Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside (Original Japanese Version)

Red and Rit reunite with Yarandrala and she suggests they move to the Kiramin Kingdom. Yarandrala's persistence on the subject leaves them a bit confused. Afterward, everyone takes a dip in the hot spring at Tisse's recommendation.

Cardinal Ljubo takes an interest in Zoltan's airship. Meanwhile, Zoltan is celebrating the Solstice Festival and it is bustling with activity. Red and his friends are enjoying the festival, but they come across a fight between some young people.

It's morning as usual. Ruti reconsiders her ordinary daily life that she had abandoned as a hero. That morning, Tisse seemed to be acting strangely. Ruti tries to ask her about the previous night, but...

Danan, who's been undergoing medical treatment, is on the mend. Before leaving town, Danan asks to arrange a deal with Red. Red readily accepts and a special training camp with the former hero party commences.

Van and the others are headed to Zoltan. If Ruti's existence should come to light, there could be trouble, so Red and Rit decide they should take Ruti on a trip.

While Red and his companions are vacationing in St. Durant, they receive word of an ogre king that attacked the village. When Red and his friends go looking, the situation turns out to be more serious than expected.

Tisse, who accompanied Van on his quest to defeat the hill giant, is shocked by Van's twisted sense of justice. His justice is directed at the Zoltan people who welcome the hero, and a large-scale commotion develops.

In order to drive Van away from Zoltan, Red and his friends aim to appease Ljubo and Lavender. Rit is the one who volunteers to negotiate with Lavender. The method she utilizes is... love stories?!

Van and the others rush into Red's shop, accusing Esta of betrayal. Red, who encountered Van's values during their discussion, makes a bold move to make contact with him in an attempt to overturn his rigid thinking.

At Tisse's request, Albert heads off to search for a girl who has disappeared in the forest. Although she is found to be safe, Van, who has also come to rescue her, takes issue with the creature that led her astray which culminates in a skirmish.

Red, who dominates with his skill, and Van, who attacks with his tenacity, engage in a back-and-forth battle. Meanwhile, Lavender is furious at Van's predicament. A huge shadow flows from her body attacking Rit and the others.
