You've formed a party?

Just three of you?

How should I put this?

It kind of just happens.

Kind of?

However,

you have a saber, a wizard, and a healer.

This is quite a good party.

Right?

Armia, do you agree with this?

Yes.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

And Miss Lyra saved my life.

I told her not to take it so seriously.

But since she's so insistent on returning the favor,

so I thought it's a good idea.

I see.

That's great, Armia.

Congratulations on finding new partners.

Do your best.

Okay.

(The Healer who was Banished from his Party is in fact the Strongest)

(Episode 5: That Man Meddling is Actually Out of Anxiety)

Big brother, what are we going to do today?

Shall we continue to explore the labyrinth?

Or shall we go to the wetland or the grassland?

No.

Let's go to the guild first.

It's rare to go to the guild this early in the morning.

A lot happened yesterday,

so I forgot to exchange it for money.

It's the Hydra's magic stone.

Exactly.

And one more thing.

Narusena.

Would you like to take on a quest?

Quest?

Actually,

aside from selling magic stones,

there is another important source of income for adventurers.

I know.

We can take down monsters,

collect certain items,

and serve as an escort for someone,

to earn money, right?

Exactly. These are the quests.

If you want to continue being an adventurer,

you can't just take down monsters.

You'd better get some quests to accumulate experience.

Big brother, you're so caring.

What's wrong, Narusena?

Nothing.

Alright, let's go.

Otherwise, the guild will run away.

What?

Wait, Narusena.

By the way,

the guild won't run away.

Excuse me…

Why is the vibe weird?

I have no idea.

Is that true?

I've heard about it.

It's said that guy defeated it.

That Incompetent Raust?

I see.

What's wrong?

Narusena, you need to be careful.

It seems the news of us defeating the Hydra has spread.

Why would we be careful then?

After all, there are a lot of bad guys who want to steal magic stones.

Hey, Raust.

Do you know who I am?

I think

you are Marnell, right?

Exactly.

Can you talk to me?

Right now?

I see.

You guys.

Too many people here will make him very wary.

You guys, move away.

I want to hear the story too.

Mr. Marnell.

Tell us the details later.

Please don't mind.

After all, the Incompetent Raust

defeated the Hydra.

Anyone would be curious about how that happened.

Big brother, these people…

Mhm.

I don't think they are after the magic stone.

First of all,

I'm sorry.

What?

Why are you apologizing?

About Margulus,

the adventurers in this town

are well aware of his character.

Even so, we didn't help you either.

Knowing well you were treated unfairly,

I always made excuses for myself,

telling myself it was none of my business, and you had to figure it out on your own,

so I could avoid to make conflicts with Margulus.

Moreover,

many people in this town, just like them,

always laughed at you

for being incompetent.

So did I.

I didn't directly hurt you,

but

it shouldn't make you to forgive me that easily.

Of course.

Narusena.

This girl is really overwhelming.

Hey, girl.

Tell me,

what do you think we should do

to let Raust forgive me?

How would I know that?

However,

maybe kneeling in front of him for three days will do.

Kneel for three days?

Only three days!

How many years did he spend in pain?

Whether it's rain or spears falling from the sky,

just put your forehead to the ground

and wait for the sun to rise and set three times.

That's not a big deal.

Don't be like that, Narusena.

If you ask them to do something like that,

they will say that I am a villain.

That's true.

Moreover,

even if I really defeated the Hydra,

I am still just a flawed healer,

who only knows to use heal.

Incompetent Raust is still incompetent.

So,

can you please keep calling me that?

I see.

From now on,

if you encounter any trouble,

just tell me.

This is the magic stone from the Hydra of high difficulty.

And this…

I think it's affected by mutation.

Will this affect the acquisition price?

Of course, it will.

Will it become cheaper?

On the contrary,

it will be at least ten times higher.

If it's good,

it might even be higher.

That much?

After all, monsters rarely mutate.

Scarce goods are valuable.

However,

is this the magic stone dropped by the Hydra?

Correct.

What's wrong?

For a monster to mutate,

it requires a considerable amount of Mana.

So, unless it's deep in the labyrinth, such things usually

don't happen.

But it mutated in the marshland.

It's true that magic power can gather outside the labyrinth.

But it's hard to imagine

that there's enough of it to mutate a monster.

Same thing happened before.

We met a Half-orc wandering on the upper level.

Maybe something

happened in the labyrinth.

Yes.

Because other adventurers have mentioned the similar things.

I am quite worried.

For this kind of situation,

can't the guild do something?

Right.

You should send a team to investigate.

What happened?

Mr. Hansam.

Well…

These two adventurers have a small request.

If you have something to say, please tell me directly.

There are mid-level monsters running to the upper level.

And a monster mutated outside the labyrinth.

These are indeed very rare.

But it has happened before.

We don't have that time

to deal with such minor issues one by one.

But,

if you left them unattended, adventurers might get injured.

In case…

Since one chooses to become an adventurer,

they should be well aware of the dangers of this profession?

To make people understand the danger of this,

I think the guild should at least give a little reminder.

Well, let me give you a piece of advice.

Since you are so scared,

why not leave this town?

Raust.

What's wrong with this guy?

Well, there's nothing we can do about it.

As he said,

the guild is indeed busy every day.

No.

I'm mad at him for treating you like that.

How dare he ask you to leave the town!

What's wrong with him?

Mr. Hansam is just that kind of person.

Do you know who the branch president here is?

Well,

it's Mr. Mist, right?

Although I've never met him.

Even us employees

seldom see him.

Why is that?

Let me tell you.

Actually, he is very old now.

In other words, he is really too old,

so he can only stay in the branch president's office.

And then,

the one who is in charge of this branch in his place

is Mr. Hansam.

Then he must be very competent.

He is indeed very competent at work.

However,

he has high standards for the people under him.

He won't let go of even the smallest mistake.

He will correct us strictly.

So we employees are all afraid of him.

That's exactly how I think he is.

Well, Amherst.

I want to ask you a favor.

All the quests available

are here.

Collecting herbs,

and searching for missing adventurers.

What is this?

I want to fish in the underground lake inside the labyrinth,

so please escort me there.

Does it also count as an adventurer's job?

Oh my.

You've started to complain too, Narusena.

However,

as long as there is a reward,

this is a job then.

But

whether to accept it

is up to you.

This is…

This is a quest to take down a monster.

This one. This is what I've been looking for.

Well,

I don't recommend you take that quest.

Why?

I heard there's a phoenix

lurking around the mid-level teleportation circle,

so the guild is offering so much money.

Although it's a very lucrative quest.

But it is suicidal that only a healer and a martial artist

to challenge the phoenix.

Is that so?

After all, it's a monster that can fly.

If we can't perform long-range attacks,

it might be difficult to deal with.

I see.

If you want to take on the phoenix quest,

your party must include a saber, a wizard,

and a healer capable of area healing.

A saber, a wizard, and a healer.

- We got them. - Indeed.

(The Healer who was Banished from his Party is in fact the Strongest)

That's the situation.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Sounds good.

Since you want to monitor Raust,

joining his party is just as you wish, isn't it?

What do you think, Armia?

If you two think it's okay, then I'm okay.

However, Mr. Raust,

are you really willing to form a party with me?

Of course.

I know what you're capable of.

Welcome to join us.

However,

I've done that to you before.

Now that you know your mistake,

I think you won't do it again in the future, right?

Alright.

Raust has said so.

Let's form a party with him.

Okay.

Then,

let's set out tomorrow morning.

Right,

should we submit the application to the guild first?

Let me handle that.

Then we

go buy some necessary equipment.

Okay.

Where are we going to?

To the potion shop.

Compared to only using heal,

combining it with potions can heal burns faster.

Big brother, you really are well-learned!

After all, I am the Healer.

I do know something.

No, it's not just about healing.

Got you, Naru.

Miss Ralma.

Why are you here?

Oh my.

You threw a punch at me who you haven't seen in years,

and then asked why I am here.

You're really polite.

Because you suddenly hugged me.

Is that so?

Geez.

What are you doing in a place like this?

Naru, have you forgotten?

I am a top-notch Enchanter and Adventurer.

Moreover, I am the Fire God who can instantly quiet a crying child,

(Fire God) Moreover, I am the Fire God who can instantly quiet a crying child,

Miss Ralma.

It shouldn't be any surprise

that I'm in the city of the labyrinth.

It was my father, right?

Well, you know that very well.

The lovely only daughter suddenly ran away from home,

so he asked me to come and check on you.

How could I refuse?

So,

the one who made you run away from home…

Raust?

Long time no see, Master.

Master?

Although it wasn't for a long time,

I received training from her.

But my disciple really lacks innate talent.

Narusena, how do you know my master?

Miss Ralma and my father are old friends.

Exactly.

When Naru was this little...

- She is your Master? - I knew her.

The world is surprisingly small.

Hey, you two!

Don't ignore me.

Well, Raust.

Next,

I'm going to talk to Naru about her family affairs.

Could you please step aside for a moment?

No way.

What?

Narusena and I are partners.

I am not an outsider.

Moreover…

Moreover?

Narusena's father

might ask you

to take her back.

So?

Do you think you can stop me?

My foolish disciple!

Want to try?

What?

You've become quite impressive.

I've suffered a lot because of that magic.

Interesting.

Alright then.

I allow you to stay, my foolish disciple.

Big brother, this is a misunderstanding.

Miss Ralma.

I didn't run away from home.

But I left in a rush,

so I didn't have a chance to properly explain it to my parents.

But,

I did leave a letter for them.

What did you write in the letter?

Big brother, rest assured.

I told them in the letter

that I was going to find you

and asked them not to worry.

A daughter in the prime of her life

calling a stranger man big brother,

saying she's going to find him and telling them not to worry.

It's not okay, Narusena.

Is that so?

Anyway,

why did you suddenly leave?

Because big brother…

Me?

How could I possibly say it?

Since that day

I've had someone

constantly watching over big brother.

Knowing that he was kicked out of Lightning Sword,

I thought I couldn't miss this chance

(Recruiting Party Members) and left home right away.

I absolutely can't tell him about this.

Narusena.

Even though you may not know how to face your father right now,

I think it's better for you to go home.

What?

After all, to become an adventurer,

you need your parents' consent.

So…

Big brother,

are you okay without me?

What?

No, I didn't mean it.

But if my father doesn't allow me to be an adventurer,

I might not be able to come back.

Then I can't be with you,

big brother.

He didn't ask for you to go back.

Your father has no objection to you being an adventurer.

It's just that they're worried about you leaving home so suddenly

and want to know if you are doing well.

Although

he did say

to have me take you back if it's too dangerous.

But I'll tell him all about it.

Is that really okay?

Of course, leave it to me.

Hey, my foolish disciple.

I'm thirsty.

Want some water?

You fool. Wine. Bring me some wine.

Wine? You can't handle your liquor.

Enough talking and go.

Oh my. What a youth.

You left your family and rushed to him,

yet he acts like he doesn't need your help, which makes you feel upset, right?

After all, he is very competent.

Is that so?

When he was with me, he was quite incompetent.

That's not true.

He has the ability to heal

and to fight on the front line.

Moreover, he knows a lot about traps and poisons,

and even knows how to handle the interpersonal relationship.

After all, someone and I have taught him well about these.

But, what I admire the most is

that he always thinks of others.

He puts others before himself.

So does he today.

He went to negotiate a quest for me.

I think he must hope

that I can fight in a party with sabers or wizards more often

to accumulate more experience.

So that even if he is not with me one day,

I can still make a living.

I was the one

who came to this town to save him,

yet

I keep receiving his help.

I have become

his burden.

I don't know what Raust thinks of you,

but he has also changed a lot.

What?

At least,

he never showed that look before.

Now he even dares to talk back to me for someone.

He's completely turned into a good man.

My foolish disciple.

He's the way he is

because of you, Naru.

Because of me?

Was it me who's changed him?

So,

spend more time with him.

Then, big brother,

let's go have a strategy meeting.

It's not like me

to be so nosy.

Oh my.

Then,

it's time to get down to business.

Let me see

what you are up to,

Mr. Mist.

Is the phoenix very powerful?

It is indeed powerful.

Raust, are you okay?

Don't worry.

I'm with him.

That makes me even more worried.

Why?

Take care.
