He Didn’t Want to Be the Center of Attention, Hence, after Defeating the Demon Lord, He Became Guild Master

Episode 27: The Tiger Clan's Appreciation and Oni-daughter's Undercover Mission

When the night wind blew through the particles of the breakdown camp, only a large space of black soil, piles for building tents and barrels, and holes in the part where the fence was punched remained.

The soldiers I put to sleep at first were left behind, so I'll take you to the other soldier who is fainting.

"... hmm? What, it's still night...."

"You're awake. All your people have already fled."

"Eh... hah, hah..."

I can't immediately understand what happened, but it is troublesome to tell you carefully and politely, so I will skip it.

"Don't worry, I won't be held responsible for breaking orders because everyone, including the Commander, has fled. You take him with you. It will happen soon."

"Ha, yes... wow, what a mask!

"There is no reason to answer. If you know what I mean, you can go and let them catch you in a tiger village."

"Hih, hihhh... help!

I screamed like a painting, and the soldiers ran away with my fellow who had passed out with my knife. Now, I don't know if I can get off the mountain, so I'll put a "healing light" on it as a pity.

Five prisoners are enough already captured. Even if there are too many, it will be a burden on the Tiger village.

And the hostiles who ran away - they can't get their gear back here again. Miralka magically blocked the entrance to the military road from the Velvechian side, so it will take a while to make the road again. When they retreat, they are forced to go through the mountain - it is up to them to survive in this mountain, where beasts and monsters also leave. If we don't make that kind of threat, we could invade this mountain without punishing ourselves.

However, if we cannot attack through the mountains, it is possible that Velvekia will not stick to the border guard gap in Albain and start a war from the front.

I'm already commissioning Eileen to conduct an undercover investigation to find out what's happening on the Velveteen side. Now that I'm still working with Kirsch in his Mansion as Vincent's subordinate, it'll be easy until I infiltrate the Mansion - just in case, Eileen has my "eyes" on me, so I'll check the situation later.

"Now, let's go back to the Tiger village... hey, are you still doing this?

The Tigers, who were hiding in the woods and watching the camp collapse and Miralka's recommendations for surrender, kept their heads on the ground until Miralka, who had finished the military blockade, came back on a firedragon.

"Tell me to lift your face too, I'm in trouble because I won't keep moving."

"When the Tiger tribe is in crisis, it will descend with the Fire Dragon from the sky and return the fortress of the evil army to the foam... This legacy will support the Tiger tribe for a long time. Thank you very much, this Jeddah will only report to the Elder."

A magnificent Tiger man looks at us like a boy, with a tough face and a body nearly two meters apart. Because Miralka's figure was too picturesque.

"Master Wizard of Masks, oh, how beautiful..."

"The masked swordsman also sees his sword arm beyond the realm of master, and his magical powers are also first-class. What if you're famous heroes...?

A young man named Ludo and his wife don't look excited either. I'm still not relieved to be praised, but this time I'm only willing to accept it.

"We just happened to know you were captured because the Tig Rico were being chased by Velveteen soldiers. Sometimes when we're in such a difficult situation, our Masked Saviors come to help us. That's what you think."

"The savior of the mask... I didn't know that some of the humans who only thought of exploiting the beast had such aspirations. It's not the same for humans to push judgment."

Some of us aren't hostile to Wesen, but unfortunately, looking across the kingdom, there are overwhelmingly more people planted with the wrong perception that "Wesen are inferior to humans."

I know I'm not. There were some wise beasts with immeasurable knowledge, and others who used their basic motor abilities better than humans in battle to act as amazing mercenaries.

Why were they captured by the army? That's probably because the Beast is afraid of fire. Belvekia tried to exploit them, innocent people, by pointing to their weaknesses. The sin must be compensated after this war is over - we must also think of ways to do so.

"You don't feel much obligated to us. I guarantee your safety, so go back to your village and live in peace. I'll do something to keep Albain from interfering with you."

Miralka was particularly well looked after this time and had little to say from me. If the sense of justice is not strong, then I will not volunteer to the Demon King Crusaders.

The man named Jeddah raised his face as he lowered himself in response to Miralka's words.

"The Tiger tribe has a code that promises to repay the favors they receive. If you're in a hurry, I won't be forced to. However, it's been a long night. I want you to have the most heartfelt hospitality in our nearby village."

And then they all put their hands on the ground again and put their foreheads on top of it - in this way, both Miralka and I were weak.

Fortunately, we must hurry back to King's Landing now.

I had Eileen draw a magic letter on her skin and applied the magic of "Small Soul (Small Spirit)". If you fly your consciousness there, you can assist in the fight, but otherwise, the situation will only be conveyed.

She was planning to break into Vincent's mansion, but when she made contact with Kirsch, she changed her plans. Vincent's servants, who are working for Vincent, are holding a meeting outside the Mansion - Kirsch saw participants in the meeting as part of a plot of rebellion, and Eileen undertook an undercover investigation.

And she was just diving into the hotel on the street where the meeting was taking place, hiding out the window and listening to the meeting. Sometimes I say, "Ho ho." Sometimes I say, "Should I do it?" "As Eileen was asking, I was just stopping to wait a little longer and listen to everything.

Apparently, the Velveteens intend to forcefully cross the border on the southern plains when military roads in the mountains become unusable. The "Black Iron Cavalry", the main force of the Velveteen army, originally exerts its power in the plains where horses can maximize their mobility, and the leaders who bind the Republic of Vevekia have absolute confidence in its power.

"I promised Rico I'd stop by the Tig village, regardless of overnight stays."

"Oh, I see. You guys don't like the smell of humans, do you?

"Not if you're a benefactor. If you enter our village, you may indeed surprise the old people, so you should keep the smell of the Tigers on. Hey, you guys...."

"Oh, no, Rico said he'd do it, so that's fine. I'm sorry for letting you do this with Ludo's wife's tail."

"No, I would never do such a thing... but rather I would be honored to have my savior do such a thing."

Looks like Ludo is not spontaneously representing his wife's feelings, and she's blushing at me and Miralka.

When you look at it like this, even the Tiger clan has more hair covered than humans, such as the tip of their arms and feet. The clothes worn are slightly more exposed, but the technology for processing leather and cloth is not so developed, and it is not a culture that it is embarrassing if it does not cover the skin as well as humans.

"... do you want your wife to rub her tail? Or do you want to mof-mov even though you don't have to? The round balls at the end of the tail look so soft."

"Sure. But I haven't thought that far. It's also about whether Rico's tail is okay."

"It's not like an adult woman and an innocent child... How old is Rico?"

"Rico is thirteen this year. The Tiger tribe is considered to be one person from the age of twelve, so she is also a fine adult woman."

"Rico is the elder's grandson, so everyone younger than me admires him."

I didn't know because Rico called her "Elder," but did she draw the Elder's blood herself? The Tig may have the elders' family at their core. It is believed that Rico is the grandson of the elders because there are grandchildren and sons on top of that.

"... may I ask you one question? Doesn't it make any special sense for a Tiger of marriageable age to smell a human man?

"Yes, it's a sign of friendship. Rest assured, there is no such code as having to have a wife. Rico wouldn't ask the savior to" touch the tail. "She's old enough to tell."

There are four Tiger women laughing beside Jeddah.

I don't know why, I twisted my neck, but Miralka seemed to know something and stared at me gently over the mask.

◆ ◇ ◆

Outside the Tig village, Rico said there was a wounded tree. It appears that a boar or some giant beast has hit the body, leaving a huge old scar on the trunk of a giant tree that is centuries-old.

After Jeddah and the others returned to the village first, Rico came to replace them. She has come home once to change and is decorating her hands, ankles, and so on. Then, the mixed yellow and black hair was neatly arranged and looked different from when we met earlier - the lips were red.

Miralka held her forehead and looked up to heaven, but I finally understood the meaning after thinking about it for about five seconds.

Rico is a fine adult woman, Jeddah said. What does it mean that she welcomed me dressed up?

"Ah, um... there's one thing I'd like to ask you, savior, before you smell it..."

"Nh, nh?

"What cancer? I was poisoned by Miralka, but I was also aware that I made a pathetic voice. That's because I knew what Rico was going to say.

"... I want you to touch Rico's tail. I think your tail feels so good... that's why. Savior, just touch me for a second."

"I wonder what it feels like in this outdoors...."

"Rico, what does it mean to let your tail touch you?

When Miralka asked me, Rico was ashamed to hold both his cheeks, ran away from me, and he was stunned.

"... your tail is only touched by someone important. That's good, second one."

"And secondly... wait, I'm not in a position to marry many wives. And we just met, and we still don't understand each other. We should spend a lot of time on dialogue first. Don't you think?

I don't know what you're talking about. You're drunk.

"I'm drunk, but I'm not drunk. Rico, you can touch the tail, but there's nothing special about it. Can you forgive me for that?

I wonder why I'm behaving from below, but I don't want to hurt the heart of a girl with such innocent eyes. But if you never touch the tail, it hurts too. Until I was told that I was over-conscious.

Rico calmed down after a while, or he stood up and came back here. And he smiled and said.

"The masked man said he would talk to me a lot. Someday, when you come back, you'll touch me."

"Oh, I'll be angry then, too. I can't promise you until we get married."

"... it's so exciting. I'll give you an assessment of where you don't have a lot of expectations."

After all, it seemed that touching the tail was a proposal from a Tiger woman, and Rico's ears turned bright red.

With her tail, I get a light trace of my body and camouflage the smell of humans. Now that it was Miralka's turn, I was watching with my arms around me.

"Arms up. We have to do it right there. I smell like a Tiger too. It smells good."

"Oh, I'm sorry... because tickling is weak..."

I was watching Miralka roll over my jacket, lift my arms, and trace the weak part with Rico's fluffy tail, without any impure feelings, as an exchange between the girls - but I noticed that Miralka saw a nasty creature, so I turned away.

At that time, it seemed that Eileen, who was on an undercover mission in King's Landing, was numb.

"Hey, can I do it already? It's good, right? Dick, come on.

(Wait, I'll transfer about 50% of my consciousness to you. We came to a safe place, so it seems okay.)

"Nh, okay. I can tell by the sound of my voice that it worked. That's the golden pair with Miralka. Okay, I can't lose either!

"Both of you, I might be a little overhead from now on, but don't worry too much. Thank you for letting me know if anything happens."

"Ah, yeah... you're going 'that way'. Okay, don't worry. Go."

…… Are you going somewhere this evening?

"No, I'll visit the village. He's slowing down a little, but it's just for a while, so don't worry."

After getting Miralka and Rico's approval, I activated Small Spirit.

◆ ◇ ◆

From the magic letters on Eileen's chest, a photograph of me emerged - that is, it jumped out of her chest.

"Fuah... I'm surprised. Is this how it comes out?

Ah, I kept you waiting, are they in here?

The room on the second floor of the first street inn, outside the veranda. Eileen took a breath and waited inside.

Ask in the room so as not to be understood. Then one of the four men in the room uttered a decisive word.

"If the Velveteens move and cross the border on the Western Plains, we will abduct one of Her Highness's princesses. If possible, Princess Manarina may be the first princess, but the third princess who has the right to inherit the throne may be the third princess."

"Lord Larg, if we get the princess, we will take the place of Lord Zebias...."

"I didn't ask you anything. Jean is a fool, but his subordinates are not ashamed of him because they are quite good men. Kirsch, in particular, is a beautiful woman, loyal to her orders."

"Have you had another bad quarrel? Master Larg is blind to women. If she's so good, I can understand her desire. You're a colleague, right?

Anyway, it's vulgar and makes me sick. I'm reminded of how healthy the people in the tavern are who are rumouring that the signs in the shop are cute.

The men in this room have only selfish thoughts. Because I only think of women as tools.

And what Eileen thinks of them. That was obvious from her present appearance.

"I'll try my best, but if I can't... I'm sorry."

Speaking joyfully, Eileen wore a blue mask that was different in color from ours and put on fingerpointing gloves that were used in both hands.

"Demonic and Onijin". I'm going to show you the reason for those two names. If I thought so, I thought that blood would make a noise and warriors would tremble.
