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

Beyond the open doors, darkness was spreading - but as soon as I stepped in, magic circuits ran across the floor and walls, lighting up everywhere.

"There's still a passage going on. Does this door look like a sorter...?

"Without a certain amount of force, we can't go further... in that case, we might say sorting."

"Is that why the King was afraid..."

No sign of the enemy - the lighting is weak, the area is dim, but no one is hiding.

After opening the door, you can follow the signs of the Armor Spirit in Magic Trace. We are sure to get close to Glasgow's location.

We have to hurry as fast as we can, and we'll step faster - we'll be alert to traps, but there's nothing more like a trick. As we arrived at Glass Goal, when we thought so, we stopped noticing the pattern that was floating on the front sidewall.

"... it looks like that mural... but this is..."

It depicted two large islands floating in the sky. There is another small island that emits blue light.

One floating island loses its light and appears to be sinking darkly. But the other big island, where winged creatures fly around, shines red. The light looked terrible to me.

"This is the floating island of Albain where the light is disappearing... we are here on the small island that is glowing blue. The other is... the island with the monster that attacked Albain's floating island a long time ago...?

"....."

Sphere grabs the hem of my clothes - I haven't felt sick in a long time. She clasped her hands to reassure Sphere.

"Another levitation island that destroyed Albain's levitation island is still alive... is that so...?

This mural has enough material to be so analogous. Compared to Albain's floating islands, it's a big circle - even though something like this still exists and is floating in the sky somewhere.

And suppose this "other floating island" still works. It means that the 'snake', which was the driving force of Albain's floating island, is inside and still active.

Pictures showing floating islands in Albain do not emit light. It can be attributed to the defeat of the Snake. I can't be sure without asking Glasgow, but when the Snake awakened and lived, it was as shining as the other two islands.

- Other floating islands can detect the status of Albain's floating islands. The weight of that meaning forced me to remember the battle.

"... Dee-kun..."

Master looked at me - it was like holding my eyes.

But it was for a moment, and she smiled as if she had immediately regained her mind.

"It's okay, Dee. I can't believe there are other things like" snakes "... there's no such thing. If that were the case, the world would be faster....."

It is not strange to be destroyed. It didn't happen because there were no threats equivalent to "snakes" - I understand what Master wants to say.

But why did Glasgow have to start a rebellion? If the reason is in this mural, it is bound up with cause and effect.

"I still can't prove it. Glasgow thought this red-gloss island could be harmful to Ratchris… King Rasius, who saw this mural, didn't understand what it meant. We've seen similar things, and it's not strange that Glasgow, who went deep into the ruins, has a common sense."

It is possible that there is a floating island where monsters live. Beyond the power of the "Berthalis Snake", he dropped a floating island that his master thought to have lived a long time ago into the earth - a presence with such power is still active, etc.

"... I wonder if Mr. Glasgow was trying to do something by himself."

The Royal Family of Ratochris was responsible for monitoring the ruins. King Rasius forbade him from entering the ruins, but the ban was lifted while King Rasius was captured - Glasgow would have waited until the end for King Rasius to make his decision.

But it was not what Glasgow wanted, and King Rasius persisted in his intention not to touch the ruins until the end. Glasgow gave instructions to execute King Rasius once he was ready to isolate him.

"For now, everything is within imagination. Meet Glass Goal to find out."

At the end of the long passage, there is once again a metastasis formation. There is no sign of a trap, and once the Master activates his team, the scenery changes again instantly.

We are moving further into the power section of the Flying Battleship.

On one side of the floor was a pattern often seen in the ruins labyrinth. Large room. On the other side, there's a door that looks like it's for the power section.

A glass goal stands in the center of the room. Its wings are still torn apart and there is no sign of treatment.

Hair that is thin in pigment and around the shoulders. And even with light armor, I tried not to show my skin - it was all to protect me as a direct general of the King.

Glass Goal raised his face and looked at this. The light in his eyes is thin, but there is a faint smile in his mouth.

"... what a face you're making. You knew we were coming here."

"He said he would not run away. I told you to wait in the royal palace, but that's different."

"Even if I were told to float this ruin, I wouldn't believe it until I actually saw it."

Glass Goal is not yet lethal, and his expression remains unchanged as he approaches a certain distance.

But I know that if we get any closer, we'll pull out the sword. I still only know a part of a man named Glasgow, but I still seem to have a military hold on him.

― ― However, it is not easy to admit that there is a cowardice in this situation.

"... are you going to leave the rest to us and die?

Glasgow didn't answer right away. Looking at us, he smiled - a face similar to that of giving up was also received as a silent affirmation.

"Why didn't you talk to the king? Did you give up even if I talked to you...?

"There is nothing to protect from the powerless. When I tell you the truth, it doesn't change being cruel."

"... you have prevented Leon and Lugard's malice from reaching the people of Ratchrist. I captured the king to protect him. I thought seeing Mermaire gone would change the situation."

You still don't answer my questions right away - and I realize it. Glass goals are no longer even difficult to stand on.

Leather armor chest armor is slit with our sword and we can see the skin underneath. Just like Cody, the tightly wrapped salad is torn and loose in tightening, but it's just hand-worked.

"I didn't expect Princess Mermaire to do anything. I didn't think it would be strange if Leon and Lugard caught me... but Elsein has Queen Verlaine. I wanted to see how much Leon and Lugard could fight against this rare queen."

"... you're saying that you lent Leon the 'Armor Spirit' just for surveillance?

"If Leon of SS rank can defeat the Demon King by using Armor Spirit, he can be expected to be a fighter. But when Leon got his armor sperm, he didn't have a vessel to break the wall of his abilities. He only used the power of the armor sperm to wipe out his inferiority towards his sister."

Until Glasgow tried his enemies, Leon and Lugard, he was trying to gather the strength for what - not to ask again.

"You know, the red glowing floating island... you were preparing to fight it alone."

Even affirming its existence, the master remembers the taboos. But we can't avoid going through it.

The expression of Glass Goal finally shades. With her eyes down, her lips chewed, and her body embraced, she squeezed out her voice trembling.

"... when I saw that mural, Rasius turned away, saying it was a disaster. I don't understand why you can do that... but I can't forgive you. Just pretend not to look at me, Rasius..."

"Away from the ruins. And... you tried to get away from me, too."

"Nh... Dee-kun, why are you doing this..."

King Rasius called Glasgow "Your Majesty" when he clearly disagreed. It's obvious what it means to call someone by name.

"... with Ginada in the center as the head of the Four Generals, Volkswagen and I will defend the northern border. That was Rasius's conclusion."

--That's how it starts. Glasgow must have been disappointed in the king and decided to act.

"That's not true... all the time, Mr. Glasgow..."

"... you won't cry. My loyalty, in some cases, could only be discarded. I do what I want, and I still do. I'm activating this ruin, testing the strength of the monster I built... and I'm the only one left until the end."

Glass Goal puts his hand on the sword on his hips and pulls it out of his sheath. She only looked at me--like she wanted to cross a sword with me.

"Dad...."

"Dee-kun...."

I draw a sword - my sword is just an unnamed sword against Glasgow's silver sword.

But I'm never going to underestimate Glass Goal. I'll let her admit that I've lost - that's all I can do.

"... my name is Frey Glasgow Zerline. I want to hear your name."

What does it mean to be named like this? I don't know - but you shouldn't say that here.

"I'm... Dick. It's Dick Silver."

"... Dick. That swordsman named Cody called his name. I admire you so much, I...."

My lips only move and I can't hear you. And the four torn wings of Glass Goal open - I use Reinforcement Magic to slash between them.

"Oooh!

― Enhanced Slash Count Spirit Blade Attack Rise ―

Increases the amount of effort with magic, shooting thirteen slashes almost simultaneously from all directions. But most of it is prevented by the armor sperm appearing in front of Glass Goals- its defenses are fully exerted just by extending its arms and standing back.

"Leva....!

"I am with my Lord. It exists only to protect the Lord."

Glasgow, who had not been emotional for a long time, shouted the name of the armor sperm. Glasgow was no longer going to let the Armor Spirit fight - as far as I could hear.

"- No! Mr. Leva, if you don't keep going...!

― ― Halo Armor Light Armor Physical Reflective Wall Material Wall ―

The Armor Spirit didn't show all its abilities - the attack on the Armor Spirit is reflected as it is. However, when the magic is exhausted and the armor sperm does not seek the power of Glasgow, its existence diminishes and disappears when it misses its power by reflecting slashing attacks.

"Nh... Leva, that's enough...!

"... my lord... woke me up and made me a contract... and stopped me from losing my sense of existence..."

"... all to compensate for your lack of power. Still, in the end, I have to finish it alone. Leva, you don't have to disappear."

"Still... I... protect my lord..."

Spirits can regenerate as long as they are supplied with magic. But I don't because I'm standing in front of me just to protect her as Glasgow's armor.

"... you did your part. You will find a good Lord, not even me."

"It's not that easy. That's what it means to be chosen by the Spirit… Leon couldn't get it even if he wanted the Sword Spirit. The Armor Spirit chose you, Glass Goal. Don't let go of me once I've helped you. If you've fought together, don't throw it away."

The Armor Spirit spreads its hands to protect Glass Goal from my words. However, the figure faded to the limit, and the glass goal on the other side was seen covering his face with one hand.

"You went the way you believed... Glasgow. If you're accepting your sins, why don't you just stick to the end of it? Whatever you did, you tried to protect this country...?

"Still... we have to finish here. Everything I had to do was over. Dick Silver... when you came here."

"- If that's your answer, I can't admit it. If you beat me, you can do whatever you want. You've been doing this forever...!

The most powerful being in this Lattice Demon Kingdom. We can understand that loneliness.

But you're doing it the wrong way. At least we don't make important decisions' alone '. Not to mention determining the fate of a country called Albain.

Glasgow's wings blink - the torn wings shine, and the last remaining force converges into the sword.

(The materialization of the magical sword... did you make it possible to do the same? SS rank... if you gain the power of armor sperm, SSS rank. Glasgow, a great warlord... but...)

Glasgow's sword vibrates with a loud and clear sound - and she holds the silver sword with both hands, and she sees me straight, with no intention of killing.

"Oh my...!

"- Come on!

- "Release of Load and Restraint" - "Spirit Release Limitburst"

I felt like I heard a voice that didn't sound like an armor spell. Master and Sphere are shouting too - everything looks slow to me like time has stopped.

(... you've come too far. No, I...)

It's all because we're fighting together. As long as everybody's here, I'll stay with me - at the same speed, in the direction I want to go.

"--haaa!

"Ooh......!

Together with the tortuosity, Glasgow's sword waves down, leaving a trajectory of light.

― ― Four-wing Sword Tenma Destruction ―

― ― Shura Slasher Sword Quadrupolar Crack ―

Glasgow's sword slashes only a few wings - as it reads, a quadruple slash occurs simultaneously.

Among Eileen's boxing skills are creating a counterpart with three masses and launching four types of attacks simultaneously with the body. Quadrupolar fist - no one can completely return it after being struck by different blows such as "Rigid", "Soft", "Penetration" and "Toru".

The impact of the Quadruple Sword shakes the air, and the Master stretches the defensive wall to protect Sphere - Glass Goal and I stagger, then neither moves.

"Dee-kun...!

"Dad....!

My combat suit tore apart - shortly afterwards, Glasgow's sword fell off his hand and made a noise.

Looking back, Glass Goal appeared to be standing intact. However, when you smile with no strength, blood passes from the edge of your mouth.

"... ah... ah... ahh...!

The Quadruple Slash was powering Glasgow's body - it was only given a few seconds of respite until the attack showed its real effect.

Glass Goal pokes his knees on the spot, but does not fall down, holding his body with both arms and breathing roughly.

"... haah, haah..."

"... Dad..."

I know how Sphere feels. Glass goals are never forgiven - but she's choosing her own death, and Sphere doesn't want it.

Glasgow looks up at me. Even if you spit out blood, its beauty is cold enough, and its torn wings together look like heaven's use or something.

But the cheeks are covered with vermilion, unable to kill emotions before suffering. Until now, I had a different attitude to give up - I had to think so.

"You really want this to end? Everything you tried to do was wrong...? I didn't think so, so I thought you floated the ruins."

"... I... can't do anything. To lose means not to be right. The loser must vanish with death."

"--That's not true! You wouldn't know what your father was doing with Glasgow right now!

Sphere knows me well - I didn't wave my sword to kill Glasgow, wondering if I shouldn't.

Strike, not slash. Using the side of the sword - you can return Glass Goal moves. By then, her powers have been lost.

"... come on... I'll do everything in my power..."

"Even so... I can't do what you want. Glasgow... King Rasius said he wanted to talk to you again. It may be inconceivable to meet the person you tried to execute, but the King doesn't want you to die."

"Nh... how long has it been sweet... that's how Rasius has always done his daydreaming! Tell them to protect me, and don't listen to my complaint...."

"Glass goal... you wanted me to share your thoughts. When I saw that mural, I wanted King Rasius to think I had to do something."

Master walks up to Glass Goal and talks. Glass Goal shakes his lips and waves his arms away, telling him to stay away.

"Have mercy on me... just like when Racius left me, you guys..."

"... this floating island has the ability to detect the condition of two other floating islands. It was because you saw it that you took action. The knowledge we have on this floating island should be much richer than what we're going to find out from now on... right?

"... what are you saying... if you don't have me..."

Glasgow sees his master - he knows the characteristics of the "people who have been left behind", and he feels that he is connected to the people who built this ruin.

"... if you explain how the ruins are moving, I think we can move them. But if you've been looking at this ruins all along, you know more than I do."

"Don't say it's over, Mr. Glasgow. Dad didn't come here to do that. I'm here to help you."

"There's no way I can be saved, I... what I've been doing..."

The people of Lattice were wounded, but on the other hand, thou hast tried to protect them. Leon and Lugard were trying to feed the Demons... and you made time for us to come here. Not all of them were wrong. It's based on what I've seen of you and what I've seen of you. "

King Rasius understood why Glasgow had rebelled.

The capture of General Ginada would have been a personal affair of Glasgow's. There are many things to pay for, but if you do what she wants here, you can't do anything.

When I put my sword in my sheath, Glass Gore looks at us in exhaustion. I think it's easier to die, and it might be cruel to ask someone like that to live.

But I thought it was over before we fought. The only way to cross your sword is to bully you.

"You want to die here, but the punishment we give you is to live. It may take some time to get back to Ratochris, but I think we should all talk to King Rasius. We won't interfere in this country any more... but if you have any trouble on your own, I'll let you talk to me."

"I don't think you said that, Dee, because the face behind you is Albain's Guild Master... Ah, was it the front face?

"Basically, it's the back. No, it's not like I'm joking....."

"Alliance... Master... why are you so willing to take such a position... with all that power..."

"It's just because it suits my nature... oh, don't look so stupid. I don't usually tell people what I'm doing with the Guild Master."

What am I supposed to do if I'm stunned by the Alliance Master? I'd like to hide whenever the time comes, but the situation is hard to forgive.

"... Dee, this is who you are. The truth is, I don't want to tell you my real name, but I just want to sneak it all out and go home. Because I don't want to stand out."

"I don't want to stand out... tilt that much force for that purpose..."

"Dad has a reason to want to do this. Having done so, the land of Albain is still peaceful. In order to continue to do so, we must try to be discreet. I wish I could help you with that...."

Even if my doctrine has been affirmed so far, the opposite is true, but there are no parents who are not happy that their daughter will affirm it - even if they are called pro-idiots, they cannot deny it.

"... well, that's why. I didn't just come here with a sense of purpose that I should plead guilty to you. And it's not over yet. Frey, I want you to help me from now on...."

"....."

I thought Frey was a more formal personal name than Glass Goal, so I talked about it - something unexpected happened.

"Well, what's the matter...? I'm sorry, you're insensitive."

"... no, Dee-kun. She....."

Tears fell down on Glasgow's cheeks, lying face down. Tears fell down on the floor, and I lost my verbal face-even though I heard the name, shouldn't I have spoken easily?

But I felt like her will when I named Frey. It's like fighting to deny it - you have to keep living even after you've heard the name. It's painful for her, and I don't even know now if I can get the understanding of the people of Ratchristia.

Master and Sphere walk to the crying glass goal and get permission to start healing the wound. Slightly behind them, the armor sperm appeared - but just watching did not do anything.

The battle against Glasgow is over. The turmoil in the demonic kingdom of Ratclis is coming to an end, but new things have been done - but now.

I wonder if Silver Bottle Pavilion can do well without me. Of course I trust you, but I want to go back to that nostalgic tavern and see the faces of my people. Yes, I really thought so.
