The Source Material

The anime is an adaptation of Zappon’s light novel series, “Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yūsha no Pātī o Oidasareta no de, Henkyo de Surō Raifu Suru Koto ni Shimashita” (Banished From the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside).

Season 2 Teaser: What to Expect

Season 2 will pick up from the 5th volume of the light novel, revolving around Yarandrala’s return. Red expressed his readiness to take the next step with Rit, with a desire to propose. His determination to discover the ideal stone for the engagement ring led him to plan a journey to the mountain range referred to as the Wall at the End of the World. Simultaneously, Yarandrala, a former member of the Hero’s party, arrived in Zoltan while searching for Rit. Despite causing some complications due to a misunderstanding, her presence seemed potentially fortunate, given that all was not well on the peaks. What had initially begun as a straightforward excursion for a ring swiftly evolved into a struggle for survival, with the fate of all life on the mountains hanging in the balance.
