The Jan-Ken-Pon is a stupid way to decide who gets the kill, and relies on them being able to afford ensuring a specific person lands the last blow which is not always an options, and likely would not have been here especially is MC was not there.
Plus considering there is a slight psychological element involved that actually makes the distribution not a perfect split it will lead to issues in the long run. The only fair method would be lowest level member to keep the party as close as possible.
so the big guy fell under the influence of some weird status effect and then makoto instatly left without considering anything
guess they had no way of contacting him either since he spends his entire life in the dungeon
No stratus effect, just anger at being saved and losing "his" kill.
Anyway, at least the former party is still on somewhat good terms and they are actually strong instead of being the trope where the MC carries them. I don't generally dislike that trope, but like everything when there's too much of it, it gets annoying.
He was only with them for 1 dungeon, not long enough for them to be dependent on him like the exiled from party trope relies on.
But that is mostly an allegory for and targeted at underappreciated workers, particularly black company employees.
Can anyone tell me what chapter this is in the novel
IIRc, the manga is doing things out of order, and possibly skipping material. them meet in ch 47.
