An S-ranked Party’s Burden Tamer, I Awoke My True Power by Having My Familiar Killed - Chapter 16

“If that’s the case, the guild will have to add some members to the party, so that they won’t lose their S-rank certification”

“I’m sorry but…”

“No, that’s a natural decision and it’s not something Land-san should have to worry himself about… but…”

She let out a deep sigh that made her look even cuter.

“Even so, the guild still wants an S-rank party.”

“Yeah, although this place is far away from the imperial capital, it is on the frontier in a margrave’s territory, so when it came to national defense, I’m sure they were thankful to have S-ranked adventurers here as permanent residents.”

It’s common for those who take actions across the entire continent to have a home base, and they will usually stop moving around as much when they are solo adventuring at an S-rank level. If a party reaches that point, and this happens frequently, it seems to give the guild peace of mind in case of emergency.

“Land-san, we could choose members from an S-ranked party to…”

“It will be hard to do with my power alone, but I am going to go solo from now on…”

“Is that so? That’s unfortunate.”

It really was too bad. I was happy she thought so highly of me, but being the leader of an S-ranked party is too much responsibility for me to handle. I think me being a luggage carrier was just about right.

“I think Land-san has received a lot of unfair treatment… I believe that if you got together with an especially strong B-ranked adventurer, that you could probably form an S-rank party.”

“That’s an over exaggeration, isn’t it…?”

Ever since I started adventuring I have always been in a party. The reality was that I didn’t know my true strength when alone.

“I think that Land-san was definitely the star of the party. You just need teammates who properly understand that.”

“I see…”

Well, it’s fine to consider what she’s saying and be a little happy isn’t it? I had thought about it sometimes when I was a Tamer, but there’s a part of me that thinks I should be able to do everything with a party of only familiars. Whether or not she knew my thoughts, Nina-san had asked me with upturned eyes.

“If I introduce someone will you accept them no matter what?”

“Well…”

‘If she goes that far, it would be impossible to decline.’ I thought to myself.

“Fufu. I’ll do my best to be able to introduce Land-san to someone.”

“No no. I’m fine with going solo for a while…”

“For example; someone who is studying necromancy.”

I immediately became worried.

“Or maybe someone who is an expert in dragons and can help Land-san become a dragon tamer.”

Now I was even more worried.

“Anyway, I will gather more information about Necromancy and Tamers.”

“Err… thank you.”

I finished our conversation for now while having the feeling that I would be introduced to a candidate for party member soon enough.
