Ok, so can someone who has read the novel correct me if im wrong, since im only at chapter 11 right now, where so far he has the saint, the assassin, and the mage. Those 3 appear to be the 3 girls attached to him in the intro art. However, all 3 of them also appear to be present around the table of the group that banished him. So right now, from what I can tell, the group he is currently forming, will eventually become the group that banished him. As another comment said, a build up to a giant NTR. If so, id like to know now.
