I Was Banished From the Hero Party I Raised
Chapter 60

‘… no way.’
Ian found Vivian waiting patiently.
A talent called no-casting that anyone can help but covet if they know about it.
However, he soon dismissed that thought.
‘No casting is an ability that only exists in theory. I only knew about it after hearing about it from the Magic Tower Master in the second playthrough, but there’s no way a criminal organization would know that. Even if word spread about his talent, no one would believe it.’
‘If I said that I was aiming after knowing Vivian’s talent, it wouldn’t make any more sense. It’s impossible for these weaklings, and he wouldn’t have acted like a useless talker like before.’
Gordon’s encounter with Vivian can be dismissed as pure coincidence.
It’s not uncommon for people to flirt with women like that.
‘Realistically, the possibility of targeting Vivian’s talent converges to 0%. It would be reasonable to judge that it was just the bullying of bullies.’
But it’s not something you can be sure of.
The fact that a criminal organization has entered Supebia is itself a very big problem.
‘As much as it is the starting point of the warrior system, this Supervia is the place that the Empire manages carefully.’
That’s how safe it is.
It is relative to other regions, but it is difficult for professional criminal organizations to form or invade, at least in Supervia.
‘How did they take the risk and expand their territory to Supervia?’
The Liberal League doesn’t touch anything that could cause them loss or danger.
They are as thorough as the upper end of the profit and loss calculation.
‘In the first place, they’re not very active around Supervia… .’
The Liberal League’s top priority is safety and guaranteed profits.
Why did such a cautious group take the risk?
no. You should change your question.
They are not risk takers.
So, it means that the risk that should be has been drastically reduced or eliminated.
‘If someone guaranteed safety in Supervia, or promised a reasonable level of profit… . Who could?’
Emperor.
Dig right away.
Those who compete for the throne within the imperial family.
Destroy this one too.
Although the Liberal League is a large criminal group, it is not to the extent of holding hands in the imperial family.
gendarmerie.
Captain Wolfgang is a man of integrity even though he has a dirty temper.
The same goes for the characters below.
In the first place, the gendarmerie only hires people who are dedicated to the empire, so this one is also destroyed.
‘Though the remaining two groups have great potential.’
The Anti-Imperial Alliance, which plotted a rebellion but collapsed due to Ian’s report, their remnants.
Or the main axis of the plan for a divinely unified nation.
The two groups that Ian disbanded once again dream of overthrowing and join hands with criminal organizations.
most plausible
‘The Anti-Imperial Coalition was almost all executed, but it was not the main pillar of the Sacred Unified State plan. At first, prosperity was also part of the main axis, so the people involved couldn’t be punished.’
Didn’t you hear at Magdalen Abbey that Bertolt Schultz, one of the main pillars, was gathering forces again?
‘Although the scale of the Anti-Imperial Alliance is small, there must be remnants… . They may have joined forces with a criminal organization to join forces. It would be of great value even if they only shared things like where they spend their city taxes, trade details between cities, and the location of supplies storage… .’
… It’s just an unfounded speculation.
Nothing is certain.
‘There is too little without information.’
Ian didn’t have much information about the criminal organization either.
In the second round, he spent most of his time growing up and hunting demons, so he had no choice but to be ignorant of the human criminal organization.
That’s all I could find out right now.
After this, it will have to be left to the military police.
‘Not the kind of thing I would intervene in, but there’s nothing wrong with keeping an eye on it. I’ll have to ask the military police to share the information when it comes in.’
After organizing his thoughts, Ian decided to take care of this position first.
Still there, Vivian is waiting patiently.
There was also one man who fell below the knee.
Ian asked the back of his head.
“Did you know that this guy is a liberal?”
Members of the Liberal League are called ‘liberals’.
In the meantime, Ian also looked at the body of the man and the rest of the people who passed out.
Gordon was the only one with the mark.
“… … .”
“I knew. Did you know that the organization would help when something happened? Consumables like this?”
The man didn’t have an answer, perhaps realizing that his thoughts were too short.
“Since he’s a D+ level guy, he must have been reliable enough to do such low-level things. There are few warriors like him here.”
“… … .”
Not a single word was wrong.
Chimi’s shame slammed the man’s head into the dirt.
“Where are you going?”
“… Yes?”
“You, like your friends, don’t have to do anything. Could it be that you did it just to be fine on your own without any loyalty?”
“ah… . that… .”
No matter how much you struggle, there is no way out.
he said as if resigned.
“With my left hand… .”
“Are you right-handed?”
“Yes… .”
Ian broke his right hand.
“Ah-! I thought it was my left hand… . Geb.”
Ian didn’t listen any more and knocked the back of his head, knocking him out.
“If anyone hears it, they will know that it will kill them.”
Ian took out a hunting dagger from his bosom and started disassembling it.
*
“Vivian, that’s enough.”
“Yes, yes… . I, what happened… ?”
“Well… . It’s not a very nice sight.”
Behind Vivian’s back, the cruel appearance of the four could be seen.
At Ian’s words, Vivian swallowed.
“I didn’t do anything serious. I just took off all my clothes.”
“… What?”
“I even took off my underwear, made them all hug each other, and tied them up. They will look very funny when you wake up tomorrow morning.”
What Ian disassembled was their clothes.
I confirmed my identity with my bravery license and informed the guard here, so the military police would take care of it.
“… Pooh!”
“Oh, but I can’t see it. It is very ugly to see.”
“Oh no look! Hehe… .”
Vivian, who had been smirking, quickly became sullen.
“I’m sorry… . because of me… .”
“Did Vivian do something wrong?”
“Uh… . Because that’s not… .”
“Yes? So you don’t have to apologize.”
“Hehe… .”
“It’s fine though. Because the magic that didn’t work has succeeded.”
“Hee hee, that’s right.”
Recalling the time when she was successful, Vivian smiled.
It was then that I noticed that it was strange.
“… Yeah? uh? Were you watching?”
Ian shrugged.
“Ugh… . I wanted to surprise you… .”
Vivian pursed her lips and grumbled.
“I was already surprised enough by Vivian, so I don’t think I should be surprised more here.”
“What? Is there anything that surprises me?”
“Why not? He succeeded in changing the composition of magic, had a high level of compatibility with artifacts, and after clearing two dungeons, he trained himself and learned magic that he was unable to.”
“… … .”
“Is this just what happened in one day? If you’re not surprised, that’s weird. I’m worried about what else you’ll show me next time to surprise me, and I’m a little bit excited… .”
“Ahh, I see…” !”
Vivian stomped her feet and groaned, perhaps ashamed to listen.
“Then let’s go in now. It’s unpleasant to keep looking at them.”
“Yeah, yes.”
“You can take a look at it if you are curious. Instead, I cannot take responsibility for what remains in my memory.”
“I won’t see you!”
Vivian followed Ian, who was half a step ahead, and went back into the dorm.
All along the way, Vivian didn’t even want to look back.
I just kept looking at Ian.
continue, continue.
*
“For today, just go in and rest… .”
“yes? Oh, I actually have some worries… .”
“Well… .”
It’s important to listen to your worries, but it’s just as important to take a break.
Especially today, it was all the more so since I handled two dungeons in a row and even trained alone.
Ian hesitated for a moment, then Vivian spoke urgently.
“Didn’t you say I was your top priority?”
“… Then I have nothing to say.”
“And they’re all probably still asleep, so maybe I’ll wake them up… .”
It was true.
It’s been quite some time since Kati reported it.
It was a time when Kati and the others were asleep.
Ian was forced to let Vivian into the room.
*
Eastern Continent, County of Fiorene.
Two men were sitting facing each other in a hidden parlor of a castle.
It was a luxurious space decorated with gorgeous red carpets and golden chandeliers.
one man said
It was a young aristocrat wearing a fine embroidered suit.
“Have you been to the place I told you about?”
On the other hand, on the other side sat a rough-looking man wearing a hooded cloak over leather armor.
“I heard it as a report. Supevia is still in its early stages of activity, but the outer cities are suitable for work.”
“This is the information someone gave me, so that’s how it should be. I assure you, your safety and interests will be guaranteed if you use only the points and routes I have given you.”
The aristocrat said as if boasting.
He was quite arrogant, but the man didn’t deny it because it was true.
The nobleman spoke again.
“Have you still not found Bertholdt?”
“Yes. It’s not easy to track because he’s so nimble.”
“damn… . How did that name become public at Magdalen Abbey? But what else is there to take out right away? Anyway, this is why you shouldn’t trust religious people.”
It was he who proposed the temporary alliance first, but the nobleman blamed Bertolt.
The man was not particularly interested in the contradictory reaction.
“I should have grabbed it sooner… . Even if you were caught by Lazuli and told everything… , uh, that’s terrible.”
The man raised another topic.
“Is this place okay? I heard that the Count is holding a dueling tournament soon. Aren’t people going to come? The Count doesn’t seem to know that you are a remnant of the Anti-Imperial Alliance yet.”
“huh. Can I tell that to that thin-eared, light-mouthed count? I can’t help it though. Since the count has already been bragging about the tournament, it’s even more suspicious if he says he won’t hold the tournament now.”
“Hmm.”
The man didn’t know that either.
It was just a question I asked to get a sense of how far this young aristocrat could think.
“I have some good news, though.”
“What if it’s good news?”
“Beatrice sent a message.”
“Hoo? Is that Beatrice?”
“Yes, that Beatrice. The last time I told you, you said you weren’t interested, but for some reason you want to talk about the mercenary business. I mean very aggressively.”
“Actually, you probably don’t even know that it’s a plan to recruit soldiers for the Anti-Imperial Alliance.”
“Quack-quick. right. A rebellion supported by the hero of the century, isn’t it really exciting?”
One of the leading figures in the Anti-Imperial Coalition who was executed, Aaron Somerset.
Henry Somerset, his son and remnant of the Anti-Imperial Coalition, laughed meanly.
He even gave a large sum of money to Beatrice and Kylie in Badenberg last time.
“Even if it turns out, there is room for escape. We’re going to bite the first party, so who can treat us badly?”
The man just grinned and smirked.
Rebellion or something, the man was not very interested.
Only the price of the transaction that each other promised had to come and go legitimately.
The role of his organization is to provide not only simple power, but also manpower and equipment to the nobles of the Anti-Imperial Alliance whose power itself has shrunk, or to deliver news from all over the continent.
Instead, the organization listens to and monetizes valuable information that only the nobles know.
So whether their rebellion succeeds or not.
Their safety is guaranteed and they only have to take care of their profits.
He was ready to step out at any moment.
However, I had one question.
“Rather than that, it’s the first party… . Was the manager there a man named Ian?”
“It did. I heard you were kicked out recently.”
“If there is a dueling tournament, could he come here?”
“Hmm… . If you’re organizing a party again, that would be it. Aren’t you curious to see if there are any talents among those participating in the competition? Why, do you know each other?”
“… You can do that. That man has a personal debt to me.”
The man menacingly squeezes the hand he has placed on the table.
The mark under the wrist was clearly visible in the light.
A tattoo with an ‘X’ in the middle of a circle.
Unusually, all ends of the X were outside the circle.
“her. Are you in debt?”
A man who stole a special artifact in the form of a ring with a special elf in the past.
Not only that, he is an arsonist who killed all the members of the organization and the executives of the business partners who were at the scene, and even burned the site down.
On that day, a whopping 20% of the organization’s total capital and manpower disappeared.
Perhaps if it hadn’t been for that incident, it would have been possible to look down instead of face to face with Henry on an equal footing.
“By the way, I heard that Ian was also a former warrior. Are you confident?”
“Anyway, he is a guy who acts like a scarecrow for a man named Philip after he withdraws from the field. Seeing as he retired at a young age, he must be a mediocre guy.”
“under! but. Compared to you, whose skills are comparable to those of a B-class warrior, and who are in the lower ranks of A-class warriors, they must be insignificant. Even if you don’t have luck, you’re a dirty friend, aren’t you? If I had stayed with the first party, they would have protected me.”
The man had been aiming for Ian all along.
There was also an emotional vengeance for having touched his own organization, but not without calculating reasons.
It is easy to be looked down upon by other organizations if they do not respond strongly to external attacks.
Even within the organization, discipline is bound to be shaken.
Therefore, even at the risk, he intended to find and kill Ian.
At first, it was not easy to track down, so I didn’t know who did it.
It was only after the monsters called the 1st Warriors Party came into existence that I later found out their identity, and they were beings that men couldn’t handle.
However, now Ian has been kicked out of them.
There is even a chance that they will come to this area where they hid.
“… I look forward to meeting you.”
The man doesn’t know exactly who Ian is.
I don’t know why.
But belatedly, the organization’s revenge must be completed.
for safety and survival.
In fact, after that incident, the order within the organization was greatly shaken, and it was also severely damaged externally.
I still haven’t completely freed myself from the influence of that time.
Even now, you have to finish the work with your own hands.
Edgar, the representative of the Liberal League, made such a pledge.
*
Kati left her room late at night.
Vivian hasn’t returned yet.
Ian went to pick him up, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
If there was a serious problem, Ian would have informed it at least with the Ring of Subordination.
Still, I wanted to check it out just in case.
He could have come in early and fallen asleep in Ian’s room, so he didn’t telepathically send the subordination ring.
I’ll just check the presence outside the door.
The moment you quietly put your ear to the door.
– I fell in love.
Inside, someone said so.
“… … .”
Kati froze in place.
