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

--- Moon of the Goddess of Virginity, Kingdom of Albain, 2,000 Years of Calendar An Isle of the Sea Around the Albain Oriental Islands

An island not on the map. Surrounded by currents that make it difficult for people to cross the perimeter by boat, there is no other way for humans to get in without luck.

It was located near the orbit of the floating island "Kvaris" as it moved towards Albain.

Ruins left underground on an isolated island. One that was created by the hand of the 'Deserted People'.

From there, the girl who had been observing events on the ground wondered how to perceive the fact that the path of "Kvaris" had changed and kept moving away from Albain.

The girl is wearing a light blue pigmented hair cut around her shoulders and a metal circular on her head. The simple penetrating jacket had worn loop-like ornaments on both arms and feet as the edges were scratched and cluttered. Only a skilled wizard can know that it is a sealing ring to suppress power.

No one can find anything beyond her own power, except the head of her organization. Yes, the girl was self-evaluating.

But those who have changed the direction of "Kvaris" may exceed themselves - feelings that they have never remembered arise.

There is nothing like awe. If you remember that feeling for your servant, the girl knows it well.

The girl stopped thinking about it for a while and leaned her mind to information analysis, which is her role.

"... those who have enough power to change the course of the floating islands are still in that country."

There is one country where women who have 'roots' in the world and have access to information from various countries do not have access to accurate information.

The Kingdom of Albain. It is the largest printed power in the Ex-Rare continent and has been ruling continuously since the first king of Albain.

The country underwent a major change five years ago. I don't even know the King, the aristocrats, or anyone involved in government.

Someone who values information, collects it, and at the same time builds a system to prevent information leakage.

Not only that, but also the SSS ranking party, an indicator of adventurer strength, is powerful enough to break through difficult situations. It has not yet been proved whether it is the same as the existence that controls the information, but if so, it can be said to be an unmatched existence - yes, a light blue girl thought.

A girl staring at the Eclair Continent, including Albain's prints, reflected in a giant crystal sphere, stretches her fingertips to the point of King Alvinas. At that time, there were signs of another person behind her, and the girl slowly turned back.

"I have received instructions from 'that person'. We'll see if they're" qualities. "

Another appeared in a large hemispherical room with a girl. There was a woman with long green hair. She wears a robe, but wears a costume that exposes her skin a lot and has almost no skin covering under it.

The costume and the crooked wand on her right hand indicated that she resembled a magician.

Although she has a gentle smile, the girl understands from experience that she is a 'proxy' who carries out the orders of the organization without choosing any means. Still speaking out of her mouth was a word of warning.

"I will accompany you. If anyone exceeds the SSS rank, there should be at least six members, if possible. Calwen's personal abilities are not outside the SSS ranks."

"I will take your harsh words seriously... but you don't need to accompany me. The defeat of" Kvaris "was probably achieved by" Miracle Children ", Albain's greatest power. Then there is something to try before we engage."

We know about their presence on other continents, but we don't get any information about their current capabilities. At the time of volunteering as the Demon King Crusaders, five boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 13 recorded their SSS ranks - but now, five years later, there is no information that adventurer strength has been officially recorded.

"... I can't be sure they moved."

"You know that, don't you? If we can push back Kvaris, they're the only ones who have the potential. You can see with them that we're blocking information... that the time has come."

A woman puts her arms together and one hand against her cheek. Then he narrowed his eyes and stared at the red light moving through the map reflected on the crystal sphere with a trance expression. That light, which indicates the position of the "Kvaris", is still heading northeast.

"After the destruction of King Alvinas, I wish I had been able to infiltrate the inside of the 'Kvaris' and retrieve the 'pseudo-divine nucleus'. The investigation revealed that the floating island now has barriers that no one can pass through. Looks like they're deploying an" alien quarantine formation, "one of the" lost magic. "

"... the floating island will not be lifted without the 'Administrator'."

"Yeah, that's right. It is uncertain whether any of their associates have the 'Administrator' or the ability to mediate the power of the 'Administrator'. Either way, Albain has what we want."

"If you go alone, I won't stop you. I must know where you are. I wouldn't interfere if I could."

"Yeah... that's right. He didn't want you to come into contact with the" Kvaris, "but it would be within your expectations."

"... the 'Alliance Lord' does not prophesy. I'm in charge of predicting the future."

A woman called Calvin silently looks back at a girl with light blue hair. The emotions in the eyes were not necessarily friendly.

"I don't suppose you should suspect that you qualify as an ally because he himself says so. But not everyone agrees unconditionally."

"... I don't understand the intent of the speech."

"Emotion is something that doesn't suppress. Makina-sama... I don't think it's necessary for you."

A girl with light blue hair - Makina didn't keep asking questions.

I understand that I have no heart. However, since the heart is moving like an organism and can think like humans and demons, it should not be impossible to reproduce the mind simultaneously.

That said, I knew Calwen would just smile. Doing nothing should be done as much as possible.

"... I am the end and part of the Alliance Lord."

"Yes... that's fine. If you say so, I can fully affirm your existence. Okay, I'll go."

Place your right hand on your chest and lower your head. It was customary in the Kalwen family, and to the extent that Makina could observe, it was only Kalwen's greeting.

Her family has already disappeared from the ground. Because of the rarity of his abilities, he joined the organization and was given orders by the "Alliance Lord" this time.

"... I am part of the Alliance Lord Hugo. There's no other reason to exist."

Makina murmurs after Calvin leaves and is alone.

Only the Lord of Makina, who is not here, is aware that his words have arrived.

◆ ◇ ◆

I once thought seriously about luck.

The amount of luck that exists in the world is fixed, trying to define that the amount allocated by people's actions changes, etc., or there is no total amount of luck, and whether luck or misfortune is determined by the goddess of fate shaking dice each time.

Even if there is such a goddess, it is a whimsical thing, and I think there is no bias of personal luck, but there are some people who have to say that it is very biased. I don't think that the goddess hates me because of the bad luck alias.

"Uhhhh...."

A tavern on the ground floor of Silver Bottle Pavilion. The woman who sat beside me at the counter and was really bothering her head was Serene Laura, a female adventurer who was famous for "The Goddess of Fortune" and the Casino in King's Landing.

Now that the shop is bustling at night, making a little noise won't bother guests. When she comes to the store at such a time, Serene roughly begs me to fight.

After losing so much in other casinos, I think I can win, but I don't know where that confidence comes from.

She had already lost five times, betting on everything she wore, except the ornaments. If I really collect my bets, I'll be in a state where I can put a question mark on my personality that I'm just wearing naked accessories.

"That was an odd number earlier, so next is an even number... turn around and be odd...? Haa ~, if Irene had come here, I could have borrowed the stakes and won. My brother, I haven't seen you in a long time, and I'm not merciful."

"You've only been here a while... Verlaine made me lose the waitress, but you still owe me."

"I don't owe it to my brother. I owe Verlaine, Sherry, and Cashmere a debt, but they say it's okay when I can give it back."

I wonder who is challenging him. The named Verlaine catered to regular female customers. The silver shaker shakes the ordered beverage, and I suddenly see it.

"I regret losing to my new brother... because I will definitely win and go home. So you pay the rent, you pay back what you put on at other casinos, and you become a beautiful body. Then will you take care of your sister, brother?

"If you don't say it in a misleading way, you may consider re-employment."

"What's a misunderstanding? Fufu, I don't really understand that kind of thing because I neglect it. My younger brother rolled me over the palm of his hand."

There may be alcohol in it, but Serene's tone is unusual, and I don't have enough actors to deal with it properly. If I bring Zeke, he's hardcore, and he won't last long at all.

Recently, I got along with seven people other than Sphere's mother, and Sphere started whispering to me.

"What would your mother say if she saw it?" is becoming a regular line - that's why Serene can't even respond to her chest when it's hot.

"Until I get here, I think my luck is about to peak when I come to the store today. Unfortunately, it doesn't last forever so long that it doesn't stop raining. If you believe in the light, you'll win big."

I think that Serene has a point, but I believe in the law and sometimes I lose if I slip away, so I'm going to give you some advice.

"Are you sure? Next time I lose, I don't think there's anything I can bet on anymore... but I don't want to take my clothes anyway."

"I'm an adventurer too. I pay like an adventurer."

"Don't tell the shop about paying with your body, because it's my basic policy to keep my shop clean."

"Ah... Master... no, Dick. I think Master Serene is more stimulating than Master Serene is saying... but Master still doesn't understand his suitability as Master."

"No, no, even if you react to it..." I told you, "Master can't."

"That kind of brother makes you want to make fun of him. Yes, may I be your second squire? I'll serve you with one gold coin a day."

When choosing the word "service", I don't think it's in line with my policy of purity and innocence - it also pricks Verlaine, so I dare not say anything.

One gold coin can live a week, so one daily gold coin can be said to be a high salary to help the King's Capital with housework. The profits of the tavern are ten gold coins a day because they don't pay for food or alcohol, and they try to be as cheap as possible. Doubling it if you manage it too tightly, but don't forget that 12th Street is a communal city.

In view of the danger, the guild's rewards for completing the A-Rank request are based on twenty gold coins. It is customary for an alliance in King's Landing to charge the necessary expenses separately. Demon King Crusade is a SSS rank request, but the reward can also be received for 5,000 antique gold coins - the value of the gold coins is one million pieces, which is just broken. It's not going to resonate with the state budget, and none of us wanted cash.

In a previous request brought in by Yuma's father, Mr. Grenadine, he was offered 500 pieces of gold at first, but the amount was, of course, broken. Since only the monotheistic religion of Albainism is worshipped in this country, donations come from churches throughout the country. It is believed that Mr. Grenadine offered me a limit on the amount that I could pay as an individual, not from such a donation.

The head of the church, Mr. Grenadine, has some of the country's best assets, but as far as I'm concerned, I thought the money would be worth more to the "Talisman" who received it as a reward at the same time as the Alliance.

The "Royal Sign" that I received as a reward for Manarina's fiancée revocation is nothing but rotten possession. It is the key to entering the labyrinth of five ruins in Albain, three of which have not yet been breached in the country's 2,000 years of existence. In other words, if we keep going, our Alliance will be the first to enter.

"Ah, you look like an adventurer. Or is it the face of the master of acumen?

"Nh... it's nice if you keep your voice down, but isn't the distance too close?"

I'm pretending to have drunk it today, so I don't want you to call me an Alliance Master. I am not recognized as an adventurer guild operator, just because I am the master of the store.

"I see... that's how you can get closer to your husband. However, if you dare complain, I wonder if the distance in the clothes with open chest is a bit problematic as a lady's taste....."

"Because I trust you... it's hard to understand. Is there no gap in my heart since I first met you? Recently, I understand the situation."

At the end of Serene's gaze is a master playing harp in the hall of the shop. I've never heard such a story before, but in her long life, she's had a lot of experience I don't know yet, so I started playing music as part of the store's help.

"If I told you that such a perfect woman taught me how to live, I would naturally think that... I know it's an impudent gesture."

"Really... if I'd known Dick sooner, I wouldn't be able to stop feeling jealous."

"What are you imagining... I haven't changed much since a long time ago. Even if I've known you a long time ago, I think you're just a cheeky kid."

Are you saying that you were cheerful or that you gave up on living? Now, I realize that my troubles were only in the narrow world, but I wouldn't have been able to get out of it without my master.

But despite my irony, Verlaine and Serene laughed at each other with joy. Thank you, there's still a situation where whatever I say is favorable - after trying to defeat "Kvaris" by myself, everyone is equally gentle.

Because I know the reason, I feel uncomfortable. Should I say thank you again to everyone who fought with me and to those who were worried if not?

"... if I were Mr Rimserit, I'd have taught my brother to look at himself more like this. So is Verlaine, right?

"Well, that's... kohn. I see my husband five years ago as one of the brave men who defeated me more than a boy. Instead of educating, let me say that if I can make you realize that your husband is not alone...."

I wonder what you're imagining - I didn't keep Verlaine's talisman if I had to be strong in the first place, but it would be futile to point it out.

"... oh, Verlaine, the customers are waiting for you."

"Yes, I'll go. I'm sorry I didn't see the last match."

Verlaine smiled nicely and returned to the shopkeeper's face. I am afraid of the adaptability of the lady of King's Landing, as she can communicate without any problems.

"Oh, when did this place start acting like a casino?

While I was talking, I realized that everyone had come to the store - not just Cody, but Aileen, Miralka and Yuma behind it.

"I was just wondering if Eileen would come, but if there were four of you, oneechan would be very comfortable."

"... Dick, what kind of alcohol did you let Serene drink? He seems to be drunk in a strange way."

"No, it's just a regular moist apricot coconut split. There may be drunkenness in a match."

"Hmm, Dick, you look serious and say something good."

"The enthusiasm for each match is said to be favored by Albain's gods. I am the goddess in charge of the battle."

Serene listens to everyone with joy. She already seemed filled with the desire to get the four of them into a fight - and Cody, with a refreshing smile on my shoulder, would realize that she was late and in trouble.

"Dean, did you hear me?

"Dad, Lim, it was so nice when Mom was playing the instrument!

Master finishes playing the harp and comes with Sphere, who was a waitress.

"Ah, that? I thought there was some kind of good vibe going on, but maybe Mr. Rimserit was playing it...?

"Yeah, even if I look like this, I used to be called a stray musician. I don't know the songs that are popular right now, so I was just playing the old strawberry song in the atmosphere. Ah, yes, Yuma, will you sing with me next time?

"Yes, I'd love to have Mr. Sphere with me. If you could come to the orphanage and play, the kids would be happy."

"I'm not very good at music, so I'm just watching."

"You're not good at dancing enough to be called a night club princess. Eileen was performing a fist dance at a demon festival."

Cody worked hard to behave as a knight captain and did dance lessons with me--I wondered if they were men, but now that I realized they were women, I miss that I was willing to do a bold choreography.

I still haven't heard much about how Eileen lived in her hometown. Occasionally, family stories and village stories come up, but little is known about Eileen's father as the chief.

"... Dick, maybe you're interested...?

"Well, it's been a long time. I once wanted to see Irene's hometown."

"I'm going to Cody's house... soon. Dad, I'm looking forward to it!

Sphere immediately corrects to avoid revealing the identity of Cody because the store is open for business. It's not just a bright reason to go home to Cody, but the place where she was born doesn't change that it's an important place.

"I was born in King's Landing, so this is my hometown. Miralka-san....."

"Yes... because my father was born in King's Landing. I can also say that King's Landing is my home."

Miralka's reply to Yuma was somehow indestructible. She has talked about her father, but she has never talked about her mother in detail.

I don't think we live together, so there may be some circumstance - but rather than prying, I think we should ask Miralka when she wants to talk, and if she doesn't, we shouldn't try to force her to know.

"Miralka said she played some instruments when she was a kid."

"Yeah... give me a little keyboard. My mother was the one who played it, so she taught me a little bit."

"Does your mother play instruments? Wow, if I practice, can I be an orchestra with the guild people?

"Well, I suppose each one of them has an instrument to play with. I can only play grass whistles."

An instrument that suits my brother, such as a mouth organ (harmonica)? It's good to hear a sad tone when a shady boy like your brother blows. "

I said grass whistle to properly deceive, but I have touched Serene's instrument. My brother gave it to me because it would be necessary in an orchestra in which the village's children would participate - I never joined the orchestra after all, and I forgot where I had been since I came to this guild house.

"Ah, I'm drinking ale with distant eyes. Dick's going to want to catch him from behind."

"In the meantime, may I have a drink, too? It seems that Serene's match is not over yet, so let's keep an eye on her."

"Yes, because I haven't lost yet. But the shop is busy, so why don't you change the place once and settle when the moon leans from the center of the sky?

It sounds poetic, but that means you want to go to a villa owned by our guild. I certainly want to calm down and drink it during business hours, so there is no reason to disagree.

"Serene, what kind of battle were you playing with your father?

"Thank you for listening. I put two dice in this silver cup...."

It's a bet that the sum of the two dice shakes out is odd or even. You can bet on the same side in three matches, but you must bet on the other side once.

Serene is trying hard to bet ahead of me, to bet on a different side after seeing the side I bet on, and to bet on the same side without thinking about anything, but so far she's lost brilliantly. Not my luck, of course.

Verlaine seems busy and it's hard to get a new drink order. I took another sip of ale, moisturized my throat and stood up.

"Sphere, let's work a little harder. Mizuha-chan is off, so I need to help."

"Yeah, okay. Take your time, mothers."

When I see Master and Sphere working, everyone else seems to want to help, but I want you to drink the first drink slowly and take a breath.

"Dick, can I take care of the order? I like Kirin milk liquor, but I think I'll have another one today."

Is it sweet or dry? I don't usually take orders with these cutouts. "

"I like Yale. Combining it with other drinks makes it easier for me to get drunk, so I can't really try other drinks."

"Cody wants the same thing as Dick, right? When I grow up, I want to drink ale once... but I can't be a devotee to God."

In fact, we are also developing a non-alcoholic ale, but there is little demand because many customers say that it makes no sense if they are not drunk. But in the sense that Yuma can taste the mood, it makes a lot of sense to make such liquor.

"Yuma only drinks juice, so perhaps it would be better if she was alone."

"No, don't worry about me. If you feel the enthusiasm of your soul in this crowd, it will make you feel better."

Yuma's face is subtly red. She is good at soothing her soul, but she is also good at empathizing with the emotions of others where it is a wave of souls. There is an atmospheric drunkenness, but in the case of Yuma, it can be said that it is really a drunkenness.

"Yes... then, can I do it on my own, just like Eileen?"

"Oh, I see. Wait a minute... do you need Serene?

"I'm very sorry for losing, but I would be happy if I could leave it to you. My brother is really sweet."

It seems reluctant, but it is difficult to accept it honestly even if it is said to be gentle in this situation. I decided to make a liquor that would suit my mouth, considering her place of origin.
