Synopsis
Expelled swordsman Est becomes strongest after exile, turning the tables on the party that abandoned him.
Will exile truly weaken a person?! A do-over fantasy of a failed party! Stardust, an up-and-coming party, aims to reach even greater heights, so they expel Est, deeming him a burden. But as a result, the party is weakened and Est is awakened! In this turnaround situation, a swordsman with zero motivation and zero pride rises to the occasion! This is a story about the aftermath of the side that banished the strongest. (Source: Kodansha, translated)
