Huh?　What did you say?
　No, I've already decided on my party members.

　My plan to defeat the Demon Lord fell apart in a heartbeat.

　No, but we're friends, right?
　'Yes!　Indeed, Kakeru is a very dear friend of mine.
　Well, then...
　That's why!　I don't want to take my precious friends on a dangerous quest and have them get hurt.

　Stop?　I'm an adventurer myself, you know?　Don't look at me like you have to protect me like that.
　Behind Sirius are three people who are probably party members. One of them is a handsome knight who is as good-looking as Sirius in his silvery armor. One is an older sisterly beauty with a staff that looks like a wizard. One of them is a cool beautiful girl who has a big bow and seems to play a role like a sniper.

　What a picture-perfect temp party!　I want to be in this party too!

　No, but you know what? You need a healer for the party, right?　I'll do my best to learn my healing magic!
　'I'm sorry, Kakeru. As for the healers, Veronia over here wants to introduce me to some girls.... She's supposed to be here soon.
　Shit, Sirius!　I'm fine with Veronia!　No thanking!
　Haha, sorry, sorry. I'm still getting used to it.
　Shit!

　d*mn it!　You've already created a space for Sirius.
　Anyway, it seems that Veronia-san is a beautiful woman who is a wizard. She's waving her hand in my direction, so I'm pretty sure that's her.
　But what do we do?　As far as I can see, there is no blind spot in the party that Sirius has chosen. A handsome knight who is a tank to support the front line, a beautiful wizard who annihilates the enemy from the rear, a sniper who seems to be skilled in logistical support and searching for enemies, and Sirius who is an all-around hero. It seems that the healer role that seems to be lacking has already been decided....

　As I was thinking about my next move, the guild's door opened vigorously.

　''Excuse me!　I'm late!

　The one standing there was a beautiful white haired girl dressed in white with blue embroidery like a priestess.
　I want to be cured by a beautiful girl like that.

　'I've been waiting for you. You're the Maria that Veronia was talking about, right?
　'Yes!　You can call me Maria.
　'I know!　Maria!　I just became an adventurer today, and I'm a disappointing person, but I hope you'll take care of me from now on!
　I'll take care of it!　I will heal every wound with my healing magic and the "healing blessing" given to me by God!
　Haha, it's good to have a reliable companion.

　Do you have one?　You didn't react the same way I did.

　So that's it. I'm sorry, Kakeru.　But I want Kakeru to have a peaceful life.
　Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. Thanks for your concern.
　No, no, of course not. I'm a very important friend. I wish I didn't have this kind of power, I would have gone on this adventure with Kakeru, to be honest. But now I have a mission. The mission is to defeat the Demon King. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.　I'm sorry, Kakeru.
　....

　Ahhhhhhhhhh. What do I do? Sirius' kindness is hard.

　''Well then, everyone, let's go. Let's go on a journey to defeat the Demon King!
　"Yes!

　Oh, it's going. My Sirius pimping project is over.

　"Ah!　Wait a minute.
　Hmm?　What's going on?　Kakeru.

　I called out to the Sirius party as they walked past me to ask again. The gazes of the two handsome guys and the three beautiful girls, as well as the gazes in the guild, gather on me at once.
-- No good.　I can't ask them to join the party again in this situation anymore. I've already started the story of the hero Sirius.

　But good luck with that.

　With all the strength in my voice I told Sirius that.

　'Yes!　Careful, Kakeru, be careful!　Don't take on too many dangerous quests.
　Yes, sir.

　I did so and saw the backs of the protagonists of this other world off.

　'Huh, watch it. I'm going to go and join Sirius's party, phew, this friend of Sirius's.
　'No, yeah, yeah!　Don't say another word!　

　When Sirius refused me, I went back to the table at the end of the table, where Aria, a self-proclaimed god, was bullying me.

　'Huh, watch it.'
　'I don't want to hear it!　I don't want to hear this!　I want to beat the shit out of me from a few minutes ago when I was so confident!
　'I told you so!　He said that even I couldn't do it, so Kakeru couldn't do it any better. Besides, I was told by her that she had already decided on the party members.
　Hey!　Why didn't you share that information with me when you came back with tears in your eyes?
　Yeah, because if I tried to tell him, he'd say, "Huh, look--
　'Ahhhhhh! I can't hear you! I can't hear you!　And I didn't say "phew" or anything like that!　Don't serve yourself!

　d*mn it!　If this guy was a guy, I would have punched him in the face. But still, he dared to go out and sink in that crowd of people and dared to go out and sink. And he was sunk after Sirius took care of him. If I was going to say no anyway, I wanted him to say no by saying something like "Kakeru can't keep up with our level of performance".

　Ahhhhhh!
　'Um, Kakeru.　Is it time for you to calm down?
　'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!'
　'Ah!　d*mn it!　Shut up!
　'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!'
　"-What?　Why!　My verbal magic isn't working!　Shut up!　Shut up!
　'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!'
　'Why?　Why eeeeee!
　'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!'
　'Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!'

　'Um, I'd appreciate it if you'd quieten down a bit.... Besides, you guys are the only ones left.　So, automatically and compulsorily, you guys are going to have a party. We're already over the regular schedule.
　"What?

　The other adventurers seem to have formed a party and left while me and Aria are screaming in a corner of the guild. And the receptionist who urges us to stop shouting with an apologetic look on her face.
　And it seems that I've decided to form a party with Aria, the self-proclaimed god, who has a confused expression on her face in front of me. .........

　"'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'

　-- It's over. My harem & pimped out life in another world.
