HOW DO YOU STOP A HERO? Van must be convinced to leave Zoltan before he brings greater harm to this peaceful corner of the world. Changing the mind of one so zealously devoted to twisted beliefs won’t be easy, though. Red and the others decide to start by swaying Van’s companions, Lavender and Ljubo, hoping the Hero will listen to his allies. But will that be enough? Van needs someone who will get him to question his decisions and guide him to a better path...

The Secret of the Hero! After an intense battle, Red has finally managed to convince Van there’s more to being the Hero than mindlessly following his Divine Blessing. This has left Van questioning his life’s purpose, and who better to help than Red the Guide? To find answers, the two delve into the ancient elf ruins, where they come face-to-face with the truth about humanity’s strongest blessing and what happens when people stray too far from the god Demis’s chosen paths for them.

“Apothecaries have a lot of free time on their hands, huh?” “In that case, let’s just forget about work and relax!” And just like that, Red and Rit decide to play hooky from their shop to go on a riverside date, where— “hey, let’s swim!” Quality time with a princess in a swimsuit proves to be a much-needed balm to our protagonist’s heart. But not all is fun and games, as the rapid proliferation of a dangerous drug among the populace of sleepy Zoltan leads to a rash of disturbing, violent incidents...

The trouble with Van the Hero has finally passed, but Red’s still got plenty to worry about. Learning that Tanta has the Divine Blessing of the Cardinal has left Red wondering what he can do for the young boy as the Guide. But thinking in the dead of summer is pretty annoying. Why bother when he can just take a vacation on a southern island instead?

PEACEFUL ZOLTAN’S TROUBLES HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN!! In the wake of the assault on Al and his family, the young half-elf has been staying with Red and Rit for his own protection. The former adventurers try to put the boy at ease as best they can, cooking delicious meals for him and teaching him the basics of how to defend himself, but none of them know that—Meanwhile, Ruti and her party have arrived at an ancient ruin in search of a weapon left behind by the demon lord. The party presses on, exhausted by the waves of monsters blocking their path—but what they find in the depths of the ruin may not be quite what they expected...

“if only we had a medicine to draw in customers on such a cold day.” With Bighawk’s plot thwarted, the residents of Zoltan are finally returning to their peaceful lives. And not a moment too soon, because winter has come, bringing with it a wave of chilly weather—and less business for Red & Rit’s Apothecary! To remedy the cold and the lack of customers, Red sets about developing a new product, using his experience from past adventures...but this moment of quiet won’t last, as the new adventurer in town is bound to bring a lot more excitement with her!

As Red and Rit’s investigation into the mysterious False Prophet drug continues, the once-peaceful Zoltan is swept with unease. Violent incidents are becoming commonplace, and the entire region seems to be on the verge of an all-out class war! To make matters more complicated, Danan, martial artist and member of the Hero’s party, has arrived to take Red back with him—shaking Rit’s resolve! But Red has more important things to worry about. With him and Rit growing closer by the day, he’s finally made up his mind to buy...a double bed?!"

It's time for a beach trip! Red and Rit decide to take a break from running the apothecary and head to a nearby river for the day. While Red enjoys a date with a beautiful princess in a swimsuit, his former party explores the ruins of the Demon Lord's airship. As war continues to rage on the front lines, it seems everything is quiet in Zoltan, but how much longer can Red and Rit's slow life last?

A cold snap in winter leaves the usually warm Zoltan blanketed in snow,providing Red and Rit with the perfect excuse to get cozy with each other. Atthe same time, Ruti, having found a way to free herself from the restraints ofher blessing, makes her way to Zoltan in search of Red. Will this powerfullittle sister finally reunite with her beloved older brother?

A prince aboard the vessel believes his long lost mother is hiding somewhere in the area, and he refuses to leave until he finds her. Red and his friends begin the search while handling the problems caused by the imposing warship’s presence but are beset by a group of honorless assassins. Apparently, not everyone is looking forward to the queen’s return...
