Set in a fantasy world where defeating the Demon Lord is the ultimate calling for aspiring heroes, Raul Chaser had dedicated himself to that very dream. He trained hard with one goal in mind: passing the Hero certification exam. But fate had other plans — the Demon Lord was vanquished by someone else right before Raul ever got his chance. With his lifelong ambition suddenly rendered meaningless, Raul finds himself working an ordinary job at a magic goods shop in the capital, trying to make peace with a future he never imagined for himself. His quiet, uneventful routine takes an unexpected turn when a peculiar young woman walks in looking for part-time work. Her name is Fino Bloodstone, and her résumé lists her previous occupation as "Heir to the Demon Lord." What unfolds is a lighthearted workplace comedy following the unlikely pairing of a former hero-in-training and the daughter of the very Demon Lord who upended his dreams.
