A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover

Sain, the leader of the Hero ’s group, walked up to me and said:

”I ’m sorry, but from now on, you ’re out of the group ”

”Why? I ’ve been with you for a long time. ”

We ’ve been friends since childhood, we ’ve been together since we left our hometown, and we ’ve been supporting each other all these years.

And it ’s not only with him, but also with the other three members.

Nei, the warrior, Soara, a priest, and Lisa, the witch.

The five of us together form this group of   ”White fangs ”.

It is true that lately I have felt like a burden.
And that my abilities have not continued to increase compared to my companions.

But still, this is all very sudden.

”You know why, Toru ”.

”I still have time to improve.
You are about to be chosen as the Hero, you will go on many adventures, take me with you as a warrior too ”.

”That ’s exactly why, my debut as a Hero is crucial, getting good results is necessary.
It would not be right if my best friend dies in our first battle, please understand me.

Why do I notice little empathy in his words?

I want to know

These words that are coming from my best friend…
Someone I have loved so much, they sound so empty.

I turn my attention to my girlfriend Lisa, I am sure she will support me in this.

”I think Sain is right, Toru can ’t be in this group anymore.
I ’m sure he ’ll die soon, he ’s not someone who ’s on our level anymore.

”Lisa…? ”

I never imagined that she would say something like that.

And what was most worrying, is that for some reason, she couldn ’t look at me.

Suddenly, my eyes fell on her right hand.

There was a ring on his ring finger that I didn ’t recognize.

It ’s funny, that ’s supposed to be the ring I gave her.

Lisa notices my glance and quickly hides her right hand.

I look at the other three.

And all four were wearing the same ring.

My eyes turned glassy, and deep inside I thought.

Is that the reason? Was I getting in their way?

My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend

But when did it happen?

How could I not have realized that all this time?

I don ’t know…
Maybe this is my paranoia talking and I ’m just imagining things.

Anyway, there was no place for me here anymore.

”Now that everything is clear, return to the village in silence, and support our future triumphs from a distance ”

”Son of a bitch! ”

In a fit of anger, I punched Sain in the face.

I knew that nothing would be solved if I hit him, but I couldn ’t stand it.

This guy knew that Lisa and I were engaged, and he still did it.

More than anything, I was disgusted with myself for being so soft.

I couldn ’t see the true nature of the man I thought was my best friend.

As Sain stood up, he made a notch in his face.

He was making fun of me for being so gullible.

He was good no matter what I did, he was handsome, he was strong, and he was chosen as the Hero.

should have hit him more, but I am devastated by all that happened.

”Stop! You ’re disgusting! ”

”You ’re not worth it, Toru ”

”You ’re scum! ”

Our three childhood friends are all defending him at the same time.

While Lisa stared at me.

It was enough to make my wounded heart bleed.

”Here, I ’ll give it back to you! Now get out of here! ”

“!?”

Lisa had thrown me the ring I gave her.
It hit my chest and rolled on the table.

All the customers in the tavern turned their eyes towards us.

”Forgive him, Lisa.
It ’s normal for Toru to be confused by all this. ”

”It ’s true, I acted inappropriately, I ’m sorry, Toru. ”

I was speechless.
In front of everyone, I was the o
