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

The cave of ice is a three-tier cave with a lake inhabited by Ice Spirit, a species of water spirits.

As a result, the lake is frozen, and among them, highly transparent ones are cut out as "permanent ice mass". Because it is frozen by the power of ice sperm, it can be brought back at room temperature. If you bring it under the flames of August, the ice sperm will weaken and melt, but at that time, you can bring back a portion of the ice by putting a lot of ice on the truck, covering it with straw, and making it multiple.

If Ice Fox escaped into the cave, we won't be able to ship the ice to our store. However, such a matter is a trivial one, and this case is getting deeper and bigger than expected.

I also felt that the relationship between humans and the Beast tribes was bad when I helped Rico and the Tiger tribes, but even in King's City, what I have overlooked so far is that it is still a matter of reflection.

"... a race conflict"

"Your husband doesn't have to feel responsible. Even though we know that there is a conflict problem, it has not just started now, but lasts as long as the country's history. It hasn't changed since time immemorial."

I was sitting in a chair in the office, spreading out a map that mapped some of the interior of the ice cave and thinking about how Rigel and the others could move. In the meantime, Verlaine sat across from me, laying a cup of thick tea in front of me.

She was not dressed as a maid yet, but she took off her headdress and returned to her dark elf. When I see a woman who has finished her day's work looking carefree, I feel like working, but I have the experience of being angry if I use too much energy, so it is best to keep it normal. Unfortunately, there are places where I wonder what I am so reluctant to do to my employees.

"That's a pretty good map. Did your husband make this?

"When I first bought the ice cubes, I dived myself. The ice cave itself is not that dangerous. I want a B rank to deal with the monsters that spring up sometimes."

"What does your husband think of the strength of the Ice Fox?

"... it's equivalent to B rank, but it's self-declared in the request form. You should be suspicious of that."

After all, Rigellians alone are a little heavy. I originally meant to ask Eileen for help - but now I need to ask her to move tomorrow.

"The man at the Blue Archer's Pavilion... considering Zeke, it's possible that the ice fox is a monster of the same SS or S rank as him."

"As a possibility. I can only ask someone who can safely handle both Zeke and Ice Fox."

"Mmm... a ghost girl. It is thought that the hero of the Light Sword, but when the opponent becomes a beast, it is Eileen who is accustomed to dealing with it. That wild move had my tongue wrapped around it."

"Exactly. You're almost reading my thoughts, Verlaine."

"I am watching your husband and always moving my head to give a solution. So far, I haven't had much praise."

That's how she picks up her cup and puts her mouth on, and she changes her legs. The beast lurks in the middle of the night. Because things you don't think about every day are overwhelming.

"The demon daughter may be mistaken if your husband comes too late, but he has the will of steel."

"It's dangerous to fall asleep, he is. When I'm asleep, I'll wake you up carefully and magically."

I went to Eileen's house nearby to ask for Rigellian support, even though I was terrified of the war.

◆ ◇ ◆

Eileen's house is close to my guild, and she lives in the finest condominium on 12th Street.

I don't really care about the room, but I don't care about the income, so the room that I chose "this is good" without worrying about the rent was made for the top floor of 12th Street.

That said, the top level of 12th Street is the family of the informant and the owner of the shop that provides a moment of pleasure for tired men and women. It is Irene's wonderful place to get in touch with such liver ladies as usual.

Her multi-family home is built in such a way that several two-storey houses are connected to one another. At the far end of the line of houses of the same shape, there was a plaque of "Spélia". It is not written as Eileen because if it is known that she was a member of the Demon King Crusaders, she will be treated as a tourist attraction. In her neighborhood, she calls herself "Iri," and somehow prevents her from discovering her identity.

Ringing the doorbell placed at the entrance annoys the neighborhood, so I knock on the door. Tapping with the rhythm "2, 1, 3" signals that I'm here. I think it's a bad habit to use encryption up to this point.

I thought I'd repeat myself if I didn't hear you, but the door opened before that.

You can come in ~

"Oh, I'm sorry it's so late. Actually, I have a favor to ask... wow!

When I opened the door and entered, Eileen stood unexpectedly - no, when I opened the door, I didn't think it would smell like soap, but I didn't expect Eileen to be greeted by a single towel after taking a bath.

"Don't worry, Dick knows it's a sign. I don't usually dress like this."

"Oh, there's something wrong with my visit..."

"You came here to ask me something more than that, right? Talking about a rush job?

Her hair is usually tied down, and her bloody, healthy skin is very upsetting to me, but she is worried.

Is this the kind of relationship where the friendship between a man and a woman has been established? Am I not seen as a man? No, that's fine, people lose sight of something important by asking for more. Unfortunately, it is a completely unproductive conflict.

"Don't stand there and come in. I have to wipe my hair, so wait a minute. Ah, can Dick use his magic to dry it?

"Ah, ahh... that's fine. Before that, put on your clothes....."

"Even though it's hot now, if you wear clothes, you'll get sweaty. Then you have to take a bath again, right?

However, the towel is not so thick and the area covered is slightly thinner on the bottom. I had a hunch that if I turned around in that state, it would be dangerous.

Well then, let's do it over there. When Dick dried it, it was really rough ~, everyone said they wanted a Dick in the family. "

Aileen walks lightly looking back. I could see from behind whether it was the buttocks or the thighs, and I focused on the brow root and came to judgment, but I settled on the negative conclusion that it was the thighs.

◆ ◇ ◆

The technique I use to dry my hair is to cover the comb with magic, apply healing magic to my hair and repair the surface damage while leaving only the moisture needed to moisturize it.

The hair close to Aileen's peach color is strong against damage due to the harsh environment in the area where she lives, but it still seems that the finger streets after I put through the comb are completely different, and she liked it quite a bit. That said, it's been five years since I was on a journey of demon king crusade.

"Okay, this is it. Is there anything you'd like to know?

"Yeah, that's great. It's been a long time since you've done this, but you feel so used to it... eh? Perhaps you can do it for Verlaine every day...?

"No, I've never been asked. I dry myself every day."

"That's right... so you're saying you haven't done it in a while? Dick is really clever."

"I can't wait for you to say that and come back. Give it to me about every month."

"Yes, Ahahah, I think I'm back to being a kid. I used to have my mother dry it."

I remember my sister taking care of me when I was a child. My parents tended to be absent, so to me the two sisters were my mother's.

Sometimes I wonder how my parents are doing, but I don't feel like going home. My house is a group of independent people, and for my family, my home is only one home. Sometimes people ask me if I'm lonely, but I think my family has a lot to do with it.

"Well, even if I lived with Dick, they wouldn't let me dry it every day. Is there anything unexpectedly reluctant about Mr. Verlaine?

"I can see Eileen talking about it and asking for it... well, I hope it's not every day. Besides, Eileen. I'm sorry I just finished my previous job, but I need to ask you something quickly."

"Nh, that's fine. Hurry up. Tomorrow?

"Oh, I have a job for Rigellians, but they're competing with other guilds, and SS-ranked adventurers are intervening. I'm a man named Zeke, but I need you to stay away from him."

I'll show you my request to explain the situation. Eileen looked through it as she said, "Hmm."

"Yeah, I figured it out somehow. Instead of killing ice foxes, you want them alive. If that Zeke meets us in front of an ice fox, will he attack us?

"It's possible... but it's probably okay if we don't set it up here. I felt like I should get to the ice fox first."

I explain to Eileen that "Ice Fox" may be the beast of "Blue Fox Clan" and that it seems to have some relationship with Zeke.

"... trying to sell a veterinized beast as an unusual animal. Hey, Dick, aren't those galam-door chambers going to work? I can't let go of what I'm doing."

"I have asked Sakuya-san to investigate. They should be back soon."

"Ah, that's reassuring. Sakuya-san is also a beast, so I made him angry."

"I can't say that's not true, but she knows. You can impose sanctions on the Galamdoor Chamber of Commerce at any time, but there are ways to do it."

"Yeah, if it's decided to punish you, it's fine. That's all I can't give up."

Eileen held her fist tightly. However, it has been a towel for a long time, but is it still hot due to the hot water?

"Eileen, it's time to get dressed...."

"Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, get dressed right away...."

― ― An invincible fighter or SSS rank. I wondered if there might be an inevitable accident, and I saw Eileen standing up and watching a loose towel fall.

"Ah...."

Eileen says that's all she can say. I couldn't move, couldn't make a sound, and with my head completely white, I saw a limb that was usually hidden under Eileen's combat clothes, trained in vain, but not losing its suppleness.

Noteworthy, however, was the breast. I have heard that it decreases from my chest when I train, but such laws have always grown during my journey. As a friend, you can always stay unconcerned while you're in touch, but you can change your mind in an instant.

And Eileen doesn't actively try to hide it, and her long, hard hair hangs on her chest, hiding something important. She is not in a hurry to be ashamed, she is just staring at me.

"... Dick..."

The name that was supposed to be called many times now sounded different.

I was greeted by a visitor at night like this. I was shown a single towel because I was fine, so I wondered why I was calm.

She felt the same way.

If you say something, it will be decisive.

Without knowing what to say, I....

"... Master, were you picking it up?

"Hyah... ah, that? Sakuya-san, when did you...?

"I didn't hear back from you, so I felt strange and let you in. The master was here, and the manager of Verlaine said so."

"No, no... I was just waiting for Sakuya-san."

"... naked?

"Um, um, well, that's, uh, my way of tying it up... I'm sorry!

Eileen rushed into the dressing room to change her clothes. I didn't rewind the towel, so I looked behind it - no, I didn't see anything. It is for the sake of world peace that I think so.

"... I was a little upset by the unexpected, but I'll deal with it as an accident."

"Ah, ahh... that would be helpful. So, Sakuya-san, hurry up...."

"Yes, I will return to the Alliance for a detailed report later, but for the time being..."

Sakuya takes something like a leather belt out of her jacket. It contained magic letters and was decorated with magic stones and amulet gems.

It's not something that people wear. It was a collar made to attach to a beast.

"... a magic tool to keep the beast in the form of a beast. That's what this is about."

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to find only one thing left in the basement of the Galamdoor Chamber of Commerce."

"Well done. Have you looked into the effects of this collar?

Sakuya's long ears and pupils drip over the question. It showed no more that the collar had no effect.

"This deprives the beast of reason and awakens the beast's instincts. It's a magic tool to use."

Ice Fox escaped the Galum Door Chamber of Commerce because even if we could keep it beautified with this collar, the Mission was incomplete.

With the beast's instinct, the ice fox escaped. And according to Sakuya, almost all of the rare animals dealt with by the Galamdoor Chamber of Commerce were veterinized by beasts.

The last question that remains is the relationship between Zeke and the ice fox. Whatever it was, it was decided what to do.

Remove the ice fox collar and return to the Beast. If you regain your reason, the conversation should be over. So, everything will be clear about why the ice fox was caught and how it relates to Zeke.

"Thank you, Mr. Sakuya. All we have to do is fulfill the request."

"Yes, if the ice fox was a beast, he would press charges against the Galamdoor Chamber of Commerce after being freed from the collar."

"It will only end with an advance, but what you get from this job is much bigger than that. You're gonna make us regret bringing in our clients... but that's a lesson to be learned."

Sakuya had a tight face, but she smiled at my words.

"You must deny it yourself, Master, but you still deserve to be part of the Demon King Crusaders."

"I'm just moving around on my own. I'm not going to do what they say."

"Still, I think so. I still want to keep up with you."

Sakuya was delighted that she was moving in the direction of saving the Beast as a result.

I only know a little about her past. The Moon Rabbit is an extinct race, and she is its survivor. And she hates humans - that's all she knows now.

That's why I think about it even more. The time has come for us to work from the shadows in order not to continue the curse of humans and beasts.
