At the adventurers’ guild in the royal city of Valhalla.

A young man and a woman face each other, and a middle-aged man…

“I’m not in love with you anymore.”

This was said by Alicia, a beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed girl – his new wife, who was about 15 years younger than him.

It was just another day at the guild.

The unexpected words came out of the blue, like a bolt of lightning just passed through him.

“Haa?”

The only thing that came out of Nasser’s mouth was confusion.

In a matter of seconds, the inside of the building, which was crowded with adventurers and full of noise and bustle, became completely quiet.

The person who was told to do this was unable to say anything else, but…

However…

Nasser Virginia, was taken aback by the suddenness of the event, but quickly came to his senses and questioned his wife Alicia.

But instead, the answer came from a young man with dark hair, dark eyes, a strong body and beautiful appearance – the hero Kōji.

Nasser and the other adventurers around him are clearly different from the usual brown-haired, blue-eyed look that is common in this region. He is a beautiful and strong man who looks nothing like Nasser…….

He was laughing at Nasser.

“What? You still don’t get it, do you, old man?”

Even if Nasser was told by a hero who was about two times younger with his insulting tone, he couldn’t understand anything at all.

Nasser had already offered him a job in the guild, and that was what he said.

But that doesn’t matter now.

“What do you mean……?”

Nasser asks Alicia in an unintentionally shaky tone, but the answer received was still from  Kōji. He says it like it was nothing.

“Alicia says she’d rather have me than you.”

He then pulled Alicia into a hug and started making out with her in front of Nasser.

The bastard Kōji, of course. intertwined his fingers and held his girlfriend’s hand in front of the public

It’s unorthodox for a married woman to make out with another man infront of her husband.. For a moment……Nasser’s mind goes blank.

Alicia’s eyes are also troubled when she realises.

In a moment of clarity, Alicia’s eyes are also troubled.

But she doesn’t seem to mind, in fact she seems to be used to it.

“Oi,you two….Do you know what you’re doing!”

“We love each other, so…what?”

The face of the hero who is supposed to have a well-groomed face looks really ugly.

“I’m sorry. You…..”

Alicia is looking at the hero with an uplifted face. She says to Nasser in a little apologetic tone.

However, as soon as she started flirting with the hero. Nasser, who was getting angry, grabbed the hero’s shoulder and tried to pull it away.

──I don’t know if they love each other or not!

──She and I are married,We’re still a couple!

“A, Alicia! You know what I’m talking about!　What you’re doing is adultery…Kōji, you trespasser bastard!”

“Who’s trespassing? The reason I’m taking the trouble to declare this in the guild… Of course it’s to get rid of you, isn’t it?”

Kōji says it without hesitation.

This is the Adventurer’s Guild in Royal Capital. The central hall no less.

The guild is structured like a normal guild, with a hall, a notice board and a reception desk.

There is a tavern attached to the hall, where adventurers are busy drinking in the daytime.

There are also a few new adventurers who are being bullied…….

Yes, that’s right – as usual.

Except for the sudden declaration of an adultery & the provocation between men……

If Nasser looks at Alicia’s face, he can see that she is a bit apologetic, but her face is completely of a female.

The Alicia that Nasser knew was a more ladylike, cheerful and warm woman.

At the very least, she is not the kind of girl who would have an affair in the open…….

Adding more that, Nasser and Alicia are a married couple.

Despite their age difference, Nasser thinks they get on well. Or so he thought.

They met not so long ago.

Nasser had retired from the army after an illness caused by injuries sustained in the war, and was thinking about his future.

At the urging of his superiors, he was offered a job as a freelance adventurer in a certain adventurer’s guild made up of veterans.

Initially, Nasser was uncomfortable with the new job and had to make a living by drawing on his severance pay and savings.

But, Nasser had military experience and talent to begin with.

He improved rapidly and soon became what was known as a mid-level adventurer.

Above all, Nasser has dragons.

The most powerful of all creatures, the dragon – its summoner.

One day, on a quest sponsored by the guild, Nasser was asked to join an adventuring party of adventurers who were impressed by his abilities.

And there was Alicia.

As a novice, she was not very skilled and was a slow learner in the party.

Nasser followed her and guided her well.

Alicia was so impressed by this that she blushed and begged Nasser to join her adventuring party in the future.

Once the party went their own path, Alicia decided to ask Nasser again to party instead of going solo, Nasser had no particular reason to refuse, agree to it.

Then their adventure began, and naturally they got together and got married. ────

That was a year ago.

Nasser thought she was happy despite their age difference.

He bought a house with his savings and gradually furnished it. All while they grew their love for each other. ──── It was the kind of happy family a man can find anywhere.

“You’ve got to realise now, Ossan. You and Alicia don’t belong together.”

(TL:Ossan: Rude term to address middle-aged man)

“Don’t you dare bullshit me!!!”

In a fit of rage, Nasser strikes out at the hero Kōji.

In public.

Nasser doesn’t care if Kōji is a public figure or not.

“Oi,Oi…I’m the hero.That kind of fist works────Fu~”

As Nasser’s punch tries to slam into Kōji’s cheek. The hero didn’t bat an eyelid and smoothly avoided it.

“Kōji!” 

“Aa–Aa–Aa..You’ve done it.”

Then Kōji lurched closer and closed the gap with a flash of speed.

And then

“Did you think I wasn’t prepared for this? Idiot.”

Nasser heard him as he hit him.

The hit was enough to make Nasser feel like loss consciousness.

Somehow, Nasser managed to stay on his feet, but that was only postponed the inevitable.

“Such power ────!? But I’m ── the veteran Dragon Summoner!?? Losing to a boy who was only summoned a short time ago…!?”

Nasser was so shocked that he could not speak.

In addition to this, a number of other shocks had prevented him from reaching his full potential, and his vision had gone dark.

“Ku, not yet! I haven’t heard your true intentions yet──── Alicia!”

Alicia, at the end of Nassar’s reach, is staring at the hero and no longer looking at Nasser.

This alone is enough to cut deep into Nasser’s psyche and deal him a crushing blow.

But

“Then, all that’s left is the finishing touches.”

The hero Kōji  grins at her.

To which Alicia replied with a lustrous smile

“Yes,Kōji … I can’t wait to be with you.”

Alicia stroked her belly as she said this. She strokes it lovingly and it looks like…….

“For the sake of our boy, anyone who gets in our way needs to go.”

“Huh? Oi…… what are you talking about?”

“You’re not the most perceptive guy. While you were out adventuring, Alicia and I became more than friends.”

“!!!!”

“I’m sorry, darling. I don’t hate you. But I have fallen in love with Kōji..”

Alicia says without even looking at Nasser, focusing solely on Kōji.

“Hehe……sorry about this,old man. When I’ve defeated the Demon Lord,by that time..I’ll show you my child.”

“No wonder……!”

“It’s no wonder………!”

“No wonder you haven’t come to the dungeons with me lately.”

“No wonder you don’t want to share the same floor with me!”

“No wonder…..!”

“Now.”

“Right here, right now”

“I’m finally convinced!”

“You fucking bitch!”

“My wife, my adventurer partner, ──── the woman I loved, is no longer here.”

“How dare you speak like that to my woman!”

What Nasser did after hearing Kōji’s voice was his fists closing in on him.

But he can’t close my eyes. ────

His eyes kept looking at Alicia, the bitch, until the end.

And as Nasser’s consciousness fell into darkness.

But for him, this is only the beginning…..
