Hayato goes home

The hero Hayato defeats a sandy monster and the goddess Parion sends him back home. Satou almost has his secret strength revealed, but Hayato assumes Satou has a good reason to keep it hidden.

This is interesting in that this volume appears to be leading the story towards a different conclusion than the web novel. Having dealt with the geist sage, already, this volume combines elements of Hayato in the Weasel kingdom dungeon arc but set in the Parion province conspiracy story. There's definitely more of a focus on fighting rather than the normal slice-of-life and the laid back adventuring style and a surprising amount of blood and gore. This felt rather different from the normal omnipotent/benevolent Saitou aiding comrades from the shadows or using his hero disguise to conclude things and he seems to make his acquaintances work for their victory more.

I liked it well enough, but this is more of a 3.5/5. I like seeing what the characters are up to, but this didn't have the upbeat guilty pleasure read feeling of much of the previous novels.

A fun entertaining addition to the series focussing more on action of the whole team (and that of the other hero) than crafting or the slice-of-life that is also part of this story. I read these books because of the characters, and volume 20 did not disappoint. It is also good to see that a character honestly and consistently tries to keep a low profile, being very willing to take a support role, and still is slowly failing at it because those around them are not blind. One complaint is though in the afterword, author, you can finish a series. Bragging that despite finishing the WN you will still be expanding the actual LNs is not necessary a good thing, although admittedly, this volume was a good one. All in all, a good read.
