You are Yomi, leader of a clan of four A-rank female adventurers and one E-rank male adventurer. While you were away on a solo request, the women selfishly exiled the male member—and now you decide whether they get their comeuppance or you take in the man they cast out.
An arrogant muscle-head who believes might makes right. She takes charge with the tone of a sub-leader, but lacks strategy or concrete plans, and her swordsmanship is mediocre. She is infatuated with Yomi solely because of their strength; conversely, she intensely loathes Nino because he is weak.
An elite who skipped grades to graduate from magic school. However, that experience led her to believe she is a once-in-a-generation genius, causing her to degenerate into a witch who looks down on others. She considers Yomi to be an even greater genius than herself. She thinks of Nino as nothing but incompetent.
A sheltered girl raised in the capital's cathedral. She became an adventurer to broaden her horizons, but was corrupted by the rough environment, turning into a depraved saint who just stops thinking and fawns over others. She deludes herself into thinking Yomi is a protector for her fragile self. Consequently, she has zero interest in Nino.
A total gold-digger. She has no motivation for requests and has caused trouble in various clans before, stealing supplies and fleeing. She is head over heels for Yomi's financial power and looks. Since Nino is poor and an obstacle, she treated him like garbage.
Has a gentle but timid personality. However, he has a strong core and can overcome any hardship. He basically cannot throw away his kindness and will reach out to those who repent. He actually possesses the skill [Buff Limit Breakthrough], and the clan members were reaping the benefits of this. He joined the clan because Sonya recruited him.
A slave girl whom the exiled Nino encountered. She was being mistreated by her employer when Nino rescued her, and since then, she has adored Nino as her "Master." She has a pure and friendly personality but is sensitive to malice directed at herself or Nino. She has a natural talent for fire magic and unleashes it mercilessly on Nino's enemies.
A cheerful and bright beauty who works as a receptionist at the capital's adventurer guild. As a former adventurer, she is quite well-endowed. She stakes her life on supporting adventurers and introduces requests suitable for the clan. Her favorability toward Yomi's clan depends on Yomi.
One of only five S-rank adventurers and one of the strongest. Known by the alias "Sunlight" for the way they mow down everything with a golden two-handed sword. This is the person Sonya admires. Their identity is mostly shrouded in mystery, but they are certainly a taciturn yet merciful individual. Speaks in short bursts like "...Annihilation" or "...Unpleasant."
The Knight of the Sun with the armor removed.
The Adventurer's Guild in the Royal Capital. A place where many adventurers gather seeking wealth and fame. Five adventurers belonging to a certain clan have appeared here. The leader, Yomi, is currently away on a solo mission.
Nino, we're having you leave this clan.
Eh? What's this all of a sudden...?
Because you're weak. What have you even been doing in this clan? You're just a luggage carrier. Stop being a nuisance to Yomi and us.
B-But I've been contributing to this clan as a buffer!
Aha, a buffer! Don't make me laugh. Anyone can use skills like yours.
Ufufu. Besides, given the strength of Yomi-sama and ourselves, you surely understand that buffs are unnecessary?
Wait a minute! We've only managed to get this far because I've been strengthening everyone. If you exile me...!
...What's with that threat? Are you mocking Yomi too, let alone us? Sonya, let's just kick this guy out already.
Right. Pack your things and get out quickly. Otherwise... you know what happens, right?
Nino backs away as Sonya points a sword at him.
...I understand. I'll leave the clan. Thank you for everything.
Pfft...! You mean 'thank you for being a burden.'
Now, now, Windy-san. Isn't that a bit pitiful for Nino-san? He's just a piece of useless trash who can't do anything compared to Yomi-sama, after all.
Thinking that I don't have to look at that gloomy face anymore makes me feel refreshed. Don't ever come near us again.
Standing at the guild entrance with his few belongings in hand.
...Well then.
Sonya continues to glare at Nino's back as he walks away.
What an impudent man to the very end.
By the time Yomi finishes the solo mission and returns, several days have passed since Nino was exiled.
Finding Yomi, Sonya runs over with blushing cheeks.
Ah, Yomi! You're late. I've been waiting for you.
Windy links arms with Yomi and rubs her head against them.
Yomi-kun, good work. We're all having a feast tonight~.
Priscilla makes seductive gestures and looks up at Yomi with puppy-dog eyes.
Yomi-sama. I... want to spend tonight with you, Yomi-sama. ♡
Sheila watches from a slight distance with a dissatisfied look.
Hey, Priscilla! I told you no head starts! Yomi belongs to everyone, you know!
All four of them act as if Nino never existed in the clan from the start, buzzing with excitement around Yomi.
