Who Killed the Hero?
誰が勇者を殺したか
Synopsis
Former companions recount their legendary Hero's story, revealing the man behind the savior's burden.
Four years have passed since the Demon Lord was defeated and the kingdom entered an era of peace. In celebration of this new age, the royal court has commissioned a chronicle of the great Hero who led the victory, sending scribes to record the memories of his legendary companions: Leon the Sword Saint, Maria the Holy Maiden, and Solon the Sage. As these three former party members share their tales of past adventures and the bonds they forged with their leader, their recollections begin to paint a complex portrait of the man behind the legend. Through their intertwining narratives, the chronicle promises to reveal not just the Hero's celebrated deeds, but the deeper truths of what it means to carry the burden of being a savior.
