I'm Just a Notorious Mage

I, Wade, was once a gifted mage who drew everyone's attention. But I was framed and imprisoned for three years, and today I was finally declared innocent.

The captain who sent me to prison still thinks I'm the culprit, yet puts on a sympathetic act and offers me a chance to return to the adventurer guild?

As if!

From now on, I'll rely on myself alone to achieve my goals. To hell with companions! I don't need anyone!

That's how it was supposed to go...

An angel girl has nowhere to live? Fine, you can work as my maid for now. I never have time to keep up with the housework anyway.

A vampire can't shake her tsundere nature but wants to restore her race? What a pain, but if you're willing to help me, I can see what I can do.

The merchant guild president's daughter refuses to inherit the family business and wants me to form an adventurer party with her? If you're willing to be cannon fodder, I suppose I can agree.

And you two lazybones, you didn't speak up for me back then, so I'm not going back with you! What? You just want to mooch a meal? Fine, just this once. Don't make a habit of it, got it?

...Huh? Wait, did I get something wrong?

Didn't I say I didn't need companions?!
