It had been two weeks since the Demon Subjugation Quest, defeating the Demon Lord and sparing the demons that they've failed to see at the war near the Demon Lord's castle.
Everyone was celebrating as the Heroes arrived a week earlier than Jayson, who had to travel by foot and then by carriage from Khan to Polo and then finally heading to the capital Hestia.
It had taken him a week to cross the mountains around the Jarius lake, as they only reached the castle by boats and rafts that had already been sunk by whoever.
He was just alone and surviving with just dried meat, his feelings were not the only things that became bitter.
[Receptionist]: "Y-You're from the party called "Dawn" that went to the Demon Lord Subjugation Quest! You're alive!"
[Jayson]: "Indeed. I'm the only one left alive of my party."
