When I first read this it was only a chapter or two that was out.

Story goes a former sage/hero who looks like a child, lives in some mansion in the middle of nowhere with 4 maids who are some type of monster or demon. Some guy tries to rob the place with his old magic sword that's how you find out he is the former hero/sage who defeated the demon king or something like that.

it is not an isekai! The robber guy (just some scrub who dies to show who the MC and his minter maids really are) stole the sword. The sword originally belonged to the former hero/sage.

I read it on m.manganelo.com, the manga had a more serious tone to it like a Seinen, the MC was living in exile with the monster/demon maids. I am not really sure what else I can add since it was only 2 chapters released when I read it.

  • Just because it's really common, was this an isekai novel where the protagonist is actually someone from our Earth? And is it the guy robbing it who owns the sword, or the former sage/hero?

    Ah no sorry I forgot to say it is not an isekai! The robber guy (just some scrub who dies to show who the MC and his minter maids really are) stole the sword. The sword originally belonged to the former hero/sage.

    You'd have to edit the post to bump it yes, comments do not bump a post.

Since Guest hasn't elaborated on his answer, Shindou Yuusa to Maid Onee-san does match.

Front cover of Shindou Yuusa to Maid Onee-san

After defeating the Demon King and saving the world, Shion was exiled to the border. Here, the strongest Hero enjoyed his slow life with 4 capable oneesan maids.

In the first chapter of the manga, it establishes that Shion did indeed defeat the Demon King, but languishes in anonymity because royals took credit for the feat. It ends with the robber confronting him.

In the second chapter, we see the magic sword the robber wields.
