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

Beyond the western border of Albain, it passes far above Berbekia. Using the power of the Sword Spirit, Light Vision allows you to see the landscape on the ground that is not normally visible no matter how high the altitude is.

"There are also stone palaces and towns in Velvekia. It seems like a lot of people live in tents on the grasslands, moving around."

"Horseback riding is the only country. I suppose we could have raised livestock if we had moved through the territory and changed the grazing lands. But... we have been invaded by the demon kingdom of Ratclis in the south."

"People's minds are confused by anxiety and fear. Ahh... I want to teach you the teachings of Albain's God someday..."

On the back of the banning is a saddle for the four of us to ride together. I have Sphere on board, and the other three are Miralka, Cody, and Yuma.

Master, Eileen and Verlaine ride the Black Dragon, while Mermaire takes the lead. Banning left room, not full speed, but the Black Dragon finally came with it - it seems to have a smaller weight to load than banning.

"Mmm... there was some sign that your husband was being rude."

"Even though this black dragon is a girl, he's doing his best to fly. Dee, you've overworked Banning. That's more like a dragon than a firefly dragon."

I think God is exaggerating, but the appearance of banning in golden shiny scales that are indeed flaming dragons makes its gigantic body feel like such unparalleled majesty.

"Dick's cohesiveness hasn't even started yet."

"Yes, Dick's dedication is amazing. If you think you're going to be traveling for a while, you'll remember. We said a lot about ourselves, and Dick responded to everything....."

"I was impressed by Dick's care. When they repaired our torn clothes by hand, I was embarrassed that I couldn't do anything around me."

In rural villages, children are taught to fix their clothes and wear them for a long time so that they can fix them themselves. In my case, my younger sister's hobby was sewing, so I remembered it by looking at it.

I didn't learn everything from my family, and I often learned it myself to be independent. After my mentor taught me the wisdom to live, my mentor taught me almost everything that makes me who I am today - looking back, I still can't thank you enough.

"Mermaire, is that the Lattice army fort?

"Yes... after the two adventurers who broke in from Albain overthrew the castle, they sent Lattice soldiers to the border of Velbechia to invade without permission and take a part of Velbechian territory. I have heard that the fort was built by one of the four Lattice generals, Folks of the dust."

"General Rathklis IV... Are all four of them following Leon?

Verlaine asks. I have heard the story that the king of Lattice, Mermaire's father, is S-ranked. It is difficult to imagine that the Four Generals are stronger than that, so it is impossible to beat the Leons of the SS rank.

But he will resist. Not all of us know that we will lose, and not all of us will lay flat on our enemies.

"No, not all of them... only one General Volkes knows for sure. When the intruder appeared in the royal castle, two generals were supposed to intercept. General Glasgow and two General Ginada... but General Glasgow didn't join the fight, and General Ginada responded alone... but he was defeated and captured."

Even if you're riding another dragon, you can still talk through magic tools. It reminds Mermaire of something painful, but if we don't get any information, we'll fight without knowing what kind of enemies we have.

"... you gave up fighting while you were a soldier? What the hell is that Glass Goal thinking...?

Verlaine questions. There are two things you can think of: whether General Glasgow betrayed you, or if he saw you couldn't win and ran away. But would someone who has risen to the rank of general choose, without hesitation, to abandon their identity and just survive?

We still don't have enough material to make a decision. Lugard, the only information Leon got from them was around them, and we didn't know how to actually control Ratchrist.

Until now, we have only been able to gather information domestically. The exception has been going out of King's Landing, but I can't say that anymore.

(Elsein, Velvechia, Latochris. I want to find collaborators in each country so I can keep track of the situation. I want to avoid going backwards like this....)

"Is the other general still alive?

"Yes... but I still don't know if she's okay. From here to the west lies Laverna, the capital of Latticism. Albain's two adventurers have laid their hands on most of our national territory, centered on King's Landing. Only General Shade, who was in the east to train his soldiers and develop his uncultivated land, has declared and fought against those who have seized the throne."

Mermaire answers my questions - but it seems that she realized that Verlaine was riding with Mermaire almost at the same time as me.

"... that's not good. Master, a fairly large army is on the move."

"Ah, apparently they're going to decide a lot with that army. We have to stop them or we have to break the war."

I think General Shade has endured well. From the centre of Latticism to the east, the wilderness spreads, and to the east, we see a large fortress that appears to be used by General Shade's army. Though the number of troops that can be stationed is 1,000, there are many barracks nearby, which will bring the total to about 5,000.

It appears that a large number of troops had left King's Landing to work with the villages in the east to advance the development. Fortunately in misfortune, General Shade did not engage Leon and the others directly.

"Looks like the enemy just entered a castle en route. They will attack again when the soldiers are tired. I think the trend of battle has already been decided."

"I guess. But it's easier for us to move if you're careful. First enter the castle and target the Commander. Since it's a covert assignment, it's better to limit the number of members to a few..."

"Dad, look! There's smoke coming out of that village...!

Spears who were watching me with light vision raised their voice. She was right, smoke was rising from a village close to the castle where the enemy was about to enter.

"No way... you set fire to a village that didn't obey our wishes...!

Leon and Lugard, Ratchris gave in to their power - but not all the people will follow Leon and the others immediately.

There are people who want the rightful king's power restored. If you're going to twist down with your power just because you can't let them hear you, it's no longer an army to defend the country or anything.

First, we must stop the assault in the attacked village. If the dragons continue to consume hidden pomegranates as bait, and my Master and I use "hidden (hidden)" to diminish the signs to the limit, they will not be noticed by the enemy even if they descend near the village.

"Dick, do you think we should turn our enemies, rather than destroy that castle?

If possible, you should. We did not come to Ratchrist to pile up the bodies - we intervened as necessary to avoid a massive rendezvous.

But you won't be able to do anything that's too damp. We have the strength, and we don't have to think about it.

"No, I can destroy it to some extent. It's troublesome to be standing in a castle... If you make your enemies think it's dangerous to be in a castle, they'll be able to drive you away. It doesn't work with a little shaking, but Miralka should be able to do it."

Let "Poor Disaster" show its true skill. With that trust, Miralka looked at me and smiled so horribly.

Who do you think I am? I'll show you in a flash that such a castle is meaningless. "

"Miralka, you're so alive. If your lost soul is going to be full, then let me guide you."

"No, if there's such a difference in power, you don't have to take your life. Miralka doesn't wake up bad."

"Depends on the enemy. The monsters appear to be joining the army, so they will have to be destroyed if necessary. If you hesitate, we can do it."

There is no need to reassert your intentions in the face of the Demon King Crusaders. Sphere has less combat experience than everyone else, but under the circumstances, there will be no difficult enemies.

Stop the enemy here, or turn him over to General Shade. Mermaire holds the key. If the princess fights the usurpers, she can form a liberation army with the princess as the flag and gain a cause to attack the King's City.

However, if possible, the soldiers will stay "only moving" and minimize the damage by moving us in the shadows. Leon and Lugard are bound to fight for the throne of Latticism - if they will - until the Kings are liberated.

(Anyone who originally signed a contract with the "Armor Spirit" will eventually fight. Is it someone whose name has been mentioned so far, or is there someone I don't know yet....)

"Dick, if I do, I'll just drop you and Cody. Sphere can handle the banning, so I'll ask her to do a little 'sabotage' from above. Yuma, will you go out with me?

"Yes, with pleasure. From that castle, I can feel so many waves of purifying souls. Dead spirits with no will are still participating in the battle as soldiers in the demon kingdom... ahh... I can't believe you can purify so much filth with your hands..."

"Father, Miralka's mother and Euphire's mother are at your disposal. Dad and I are always connected, so call me if you need anything."

"Oh, please. I have a trusted daughter and a companion... and I think I'll make one."

"Dick, what do we do? Let's hide who we really are."

The fact that Albain's Knights and ex-Demonic King Crusaders rescued the crisis in other countries should not be so widespread.

As always, the ideal is to bring the people of Ratchrist back to peace sometime. The people of the most lit village are known to have seen the 'masked saviour'.

That's what I can't help it.

"All right... Banning, let's go. Mermaire! Black Dragon, let me descend to the other side of the village! From both directions, rescue may not be in time!

"Of course, Dick... good luck to all of you...!

Let Sphere hold onto the banning rope and I'll be ready to activate my magic. And with Cody, he jumped off before the surface could get close.

"Dad, be careful...!

"Ah, let's meet later! Cody, let's go!

"Got it....!

Before the ground approached, I chose a means of interfering with the spirit of the wind, generating an ascending airflow and slowing it down. It feels like stepping on a resilient floor - as soon as I get to the ground, I rush towards the village in front of me.

"Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The kingdom of demons is the kingdom of demons and monsters. Humanoid species such as Dark Elves are in command, but the monkey's unusually large monster was trying to axe down a solution to surround the village near the forest.

Full-body musculoskeletal, with metallic shine on the skin. What extends from the forehead is three horns - not a monkey, but a demonic monkey (Devil Ape).

(I saw that I would struggle with Rank A, but I wonder if I could defeat even one person with Rank S... if there is such a monster, I need to change the perception that Ratchris is weaker than Elsein...)

The demon monkeys are rushing toward us - we can see that the eyes without black eyes, the eyes with white eyes are red and bloody, and only the attacks are on our heads.

"Dick, come on!

"Ah... Cody, take charge of 'Hot'! I'm coming after you!

"Fever... okay!

We understand each other's breathing well because we've been practicing swords for a long time.

I will cover and strengthen the unnamed sword with magic. Cody summoned the Light Sword and staggered with the Demon Monkey while simultaneously performing his moves.

― ― Light Sword Light Blade Light Thermal Wave Heat Tray ―

"Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cody avoids slipping through the fist of the demon monkey, and the light sword instantly changes the length of the blade and slashes the giant body from the left shoulder to the bottom right.

(After all, my skin is quite hard... metallic. If it's metal, heat it up and cool it sharply...!

--Magic Sword/Snow Blade (Blizzard Edge) ---

Mizuha's magic is imitated, and the magic is transformed into extremely cold air. And as he slashed the violent demon monkey, he ran through.

The sound of metal cracking and rupturing sounds, and the demonic monkey sprays blood and falls to the front. I think there is no mercy, but there is no hesitation. Even a magical sword can be cut, but if you are more sure to cooperate, I will choose you.

However, some fences have already been destroyed. We broke into the village from where it was destroyed and broke up there. Rapidly to where I'm on fire, where I can use the Spirit of Water magic, Cody goes to defeat the people who are attacking the village.

"No, give me back my mother!

"The king of this country has changed a long time ago. There's no point in the law anymore. You and your mother are saying that if you're a good boy, I'll make you feel good. You know what I'm talking about?

"Who said anything about you... our king hasn't changed!

"Ugh! I can't admit it, but you're telling me it's true!

A soldier of the Blue Skin Demon tribe is putting a stunned woman on a horse and trying to grab her. The soldier shook his arm to the daughter who tried to chase him.

― ― Transition instantaneous speed (warp boost) shrinkage (zero distance) ―

"Ah?"

Grab the enemy's fist and stop it. And I crushed the bones with all my strength.

"Ugaaa... aaaah...!

Twist the other arm of the furious enemy behind you. If you don't mind pretending, you'll be able to kick the back, but the enemy fighters realized the difference in strength and didn't burst into flames.

"... let me ask you one question. Why are you attacking this village? Isn't it strange that the Ratochris army is attacking the city?"

"Here, this town... was given to General Shade on the east side... for attempting to aid the rebellion against the new king..."

So you're going to destroy the town and set it on fire? If you were going to show off, would you rather taste the position?

"Fu, don't be ridiculous... someone's coming, here's a traitor... uhh!

As he tried to escape without pretending, he struck his neck from behind and fainted. I thought about lowering the horse with the dark purple fur characteristic of the Demon Nation - the woman who was on it, but I dared to use this horse.

"Gyah... I'm not delicious even if I eat it..."

It was Dark Elf's mother and child who were being attacked. When I hold my daughter, I ride with her on a horse that was used by enemy soldiers. The horse tried to defy him at first, but when he used the magic of 'calming light (calm light)' to calm him down, he became calm.

Instead of leaving my daughters alone, I'd rather keep them on horses and protect them with a "Wall Cage."

"I may look suspicious, but I'm not your enemy. Everyone who attacked the village will be knocked out. Keep your eyes closed for a while."

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

First, run around the village to eliminate those who target women and children with the fires of the present day. Cody and Mermaire are on the move, so I'm sure they'll never make it.

Smoke is rising from some of the houses in the village where the flares were fired, but not as burning as I thought because the residents are using magic to extinguish the fires - quite brave to resist the National Army, but it seems quite heavy to defeat a mix of soldiers and monsters on their own.

There are many houses where the digestive hand is not turning, so with the help of the water spirits, it can rain water like rain on a wide range - magic that brings water shortage relief in times of rain (Rainscoll), drought, etc., but this is the first time I have used it to extinguish fires.

"Even though the fire is on fire, I can't believe I can call a water spirit... wow..."

Dark Elf's daughter shouts in surprise. By using the magic of Spirit Sensation (Elemental Sense), you can also borrow some of the power of the weakened Spirit. I think that Dark Elves have the qualities of Spirit Magic, but they may not have mastered it because they are young yet - but they may be older than me because they are a long-lived species.

(My balls are blemished because they get wet with rain. Water cannons (water guns) can destroy houses....)

Extinguish fires, apply enhanced magic to villagers who are at war with enemies to temporarily assist them, or wield a magic sword to fly slash and destroy them with my hands.

Since Mermaire was riding the Black Dragon, I thought that the enemy might have a dragon cavalry, but this village has not been sent to it - instead, it is nostalgic, but the color difference of the Wyburn I took care of in the past - the kind of Winged Dragon with peach skin is attacking the villagers who are out there, or is swinging around in the air.

It is Cody's Light Sword that relentlessly ejects it. While watching, there were fewer enemies in the sky, and on the other side of the village, a monkey with a giant body was floating in the air, taking a series of shots and rising further up-and finally, Eileen, who had become a monkey, was wrapped in red magic and kicked up while flipping her jaw. If you receive the "Rakusha Moon Surface Kick" at your chin, your consciousness will be cut without hesitation.

Mermaire, riding on the Black Dragon, is also attacking his enemies from above with the magic of lightning strikes. I didn't think Verlaine was there, and I saw the "unfilled" taking a breath of the demonic monkey that had been shot up - it's good to be on my side, but the power of the inherent Summon Monkey is incredible.

"Uaahh, two, it's too strong...!

"Run away, retreat, or you'll be wiped out like this...!

"Who allowed you to retreat! I can't go back without crushing a village like this...!

Villagers are not the only ones at war. The enemy commanders ignore the orders and begin to flee without even realizing it.

"--Two 'Mixed Beasts' destroyed! Captain, the soldiers are under intense resistance and have already halved their strength... hah!

"I lost two of them... I wonder if those monsters could be so easy! In this case, the face that matches the general....."

"You don't have to think about that. If you're a noisy commander, rest now."

"Nh...!?

A superior knocked down a man who had visited the report in the village square with a spear stick from the horse- I saw it, and I accelerated the horse and ran through, flashing my sword at a man called the captain.

"Nh, what... hah, it's just a false gesture... uhhhh!

The captain who tried to mount the spear did not realize that his stuff was no longer useable. From the tip of the spear, it is cut into pieces in inches, and falls apart on the ground.

"I have a lot to ask, but I dare to ask one thing. Are you no longer willing to obey the original king?

"Hmm, what are you talking about... you... oh, really, a mercenary hired by Shade...!

"The only people who can hire me are those who think I can be hired. We must not allow the people of Ratchrist to be attacked. Wouldn't it have been more peaceful if the original king had ruled this country?

"The original king... is stupid. All royalties are confined to the royal castle. They will never be released from prison until the day of execution. The king of this country has changed. Get Velvechia and use it as a stepping stone to destroy all human nations hostile to the Devil! The flow will never stop!

(You're brainwashing me... no. Albain and Elsein were indeed hostile once. Someone has followed it and tried to take this country… Leon, Lugard. Are you sure these two are the only ones who did this?

Destroy the human kingdom hostile to the Devil - it doesn't seem to fit Leon and Lugard's mind.

They tried to hold Ratchris in their hands to satisfy their desires. Someone has teamed up with them or tried to use them.

― ― If you can think about it, someone who had a great influence on the Lattice National Army from the beginning. General Glasgow is the first candidate to avoid engaging Leon and the others.

"Why did General Glasgow betray the King?

"Nh...!?

Speak assertively about matters that have not yet been finalized. Regardless of the guesswork, enemy soldiers' reactions are a source of insight into the situation.

The attempt represents the intended effect - in a cornered situation, there's no way to say I'm guessing.

"Here, this Ratchrist... has the power to conquer the continent. A king like General Glasgow is more worthy of a king than a king who rots without trying to use it! Both Velvechia and Albain said the General would bow down! Anything contrary to that will should be solemnized!

Lattice once split up with the people of Elsein and arrived in the land in search of a place to grow a nation.

And then for a long time, we didn't invade our neighbors - there were people who didn't like the situation. The man took power to move the army and wanted to become the ruler himself.

"... if people wanted to fight, not really. They wanted to strengthen their power, but didn't they just raise such a cause? If we start fighting our neighbors, many of you soldiers will lose your lives. I don't think that's a necessary sacrifice."

"Gu... what you know... humans have always looked down on the demons because of their skin colour and shape, and regarded them as inferior. Even against Wesen... humans aren't superior, they've persecuted us because if we admit our power, we'll be ruled...!

"Not everyone says so. Humans are about to change... the idea of incompatibility with demons is heading towards abandonment in my country. Albain and Elsein have developed a ceasefire agreement into an alliance."

"Nh... uhh, that's a lie! The Albains took on what they called the 'Warriors' and attacked Elsein... there's no way to forge an alliance!

Leon and Lugard were probably thinking about getting Velvechia and slowly Albain into their hands.

To that end, he joined hands with General Glasgow and tried to use the Demon King Crusaders as a reason to fight against the land of men. They rumored that they were the 'invaders of the demonic kingdom' who fought against Verlaine.

Leon and Lugard tried to get in on the fact that there was no national communication between Albain and Lattice. The plan has succeeded so far - but I don't think we can flip the board.

Because it is an indisputable fact that Albain made an alliance with Elsein. Fight General Glasgow, the arrogant king who controls Ratchrist, and the Latchrist National Army will stop moving.

"It's a grand tour to ask questions here. Thank you for everything you've said. As a soldier, I don't think it's a compliment."

"Nh... come, you... hah!

He tried to use some kind of magic, but before it took shape, the man was struck by lightning from above and fell off the horse. The soldiers who rushed there, looking at us in a frightened eye, tried to escape with their stunned superiors.

"Ta, Captain, do you want to retreat... ah, ah...!?

It was Mermaire on the Black Dragon who fired the lightning strike. Together with his companion, Verlaine looks at the enemy soldiers as if they were shooting through.

"... you said you would execute the royal family. Did you hate our royal people so much...?

"Wow, we're just following orders from our superiors..."

"I can't help asking a soldier such a question. But attacking this village and hurting the villagers... trying to expose the powerless women and children is no defense. Let me give you one recommendation. Come down to us, and swear to fight for the people from now on. Otherwise, disappear from the earth without a single soul and replace it with atonement."

"Nh... no, only life... really, really didn't know anything! Princess Mermaire has just been abandoned... forgive me, forgive me...!

Soldiers sat on the spot and lay flat. I've already lost my will to resist completely.

The enemy tried to take advantage of Mermaire's failure to capture him. She was spreading the story that she had abandoned her country and escaped.

Verlaine's anger seemed to subside - but there was no point in killing all the soldiers here. They were also deceived.

Jumping gently from the Black Dragon, Verlaine glanced at the underlying enemy soldiers and shouted.

"What are you doing... in front of Princess Mermaire? Drop your weapons and get out of the village! Arrange and wait. Running away won't stop you, just be prepared to fight us again."

Verlaine behaves as if she were Mermaire's chamberlain and advises her enemies to surrender. The soldiers who had lost their commander could not resist being intimidated by the former Demon King, and faithfully followed her orders and ran out of the village.

The fires that exited all over the village also stopped, and the people who stood still came out in fear - eventually they noticed Mermaire riding a black dragon over the square.

Mermaire will see what to do, so I will just nod back. If she were a princess, I wouldn't be able to do it.

"--Listen up, everyone! I am Melmea-Latochris, Princess of the Devil Kingdom of Lattice! Those who have taken this country are attacking our neighbors and spreading the fire… I cannot allow it! I need your help to restore peace to this country!

A speech by a princess who suddenly appeared - some villagers looked suspiciously at it.

"We don't want to fight! If you were a princess, why didn't you do anything until this happened?

"Yes, don't get us involved! Soldiers are not just splitting the country in two and doing whatever they want!

People's voices of blame - the anger of the National Army attacking the village that was supposed to protect them, they don't know where to turn, and they spit their emotions on Mermaire in front of them.

Verlaine tries to move without watching. If she were Elsein's ancestor, the villagers might understand why Mermaire had left the country and why she had just returned.

- But before Verlaine makes her voice heard, My daughter, Dark Elf, who hasn't said a word since she got on my horse, complained with a loud voice that echoed across the square.

"This masked man helped me and my mother! You destroyed a lot of soldiers and put out the fire in the village! Together with the princess, these people... so don't say anything worse...!

The voice of the girl silences the villagers. After the accusations were silent, I looked north at the materials to reassure them and realized that there was something - a hidden state on the National Army castle, invisible to ordinary people, but with banning. Miralka is using faction magic to set it up from the air.

I invited Verlaine and whispered it to her.

"... I see. After all, Miralka and the others rarely do anything like that."

Verlaine, who felt so nervous when touched, relieved her expression. When I saw it, I was relieved to be honest at a time like this.

"It's not like Verlaine to have such a strong face. I think a face like this would be much better."

"Nh, muu... even if you say it at this time, you can't give me a nice reply. Don't look too scared, that's what I'm saying."

After coughing, Verlaine pointed north of the village and said.

"Everybody, look at that castle over there! We are not asking the villagers to make sacrifices and fight together! Leave it to Princess Mermaire and The Masked Savior, and this country will be restored! No stronger castle is our enemy!

Miralka's massive magical formation can also be seen from here - and the top floor of the castle collapses like sand and flows into the wind.

"Oh, oh...! The National Army castle that attacked the village is collapsing...!

"How could I do such a thing... Her Royal Highness Princess Mermaire bring me such a wise man!?

"Did the 'Knight of the Mask' over there do something incredible to get rid of his enemies...?

"I saw it too! You're so powerful that you can rush through and tear apart enemy weapons!

"The man in the mask helped me too!

"Me too! Guys, the princess brought me here!

Everyone who was moving to help the village was well watched by the villagers. There is no doubt that the princess brought us here, so if you can just tell her that, she can be trusted at once.

"... ah, um... I did something on my own..."

Dark Elf's daughter asks me how I am. I stroke his head, smile and answer - it's a delicate thing to see his face over the mask.

"No, thank you for your courage. We'll make sure you live your original lives as soon as possible. Could you hold on a second?"

"... yes... thank you..."

I was so impressed and my voice trembled - I guess I was so nervous.

The girl's mother continued to apply healing magic while she was in battle, so she recovered consciousness safely. The two go back to the house, which was hardly damaged. I intend to move so that this village can no longer be attacked, so there is no problem for the villagers to return to their homes.

Looking at the castle, which was partially destroyed by Miralka's magic, the sky was now brighter. Yuma is relieving the spirit of the dead, or several lights are being sucked into the sky - hopefully that won't help and the enemy will retreat.

Miralka and the others seem to be doing better. Destroy only the castle's command room and retreat. We have to deal with the reinforcements coming from the west. What do we do?

"Oh, I'll talk to Miralka about that. Melmer, tell Master to rendezvous with the villagers when they have finished their treatment."

"Yes, of course. Please be careful."

"Together with Lord Cody, I will monitor the enemy soldiers who have been sent out of the village. If possible, I wish I could join General Shade and his men."

"Keep moving in that direction. We need to get in touch with General Shade... we've got a lot to do."

When I ran the horse to the north gate of the village, Eileen waited there. She is using her might to restore a fence that seems to have been defeated by a demon monkey.

"Hey. It's first aid now, so please fix it later."

"Ha, ha... thank you, masked oneesan!

"Ahahah... don't you want to see a convenience store like that? Oh, Dick!

Irene, who had been thanked by a young man in the village, noticed me and rushed over. When she pulled her arm out and pulled it up, she jumped lightly in front of me - and she fell straight in front of me.

"Why don't you just take the back ride... well..."

"Well, that's fine, either way. Still, I'm glad things are going well. I'm getting hungry after one stop."

"That's right... if you calm down your hips, I'll eat you up for a while. I can't fight if I'm hungry. But it's unusual for Irene to be called your sister."

"Hey, what were you listening to? Me, too, because other people are looking at me like an adult. Don't ever think of it as childish."

Even though the battle is just over, Eileen is doing fine - something very reassuring.

But if you say that, it's going to make more fun of me, so I'll keep quiet for now. Irene followed me with her elbows because she was uncomfortable with what I didn't say, but even that kind of flirtation relieved me that I was going to get rough in the battle.
