The Matter of My Party Members Being Aware of My Desire to Be Banished - Chapter 1

“You’re worthless, you haven’t done anything, and you’re incapable! I don’t need you in my party! I’ll banish you!!”

This was the series of events that led to the party banishment.

After being banished, their abilities awakened, they achieved one feat after another, and naturally formed a harem of beautiful girls. On the other hand, the ones who banished them fell behind, and eventually, the positions were reversed.

This is called banishment karma.

When reading novels and manga, I didn’t necessarily want to experience banishment karma, but I was fascinated by the awakening of abilities.

Anyone would be fascinated by the idea of awakening abilities and being able to instantly defeat any enemy in a full-blown battle!

And with that awakening, banishment was inevitable…

“So if I get banished too, I should be able to learn about my true cheat abilities!”

It’s been two years since I reincarnated from Japan, a country overflowing with banishment fantasy.

I, Azuma Rokuto, was filled with the desire to be banished even today.

It’s not just because of the vague information from my previous life’s fictional works that I want to be banished.

I have certainty.

It all started during a conversation with a goddess I met after collapsing one day…

“Azuma Rokuto-san, you have died. Well then, let’s begin the ceremony to transfer you to another world.”

“Wait, what? Hold on! Can you stop treating me like it’s okay for me to die since you’ll transfer me to another world!?”

“So you don’t want to be transferred to another world?”

“I’d love to be transferred to another world, please!”

Even if I asked about the circumstances of my death, it would eventually come back to the same conversation that reviving me was impossible.

I’ve already learned about that in light novels and manga.

While I understand the situation, I’m quite panicked about what happened.

Because, well, I died, right?

At 15 years old. A high school freshman. And I died the day after the entrance ceremony!

My youth ended without any memories!

Wait, did I really die without accomplishing anything!?

“For mistakenly causing your death, I will grant you a special ability.”

This person just admitted to mistakenly killing me.

Well, putting that aside…

“Oh, what kind of ability is that?”

“That would be… Storage.”

“Storage? Isn’t that a useless skill?”

“I think the Storage ability is surprisingly cheat-like, actually.”

“Well… Yes, I suppose.”

It is convenient, though.

“And there’s one more thing. I shall grant you an ability. This ability will undoubtedly be put to good use in the other world.”

“So, it’s like a true ability kind of thing?”

“Yes, that’s right. By encountering a unique event in the other world, your ability will awaken and manifest.”

“An event specific to the other world…”

If it’s a unique event in another world… it must be a banishment event!

“Well then, off you go!”

That’s how I ended up being one-sidedly transferred to another world.

So…

“I want to be banished!!”

If I’m banished, I’ll find out what my true cheat ability is!

If I understand correctly… I too can create a perfect harem to my heart’s content!!

Currently, I’m a part of an adventurer party in a world that seems like an another world.

I’ve been in this party for about half a year now.

My role in the party is that of a baggage carrier, as you might guess from the “Storage” ability, and I also handle all the household chores.

Being a baggage carrier places me in the number one spot in the ranking of roles often banished.

Additionally, all of the party members except for me are handsome men and beautiful women.

Even judging by our facial attractiveness, it’s clear that I don’t match up with the rest of them!

In other words, I have several elements that make it seem like I should be banished even without volunteering for it!

It’s only a matter of time before I get banished… but just in case, I’ll try various things to get banished.

“I’m going to be banished from the party, awaken my powers, move to the neighboring country, and start my own harem! Oooooh!! Oh, it looks like the soup is coming along nicely~”

I motivated myself again, but to a reasonable extent… I was making breakfast right now.

As I began to serve the food, I heard the door open.

“Rokkun… what are you talking about so early in the morning? Fuaa… Good morning…”

Oh! It seems like one of the party members has woken up.
