Having defeated Evil Dragon Colchis, each of us received enough money and materials to live in luxury for a lifetime.
Simultaneously, we gained fame surpassing that of royalty and titled nobles.
Excluding Maxwell who was already a royal, we were just an eyesore to the ruling class.
After all, they pushed us to restore the three northern countries destroyed by Colchis to keep us out of their power struggle.
Luckily, a newborn survivor of the royalty there has been found, and somehow that country has begun to successfully build itself up around that child by all outward appearances.
At their request, we spent day-in-day-out subjugating monsters and bandits.
I suppose those days of being worked like a horse are about to come to an end, it’s been about a year since I came to the north, hasn’t it.
Despite the continent having a stable climate, the northern part of the country is often locked in by snow.
On those days, we would be left to our own devices to spend time leisurely locked indoors.
Lyell who stood on the frontlines, and Maria who healed his wounds were already quite intimate with each other, so they spent many such days together.

I’m not so dense that I couldn’t tell what was going on.
Cortina who had just pieced things together was the one giving them the most blessings.
The problem came after.
Lyell the vanguard attacker and Maria the main healer.
It’s obvious we couldn’t ask the newlyweds out on adventures.
Even we wouldn’t ask them that. If we put them in a party we’d just fuss over them.
And so, we ended up breaking up the party with each of us going about making a new life for ourselves.
Maxwell who was a royal returned to his home country to fulfill his duties as part of the royal family.
Gadius started running an inn for newbie adventurers so he could nurture new talent.
Maria started helping out at a nearby village’s church, Lyell meanwhile moved with her to become a guard at that village.
Which left me and Cortina without a place to belong.
“I think it’s time I retired…”
“What’re you saying, you’re still so young.”
“I don’t see what age has to do with it though?”
I started grumbling to him over drinks while killing time at his inn.
“Well, what are the newbies going to learn if you run off and exterminate trolls and have their heads roll at your feet.”
“The trolls were too much for them though?”
“You could’ve let them gain some experience fighting one even if they couldn’t win. Just have to stick around to make sure no one dies.”
Gadius poured some wine into my cup and pulled another glass out to pour whiskey into.
I reached out to grab hold of my cup, but Gadius blocked me.
As expected of the defense expert.
“That’s alcohol.”
“Ain’t it the shop’s?”
“It’s the shop’s alcohol and the shop’s alcohol is mine.”
“Ain’t that kinda unfair eh?”
Completely ignoring my complaints, Gadius chugged the alcohol down.
BOOM! After slamming down the empty glass on the table Gadius glared at me fiercely.
“Honestly, the two of you… being too good is a problem in itself.”
