Mr. Kasumi was wondering what the status of his guild was, but there were reports from the "Information Network" that nothing was wrong, so he explained.

"I see... that's good. Leon hated me for taking away one eye. That's why I've been targeting you on this night road."

"... I'm sorry. What Leon... did to my brother is never forgiven. I'll do this bullying."

"The Knight Commander is Leon's... brother, no resemblance. I don't know where Leon distorted it... maybe I could have done something about it."

Kasumi thinks of Cody as a man. It is not easy to reveal, so I decided to leave it lying still.

And one more thing. I have something to tell Kasumi, who feels responsible.

"I think Leonid is right, too. You should never force something against a disgusting woman. Kasumi-san is not bad at all."

"... if you say so, you'll be saved. If I were a little stronger, I might have been able to get Leon out without hurting one eye... and I suppose it wouldn't be cute for a woman to flirt like that."

Kasumi smiles a little lonely. I want to say that there is no such thing, but then it becomes like a dictation.

"Kasumi is a very attractive woman. I admire strong women."

"Fufu... thank you, Lord Knights. But it's hard for me not to say anything to someone I want you to find attractive."

"No, no... I think I'm attractive, too. But when I say it, it's like I was looking at you like that...."

Unfortunately, what are you so upset about? I wish I could call it a salad like Cody, but I'm really not good at that.

Well, since Cody is actually a woman, I'm sure there's something to be praised for about her - but Kasumi, who was walking a little further away, took my arm and leaned against me.

"Nh... Kasumi-san, aren't you a little too close?"

"That's also the beauty of your place. I'm not young anymore, so this kind of thing takes courage. I don't think this outfit is too much of an impossibility... now you're getting embarrassed."

In other words, Mr. Kasumi is dressed like this, thinking about when I came back to see him.

Smooth white skin peeking from the bold open chest. A big chest makes it difficult to wear Oriental clothes like Kasumi's, but that creates another charm - a swordsman who blindly enters five fingers in King's Landing will spare no effort to show such a glossy appearance.

"... Cody. Say something, don't be a little too bold...."

"No... I think I know that Kasumi-san wants to do that. I think it's a thank you, and I think I should accept a little something."

"I really understand the story... I didn't think I'd dare make a male friend, but I feel familiar with Master Cody. That's Dick's best friend."

"If you want Dick to say something, tell me. Me and everybody around me are in trouble with Dick."

"Nh... wait. Suddenly when you say such a thing, you'll feel the dark clouds hanging over our relationship, and you'll be worried."

Of course it was a joke, and Cody knew it too - he laughed joyfully and looked up at the moonly sky.

"The sky is so clear. I don't think my relationship with Dick will change in a little bit."

"... don't take it in the embarrassing direction. It's a lot of light."

"It's hard to have friends to say that. I think Dick should take care of Lord Cody from now on."

It's odd to say that I take care of it, and I will always rely on the power of Cody when I need it. I used to say the last token, but Cody plays the core of immobility in the best I can think of.

--However, with that Cody's Light Sword, an unbreakable opponent appeared.

"I'm glad you took care of me, but I'm a man whose worth is recognized only in battle. So you have to be stronger. Dick, will you help me?

"Oh, of course I'm going to."

"I'd like to ask Dick to teach me too much, but I can't get to the SSS ranks first. If you were reborn a few times, you wouldn't be able to shoulder to shoulder with Dick."

"No, Kasumi will still be strong depending on the weapon and the way you fight. This is another opportunity for Cody, but would you like to train with him?"

"... you're absolutely..."

"Eh... uhh, wow, Kasumi-san..."

Kasumi tries to pinch my arm in her chest - and since Cody isn't resistant to this at all, she turns red enough to be seen with sparse street lights.

"... you're really good at impressing people, and you're angry. It would be good if this were done for a while. Don't worry, my breasts aren't going down."

"No, no, it won't, but I'll shrink mentally...."

When a woman takes hold of the pace, it collapses - I think we have to do something about it, but every time she walks, her chest elasticity is transmitted and she can't help it. I just hope that Mr. Kasumi's clothes won't fall apart any longer.

"... I always thought that Dick was particularly vulnerable to older women. Even among younger people, Miralka is a special exception... oh, yeah, that's right."

"Oh, hey. Don't spread weird rumors about being vulnerable to a woman with big breasts."

"I'm not too big, but I'm confident in form. But Miralka can't help it... I can only imagine a destructive force gathering in my chest."

I hate to say this, but Cody and I laughed without thinking about it. But Kasumi doesn't know that five years ago, Miralka seriously asked Eileen, "Will my breasts get bigger when I become a militant?"

"After returning from the demon king crusade, Miralka seems to have had a change in mood. Could it be someone?

"Eh... di, Dick. Did you have such a relationship with Lord Miralka? That's because journeys and love journeys are neither synonymous nor irrelevant..."

"No, no... it looks like you're making a terrible mistake, but I swear I didn't do anything... no, what is it, Cody? You must have noticed something."

As Cody approached me from the other side of Kasumi's side, he whispered with a small voice.

"Dick's 'Enhanced Magic' seems to have an impact on growth if used for a long time. Of course, it's just a matter of growing up."

"Brr...."

"I'm still close... I wonder why the friendship between the lords tickles my heart like this. My guild daughters sometimes say things like that, but now I know how they feel."

Mr. Kasumi is dyeing his cheeks and looking at us. The mistaken Cody was looking at her cheeks in illumination, but as a cordelia, I was a little curious about how she felt about being seen that way.

◆ ◇ ◆

When I came back from the back entrance of the guild, it was a little past closing time and the lights were dropping. There are no lights on the second floor either.

"Is everyone already resting...?

"Hmm... this is..."

"Dick, let's go inside for now."

Kasumi tried to say something, but Cody put his hand on my shoulder and urged me into the store.

And then I opened the door - and I thought it was quiet inside.

"" Master, welcome home!

All of a sudden, all the lights in the shop lit up - and on the floor where the shop was supposed to be closed, there were guild members, including Verlaine.

Miralka, Eileen, Yuma, Sherry and Lotte. Beatrice and Leonid were there, too. Zekt and Mizha's brothers and sisters, Sakya and Lisa, Rigel and Rhea, and McKinley, are the guild members who are setting up information networks all over King's Landing. They couldn't all get together, so it was only a part of them, but there were still more than thirty of them.

"... were you assembling without telling me? Everyone's doing pretty good."

"Even if I didn't say anything, when the Master entered King's Landing, everyone at Silver Bottle Pavilion decided to welcome him. I've been looking forward to it."

Verlaine acts as shopkeeper in front of everyone. Behind her, the guild members are looking at me like they're expecting something.

"Even if you look at me so much, I'm not going to cry because I'm a good adult."

"Aren't you really happy to say that? If you don't think so, we'll just try harder. That's right, folks."

"Liza is right! I'll do anything for the master!

"I'm not as old as Rigel, but I'm always grateful to the Master. Isn't it true that we've done a big thing this time? I knew you were our pride."

"More and more jobs are entering the Silver Bottle Pavilion. The size of the building is small, but the Alliance is already becoming the king's capital."

Lia doesn't hide her respect for me. McKinley would have respected Duke Solver, but he seemed to see me as the same or more.

This is not an opportunity for all of us to get together. Members of the network who always share some information will face each other directly for the first time in a long time - then we should talk about it again.

"I don't want this guild to be the first in King's Landing. For now, you can still do it the way you always did. I also think that the current guild can change quickly when it should. That's because everyone thinks about each other and works for this guild."

Few people gather to talk like this, but everyone listens to me.

No one should be missing easily, but since it is an Alliance, there is always a replacement. Still, my guild barely slipped out, even with the increase in staff.

I also hear that Leonid, Cashmere, and the Hartis Sisters' Guild balance old ginseng with newcomers. That's because we've been talking to each other about the Alliance and looking for directions.

"Dick says this, but you know it. This man is a master enough to make a name for himself in the history of the Adventurer Guild. I have seen more than fifty years of old age than I have yet to see. It's a happy thing an adventurer can do under a master like that."

"Leonid... can I ask you to kill me with compliments? And the person who's coming with you... is that your grandson?"

"Eh...."

Next to Mr. Leonid is a woman dressed in black, just like him. She nodded ashamed to confirm my question.

I heard you were fifteen, but you're comparatively tall like my grandfather Leonid. Mr. Leonid taught me spear technique for self-defense, and I am a talented person with an A rank. However, it shows a retractable personality, with long forehair and hidden eyes.

"It's my granddaughter Thio... and I'm telling you to take her this time around. But when I got here, I came out in front of you, and I was like the cat I borrowed."

"... this time... I'm very happy to welcome you home..."

"Oh, thank you. I'm Dick Silver, and your grandfather always takes care of me."

"I'm the one taking care of you. This is awesome, you."

"Really. Everyone said that Dick would remain the same, but that was true, and part of it was wrong. Our Guild Master has asked him to become Grand Guild Master, but he is reluctant to make it his official title. But I want you to know that Dick is that kind of vessel."

If you think everyone would be surprised, it's not true - oh, there are many members with faces, but none of them think I'm worthy of it.

That's why I'm happy to know how attached you are to your Alliance - but I have to sit back and finish the work of being in the Alliance in order to remain solemn in the future.

"Well, not to mention that... Dick, what are you going to do tonight?

After closing the store, the guild members will start to shy away from saying that I am open today - if they thought you were such an innocent man, I want you to change your perception.

"I'm so glad you're here. We'll do business tomorrow as usual, but... have a lot of drinks and enjoy it until the day changes."

As soon as I said that, there was cheer everywhere on the floor. The guild members of the Adventure, Store Operations, and Intelligence divisions, who always worked seriously, enjoyed drinking with other members of the division, who often liked alcohol.

Verlaine gave instructions and brought the first cup of Ale from the kitchen to Kinkin. Sphere, Mizha, and Leonid's grandson, Thio, were given carbonated water from a seasonal melon (Aquamelon).

Well, why don't you ask Sphere?

"Eh... oh, Dad, what should I do?

Invite Sphere, who was with his master and other mothers. Miralka and Eileen were as nervous as they were about themselves, but Yuma was calm and she was the godmother.

"Hold this glass like this and say, 'Cheers! Say,"

"Uh-huh... okay. If that's what your father says....."

"... Kasumi, didn't you just say that she's your father about Dick?

"It sounded clear to me... there's nothing wrong with it. Is it normal for a man with a large vessel to have one or two daughters?"

"Well, is that so? Well, I sometimes take care of relatives' children, too."

The two of them settled down with an explanation of "why", so the confusion didn't spread to the Alliance - or, on the contrary, why there was so much respect.

"If you were a master, you would be relieved that you were interested in women rather than just one of your hidden children."

"Instead of being respected, I was thought to be a freak...."

"Have you noticed anything yet? You've changed a lot."

"Ahahah, I don't want Miralka telling me that! But I'm also a strange person, and Dick's hard to find."

"It's the only soul that can't be found even after searching for the end of the world... oh, I really want to calm down... the most energetic and energetic soul Dick has ever had..."

It's probably not my fault that I got stronger just by returning to my original body. The adventurer strength of 530,000 is the highest instantaneous value I can give with everyone's help, but I personally feel it's going up more than 100,000.

"If I was playing a part in everyone's misunderstanding, I knew it...."

"Nh... did Cody say something?

"No, it's nothing. Sphere, I'm watching, so please say hello."

"Yes, oh... oniisan! Your father is back tonight, so let's all celebrate and have fun! Cheers!

"Cheers!!

The sound that shakes the whole shop - but doesn't bother the neighborhood - is a sound barrier in this hall, so I can seal off the sound in the building if I want to.

I'm going to pair glasses with one guild member after another. For some reason, men like Rigel drank a drink each time - everyone had a good drink.

"Master, it's been a long time since I've seen you, but you're alive and well."

Zeke also imitates everyone and drinks the first glass of ale. Surprisingly, he also acts by reading the flow of air on the spot - so even if he's just entered, there's a lot of trust around him.

"Dear Dick, we can now make our own coconut drinks! Can you taste it once?

"Oh, I'd love to. Coconomies are delicious no matter how you drink them. It can also be used to make sweets, and it's a versatile ingredient."

"Mizha, don't take the wrong rum. It must have been tough before."

"Oh, that's so weird. I can't mistake the coconut shake for the one soaked in rum."

Mizha ate the fruit immersed in Coconoviram and was quite drunk once. Zed doesn't know that, but if he finds out that my sister took a bath with me, what would she react to - I don't think she's going to fight me.

Next came Beatrice. She was summoned by Verlaine to the Dragon Ride Watch, but returned to King's Landing with Verlaine and Miralka.

"Dear Dick, Irina and Mermaire are resting in the Mansion because they are a little tired."

"Ah, thank you so much... for coming today. The Duke of Ashtle was hostile to Albain."

"I explained the situation to your grandfather. Finally, as you know, he apologized to the people of Albain. In the future, you said you would do your best to support Albain's policy of harmony....."

"The Duke loved Beatrice so much. It was really good to see you there."

Beatrice wipes her tears - I noticed there, but her body is really very slight, but slightly clear.

"I'll be seeing the Mansion soon. Until then, are you okay?

"Ha, yes... just a little bit, so if you stay close and absorb the magic, you'll be fine for the time being. Master, there's so much magic in there, it's just so close... so warm..."

Not that my magic is overflowing, it seems that Beatrice of Lace Queen can absorb some magic just by saying that I am in the same space.

While doing so, Miralka comes with Master. Miralka seems a little upset, and Master seems to be having fun as usual.

"Absolutely... this is it when I look away. Again, are you willing to put your magic supplies in the same bed... and tease me properly?

Miralka-chan can't split you up. Well then, Dee, I guess you're the only one left. "

"It would be nice if it were within my reach...."

Miralka stares at us. Her gaze was painful and she felt like a needle banquet. She moved her gaze and noticed that Miralka had a glass of wine of a familiar color.

"Is this... 'Rainbow Shizuku'?

"Yeah, yeah. Before you came back, we talked about getting it ready, and we tried to make it together...."

"It's a celebration of Dick returning home in many ways. I really wish I could use Kamikaze as a hidden flavor, but I guess I'll do it again."

"It's just a little different from Dick's 'Rainbow Shizuku' sake. Do you understand?

What was on the sake with the rainbow's seven colors - I don't serve it much to customers, but it was my favorite fruit, "Dark Sugar".

As its name suggests, it is a rare fruit that can be harvested from a sugar tree that grows in the back of the cave with only light from the moss.

I'd like to replant some cave and try to grow it myself, but it's not working yet and we have to ship the natural stuff. I should have run out of stock by now.

"The Cardina grocery store brought it to me in the absence of your husband. The chef kept it, so I thought it would be good for your husband's hospitality."

Black fruit floats on the rainbow. The colour is not worse than I thought, and the blend is no worse than what I made.

"Well, don't hesitate to... let me drink it before the ale so that the taste doesn't cloud."

Miralka gives me a glass with a nervous look. When I tried to apply my mouth without mixing it first, the seven kinds of liquor were mixed so well when I tilted the glass, and the colorful flavors in my mouth seemed to bloom - I can only say it was great.

In addition to the dark green fruit, there is also a flavor added to the distilled liquor so as to add flavor without breaking the overall color. If it weren't for Verlaine, where I often make alcohol, I wouldn't have thought of such a way - the aftertaste would be refreshing and the "Shizuku of the Rainbow" would turn into an even higher alcohol.

"Ah, it's delicious. I never thought of using dark glue like this."

"You seem to like pinching it, so it was gone before you could use it..." Verlaine said. I've never said that before. "

"Father's favorite stuff, oh... oneechan wants to know a lot. Hey, what else do you like?

In order to respond to that, it's actually too much to bother me - I bought a few rare ingredients, and while researching the menu, I didn't always get them if I was delayed in doing so, so there were a few things that I was in trouble with.

"... what Dick likes... if only he could tell me."

"Ah... onee-sama is putting in the red color properly, but I..."

I wonder if Lotte is getting a little more alcoholic alcohol around. I am getting drunk and my condition is getting different. I've actually learned a lot about getting drunk before, so I should try not to make you drink too much.

But Lotte, unlike her sister Sherry, still cares about not being Sphere's mother. As she gently stroked her sister's head, Shelley pointed to the red part of "Rainbow Shizuku."

"Because Lotte and I are one. Lotte's in here too."

"Really? Then can I feel the same way as onee-sama...?

"Sure, if Dick hadn't bothered..."

Shelley thought she wasn't drunk, but her eyes were getting rough - and she couldn't keep an eye on them.

"Ah, no more... don't stand up here forever, come and sit over here. I'll give you a drink, and you don't have to move as much as you did today."

"No, no, I can't calm down because I can't move..."

It is also unusual for Miralka to be gentle, so it is the mountains that I want to sweeten my words, but the side of hospitality is more suited to sex than being treated. But Hare-san came out of the kitchen and shut me out.

"What are you talking about, Dana? Leave the cooking to me, sit tight. Look, Ramsas is doing his best in the kitchen... and he's as cute as ever, Sphere. What do you want to eat? Let oneechan make it for you."

"Please make something for your father more than me. I'll, uh, do that with my mom."

The silent gazing and sequencing of all my daughters, who say the most outrageous things, has already begun.

"Dee, you said until the sun changed, but maybe until this morning. It's okay, I'll go out with you."

"Ah, after all, Mr. Rimse has the best atmosphere. But, um, I'm the first one to do it. Dick, what do you want to eat?

"Okay, I'll choose, so don't stick to the nonfiction, just in time...."

Be careful of Eileen, who is trying to pull me to the table, but when she thinks her eyes sparkle like a cat, she narrows the time even further - at that moment, I irrevocably realize that I am suffering from a painful gaze from all directions.

"* Giggle *, how popular is Master?!

"Exactly the man in the man... how can I get there too? Let's talk tonight, Mr. Zeke."

"... I see. I'd like to talk to the Master about combat technology... Mizha, don't be too shy."

"If you like, we're just doing Mr. Waitress's job. Master, I brought the dish ♪ Albain pork cheek herb stew."

The shop was full of seats for my family, and it was very exciting. Even if you combine three tables for four people, you don't have enough seats, so you can sit back and talk, drink, and eat delicious food.

Enjoy a banquet until dawn. Cody, who was sitting next to me, had already had three glasses of ale and her face turned red, but she didn't get drunk and her personality changed. She drank a second toast with me and said, "Fresh Lemonade."

"... thank you. Thanks to you, I finally had the courage to face my brother."

"I see... I'm sorry. I had no choice but to fight."

"It's okay. I was glad that you fought for me. I didn't even have the courage to fight no matter how bad my brother did... but I could fight with you today."

"I have to make Leon pay for what he did. But if that makes Cody suffer...."

Intercepting my words, Cody puts meat on the fork and gives it to me with his hand.

--That face, no matter who else sees it, is red stained with fresh shame so much that Cody realizes she's a woman.

"Defeat that brother... break my heart. And you're going to jail. As a knight, I will not leave him who avenged my country. [M] It's my duty, but it's also my will."

"... that's not what I'm talking about. I've been prepared."

"... they're both a big decision for me."

I carry Cody's meat to my mouth as subtly as I can. Some Guild members - and Cashmere - are responding sensitively because men don't think about each other. Miralka and the others look at Cody slightly, but it's not a joke, it's a pure blessing. If they say you're talking about me, I can't help it.

"Mr. Forgotten Dick, is the meat served to the Knight Commander delicious?

"... if it tastes different, why don't you let me eat Miralka too?

"Eh... that's not what I meant to say..."

"Er, Miralka looked happy when we decided on the order over there earlier."

"Ah, you're... wait, Eileen!

"Yikes, don't be angry! Dick, you can't eat until you're full, because it's my turn!

Miralka chases Eileen upstairs as she escapes. Once it's time for a break - it won't be a fight between the two of us.

Suu......

"Ah, Sphere's asleep. Dee, take him upstairs."

Even artificial spirits fall asleep normally. I was walking around the floor in a tavern uniform with my master, so I seem to have lost a little magic.

"... do you think I look better than Vel-chan?

"Hmm... it's hard for you to follow me. But it looks good on you."

"Eh... ah, Dee-kun, if you like it, I wear it like Vel every day..."

"What do you mean, it's the privilege of the shopkeeper and the waitress. Master, let's try Master's cage from another side."

"Uh-huh... well, let's do our best. I don't know how to please a boy... but if you don't show me how old you are, I'll make you love me..."

When Master really thought about it, I didn't feel like I was such a difficult wall, but when I thought about it, Verlaine looked at Master with a happy face.

"Master, if you're alone, and if you're alone... Master, may I ask you a few questions? For the time being, I would like to ask my husband to talk to me about his childhood after he returns."

"Yeah, that's fine. Dee, I'll tell you how cute you were."

"Ah, don't talk too deeply... because it's embarrassing."

I'll pick up Sphere and take him upstairs. A sphere with a body that can be touched, but much lighter than it looks.

--The Sphere came up the stairs with his arms around my neck.

"Good day, Dad."

"Ah, ahh... sorry, I tried not to wake you up."

"Yeah, it's okay. You know, I'm so glad everyone likes you."

"That's right... I really appreciate that, too."

It is different from modesty to merely deny the kindness of others. That's why I accepted Sphere's words honestly.

Sphere that moisturizes your eyes by looking at me like that. I wonder what the definition of artificial spirits is - if it is so emotionally rich, establishes a will, and can behave the same as humans, then it will not be different from humans.

"I love my father, too. Thank you for your help."

That's how Sphere moves, leaving a faint feeling on her cheeks.

A kiss from my daughter. To be honest with such a loved parent, I wondered if I could be myself - but when it comes to reality, I feel strongly that I have to protect this child no matter what happens.

"... ah. My moms saw me."

"What is it...!?

The door up the stairs was open, and Miralka and Eileen looked out.

If I went upstairs like this, I wouldn't be so worried.

"Look, I want Dick to hold me too...."

"... it's no wonder Sphere's feelings are getting higher. You're too unconscious for that."

"I'm sorry... is that where I apologize?"

"Dad, the secret to 'family happiness' is for Dad to be kind to his mother ♪"

My daughter's relentless suggestions will make me listen to Miralka and Eileen one by one - but before that, I have to do something.

The second expedition of the Demon King Crusaders, the liberation of Ratchrist. When I finished it safely, I thought I could finally get back to the days when I was listening to my client in the corner of the counter.
