It was shit from the get go and the author doesn't even see what's wrong with that. The relationships or building up for them is very forced I'm really over it but I'm just hate-reading hopefully to see a outcome that's different but from upcoming chapter we might see it.
ikr?? like they kicked him out in the WORST possible way man, not only that their reason sucks ass. like they kick him out because they were worried about him so instead of helping him train and get better, they kicked him out so he could go hunting BY HIMSELF?! The fucking logic in this is insane, not only that why did the old dude suddenly get strong, like really man?? if you would have shown your strength in the beginning then this shit WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!! then they get upset that Est fucking hates them and makes fun of them in public when they were the ones who made him like that... GOD this shit sucks ass
So from what I've gathered they banished Est from the party because he was weak. Elf girl didn't even like him being on the party. Daru feels more like the main character.
Est became stronger only for Athena to become weaker. Somehow she's still the leader, when she's done nothing leader like in the 24 chp that are out. Daru acted more like the leader. Elf girl and Daru follow Athena because they like that she has the drive to be the best adventurer in the world, as if Est didn't have that.
Honestly, this shit's a mess. I just don't like Athena, she's the reason everything turned out this way. Banished Est from the party to prevent him from getting badly injured only for her to be in that situation in the next chapter, like wtf??? Est, time to get someone else to crush on cause your current one is a lost cause.
I wasted time reading this and I want that time back.
