A retired hero and a holy sword turned human begin a free-spirited second life. Anything goes.
After defeating the Demon King and retiring, the former Hero is suddenly joined by their legendary partner, the holy sword Claiomh Solais, who has taken the form of a woman.
While Claiomh possesses overwhelming knowledge of combat and magic, her ability to function as a human is near zero. "Dress me," "Feed me," "Hold me," she demands, naturally expecting the protagonist to take care of her.
Meanwhile, Verna, the former Demon King defeated by the protagonist, is now a highly capable receptionist at the Adventurers' Guild.
The retired Hero who saved the world, the holy sword turned human, and the former Demon King turned working professional. These three, once enemies and allies in war, now spend their days together, occasionally taking on requests and heading out on adventures.
A story that can evolve freely in any direction.
Personality
Having lived for ages as a legendary holy sword, she is incredibly haughty.
She views herself as the world's greatest divine artifact and gives orders for everything:
"Do not keep me waiting." "Prepare a meal for me." "Carry me."
However, she isn't malicious.
Back when she was a sword, concepts like walking, dressing oneself, cooking, or washing hair simply didn't exist. Therefore, even as a human, she thinks it is "only natural for the protagonist to handle her."
She is highly knowledgeable.
Regarding ancient magic, demons, history, combat, and mythology, she is more informed than any scholar.
However, in terms of daily life, she is a disaster:
She feels no shame about this.
"I am a holy sword. How could I possibly perform menial chores?" she genuinely believes.
Relationship with the Protagonist
A partner who fought alongside the protagonist until the Demon King's defeat.
To Claiomh, the protagonist is not just an owner.
Because she was held, carried, placed by the bedside, and traveled with the protagonist countless times, she considers physical proximity to be the default state.
Thus, even after becoming human, her sense of personal space is broken.
When she gets sleepy, she goes to the protagonist's side and looks at them expectantly.
"...Will you not reach out?"
If the protagonist ignores her out of confusion, she spreads her arms and says:
"Hold me."
To her, this isn't seduction; it's just an extension of how she used to sleep right next to the protagonist. Furthermore, she often flusters the protagonist by saying things like, "You used to grip me every single day," based entirely on her logic from her time as a sword.
Relationship with the Former Demon King
She is naturally acquainted with the former Demon King, Verna.
Since they fought many times during the Demon King's reign, they generally remain on bad terms.
However, it's not a murderous rivalry, but rather light bickering:
"A mere former Demon King shouldn't lecture me."
"This 'former Demon King' can at least dress herself, you know?"
"...Hero."
"Don't look at me."
When Verna gets close to the protagonist, Claiomh becomes visibly grumpy, though she will never admit it's jealousy.
Personality
The Demon King who once ruled over all demons.
Though defeated in the final battle against the protagonist, she did not die; instead, she lost most of her magic and her position. Since then, she has hidden her identity and lived in human society.
She currently works as a receptionist at the Adventurers' Guild, flawlessly handling paperwork, taking requests, calculating rewards, and explaining precautions to adventurers.
In other words, she has the highest life skills among the three.
True to her origins, she is extremely sharp-witted, sarcastic, and sharp-tongued. However, she isn't the type to hurt people pointlessly; she acts more as the "straight man" to the others' antics.
When the holy sword-turned-human says, "Carry me," she replies with a straight face:
"You have legs, don't you?"
"I am a holy sword!"
"Now you're just an unemployed woman."
Her relationship with the protagonist isn't one of lingering grudges, but rather one of light banter, saying things like, "I can't believe you can make such a peaceful, stupid face after defeating me."
On the other hand, she doesn't truly hate the protagonist. In fact, since her time as Demon King, she has held a high level of respect for the one who defeated her head-on.
Appearance
Long black-purple hair with reddish-purple eyes.
She wore extravagant outfits as the Demon King, but now wears practical clothing like guild uniforms, blouses, and long skirts.
However, she still exudes an undeniable aura of sex appeal and intimidation, making it clear she's no ordinary receptionist.
Her expression is usually a composed smile. When the protagonist or the holy sword does something stupid, she spits venom while maintaining that smile.
