The Healer Banished From The Party, In Fact, Is The Strongest

Amherst, smiling at me.

I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

I hadn't expected Amherst to be there.

"......, you're still in the labyrinth city?

I muttered to myself.

It's not that I don't think about it, but I'm only thinking about myself.

This is the impression that I have of Amherst, and for that reason I knew that I would always run away if the guild officials tried to seduce me.

As if to tell me that my imagination was off, Amherst's face contorted greatly.

There was no way I was going to follow such an unthinking escape!　A plan that involves a top-notch adventurer who has conquered two known labyrinths and a reinforced magical beast is not very well thought out.

Amherst easily pointed out the rough edges of the plan.

I was surprised by his appearance, but I listened to him honestly.

And even if you do manage to escape, you'll end up being discarded by the regular guild staff. That's what the guild officials always do.

I thought as I looked at Amherst, who had finished speaking so proudly.

Amherst has changed since then.

Amherst's knowledge about top-notch adventurers and magical beasts.

It's something that can only be understood through proper research.

It's a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

Before ......, Amherst was no different from those guild employees.

He was educated and wise, but because he was proud of it, his vision became narrow.

He assumes that this is the way it should be and does things based on that.

Therefore, the moment he makes a mistake, even the most genius schemes will fall apart.

Amherst, who believed the words of an adventurer who ridiculed Raust as incompetent and ended up losing everything, is the embodiment of this.

Having seen him up close, I was able to better understand the change in Amherst as he stood before me.

It was as if he had lost everything and had to relearn it.

I can't tell if he did it because he wanted to or because he was in an environment where he couldn't help it.

In any case, I'm inwardly impressed by the fact that my abilities may have improved dramatically.

As if reading my inner thoughts, Amherst smiles and opens his mouth.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I've had my share of lousy behavior from guild officials. ...... Now that I think about it, I can't believe I did it in such a lousy way.

The next thing I know, I realize that I'm still the same person on the inside.

I'm really sorry, I was out of my mind at that time. No, you can't apologize for that.

Amherst looked down as he said this.

However, I did not miss the fact that his eyes were looking at me coldly.

Having been framed once before, I could understand what Amherst was thinking with those eyes.

It was as if he was calculating how to get people to do what he wanted.

So, I want to make amends at least. You're the central figure of the labyrinth city now, aren't you?　If so, do me a favor. I want you to let me work for you.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I want to help you. Of course, I don't expect you to forgive me for this!　But I want to make amends to you in some small way. ......

"And what do you want?

I interrupted Amherst's words and asked him.

At that moment, Amherst's expression was slightly disturbed.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

"Oh no, ......!　I just wanted to make amends!

I just want to make amends!" "Then I'm not going to be able to forgive you, so will you please leave the labyrinth city immediately?

"......!

This time, Amherst's expression completely collapsed at the words.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Looking at it, I let out an involuntary sigh.

I'm not a fan of this kind of mimicry. Why don't you start with that face?

"...... are you kicking me out of the labyrinth city?

No, I'm not. No. That's just a lie to throw off your cover, of course.

Amherst's expression grew even more bitter at my words.

But I ignore it and ask Amherst a question.

So, what is your real purpose?

"...... I want you to protect me.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

I'm not trying to protect you, I'm not trying to harm you.

Of course, I'm not saying that I don't hold a grudge.

But I didn't have any intention of trying to get rid of it.

I don't have the time to do that.

But at my words, Amherst's expression was one of grief.

I need you to protect me from the ...... adventurers and the people of the village. The truth is, I've been violated.

You have a beautiful body for that.

"......!　

I've been violated just because someone gave me a cold stare. You can't fool anyone with that.

Amherst's face froze at my words.

By then, I had a pretty good idea of what Amherst had been up to.

In other words, he must have gotten scared.

The current labyrinth city is in an unprecedented situation.

And it can be said that the remaining people in the labyrinth city hate the guild employees who ran away in such a situation.

In such a situation, there is no way that Amherst, a former guild employee, would not feel resentment.

Under normal circumstances, but with the current situation of the labyrinth running amok, it would not be surprising if he were to become the brunt of their frustration at any moment.

Amherst must have felt threatened by this situation, and that's why he asked me for protection.

With that understanding, I coldly told him.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but think that your situation is self-inflicted. So I have no intention of protecting you.

Amherst's expression twists at my words.

But I didn't feel the least bit guilty.

It is true that it is somewhat unreasonable for Amherst to be considered the same as the guild employee who fled.

However, knowing Amherst's behavior as a guild employee, I felt that it was only natural.

There is no doubt that some of the adventurers were victims of Amherst's actions.

"Wait, wait!

No!

So I ignore Amherst's restraint and start walking.

But at the end, I decide to turn around and tell him one thing.

I'll just turn around at the end and tell you one thing: Don't worry, you won't be left out in the cold. I'm sure they can't afford to abandon you alone. ......

The labyrinth city is now working as one to help all the people.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

At least, Amherst is not interfering with the defense either.

It's just. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that there is no one who would risk their life for ...... you, so keep that in mind when you wake up.

I ignored it, and this time I walked away.
