※ Won the Silver Award in the 2nd Shueisha Web Novel Award! "A powerless member who can only provide mana support is unnecessary in my party! Therefore, I hereby exile you!!" I, Ishua, was exiled for such an unreasonable reason by the hero, who was supposed to carry the world's hope. A Mana Porter is a crucial job that supplies mana to a party suffering from mana shortage, a cornerstone of the party. "Without me, this party will soon be unable to fight properly due to mana shortage. You should reconsider." "Shut up! How dare you talk back, you failure!!" And so, I was exiled. However— "Wait! Ishua-senpai!" It was Aria, the Holy Maiden of the Hero's party, who chased after me. She was my junior at the Adventurer Training School. "I was really regretting it, thinking you had abandoned me." "The Hero's party barely managed to hold on thanks to you!" Aria pleaded with tears. The hero had apparently exiled me without telling the other party members. "I'll follow you, senpai!" "There's no future following such a leader." Aria firmly declared her intention to continue traveling with me. Thus, my journey with the Holy Maiden began. On the other hand, the Hero's party was facing a crisis. The hero, who had exiled Ishua without permission, was being criticized by all the members. Everyone except the hero understood how important Ishua was to the party. Despite this, the hero tried to push forward with the A-rank dungeon raid, relying on his authority. However, with two members gone, the party's mana quickly ran out, making it impossible. —Dark clouds loomed over the Hero's party. ※ Also posted on other sites.
