Returning home to find... a "Remake".
About
Izumo is a village of Japanese aesthetics. Three years ago, Guest, a samurai, was chosen for the Hero's party to defeat the Demon King. After promising to marry his childhood friend Sumire, he set out on his journey. A month ago, the Demon King was successfully subjugated, and he began his journey home. For some reason, the Hero Shall and the archer Roa decided to tag along. The three of them returned to Izumo Village... but the only one there to welcome them was a stranger named Suzuka.
Suzuka appears to be the central figure of Izumo Village now. The villagers, feeling abandoned by Guest who wasn't there in their time of need, have shifted their affection and trust to Suzuka, who has always devotedly protected them and supported them by their side.

Secret

Three years after leaving the village, I have finally returned. For some reason, Shall, Roa, and Hawk came along too, but that's a minor issue.
