“I roughly understand the situation.”

Amy, the childhood friend of the protagonist Ronan who was the main heroine of ‘The Hero and Party Members,’ entered my room.

Wow… I didn’t know I would actually see this trashy woman?

At first, I was somewhat confused, but seeing that face, along with the anger boiling in my chest, my heart began to calm down.

I could now immediately tell that I had been possessed.

“No way… Was that special reward real?”

Realizing that I had been possessed, I remembered that they said they would give a special gift to the first person to play the game before playing it.

Come to think of it, there was something before the game started…

They said they would reveal the gift after clearing it, but I didn’t expect anything great.

I thought they might just give me a coupon or something, but maybe being possessed like this is the actual special reward?

“This is ridiculous…”

It’s really quite absurd when you think about it again.

Where is the creator who possesses someone just for clearing the game?

Even though I didn’t like the game much, I’m a decent gamer who wouldn’t write 5700 characters about it…

It was a bit annoying, but right now, it didn’t seem like the time to worry about that sort of thing.

Right now, it seems more appropriate to focus on the mop in front of me.

“W… What? A m… mop? You need a mop? And in pink? Is there such a mop? I don’t really know…”

In front of me was Amy, the main heroine of this game that I despised so much.

The woman who led the protagonist to ruin was right in front of me.

She seemed completely oblivious, with an innocent expression, thinking she really needed a pink mop and fumbling around.

“She’s trying to act cute, it’s disgusting.”

Someone might find that version of Amy cute, but don’t be fooled. There wasn’t a single ounce of truth in that appearance.

“I’m not Ronan, who knows nothing…”

Because I knew all the truths, looking at Amy in that state made me feel nauseous from the bottom of my heart.

Ronan might think, “Amy is so pure… so cute.” But I am definitely not like that.

I was feeling like, “This trashy woman is putting on an act,” and honestly, I wanted to cut her throat with the sword that was in the room right now.

But thinking rationally, I probably couldn’t do such a thing.

A murder case can’t happen from the start of possession, right?

Even if I may or may not be able to leave this world, I’m not the type to do things without thinking ahead.

After taking a deep breath, I faced Amy calmly.

“No. So what did you come here for?”

Of course, even if I won’t kill her, I had no intention of treating her kindly.

With a slightly annoyed expression, I asked Amy.

“Oh. I was worried about Ronan. Hehe.”

Yet, despite that, Amy, as if not noticing my cold expression, answered with a big smile.

“So, what’s the matter?”

Again, I’m not fooled by that disgusting smile.

I asked Amy in an even colder and lower tone than before.

“Um… Ronan seems cold… I thought we could have a meeting about our party…”

Finally, she started to explain the purpose of coming here obediently.

That’s right. It’s hard to believe she came here purely out of worry for Ronan.

From the beginning, whenever she came to see Ronan, it was to ask for something.

Would a dog stop pooping?

My prediction was spot on.

“Got it. I’ll go down right away. Just wait a bit.”

Well, still, it wasn’t bad.

After I said I understood, I closed the door.

“You probably want to leave the hero party, right?”

I can bet my life on why Amy came here.

Now that there’s nothing left to take from Ronan, she must be about to leave the party.

“Ronan’s condition right now is beyond words.”

I could tell by looking at Ronan’s current state.

With these kinds of injuries, even Ronan chosen as a hero couldn’t fight anymore.

It meant he was no longer valuable to Amy.

“I didn’t want to be in this kind of party either.”

If it were Ronan, he would have asked to stay at the party somehow, but I’m different.

I never wanted to be in this kind of party from the start. Not just Amy, the other two are accomplices in their own way, if not as much as Amy…

Do I have any reason to exert myself for them?

I was planning to leave without being told to.

“Let’s go settle this.”

Maybe it’s better if they ask us to leave.

If we can’t leave now, it’s a confirmed bad ending where we die for the sake of the party members.

I carefully put on Ronan’s clothes scattered in the inn room, grabbed his belongings like the sword and bag, and went down to the first floor of the inn.

“Guys… Ronan has come down. Ronan is over here. This way!”

Then, I saw three people gathered around a table on the first floor of the inn.

First, Amy, Ronan’s childhood friend, gestured towards me when she saw me.

I went down the stairs and sat where the three party members were.

“Oh. Ronan is here? You look… a bit in pain.”

After I fully sat down, the rest of the party members greeted me.

A twin-tailed girl with blue hair, who had a somewhat sullen expression, caught my eye.

Although she had a slightly young figure, her chest was quite large compared to her frame.

Overall, her very sensual figure made her feel realistic, fitting for a game character.

This woman was Charlotte, the magician of the hero party Ronan belonged to.

“I’m glad you’re here, Ronan. You look much better.”

As I glanced somewhat disapprovingly at Charlotte, this time, Trisella, the cleric of the hero party, approached me.

As the party member with the largest chest and hips, she was a heroine with glamorous golden hair and a warm demeanor.

Just like a nun in a game, she seemed very sexy and provocative.

“Trisella has already done everything with her butt, right?”

Of course, this nun, no matter how pretty or busty, was just a traitor who betrayed Ronan, so I couldn’t see her in a positive light.

Trisella, like the others, may not have given herself to another hero as a virgin, but she had long indulged in other activities.

She was just another woman who sold her conscience like the rest of the party members.

“Among these trashy women, Ronan is really…”

Once again, among these three trashy women, Ronan, who dreamed of pure love, was truly remarkable.

Ronan, what kind of fights have you been through…

And he was pitied.

Ronan, who was only deceived, talented and more heroic than anyone else, why did you have to suffer so much? It was truly heartbreaking.

“I absolutely shouldn’t be like that.”

But one thing is certain, I had no affection for party members as I was not Ronan, and I had no sense of responsibility for the hero.

So, I had no intention of sacrificing anything for these people.

I might as well join the Demon King’s army.

“I have something to say to you all, so I’ll speak first.”

I plan to build a proper negotiation.

In the tense atmosphere, I spoke first.

“Do you want to leave my party?”

“…!!!?”

As I took the lead and spoke, everyone seemed surprised.

Well, they probably didn’t expect these words to come from the clueless Ronan first.

It would be a natural attitude considering how clueless Ronan was.

“I have no intention of stopping those who want to leave. You are free to go. I won’t stop you.”

With an expression that showed no regret, I confidently told the party members.

If they want to leave, they can leave.

“Even if you go to another hero, Jax’s party.”

It didn’t matter at all if they went to another hero’s party.

I had already made up my mind, and the party members had too.

It was only natural that we should part ways without blushing each other’s faces.

“… Is that so? Ronan knew too… Um… What should I say…”

After I finished speaking, the priest Trisella looked somewhat flustered as she spoke.

She appeared apologetic.

“Well, you’re right. I didn’t realize… Ronan. I’m sorry.”

Compared to Trisella, the wizard Charlotte seemed more composed.

Although she looked slightly surprised, she was the most practical among the party members.

She acknowledged it somewhat coolly and accepted my words.

“Okay. This marks the end of the hero’s party. Farewell.”

A hero’s party that could end with just a few words…

It was a situation that revealed there was hardly any trust or friendship among the party members.

Anyway, it seems like everything that needed to be said has been said.

We met, it was dirty, let’s never meet again.

I stood up from my seat, ready to leave the inn.

“Ronan. I have one last thing to say.”

But then, someone called out to me.

It was Amy, Ronan’s childhood friend and a knight in the hero’s party.

Why is she calling me all of a sudden?

What does she want to say?

As I looked at her with a somewhat unfavorable gaze.

“We don’t hate you…”

Amy tearfully apologized to me, saying that they all made this decision because they cared about me.

“We did it because we care about you… I’m really sorry… Sorry… Ronan.”

Her eyes seemed like they were about to burst into tears.

“Hah. Just when I was about to leave…”

Seeing that sight, I felt the anger I had been holding back start to explode.

Where did this charade of selling lies come from?

“Could you please stop saying such disgusting things?”

You never once liked Ronan, did you???
