"I knew you were here"

With that word, I, Armia, laughed.

Since the loss of a party-owned house, the leaders had become immersed in the Guild Tavern, which is why I thought they might be here.

And that prediction hit me, I grin.

"... sort of"

... but the moment I realized the dark look that was on the face of the leader and Mr. Serveria, my grin was supposed to harden.

Indeed, since being banished from first-rate parties, the leaders had always come to wrap up more and more air.

But the leaders were clearly different.

"You mean Mr. Laust."

"Huh!"

... I shrugged the names that would cause those leaders to look like that.

At that moment, an irresistible upset runs in the face of the leader and Mr. Serveria, telling us that it was a star.

Perhaps the leaders are now beginning to feel untrained about Mr. Laust's loss.

That would be untrained not to be thought of by the man who unilaterally expelled Mr. Laust.

... but still, maybe the leaders can't help but be untrained like that.

Whatever, by then, Mr. Laust's accomplishments were out of standard.

The adventurer on this occasion has a fearful eye on his brother as he leaves this place.

Until a few hours ago, despite mocking your brother.

"... if I had let him into the party then"

"Damn!

... And some of them recalled asking me to let Mr. Laust into the party before, and he looked like a human with regrets.

In that, I guess I can't help but think that the leaders who once had Mr. Laust in the party would have thought so had Mr. Laust been at the party.

... the leaders can't get the idea out of their minds even though they know they deserve it.

"But Mr. Laust will never return to the lightning sword again."

... but now I just thought about that maybe it didn't make any sense.

Mr. Laust has a trusted party member in his hands.

Wherever you've been invited from, Mr. Laust won't be entering any party.

"Let's not get obsessed with Mr. Laust."

So I tell the leader yes.

He said we should give up now.

At that moment, the face of the leader and Mr. Serveria was clearly distorted.

Neither did the leaders really think that Mr. Laust would come into the lightning sword now, etc.

I just couldn't give up still, knowing it was impossible.

So to my word, the leaders give up Mr. Laust's presence.

… but that was not synonymous with the disappearance of complexity among the leaders.

"... you have a lot of room, Armia. Because I didn't get my hands on Laust more than we do. And you're doing it justice?

At the next moment, the leader has thrown such words at me as if to clear his depression.

Besides, I realize that this time the spear is right for me.

"There's no way you can think of that."

But I was never angry at the leader's words.

What I pointed at the leader was a grin with an emotion of indelible regret.

"Huh!"

The leader breathes whether the grin was an unexpected reaction.

Seeing that reaction, I realize the leader is making a big mistake.

Indeed, I may have had a better attitude towards Mr Laust compared to the leaders and Mr Serveria.

... but that wasn't something to be proud of at all.

◇ ◆ ◇

I entered the Lightning Sword a year ago when the Lightning Sword was already a first-rate party.

At that time, being a 14-year-old rookie wizard, I was floated to be invited to a first-rate party.

I did realize I was better than the others, but I never thought I'd be invited to a first-rate party.

… so I became inclined to tip over to the leaders and serverias who were at the heart of the party.

That was also why I began to abuse Mr. Laust.

I didn't even mock Mr. Laust from the beginning.

The leaders who were feeling sick told me this was important to train Mr. Laust, and that's why I abused Mr. Laust.

As they say, without questioning any of your actions.

... but the day after I banished Mr. Laust from the party, when I challenged Lyla and the pre-mutation Hydra, I was supposed to realize my stupidity.

At that time I finally understood my stupidity and how active Mr. Laust was.

... No, knowing exactly what Mr. Laust was up to, I realized I wasn't even trying to see it.

As soon as I realized that, I felt terrible disgust at my actions.

I could afford to look around in the rear guard, I sometimes felt like Mr. Laust was a brilliant adventurer.

However, I was blind to the words of the leaders, and I was trying to think of the feeling as my fault.

─ ─ In my battle with Hydra, I finally realized that Mr. Laust was truly outstanding.

I've had terrible regrets since I realized what I did.

The attitude of the leader and Mr. Serveria towards Mr. Laust.

The malice that was put into it would never be tolerated.

... but my assumptions were many times uglier than the actions of those leaders.

And the act has hurt Mr. Laust.

I guess that's irrevocable anymore.

That's why the day I asked Lila to talk to me, I decided I couldn't go wrong anymore.

I will not return to the past that I have already hurt Mr. Laust.

Then I decided to start all over again.

With that determination in my heart, I was with the leader.

Open your mouth towards Mr. Serveria.

"Come to me"
