Today is the day of a generation's great game.

It's a proposal to a girlfriend who's been dating since high school.

I've been doing a lot of preparation so that I don't have to worry about the future.

There were a lot of hard times.

I started working part-time as an adventurer in my first year of high school, and I worked hard to earn money so that I wouldn't be in trouble in the future. Of course, I was also lucky and had good skills.

However, the higher the rank, the more dangerous the adventurer becomes.

Adventurers spend a lot of money, and many of them live by the day, but I saved steadily, saved enough to retire, and built a condominium for passive income.

You don't have to go on a dangerous adventure and die prematurely to make your friends sad.

I've bought a house, and I'm ready for a ring!

All that's left is a marriage proposal.

I headed to the high-end restaurant on the top floor with a reserved night view, wearing the suit I had prepared for today.

She seems to come later, so I sit down first and wait.

I told her it's a nice restaurant with a dress code, and I've arranged to rent a dress in advance.

When I imagine her in a dress, I can't help but loosen my face.

After waiting for a while, she came in with a waiter.

She is dressed in a purple dress that looks even better on her own, not a dress she rented, and has a shiny black mini bag.

I just fell in love with it.

There are no people around because it is reserved, but if there are people, the surroundings will have been fascinating.

The waiter pulls a chair and asks me to sit down, but she doesn't take a seat and looks down at me.

"Are you going to call me here and propose to me? I'm not going to marry you."

"What?"

"What a face you have. Obvious, right? What are you going to do when you marry an adventurer who has an unstable job?

I've gone to college, but I'm working a job that doesn't have anything to do with my educational background, which I can do even from a part-time job in high school. It's been a year since I became a member of society, but I wonder if there is no sense in a dating course like when I was a student.

Well, it looks like I'm trying too hard today.

It's true that when I was a student, I thought it was cool to have a boyfriend who was an adventurer, and he seemed to be able to earn more money than a part-time job at a restaurant, so I was able to go on dates better than those around me, but he wouldn't take me to a good place forever, and I didn't rank up that much, right?

It's too obvious that there is no future. There's no way I'm going to marry someone like that.

And I was proposed to by another person the other day.

I've been asked out on dates for about six months, but unlike you, it's an adult date.

I'll take you to a nice shop.

I'm an employee of the guild. And it's elite.

Unlike adventurers, guild officials are stable civil servants, and even though they are two years older than us, they already have a position.

I have a better future than you, so I decided to take it.

That's why I'm here today to say goodbye."

"Is that Kaori?"

"You don't like persistent men, do you?"

The person who called out to me was a handsome man wearing a suit.

"I was waiting outside, but they never came back. I'm sorry, I'm getting worried.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

But your fiancé might be entangled with your ex-boyfriend. You'll understand, won't you?"

Saying this, he looked down at me with condescending eyes.

He sighs and begins to proceed.

"I need to show you what I'm capable of so that I don't get stuck with you any more. It's unbearable when your precious fiancée is attacked by a brutal adventurer.

You're going to get your adventurer card out, and I'm going to cancel your registration."

The waiter, who had been pulling the chair with a rattle, made a noise but returned to standing upright. The professionals at the high-end store are amazing.

"Eh, are you sure?"

"I have the authority to do that; no problem. I also brought a terminal. Look, get it out."

Originally, the man was given the authority to issue certification permission after examination to deregister adventurers who had offered to retire and violated it, but the man who overinterpreted it did not care.

When he snatches the adventurer card I offered, he confirms the name and inserts it into the terminal to perform the operation.

He tossed me a card with a horizontal line through his name.

"Now that your authority as an adventurer is gone, you can no longer take on quests."

"You're also out of college, so why don't you change jobs with a future?" Isn't he kind enough to take that path?

Well, good luck."

With that, the two of them walked out of the restaurant.

I was jealous of the man's hand around her waist.

"Do you mind if I laugh?"

The silence was broken by the words I said to the stiffened waiter.

"Ha, Harukaze-sama, are you sure?"

"Hmm? Adventurer registration? I don't care about that. I thought it was time to retire, but I was just being held back, so it was just right.

More than that, I've been shaken. Laugh at me!

Yes! Sake for the time being!

And you, too; let's drink together! Call the manager. I've made it a reservation, so let's all go along with my sobriety with the waitress and everyone else!"

It was the busiest day since the restaurant opened.

The next day, the Adventurer's Guild is shaken.

Japan's strongest SSS rank adventurer, Zero, retires.

• • •

On that day, there was a knock in the guild leader's office in the morning.

"You can come in."

When the guild leader gives permission, the impatient-looking sub-leader enters the room and closes the door.

In the otherworldly creations that were popular a long time ago, there is a brain-muscle guild leader who is an adventurer, but because he is the head of the adventurer's guild, which is a civil servant, the room is made like the principal's office, and the answers are somewhat clerical.

"Guild Leader, as an urgent requirement, this morning we confirmed that the registration of SSS Adventurer Zero has been erased, and as a result, the Clan Twilight Tea Party has also been dismantled, and a former Twilight Tea Party member has complained."

The guild leader couldn't keep up with the subleader's report.

Zero had hinted at retirement, but the guild had persuaded him to stay.

He is only 23 years old, and it is obvious that his retirement as the head of Japan will cause problems for both the adventurers and the guild.

In fact, the reason why the clan was disbanded when he quit was because the sub-leader refused to transfer the clan leader because he couldn't organize the clan other than him, and the lower clan of the Twilight Tea Party is also going because of him.

That's how much he had unrivaled ability. Therefore, it is the only SSS in Japan.

"Kanzaki-kun, do you know who allowed Zero to retire?"

"No, I'm currently instructing you to look into it, so I'm sure you'll find out soon."

This is a more important case than mine, and I don't think Zero would act with common sense to talk to other staff members because he wants to retire. I hope it's some kind of mistake."

"Well, depending on the story, it is not just a problem for the Japan branch. Please report as soon as you know."

The sub-leader, Kanzaki, bowed and left the guild leader's room.

Guild Leader Hari Kato Katouban. He stopped the paperwork he was working on and leaned back with a sigh.

"Harukaze, why is this happening all of a sudden?"

The guild leader's moderately loud murmur did not leak out of the completely soundproof guild leader's room.

• • •

In the guild's rental conference room, 23 adventurers gathered around a round table.

Facing each other in a tense atmosphere are the former members of the Twilight Tea Party.

A clan is a group of up to 24 people for the purpose of raiding and a group that can use a clan room using dungeon stones.

The top clan in Japan is the Twilight Tea Ceremony, and which clan you belong to is registered on the adventurer card, and you can enter the clan room by holding the card over the door of transference.

However, the members who tried to enter the room this morning were unable to do so, and after contacting the guild, they found out that the clan had been dismantled.

You are a clan sub-leader who has been contacted by Naomi Itano. Naomi Itano had just finished explaining what he knew after contacting and summoning his clan members using the contact function on the adventurer card.

"The clan has been disbanded. Li-hsien Reito. You don't mean you're dead, are you?"

"Yes, if Reijin-kun dies, the leadership authority should be transferred to me, so I think the dissolution is due to Reijin-kun quitting the adventurer. He wanted to quit."

First of all, the clan leader, aka Zero of Twilight, Reito Shunfu. Harukazerei. The story begins with a confirmation of the person's safety and then proceeds to talk about the future.

Since the members of the Twilight Tea Party gathered around Zero, they decided not to rebuild the clan but to go their separate ways.

Some go solo, some form a party, and some form a new clan.

"But it's a shame that you didn't get into your private life; who knows where Leibo is?"

The person who suddenly changed the topic was a man in his 40s who was dressed roughly, with an Aloha shirt and Goro Sakai Sakaigoro.

"Yes, he said he wanted to retire as an adventurer by proposing, but that's all I've heard."

"That's all you were aiming for, Rei, and you didn't turn away when you heard that, didn't you?"

Naomi's words feature a slender rider suit with fox eyes. Meia Meia giggles and teases.

"That's not true," Naomi replies, and Meia replies, "It's boring," while sighing as if she suddenly remembered

"I think he said that he was consulting with the clan leader of the lower clan's Starry Sky restaurant, so maybe he did?"

From that opportunity, we decided to contact the Starry Sky restaurant and disbanded on this day.
