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

Chapter 119

Before Sharon woke up, it was temporary so she wouldn't bite her tongue, but she needed to bite the monkey. While tied to her chair by General Ginada's thread, she regains consciousness for a while.

…………

He might even try to tear off the threads by force - as he had envisaged - but Sharon accepted the situation without stretching his body.

"Sharon, you don't have to listen to anybody else's orders anymore. It should be completely liberated."

"....."

That's what Ginada told me, Sharon opens her eyes. There is no doubt that the power of Sphere has freed Sharon from the curse - it is easy to ascertain.

"The one who told Sharon… Lugard was an adventurer in the Kingdom of Albain. You know that name."

As soon as Sphere spoke Lugard's name, Sharon looked afraid of something. Like before, she was suffering when she tried to resist the curse that was holding her back.

"I washed away the power of black blood that tied Sharon. You don't have to suffer anymore."

…………

Sharon has incredible eyes and doesn't know what he's talking about. That's because he was ready to die when he defeated us.

"If you promise not to bite my tongue, I'll loosen you up."

General Ginada speaks in a calm tone, unlike before. Sharon leaned down, but showed no intention of rebellion.

Some of the General's men have regained consciousness and are being treated by other soldiers who are still unconscious. Three of them, who were captains of platoons, were particularly weak - they must have been treated more harshly than the others.

"... Sharon has not joined the rebellion by his own will. If so, make it clear."

"... I... took Glasgow-sama's life... and gave my blood to a man named Lugard. Glasgow-sama used two exotic people more than me..."

Zhu stuck on Sharon's bluish cheek, and tears flowed.

I had no doubt whether I was lying or not. Once purified by Sphere's power, evil spirits can quickly be seen.

"Tell me why you're going to execute me now. Didn't you keep him alive to scrape up the wars of those who swear allegiance to the royal family...?

"... that man is returning to Ratchrist. Mr. Glasgow has received word from" those two "that Ginada... is offering your blood to Lugard. If your blood is mixed with that of the High Demon Clan, the Lugard will be even stronger... because it's completely 'no longer human'."

If the rescue had been delayed, Ginada would have been in Lugard's hands. Imagine that, she tries to embrace herself - but she doesn't show fear in her face.

"... what are you going to do with that rugged thing? With his past strength, Glass Goal will be out of control....."

"Ginada... you don't know the power of Glasgow. His race is a rare lineage among the demons... and, by nature, a race qualified to be king of Ratchrist."

― ― King of Ratchrist, said to have the strength of S-rank. When I first heard that story, I thought that the strength of the person who could be the ruler varied from country to country, and that the battle rating was not necessarily a king's qualification.

And at the same time, I thought the possibilities weren't zero. It is possible that the demons who are stronger than the current demon king still do not appear in the country, or dare to be under the king's command.

SSS-ranked adventurers were told whether they would appear once in a thousand years or not until we volunteered for the Demon King Crusaders. However, in the history of the Kingdom of Albain, there was no "no one" period for those with the power of SS rank, and it was believed that there were dozens of people searching across the continent.

(Glass Goal was one of them...)

Does Glasgow's motivation mean that he tried to gain control of the country because he was the strongest in the demonic kingdom of Lattice?

"Mr. Sharon... is General Glasgow's goal to be king of this country?

"... in the end, that's all it looks like. I'm trying to expand Ratchrist's prints... but I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind, who should have been more loyal than anyone who has been working as the heart of His Majesty the King for so long... I don't suppose I have any way of knowing what I used as a token."

There are limits to what Sharon knows. She was subordinate to Lugard and guarded this prison - only part of the information she was given about outside movements.

(... I still don't see the core of Glasgow's motive for the rebellion. I am certain that the enemy has decided to execute King Rasius, and it will be stopped.)

I've been just talking to Sphere and Ginada, and I've made sure Sharon can hear you. Sharon opens her red eyes when she hears a voice she has never heard before.

"... no way... it wasn't two, it was three?

(My name is Duke. This child's guardian... is his father. That's fine, Sharon will follow us from now on. Once we have a contract, we will be able to follow your trends... at least until we finish our activities in this country and return home.)

Sharon distorts the edge of his mouth - what is he saying that's stupid?

"I'm not going to sign a contract with the High Demons either... Unless you're a demon king."

"... um... Well, it's not this country, it's Elsein's country, but I'm the daughter of Verlaine's mother, who was originally a demon king. So I think I can do the contract."

"Val... Lane... I can't believe... that the Sovereign Demon King had a daughter... a princess..."

In Ratochris, Julius is still unknown to have taken office. But there are nicknames such as "The Supreme Demon King" - certainly Verlaine's power does not attract any other demons at all, so it's no wonder or anything.

Praising Verlaine makes me uncomfortable for some reason. Sphere seems to be delighted when my thoughts are conveyed.

(Princess Mermaire has asked Elsein for help. Whatever happened, Verlaine responded to Mermaire's request and decided to cooperate)

I'm sure you wonder why Verlaine and I are so close, but Sharon didn't say anything. You're going to accept 'that's the way it is' - the quicker you swallow, the better.

(Sharon, let me hear it again. Do you want to restore the demonic kingdom of Ratchrist?

"Originally... there's no way I can do that. General Glasgow... no, neither of you will win."

"No, I win. If we work together, we can definitely win."

When Sphere runs out, Sharon looks like he's been confronted - he didn't think it would be easy to say back.

(In order to win, I want to eliminate the sadness of patronage. For those who are on the Glasgow side due to circumstances, don't fight as much as possible... but the hard part is the Glasgow army on the central plains. I am controlling it, but it is not strange to bump into an army led by Mermaire at any time.)

"For that... you want me to help you? Do you really think I deserve a chance...?

"Yes, there is. When I say I have a father, I do."

"Eh... you guys... come with Master Verlaine and make this country real..."

(Saving is exaggerated, but it helps. That's what Verlaine wants.)

(Tell me that. Dad, the truth is...)

Hidden in the shadows, he pushes the country back so that it can walk the way it was. I'm not going to spare you the "help" you need to do that.

"... that's similar to what the world calls' help '."

Ginada didn't say the irony - the voice was calm and gentle. But I pretend not to notice.

"Let go of Ratochris and entrust the rest to Princess Mermaire... So, what's in it for you strangers?

(It is profitable. I don't care what happens when Velvekia, captured by Glasgow's army, attacks Albain. We live in Albain, too.)

Sharon's eyes shaken - but she never questioned again. Just lean down, relax your body, and show that you are not willing to resist.

Sphere nods back when he sees General Ginada. Sphere approached Sharon and started chanting with his hand toward her.

"Sphere Silver announces the contract with the help of the old demon."

A simple chant unlike when you rewrote Beatrice's contract. However, Sphere, who inherited the power of the Demon King, was sufficient to bring Sharon under control in his present state.

When Ginada releases herself, Sharon pokes herself in front of Sphere.

"... my name is Sharon of the Earl of Harvey, the head of the Nightcrawler (Nosferus). Afterwards, I pledge my loyalty to Sphere, the master of the contract. Please forgive me for being rude."

Magic tribes have more chances of being tied to magic contracts than humans. Like Beatrice, who has been summoned by chance, you may be subordinated to the Summoner regardless of strength.

But in the present case, Sharon stopped resisting magic and accepted the contract. Sphere didn't force anything - Sharon showed his greatest gratitude.

(Earl... is Ratchrist's system quite high?

"Among the Counts of Ratochris, the Harvey family is at the forefront."

(Then maybe we can convince the nobles on the glass goal side... Sharon, can you do it?

"If I change my course 180 degrees, the other Earls will be upset... and I still think it will be difficult to change the direction of the wind without rescuing His Majesty the King."

(I see. Okay... thank you so much, Ginada-san. Sphere and I will leave the prison and go to the separation house.)

"... yes. I'll build a base with my men and wait for next instructions."

He seemed to want us to come with him, but Ginada replied with only a few doubts.

"Sharon should work with Ginada. I've been hurt before, but that's because I've been manipulated, so I'm going to use my powers to protect everyone."

Yes, Mr. Sphere.

◆ ◇ ◆

With Sharon's information, I was able to locate the equipment of General Ginada and her men and procure food as soon as possible.

More than 300 people, including Ginada, were captured in prison, and those unjustly captured by Glasgow's rebellion were freed, and those who remained physically fit among them were helped to cook meals for all.

There were dozens of people who could afford to pay at the tavern, but with this number of people, it was necessary to borrow the help of people who were relatively healthy. Sphere, who made a meal at the center of everyone on my instructions, was admired as an angel.

"Dad, if I had just told you... I was just cooking for you."

(You don't have to be modest, it was a perfect trick. I was watching with confidence.)

Some people were eating while crying, but because they were starving, it would be helpless. If you are so satisfied with the covered rice, one day you will want to eat the food (dinner) of our restaurant.

--But the time that I could think of such a peaceful thing was really short enough to say for a moment.

"General Ginada, enemy soldiers have appeared nearby! The scouts have reported that a nearby village has been looted!

"Hmm... why did Glasgow's soldiers kill the people..."

The face of General Ginada is incomprehensible. That's what she thinks most, but me and Sphere have already seen the village being raided once.

The idea of laying good governance after taking the throne is not in Glass Goal, nor is it in Leon and Lugard. So, I can't imagine what I could get when I became a ruler, but I don't think I can understand the motive.

General Ginada, I'm sorry, but I think we should use your men's help.

"Yes... we have to go to the village and defend ourselves. We will go to the village with the soldiers immediately. Duke, Sphere, I'll take care of the rest."

"Yes, thank you. Sharon, listen to Ginada and protect those who cannot fight."

"I understand, Mr. Sphere. I don't think this is going to be a sin, but I will do my best... for the first time as a family member of the Great One."

"Ah, um... I'm not great or anything like that, so please refrain from doing that. I get nervous."

"Ha... excuse me. Excessive compliments are careful and will only cultivate respect for Sphere in this chest."

Sphere is subtly confused because Sharon says such a thing with his face. It's too different from the language I used when I was hostile, and I'm surprised at the coercive power of the Contract.

"Ah... yes, Ginada-san. Is there anywhere near here like Spiritual Spirit Pulse? You can contact the mothers at Rugenta Castle once."

"There's a Spiritual Pulse Company on the way from here to the detached palace to the south-east. I got a map in jail, so I'll mark a place in the company... just be careful."

"Please don't push me too. Absolutely."

"If you're General Ginada, you'll never miss a soldier or junior officer. Please rest assured."

General Ginada, who has regained his armor and samurai, is wearing his natural majesty, as Sharon said.

But when she sent us out, she smiled. Sphere laughs too - while in the middle of a battle, my daughter has already built a strong relationship of trust with her new opponent.

When I left prison, the sky was unfortunately cloudy - the sky in the direction of the central plain was covered in black clouds.

"... Dad, I'm sure you'll be able to do your best with a word from your father. Let's do our best."

(Ah. Apparently, things are moving... we have to do what we have to do and then we have to meet up.)

"Yeah! Well then, I'll go as far as I can... my father's way...!

(My way... is that right. All right, Sphere, I'm gonna blow your eyes out!

― ― Spirit Body Conversion (Elemental Transformation) Transfer Transient Speed (Warp Boost) ―

Spear, one of my myths, is that I can use the pseudo-metastasis of super-acceleration to reduce air resistance to zero by dematerializing the body, and further improve it - until I reach the spiritual pulse company, I expect to recover the depleted magic.

(We can only connect the spiritual pulse company somehow, but it looks like we can return to the central plain as soon as this is all over...!

(Ah. At a minimum, only the magic that can be realized should be preserved... risky, but a good move. Well done, Sphere.)

Within a day, Sphere will grow differently. The more you fight, the more magic you use, the more you draw and combine your inherited powers, opening up endless possibilities.

How strong will it be - it will surpass us eventually.

(I have to do my best to catch up with my father. It hasn't arrived at all yet)

With that tireless upliftment, the idiot is throbbing again, but now I can't stop thinking about it. On the altar built in the forest, "Spiritual Spiritual Company", we left prison and arrived within a few moments.
