Iris, I'm banishing you from the party for today only.

I wonder what he's saying when he'll be signing up for the Adventurer exam in a few hours.

"Pack your bags and get out. We're going to have a meeting for the adventurer exam strategy. Outsiders are in the way."

The tone of the voice seemed too moody. It's not the tone of voice you're pointing at your friends.

What kind of joke is that?

"I'm not kidding."

The air is tight. The other members remain silent without saying anything.

"... you're not serious, are you?

"I don't want to see my face anymore. Go away."

"... yes. Hmm."

I don't ask why. Because I have an idea.

Last night, this man confessed to Iris. He offered to socialize once he had successfully passed the Adventurer exam.

Iris refused without waiting for the results of the Adventurer exam.

I didn't see it as such, and Iris couldn't afford to fall in love.

So I thought that eventually the party would be dissolved.

I thought... I thought it wasn't today. Because...

"I'm not going to be able to pass the adventurer exam.

"... I don't know."

I don't have time to look for other members anymore.

For the time being, it is said that the test may be challenged by solo. But I don't like to do that on purpose.

The exam is based on a party strategy. Solo difficulty jumps to Advanced Adventurer level.

Now that you're banished from the party, it's only natural that you won't be able to pass.

In other words, this was the same thing as being told to drop the Adventurer exam.

"You should take the exam next year. Come on, get out of here. I'm in the way."

Did this guy really like me?

I definitely don't take an impudent attitude. Rather, I didn't want this to happen, so I dared to treat it gently.

Even yesterday, I chose a careful word not to hurt him. I would never do anything to trample on his feelings.

And yet...

"Aren't you guys tough when I get out?

The man smiled with his nose.

"Ha, you're not going to be useful at all. I've only chosen you with my face since the beginning." Level 3 doesn't change whether you're here or not. "

"............!

That's why I don't like men. The same was true of the previous party. Do whatever you want, and if you refuse, throw him out.

I can't wait for next year. I have an important purpose.

Would this man change his mind if he changed the answer to yesterday's confession from No to Jesus here?

But that's exactly what my pride won't allow. I can't tell such a selfish man that I like to lie.

"Okay. But last but not least, okay?

"What is it?"

"I'm cumming!

I smacked him in the cheek.

Iris left the inn as soon as he packed his luggage.

Iris grasped his hand tightly and walked through the town with a huge crotch that seemed like a waste of ground.

My feet were heading naturally towards the reception hall. It doesn't make any sense...

I fail the Adventurer exam where it has nothing to do with my ability.

When I thought about my efforts so far, I began to cry naturally. I don't know what I've been working for...

Regrettable.... Regrettable, regrettable!

When this happens, why don't we try solo, knowing it's reckless and believing in miracles?

But... obviously, I don't want to die.

What should I do, what should I do?

Dang!

"Wap."

I bumped into someone at a corner. My nose hurts...

Iris didn't want to be seen crying and hurried to wipe his tears.

The man in black armor ran into him. I was about the same age as myself.

Black hair, golden eyes, tall and wide shoulders.

I'm not eye-catching and I'm a little scared...

"Sorry, are you okay?"

Iris tried to escape quickly, but I saw something that bothered me.

"... that"

Yeah?

"Hey, hey! Are you going to take it?

Oh, this is it.

What he had was a guide to the Venue of the Adventurer Examination.

"Yeah, I'm going to take it."

I felt something like fate.

"For the record, you haven't recruited any party members, have you?

Iris expected it to continue. But....

"What is that?

I came back at an unexpected angle.

Don't you know? Is that possible?

"Ha, ha? Why don't you know? You're taking an exam with someone, aren't you?

"... ah, what are you talking about? I'm right here."

The girl slipped her face out of the man's back.

He's a quiet kid who's not a good fit for battle anyway. A girl with fluffy linen hair. Big green eyes. She is as old as I am. My clothes are a lot dirty. It's like I've been doing it for days in the wilderness...

"Here, here..."

I'm saying something weird, but it's so cute... When her eyes met, she quickly lost her sight.

"You two?

"... is that so?

Not as much as Solo, but it's unusual for just two of us to attack. Maybe - maybe we can throw a party.

"... hey, why don't you party with me? I'll take the Adventurer exam, too. Three is better than two, right?

Hope is still there - it's too early to give up.

Iris waited with prayer for a reply.
