The next morning, after I was kicked out of the Hero Party.

I left the inn and went out into the city after thanking the landlady, who allowed me to stay in the inn even though I arrived in the middle of the night.

Since I cant go home as I dont have any money with me, I have no choice but to look for a job.

Fortunately, theres an adventurers guild in this town.

For me, as a former adventurer, this will really help me to find a job for the time being.

Speaking of, adventurers are jacks-of-all-trades who support themselves by subjugating monsters, guarding caravans, or gathering a variety of precious commodities and plants.

Hmmm, this looks like it.

The adventurers guild here is just like any other guild branch, a building with a tavern inside it.

The reason why a lot of guilds have a tavern inside them is that it seems there are a lot of adventurers who want to enjoy drinking immediately after work.

Especially the dwarven adventurers, as they like to drink so much. Thats why they use guilds that have a tavern inside them.

On the other hand, elven adventurers hate the smell of booze. Thats why they go to the guilds that dont have taverns inside.

Well, thats what Ive heard from an old friend.

Aughhh!

Just as I was about to enter the guild, I noticed an elderly woman coming down the street who had fallen and was in pain.

Old lady, are you alright?

Ah, Im sorry, its just that at this age my hips are already weak.

When I called out to her, the old lady laughed, and then she tried to stand up.

It looks like shes suffering from a lot of pain.

Ill help you. As expected, I cant just leave you alone in this situation.

Thank you.

When I supported her body, the old womans complexion improved.

It also looks like her posture has improved.

Oh, for some reason, I feel like my body has become much lighter.

Is that so? Then thats really good to hear.

By helping the old lady, it looks like my Fully Automatic Support Buff1skill must have been activated.

The effect of my skill temporarily improved the old womans physical ability. Thats why the muscles that supported her body that were previously weak have now improved.

Just as the name of my skill suggests, I cant control my Fully Automatic Support Buff.

However, it will almost certainly activate for the person that I really want to help.

This skill is the reason why my friend asked me to join the party of the hero.

My role was to secretly support the hero and his party with this skill. And for various reasons, I kept this secret from Ares and the other party members.

My Fully Automatic Support Buff will automatically buff everyone in my party if Im a member.

But since Ive left the hero party, my support buff for them should have stopped by now.

Ah, my daughters house is just around the corner. Thank you very much for assisting me. Youre such a kind man.

Just as I was thinking that it seems that we have arrived at our destination.

Youre welcome. Also, dont mind it very much as its normal to help each other when times are tough.

Thats why I always live my life following these two sayings: When youre good to others, youre best to yourself2and If you live all your life being greedy, people will go away from you.

And above all, it feels really good to help others.

The Fully Automatic Support Buff isnt an omnipotent skill because I cant use it on myself, but its a really great skill because I can use it to help a lot of people.

Thats why I really like this skill so much.

Ah, speaking of which, I forgot to ask, but whats your name, young man?

Im Slad, Slad Maesti.

When I said my name, the old woman smiled at me cheerfully.

I see. Well then, Slad, if you have some free time, would you like to have a tea with me?

Thanks for the offer, but I must politely decline.

Ill also prepare some sweetened white peaches that I personally made.

Did you say sweets?

What should I do?

I love eating sweets, but since I used all the extra money I have on purchasing potions to be used for supporting the hero party, I couldnt afford to buy them.

Thats why I havent eaten sweets in a long time.

Ive made so much that Im in trouble. Thats why it would be really helpful if you could eat it with me.

Well, if you say it that way.

In the end, I decided to take advantage of the old womans kindness.

As I thought, good things would happen when you do good deeds.
