I Got Kicked out by the Busty Beauties, but Now They Want Me Back... Sorry, It’s Too Late... Or Maybe Not?! - Vol 1 Chapter 1

“Shin, you’re fired.”

“…Huh?”

After completing the quest, our party, “White Lightning,” reported the completion as usual at the guild reception and then headed to the attached cafeteria for a meal. It was there that Raid, the leader and swordsman, suddenly directed those words at me.

“Fired… Raid, you’re joking, right?”

We had overcome so many hardships together for a long time. Our party rank was about to reach S rank, meaning we were close to becoming top-tier adventurers both in name and reality. And now, just when things were looking up, being told I was fired had to be some kind of mistake.

“I understand you don’t want to accept reality, but this is no joke. Shin, you’re fired.”

“W-Why?! We’ve always worked well together—”

“The reason is simple! Shin, you’re weak! Listen—”

Raid then vented all his frustrations at me.

According to him, as a magic swordsman, my sword skills were inferior to his. And I couldn’t use as much magic as our mage, Lena. Since the quest rank had increased, my usefulness had diminished, and one swordsman, himself, was enough for the party.

“W-What?! Hey, Lena, Nina, you two don’t agree with this, right?!”

According to the guild’s regulations, a member can only leave a party through their own request or a majority vote among the members. Violating this rule could result in expulsion from the guild or other penalties. So even if Raid said so, he shouldn’t be able to fire me on his own.

I stood up from my chair, avoiding Raid’s gaze, and desperately looked to the two women on either side of me.

On my right sat Lena, the mage. She had an incredible talent for handling various spells, and except for her limited mana, she was an undeniably skilled woman.

Her long black hair and sharp red eyes drew attention, and though her beauty might make her seem unapproachable, she was a kind-hearted woman who often offered a gentle smile and helped people with her magic. Many referred to her as a “Saint,” and she often looked out for me as well.

But what caught the most attention from men was the ample bust that pushed up her pure white robe, making it sway provocatively with even the slightest movement. This sight was a feast for the eyes of many adventurers, and there were rumors that she was the subject of many a night’s fantasies.

“S-Sorry. It’s the leader’s decision…”

“!”

Seeing Lena turn her face away with a pained expression made the reality of being fired weigh heavily on my heart for the first time.

Still in shock, I turned to look at Nina, who sat on my left.

Nina, the thief, possessed various skills useful for stealing, disarming traps, unlocking doors, gathering information, and more. She was a vital support member in non-combat situations, and though her attack power was lacking in battle, her speed allowed her to outmaneuver enemies.

With short red hair and cat-like eyes that were always narrowed in a cheerful smile, she was the lively mood maker of the group. Her playful and cute demeanor made her popular among many adventurers.

She, too, had a prominent chest, but unlike Lena, Nina wore a revealing outfit—a short-sleeved top that exposed her thighs and a skimpy chest wrap, showing more than half of her breasts. This seductive attire was highly stimulating for men. Though she claimed it was convenient for gathering information, she was sensitive to the stares of men and often teased those who dared look.

“Yeah! I feel bad, but Shin, you’ve been getting hurt a lot lately, right? The leader’s right, and I think it’s better this way.”

Her casual tone was in stark contrast to Lena’s, but it seemed she wasn’t against firing me either.

“N-No way…”

I fell to my knees beside the table, and from above me, I heard Raid’s voice.

“Do you get it now? Shin, you’re already fired. Besides, we’ve already decided on a new member! …Hey, Fana, come over here!”

Raid called out triumphantly, and a woman walked over from a nearby table.

“Let me introduce you. This is Fana, the sage. She’ll be taking your place and supporting us with her magic… though I doubt you’ll ever see her again.”

“Wha… What…?”

I looked up to see a woman dressed in a black-and-white sister’s habit, standing there apologetically.

She was a beautiful woman with waist-length blonde hair and gentle blue eyes, radiating a maternal warmth.

And she, too, had a voluptuous chest.

The sight of her large breasts straining against her tightly fitted sister’s habit seemed far removed from the pure image of a sage, more like the tempting allure of a succubus.

“If you understand, then please leave now. We need to discuss our new plans for the future.”

I quietly stood up, looked around at Raid’s sneering face, Lena’s downcast eyes, Nina’s awkward smile, and Fana’s confused blinking, then grabbed my belongings.

“…Got it. Thanks for everything.”

Without looking back, I left the guild.

I heard voices from behind me—

“Wait! Um, Raid-san, didn’t you say Shin-san could use support magic—”

“Ah, Fana-chan, you don’t need to worry about him anymore. Let’s focus on our future plans. Tomorrow, we…”

—But none of it mattered anymore.

I booked a room at an inn and tried to think about what to do tomorrow as I lay down on the bed, but the frustration and shame left my mind unable to function.

Being kicked out by the three people I had been with since our lowest rank…

I had always thought I couldn’t match Raid’s swordsmanship or Lena’s magic, so I kept enhancing the trio with support magic, boosting their sword skills, magic power, magic control, agility, and more.

Even during battles, I used support magic to help them… only to end up like this, pathetic and laughable.

“I guess I’ll just go solo from now on, no more relying on others…”

I closed my eyes, canceled all the support magic I had continuously cast, and quietly waited for sleep to come.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Side: Fana

The night I joined “White Lightning,” I lay in bed, trembling.

It wasn’t from excitement or anticipation, but from the fear that I might have made a terrible mistake.

I had become an adventurer, striving to reach the heights of an S-rank party… and beyond. Through countless journeys, rigorous training, and grueling quests, I had finally reached the pinnacle of becoming a sage. When Raid-san’s party, which was on the verge of S-rank, invited me, I accepted without hesitation, especially since their guild records and reputation among adventurers were stellar. But I never expected them to drive out the magic swordsman, Shin-san.

I had traveled with many parties, completed quests with various people, and encountered all sorts of professions—not just common swordsmen or mages, but also beast tamers, warriors, shield bearers, black magicians, and so on. I had seen many skills and learned from them.

Yet, I had never encountered this “support magic” before.

Raid-san described it as just minor support, but can magic that enhances others’ abilities really be considered so trivial?

If my worst fears were correct, then this party might have just driven out an incredible person.

I closed my eyes tightly and trembled as I waited for sleep to come.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Side: Lena

We’ve expelled Shin.

Even though I really wanted to continue adventuring together.

But it’s all because I lack power.

I knew Raid despised Shin, but I never thought he would go this far.

At first, I opposed Shin’s expulsion, but I was implicitly threatened that if I didn’t agree, Raid might kill him during the next quest.

I even considered leaving the party with Shin, but Raid told me that if I left, Shin would be held responsible, and there was nothing I could do.

“Shin, I’m sorry.”

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Side: Nina

I feel bad for Shin.

But lately, he’s been getting injured a lot, and if something happened during a high-rank quest, I’d never forgive myself.

Raid kicked him out because he didn’t like him, but honestly, I only sided with Raid because he’s stronger in swordsmanship. As a person, I much prefer Shin, even though Raid gives off a bad vibe with the way he looks at people.

Ugh, I feel so guilty.

Once things cool down, I’ll explain everything to him and apologize properly. At the very least, I want to stay friends.

“I wonder what Shin’s doing now?”
