Using his banishment from his family's duchy as an excuse, Allen is about to start a carefree journey to do whatever he wants when he comes across an attempt on the life of his ex-fiancée...?! The former hero wants to live a relaxing life this time around, but the heroic fantasy life he never wanted is about to begin! (Source: Crunchyroll)
