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

My soul left my body and stayed in Sphere for six days. It was short when I said this, but I felt it was terribly long.

Everyone worked hard to heal me, and Sphere encouraged me to practice dragon riding every day to get into dragon riding. The newborn girl wants to play with everyone, but she doesn't tell me that, she says this instead.

"If you're with your father, you'll have fun with anything. It's fun to walk, watch the scenery, and just take a nap with us."

I think she has a healthy daughter. I don't care about artificial spirits, she's a dear family to me and to everyone.

Luger tried to hurt his family (Sphere). And the people who work with him must be dealt with appropriately.

As far as the remains of Verlaine's Summoned Spirit, The Shatterer, are concerned, Lugard is deeply injured. Before returning to King's Landing, the Shaker stopped chasing Lugard, but there was another person who was different from Lugard.

I've never used it, but this one is called a cigar - it still shows signs of ignition and use. Someone left it where Lugard was.

A plant leaf is dried, wrapped in paper, tubular, lit, smoked, and absorbed in the lungs. Some people feel calm, others get excited and have a hypnotic effect.

And there were signs of fighting nearby. Looking at the forest along the river, some trees were cut down by someone - and there were traces of animal blood.

I could not trace the remaining magical traces carefully. But I'm sure that someone came into contact with Lugard and the person who came into contact left a cigar behind.

The person who lit the cigar is using some kind of magic. The remnants of magic that occurred at that time were not Lugard's.

Who lit the cigar and threw it away? Did you think that no one would come to the investigation, or did you despise that nothing could be done when you came? Looks like the latter to me.

Anyway, if you look at the current situation of Albain's SS-ranked adventurers, you'll see who's not in the country right now and who might be working with Lugard.

◆ ◇ ◆

After we went down to the Fire Dragon Ranch west of the King's Capital, we asked Shura Lao and his two children to take care of the dragon and used the transfer magic to return to the basement of the Silver Water Bottle Pavilion.

"Is this... are we already in King Albain's City?

The underground magic room is surrounded by stone walls and looks like a labyrinth. Mermaire seems a little worried, but when she saw the brewery when she left the room, Irina and I were relieved.

"It's our guild's basement. On the first floor, we run a tavern, and on the second floor, it's a residence."

"Sure, you can hear a lively voice... it's the busiest time in the tavern, so you should be careful not to disturb it."

Irina looked down at the knight's armor she was wearing. This is like saying that I am a soldier of Elsein, so I need you to change.

"Ah, welcome home, Dick! The manager said he'd be back soon, so I was expecting him now or now."

Mizha, dressed as a waitress, comes down and comes before me. What a lovely figure to wave your tail - usually it's in a long skirt, but when you get high, it seems that the tail moves and the skirt turns over.

"Mizha-san, my skirt... if I don't be careful, my father will be illuminated."

"Ah... sorry. When my master came back, he was reflexively happy. My brother also told me to calm down a bit...."

"How was the store while you were away? I'll leave it to everyone."

"Yes, a lot of customers came. But the regular guy said he missed the store manager so much... and then a woman came along. I just told you, you're the greatest of the other guilds."

"I see, I must have misplaced it... who was it?

"I'm Kasumi-san. I really wanted to go see Dragon Ride, but he said," It's not our job to protect Dick from us. "

I recall Kasumi's characteristic tone. Even the Oriental costume you always wear, if you don't ruin it, I can talk to her calmly - but I'm often tempted to meet her, so it's hard to face her except when there are serious requirements. I'm not that tempting.

However, when you say "protect your absence", you feel that you want to say thank you.

--Even so, I think I have to protect the dignitaries of King's Landing from now on. I would like to ask Kasumi and Leonid, who play an important role, to cooperate to the fullest extent possible and to be careful of themselves.

"Irina, Mermaire. I have somewhere to go, so I'm going out for a while. Follow Verlaine's instructions until you get back."

"Yes, of course. Has Master Verlaine already returned?

"He came back a long time ago and said he would arrange a room in the Mansion because it was cramped and cramped to accommodate two people in the Guild House. Does Irina know Mr. Beatrice? I'm married, and he's a family member of our master, who manages the villa."

"Hmm... is Beatrice the son of the Farid family?! I heard that she went missing in a summons accident a long time ago... but I was no longer expecting a summons in the Kingdom of Albain. Master Dick rescued her?

Summoning accident - does this happen from the side of the demonic kingdom?

The technique of summoning and subjugating the High Demons, researched by the Stolen family. To be honest, I think it would have been better if it hadn't been sealed - but the Stolen family, who feared the attractive nature of Beatrice's ghost, probably saw no use in summoning magic and thought the research had been abandoned. Either way, it would be better to check with Primiere to see what happened to the research materials.

"... I summoned and contracted the High Demon Clan. Such magic exists in Albain. If they had used it, it would have been worse."

House Stolen's "Summon Contract Magic" hasn't spilled. If it is abused, you can summon the High Demon Clan to shred the power of the Demon King Kingdom.

"The magic research has stopped now, and it hasn't been spread. I rescued Beatrice, or it was a strange thing to be a family member... but as a result, we didn't have to increase the number of victims of the Summon Monster."

"Yes, what Dick did has great significance in bringing peace to the people of the demonic kingdom. The more I listen to you, the more I think about the size of Dick's vessel...."

"Really... I can't help but ask you for guidance about Dick. As a soldier, you have your guts trained, so I will do whatever you want! Come on, come on!

I'm thinking of going to Ratchrist as soon as I'm ready, but if Irina really wants something to do while I'm in King's Landing. I would like her to be a dragon trainer in the future, but I need a preparation period because I can't start training dragon jockeys right away.

"Oh, yes... Mermaire, I was talking to Verlaine, but Dark Elves are rare in King's Landing. If possible, will you look like a white elf? Then I want to ask you something with Irina."

"Yes, I will do whatever Dick tells me to."

"Dear Dick, I can't believe you're on a mission right now... you have to be very careful."

"In the meantime, could you change into this? Before, the store manager ordered some changes because there were not enough uniforms. It just arrived."

"Ah, those clothes... do you have mine too?

When Sphere hears about it, Mizha looks happy - she's the youngest in the Alliance, so she's happy to meet Sphere, who looks like her age.

"Of course not. The store manager asked me to do something really cute... let me see if Sphere can help you with the shop.

"Yeah! Dad, can I help you?

"Ah, let everyone teach you."

Mizha brings the uniform to Irina, Mermaire, and Sphere. I'd like to keep an eye on my daughter's work, but I can't wait at the store right now.

"... ah, um... Master, if you say you're going to take a change of clothes tour, I won't bother you now, but these two will be embarrassed."

"Eh... no, if you work at this store, you need to make sure that your body type meets the requirements... Dear Dick, please take an in-store test!

"When you embraced me in the cave, Mr. Sphere's 'father'... I mean, I think Dick saw me... how did it go...?

"Hmm... well, I was trying not to look at it as much as I could. Besides, if I had a physical examination at the store entrance exam, I wouldn't be able to find anyone to come into our store."

Irina and Mermaire looked as if they were together. When I saw this reaction, I felt that there were no alliances or taverns in the demon kingdom.

"I wouldn't say such a boring thing, even if I had a physical examination. When I enter this shop, I think it's rituals and rituals to show Dick everything."

"Really? Then I'll have to show Dad everything...!

"If Speir-sama gets that far, so do I.!

"Ah... where are you going, Dick? I still have a physical exam....."

"You don't have to look everybody in the eye to pass! I have business to attend to, so please come back!

I pushed myself up the stairs to escape. Verlaine then waited on the tray with a glass of drinks on it.

"It looks like you're in a hurry, but why don't you moisturize your throat?

"Ah, ah... thank you. There will be more new recruits, thank you."

Verlaine prepared a fresh water portion of the sanctuary pear, crushed into ice from the ice chamber. The refreshing flavor spreads after a sip.

"It's not like I'm talking about a physical examination... Looks like the Swagger attack didn't finish it off."

"Oh, I see. He must have taken a deep hand, but someone helped Lugard."

"... Lugard's people are infiltrating Albain. What happens after that is that we don't want to grasp it."

Verlaine had a harsh expression, but I put half the glass on the tray - I laughed.

"Is there something you can do? Even Master, I'm following the trail of someone who might be acting in secret....."

"Don't chase, put it on the net. They probably don't know what my guild is capable of. I've always acted to mislead people into thinking it's just an adventurer guild. At least until they leave the country."

My biggest priority in creating the ideal guild was to increase the proficiency of the organization called the Intelligence Department.

― ― The created "information network" is used to raise requests that do not appear in the table. I didn't use it as much as I could for other reasons.

It was because he did not interfere with the kingdom's politics or investigate the private activities of strangers. Dealing with Vincent, Lowe and after a plot can always be hard work.

But crushing such schemes before they rise is nothing more than turning this country into my ideal country. I wish I had more limited influence.

"... Master's 'information network' has a true appearance to counter what he sees as an enemy. That's what I'm talking about."

Twelve streets in King's Landing, noble neighborhoods, church districts, university districts - all the way to the Knights' base. Intelligence agents each have the scope to gather information, and when it comes to blind spots in the King's Capital, that's about the size of an individual's bedroom.

"If the enemy is underestimating us, they will come. If you know that, it's not that hard to prepare."

"When I saw this vast kingdom, I began to wrap my tongue around the richness of Albain's national power. How difficult it is to grasp all of this and prepare for an ambush..."

"I don't think I need it anymore. I can't let the inhabitants of King's Landing know their lives without knowing them. But I can't even say that right now."

"... I see. I want you to keep me safe. Good luck, Master."

"Oh, Verlaine, be careful. If anything happens, we'll be on our way, but perhaps the enemy won't be targeting this guild."

I don't know what the enemy is after. But I will never let my loved ones get hurt.

--Even if the murder is committed in the corner of King's Landing, I can prevent it with my own hands.

Leaving the back entrance of the tavern, Mr. Sakuya was there.

"Welcome home, Master. Congratulations on winning Dragon Ride."

"Thank you, Mr. Sakuya. I worked hard for Sphere and everyone helped me."

"I've heard what happened to Verlaine. Finally, the Master defeated Lugard Valenstein… Are they likely to come to King's Landing?

"Lugard probably won't come. He was laughing when I cut off his arm, but he seemed to admit losing. If you come, it's the other one. Sakya is an SS ranked adventurer in the Kingdom of Albain, do you know anyone who might be working with Lugard?

When asked, Sakuya slightly clouds her expression.

--I was not thinking about the possibility. It means that the next person to be defeated is the relative of a companion. But I can't pretend to look at it anymore.

"Leon, are you an adventurer?"

"... yes. Leon Brannage. I noticed that when the Master asked me to look into the background of the Knight Cody. That the names of the two families are the same, that the place of origin is the same"

Cody is the cause of the loss of trust in men. One of the SS-ranked adventurers with only a few fingers.

Once in King's Landing, the Demon King Crusaders - they moved to the sub-capital of Pardol when we returned from Elsein. But he disappeared a few years ago, and it was all alone.

It's hard to imagine SS ranked adventurers losing their lives in battle. I thought he was alive, but he did it on his own in a place out of sight of Albain?

"When Leon first arrived in King's Landing, he was mentoring his parents' old friend, Leonid of the Black Lion Pavilion. However, he was poorly behaved and certified as an SS rank, but he was not recommended by the Alliance Master. After that, I moved to the sub-capital and started my own guild."

"To Mr. Leonid... is that so? He won't forgive a man who makes a woman unhappy. I can't help being broken down."

"The former Master of Golden Balance Pavilion was dating Leon, but his engagement was unilaterally abandoned and a suicide attempt was recorded. The Master of the Blue Maiden Pavilion was also forced to become involved... when Leon was injured in one eye."

I didn't think it would be difficult for Cashmere - but Cashmere, too, was turning Leon back.

Despite repeated problematic actions, Leon was only recognized for his strength. That means the battle rating is purely high.

"The adventurer intensity when Leon left King's Landing is 63248. Since the Lugard is 70810, it is believed that Leon is following the Lugard."

"... no. That was five years ago. The Lugard I fought felt stronger once than 70,000."

"Are you saying that the Lugers are approaching the SSS ranks...?

"That's right. If Leon were so strong....."

If Leon is stronger than he used to be and wants revenge on someone he had a past connection with - he's after Kasumi.

Or Mr. Leonid and Cody. Either way, we need to focus on someone Leon has had contact with in the past.

"Tell Leon to be alert to potential assailants. Just in case, can you tell me what Lugard looks like?"

"Yes, sir. What will Master do?

I'm going to Kasumi's. I heard you came to the store earlier, but do you know which way you came back?

In response to my question, Mr. Sakuya touched the pierced earrings he wore to 'connect' with me, not words.

That alone tells us about Kasumi's current situation. And not only that, where the King's Capital has designated someone, intelligence officers placed like "nets" can share information with everyone in an instant.

"... Dee-kun... It's hard to gather ingredients if you're trying to make such magical objects."

"Master... aren't you resting up there?

"Yeah, Dee, I've been waiting for your orders, but it's my job and Vel's to protect this guild."

"Unfortunately, the information department of Silver Bottle Pavilion has trained and gained practical experience for these times. As it stands, the only things you can't grasp in King's Landing are bedrooms in private homes and very private places."

She knows me the same way. I can't create an ideal guild on my own - Master, I also share the idea of forming part of the guild with everyone.

"You're trying not to figure out what Miralka's doing in the bath, how Eileen's chest got bigger again."

"Ah, obviously... because I'm a female intelligence officer, it's beyond the limits of what I can do."

"Yeah, good boy. Dee, you're a world-class apprentice to me."

A compliment is a pleasure, but it is not the case. Did you notice Sphere too? She came out from the back door to see how she was doing.

"Lim, if Mom's going, so am I."

"Yeah, Sphere will stay here. I'll help you with your work."

"Really? But my father...."

"Don't worry about me. Thanks to Master and everyone else, I'm still alive."

Still poking and hugging your knees in front of Sphere. Sphere stuck to my back.

"Good luck, Dad. Besides, I'm not a master about Lim's mother....."

"That's... well, that's exactly what Sphere said. Mr. Rimserit... no, I knew Master was the best."

"Fufu... Dee-kun, I've been calling you Dee-kun, so you can always change it."

If you say so, it makes me wonder if I should call you by your name as soon as possible. If you think about it, "Master" is a name that indicates that I am sweet to her.

"... it's fine if it's 'Dee-kun', but I think it's better to call it an adult in front of Sphere."

"Is that so...? Uh... De... ah, I'm on hold now. In me, Dee-kun is always a cute Dee-kun...."

"It is most important to be in harmony. But I used to call myself Dick at first. I don't think it's that expensive."

Sakuya's unexpected remarks surprise me. Even if this is not possible, I have some kind of confrontational consciousness towards my master...

"... hmm? Dee, I wasn't sure about Sakuya-chan, but how did you get into the guild?

That's a good guess, Master - but it's never the kind of encounter she suspects.

But when I thought about how to explain it, both I and Sakuya noticed.

One of the guild members who weaves the "Information Network" mesh has conveyed a strange message.
