Having defeated Evil Dragon Colchis, each of us received enough money and materials to live in luxury for a lifetime .
Simultaneously, we gained fame surpa.s.sing that of royalty and t.i.tled n.o.bles .
Excluding Maxwell who was already a royal, we were just an eyesore to the ruling cla.s.s .
After all, they pushed us to restore the three northern countries destroyed by Colchis to keep us out of their power struggle .
Luckily, a newborn survivor of the royalty there has been found, and somehow that country has begun to successfully build itself up around that child by all outward appearances .
At their request, we spent day-in-day-out subjugating monsters and bandits .
I suppose those days of being worked like a horse are about to come to an end, it’s been about a year since I came to the north, hasn’t it .
Despite the continent having a stable climate, the northern part of the country is often locked in by snow .
On those days, we would be left to our own devices to spend time leisurely locked indoors .
Lyell who stood on the frontlines, and Maria who healed his wounds were already quite intimate with each other, so they spent many such days together .

And on an ordinary day just like any other, they suddenly announced they were going to tie the knot .

I’m not so dense that I couldn’t tell what was going on .
Cortina who had just pieced things together was the one giving them the most blessings .
The problem came after .
Lyell the vanguard attacker and Maria the main healer .
It’s obvious we couldn’t ask the newlyweds out on adventures .
Even we wouldn’t ask them that . If we put them in a party we’d just fuss over them .
And so, we ended up breaking up the party with each of us going about making a new life for ourselves .
Maxwell who was a royal returned to his home country to fulfill his duties as part of the royal family .
Gadius started running an inn for newbie adventurers so he could nurture new talent .
Maria started helping out at a nearby village’s church, Lyell meanwhile moved with her to become a guard at that village .
Which left me and Cortina without a place to belong .
“I think it’s time I retired…”
“What’re you saying, you’re still so young . ”
“I don’t see what age has to do with it though?”
I started grumbling to him over drinks while killing time at his inn .

I mean, sure I’m still in my mid-20s .
I did try to lead a party of beginners, but that didn’t go as planned .
I joined up with some newbies and at Gadius’ request I was gonna show ‘em the ropes but I ended up doing everything myself .
“Well, what are the newbies going to learn if you run off and exterminate trolls and have their heads roll at your feet . ”
“The trolls were too much for them though?”
“You could’ve let them gain some experience fighting one even if they couldn’t win . Just have to stick around to make sure no one dies . ”
Gadius poured some wine into my cup and pulled another gla.s.s out to pour whiskey into .
I reached out to grab hold of my cup, but Gadius blocked me .
As expected of the defense expert .
“That’s alcohol . ”
“Ain’t it the shop’s?”
“It’s the shop’s alcohol and the shop’s alcohol is mine . ”
“Ain’t that kinda unfair eh?”
Completely ignoring my complaints, Gadius chugged the alcohol down .
BOOM! After slamming down the empty gla.s.s on the table Gadius glared at me fiercely .
“Honestly, the two of you… being too good is a problem in itself . ”
“The two… of us?”
“Cortina too!”
Did you make her do it too? Cortina can keep up with top-cla.s.s adventurers even without having legendary skills like us .
Still… having trouble doesn’t sound like her .
“What’d she do?”
“Her instructions…”
“If it’s Tina’s instruction, then they can’t be wrong can they?”
“It’s only you and Lyell that can barely keep up with her demands y’know . ”
“Ah, that, maybe…”
Cortina’s instructions are determined by the enemy’s strengths and abilities, which means they’re often pretty hard .
For a newbie, it’ll definitely be a tough hurdle to keep up with her .
“You can’t do it?”
“I don’t have any talent so I can’t ask others to follow my lead . ”
I’m not good at teaching others myself . I once tried to teach Cortina stealth techniques but it ended in failure .
Thinking about it, maybe now’s a good time .
Luckily, if I retire now I’ll have enough resources to get by until I die . Though I don’t know how long half-demons like me live .
And it’s not just the money, we all split the scales of the Evil Dragon up, so if we had to sell them, they’d bring in a pretty penny .
The Evil Dragon’s corpse is itself a treasure trove you could say .
The heart especially is said to be an ingredient for a potion of immortality .
But since we made the Evil Dragon explode from the inside out, the only salvageable parts were the skin, nails, fangs, and scales .
But just that is an incredible treasure that many countries have tried asking us to share .

But just a single scale is very strong by itself, it defends from everything except the holy sword .
We’re worried about letting something like this circulate around .
So we decided to split the materials between us .
That way if someone’s robbed the others can still use the power of the dragon to subjugate the offender .
You can expect to gain considerable power by making equipment out of these materials .
Or you could just earn a living defeating monsters .
But it doesn’t matter if I’m single, I wish I had someone to snuggle with like Lyell does .
Cortina’s face popped into my head at that moment for some reason .
The one who gave me the most h.e.l.lish orders, who relied on me to always keep them safe .
If you’re Lyell, Gadius, Maria, or Maxwell you could easily protect yourself .
But Cortina doesn’t have such power .
No, in general, she’s a pretty skilled adventurer .
Still, when it comes to the battlefields we tread on, you can’t deny she’s lacking in power .
She’s contributed her knowledge and walked with us through perilous h.e.l.lscapes .
Putting her life in my hands like that, it’s a testimony to her trust in us… no, to her trust in me .
Has there ever been another woman who trusted me as much as her…
“Anyways… she’s not that bad”
“Hm, what’s up with you?”
“It’s nothing…”
I decided to keep my decision to myself, that day I mulled over how to win her over .
