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

THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES HAS A BAD FEELING

Come on, get seated.

The meeting's about to start.

I can't believe I get to go dungeon-delving with my comrades again...

I can't betray everyone's expectations for me,

after they've let me join them.

About today's plans...

The Adventure Management Division has asked us to collect Noxious Sheep pelts.

We'll be practicing our teamwork on Floor 86...

I'll make sure we all get to Floor 94,

so we're equal with the Heroes Party!

We will begin our exploration of Floor 86!

It's the lower floors of the Great Dungeon,

but the scenery's so nice it makes you want to relax.

Every floor above us is just caves, after all.

One of the great things about reaching

the lower floors is the different scenery you can enjoy.

No letting your guard down.

Our goal is the Noxious Sheep,

but there's lots of tough Earth Dragons down here too.

Once again, our major goal here is to see how we work with Orhun.

Glad to have you here, Orhun.

Yeah, glad to be here.

Wil's job will be to keep the monsters' attention.

Rain will attack from the rear with magic.

Roger that!

Lucre, join the attack, but make sure you've got healing magic ready to go.

Okay!

I'll keep everyone buffed and give the orders.

And Orhun, you stay at the front as an attacker.

Got it.

You can probably defeat all the monsters yourself, Orhun.

Maybe we'll actually be slowing you down.

Orhun, if it's easier for you to just fight on your own, I'm okay with that.

I'm a part of this party.

You can give me orders.

If Orhun's off on his own, we can't learn to work with him, right?

That's right.

Sorry.

Don't space out on us, Boss.

That's not like you, Selma.

Watch out!

Orhun!

This attack...

An Earth Dragon.

I don't see it.

We have to find it, first.

Leave it to me.

I've got Magic Tracking!

Magic Tracking?

It's her special ability.

She can follow traces of magic to locate her foe.

Found it!

Flash!

My turn, then.

Watch me, Orhun!

Yeah... It's better that you see our strength for yourself.

Rain, prepare to attack.

Magic Up!

Hah-yah!

Well? Is that all you've got?

I'll fire off the big guns to celebrate Orhun's arrival!

Explode!

That was fast.

Right?

Well, Orhun?

I'm surprised.

You work together incredibly well.

You're being so polite again.

I was just so impressed.

I'm surprised that he didn't just block the attack, he canceled it.

That double blade is a weapon that barely anyone can use, too.

And the way she was able to construct

a special-rank skill like Explode at that speed...

It would've taken most casters twice as long.

And Lucre's Magic Tracking is amazing, too.

The hardest part of any dungeon dive is finding the monsters.

You could say it's indispensable for a party.

And Selma's leadership abilities bring them together.

They're an ideal party.

Why are you staring at me?

I was just thinking how impressive you and Unit 1 are.

Aw, we're not that special...

Selma's blushing!

Lucre!

Looks like we woke up some sleeping kiddos.

Two of them, huh?

Perfect. Let's practice our teamwork.

Let's go, Orhun.

Yeah.

Wh-What's wrong?

Rock Arrow!

A Hiding Turtle?

Good catch, Orhun.

This is bad. We're trapped between it and the Earth Dragons.

Hiding Turtles have tough shells, but move slow.

Rain, Lucre, you handle it.

Roger!

Wil, Orhun, take down the Earth Dragons!

Don't worry about what's behind you!

Got it!

Her decisions and orders came fast.

She's somebody you can trust.

Leave it to me!

Go around to the side, Orhun.

Selma?

This is my special ability, Telepathy.

I can communicate from a distance.

What? That's incredibly useful!

Th-Thank you...

Target the Earth Dragons' blind spot!

Buff yourself how you want.

I'll let you decide.

Roger!

Wil, keep them distracted!

I know that, Boss!

Stop calling me that!

Rain, how's it looking?

It's just a turtle with a tough shell.

We're fine. Leave it to us.

Selma's special ability is incredible.

It's what I wanted most of all when I was in the Heroes Party.

Strength Up!

Technical Up!

Sharpness Up!

I'm in position!

Match the timing with Wil!

Five seconds until attack.

Four, three, two...

Orhun, go for it!

Impact!

So that's "Impact"?

It's amazing!

It's because you lured them into position for me. Thanks.

How's the Hiding Turtle?

Wrapping up!

Mjölnir!

Ice Javelin!

Good work, everyone.

We're done.

Orhun, that was pretty good for your first time working with us.

It was great.

It's been forever since fighting was this easy for me.

Easier than when you were in the Heroes Party?

Yeah, I think so.

I'm so glad I was able to join you.

That makes us happy.

I'm happy too.

We're all helping each other.

That's normal for a party, but...

I'd almost forgotten how much fun it was...

You're amazing, too!

That "Impact" spell was amazing!

I've never seen anyone cut clean through two Earth Dragons before!

Thanks.

Orhun, may I ask a question?

Sure.

From your perspective, are we ready for Floor 92?

Yes, of course.

Because you're here?

No.

I think you could defeat the Black Dragon without me.

Really?

I mean it.

Your strength is enough to make me believe that.

Thank you.

We've worked as hard as we could for the past year...

But we didn't know if it had amounted to anything.

But hearing it from the dragonslayer makes me believe it!

They've probably practiced incredibly hard since losing Albert.

I'm sure that they're strong enough now to beat the Black Dragon.

But the Black Dragon is strong.

Incredibly strong.

Seeing its strength during the teaching expedition reminded me of that.

I don't want to lose anyone else.

I don't want any more deaths.

So please, fight with us.

We want your help.

Of course.

I'm a part of Unit 1 too.

Defeating the Black Dragon is Unit 1's long-held wish.

And I swore I'd protect my comrades to the end no matter what.

Right?

Thank you, Orhun.

Okay, all that's left is to hunt some Noxious Sheep!

Let's finish it up and go home.

Yeah!

The air on the surface smells so good!

How many Noxious Sheep did we end up killing?

Nine in total, I think.

Orhun did a great job of collecting the pelts,

so the mission was a success.

You did a great job on that, Orhun!

Thanks!

Lucre couldn't do it that cleanly.

You'd do it even worse than me!

I can do it a million times better than you.
