The Shadow Hero’s Everyday Life
~The Strongest Agent who Worked in the Dark, Behind the Scenes of the Hero.
Since the Organization was Disbanded,
I’ll Hide my True Identity and Enjoy a Normal Person’s Everyday Life~
Author: Yuusaku Sakaishi
Illustrator : TYONE
The Hero and Demon King reincarnate repeatedly and fight for survival and supremacy, in what is known as the “Great Hero-Demon War”.
That the Hero defeated the Demon King in the Fourth Great War as well…is the reality known by the public.
The true hero who defeated the Demon King was the Shadow Agent who would exterminate any enemy if requested, Tweight.
Though he is an unsung hero, Tweight desires to live a peaceful life after the Great War.
However, the world won’t be at peace just because the Demon King has been defeated.
And in this yet volatile world,
Tweight will once again hunt down the darkness to protect his everyday life!

Other Notes:
The chapter numbers for the Web Novel Equivalents are based on how I number them, so the Prologue and Epilogue aren’t included in the numbering.
I haven’t completely read through the Light Novels yet, so I’ll update this page with the changes as I go.
For the illustrations, I tried to name each character from front to back, then right to left.
I won’t be posting the illustrations here, as my copies of the Light Novel are physical, so they won’t be high-quality if I take a picture of them and post it here. You can see the coloured illustrations on the trial reader at BookWalker (the Trial Reading button is on the right of the Purchase button), so I’ll try to translate the dialogue for each.
Also, there are official Romanizations of the characters’ names in the Character Data sections. If this series continues, I will continue to use the names I’ve been using (unless you guys like the official names better), but I’ll show a comparison below for reference.
