Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

Two years after returning from the Empire.

After getting revenge on Aurelia and returning to the village, Serin and I came back home.

But nothing changed.

A day nothing special.

A daily routine that hasn’t changed.

Days when boredom and peace are just one bit different.

Every day like that came to me as if it were normal, and many mornings were greeted again.

As time passed, spring was approaching, and today was the day that such a day began-

“Serine. What is this?”

As I lifted the side dish with chopsticks, Serin avoided her gaze.

haha. That doesn’t mean I didn’t have the blue-green meat I lifted.

“I’m seriously asking… did you really think you could fool this?”

“······yes.”

I sighed inwardly.

The fact that he tried to trick me into giving him the elixir of immortality was more regrettable than the intelligence of Serin, who believed that he could deceive me with this.

Seeing me with compassionate eyes, Serin exclaimed urgently.

“Hey, don’t look at me with those eyes!”

“ha. Still, I wouldn’t have been this stupid before.”

“But it happened because the master didn’t drink this elixir! I stole it from my dad the hard way!”

“Don’t steal the elixir of your own country…”

You already hit the princess in the first place.

But stealing isn’t enough, so you’re trying to make me drink secretly.

“Hey. But the master is a human, so he can’t live long like me or Lucia!”

“Why are you looking into such a distant future already? On the topic of hikikomori.”

“Ugh. too bad! How thoroughly do you manage your belly fat these days? Everyone compliments me that I am the prettiest in town!”

Serin cried and struggled, but I know.

How much weight have you gained over the past two years?

So don’t be funny. Isn’t it all you’re putting pressure on your belly fat right now?

“Besides that. It’s not a drug that will last forever. Drink it now and you’ll probably live like me!”

“How much is that?”

“Ugh. So… was it about 3,000 years old?”

“······Wow.”

It’s an absurd number that doesn’t even make you laugh.

Wouldn’t you rather be poisoned?

As I looked at her with a puzzled look, Serin tapped her chest as if not to worry.

“Oh, don’t worry! I brought a total of three bottles, including Aerith’s share, for emergencies. fu fu fu. how about it? Did I do well? You just want to stroke me?”

After saying that, Serin patted her hair and pushed out the top of her head as if asking for it.

Is it optimized for hikikomori intelligence after 2 years?

Seeing him like that, the first time I met him is almost fuzzy.

No, where did the hero and princess Serin go?

Where did the elf who proudly wore the cover and smiled sweetly?

Anyway, even if I cheated, I had to pay a little bit more since I was playing with food.

I sighed and clenched my fists, turning my wrists.

“Whoa. Get your belly fat.”

“Huh!? Ji, are you serious?”

“uh. Hurry up and wait for me to eat.”

Serin looked at me for a moment.

I thought about whether I should stick out my belly fat, but in the end,

“······escape!”

I didn’t even eat anything and ran away.

OK. I heard that pre-meal exercise is so effective in losing weight.

“Kuk. Please don’t wait 5 seconds in particular.”

“The sound of laughter and the dialogue are evil! Are you a villain!?”

And so, a chase around the village began in the morning.

“Chuckle, Cael and Serene. I feel good in the morning.”

“hello. old man.”

“Huh. sah, save me Grandpa!”

“Serin sister. Uncle Kael. Play with us today. Today is tagging!”

“okay. See you later at the park.”

“Whoa. What are you doing already?”

“you. Come to my house to pick up vegetables later. I got something really fresh yesterday!”

“Thank you, I’ll see you later.”

“It’s meat. There’s even meat!?”

Thanks to you, I ran around the town today and said hello to my neighbors.

I followed her, who was desperately running away, keeping a close distance on purpose.

“Heh heh, I can’t really run anymore…”

“yes? Se, Serin sister!?”

“ah! nice meeting you guys Stop our master!”

“yes!?”

“Hey, how do we stop Kael?”

“Mr. Do you guys do that to me and don’t you listen to me? He said that he would only listen to me until the day I die!”

Jack and his friends, who were working nearby, wept.

Two years ago, for making a mistake with Serin, I became a subordinate who was close to a slave.

Thanks to that, I heard that she works until the sun goes down every day instead of Serin and takes care of her errands.

Just yesterday, I remember seeing him sang more than ten times just to run the candy errand.

“Are you all going to kill me? Reaching your grandfathers!?”

“Oh okay. I’ll stop it. I’m sorry, Kael- Kuek!?”

I mercilessly threw Jack and the young men into the field.

I don’t feel guilty about being so ugly like that.

Well, it’s all karma.

“Profit! Those useless kids.”

“Hey, this is going to lose some weight. Let’s do five more laps.”

“Ahhh! Master is the devil!”

While saying that, Serin runs her best in order not to get caught by me.

Yes, I need to lose some weight this time.

“Whoa….”

But about four laps, I found Serine lying on the floor and sat down next to it.

“Aren’t you running any more? There are still two laps left.”

“Heh heh. I’d rather have a tummy tuck.”

Serine who slurps like a slime.

It seems like it’s over here.

Instead of pressing Serin’s stomach, I held out the water I had brought.

“Would you like to drink?”

“Want to drink!”

wiggle wiggle.

The sound of Serin desperately scratching her neck was heard.

I rested next to him for a while and looked up at the sky.

White clouds floating freely in the blue sky.

peace.

We live under it now.

Such a very ordinary day. and boring daily life.

Maybe someone will laugh at you for being insignificant.

Others may lament that they have left such glory for the sake of a life like this.

As a hero and as a hero, I deserve the right and life.

I left it all behind and came back down to this town.

However, even if some laughed and said it was a waste, there was no dissatisfaction or regret in this life.

Well, because I came here, I finally got what I wanted.

“? Why are you What did you put on my face?”

Serin asked, wiping her cheeks with both hands.

Seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but smile.

“No, more Serene than that. Would you like another bottle?”

“yes!”

*

It was the way back home after finishing the basic exercise and saying hello to the villagers.

On the way back, Serin was clinging to my arm the whole time.

“I’m sweating.”

“Hehehe. I don’t care. No, I rather like it!”

No, I’m asking for your sweat…

Well, if you say that, you won’t even hear it.

He was passing by, throwing glances around him that it was natural to see if he was familiar.

“Oh, Kael and Serene. It’s still the same today!”

“Ah, Uncle Ross!”

“Did you go hunting?”

On the way, the hunter Ross encountered on the way proudly raised four rabbits.

“Uh-huh. My time has finally come!”

“what. Did you get it from another hunter?”

“no! this time it’s real Oh no. It was real from the beginning, though. Ahahahaha!!”

hoo. From what I’m saying, it looks like it’s true today.

Well, everyone has grown up.

Thinking like that, I was about to applaud.

“ooh. Awesome man!!”

Then, suddenly, Serin’s eyes lit up and began to praise him.

Also, more than usual.

“cool. mister!! You look like a real hunter!”

“haha. It feels good to hear such words from a beautiful woman like Serin! Where else do you want to go!”

“Yes. Absolutely cool! You caught two to give to me and the master!”

“Yeah, yeah, like cancer… huh?”

“thank you. mister. I was just hungry because I had been working out!”

Ross’s mouth twitched in embarrassment.

But soon after, with tears in her eyes, she handed two rabbits to Serin.

“Ah, that, that… ahahaha. That’s right. They all knew you were hungry, so I caught you like this!”

“Yes. Also! I will eat well!”

“okay. uhm. That’s right…”

Serin snatches a rabbit from Ross, who is nervous.

And then he smiled at me and said, “How did you do it?”

this elf. Calling a man hundreds of years younger than him ‘uncle’ wasn’t enough, he even stole a rabbit.

Isn’t it sad that the hunter over there is looking at the rabbit with his lingering eyes?

In return, I’ll have to hang out with them for the next hunt or something.

“Ah, by the way, Cael, there was a guest at your house.”

“A guest?”

At Ross’s sudden change of topic, Serin and I tilted our heads.

Were there any guests to come today? No, there were guests in this town in the first place.

Besides, his grinning face. You seem to know something about the guest.

“Huh. Go quickly. I’m going to take this with me.”

Ross, who spread his voice like that, handed us the other two.

Then he patted me on the shoulder and walked out of the way.

what? I used to be a person who likes to hold on to form, but it’s especially harsh these days.

“master. master.”

“uh?”

“Ross must have had the disease his master was talking about. Second bottle.”

“Yamma…….”

Excuse me. Besides, it’s called uncle.

“But it sure is strange.”

“Is that right?”

Well, it’s the first time I’ve caught four rabbits, so that’s okay.

“Anyway, let’s go back soon. They say that guests are coming.”

“yes. Come back soon! Hi-Hi. I also got a lot of rabbits here, so I cooked them deliciously-”

“-Kae-e-e-el!!”

That was the time I was about to go back.

“Ahhh!?”

Suddenly, someone from the side hit Serin, and someone got on top of it.

And soon a familiar voice echoed through the village.

“It’s been a while, Kael!! I couldn’t stand it because I wanted to see you, so I came all the way here! But I’ve gained a lot of weight while I haven’t seen you… huh? Oh, that’s sweet.”

A familiar voice calls me. It was nice to hear your voice after a long time, and I laughed.

Yes, you were the ‘guests’.

“Lucia. long time no see.”

Demon King Lucia. A dear colleague, she has returned after two years.

“Ah, this time it’s the real Kael!! Ehehe. Yes, long time no see!”

You still look healthy.

When I said that, Lucia ran towards me happily.

“yes. I was healthy! Is Cael healthy too?”

“Well, yes.”

“Ehehe… Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve been cunt. How have you been?”

“I was having a good time, but I just didn’t.”

Serin spit out her last will and stared at Lucia.

But even so, Lucia was still bright.

“Ehehehehe.”

Lucia, whom I met after two years, was the same.

He patted her hair, stroking her hair, as he liked the look of her uniform appearance.

But where is Aerith? The rumor that Lucia was coming must have come with her.

Ross said they were guests too, so they must be in town.

At that time, Serin got up from behind and raised the rabbit.

“Ehh. Lucia. Haven’t you eaten yet? Let’s go eat together.”

“Yeah, good!”

“But where is Aerith? Are you the only one here?”

Serin also looked around and asked.

But Aerith was nowhere to be seen.

“no. You came with me before, but it disappeared while I was watching you go over there on the water.”

“okay? Then you’ll still be around here.”

Having said that, the two men looked around the watermill and searched for Aerith.

I also tried to look around a bit, but gave up.

Instead, I started walking towards the house like a possessed person.

Why?

Just follow the flowers blooming on the street,

Guided by the blowing spring wind,

I passed our house with some certainty and arrived in front of the house next door, where there must be no one there.

Then, without hesitation, he knocked on the door.

smart-

The house was vacant for two years. A place where no one should be now.

But today was different.

The door, which had been tightly closed since she left, was carefully opening.

There stood the lady next door with a playful smile.

“I’m sorry. I wanted to surprise you.”

“Even after two years, that personality is still the same. Aerith.”

At my words, Aerith smiled happily.

“It’s a reunion after two years. It’s not fun just meeting them.”

“Well, I was quite surprised. In many ways.”

“Oh, then the operation was a success.”

She clapped her hands and gave a satisfied expression.

I looked at her two hands.

Yes, I heard that Kusha had his arm cut off, but he must have been well preserved.

Fortunately, while she was thinking like that, she took a step closer without warning.

“So? Is that sweet?”

“yes?”

“I still have the feeling of seeing myself so pretty. fufu. how about it? Are you still in love?”

A playful way of asking questions with a mischievous smile.

There’s even a mean look in my eyes waiting for my reaction.

it’s still Even after two years, it was the same as before we broke up.

Yes, nothing has changed.

just getting back to normal.

“Aerith.”

“yes?”

Aerith still waiting for my answer with a mischievous smile.

I looked at her like that and brought out the words I had kept for two years.

“Come on.”

“ah······.”

Aerith blinked a few times with a blank face.

Her lips twitched a few times, probably in embarrassment. But then he looked at me and smiled warmly like the spring breeze.

“I’m back. Kael.”
