‘Why are they so happy, even though I didn’t actually get stronger…?’

The party members’ reactions were far more intense than I expected.

They said things like, “Now I can finally sleep with peace of mind,” or “Do you know how anxious we were every time you went into a gate?” and “It’s about time you came to your senses.”

I stood there with a bewildered expression, and Lee Yu-ri, nicknamed ‘Gukbap,’ spoke up.@@novelbin@@

“We train so we won’t have to send you into dangerous situations alone.”

“…Huh?”

“Exactly, Jin Yoo-ha,” Shin Se-hee added in a slightly scolding tone. “Whenever something unpredictable and dangerous happens, you’re always the first to throw yourself into it.”

I guess they had a point.

Because I had played the game and knew the most about strategies and enemy weaknesses, and as the sub-DPS, I could make quick, flexible decisions in combat. But in doing so, I hadn’t realized how much worry I had caused my team.

‘Still… it’s heartwarming to see how much they care about me.’

To my surprise, they had all grown stronger than I expected.

In a world without gacha mechanics, where you had to rely solely on your own strength to push forward, I’d been feeling a lot of pressure.

But now, after seeing my team’s progress…

‘They’ve become much stronger.’
