The Matter of My Party Members Being Aware of My Desire to Be Banished - Chapter 5

“———I’m thinking of lowering the difficulty of tomorrow’s request a bit. I don’t think we can recover from the fatigue of yesterday’s battle in just one day. That being said, don’t let your guard down, everyone.”

“We got it~. It’ll be a piece of cake.”

“Yes, of course. Let’s finish it quickly.”

“Mmm, everyone understands.”

Our party members are so scary…

And when they declare something like this, they really do finish it in an instant.

As the night grew late, we were discussing tomorrow’s plans before going to bed.

Even so, I’m just in charge of carrying the baggage, and I don’t have anything to do during the battles.

“Even if you’re not participating in the battle, Rokuto, don’t let your guard down.”

Of course, I won’t be careless just because I’m in charge of carrying the baggage and everyone is protecting me.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine since everyone will finish the battle quickly!”

“Fufu, that’s right.”

Shion shows a smile.

“Rokkun, I’ll definitely protect you.”

Honoka, who is sitting next to me, has a serious look in her eyes for some reason.

“I won’t let Rokuto-san or anyone else get a single scratch. Ufufu~”

Marn-san looks at us with a warm smile.

These three are the members of the party I’m in.

And from these three, I will be banished… probably. Yeah, it’s okay to banish me!!

“Well, I’d like to end the discussion for tomorrow’s plans here… Honoka and Marn, I’d like you to stay for a bit.”

“What about me?”

“Rokuto, you can go ahead and get some sleep in preparation for tomorrow.”

“Got it. Good night~”

I don’t ask, “Why am I the only one left out!?”

It must be something they can’t discuss with me, the person in charge of carrying the baggage.

“Being in charge of baggage in another world tends to be left out… I understand.”

That’s right. I understand, so… it’s okay to banish me sooner, you know?

◆◆

“Now then…”

After Rokuto left, there was a brief pause.

Shion took a deep breath… and looked back and forth between Honoka and Marn.

Her eyes were strangely serious.

“Will this be a long talk? If so, can I eat something? I think there were donuts Rokkun made…”

“You can’t, Honoka-san. Those donuts were made by Rokuto-san for our 3 o’clock snack. Besides, eating this late at night is not good for your health.”

“It’s alright, Ma-san. I’m a front-line attacker and move around a lot, so I don’t think I’ll gain weight! And the nutrients should go to my chest~”

Honoka puffed out her chest. As a result, her breasts jiggled with a bounce.

“Ara ara~. Such a youthful way of thinking~”

Barun barun.

Marn also shook her big breasts.

As for the last one, Shion…

“You two… are you trying to pick a fight with me? Fine, let’s have one.”

“Ah… Let’s get to the main topic.”

“That’s right. We want to know the reason why Shion-san gathered us quickly.”

“…Haa. Then I’ll talk.”

With a “good grief” expression, Shion’s face turned serious.

“There’s something I want to confirm about Rokuto.”

Shion’s eyes remained focused as she said this.

The moment the word “Rokuto” came out, both Honoka and Marn instantly changed their expressions.

“Fufu. The tension has suddenly increased.”

“Don’t beat around the bush, just say it quickly.”

“What could possibly be the issue with Rokuto-san…?”

“I wish you wouldn’t be so agitated. It’s just a confirmation. Everyone, do you———like Rokuto?”

Shion casually said this without any embarrassment or hesitation.

“Ah, me? I like Rokuto.”

“I haven’t asked Shi-chan anything yet…”

“I thought you wanted to know? Even when approached by many girls, why don’t I pay attention to them…? The reason is because I like Rokuto.”

“You went ahead and said everything yourself.”

“It’s because I’m honest with my feelings.”

“Ufufu~ I like that aspect of Shion-san~”

With a somewhat exasperated look, Honoka narrowed her eyes.

Marn watched over them with a gentle smile.

Shion made a determined expression.

“So, what about you? Do Honoka and Marn like Rokuto?”

“I do like him. I like him many times more than Shi-chan does. I may lose in terms of ability, but my feelings for Rokkun won’t.”

“At first, I thought of Rokuto-san as a hardworking boy, but now… I’m aware of him as a member of the opposite gender.”

As expected, Honoka and Marn immediately answered, and the corners of Shion’s mouth rose with a smile.

“Then it’s settled.”

“What is?”

“What could it be…?”

“We won’t let Rokuto go to another party… No. We won’t let anyone other than us have him. Fufu.”

“Munya munya… If I get banished… I’ll be the strongest… Fuhehe.”

This is the tale of a man who, despite believing he had been transferred to a banishment fantasy world(?), somehow remains unbanished.

Why is that…?

The adventure revealing the reason has———already begun.
