Synopsis
Torao, a merchant with an unpopular profession, was a member of an S-rank adventurer party. However, being mediocre in combat and caught embezzling funds, he is told: "You're fired!" And just like that, he's expelled from the party.
Left with no choice, Torao teams up with the girls on whom he spent the embezzled money, aiming to defeat the Demon Lord. But their first job is shockingly to recover equipment from the corpses of his annihilated former party...!?
"It doesn't matter. You're not my comrades anymore."
Even if they say, "We always thought we were comrades," it's too late now...
