This trio of companions are the best. They relatable to the readers because of their reactions to the MC and his love interests, and also they are able to cover for the MC in adventures because they're actually competent at their jobs.
To people complaining about the elf's strategy: it's a perfectly valid strategy called "guerilla warfare". You don't need to kill all the orcs at once. Just kill them one at a time and run away. Eventually they'll run out of orcs, and in the meantime, they'll have to slow down to defend themselves from your attacks.
@RC1138Boss - 50%. Elves are badass. But more likely, Mii will get her chance to shine and kill off a few orcs while they're distracted.
