I who got fired from the S class adventure party worked as a support, want to have a slow life by becoming an alchemist - Chapter 3

“What about you old man …… Raymond? I’d be shocked if you’d say something bad about the quintessence.”

Slay questioned a huge-built knight with his arms crossed and eyes closed, the oldest of the party at 30 years old, with the role of ‘defender’ and his black hair cropped short.

He is a knight from the neighboring country of the Holy Kingdom. He has the title of “Holy Knight” and utilizes a large shield to protect him, and although his attack speed and hit rate are inferior to Roland’s, he can also use a giant iron ball to create highly destructive attacks.

In addition, he is a valuable presence that can use sacred arts, including C-rank recovery, and is the guardian deity of the party in both name and reality.

It’s a good thing that you’re able to get the most out of this article.

“…… I agree with Miss Bridget. …… Don’t go near Miss Elia again.”

“…… eh?”

What?　…… Hey, hey, I didn’t think the old man was targeting Elia too …… I was too reticent to know

Slay looks stunned, and Elia looks confused by Raymond’s sudden answer. Roland moves his eyebrows as if he thought a new rival had appeared.

”…… Raymond, I didn’t expect you to say that. Don’t tell me you’re trying to get at Elia?”

“No! No, all holy knights in the Holy Kingdom honor and venerate their saints. Let me just say, Roland, this is not a love affair based on lust, as you do.”

“Wha…… what it is. Raymond, are you saying my thoughts are chick-lit?”

“Well, now, let’s not fight. I think Raymond and Elia would be a good match for each other. What do you think, Elia?”

‘Ha …… ha, Bridget, what in the world are you talking about, I’m ……”

Slay looked blankly at the party who started to argue about something despite the decision to banish him.

Although he was saying good things with his mouth, it seemed obvious that Raymond had the same feelings for Elia as Roland did.

When he thought about it, there were times when such a fusillade occurred to him. I’m sure that if she were to confess her feelings to him, he would be happy to oblige.

……Mostly, why do you only look at me as your enemy? I don’t remember messing with Elia.

As for Slay, he didn’t intend to treat Elia in a different way with the party members.

I think it was just that Elia liked the messenger beasts that Slay was following. The reason is that he knew of the brave Roland’s feelings for the saint Elia, so he didn’t want to get his foot in the door of a conversation that could lead to such a dispute.

However, Slay was poised one step in front of the rear and often supported the vanguard with magic and illusions, so there were many opportunities to talk with Elia for coordination. And as a result, it may be true that there were many opportunities to show good places by protecting Elia from enemies who had broken through the vanguard. But that’s just a matter of the role of the party.

I don’t usually remember actively talking to them myself, nor do I remember powdering them at all.

For the most part, it was a passive pattern of talking to Slay from Elia.

Maybe he didn’t like that.

If you take an evil guess, the two of us fighting on the front lines might say that we are fighting a stronger enemy than we are, but we can’t stand it if the princess of our party’s favoritism is increased just because we taunted an enemy that we couldn’t stop.

“Henry. What about you?”

Slay approached a young man who was watching the situation in silence, a young man with the role of a ‘Magi’, a sorcerer-like man with one pair of glasses.

He was twenty-five years old, the same age as Slay. He was a young man from a prestigious family of magic, the Viscount family, and he was a child prodigy who controlled advanced magic to drop huge lightning from the sky and also controlled the sacred art of recovery as a sub. He has the title of “Sage”, which is reserved for those whose magic and divine magic are recognized as equivalent to A-ranked.

As long as Bridget, Roland, and Raymond agreed to be fired, it was as if Slay’s fate was decided, but even so, they had to listen to him, who was somewhat familiar and the wisdom of the party.

“Neutral.”

“What?　Neutral?　Henry……, you’re going to hold Slay’s shoulder?”

Bridget looked angry and was crowding Henry.

“I don’t have a shoulder to stand on. But Slay has been useful, from my point of view. But I’m not going to stop him too hard if the three of you are in favor of firing him.

“They’ll hate you for wanting to be one or the other!　After Slay’s banishment, you’ll be the lowest level of the party’s hierarchy. Be prepared for that!”

There was no way to know what to do. The fact that Bridget, a B-ranked “Thief”, could mount a mount against Henry, who was clearly an S-ranked “Magi” and could also serve as an A-ranked “Healer”, was strange.

And although that attitude was, to put it badly, an either/or, it was a phase that had already been decided by majority vote.

The fact that he went out of his way to call it neutral, even though it would not be more caddish to agree to it later, could be taken as consideration for Slay, with whom he had a long association.

“Oh well. So, 3 in favor of firing, 1 neutral, and 1 against. …… Slay, you know what I’m talking about.”

“…… Well, I don’t have a thick enough skin to stay in this situation. Well, thank you for your help for so long.”

Slay shrugged and sighed deliberately.

Elia looked severely depressed at the sight of him but Slay didn’t notice it.
