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

After flying to the transfer magic formation on the sixth basement floor, after Dick's party left, Shelley and Lotte watched the same six-floor defense again.

Not all Alliances have Adventurers above S Rank. As is the case with Sherry and Lotte, Alliance Master qualifications are greater than or equal to S rank, and there are overwhelmingly more Alliance members below C rank in standard Alliances.

Yesterday, Shelley and the others defeated a monster in the labyrinth that seemed to be sprouting new, but the strength was enough for C-ranked guild members to compete. However, Dick and the others were crushing Dragon Kimira, which is equivalent to the SS rank, and the monsters who were originally in the Labyrinth abandoned for a thousand years increased their strength by fighting each other like poison, and the ones with the A rank equivalent strength were scattered. Even the goblins had a black-black body color that Shelley and the others had never seen before and could not be defeated unless Lotte's Freil hit them with all his might.

The hierarchy in which Dick and the others did not finish eliminating the monsters is too dangerous to witness. The fact that even A-ranked adventurers could not be guaranteed meant that only a fraction of the 1,000 people gathered for the Labyrinth offensive were capable of fighting. If you can't confirm that the monsters that spring up are below B rank at a level that ensures safety, you can't enter B rank personnel.

Labyrinth tactics to crush the Berthalis Snake left fate in the hands of Dick and a handful of humans above S rank. However, there is no doubt that the collectors will not fight. Depending on the strength of the monsters that spring up again on these six levels, work can also be assigned to adventurers below B rank.

"Sister, as Dick and the others said, this hierarchy of monsters has been completely eliminated. Should I stay here with you just in case?

Lotte asks me for more time. Leonid and some adventurers came down one level at a time to eliminate the monsters that Dick and the others ignored.

Completely sweeping monsters like these six levels will drain the Demon King Crusaders of health and magic. Therefore, it was reasonable for Dick and his team to move forward avoiding unnecessary fighting, in the sense of quickly crushing the Berthalis Snake.

In a normal labyrinth, a "Magic Seal Company" may be created to prevent the monster from gushing again in the hierarchy that cleaned the monster once, but each level of the labyrinth is too wide, and several Magic Seal Companies must be built at equal intervals. It was unrealistic because the skills to create the company were specialized only for the highest-ranking monks.

A company is built around the magic circle, but it was built by Dick with Yuma's help. In an unprecedented way, I could say that the 40 people who came to the six levels, including Shelley, were out of hand.

(Dick is still on the seventh floor. Through pierced earrings, you can see how things are... the 7th floor can be tougher than S-rank)

There is an off-standard sandwich worm on the seventh floor, and even the toddler is said to be the size to swallow an oak.

Shelley doesn't like worms, and imagines a sandwich worm that makes them monsters and feels a chill on her back. I felt sympathetic that even Dick was fighting with a bad consciousness, but I don't want to step into the seven tiers - and I think she shouldn't.

"... it seems that the Knight Commander, Cody, can use the power of light to see some of the maze's tricks. Because there are others with such skills, I don't think we should be overlooking this hierarchy. If so, the next hierarchy. It's huge, it's buried in the sand, and it's hard to see what's in it."

"Now, can we also go to the seven levels to investigate, or can we ask Dick for instructions using the precious pierced earrings? I think it would be easier for him to instruct me to explore and explain it to others."

Lotte wanted to avoid finishing the day with only a six-story defense. If things go well, eleven levels of magic will open in less than half a day, and there may be movements, but in some cases the day will be crushed in a hierarchy without monsters.

Some of the Explorers who came down at the same time were afraid of it, and others said that they wanted to explore five levels voluntarily or that they would follow Dick and the others. They only see the situation after Dick and the others defeat the monsters, so they don't know how dangerous the untouched condition is. Knights above rank A, elite chosen among the nobles' guards, and bloody adventurers. Among them are some who are annoyed by their desire to take advantage of them.

However, as someone understands that the defense of the Transformation Magic Team is the most important task and performs it faithfully, it does not mean that everyone acts in isolation and falls into the worst situation. Those who have the skill to manage the Transfer Magic Team arranged by Dick will need to be heavily guarded as it will be difficult to make up for losing one.

But there are still 40 of them. In the current situation, where there are few headquarters levels, there is no choice because the staff is not distributed, but Lotte thinks it is convenient if the staff is redundant.

She spoke to the Alliance Master of the Blue Maiden Pavilion, who currently commands a six-story garrison to get permission to leave the base defense.

Kasumi Kushrina, one of the SS ranked adventurers of the King's City, is said to be the closest to the Demon King Crusaders, with the strength of Adventurer 66442, Kensei (Blade Saint).

At the age of 13, I reached S rank, and while keeping the name of the genius swordsman, I suffered from a serious illness that caused me to lose my eyesight and left the line. At the age of 20, I acquired the skills of "heart eye", and fulfilled the miracle of my return. I still can't say that I am in perfect health, but I am temporarily back as an Alliance Master because of the numerous events that are happening in King's City, and I am going to the Labyrinth.

"Dear Cashmere, I'm Charlotte Hartis, the Guild Master of the Red Twin Pavilion."

"Oh, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you since the last Alliance Masters meeting."

A gentle woman, she holds an old swordsman from the east to her master and speaks in a dull tone influenced by his tone. Lotte had a longing for Kasumi as a senpai, including his behavior and straightforward appearance.

"I wasn't feeling well at the last meeting, but I haven't been able to move for a long time now. If it's important to your country, you can't just spend a leisurely time in the Mansion. I hadn't cut a goblin in a long time yesterday, but I felt my chest burn. I still feel like I like fighting."

Kasumi talks happily with her eyes closed. Her sword is called the Dagger, and in King's Landing only Rhea uses the same series of weapons. The swordsman says that once he shakes it, it can rain blood, but now he smiles with pleasure.

Compared to Sherry and Lotte, it looks a little luxurious and makes me feel sick and weak, but sometimes it feels like sadness. Lotte thinks that being in the middle of Cashmere's "living together" means that he is being taken alive. If you get stronger than you're afraid of her, that means you'll earn the strength you deserve from your SS rank.

"But if Dick and the others leave you, you won't be able to get used to it. Even though waiting is not part of the job, it is quite enough. Speaking of which, it's not free."

"Yes, yes. So we wanted to help the advance team a little bit, and we wanted to explore the unspoiled part of the seventh floor. May I have your permission?

"I'd like to go, too, but Leonid's old lady asked me to do the directs, so I can't move. I'll leave my thoughts to you and I'll wait here."

"Thank you, Kasumi. I'll talk to you soon."

"I'm looking forward to it. For me, you're not a cute junior. Say things like old age, but be careful and go."

The tone of voice is only mature, but Kasumi is only 22 years old and is only five years older than Shelley and her sisters. Oddly the same as the Guild name, the glossy hair in the middle of the indigo and blue is long and tied behind the head, making it a characteristic hairstyle that is not just down. Combined with clothing from the Oriental tradition of wearing robes on top of each other, this creates a more seductive appearance than your age.

Such a woman, Dick, is caught in the eye by example. Kasumi respects the strength of the Demon King Crusaders, and Dick, a member of the Demon King Crusaders, once asked Kasumi to show off his moves when he met him at the Guild Master Conference.

For Shelley, Cashmere was a respected opponent of the same female Guild Master, but in one respect, she was wary of the boldness of how she approached Dick.

That's why I'm jealous of the Demon King Crusaders. And I'm worried about my sister. Shelley reflected on it in her heart and joined Cashmere in a conversation with her sister.

"... we have magic equipment to contact Dick. I'd like to explore the 7th floor if I can get instructions."

"If Dick and the others are leaving the monsters on eight levels, we're not worried. As a precaution, do you want someone of SS rank to accompany you? All right, let's have a couple of other squads patrol the entrance to the seven-storey building. In that case, even if you encounter a strong enemy on the 7th floor, you will be able to respond to the rescue request."

"Yes, that would be helpful."

"Now, let's go down to the seventh floor with Zeke's party. Let's recruit a few others who want to patrol this level before we leave."

Lotte is relieved that her hopes have gone through, but even though she is a member of Dick's guild, she feels a little reluctant to be accompanied by a man. Zeke had a big body and a SS rank, and Lotte felt a little intimidated.

"I'm Zeke from the Silver Bottle Pavilion. Thank you very much."

"Likewise, my name is Sakuya. The Master is always here for you."

"It's Lisa, thank you. Hide in battle, but don't pull your legs!

"I'm Sherion Hartis from the Red Twin Pavilion. Thank you very much."

Lotte is better known, so she always leaves it up to her sister to deal with the first person she meets. I want to hide behind my sister, but I can persevere and tell myself not to be wary of Zeke.

"Ah, speaking of which... Mr. Charlotte doesn't like men, does he? Mr. Zeke looks harmless to humans and animals, but are you still afraid?

"Ah, yes, no... I'm sorry, I'm not used to men. It's not that I can't do it anymore, so I'm fine. You're all with us."

"By working together, it would be helpful if you could cut it off. Don't interfere as much as you can."

Zeke walks ahead, to say the least. The other four followed, as it was reasonable that shadow shooters (shadow chasers), who were SS ranked and resistant to traps, would lead.

◆ ◇ ◆

Arriving on the seventh floor without any particular obstacle, Shelley contacted Dick with a magic device.

Exploring the 7th floor. We prioritize diving, so we certainly haven't been able to find out. The biggest bumps have been defeated, but there must be countless other smaller ones in the sandwich. I don't really recommend it..... "

Shelley feels a tickle as Dick's voice comes to her ear from a clear magic stone embedded in a pair of earrings. It was a strange feeling to hear Dick's voice whispering in my ear.

(... if you use this, you can always... yeah, I didn't get it for that)

Sherry, can you hear me? We're on our way to the next level. We can still come back while we're on the eighth level, so call me if you need anything. "

"It's okay. Now, be careful. Give my regards to the party people."

Oh, thank you. Take care of yourself. "

The sign of Dick talking about Shelley's consciousness faded away. Lotte, who was watching it, was as nervous as me, but when I finished talking, she sighed.

"What did Dick say?

"You can explore. I don't recommend it because there are still enemies who struggle in A rank, but I think this member will be fine. Liza....."

"Ah, you can just throw it away. This hierarchy is about to become an enemy, so I think you can rank with me... it's dangerous after all?

"No, I'm lurking in the sand. It's dangerous to be targeted by a lurking monster, but I can sense danger, so watch my ears. If you feel strange noises in the sand, your ears will stand up."

Sakuya shows the rabbit ears above her head. The rabbit's ear, which also appears to be worn on the headband, is the beast's ear, which is characteristic of the clear Moon Rabbit tribe, and its hearing is as good as any of the Beast's tribes.

However, when Sakuya saw her ears twitching and stood up, Shelly's cheeks became a little red. I thought it was "cute", so Lotte realized that she was enduring it so that her sister wouldn't show it to her face.

Zeke nodded small in Sakya's ear and formed a formation that the rest of the members would follow him a little earlier to keep her enemies alive. The Moon Rabbits were suited to the sand and were able to give the party members the same effect as Verlaine's "walking on the sand" magic, using their own magic, so they were never taken by the sand.

"... hmm?

"Wow, I'm surprised. Mr. Zeke, what's wrong?

Zeke stopped going ahead, and Liza stopped in a hurry. Zed silently repositioned himself at the temple and said as he watched the entrance to the ramp up to the sixth floor.

"Maybe someone else has been patrolling up there. I felt someone's gaze."

"Well, don't say such creepy things, if you don't come down here, you won't see it."

"I'm sorry. As a precaution, I will serve as Your Highness."

When Zed replied briefly, he remained silent and heightened his vigilance towards his surroundings. As a shadowsman's skill, it is possible to respond immediately to an ambush - but not a monster in the sand, and Zeke felt threatened by something invisible.

I wanted to use my ability to fight and clean up the monsters that Dick and the others left behind, but I thought I had to be careful.

If this conjecture is correct, the enemy is not just a monster - where Zeke thinks so, Sakuya's ears react.

"Ladies and gentlemen, spread out! They're coming from below!

Everyone follows instructions and flies in five directions. Then a sandworm with hardened skin broke through the sand and appeared. With only a whistling sound, the sandworms aim at Liza, whom they consider to be the weakest, and try to eat her.

"― Shadow Mirage

Lisa felt she could avoid herself, but she was aided by the magic of Zeke. Two copies emerged from Lisa's shadow, and the confused sandwich lost sight of Lisa's body and attacked another shadow.

"Gyah....!

Just past Lisa, a giant sandworm plunges into the sand. As soon as I left it, I started to dive, but I didn't miss the gap and Sherry and Lotte attacked at the same time.

"'Lightning Whip'...!

"Haaah... 'Whirlwind (Rolling Smash)'!

Shelley takes out the whip and throws a thunderbolt of Spirit Magic at the sandwarf's torso. The skeleton of the sandworm that shocked with lightning is transparent - only the exoskeleton holds, and only the teeth and skin are made of strong bone.

And into the charging sandwich, Lotte spins the flail to create a centrifugal force that knocks into the body. The exoskeleton of the sandwarf is shattered and blown away into the air, not just into the sky, and disappears into the darkness of the labyrinth.

"Hah, I'm surprised... I knew it was amazing, because I'm a twin, so I just breathed."

Liza strokes her chest down and says. Lotte and Shelley both put their weapons away and smiled at her.

"... were you okay? Because it's easy to target, you should be careful."

"But it's also easy to protect because it's easy to target. That would be a long and short story."

"Let's go with our hearts. Apparently this level is buried in the sand, but it appears there was some sort of facility. I don't know if it was made by someone who broke into it in the past or if it was the original labyrinth, but it's worth checking out."

Sakuya, who has knowledge of the ruins, observes the rock exposed from the sand in front of him and discerns that it was originally a stone pillar with some letters engraved on it.

Instead of Dick and the others looking into it one by one, we'd better take charge of the investigation ourselves. Sakuya thought so, but Lotte was also delighted in her heart that things had gone according to her wishes.

(It is good to be on this level. Whatever information you need to find...)

The Five resume their exploration. After a while, no monsters appeared, and the search for the sand-buried facility continued while carefully exploring the surrounding signs.

◆ ◇ ◆

The eight levels were the grassland and lake levels. We first encountered the intensity of the drop from the dry sand, but that was only the beginning.

As they approached the lake, monsters like the Half-Milk lurked on the bottom of the lake - Aqualan - emerged, but they were not our enemies, as the strength of rank A seemed to be at its limit over time. Scared by Cody's intimidating shots, they quickly return to the bottom of the water. It doesn't seem to be a militant species originally.

"I thought it was a beautiful lake, but you can't drink water without a monster."

"Aqualan only lives in clean water, so I don't think it's a problem to drink it. Do you have a problem with your feelings?"

Eileen and Cody say as they look at the wide lake. The light in the cave is as bright as the upper hierarchy, because light is coming in from somewhere. It's not connected to the ground, so there must be some other light source. It's not like lunch on the ground, but I don't have trouble securing my vision.

"It looks like we're going to have to fight on this floor... hmm, what's wrong? Master, is there something that bothers you?"

Verlaine, who is carrying me, looks at me and calls out.

I spoke to Shelley earlier, but she said she was coming upstairs. After we destroyed the sandwarf, we cleared a part of the sandwarf's body that was blocking the road with Miralka's formation and proceeded - indeed, there was still something on the seven levels that bothered us. It was buried in the sand and exposed everywhere, but there was something there.

We've come this far as a precursor, but this floor is long enough to forget that it's in the labyrinth. While everyone is resting, you might want to go back to the seventh floor and see what's going on.

"Guys, sorry. Could you wait here for a minute? I'll see what's going on at the party upstairs."

"Yes, I understand. Now, it's a good time, so we're having lunch."

"Hmm, let's do that. I've rested enough on your husband's back, but meals are also important for restoring magic."

Verlaine gets off my back. When she unsealed the "Spirit King's Scepter," she returned to her original Servant. Apparently, transformation doesn't mean you lose your original clothes.

"Dee, can I come with you?

"Yeah, I'll be right back, if that's all right."

"Yeah, thanks. I'm a little worried."

Master left his luggage and came to see me in a light state. She can fight without a hand, so she won't have a problem.

Both of you, stay out of the way and come back.

"It's okay, Miralka. I'm afraid of the aftermath."

Take Master back the way he came.

Why do I care - I may still be overprotective. I know what we're looking for is a deep dive.

But don't leave what you're worried about. I ran towards the sand hierarchy, paying attention to the same magic piercing I gave Shelley.
