~真の仲間じゃないと勇者のパーティーを追い出されたので、辺境でスローライフすることにしました~

I was kicked out of the Hero’s party because I wasn’t a true companion so I decided to have a slow life at the frontier.

Description:

In a Fantasy world in which a young girl with the Divine Protection of the Hero battles against the Demon Lord. In that world, Red, the elder brother of that young girl Hero, possessing the Divine Protection of the Guide which only grants a high initial level, fought in the initial party of the Hero.

However, with a Divine Protection that only grants a high level but no magic nor martial art nor supernatural ability, he gradually could no longer keep up with the battle and in the end, a companion, a Sage, remarked ‘You are not a true companion’ as he snatched all his equipment and kicked him out of the party with just a single copper sword.

Having his heart completely shattered, Red distanced himself from the battle against the Demon Lord’s army despite knowing that the fate of the world rests on it, aiming to live an inconspicuous life alone at the frontier Zoltan as he earns money to open a herbalist shop by utilizing the knowledge he acquired throughout his journey.

Together with the Half-Elf Carpenter living downtown and the Princess who couldn’t become the Hero’s companion, he aims to live a slow life in the frontier of the world governed by a person’s inborn Divine Protection!

    sound isteresting but have romance? i need the tags man more over i´m going to read this just for you (I am a bit fan of your work)

    • Thanks! 🙂 The tags listed by the author are: Fantasy, Slow Life, Romance, Reasonably strong protagonist and Unfortunate start

  2. Hallc

    Interesting series that doesn’t shine until around chapter 20ish, but tseirp makes the early chapters enjoyable anyway

  3. swhp

    Hi Tseirp,

    Just found this from novelupdates and I really like the story. Thanks for the hard work for translating this.
    Do you mind if I made an epub and pdf for this one?

    • Sure 🙂 Thanks for offering. Just send me the link after you are done then I’ll put the link up in here

      • swhp

        Hi,
        Thank you for allowed me to make epub and pdf for this 🙂
        Just finished and hosted it in here: http://armaell-library.net/novel/i-was-kicked-out-of-the-hero-s-party-because-i-wasn-t-a-true-companion-so-i-decided-to-have-a-slow-life-at-the-frontier

        Need to inform you when creating the epub and pdf I deliberately to separate it by something I called arc, which usual in many web novel stories. I know you’re not separate the story and I believe the author do the same, but this is pure my intention to make it more easy to read.

        The drawbacks is of course I’m not sure when and where to cut each arc, so I do it by my own. Of course I would love to receive a feedback when and where I could separate the story by arc or if separate the story by arc is not good, I could combine it into one epub and pdf (knowing we have few chapter currently).

        Once again, thank you for the hard-work for translating this 🙂

  4. sjmcc13

    Is there a reason there is a link for Ch 13, but it goes to an error 404 page?
    Both in the ToC and on the page with Ch 12

  5. Fui

    I am current the translator for this novel in another language, actually I translate it from eng -> my own language so I have to say thanks to Tseirp for picking this marvelous novel. Although I dont get anything while doing that but I really love this novel so it was my motivation. And even if someone donate me I would use that money to donate to Tseirp. Too bad my japanese is just barely N5 so I cant do much except waiting for new chapter in eng.
    And about this novel. I think this novel has a very balance between action and romance, the plot is like a flow up and down, although this is Slice of Life but it’s not boring because everything is not repeated but the author always adds new thing for every chapter, it’ll make you feel like a child that excites to open a present box every day.
    The story itself is good, no plot hole (at least until now), the character development is deep, MC is not OP but he knows what to do, the romance surely is the best thing in this novel, MC not dense like usual japanese novel, this is like a gem to me, maybe my english is not good enough to describe it but if you’re looking for something relax, sweet or get bored with usual harem novel, op MC novel then try this.

  6. Laharl8080

    https://tseirptranslations.com/2018/12/sl-chapter-80.html%E2%80%8E

    this link seems to be broken? It leads to a page not found o.o)?

  9. Fan

    Please add links to illustrations on the TOC page as well

  10. This may be a spoil if you didn’t read at least until the volume 2. If you do not wish to be spoiled , do not read this !

    I have now read the second volume of slow life , and I still didn’t understand something … Does Red/Gideon not have any divine protection’s impulse ? or is his divine protection sort of “Shin” too ? because so far everyone showed at least once, some sort of impulse except him . Or is it explained later in the 20 chapters left I still didn’t read ? I am so very curious , if someone could pls answer me 😉 ?

  13. DMWL

    Just a couple weeks and finally done! (From the WN’s equivalent of chapter 6 of the manga to chapter 130). Now, I’m wondering just how I can subscribe to get notified of new chapters…

  14. Evan Romaneschi

    The illustration links for slow life frontier on novelupdates aren’t working. Please fix it so I can take a look at the images!

  15. JAnno

    Hey i want to ask is this web novel content the same as in Light Novel ? If not what’s the difference because it’s hard to read LN online than Web Novel out there.

    • I have not seen the Light novel so I can’t say for certain but typically Light Novel will have other characters and more refined story.

  16. janno

    Sorry for bothering can you tell me what’s the difference between this LN and WN ?
    before i decide to read this series. Thanks

    • AeroZ

      You get the character’s first person perspective as well as their entire thought process instead of only a part of it. I feel the Light Novel is superior to the Manga, but I feel that way about most light novels I read when I compare them to their picture book equivalents.

  17. Hy Gays, Thanks for your translation, and i have news for you, I found a ilustration for volum 6, you can see in the link

    Volume 6

    https://www.luinovel.xyz/2020/02/i-was-kicked-out-of-heros-party-because-illustrations-volume6.html

  18. Echo Pardede

    hey guys where i can find ilustraton vol 1?

  19. Kiritsuna

    Did something happened to the author? I haven’t see him post another new entry for the WN.

  20. Kiritsuna

    Thanks for translating this. And I’m sorry to ask this:

    I don’t know if you’ve read the LN up to the last volume, but is it true that the MC doesn’t have the blonde girl as his only romantic partner? I’ve read a spoiler I didn’t really like, but don’t know if it’s true. I want to know so I won’t bother in reading it. If someone can confirm it, I’ll be thankful

  21. Chuck5653

    Is this an anime now?
