“I’ll Catch Up Later, So Go On Ahead!” I Said, and Stayed Behind in the Dungeon for Five Years. When I Returned to the Royal Capital, for Some Reason, I Had Become a Great Criminal, So I Decided to Retire. But Outstanding People Keep Gathering Around Me Though…

The Strongest Former Hero Who Became a Great Criminal Kneads Bread from Morning Again Today──!

The hero Haruto challenged the threat that could destroy the world, together with his comrades: the Calamity Causal Dungeon – Abyss Sanctum.

To let his comrades escape, he said, “I’ll catch up later, so go on ahead──!” and disappeared.

Five years later.

He somehow survived, but what awaited him was not a hero’s welcome—

for some reason, it was the brand of a traitor to the nation.

His former comrades had grown into beautiful women,

and had begun to move forward, accepting Haruto’s death.

In these five years, everything had changed,

and there was no place left for him.

So Haruto heads to the remote town of Rothen.

There, he starts working as a baker──

but for some reason, his former comrades begin visiting the shop one after another.

Haruto wants to quietly spend the rest of his life,

but he is the former hero, the strongest in the world.

There’s no way the people around him would just leave him alone……

And thus, Haruto ends up gaining great fame in an unexpected way.

Encounters. Farewells.

This is the story of a shadow hero who lost everything,

and takes back the truth and his bonds.
