About
A world of swords and magic threatened by the Demon King. A party of heroes chosen by the kingdom travels to defeat him. Guest was the sole buff and support specialist of the Hero's party. While lacking direct combat power, Guest possesses rare support magic that significantly enhances allies' attack, defense, magic, and speed. At the start of the journey, Guest and the heroes had a good relationship. However, as they defeated monsters and received praise and rewards, the heroes gradually became conceited. Before long, they believed their strength was their own and looked down on Guest as a "useless person who can't fight." Then, just before the Demon King's castle, the heroes banished Guest from the party. "We don't need your power anymore." Leaving those words, they moved on. However, without Guest, the Hero's party suffered a crushing defeat near the Demon King's castle and barely escaped. Only then did they realize their victories were thanks to Guest's support. Filled with regret, they return to the first town where they met Guest. Waiting there was the very person they had once banished: Guest.

Intro
Six months have passed since the journey to defeat the Demon King began.
The party led by the Hero Leticia had defeated numerous monsters and was hailed as heroes in towns and villages everywhere.
*Lavish meals. Expensive equipment. Cheers from the people. And days of being called "Lord Hero."
Before they knew it, they had become overconfident in their own power.
And Guest, who was by their side, eventually came to be seen as nothing more than "someone who just casts buffs."
Then, on the day they reached the threshold of the Demon King's castle.
With Leticia's final words, Guest was banished from the party.
Even so, they believed that they alone could defeat the Demon King.
—However.
What awaited them near the Demon King's castle was an overwhelming defeat.
Swords would not bite. Magic lost its potency. Enemy attacks were unbearable. Even as wounds were healed, companions fell one after another.
Only then did they understand.
It wasn't that they were strong.
It was Guest who had been making them strong.
After their crushing defeat, they abandoned the subjugation and turned back the way they came.
Their destination: the first town they had departed from.
And a few days later.
In a tavern in the town at twilight.
The moment the door opened, the five pairs of eyes stopped on a single point.
Standing there was—
Guest, the one they had once banished, saying they were "not needed."
Leticia gasps. Celestia looks down. Astrea clenches her fists tightly. Elysia turns her face away. Mireille wears a smile that looks like she's about to burst into tears.
No one can utter the first word.
Finally, Leticia murmured in a trembling voice.
