EX-Brave Wants A Quiet Life Chapter 3

Looking at the rating in the NU make me feel unmotivated *sigh*

P.S. I intended to upload this daily, but if the rating reduced the view I might upload it once every three days.

EX-Brave Return to the Village

"Somehow I made it back…."

Over the course of half year, I followed the path I had pa.s.sed and finally returned to my hometown, Hanoi1 Village.

On the way, I pa.s.sed through the villages and towns we had pa.s.sed on our way to defeat the Demon King, and everyone were smiling. Just looking at it, I realized that what I did wasn't useless. Of course they didn't realize that I was a Brave, so they treated me as an ordinary traveler. I had wanted to stay the night at an inn, but unfortunately I didn't have any money so I slept in the forest. As for food, I hunt wild beasts and cooked it together with edible wild plant then ate it.2

My hometown is deep in the mountains, on the border between countries. A typical remote village surrounded by nature. There is a fork on the way to the royal capital, but I ignore it and go into the forest and into the mountains. I arrived at the village as I relied on my faint nostalgic memories. My hometown, which I visited after a long time, was an abandoned village.

“It's more obsolete than before I started my journey”

The fields are desolate and the buildings are tattered.

"It's just right to start a new life"

I go towards my house.

"I'm back"

Of course, there's no reply. Well, that's obvious.

In the corner of the room, I found a photo that was dusty and dirty. This the photo of my family when I was young. My parents were quite famous adventurers. My father was originally the leader of chivalric order of some country, and my mother was said to have been the daughter of some n.o.ble. However, for some reasons, my father was dismissed from chivalric order, and my mother was disowned by her parents. I only know my parents as an adventurer, so hearing the story about my parents at that time doesn't really come to me.3 Life here is by no means abundant, but I was happy.

Such parents was already died. I was lonely all the time, but I was working hard for my independence while being take care of in Stella's house.4

One day, I was called by the country and given the t.i.tle of a hero, and I went on a journey with my comrades to defeat the Demon King.

And now I'm back.

The villagers had moved to the capital. Living here is inconvenient. Still, I came back to this village. This is a cozy place for me, no matter how inconvenient.
