It's been 78 years since the heroes defeated the Demon King. Few humans remember it and those that do were still children at the time. It's easy for people who have no personal experience to look at a pretty, eloquent diplomat and think "the old stories must have been exaggerated."
Oh man, I feel you Freiren. You just want to kick back and relax and the next thing you know they're throwing you a parade and expecting you to fight demons. If I had a nickel for every time that's happened to me...
That was a really good ending. It went pretty far off the rails near the end (which is a SUPER weird thing to say about this series) but these last few chapters were really great.
Oh wow. How did I miss this the first time around? I've been following this guy on Pixiv for ages but I didn't realize anyone had translated any of his stuff.
