The Story Of The Banished Side After Banishing The Party. The Party Was Weakened, But We Aim To Be The Best In The World

ficulty of the chores, she turned her head down again with a dark look on her face.

 

“I see………
Est did all this hard work for me.
I've thanked him every time, but I don't think I've been very thoughtful.
I feel bad…….”

 

“I don't think you need to be thankful or sorry.
He just wanted to do it himself.”

 

Est did it on his own without ever consulting us.

 

I tried to help him, but he said with a wistful look on his face, “It's okay, I can only do so much…….” I had no choice but to back off.

 

I felt guilty about only being able to use the magic I had been enchanted, so I tried to do something else.

 

At that time, as a man, I thought I shouldn't take his job.

 

“Est, if you don't hurry up, I'll leave you behind!”

 

“Don't keep staring at me, come on, let's go.”

 

“Sorry, sorry, I'm coming.”

 

“Oh no~……
what's a rumor, what's a rumor?”

 

I thought I heard a familiar voice, and then I saw Est on a small bridge in the distance.

 

On his side were two beastmen girls, looking like they were having a good time.

 

Hey, hey, hey, Est, aren't you a quick hand?

 

You had a crush on Athena for so long, and now you were already surrounding yourself with girls.
I envied you.

 

And they were pretty hot girls, too.
I heard a rumor that they both came from the beastman country.

 

I was glad you were having a good time, but now wasn't the right time.

 

Athena was going to get depressed again.

 

Fearfully, I looked sideways at Athena's face and to my surprise, she was smiling.

 

“Hey, I thought you'd be more shocked, but you seem surprisingly unconcerned.”

 

“There's no such thing as shock when you've banished someone.
It's the opposite…….
I was saved by the fact that he seemed to be having fun.
The last time I saw him, he was insane.
I was worried.
I just want to thank the two beastmen.
They saved Est's heart.”

 

“You're so kind.”

 

I thought I'd be worried when I saw Est doing so well, unlike my down-and-out self, but guess my fears were unfounded.

 

This guy wasn't that kind of a nut.

 

“Okay, let's stop by on the way home.”

 

“Where are we going?”

 

“That's something we'll have to wait for when we get there.”

 

***

 

“Is that the clothing store……?”

 

“Oh, yeah, I'm coming in.”

 

“Hey, wait!”

 

I brought Athena to a clothing store.

 

When I entered the store, the shopkeeper, who was very business oriented, immediately ran up to me.

 

“Welcome~~ how can I help you today?”

 

“Can you help me find some clothes to fit her?”

 

“Yes~! Yes, sir! Oh my, you look so beautiful.
You have a very beautiful face, and you have a great style.
It's a shame that you're wearing such tacky clothes.
Come on, come quickly.”

 

“What? Oh, hey, Dale, what's this all about?”

 

“Have fun!”

 

I smiled and waved to Athena as she left, being tugged by the arm by the shopkeeper, who was a strong character.

 

The reason for visiting the clothing store was to buy Athena some decent clothes.

 

She had some pretty good equipment for the labyrinth, but all she had for her personal clothes was some men's-looking, tacky clothing.

 

Since she's so good looking, it would be a shame if she didn't have a cute outfit or two.

 

As I waited for her to finish, a female waitress came in with Athena, who was dressed in cute clothes.

 

“How do you like it? Do I look great?”

 

“Oh, it looks great on you.”

 

“Ugh, I'm so embarrassed…….”

 

Wrapped in light blue-based clothing, Athena was sighingly pretty.

 

I was sure it's a waste not to wear this kind of clothing.

 

“I'll take this one, shopkeeper.”

 

“Thank you for your purchase!”

 

“Hey Dale! What are you trying to buy?　These clothes cost a fortune!”

 

“No, lady, it's a woman's duty to let her man show off his good side.
Be nice and let him buy it for you.”

 

The shopkeeper knew exactly what he was talking about.

 

“So, here's the money, okay?”

 

“Yes, I got it for sure.”

 

“Thanks, I'll come back.
Here you go, Athena.”

 

“Uu……”

 

“We look forward to seeing you again.”

 

We left the store with our clothes on.

 

I teased Athena, whose face was turning bright red with embarrassment, with a smirk on my face.

 

“Don't be shy.
Are you that embarrassed?”

 

“I can't help it.
It's the first time I've ever worn such feminine clothes.”

 

“I thought so.
You're so good looking, it would be a shame if you didn't own at least one of these outfits.
In case you haven't noticed, it really looks good on you.”

 

“Don't make fun of me……”

 

Athena turned her head away in a childish manner.

 

Finally, she showed her childish side.

 

I had always acted like an adult, so it must have been a nice change of pace.

 

“Thank you……
I'll take good care of it.”

 

“Oh, by all means, please do that.”

 

We both walked back to the party house in silence for the rest of the way.
