He becomes a hero, defeats the Demon Lord, and returns to his normal life, leaving his companions behind. However, his peace is short-lived. 

One month later, his dark elf party member Mariabelle suddenly appears at Hinata’s apartment, determined to marry him based on a promise he barely remembers.
