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

In the Kingdom of Albain, prisons are man-made structures. Something called a dungeon can only be as deep as the second basement.

However, in the demon kingdom, natural caves are used to build prisons, so the deeper the original cave, the more hierarchical it becomes.

(General Ginada, can you tell us what this prison is used for?)

When I first met General Ginada smiled while stroking the white hair on one eye, saying that he seemed older than me.

"I appreciate your concern, Mr. Duke, but please don't use respectful language on me. Speaking of Sphere's father, for me, I hope you'll do me the courtesy..."

(I see... no, they often say that. I don't have much to fear, because I'm not in such a great position or anything. Well, I'll let you sweeten your words, but... no, I'll take them.)

Correcting the tone, General Ginada smiled joyfully. However, I saw a wound that had been struck by a whip that had not yet been healed by the clap of my arms raised, so I activated "Healing Light (Recover Light)" without chanting to heal it.

"When I get to safety, I'll cure it with Rim's mother. Then it will be beautiful again."

"Thank you, Sphere. Because the wounds are a warrior's pride... I told myself so, but I'm so glad to have you cured."

"My father is good at healing magic. I'm really the best in our country, but I don't want to do that because I'm not a specialist."

(I don't think I'm willing to do it, or I don't think I can reach Master yet....)

"If you think that you are at the highest level, you cannot climb any higher. Mr. Duke has the soul of an endless candidate. As long as I want to be an apprentice."

When I was seen with admirable eyes, I scratched my cheeks, and I couldn't hide them because I didn't have any substance, I just saw the two laughing at each other with pleasure.

As I was walking while talking, I came up to the next floor near the stairs. Sentinel is unconscious and has the magic of "deep sleep", so there is nothing to worry about until we escape.

(Sphere, you did well. I'm sorry, let me do this alone.)

"Yeah, Dad's daughter has to be able to do this. Cody, she knew how to sneak around and beat the bad guys."

While in the position of a Knight Commander, Cody may dive into enemy territory alone and destroy criminal organizations and others if necessary.

When I was infiltrated into the Purple Scorpion Pavilion, I came back in perfect form to serve my purpose. Eileen and Sakuya can count on it, but Cody is terribly capable of conducting operations - she's a Knight Commander, and she's an 'SSS-Ranked Adventurer'.

"Speir-chan's mother has such strength... the world is still wide. How many fierce men on this continent are beyond my reach....."

General Ginada chews his lips as he embraces his body.

I was looking for an opportunity, but I guess I'll have to say it now. We are human beings from Albain, just like those who took the throne of this country.

"If it is Leon and Lugard who have attacked this country... they are the adventurers of the Kingdom of Albain. We came from the same Albain to stop them."

Having earned her credibility, she was able to identify herself so that General Ginada would not think that Albain's people were enemies - her eyes were only faintly open, but she was not suspicious for a moment.

"... they must have been Albain's adventurers... Glasgow responded to them when they appeared in the royal castle by stirring up the guards who would have defended His Majesty. One man was called the" Lugard "... and the other man..."

General Ginada tries to eat his teeth. I knew it was a terrible thing to remember exactly when the country was taken - but I have to ask.

(... the other guy is Leon. Both are SS ranked adventurers in the standards of the Kingdom of Albain Alliance)

"That criterion has been passed on to our country. The Adventurer Strength Measurer, a magical tool made in Albain, is very useful in recruiting talent. Strength is not all, but military personnel are too weak to perform their duties."

Since "measuring instruments" are traded at a high price, they are said to have been taken out of the country in secret. It has been officially transferred to Elsein, but it has also been in exile for a long time in Velvechia and Lattice, which is why we found that the demon king of Lattice is S-rank.

It was probably Master who made the prototype of the measuring instrument, although I didn't say it clearly. Since it is a magical instrument based on the "Artifact of the Stars (Stella Fact)", there is only one master who can make it - or is it a living Deane or a floating island people?

"Mr. Duke... let me ask you a question with shame. How strong is my strength in your eyes? Compared to Leon and Lugard....."

(The current General Ginada still drains a lot of magic. And I didn't mean it. If you subtract that, it will be difficult to engage Leon and Lugard properly.)

I've seen a lot of adventurers, and I can see how strong they are.

She is considered to have the highest strength in this country. If the King of Ratochris is S-ranked according to the information, he will fall into the same category even though there is a wide range of S-ranks.

(Gen. Ginada, to be honest, has a completely different strength than General Shade. But this is how you're caught, even if you're so strong... If you didn't fight Leon and Lugard directly, who did you fight? General Glasgow didn't fight Leon and Lugard....)

"... General Glasgow ordered the guards to abduct the royals, and then laid an ambush against my troops who had come out to intercept the intruders. And... my men who still believed Glass Goal was on our side..."

She has always been generous - but enduring torture and hopelessness were all for one purpose.

Glasgow attacked General Ginada's men. It's also an outrageous means of making you think you're on your side and then deceiving you.

"... I won't forgive you... I will never... take vengeance on these children..."

What did General Ginada think of his men? What the word hate means is that there are people who have lost their lives.

Lost lives don't come back. I can revive the extinguished lights again, but I don't know how to revive them.

I had that carelessness when I lost Diane. The desire to resurrect the dead is nothing more than an act of striving against God.

I can't find the words - but I saw General Ginada swallowing his nails into his right arm and putting his strength into the bleeding, and Sphere was moving.

"I know what it's like to be sorry. Neither I nor anyone else will leave behind those who have done terrible things. So....."

(Though it is painful, please don't blame yourself. Now there should be more to do than to stop and regret)

When Sphere touches General Ginada's hand, the power in his hand eases. From her eyes, which were once again hidden in her white hair, a few tears fell from her muscles.

"... all I have to do is reward those who die loyal to this country... and help them survive."

(If that's your answer, we'll cooperate fully. It's going to take a little time to get to the ground, but there are plenty of ways. General Ginada must safely enter Rugenta Castle and take on the role of supporting Princess Mermaire)

When he wiped his tears, General Ginada simply nodded back. Sphere grabs her hand, which is bloody cold, and makes her warm.

"Please cheer up. Save your loved ones and get out... and your mother Verlaine and your sister Mermaire will be waiting for you."

"... I must first apologize to Her Royal Highness Princess Mermaire. Failure to protect His Majesty Lassius and the Queen's... Unaware of Glasgow's true intentions, I removed my men from the protection of the Separate House where the Queen lived. How painful it has been for His Highness Melmer to this day...."

"Melmer's sister didn't blame Ginada. When you get back, please say thank you more than I'm sorry. I'm much happier about that."

I agree with Sphere. National Army soldiers on Glasgow initially accused Mermaire of abandoning the country - she would be more than happy if General Zinaida told her that he believed in Mermaire.

"Thank you, Sphere. Besides, Mr. Duke... regretting the sin of not being able to protect what he was supposed to protect is not enough to move forward... even if not too powerful, I think only of what I can do as a Lattice soldier. Please forgive me for that."

A woman with a heart of steel who listens to the opportunity without giving up even if she is tortured - but she must not have felt any pain at all.

General Ginada was hopeful that we had metastasized through the spiritual veins. I think it was good to choose the means of "spiritual pulse transfer" by Sphere's abilities.

"Dad says there's nothing to forgive. I'm going to get everything back, and I'm not going to get punished."

Still, General Ginada will blame himself for the military's cowardice. But nobody could have prevented the rebellion if the Four Generals, who are the strongest players in this country, could not reach Glasgow.

But I respect everyone who, regardless of their strength, tries to do their job. The stronger you are, the more you can do, but it doesn't mean you don't want to protect someone unless you're strong.

Someone who can protect you, we're here.

"... you've come here with Verlaine, Sphere... and you've got a lot of power, too. But those who work upstairs have more power than the warden."

(In any case, fighting is unlikely to be avoided beyond the need to release the prisoners. Depending on the source of the opponent... what kind of demons are the guards upstairs?

"A race feeding on the blood of others... 'Nosferus'. Sphere, be careful not to take blood from me. She has the power to mediate blood and manipulate others. My men are probably being manipulated."

Spirits, Spirits, can be evaded by spiritualizing before blood is taken from them. But not hurting my daughter--that's bullshit.

However, I didn't expect "Nosferus" to emerge at this stage. It is a species that Mermaire has taught us is believed to be involved in Lugard gaining extraterrestrial abilities.

"If my men are going to attack. At that time...."

"Dad is a person who doesn't give up when that happens. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Sphere knows exactly what I'm going to do without saying anything. However, there are limits to reassuring people with words alone, so we can only show them in action that it is not just the mouth.

"... in any way... the Blood Promise is like a curse that lasts as long as there is life. If it's tied to a vow, there's no way to let it go."

(There is nothing that cannot be undone by the 'curse'. That's what I think... General Ginada, what's the next basement floor?

"Five floors above the basement... it's supposed to hold political prisoners and felons."

There is much carelessness in the soldiers who were put in such a place. General Ginada puts his fingers together to create a magical thread in between - the spinned thread stretches upstairs.

"... after all, the thread is blocked in the central hall where you must pass. It could be something."

(Enough searching for enemies as far as possible. Sphere, use 'Hidden' to proceed)

(Yeah, Dad. Don't you have to be "transparent"?

(I see... I've never used it on anyone before. Be careful)

I've just mastered Transparency, but just thinking about how to control magic, Sphere reproduced it accurately. Not only Sphere, but also General Ginada's appearance becomes light transmitting, and even the shadow at his feet is corrected to be invisible.

"Wow... this magic. Albain's magic skills are so developed....."

(Sphere's abilities are diverse, so if you're surprised, you won't be surprised. Think of my daughter as a dexterity)

"Yeah, yeah. In that ability... no. I should just try not to pull your legs."

Sphere carefully climbed the stairs, embarrassed by the impressive signs of General Ginada.

The corridors stacked with stone walls and stone floors are lit in pale green with light moss liquefied and bottled as a light source. But if it's dark and locked up like this for a long time, it's going to be hard to stay sane unless you're a species used to the darkness.

The cells on the left and right were closed with bars - General Ginada had finished detecting the creatures with magical threads, and he knew beforehand that there were prisoners in the cells.

(Among them... are the spiritual tribes of the earth (Draunus)...)

As General Ginada was about to say, I understand that even among the possibilities that I had anticipated, it has led to the development of a bad category.

The next moment, Gashan and his deaf ears made a noise, and the prisoners who were in the line of cells stuck to the iron lattice. There are signs of General Ginada breathing when he sees it.

(After all... my men have already...)

(It was assumed. They don't notice us... but...)

The captives stuck in jail point their vain eyes at the passageway - it looks like they're looking at us, but this is just provocation.

Someone is aware that General Zinaida has escaped. The prison guards on these five levels don't want us out of here, and they're probably bad hobbies.

Pathologically thin, pale skin, dimpled eyes sparkling like beasts. Did you sip the blood of the rat who lived in prison? There was blood dripping from his mouth.

(Cassius, Letty, Jumina... we should be able to subordinate ourselves without having to take away our reason so far. Why are you doing this to my compatriots...?)

(General Ginada, this is a provocation. You leave it to your anger to lose sight of the front and rear... calm down and keep an ordinary mind. If you do what you have to do, you will always go in the right direction.)

As well as words, I use magic through Sphere - "Light of Peace (Mind Cure)". General Ginada's heartbeat calmed down and the tension that had stretched his entire body was relieved.

(... it's settled down. Well, can you do me a favor?)

(Yeah... okay. I'm sorry for the disturbance.)

(Ginada, it's okay. These people haven't done anything yet.... I'll definitely help you later)

I don't want Sphere to see it, but she wasn't afraid - she wasn't afraid of the prisoners, she was angry with those who made them do it.

(Using the feelings of people who like Ginada, twist it... never do this. Dad, I have to help these people.)

I may be called a pro fool, but I can have such a courageous daughter, and nothing but pride.

Through the corridors lined with iron bars on both sides, there was a large room for accommodating prisoners to work - a wooden pile was thrown around the pillar, and the prisoner with the shackles of a metal ball on his feet pushed it and kept turning the pillar.

There is a girl looking at the sight. A red carpet was laid over the large room, and a chair was placed on it to escort several male and female prisoners, and she looked at us with her cheek cane on. Holding a cup of bone in one hand and drinking something filled in it.

"... sneak away and hide. Ginada, I can't believe you were such a coward."

A girl as old as Yuma in a black dress with red eyes on silver hair - the words coming out of her mouth were spicy and poisonous to her appearance.

We were able to completely hide the signs from the other prisoners. I don't think I'll be able to see the "secret" from my inferior opponent either - it's not that Sphere's magic is awkward.

(You know, the red eyes... they're trying to figure us out differently.)

(Dad, what do we do...?

(If they didn't notice, there was another way, but I switched plans. It's okay, don't worry)

Sphere solves "secrecy" and "invisibility" - the fight against the enemy has already begun.

When we showed up, the prisoners showed a little interest, but they didn't stop spinning the pillars because they were afraid of the girl sitting in that chair. The girl's captives don't seem to be moving.

"A lot of big rats have entered... even though Glasgow-sama told me I could play in this jail. Can you leave me alone?

"... why did you give it to Glass Goal and participate in the betrayal? Since when did you know about Glass Goal's scheme...?

"It's been decided since you were held by the Four Generals. Thank God, if Glasgow hadn't given you his warmth, you'd be feeding on an auger or a troll by now."

"Anyway, it would have been if I'd stayed down here. But she came."

The girl sitting in the chair lifts her mouth and laughs - an obvious hobby to look at, but apparently her sexual roots have twisted quite a bit.

"I can't believe I'm finally corrupt enough to rely on a child... to throw up later on where I invited him in. Ginada, I need you to get out of jail. Even though you're an incompetent subordinate, you knocked out everyone downstairs... and left me to tease you, but my plan went crazy."

"... Glasgow gave me instructions to execute me because I no longer need to live. I mean... His Majesty the King has taught me what Glasgow wants..."

"Don't rush, Ginada. Glasgow-sama said I could execute you... just by defeating the guards down there, the punishment for you is not over. The execution will begin at my hands."

A pussy and a girl snipped their fingers - and tilted the cup and drank the contents.

---The red one is passed on to the mouth. She was pouring blood into the glass and drinking it.

"Demonstrate the magic of Reaper against enemies, and compassionate and beautiful women generals against allies. You can't kill your own men and move on... can you? Ginada Leña."

"... Sharon, you're buying me. There's no such thing as mercy... if I can free my men, I'm not going to choose a way. No matter what it was."

The prisoners who were spinning the pillars, the ones who were trapped in the iron lattice - everyone on this hierarchy - gathered toward this room.

Those who lost their breath are now looking for our blood to shine their eyes, and they are roaring beastly. When I saw it, General Ginada never lost his coolness again.

"... I believe you, Sphere. I have to get out of here and tell him something."

"Yes, count on me. I am the daughter of my father and mother, so whoever does something terrible will definitely be punished!

"It's not a kid's play... how long can you laugh with that lovely face?"

Sharon, the girl from Nosferus, is convinced of her victory. That's because I don't think Sphere is a threat if we seal off even General Ginada.

I didn't appreciate Sphere's ability to defeat the guards. And by the time we got here, I didn't think we were ready for anything - even more.

How effective is the power of the Silent Soul Remover inherited by my daughter against opponents like Sharon? It wasn't even a battle, it was just "punishment," as Sphere put it.
