The 'SS' Rank Party.

It is the proof of the strongest party recognized by the Adventurer's Guild.

Not only the individual strength, but the combined power of each member is truly 'the strongest.'

And, the party I belong to is indeed the SS Rank Party, known as the strongest.

The members are:

Ambas, the Holy Knight who boasts an impenetrable defense.

His defense is truly impenetrable. It is said that he once held back an army of monsters single-handedly, earning him the nickname 'Fortress.'

Then,

Sheila, the Great Mage, known for possessing the pinnacle of human wisdom.

Her magic is truly supreme. It is said that she once burned a swarm of bugs that covered the sky, earning her the nickname 'Starfall.'

Then,

Regina, the Cardinal of the Church of the Holy Maiden, known for her pure heart and boundless compassion.

Her healing power is truly divine. It is said that she once quelled a plague that struck a cluster of small nations, earning her the nickname 'Goddess.'

And, recently joined,

Liz, the lone assassin rumored to be the right-hand of a secret guild.

Her true identity is unknown, except that she is female. She is a highly skilled adventurer dispatched from the civilian side to assist the S Rank Party, known by the nickname 'Shadow Emperor'...

Among them, the one who stands out the most is me...

Guenn, the errand boy and porter of the SS Rank Party '1'.

His attentiveness is truly motherly.

He single-handedly prepares meals, cleans, does laundry, sews, runs errands, babysits, and even teaches! He is also known for his precise and efficient administrative work for the guild, earning him the nicknames 'Errand Boy' and 'Parasite' from the party members.

And, the leader of this party, who must not be forgotten.

Manac, the super great swordsman, known for his excellent leadership and as the next hero, the key to the SS Rank Party.

His sword skills are truly divine. It is said that he once wiped out the vanguard of the Demon King's army single-handedly, earning him the nickname 'Hero'...

This is the formation of the SS Rank Party 'Warriors of Light,' known as the strongest in the history of adventurers and even among all generations.

Of course, when compared to my extraordinary teammates, Guenn is seen as nothing more than a 'parasite.'

In the guild, in the city, and even within the party, I am often the subject of gossip.

Then, why am I still in the party despite my lack of strength?

It's simple – because I was one of the initial members of Manac's party.

Of course, Manac wasn't always an SS Rank.

He started at E Rank, and the party began with Guenn, who was then a C Rank, as the leader.

Guenn, who is over ten years older, often took care of the young and talented Manac.

Sometimes as a senior, sometimes as a strict mentor or a parent...

During our adventures,

One by one, our companions fell or joined other parties, leaving only Guenn and Manac.

As time passed, it seems that Guenn, who was reaching his limits due to his age, was gradually overtaken by Manac.

...And before long, the roles were reversed.

At first, Manac was somewhat reserved, but as more excellent members joined, recognizing Manac's skills, the leadership roles were eventually swapped.

– From then on, it was hell.

Despite all the care I had given him, Manac began to treat Guenn like a slave.

Calling him "Old Man" and belittling him became a daily occurrence.

"Go buy this quickly" was one thing, but sometimes he used Guenn as a meat shield or a decoy.

Or, he would deliberately insult Guenn in front of the older members of the guild, doing whatever he pleased.

In the end, it even escalated to treating Guenn as an errand boy.

As a result, Guenn's status points were at Manac's mercy, and all his equipment and items were taken away.

But the reason Guenn clung to this party so much was his pride and affection as a founder.

And, he hoped that Manac would change someday.

He thought Manac was just a little overconfident due to youthful exuberance...

Yes, that's the only reason...

That's all...
