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

Episode 49: The Beginning of a Defense Battle

Suppress the impatience, and I will pull out my dagger.

If you turn the mist to the enemy, the labyrinth city cannot be used as a base, the story was told earlier and is stuck to your head.

So I understood that the current situation was the worst I could think of. [M]

Hanzam hands on the sword in reaction to me pulling out the dagger, and Narsena enters a battlefield position.

As for the master and Mr. Ronald, there has been no visible change.

But we were both unleashed with hostility that pierced our surroundings.

The tight air suddenly covers the field.

Despite that, the only mist causing that air was laughing.

"You don't have to look scared like that. Didn't I tell you? I said I'd work together to protect the labyrinth city."

At least, Mist doesn't feel like starting a fight right now.

I understand that, and a little relief spreads to my chest.

Nevertheless, Mist's words alone did not disarm us.

You don't have to try to kill us right now, because you're certain Mist is our enemy.

That's why I didn't know.

"Then why did you state that you isolated the Labyrinth City?... Why did you teach me the existence of this wall?

Yes, I didn't understand why the Master was right to say that Mist isolated the labyrinth city here.

In the first place, only mists know about the walls of labyrinth cities.

If you hadn't taught us, your master wouldn't have been convinced that Mist was involved in the Nelburg barrier.

In spite of it, Mist did not hide everything.

"It doesn't make sense to hide what I'm almost certain you guys are involved in, I just thought so. As far as the guild's concerned, you were pretty sure I was involved, weren't you?

Was Mist listening to the conversation just before it metastasized?

Even when I realized it, I was no longer surprised in me.

There's just one thing I don't get.

"Even if we try to hide it here, they'll just suspect it the other way around. So I affirmed honestly without hiding it. And let's make another suggestion on that."

A mist who laughs and goes on with his words while being turned hostile.

I reinforce that question. [M]

... Why is Mist cooperating with us?

"Indeed I isolated the labyrinth city. Not long ago, it was an exaggeration to say that I was your enemy. But that's a story from the past, not now. I have a purpose, and I need your help. [M] - So why don't you work with me on a labyrinth rampage?"

"... there's no way I can trust you"

Against the mist, the master did not nod.

Revealing suspicion, the master asks.

"If you want me to work with you, tell me what you want. What makes you want our help? Without it, I can trust you..."

"Not necessary"

Mist's response to the Master's words was only one word.

The master also loses words to Mist's reply, which he has no time to mount.

"You bet, Larma. All you need now is the fact that you can't protect a labyrinth city without me."

Mist, who told him so with a laugh, walks out towards the walls.

"I can only say that expanding this castle wall by myself is just right. That's the grace of God, the skill or something. ─ ─ So, how long can you keep this wall?

"... Huh!

There is a clear upset in the master's face.

As if to affirm Mist's words.

"You can't shake my hand in this situation. No matter how suspicious, as far as I can tell my usefulness"

No one can answer Mist's words.

That was, above all, eloquently affirming Mist's words.

"Well, keep it coming, please"

I hold my fist firmly to the mist who told me so in a gentle but unspoken tone.

"... who in such a forceful way!

I accidentally said something about the way a one-sided mist went. [M]

Mist's words are only good, and he may need a mist to deal with a labyrinth rampage.

But there was no way I could accept mists with this flow.

At the very least, I can't accept mists without asking about their purpose.

With the will not to pull, I stare at the mist. [M]

"... Laust, back off"

But my master stopped me.

For a moment, let's shake off our master, that's the idea that comes to mind.

However, such an idea was to disappear as soon as I saw more anger than I had on my master's face.

"Here comes the Warcraft. That's your priority now."

"... Huh!

I get stuck in front of my eyes the reality of a labyrinth rampage, and my head gets cold.

No matter how frustrating, now we really needed the presence of a mist.

Even kill me, I stare at the mist.

"... you'll regret trying to use us."

"Looking forward to it"

Such an obvious defeat was the last resistance I could make.

◇ ◆ ◇

Then we hurried back to the Alliance in Mist's Transfer and explained to the people panicking at the walls that suddenly appeared.

Although slightly laborious at first, it was sometimes the walls protecting the labyrinth city that appeared, and the noise gradually subsided.

Still, it didn't change that time was taken, and it was only after some time that we gathered in the Alliance when we were ready to fight.

"Have we got everyone but Sieg watching over Mist"

The master, who waited for us to come in the room, sat in the chair with the majestic attitude brought to his back with his legs together as usual.

That figure remains the same as usual.

The attitude that you are magnificent and that you are irrelevant under any circumstances.

Although it is an attitude of buying less objection if it is normal, it is also true that I feel comfortable in this pressing situation.

... but unlike always, the master looked pale.

"Oh, don't worry about me. They just took magic to the walls."

Before I say anything, my master tells me so with a flickering wave.

From that attitude, it doesn't look particularly problematic, and I back off silently.

If the master says he's okay, it won't be a concern now.

Keeping the anxiety in my chest down, I shut my mouth.

Confirming that, the master opened his mouth.

"Though this time I can't fight"

An overwhelming offensive and experienced master's departure from the front.

It was a shock, but nothing upset us because it was somewhat predictable.

If you built this many walls, it's not strange how many masters are draining heavily.

Just isn't this castle wall perfect even then?

I shrug as I look around getting ready for battle.

"... I'm sorry you're still just hiccups on the walls"

"Sort of. Exactly on my own, I couldn't do the perfect walls"

"Then I magically..."

"No, you can't"

My master rejected Armia, who raised her voice to say so, capable of magic himself.

"My view was wrong. This is something that no matter how many wizards get together, they can't deploy. I can't use anything but a magician."

Magic, that's a way to handle magic without going through the skills my master once taught me.

But there's a question on Armia's face that you can't possibly know about that.

"Mage, is it?

"Think of it as an elf alias."

"Yes, sir"

I know I didn't convince you, but I can see Armia shutting her mouth to the look of a master who isn't willing to talk any more.

Someone other than Narsena, whom I had explained before, was thinking differently of me as I remembered my doubts.

If witchcraft is elf technology, then it is still the person who taught witchcraft to his master who is the mist, I wonder.

If so, I suppose that word is also because I've spotted that the walls aren't perfect.

- How long can you keep the walls?

I remember Mist asking my master, and I understand again.

Mist said it was another part of the fight that wasn't a threat.

... I just feel a little uncomfortable remembering Mist's mouthfeel.

That mouthpiece wasn't the strength of the walls, it also sounded like he was saying something else more.

However, my thoughts were interrupted by the Master's opening of his mouth.

"Well, I can't have a mutated super difficulty warcraft, but I can tolerate it to the extent of a mutated orga. Now this wall is no substitute for the hope of a labyrinth city.... but it's not my business to admit it."

castle walls that could withstand up to the Auga, which was indeed useful considering the Master's departure from the front.

No, in those words, I wouldn't be able to describe the value of this wall.

The status quo, which even appeared to be super difficult Warcraft, is, to be modest, the worst.

In the meantime, this castle wall was my only hope.

"So don't lean Fenrill near the walls. Definitely protect the walls."

No one uttered a word to the words of a heavy master at any given time.

Grab your fist hard instead.

Everyone understood.

If we can't maintain this wall, we have no future.

Master's gaze increases sharply so as to make sure we are ready for such a thing.

"That said, it's not that much of a need to feel."

But that gaze quickly changed to something soft.

"Ronald is inherently enough for Fenrill. Even with the other Warcraft, if you move as you were supposed to, it will end without the damage you did. With that in mind, slap the story into your head now."

We shut our mouths when we decided that the Master would give us instructions from now on.

"First of all, I'm talking about the other guys, the labyrinth city adventurers, but I'm going to let them deal with the Warcraft below the oak so you guys can easily fight. The mist and the guild clerk man are ordered to give that support. And Lyla."

"Yes."

"You restore the adventurers, and if there is anything unexpected, I'll leave you with instructions."

"... watching if Mist doesn't do something,"

"Oh, yeah"

After snorting satisfactorily at Lyla's response, the master turns his face to Armia.

"To the wizards there, stay in the rear guard with the wizards of the adventurers for now and attack with the support of Lyla or Ronald"

"Yes, sir"

And the next thing the master turned to was me and Narsena, but that face was different and more serious than ever.

"I'm going to ask my idiot apprentice and Narsena, and Sieg, who's not here, to deal with the orga at first. Enemies the adventurers can't deal with."

The word "intend" mixed with the master's words.

It showed that my master was overwhelmed with my strength.

"And after you finish dealing with the augs, you're covering for Mr. Ronald. Okay."

"You can afford it if you're with your brother!

Understanding that, me and Narsena ignored the master's concerns.

─ ─ If it's about auga, there's no problem, claiming otherwise.

I know these confident words and actions don't suit me anyway Narsena.

Still, I was no longer willing to despise myself senselessly.

Because she next door taught me enough about my worth.

For a moment, the Master looks away at the unexpected attitude of not concealing the confidence I have never shown before.

"... you've come to have a very busy attitude"

But soon, the master turns his face into something as grumpy as it is unnatural, and throws up like that.

I just couldn't hide the fact that the voice was playing.

"Well, if there's no problem, I'll stay like this. Give Ronald instructions later."

With the disgruntled look on his face, the master who said so just said that the conversation was over. Shit, he gets up and tries to get out of the room.

But I stopped right before I left the room completely.

"... well, what. Anyway, come back soon. Materially, at least for today, there will be a small feast."

With those words at the end, now me and Narsena laugh face-to-face at the master who left the room behind.

We knew that masters would be gone at times like this because we didn't want to be seen happy.

Let's get this over with.

"Yes, let's go home hungry!

The last time we exchanged those words, we walked out next door.

... That was the beginning of a fierce battle for the defense of the Wall.
