I'm... fired?

That's correct, Dark Soldier Dariel.

Does that mean I'm relieved from my duties

as an assistant to the Four Generals, Lord Bashbarza?

No. You're so dull, you imbecile.

Not as an assistant to the Four Generals...

You're fired from the Demon King's Army.

You're truly dull.

That's why you got fired.

This is why I loathe inferior bloodlines.

Dariel, you hold the lowest of the low ranks in the Demon King's Army.

It was a mistake that someone like you

was ever assigned to be the assistant to the Four Generals.

More importantly...

You can't use any magic, can you?

Not since you were a child.

You couldn't even do this.

A demon like that is garbage.

If I may!

I have a mission that was entrusted to me

from the one of the former Four Generals, Lord Granbarza!

My father has already retired.

In the new Demon King's Army, there is no place for a demon who can't wield magic.

Very well.

I, Dark Soldier Dariel, hereby take my leave.

What the Four Generals said was true.

Since ancient times, demons have fought against humans.

In terms of appearance, nothing distinguishes us demons from the human race.

Our only difference is the ability to use magic.

And even though I'm a demon, I can't use magic.

In short, I am useless.

Hello there, Dark Soldier Dariel.

Are you going about your rounds?

The lowest ranks must have it hard.

No, Rizet.

I'm just "Dariel" now.

What?

Episode 1

Dariel Gets Fired.

Well, then, what should I do now?

I've done nothing but work for the Demon King's Army for all 32 years of my life.

Finding a new way to live at this point is...

Anyhow...

Where am I?

How many days have I been wandering around?

I'm going to die before I start my new life.

They're white, huh?

Is she being chased?

Please, run!

I might be powerless, but it's a soldier's duty to protect a lady!

A demon with magic could burn him up in an instant.

But I can't even wield basic fire magic!

Then, I can at least ram myself into it!

But I'm too hungry to have any strength...

This is a human weapon!

Having to rely on a weapon made by humans

is a disgrace for a soldier of the Demon King's Army, but...

I suppose none of that matters anymore.

Um, what did the stance look like again?

No, more like this?

Wait, was it on this side?

I only copied a move I saw a hero use in the past,

but I didn't expect it to work so well!

Anyhow, I beat that monkey!

Man, some blood splashed right on me...

E-Excuse me!

Thank you so much for your help!

You fought just like the last hero, who was hailed as the strongest in history!

It's no compliment to say a demon fought like a hero!

So that was hers.

If she's carrying a weapon, that means...

Getting involved with humans is dangerous!

I'd better run before things get too complicated.

Hold on!

C-Could you please come to my village?

I'd like to thank you properly!

With a tasty meal, for example.

I suppose there's no harm in that.

This is Lux Village, where I live.

Let me take you to my house.

I'm her father.

I'm her mother.

I apologize for not introducing myself sooner.

My name is Malika.

I... I'm Dariel.

This is a human village.

Which means I'm in the middle of enemy territory!

If they find out I'm a demon, they'll kill me!

I must be careful.

So... why were you in the forest, Dariel?

I knew that question was coming!

Well, um...

Actually, my former employer's son fired me after he took over the family business.

I was living in company lodgings, so I had to leave right away,

and that's why I was wandering around.

This should fool them—

That can't be right!

Huh?!

Because you are a nice person, Dariel.

You're an amazing person who risked his own life

to save a total stranger like me.

If I had been there, I would've punched that son in the face!

T-That's really not necessary—

Dariel!

Yes?!

Since you need a place to go, how would you like to live in this village?

What?!

We have a lot of empty rooms here!

N-No, just a meal is more than enough—

It's okay with you, right, Dad?

Why not?

Our village is always looking for more residents.

Someone who's strong enough to beat a monster is always welcome!

This family needs to learn to be more cautious!

You don't have anywhere to go, right?

That's correct, but I'm actually your enemy!

I'll be in danger if they discover my identity, so it's—

What does my life even mean at this point?

If there's a place that needs me,

then shouldn't I answer that call with everything I have?

Very well.

I shall be in your care.

Dariel...

But may I have something to eat first?

Oh my.

I'm sorry!

I'll have something ready right away!

Starting from today, this is going to be my nest.

At the Demon King's castle, I was always in the shared room.

Dariel?

Malika?

Um...

Thank you for everything today.

Oh, no problem.

I've...

always been the one people rely on,

so I've never been protected by a man before.

It made me very happy.

That's all I wanted to tell you!

Good night!

A demon helping a human girl, huh?

That's so strange.

A job for me?

Yes.

If I could be of any help...

I didn't mention this,

but I'm actually this village's guild master.

I'd like for you to become an adventurer.

An adventurer registers with the guild,

defeats monsters, collects herbs, and—

Aren't there any other jobs?!

Eh?

Like... f-field work or something?

What are you on about? With your physique?!

Besides, registering is simple.

So this is it!

I've heard about this ritual! Only humans can successfully register with a guild!

I remember hearing about spies who failed the ritual

and came back wrapped up in bandages!

Ouch!

My back!

Dariel, are you all right?!

I wonder if maybe I hurt myself fighting that monkey!

I need to escape!

At this rate, they'll find out I'm a demon!

Malika! Help him!

Yes!

No, no, there's no need—

Huh?

Ouch!

O-Oh no!

Now they'll see that I'm a de—

What's this?

It's hot!

This is...

Registration complete.

Good job.

Huh?

No way...

I grew up among demons, so I never doubted that I was one, too.

But I was actually a human all along?!

Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

Long ago, I was found by Lord Granbarza, formerly of the Four Generals,

and I worked as a soldier in the Demon King's Army.

However, I was suddenly fired.

Now that I'm a rootless vagabond, I'm staying in this village...

and living as a human.

Well then, Dariel.

Let's begin my lecture about becoming an adventurer.

Please be careful.

My father used to be an adventurer back in the day.

We'll start with how to handle aura.

"Aura"?

Aura is something all human beings are born with.

An adventurer can infuse it in their weapon to fight.

Pick a weapon you like from here.

O-Okay!

A sword, huh?

Very good.

This reminds me...

It's like the image training Lord Granbarza taught me to be aware of magic.

I couldn't feel anything back then.

But now...

Now, let's check out your type.

There are four different types.

Hit

Protect

Sting

Slash

The best choice of weapon for an adventurer

depends on its compatibility with their aura.

Let's start with Slash.

SLASH

SLASH

Try and Slash this lumber.

O-Okay.

But I've never held a sword in my life, you know?

It's a little too big for a beginner like me!

Dariel!

I'm rooting for you!

Okay!

There's no need to cut all the way through it.

If the blade goes in halfway, I'd say Slash is your type.

Halfway, huh?

This is... the power of aura?

Wow...

That's unbelievable.

STING

STING

Well, let's try Sting next.

The bow and arrow is amazing...

Dariel!

Your shot went right through that apple!

It's hard to believe that someone could be blessed with two talents so exceptional.

You're not bad, young man.

HIT

HIT

Next up is Hit!

This is impossible...

What did my 30-year career as an adventurer even mean?

I'm s-sorry!

Pick up that shield, you punk!

PROTECT

PROTECT

Wait, hold on!

Sir, that hammer is made of iron, isn't it?!

My shield is made of wood, y'know!

He's gonna kill me!

Die!

Huh?

Wha... No way!

Did I just repel it with this?

Did I crushing iron with wood?!

Are you... Are you okay?!

Long story short,

Slash

Sting

Hit

Protect

you possess perfect aura of all four types.

Is that something rare?

It's beyond rare!

I've never seen anything like it!

And I didn't have an inch of magic in me. That's so strange.

You know what, Dariel?

Perhaps you're meant to spread your wings in a much bigger world.

It would be selfish of us

to hold someone of your status back in a village like this.

Center Guild is a top organization any adventurer would dream of joining.

You're more than qualified to join it.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to write a letter of recommendation.

Me, going to a place everyone else dreams about?

Thank you.

But...

You gave me a place to stay when I had nowhere to go.

I'd like to repay you for that favor.

If possible, I'd like to stay in Lux Village.

I know it's a selfish thing to ask.

No, not at all!

This is the right decision.

My second life will start right here!

And so, here's the new adventurer, Dariel.

So if you have any quests for him, just come to me, the village mayor.

I didn't know he was such a big deal.

Thank you for the introduction. I'm Dariel.

I'll do my best to become a real part of this village.

He's so polite.

I heard he was an outsider, so I was worried at first...

He's very easy on the eyes.

Good, I'm off to a good start.

I'll just keep this up.

Hmph! I don't like it.

An adventurer?

Are you sure an old geezer like this is up to the job?

"Geezer"?!

I mean, I am past 30, but...

Stop it, Gashita.

To you, he's a fellow new adventurer.

"Fellow adventurer"?

Dariel, he is an adventurer, just like you.

What's your rank?

Rank?

Your adventurer rank!

O-Oh...

You're E-ranked?!

That's the lowest one!

And yours, if I may ask?

I'm D-ranked.

You'd better respect your betters!

Don't get in my way if our paths happen to cross during quests!

I'm sorry. He's pretty full of himself.

He's the only adventurer from this village,

so he thinks he's doing something special.

But your presence might inspire Gashita to change his ways.

I'm counting on you on that front as well.

Should you be expecting so much from a lowly E-rank adventurer?

Let's get your first assignment.

I'd like you to collect some medicinal herbs.

We have piles of these requests.

Gashita refuses to take them.

Very well. I'll accept them, then.

Thank you!

But don't let your guard down.

Right now, there's a violent monster in the forest.

A monster?

Gashita accepted that assignment half a month ago,

but he hasn't been able to beat it yet.

This is the monster Dariel defeated, isn't it?

I... I'm sorry.

Wow, you're amazing, Dariel!

My first job as an adventurer was literally complete before I knew it.

Just what I'd expect from someone like you!

I knew you were strong!

You're amazing!

That monkey...

Next time on Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army...
