The Healer Banished From The Party, In Fact, Is The Strongest
/ The Healer Banished From The Party, In Fact, Is The Strongest Vol 2 Chapter 3
—Raust—
Seeing a man who put his hand on my shoulder and made a friendly declaration suddenly appeared, Narsena wide-eyed in surprise .
「……Onii-san?」
And then, along with those words, Narsena sent me a gaze that spoke clearly of what she was thinking about .
“I want an explanation of what’s happening . ”
…Alas, I also wanted an explanation .
I didn’t have any male acquaintance with that voice based on my memory, needless to say, I didn’t have another companion beside Narsena .
In other words, I also had no clue .
Thinking normally, this man might be lying, but I couldn’t figure out his motive; why he lied in this situation, and in the first place, why he suddenly appeared .
Considering the current situation, this man who was trying to pull me away from Nancy might be on our side .
But then it would just mean an extra member in our party, Nancy and the other guild’s staffs wouldn’t give up with this .
That means, if he wants to help us, claiming to be our comrade is useless .
That was why, I looked back, wondering why I suddenly got called out by him .
「——Gh!」
…That was when I noticed the abnormality of the man that spoke to me .
The man had a quite burly body and a well-featured appearance .
Many adventurers with vanguard roles had a strong body, but this man had a body one size larger than that which would surely catch everyone’s eyes .
Even so, that was a trivial matter to me .
……What robed my attention was the intimidating feeling that came from the man .
That intimidating feeling reminded me of the world-class warrior who trained me, Ronaldo-san .
And I knew the intimidating feeling that came from this man had the same quality as the one the Ronaldo-san in my memory exuded .
「G-Guild’s agent……」
「………Huh?」
…Nancy’s remark was what returned my mind which had stopped working for a while, back .
Guild’s agent, they were the best out of the first-class adventurers and said to be the closest to the world-class adventurers .
Unlike exclusive adventurers, guild’s agents could be certified even without a party, and their treatment was incomparable to what exclusive adventurers got .
The general perception was guild’s agents were at a higher caste compared to exclusive adventurers .

I’m surprised an adventurer like him is in Labyrinth city’s guild .
But at the same time, I’m convinced, him being a guild’s agent would explain his strength .
「You’re a guild’s agent, your movement would be hindered if you become an exclusive adventurer . 」
While I was surprised by the sudden development, I understood the man was trying to help me .
A guild’s agent was said to have the authority on the level of branch guild’s head .
Of course, in the Labyrinth city which had authority independent from the guild’s headquarter, they couldn’t use that authority .
Still, for a guild’s staff like Nancy, the fact they couldn’t talk back was the same .
Using his position, the man was glaring at Nancy and the other guild’s staffs to apply pressure on them .
“Don’t get involved with me anymore from hereon . ”
「B-But, I am……」
But even after receiving the warning, Nancy still spoke .
It looked like she hadn’t given up on me yet, she opened her mouth .
「Is there any complaint?」
「Kh! N-No……」
However, her complaint was blocked with that one remark .
His voice contained his irritation, and Nancy who received that looked pale .
I realized that she could no longer talk back to the man .
…And, there was no other guild’s staff trying to speak to me after seeing Nancy .
Some people were sending a regrettable glance this way, but nobody was trying to meddle with us now that I was under the protection of this man .
「Well then, should we go?」
The man asked for our confirmation with a smile .
「Umm…」
Doubt could be seen on Narsena’s face .
There was no way Narsena didn’t realize she was being helped by the man .
Even so, she still couldn’t hide her doubt for the man who suddenly appeared .
「Narsena, let’s just follow him quietly for now . 」
「Y-Yes . 」

However, I stopped Narsena .
Now is not the time to listen to his purpose .
And so, as prompted by the man, we left the guild……
◇ ◆ ◇
「I have nothing to say, you must be confused I suddenly claimed to be your companion, sorry . 」
The man who was a guild’s agent bowed his head and apologized once we reached a place out of public eyes after we left the guild .
「N-No no! Don’t worry about it!」
「That’s right!」
Seeing the man’s completely unimaginable behavior, Narsena and I were flustered .
We were desperately trying to tell him we didn’t mind .
To be honest, I had a little doubt about the guild’s agent that helped us .
But, I never wanted to get an apology from him .
「We should be saying thanks to you instead!」
「Thank you for saying that . 」
Relieved, the man raised his head when I told him that .
「I thought it was the best way, but it’s true I was being pushy……」
Apparently, the man was worried about claiming to be our comrade more than I expected .
Certainly, I was a bit more sensitive to other adventurers’ aggressive solicitation that I was quite surprised when this man claimed to be our company .
However, I didn’t feel anything like that from the man .
On the contrary, I felt grateful for him .
「No, I’m really grateful that you pull us out from that place . 」
「Thank you very much! At that time, I don’t think we could get away from the guild’s staffs by ourselves…」
And so, Narsena and I thanked him to dispel his concern .
「It’s good if that’s the case . But, you don’t need to thank me . 」

Feeling shy, the man laughed .
However, the man didn’t accept our thanks .
「Isn’t it natural for a senior to help their fellow disciple?」
「……Eh?」
「……Huh?」
…The next moment, Narsena and I was struck dumb by the man’s remark .
For the man to go this far, I knew there must be a reason for it .
But, a senior from the same master was not someone I expected to show up .
But on the other hand, I now confirmed what I thought about before .
After all, the reason why he got this intimidating feeling similar to Ronaldo-san had become clear .
And then, when I understood that, a name came to my mind .
It was the name of the one Ronaldo-san claimed to be the most powerful disciple among many other disciples of his .
「Zieg……san?」
And then, the man, Zieg-san answered me who timidly asked for confirmation of his name with a smile on his face .
「Ahh, I guess, nice to meet you?」
That was my first encounter with my senior disciple, Zieg-san .
Later, we and Zieg-san moved to a cafe in the city .
Even on the way there, he already explained a lot of things, including why he knew I was his junior .
This time, Zieg-san visited Labyrinth city with Master, it seemed he was listening to our name and feature on the way here .
Soon after that, Narsena and I became famous, and so Zieg-san knew us one-sidedly .
…By the way, regarding the question of why he came with Master, Zieg-san didn’t answer and just giving me a troubled smile .
It seemed to be something that shouldn’t be spread .
I thought that Master was doing something against Labyrinth city’s guild regarding Wolf of Calamity, but it must more important than what I thought .
This might make things more complicated if we offered to help .

「… If so, is there nothing we could do to help?」
Determined to do so, I muttered that in the cafe .
Actually, before arriving at the cafe, Narsena and I had a discussion, the conclusion was we had to thank Zieg-san .
That was why, currently, while drinking tea in the cafe, I was thinking about how to thank Zieg-san .
……However, other than Zieg-san’s job, which I just found out I couldn’t help with, there was no other idea popped into my head .
Today was the first time Zieg-san and I meet, there was too little information that could help me .
「Zieg-san, I want to thank you, but……」
After a bit more of thinking, I gave up on figuring it out on my own and spoke to Zieg-san .
「Yes! Feel free to ask anything…… well, we might not have time in a couple of days, but…」
And then, piggybacking after me, Narsena also offered help to Zieg-san .
Apparently, Narsena didn’t even think about it .
「No, just the thought is enough…… Though, having said that, I’m sorry, can I ask you for a favor? As an official request?」
In response to our offer, Zieg-san replied with an awkward expression .
「I would like to temporarily make a provisional party with both of you . 」
「………What?」
「Provisional… party?」
The next moment, both Narsena and I were bewildered by Zieg-san’s request .
Provisional party, in other words, Zieg-san was saying he would like to challenge the same quest together .
However, for a person in his caliber, to want to challenge a quest with a provisional party, just what kind of quest it is .
「Ugh!」
However, when I recalled a certain quest, I understood the reason Zieg-san wanted to for a provisional party .
If it was that monster, it was no wonder Zieg-san would propose this just in case .
It was a super-high difficulty monster in the labyrinth lower-layer that Narsena and I wanted to subjugate .
「I want you to help me defeat the phoenix . 」
Both Narsena and I gasped when Zieg-san mentioned the monster in his mind which overlapped with one in ours .
