The Healer Banished From The Party, In Fact, Is The Strongest Chapter 47 - Pre-Subjugation Meeting

Raust

The next afternoon, I was heading toward the cafe chosen by Zieg-san as a place to discuss the phoenix subjugation.

However, despite this being right before an important discussion, I was walking with a heavy mood.

The problem that ca out from making those adventurers doing voluntary service to the city folks yesterday left fatigued.

First, the docunts necessary for adventurers to bring materials to the city, the fact that more than half of those adventurers couldnt write ant I had to write docunts for over 20 adventurers, which I just finished this morning.

That in itself was just hard labor, though the problem didnt end there.

The relationship between the adventurers and the city folks was too bad.

The adventurers were neglecting the city folks and they hate those adventurers.

In that situation, even if there was no problem, there was also no progress to be made.

Yesterday alone, I half-killed four adventurers who tried to put their hands on the young won in the city, they were supposed to treat her.

How many tis have I thought about retracting my previous statent, or not suggesting voluntary service from adventurers to the city?

Even so, in the end, I still kept the adventurers voluntary service continued, the material that circulated in the city was so low that I had to resort to this.

According to the talk with Marry-san, the price of material from the guild continued to rise.

Because of that, despite living in Labyrinth City for many years, so people already left, and if the adventurers didnt let the materials flow, Marry-san also considering leaving Labyrinth City.

Hearing that, I was at lost at what the guild wanted to do.

In any case, if this kept going as is, Marry-san and the others would surely have a hard ti.

Also, on top of the guild, the adventurers themselves were causing problems.

This ti, I showed my powers to the troublemaking adventurers and they beca obedient.

But that didnt an that the chance of adventurers to cause problems beca zero.

Hahh

Seeing no answer to this problem, I sighed.

I really didnt know what to do now.

Knowing that this wasnt a problem I could leave alone, I gathered more wrinkles in between my eyebrows without noticing.

Onii-san, are you alright?

Hearing Narsenas voice, I stopped my thinking.

Turning my head to the side, there, Narsena was staring at with a worried expression.

Still looking worried, Narsena opened her mouth.

If you feel unwell, Onii-san can rest

Her words made wonder if I really look that tired, and then I let out a strained laugh.

Actually, I felt quite tired because of yesterdays docunts problem and another one that I hadnt reached an answer yet.

I didnt have much ti to look at myself this morning, so I wasnt really aware of how fatigued I was looking.

Its fine, today is just a eting. Thank you for worrying about , Narsena.

Dont overdo it, alright?

Yeah I know.

Still, I didnt intend to be absent from this eting.

Im indeed tired, but thiss mainly ntal fatigue, so theres no need to be worried.

I also want to make sure I dont miss the eting for phoenix subjugation.

Narsenas ability is far higher than , her brain is no exception.

However, shes still lacking in experience and monsters knowledge, shes emotional too sotis.

Aside from other quests, a quest with super-high difficulty monsters such as a phoenix like this should be accompanied by who should have more experience.

I can see it!

I put together my thought and then the eting place ca to sight.

When I saw the cafe, I refocused myself.

Anyway, lets forget about the adventurers and the guild for now and focus on the phoenix subjugation.

Having renewed my determination, I quicken my pace as I head to the cafe.

When we arrived in the cafe, Zieg-sans party was already waiting.

Apparently, Zieg-sans party consisted of him and two females.

Err, thank you for the other day.

Dont worry. Now, lets focus our mind on phoenix subjugation.

Y-Yes!

Among them was Armia, seeing her bowing her head to Narsena, I involuntarily smiled.

Ummm, Raust-san.

Hmm?

But after talking to Narsena, Armia turned toward . Not knowing what she wanted, I was dumbfounded for a mont.

Im sorry for everything!

Huh?

Without noticing my reaction, Armia, as she bowed, she pushed sothing at .

The thing Armia shoved toward was a leather bag filled with money.

A-Ahhh, I will accept both your apology and the remuneration.

It was then I understood that Armia was apologizing to , I hurriedly reached out.

I have only this for now, but I will definitely pay you back. Im really sorry for treating you unfairly in Sword of Lightning, Raust-san.

After I received the leather bag, Armia raised her head for a mont and then lowered for an apology again.

Emmm, I understand?

I couldnt hide my confusion when I saw Armia.

Speaking of change of attitude, the adventurers in Labyrinth City clearly worsen, but apparently, Armia also changed a lot.

At the last encounter, I didnt notice because she was a ss, but Armias personality seed to be quite different.

Now, lets talk about Phoenix.

For a while, I was obviously shaken from the unexpected change, but Zieg-sans voice returned my calm.

Were here to discuss about phoenix subjugation, not to show off Armias change.

I told myself so, stowed my surprise in the back of my mind, and then sit down on the chair.

Well then, should we start?

After making sure I sat down properly, Zieg-san nodded and announced so.

With that, the discussion started with Zieg-san as the facilitator.

The discussion was about phoenix subjugation, but in essence, it was about how to take care of the phoenixs fla armor.

Fla armor, it was the fla covering the phoenix.

That fla that covered its body also protected it, exactly like armor.

And that fla armor was said to be the most troubleso ability of the phoenix.

Unlike other monsters, Phoenix has inferior physical ability and durability.

It could release magic comparable to a magician with skills, but because it only had long-range attacks, its movent worsened if you could get close.

Despite this, Phoenixs nickna was the vanguard killer.

The reason was the fla armor.

The armor that protected its body emitted extrely high temperatures that no human could hope to survive it.

Almost all weapons would be useless after one or two blows.

One couldnt even attack with half-baked weapons in the first place.

In front of that fla armor, you could think of and Narsena as almost useless.

Even if Narsena equipped with heat resistant gauntlet and I fought with a greatsword, we could only attack once or twice.

If it was Zieg-sans magic sword, then it might be able to break the fla armor, but there was no way for Zieg-san to beat a super-high difficulty monster alone.

In other words, the conventional thod to subjugate a phoenix was to depend on magicians, in our case, it was Armia.

And yet, for a magician, to deal damage to Phoenix wasnt easy.

After all, Phoenix had a keen sense of magic.

Just as the magician started casting, the phoenix would change its target to that magician and fired fireballs.

If it released long-range attacks, vanguard wouldnt be able to keep it in check just like the other super-high difficulty monster, the hydra.

Those characteristics were what transford Phoenix which was inferior compared to other super-high difficulty monsters into a terrible and troubleso being.

That was why, Narsena and I were going to forcibly fight by bringing a large number of weapons and using them in a disposable manner.

Honestly, by adding Zieg-sans party, we would have a magician to help, but the number of people remained small.

Considering there were more than a dozen people in a normal phoenix subjugation group, we might be better off using a brute force approach than to rely on the unskillful Armia.

I had such an idea while we exchanged information for our quest.

If its Armias magic, then she could strip off Phoenixs armor without chanting the magic

Wha-!

However, Zieg-sans words changed my thought greatly.

If we could take care of the phoenixs fla armor, the phoenix would be greatly weakened.

To unleash magic capable of stripping Phoenixs armor without chanting, even for Armia who has the skill to strengthen water magic, she will need considerable ti and concentration And it cant be used against Phoenix that fires fireballs indiscriminately.

I think it will be fine.

Huh?

I who thought so, voiced my thought toward the uneasy Zieg-san, interrupted him.

I can attract the phoenix for so ti.

What?

Seemingly unable to believe my words, Zieg-san lost his words for a mont.

However, after looking at Narsena and Armia who nodded to affirm my words, he understood that what I said was true and he slack-jawed in surprise.

As expected from a person who defeated that hydra

But the next mont, Zieg-sans expression changed from dumbfounded into a ferocious smile as he opened his mouth.

If thats the case, then we can certainly kill the phoenix.

The words were filled with unconcealed excitent and joy.

Im aware I barely releasing any chapter last month, thanks to Rimworld addiction, I will make sure this change this month, I will try a daily release going forward (not this title alone, so you can expect a chapter every 3 days)

On a side note, I think I make a mistake on the magic chanting part, but I need to recheck both previous chapter and future chapter, instead of delaying the release, I decide to release the chapter and fix it later, it only becos relevant in chapter 10 or 11 anyway, so I have one more chapter to fix it
