Airent thought retirement was going well.

The legendary swordsman had lost a leg, opened a small academy in the countryside, and was finally enjoying a peaceful life far away from monsters, politics, and trouble.

Then his disciples came back.

Three years ago, they left as talented young women chasing their futures. Now they've returned carrying children, attracting dangerous enemies, and acting far stranger than he remembers.

Fortunately, the children aren't what they seem.

Unfortunately, neither are his disciples.

Between a mysterious curse, a cult that refuses to leave them alone, and a certain disciple whose feelings have become alarmingly intense, Airent's quiet retirement is rapidly becoming the busiest period of his life.
