Strongest Farmhand

"Arus. As of today, you're out of the party."

The Hero says my skill, 〈Field Cultivation〉, is worthless — dead weight against the Demon King. So they cast me out to a scrap of frontier land and toss me a deed like a coin to a beggar.

Fine by me.

Because the moment I plant a single seed on that "worthless" land, the truth of my skill finally shows itself: crops without limit, grown in an instant, every one of them the finest quality in the world. I only wanted a quiet life — good food, honest work, nobody breathing down my neck. But as my little frontier plot blooms into an impossible paradise, the hungry and the desperate start finding their way to my door… and before I know it, the kingdom that threw me away is quietly depending on the man it called useless to feed its people.

No revenge crusade. No shouting matches. Just a farmer, a bottomless field, a cheeky little companion named Kuro — and the slow, warm satisfaction of watching the people who exiled me realize exactly what they let slip through their fingers.
