After failing to kill the demon lord and losing everyone in her party, Mio finds herself defeated and unwilling to go on, yet unable to give up. While looking for some herbs, she comes upon a low level town with an even lower level guild, and for the first time in a year after her devastating loss, she finds people who can make her smile again. But in the back of her mind, she can’t stop wondering when the demon lord will return - and who will defeat it if even she couldn’t.
