A disabled man builds a life around raising a kid nobody wanted, and the show treats that as enough without apology. Five years later she comes back stronger than he ever was, and he has to learn that watching her live the life he couldn't is its own kind of victory. The real adventure was never the dungeons or the rank, it was two people learning they already had what they were looking for.
Belgrieve walks away from adventuring after a beast takes his leg, settling into a quiet life. While out gathering herbs in the forest, he comes across a baby girl left in a basket, names her Angeline and raises her as his own, and she trains alongside him. Angeline looks up to her father and his skill with the sword, and she heads to the royal capital to become an adventurer herself. There she climbs all the way to S-Rank and earns the nickname Black-Haired Valkyrie, all while bragging about her dad and inflating his deeds as the Red Ogre. Five years later, all she really wants is to go home and see him again, but assorted villains keep getting in her way. A fantasy adventure about a retired swordsman and the daughter who outgrew him.
