Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None (勇者パーティを追い出された器用貧乏)

THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES SPEAKS OF HIS IDEALS

I was banished from the Heroes Party because I was weak.

That's what the article in today's newspaper said.

I knew this would happen, but did it have to happen now?

How many people will still trust me after reading that article?

Did you see today's paper?

Orhun was banished from the Heroes Party, huh?

And because he was too weak!

He said yesterday that he was the one who left.

If he was banished, the truth would be totally different...

Morning.

Orhun!

G-Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning...

Good morning.

Morning.

Totally different from yesterday.

Well, after all the bragging she did on my behalf,

I can understand why they're confused.

Orhun!

I'm so sorry! I had no idea!

Selma...

There's no reason for you to apologize.

If you can't get yourself under control, our teaching expedition will be a failure.

But I used you to inspire the new recruits so much yesterday...

I should've been more careful.

I'm fine.

I should apologize for causing trouble by not being clear.

I'll back you up during our dungeon delve,

so hold your head high like you always do.

All of you, as well.

Orhun...

But it's true that Orhun made it to Floor 94, right?

Even that's incredible!

So we're not worried at all.

That's right.

You were just fine yesterday, too.

Show us more of the same today.

Okay. Leave it to me.

Good morning, Orhun.

Morning, mister!

Morning.

Morning, everyone.

You know what was in today's paper, right?

That article's full of lies!

Yeah, none of that matters!

Is it true?

Well, the vast majority is.

If you're asking if I was too weak, the answer is yes.

So I'm not the hero everybody expects right now.

Sorry for not telling you.

No... What's going on here?

But you were strong!

You defeated over a dozen orcs in an instant!

I know you're not too weak!

Sophia...

Thanks.

Like she said, I do have enough strength to get you to Floor 51.

I'm no hero anymore, but as Orhun Dura, just an explorer, I swear...

I'll protect you.

So I want you to do your best on our dungeon dive, just like you did yesterday.

Okay!

What the heck?

I feel like an idiot for getting excited.

SOUTHERN GREAT DUNGEON, FLOOR 21

Today we're going from floor 21 to floor 35.

But we escorts won't be giving any instructions

until we get to the middle floors, starting on Floor 31.

Until then, it'll be just like yesterday,

with the new recruits taking the lead.

FLOOR 24

FLOOR 29

Well done, both of you.

Hooray!

They still believe in me.

Good.

We've reached the 31st floor.

FLOOR 31

I'll be giving the orders from now on.

I need to stay sharp.

I sense monsters ahead.

Everybody ready?

Yes.

Yup!

Caroline, draw the goblins' attention.

Roger!

Same as ever...

Sophia, you take the orcs in the back.

O-Okay!

Logan, boost them with magic...

Agility Up.

Technical Up.

Magic Up!

His orders are the ones that anybody would give.

Maybe he's nothing special after all.

Well, it doesn't matter.

My job doesn't change.

That'll take care of Caroline.

As for Sophia...

What are you doing, Sophia?

She said she was attacked by orcs before.

Don't tell me she's too traumatized to move.

He's not going to help her?

I can't count on him after all.

I'll have to save her myself...

Agility Down.

It's fine.

You've got your comrades Caroline and Logan, as well as me.

You're not alone now.

So stay calm and give it your best.

Okay, I will.

Fire Javelin!

No one told me she could use advanced magic...

Sophia, you're amazing!

I'm glad it worked!

Well done.

That was a good attack.

Thank you!

That debuff on the Orc, and Sophia's advanced magic...

Wasn't he banished from the Heroes Party?

What's going on here?

FLOOR 35

A D-Death Tarantula?!

We're not strong enough to fight that thing!

Now what?

Logan, give Caroline an Agility Up and a Durable Up.

And Sophia a Magic Up.

The same orders as always?!

Idiot, that's crazy.

Wait.

Why? Caroline is...

If you go to the front, you'll be at a disadvantage.

Jump over it while you slash at its back!

Roger!

Good.

Caroline, keep it focused on you.

It's venomous.

Watch its attacks carefully and make sure you dodge.

Okay!

Hey! Hey! Over here, Mr. Spider!

Logan, Caroline's mobility is depending on you.

Support her.

Okay!

Sophia, you pin him down.

Got it!

Aero Cutter!

Got him!

Not yet!

Logan, give Caroline a Strength Up and Technical Up!

Huh? Why?

Hurry.

Okay!

What is this?

What is this?

I can't break out...

No!

Caroline, cut the webs with your daggers.

You're strong enough now.

Okay, I'll try!

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Did he give those orders 'cause he knew this would happen?

Sophia, prepare a Rock Arrow.

Okay!

Logan, give Sophia another Magic Up.

The last one's about to wear off.

Okay!

I don't think I can do this, Mister!

Right now, Logan can only use three spells at once.

Fine.

Sharpness Up.

I did it! I'm free!

Okay. Sophia.

Okay! Rock Arrow!

Yay!

Sheesh.

We did it!

We sure did.
