I’m Not Good at Offensive Magic, but I’ll Do My Best With Support Magic!

「Uu… I’m embarrased」
「That was embarrassing」
「Me too…」

The three of us could not face up and leave the guild. Naturally, we ran away and left the guild.

「I wonder where Shia went」
「It’s not fair!」

I wanted to use Vanish to escape as well, but since I had been assigned party leader, I could not escape from that place.

「Can’t you look for Shia-san from the contract?」
「Yes, that’s right!」

I realized this when Kiara-chan told me. By the way, since we decided to form a party, Kiara-chan also started calling her Shia-san.
I am happy to hear that, but I will put that aside for now and look for Shia-san.

「It’s that alley over there」
「Let’s go」

Shia-san seemed to be not far from the guild.
I remembered that alley.

「As I recall, this is where I first met Snow-san」
「Oh yes, this is where we met」

This location happened to be the place where Snow-san had helped me.
As I recall, I was followed by the men Shia-san kicked out at the guild.

「It looks awfully familiar…」

Is it Deja vu?
The situation is totally different from that time, but I also agree.
Looking for Shia-san, we proceeded down the alley and were able to find her. At the same time with 3 people I recognized.

「Do you remember?」
「Who?」
「H-Have you forgotten!?」
「I don’t know to begin with」
「I was there at that time…」
「………… Not my problem」

When we arrived, the man was just about to approach Shia-san.

「Snow-san, do you have to be as careful as you were then?」
「Hm~m. But it’s Shia」

I am not worried at all either. Because it’s Shia-san, you know.
I can’t imagine her losing to that guy.

「Yuan!」
「Aah? What, your that ki… girl from back then?」

Shia-san noticed me, it seems. At the same time, the man also noticed me.
He was about to call me a “kid” as he remembered that time, but he seemed to be making progress as he quickly corrected himself.

「Yuan, help me」

Unexpectedly, Shia-san asks for help. However, it does not seem to be a tense situation. She does look a little troubled, though.

「Oi, Ask it from the little girl!」
「What is?」
「That’s…」

The man’s voice becomes quieter, as if he is having difficulty saying it. Even though I have a good hearing, even I can’t understand him when he speaks in a whisper, because it is not organized as a sentence, you know?

「Yuan, you don’t have to listen to that guy」
「Is there a problem?」
「Problem. Troublesome」

Did something happen again just recently in one of the cases?

「Um, I can’t do anything if you don’t talk to me properly, okay?」
「I understand. First, let me apologize for the other day. I’m sorry」

The man who bowed his head seems to say his name is Carlo. As he told me before, his adventurer rank is D and he is in a party with two adventurers who are waiting next to him.

「So what happened?」
「Yuan, you can really ignore it」

Shia-san says so, but Carlo apologized firmly for the other day’s incident, and I am fine with that.
So I would like to listen to him.

「I understood firsthand that you are adventurers of a much higher rank than we are. So… we want you to train us!」
「Ehh…」
「I know it’s an unreasonable request. However, such an opportunity is rare!」

Carlo-san and the other two bow to us.

「I’m an auxiliary magician, so I can’t teach you」
「Ah, the Shadow Wolf girl over there can teach us」
「Troublesome」

Apparently, Carlo-san and his friends are working hard to move up from D-Rank to the C-Rank, but they lack one more step in their ability to move up to the C-Rank.
That’s when they met us, and they got frustrated and that’s what happened.
Even if you are frustrated, there are things you can do and things you can’t do.

「I understand. Believe it or not, the only reason I searched for you and followed you was to say I’m sorry」
「Really?」

That’s when Snow-san helped me.

「I should have apologized in a dignified manner」
「What happened at the guild was embarrassing because it was widespread among adventurers」

Hmmm. I don’t know if I believe them, but they don’t seem to be bad at heart.

「What do you think, Snow-san?」
「Me? I don’t know what to say, since I’m not involved」

That’s right, there is no way Snow-san to understand.

「U-Um!」
「Eh, Kiara-chan?」

Kiara-chan, who had been behind us, stepped out in front of Carlo-san and the others.
I was surprised by that.
Kiara-chan was kidnapped just recently. Because of this, men seem to be projected as subjects of fear.
Kiara-chan clenched her fists and stepped forward, her body trembling. It was impossible not to be surprised.

「Thank you… for that time!」

Kiara-chan bowed her head to Carlo-san and the others.

「…… Who?」

Carlo-san and his friends don’t seem to remember and are tilting their heads.
Kiara-chan sees this and removes her hood.

「That elf girl from back then」
「Yes」
「Do you know each other?」
「No, I don’t know them, but when I first arrived in the city, I got tangled up with a drunkard, and these were the people who helped me out」
「It’s just a coincidence」
「Even if it’s only by chance. Thank you for that time」

As they say, the world is a small place, and it seems that Kiara-chan was involved with Carlo-san and his friends. In a good way, of course.

「Then we owe you a debt for giving a hand to a member of our party」

Even if it was before I met Kiara-chan, a favor is a favor. If something happened to Kiara-chan there, it is possible that we would not have met.
And then I had an idea.

「I understand. In return, I will grant your wish, Carlo-san and your friends」
「Really!?」

I smile and nod as Carlo-san and his friends look at me with delight.

「Yes, please be assured that our Rinshia-san will do her best」
「Yuan!?」

Shia-san looks at me with a surprised face. So, I tell her she has to do it.

「Shia-san, we did our best with embarrassment at the guild earlier, so good luck to you too!」
「Ah … that’s right. Shia, do your best」

Snow-san had noticed that I was planning to punish Shia-san, and she took advantage of this opportunity to take advantage.

「Kiara will not betray me」

Shia-san looks at Kiara-chan as if asking for help.

「Shia-san, you told me to stand on the same line of death, didn’t you? But Shia-san didn’t stay with me… was that a lie?」
「Uu…」

Hee~!
Shia-san and Kiara-chan had such a conversation!

「Shia-san?」
「…… Understood」

Shia-san nodded as she hung her head.

「So does that mean!」
「Thank you, girls!」
「Thanks to Kiara-chan.」

I reply to Carlo-san and the others, who look happy.
But I think it is time to rejoice.
There are good and bad things to do.
I would like to return the favor, but I believe that what is done to me must be done back.

「Shia-san, please rent the guild’s training grounds to Carlo-san and the others and teach them some things!」
「…… Got it」
「This time, I’m asking you to do it for me. This is my request」
「Request… is there a reward?」
「I’ll think about it!」
「All right!」

I also need to motivate Shia-san. Halfway is not good.

「Well then, give them plenty of training!」
「Leave it to me!」

Seeing off the motivated Shia-san and Carlo-san, we head to Zack’s Store.
I was informed that the tenst that had been prepared had arrived.
Controlling the urge to skip, we turned out of the alley onto the main street.
I look forward to your report, Shia-san!
When you get hit, you hit back, and that’s important in this world, no?

Author-san

It was a little dark Yuan.
She believes in repaying a favor, but she also does not forget to retaliate when she is wronged, and is quite black-hearted in her refusal to take direct action…

Yu 「Did you say anything?」
Chi 「Nothing!」

Yuan is basically a good girl, just dark sometimes. You all have that, don’t you?
It may be frustrating that the story is not moving forward, but please wait as they will be leaving soon.

Thank you for always reading.
I look forward to working with you.
