Synopsis
Heroes return home after defeating Demon King; Nina hides anxiety about changed world and acceptance.
The four heroes are on their way home after their long journey to defeat the Demon King. Led by the talkative mage of the group, Nina, they head to the other heroes' hometown of Pocca. On the journey home, she reminisces about her past as a stray orphan and the family she found among her fellow adventurers. However, despite the warm atmosphere on the surface, Nina carries a heavy heart as she thinks about the villagers' reactions to their long-awaited return. The weight of their homecoming brings with it the uncertainty of how their world has changed during their absence, and what it means to return as different people than when they left.
