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

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE

THE HEROES PARTY LOOKS BACK

I guess today is the last time I'll be seeing this sight.

Morning, Mister.

Morning!

Morning, all of you.

It's finally the last day, huh?

Yeah. Let's stay sharp so we all come back safe.

Hey, hey, Mister!

It'd make me happy if we got a reward for pulling this off!

You know?

A reward?

Is there something you want?

There sure is!

Right, Sophia?

If only Orhun would stay with the Night Sky Rabbits...

I think Sophia has something she wants from you, too.

Something she wants?

Well, um...

Orhun, um...

Orhun!

I need you over here.

Sorry, Sophia.

Hey, I heard the new Heroes Party

is going into the deepest part of the dungeon today!

So they're starting on Floor 94?

No, they're starting with Floor 92.

They need to see how they work together as a new party.

They're starting with Floor 92?

If they want to see how they work together,

they should be starting with the lesser floors, not the deeper ones.

Not that it's my problem anymore, huh?

SOUTHERN GREAT DUNGEON FLOOR 92

It's time for the reborn Heroes Party to have its first adventure!

That loser isn't holding us back anymore!

We have a new comrade!

We're aiming to clear the Southern Great Dungeon!

Yeah!

Thank you for having me!

Let's see what you can do.

Try to impress us.

It'll be fine. She's not like that jack-of-all-trades.

I-I'll do my best.

Even Luna should understand after this dungeon dive that we were right.

TWO DAYS AGO

H-Hello. I'm Philly Carpenter.

I'm honored to join the Heroes Party,

which is famous for reaching the 94th floor.

We're glad to have you.

Philly is a skilled adventurer who reached

the 100th floor in the Western Great Dungeon.

She'll be our party's first real enchanter.

No more lame buffs.

Well, we expect great things.

Thank you.

And thank you for this wonderful welcome party.

That obnoxious Orhun is gone, so we need to party.

I was shocked to see the accounts he was managing.

We had plenty of money!

Why was he so stingy?

Money's no good if you don't use it.

Um, isn't that money for the party's activities?

Enough about Orhun.

It's Philly's welcome party today.

Philly, welcome to the Heroes Party!

Sorry, everyone! I need to check something...

A guest?

It's fine. Continue.

But...

It's fine.

All right.

I heard that Orhun

is going into the Great Dungeon with the Night Sky Silver Rabbits.

How did that happen?

Orhun's with the Night Sky Silver Rabbits?

Hey, how could he end up with the Rabbits after just three days?

We told him he was weak!

He still thinks he's an S-Rank?

What do you mean?

What happened while I was gone?

Luna, I need you to stay calm...

You probably didn't know this, but that jack-of-all...

I mean, Orhun, left the party three days ago.

Orhun left the party?

So that means...

He finally gave up on us?

You're making it sound like we're the ones who were ditched.

It's the other way around.

We kicked that jack-of-all-trades out!

Is that true?

Yes. It is.

Let me introduce you to our new enchanter, and Orhun's replacement.

H-Hello...

I'd thought I'd made it clear that I was opposed to anyone taking Orhun's place.

Hey, our new comrade is saying hello!

Calm down, Derrick.

Luna, you have to understand that Orhun's not strong enough for us anymore.

I understand nothing of the sort.

He's clearly the core of this party.

We only made it this far because of him.

We can't go any further without him.

You may think that jack-of-all-trades is something special,

but the rest of the world doesn't!

And it's too late.

No amount of complaining will change anything.

Yes, maybe it is too late.

Since we're all here, let's talk about our immediate plans.

It's Philly's first time working with us,

so in two days, we'll test how we work together on Floor 92.

If everything works out, we'll move to Floor 94.

Sorry you have to do that for me.

Don't worry. We're comrades.

I'm opposed to this.

You... Not again!

Why are you opposed, Luna?

I have no desire to end up dead.

End up dead?

Did you hear that?

She says we're dead if we go to Floor 92.

I don't understand why.

Even if Philly is a skilled enchanter,

we should learn to work together on a lesser floor.

What?

We've already cleared Floor 93.

Floor 92 is simple.

There's a black dragon down there!

We were only barely able to win last time.

That was when Orhun was around.

Without that jack-of-all-trades holding us back, it'll be easy.

I don't want you to misunderstand this.

The black dragon is massively more powerful than us.

Our goal is merely to see how we work together.

We're not going to fight the black dragon.

Nah, of course we are!

Of course we are!

It's far too risky to go to the lowest floors without Orhun!

Rethink this—

Luna, this has been decided.

You aren't allowed to refuse.

My sword can't hurt it!

Get back, Oliver!

It's so heavy...

Every time my buffs wear off, it's like my whole body is covered in weights.

I can't keep this up!

Philly, why do our buffs keep wearing off?

S-Sorry! I haven't figured out how you all fight yet...

Does it take that long to figure out?

Orhun had everything figured out within an hour or so on the first day...

What are you doing, Derrick?

Sorry, I slipped!

What the hell's going on?

I used to be able to easily block stuff like this!

Fire Bullet!

Anneli! Stop messing around!

I'm doing it like I always do!

So why are all my attack spells so weak?

Like you always do?

Philly, buff Anneli!

I-I already have!

Do it again!

Okay!

Fire Bullet!

No way!

Why?!

Philly's support magic is supposed to be much more powerful than Orhun's.

What's going on here?

Oliver?!

Oliver! Do something!

Anneli, get around to its side!

This never happened before!

Philly, watch the monster's next attack and warn us!

Th-That's impossible!

It's the enchanter's job to keep an eye on everything

and understand the flow of battle!

I-I'm sorry!

It's all I can do right now to cast my support magic!

You're useless!

Derrick and Anneli aren't as strong as they usually are.

Neither am I.

I can't draw out my sword's power at all today.

In theory, Philly's support magic has

massively increased my physical abilities, but...

Damn it!
