’t open the door…….”

Sitting down and desperately holding onto me, she no longer looked like the saint I knew.

She was just a fragile girl who was traumatized and panicked.

“Lady. Alright, let me go.”

“Please, I beg you. Please······.”

ha. this can’t be done

It seems that no matter what I say, it doesn’t sound like a switch is on.

He just curled up and kept repeating the same thing over and over.

What the hell do I have to do to get a kid to this point? At least it was certain that it wasn’t unusual.

‘I just wanted to spend the rest of my life in peace in this town…’

Thinking like that, I also wanted to curl up next to the saint and cry with her.

It’s sad that 20 years of hard work and waste was thrown away like a consumable item, but the original heroine has moved to my house next door and is trying to call out incidents.

Besides, her current condition looked like a heroine of misfortune with complicated and unfortunate circumstances.

If I get entangled in that, my dream of marrying a country girl and writing a country diary will surely be shattered.

Umm, I’m sorry, but I can’t. How did I find a sanctuary?

“Don’t be so desperate and follow me.”

“Je, please… kayak?”

He hugged her, who had been begging in his mind, and wrapped it around her shoulders like a sackcloth.

She was hanging around my shoulders like a doll, drooping down, not understanding the current situation.

“Ah, uh, eh, huh?”

A saint who tries to grasp the situation by making a strange noise.

Well, since I was in the position of a saint, let alone being treated like this, I hardly ever had contact with a man.

Still, I hope you will be patient for a little while for my country life. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with her. If it happened because I was possessed, I would be responsible for it.

I opened the door wide and stepped out before she woke up.

To go see the warrior, and to protect my farming life.
