Synopsis
Bar, who belongs to the most popular party "Partisan" in the adventure city, Finis, is suddenly banished from the party, having his equipment sequestered and forced back to F rank. In order to redeem himself, Bar aims for the emerging adventure city Troana with a gold lever in hand alongside a former reunited party member, the saint, Romi Marnie.

On the other hand, in "Partisan", [Saint] Roni Marnie, who is scheduled to join, seems to have gone missing, creating a fuss. The hero, Reedlion, has one sided feelings for Romi and will do anything to get her back whilst the Sage Marganus needs her for his future plans. As love blossoms and intersects, Barr discovers that he can "solve almost anything by hitting them with all his might."

My Thoughts
I really enjoyed the webnovel for this series, so I wouldn't mind seeing the light novel licensed. If I was to describe the feel of this series it would be similar to "Banished from the hero's party, I decided to live in the countryside". There are two really great things that I really like about this series, the first, is how the romance develops. It's an early romance and neither Romi nor Bar are shy in letting their feelings known. The second is how the characters are developed and how trust is developed between Romi and Bar even when Bar becomes a Berserker due to his skill.

Here is the cover illustration for volume 2

Lemme guess, he got banished because the hero realized the saint loved the MC, not realizing she would elope with him??

[FacelessOne]

@paulnamida Nope, the hero doesn't find out that the saint loves the MC until they end up meeting again, which is some months after the MC's original banishment.

Sounds like this one attempts to "raise the bar"

... I'll see myself out now.

Down for the early romance.
