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.
