The kingdom has moved on. The king, while grateful, has little need for a hero now that the war is over. Yuusha-chan is offered a small stipend and a rundown cottage on the outskirts of town. The adventure, the thrill, the sense of purpose – all gone overnight.
Hero-chan adjusted the strap of her legendary sword, the Blade of Eternal Dawn . It felt heavier today, mostly because she had neglected to repair the leather grip after the final battle. She looked up at the sky. It was a boring shade of blue. No unnatural thunderstorms, no swirling vortexes of doom. Just clouds drifting lazily across the sun.
The story centers on Yuusha-chan, the legendary heroine who single-handedly defeated the Demon King. However, peace has made her arrogant. While she spends her days easily mopping up the remnants of the demon army, she soon finds herself plagued by disturbing and vivid nightmares .
The first chapter introduces us to Yuusha-chan (literally "Little Hero"), a young woman who has just successfully defeated the Demon Lord. After a long, grueling journey filled with battles and camaraderie, she returns to the human kingdom expecting fame, reward, and perhaps a peaceful life.
