The pop, who used to be the hero, started a slow life as a blacksmith.

Heiji was once an ordinary salaryman until he was abruptly summoned to another world as a "decorative hero," lacking any unique skills or special abilities. After dutifully fulfilling his role and eventually retiring from the hero's path, he decided to embrace a quiet second chapter. Now forty years old, the former hero trades his legendary title for an apron, opening a humble blacksmith shop to forge a peaceful new life. His tranquil days at the forge soon gain delightful company when Cruel, a dragon girl, and Sue, a white wolf girl, join him in his workshop. Together, the unlikely trio settles into a warm, heartwarming routine, enjoying the simple pleasures of their shared slow life. However, Heiji’s departure has not gone unnoticed by the realm he left behind. Back at the royal palace, officials begin to realize that the quality of newly produced weapons has noticeably declined without his presence. As the kingdom struggles with his absence, the aging hero remains blissfully focused on his craft, proving that true happiness lies not in saving the world, but in the gentle rhythm of a well-earned retirement.
