How...

did things end up like this?

I came into the sauna.

I thought Gashita had come in, but it was Malika.

My hand...

touched some pounded rice cake...

Th-This is bad!

Chillin'

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

Th-This may have been an accident...

but when I consider what I've seen so far...

what awaits me...

is death!

L-Let go... then immediately get down on your knees and beg!

Now, while she's still rational!

My body won't move!

Why won't it do as I say?!

Could it be that my hand is hesitating?

Deciding between life...

and this pounded rice cake?

Mister Dariel?

Th-This is the end!

U-Um...

M-Mister Dariel...

You're going to the Center Guild, right?

What?

When I realized that we don't have much time left,

I wanted even a little bit more time to talk with you.

I've been thinking that something like this might happen.

Because you really are an amazing person, Mister Dariel!

Ever since you came here...

everything about Lux Village has changed for the better.

And since you got the mythril back...

lots of different people have started coming.

Father and everyone are always smiling.

And me, too.

This is my first time feeling this way...

and this feeling is something you gave me.

Thank you.

A-And that's why, you see!

No matter where you go...

I'll be cheering you on, with everyone else, forever!

So, give it everything you've got at Center Guild, all right?

Malika...

you're always like this, aren't you?

You're always putting on a smile for someone else's sake...

and you stifle your own feelings.

You probably think they're just selfishness,

but that isn't true.

Mister Dariel?

I'm not going.

I'm thinking of declining the offer to go to Center Guild.

But why?

When I was wandering around after I got fired, you found me...

and brought me with you.

When I had nowhere to go,

Lux Village took me in. I love this village. That's why.

Besides...

Not being able to eat your stew would make me sad.

I'm so glad.

I can still stay with you.

I'm so glad.

Malika...

And so, I found one more...

one more reason to stay in Lux Village.

Episode 6

Dariel, Enveloped by Steam.

Father!

I am he—

So, you've come, Bashbarza?

What are you doing, Father?

Rehabilitation.

This wound that the Hero gave me...

a moderate amount of movement should help it heal faster.

Come in.

I've had a meal prepared.

My son,

are you making good progress in your work with the Four Generals?

Y-Yes, sir.

I see. That is good.

Are you paying close attention to what Dariel says?

Y-Yes, sir.

When I decided that I would retire,

everyone around made quite a fuss.

The fact that I was the strongest of us

made them all the more reluctant to allow me to retire.

And the youth of the four of you made them uneasy.

However...

Dariel put a stop to all of that.

He had served the previous Four Generals perfectly as an aide. Since he was staying...

we were able to stop the flow of objections.

Do you remember what I said when I passed my position in the Four Generals to you?

"The greatest stroke of luck in my life was meeting Dariel."

"Passing such good fortune on to you..."

"is how I celebrate you taking up this position."

How is Dariel?

You aren't giving him trouble, are you?

I-I wouldn't dream of it!

Dariel is serving admirably as aide to the Four Generals!

There isn't a single thing for you to worry about, Father!

So, please, rest easy and devote your attention to your recovery.

F-Father...

Appeals from many demons have been delivered to me.

Their sons and nephews have been dismissed as aides to the Four Generals,

and they ask for my clemency!

They ask for me to intervene with you.

I didn't think that you were this stupid.

To think that you'd choose to let go of a treasure like Dariel!

Bring Dariel back here immediately!

And then beg for his forgiveness!

That is the only path remaining for you to continue in the Four Generals.

No.

If relying on trash like him is how I remain in the Four Generals...

there'd be no point.

I must achieve success through my own abilities!

I am the son of Granbarza, celebrated as the strongest in history!

Your son!

I will prove to everyone that the son of a lion is also a lion!

Why do you not try to work together?

Where are you and what are you doing right now...

Dariel?

It's rare for that girl to sleep in, isn't it?

Usually, she'd be...

Good morning!

I have to make Mister Dariel's meal!

...and yet...

Malika?

Breakfast is ready.

Oh my.

Well, well.

Aren't they getting along nicely?

I-I'm sorry I'm late!

And I'm sorry I wasn't able to help make breakfast!

A-Are you all right?

I-I'm sorry.

What's wrong, Dariel?

You look really tired.

Could it be...

you spent too much time in the sauna yesterday?

That's no good. You need to learn moderation!

Don't forget to use the water bath and take breaks, all right?

I-I'll remember that.

Yes, let's aim for the best sauna experience.

Y-Yes, sir.

Malika...

Oh, right. Dariel?

Yes?

I'm happy for you.

Have you heard of hot water masters?

Th-Thank you.

Yes, sir!

Really? What about this other thing that's popular

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

Th-This really is uncomfortable.

Does he already know?

Dariel?

Y-Yes, sir?

The herb-gathering quests have piled up again. Will you take care of them for me?

I-I'll do that.

So, that wasn't it.

Mister Dariel!

Could I ask you for a little help?

Oh. Y-Yes, ma'am!

You're such a help.

It's nothing.

Mister Dariel?

I hope you and Malika continue to get along well together.

She clearly knows exactly what happened!

It's true that this and also that happened, but...

I can't keep silent about this!

I have to hurry up and say something!

But what?

All of that?

No, no. That wouldn't be right.

This is where I should probably...

Please let me have Miss Malika.

Marriage?

Am I going to get married?

Of course I am.

You have to be a man about this, Dariel!

Dariel!

Y-Yes, sir?

We have to talk.

My wife and I are getting old.

This is your and Malika's era.

There's no mistake.

Father really does know what happened last night!

I-I have to say something before he does!

Her...

I...

Her pounded rice cakes were just too amazing.

I want you to take my place as mayor.

Huh?

What? Mayor?

You mean me?

Yes.

You're the one who took back the Mythril Mine.

You're the one who brought life back to Lux Village.

And in terms of character, no one is more qualified.

N-No, it's far too great a responsibility for me.

It's like that for everyone at first. I was like that, too.

But that's how people grow.

They continue to carry their heavy responsibilities,

and eventually their efforts bear fruit.

That's what life is.

I will be sad to leave this work,

but I will happily pass it on, if it's to you.

Father...

Taking on heavy responsibilities...

will one day bear fruit.

That's life.

All right.

Please allow me to take you up on your offer.

Of course!

But before that...

I have just one request.

Please allow me to marry Miss Malika.

I will devote everything I have to making her happy.

O-Of course...

This girl...

I had nowhere to go, and she created a place for me to belong.

Malika...

Will you marry me?

Mister Dariel!

Sting!

Come now...

They really do get along very well.

Malika!

Let's be happy, the two of us, together!

Yes!

But it isn't just two of us.

It's three.

What?

And so, I married Malika...

became the mayor of Lux Village,

and a whole year has passed.

Since then, Lux Village has grown bigger and bigger.

The processing of mythril has flourished,

and the village is even more prosperous than it was at its peak.

That's what father says.

It's all thanks to what you taught me.

Mister Smith, please keep watching over us for a long time to come.

I'm home.

Welcome back,

husband!

Hey!

Gran really is just like a tiny Malika.

His eyes are just like yours.

Gran. My son.

For his name, I borrowed a bit from someone I loved like a father.

He raised me for thirty years...

Lord Granbarza of the Four Generals.

Only a year ago, I lived among demons.

Now it feels like the distant past.

This is huge, Big Bro!

Huh?

The Hero is coming?

Yeah. I heard they're almost here.

So, guild master, is this "hero" amazing somehow?

Y-You don't know, but you were making a fuss?

The Hero, you see...

bears the duty of defeating the Demon King.

They've overcome the Center Guild's harsh trials.

Only one person can claim the title...

They are the strongest of adventurers.

From the demons' perspective, they're just murderers.

I saw him when I was an aide to the Four Generals.

He came after anyone he perceived as a threat, no matter who they were.

That bearded old man!

What would he be coming here for?

It can't be...

is he coming to deal with me, a former member of the Demon King's Army?

We can't just sit here like this!

We have to prepare to show them our hospitality!

As for greeting them...

Dariel, I'll leave it to you.

Y-Yes, sir.

They say it's the Hero.

Coming from Center Guild.

I wonder what the Hero is like.

What do I do if we have to fight to the death?

Huh?

What?

No... beard?

For accommodating our sudden visit, I cannot adequately express my gratitude.

I am the Hero, Laidy.

I will engrave your assistance deeply into my heart.

I am Sessha, a spearman.

I'm Satome! I favor the shield!

I'm the mayor, Dariel.

Is something wrong?

Oh. No.

To think that the honored Hero is a young lady... It took me by surprise.

My honored predecessor, engaged in mortal combat with a demon,

suffered grave wounds, and was retired.

So that's what happened.

Then no one here would recognize my face.

It doesn't seem like I have to worry about getting killed!

Dariel.

Are you a person who would judge others by their age or gender?

What?

Battle is not a privilege reserved only for men!

P-Please pardon my rudeness.

This Hero is scary!

Still...

To think that a country village like this held the key to defeating the Demon King.

The key to defeating the Demon King?

She's speaking of mythril weapons.

I'd like to request something made to order.

I see. So that's what they're after.

And...

Y-You're being disrespectful, Satome.

It's because this region is so remote...

that it's possible to make such a wonderfully lucky find.

Okay.

"Always speak with dignity."

"Assert dominance from the beginning."

"It's all over if they take you lightly."

"Say the opposite of what Satome does."

The Hero is using notes to cheat!

What a strange girl.

Welcome to Lux Village!

Hero, you must be tired from your long journey.

Husband, will you take little Gran?

Yes, of course.

Allow me to take your cloak.

Yes, thank you.

There, there.

Huh?

Oh. Is he curious about a young lady he's never met?

I-Is that child your son?

Y-Yes.

I-I see.

Should holding him prove taxing for you,

I could...

Does she... like children?

Yes, if you wouldn't mind holding—

Hey! Hurry up and hand him over!

She's that eager?

Now, come here.

There, there.

To think that a son of mine...

would be held by the Hero. I never imagined the day would come.

I'm looking forward to his future.

Stop that! Gran!

I'm so sorry about my son.

I-It's fine. Babies do this sort of thing.

I'm looking forward to his future.

Is he really going to be all right?

Though, I suppose, this does prove it.

He really is my son.

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