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

Episode 20: Why Stay in a Labyrinth City

The day after I was given unfair penalties by the Alliance, I visited the joint house where Mr. Sieg and the others lived.

"I'm sorry, I came all of a sudden."

"No, you don't have to worry about it. What's the matter with you?

Sieg, who was maintaining a demon sword in his joint home, invited me into the house with pleasure, despite a sudden visit.

But only during the beginning was Mr. Sieg in a good mood.

"... they actually forbid me to go in and out of the labyrinth"

"............ what?

At the next moment, Mr. Sieg, who heard my words, suddenly lost them.

Tell Mr. Sieg how I've been, what Narsena is doing to confirm with the Alliance, and how I want to break the ban on going in and out of the labyrinth.

"... what are the guild guys thinking"

By the time I had finished telling you everything, the upset had disappeared from Mr. Sieg's face and instead anger was floating.

Mr. Sieg's hand holds the Devil's Sword that he's been working on, and I feel in a hurry as if I could go and punch him in the guild like this.

"... damn"

But Mr. Sieg never headed for the guild and let go of the Devil's Sword with a little evil.

No matter how much the guild has to do with it, going to punch him won't solve things.

On the contrary, the situation could get even worse.

No matter how calm he was, Mr. Sieg never misjudged that decision.

Yes, the situation is not something you can do with the earliest force push.

That's why I came here to talk to Mr. Sieg.

As an Alliance Direct Adventurer, Mr. Sieg has considerable authority.

I thought that Mr. Sieg might be able to take down the guild's unjust punishment.

"The Lausts owe me a debt of gratitude for Armia and Phoenix. So in this case, I'm going to let you cooperate as much as I can. … but I can't lift the ban on going in and out of the labyrinth"

"... eh"

... My hope was scattered around Mr. Sieg's words.

"... there's nothing I can do about this one on my authority"

Mr. Sieg's words contained a guilty conscience towards me.

And that was more proof than anything that Mr. Sieg's words were not lies.

I understand that even Mr. Sieg can't do anything about it, and I accidentally bite my lips off.

Mr. Sieg continues his words as he seeps bitter tannins into his face at my appearance.

"Prohibiting access to the Labyrinth is the only authority the Branch Manager has. By my authority, no other guild can override the decision of this Labyrinth City Branch Manager."

"Become!? Branch manager!

The word branch manager out of Mr. Sieg's mouth.

Besides, I couldn't hide the upset.

If I remember correctly, I've never had anything with this maze city branch manager, and therefore I don't remember being resented.

Besides, this one is caused by the great sword of the god of war and the grudge of our party.

It is obviously odd that such a trivial whisper should come out about a branch manager.

I turn to Mr. Siege looking for answers to why I was caught in the eye of the branch manager.

But the act was only in vain.

"... sorry. I don't know either."

The surprising look on that face, it showed that Mr. Sieg didn't know the answer either.

In other words, it seems that this unfair punishment of the Branch Manager against me was imposed for reasons not even known to Mr. Sieg.

In that fact, I remember a fright I didn't know what to do, and I make my face cramp.

Various imaginations and speculations dominate my head as to why and what the Branch Manager put his hands on me for.

"If there's only one thing I can tell you, you better leave the Labyrinth City behind as soon as you can."

Mr. Sieg's serious voice, which sounded at the next moment, set me back to reality.

"I don't know why, but it's clear that the branch manager of this labyrinth city is up to something with you guys. If so, you should promptly follow the labyrinth city. If it's Wang Du, I have my handbook, and you guys can easily name it."

That Mr. Sieg's suggestion was the best course of action.

The contents are incontrovertible and the words contain care for me.

It would definitely be something Mr. Sieg really cared about himself and took seriously.

"... thank you for your concern. But I still want to be in the Labyrinth City."

Understanding that, I could not accept the proposal.

You didn't expect me to say no, Mr. Sieg turns a dew of surprise.

I feel guilty about Mr. Sieg's reaction, but I can't snort at Mr. Sieg's suggestion.

"We can never leave Labyrinth City behind us now. At least until some adventurer comes out to wholesale the lower levels of material into the city instead of us."

With that in mind, it was the faces of the people of the city that I had become completely familiar with in the past month.

Until now, Labyrinth City has never been the place for me to like.

I no longer remember when I began to learn to attach to the labyrinth city that should have been.

Still, I was convinced that the city's people were the cause of my attachment to the labyrinth city.

Indeed, my happiness today is due to the presence of Narsena, and it will not change that Narsena is the only one.

But it is also true that the presence of the people of the city has given me more colour in my life.

"I don't want to crush that city in this labyrinth city. I really appreciate your suggestion, but I still can't leave this place."

That's why I couldn't snort at Siege's suggestion that I should leave the labyrinth city behind.

Because I knew that after Labyrinth City would be synonymous with abandoning this Labyrinth City city.

At least I wanted to stay in this labyrinth city until our substitute adventurer showed up and started to stand even when I was gone.

There wasn't one reason I wanted to stay in the labyrinth city.

"And..."

I try to say it to another reason, and for a moment I hesitate.

The other reason was that it was not something I wanted to say actively to people because it was too personal.

But I remember telling Mr. Siege how I felt about Narsena, and I laughed slightly now and opened my mouth.

"There's another thing about Narsena that I want to be a labyrinth city."

"You mean Narsena?

Doubts arise about Mr. Sieg's face in my words.

"Yes, about Narsena's house"

But there was a slight upset in Mr. Sieg's face at my next words.

Seeing it, I realize that Mr. Sieg knew about Narsena's house, too.

"Narsena herself seems to think she can hide it well, but we know that Narsena's house would be aristocratic. … and discord with the family."

"That's it..."

Mr. Sieg surprises me with the words, but it was never difficult for me to say anything about Narsena's house.

If a noble warrant or a lady tries to make man an adventurer, it is easy to understand that the nobility of the parents opposes it, and because yesterday's state of Narsena opposing the trip to the king's capital made it easy to imagine that.

"Perhaps Narsena's parents will never forgive me for my presence. Unlike the beautiful adventurers in the Wang capital, adventurers like me are on Narsena's side."

And that wasn't all I could imagine.

The stupidity of other adventurers once overheard about the nobility, remembering it, I am certain that I will not be accepted by the nobility.

No, maybe I'm not accepted by the nobles.

The idea is not even chronic, it is a historical fact.

Still, nobility will never forgive me for my marriage to Narsena now.

"That's why I want the courtesy of silencing even the nobles."

I made a decision because I understood it.

That it constitutes an unthinkable feat from the time when it was once a defect healer.

But my heart didn't shake so strangely by that fact.

That's all I'm saying, that's all I'm saying.

I opened my mouth to such an unthinkable transformation from myself and to the girl who was the reason for that transformation.

"I'm going to be a superior adventurer in this labyrinth city."
