Chapter 4 – A Magician’s Complaint

Just like any other day, today, Eto got blamed by the holy mage, Mirei, for being late in handing over mana potions to restore her magic power during the battle. Meanwhile Lana, who used to defend Eto, has distanced herself and stopped joining in such conversations since their talk in the inn’s stable.

‘If you complain that much about the timing of handing over the potions, I hope you could just carry a few potions yourself and drink them when needed…’

That’s what Eto thought. However, Mirei, who was a noble blessed with magic talent from an early age, seems to have no hesitation in treating Eto, who she deemed useless, like a servant.

“Eto-san. Can you at least know when you should hand me the potion? That’s the only thing Eto-san, whose support magic is useless, can do, right? I wonder why you can’t understand no matter how many times I say it. Nee, Eto-san, are you listening?”

While swaying her brunette’s hair that stretched to her waist, Mirei wrinkled her eyebrows and sharply directed her gaze at Eto.

‘Even though I, too, should be able to show my power if I wasn’t banned from using it…’

However, Eto knew that once it was branded as useless, it’s hard for him to change it. And in the current situation where he couldn’t even get any chance to show it, he couldn’t even relinquish such infamy.

“Sigh, why is someone like you even in Hero-sama’s party? I wonder if you really were chosen as the sage. Maybe there is a mistake? You need to know that it is your fault that people might even doubt our ability,”

Saying that, Mirei stared at Eto, waiting for a counterargument. However, Eto could only respond to her with, “I am very sorry.” Then, with a deep sigh, Mirei shook her head, seemingly irritated with Eto.

“Can’t you just leave the party right away? Although I know the fame and reward of the Hero’s party is very appealing to you, it is troubling to have an incompetent member like you. Nee, Eto-san, can you understand what I said?”

Mirei’s grumbling will continue for a while, and this has already become a daily thing. Every time this happens, Eto only listens with half an ear and answers with “Yes, I know that very well.” or “Yes, I am very sorry.”, etc.

""

Normally, he would just endure the grumble until Mirei gets tired of it, but today there was another person who joined the talk.

“Eto-kun. Do you have the awareness of being a member of Hero’s party? If you don’t, just as Mirei-san said, I’d like you to leave this party”

The hero, Ronaldo, stared at Eto with his dark blue eyes.

“Hero-sama, it is difficult to know exactly when to hand a mana potion without a sign from the mage. Moreover, normally, magicians would also carry their own potions. And in case the mage wants someone to hand her a potion, they would decide on a sign for that in advance.”

“Huh? Are you implying I am the one wrong here? You, who is useless to the party, had the gall to push your responsibility on others? You should be ashamed of yourself!”

Mirei glared at Eto.

“You’re right, Mirei-san. Eto-kun, since the things that you can do are limited, it’s troubling if you can’t even do that perfectly. Why can’t you do such a simple thing like handing over a potion?”

Ronaldo, who was supposed to be the party leader, didn’t even blame Mirei. Rather, he even added some words to corner him.

Like that, a year after Eto was banned from using support magic, the treatment he got in the party worsened to the point where he wasn’t allowed to say any objection to any member of the party.
