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

When I realized it, the soft morning sun came in from the curtains shaking in the breeze.

I'm glad I woke up, but I remember having some weird dreams. The content was too much, so I stumbled on my head.

I never slept in the same room with the five of them when I was on a journey with the Demon King Crusaders, but in my dreams I slept with the four of them. Miralka put her arm on pillow, Yuma leaned against her, Eileen put her knee on pillow, and Cody smiled and watched her.

(Is that my wish... or are the four of you crawling on me at night, or are you lately expecting something like that...?

"... Dad?

"Dee, what's going on? Does your head hurt? All right, all right. Shall I do it for you?

"Hmm... after all, that sign last night... no, let's not say anything. I value women's friendship too."

Sphere, Master, and Verlaine peek vertically from the entrance to the bedroom. The sight made me laugh without thinking, making me feel a little more comfortable.

Three people came into the room - somehow the master approached my bed and began to smell the sheets on his hands.

"Rim, Mother, are you smelling your father?

"Uhh, yeah, that's not true... is it because of your mind? It's because of your mind, because you don't want us to shut up... no, you don't want us to say a word.

"Yes, of course it is, but... even if we participate, it doesn't seem like a runaway for Sherry..."

"... what's the matter with you both? Something upset me."

"Whoa, whoa, I'm not upset! Dee, you're the one making breakfast, so don't get upset!

"Nh... okay, it's going to happen, but let me tell you what I care about."

I finally woke up with a blurred head, and I think Master and Verlaine know what happened last night.

"... Dad, when you come here next, why don't you have a good night with me?

"Oh, that's right... well, what's wrong? Both of you."

As they stroked Sphere's head as they stepped out of bed, they looked at us gently.

"If you're going to listen to Sphere... what do you think, Vel?

"I know I'm worried about my daughter, but there's something I can think about... and I don't really want you to act like Sphere either..."

"Dad, Vel, your mom's all right. Can you do that for me? And Lim's mom."

"I wonder what that means....."

Master and Verlaine rely on their daughters here and there. While wondering what the hell I was doing, I stroked the heads of the two men who sat on either side of the bed and stepped forward. I thought the feeling of Sarasara's hair was honest and pleasant to touch - so they both blushed their faces and closed their eyes.

"Dick, oh... ahh!?

"... I wonder what's going to happen when I start doing this in the morning."

"It's just that they're being honest. Dick, you look great today."

"Both of you seem comfortable... no, I can't, I can't believe the feeling of envy is held by someone who serves God..."

Eileen and the four of them came along and each said something free. I can't be ashamed to stroke everyone's head even if I look at Beatrice in the room like a servant at some point in time.

"Brother, I lost a lot yesterday, so in return... oh?

"Wow... I'm out in the most amazing outfit. Serene is the type who's fine in the morning."

"No, that's not it, after drinking last night, I fell asleep..."

"Ah, you know... I'm here, so why don't you stop dressing like that?"

Cautioning Serene, who appeared in a dancer-like costume with a lot of skin exposure since the morning - for some reason Eileen began to feel restless, Cody turned back unnaturally, Miralka turned her eyes away with her arms braced, Yuma shook her index finger in an unfortunate manner and inevitably lost her sight.

"Maybe all four of you had my stuff last night....."

"Serene, we'll talk about that later... because my breakfast is getting cold."

"Hey... wait, I've made up my mind to get dressed since the morning... I'm sorry, brother, I'll pay you back twice what you lost the bet...!

Everyone leaves the room with Serene - only Sphere remains. He innocently lay on his bed and looked up at me.

"Mothers, I wish I could be a little more honest."

"Is that so...?

"And so is your father.

If you say so, you can't say anything back. My daughter was the only one who grew up tough - no matter what happens to Sphere, it's going to be gone soon.

◆ ◇ ◆

Having had breakfast at the villa, it was decided to dissolve temporarily. Serene says she wants to pay back the bet she lost by working as an adventurer, so she decides to have her client shake it. Now Serene, the former master, has returned to our guild.

Returning to the tavern to prepare for lunch, Douglas, a courier who always brought the ingredients to the back of the shop, arrived.

"Thank you for your help, we have received word from the Central Albain Market."

I'm covering up the store owner, so Verlaine will come out and respond instead. Douglas is nervous when he sees Verlaine, but most men are so nervous.

"Thank you for your time and effort. What's the announcement?

"Yes... it seems that there are few direct deals with the market in this tavern, but I'll let you know just in case. At this time, carriages headed for King's Landing from Seafast Port continue to be raided by bandits, and imports such as fruit are becoming thin. The Weltem Chamber of Commerce has opened the Riding Dragon Carriage, so please note that there is something you can get from that route, but it will only be a small fee."

Bandit requests fall into the category of big jobs among those brought to the Adventurers Guild. The Knights and the local vigilantes usually handle the case, but they can't rely on their power inside, and the nearby Adventurer Alliance may bring in requests to fight.

Few local guilds have adventurers above B rank, and fewer have branches. Apart from King's City, there were branches in the sub-capital, and distant residents often went to King's City to bring requests.

But things are different with my guild. Since a network of magic devices is spread throughout the country, residents can be encouraged to bring it in as a favor when an incident occurs in the relevant district. The amount of remuneration is kept down when we go out, so I was often pleased when fulfilling the request.

(Master, isn't there a report of banditry in Intelligence?

(Oh, yeah... and if we talk about dragon transport, it could be a little troublesome.)

I was partnering with the Weltem Chamber of Commerce to start testing the carriage of dragons using black dragons that Elsein transferred to me. It was paused when "Kvaris" was approaching, but it just resumed.

Dragon master Shura Lao, who manages the fire dragon ranch, invited a cavalier apprentice from his home village who wanted to work as a cavalry dragon to serve as a black dragon rider in the transport of the cavalry dragon. Irina is in charge, but she also brought a dragon rider apprentice from Elsein, so it can be said that the shortage of personnel was solved at the moment.

One concern, however, is whether there will be a conflict with the carriage union by starting dragon riding. There are many possibilities that the carriage union will take the job that it was supposed to undertake to the dragon riding carriage.

Dragon rides are still less expensive than carriages. It is my ideal to have people use it differently for this purpose - transporting it by dragon will bring fresh ingredients to various parts of Japan and increase the means of transportation in a hurry, but it does not deny the conventional carriage of carriages.

"Thank you for your report. Our purchases have no significant impact, but if there is a problem in the central market, it will be a problem for the entire store in King's Landing. I will also consider measures."

Fear of Verlaine's words, Douglas returns - just because he treats some beauty is too much to put his feet on the ground.

"If it's just a bandit, I'm sure I can handle a B-ranked party... but I'm sure your husband will be careful."

"I think it's safer to have room in the ranks. It's not hard to just defeat a human being."

The guild that has turned into an organization that undertakes murder is no longer in King's Landing. The adventurer's true purpose is not to be asked to be feared - that's my guiding principle.

"But how does it work? Depending on the situation, the bandits must be crushed as soon as possible....."

"Looks like you could take on the shape of an guild."

"Nh...?

Verlaine didn't seem to come with my intentions right away, but she smiled like she was good at it when the store's bell rang.

"I see. You knew the party would be here."

We go back to the shop hall. Then there was a man wearing a scorched brown coat.

Joyce Weltem, owner of the Weltem Chamber of Commerce. A skinny man with a beard left because he was always busy today shaved his beard and dressed well.

(But I see my cheeks sticking out more than usual. Looks like you have a lot of hard work.)

"Thank you for every time... oops, you've made a difference today. Cohon... I don't really want to use the word King's Landing because it doesn't suit me. Can't you just say that this time?"

A man who always dares to use a lowly word returns to his original wording. I always smile, but today my mouth is not laughing.

When I first met him, when I first started the Weltem Chamber of Commerce, his eyes were like a wolf - but nobody believed me. Joyce is as ambitious as he once said to be at the top of an Albain merchant.

"Customer, 'How about an order?

"It's been a really long time, but I remember it. 'Milk'... otherwise, 'this is the only place I can drink, the recommended drink'"

"Yes, sir. Would you like to" blend with our specialty "?

"Yes, 'My Originals'"

When Joyce took off his coat, he always sat next to the seat where I was sitting. I'll focus on Verlaine and get a recipe for the liquor that matches Joyce today.

"You have been recognized as a special guest of our store. What's the story today?

"This guild's... no, I'm talking about you, so I'll get to know you."

I usually talk far away, but I still have a little time before lunch, so I don't have to worry about my surroundings. This time it's a special one.

"I left it up to you to run the dragon carriage, but it seems to be going well."

"Yeah, thanks. We have three flights on an experimental booking basis to carry people, but this is popular and the demand for more flights is discouraging. Some customers are asking me to give them a ride because I pay double the price. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a yearning for the sky."

"Even though your eyes are shining like that. You rode yourself, didn't you?

"It's the merchant's duty to experience what the customer is using…, I just want to dress up. To be honest, I felt like a boy. It's a life-changing experience to be able to travel back and forth between Seafast and King's City on the east coast in less than half a day."

Looking at Joyce talking excitedly, it seems that the cooperation in launching the dragon ride has produced good results in itself.

"... but yes. The carriage of dragons is going well, and the carriage union has made me suspicious this time."

"Bandits are attacking a carriage from Seafast to King's Landing."

"That's Mr. Dick, the quick talk. I don't know anyone but you, but God, who only speaks one word and transmits ten."

"Admittedly. In other words, the carriage union has been damaged, and the profit comes from riding dragons."

Joyce laughs so weakly that he shrugs his shoulders. I knew that the carriage union would feel a sense of crisis with the start of business of riding dragons. If bandits emerge there at the same time, it's not impossible to become suspicious.

"As you may know, Dick, I will never attack commercial enemies in a rude way. The president of the carriage union, whom I've known for a long time, suspects something that, honestly, cannot be helped."

"The carriage doesn't change the fact that it's used for transportation, and there's no such thing as competing jobs. I'm not impressed to doubt people so easily, but the bad news is bandits."

"Exactly. Originally, I should have brought in a request from the carriage association, but if I tried it on them, I would have stepped on it. They stole the cargo in a bandit raid, and they even paid for the assassination."

This man, Joyce, has made the most of his abilities just to make the Chamber of Commerce bigger for himself. Speaking of adventurer ratings, he is a person who reaches A rank with only his connections and talent as a merchant.

Still, I don't think that money is everything. That's why I can trust you and consult with merchants when I want to help.

"Dear customer, this is our original blend 'Flame Sky'"

When I was asked by Timmy and his party to crush the Fire Dragon, there was a drink called "Salamander's Bone Wine." It was made to be resistant to firefly dragon braces, but the "Salamander" tail-dried is also a precious antidote, and the soaked liquor is as powerful as Verlaine's favorite "Amritia".

Salamander's bright red body color, "Fire Lizard Tail", is dark enough to catch fire from the eyes if you drink it, but there is a way to refresh it. Divide with empty fruit juice that can be taken in the alpine zone called "Shinsky" - and the red liquor that hangs in the empty juice will look like the sunset.

"This is... the Fire Dragon Ranch, the predecessor of dragon transportation. Is it a liquor based on the image of Dick's firedragon raised there? It's totally stylish... but I feel like these hobbies have to be used to dictate women."

"Goho... alcohol is something to drink without thinking about innocence. That's not the main purpose."

"I see... I'm afraid so. I was going to make a serious request, but it wasn't a case of disintegration."

Joyce tilts a glass of wine. And I opened my eyes and admired - if I could surprise Joyce, whose tongue would be fat, it was worth having Verlaine make it for me.

"It's refreshing and easy to drink, even though you definitely feel the burning alcohol in your body. This sweetness and acidity seems like fruit... but I've never seen an empty juice before. Dick, you're a sinner. I want to buy something delicious on a route I don't know about."

There's a lot of stuff going on. If you become a regular member of the Cardila grocery store, you'll be able to split up what you get on your way to the store. "

"There will be a limited number of them, so they won't sell to merchants who are in mass distribution. No. Still, when is Dick checking the store's assortment? I can't believe you're busy passing by...."

"Among the busy things, it involves going around the stores you go to. This one still tells me to drink and treat myself, so it's impossible."

Verlaine says while wiping the glass. Joyce is laughing and I have no choice but to laugh bitterly-and even if they say I can't, I'm not going to change that style.

"When I first met him, I thought he was a brilliant but discreet boy. But when I realized it was just a play, I couldn't leave my husband... no. It's hard to see human beings like him."

"That's true. I noticed that there were more and more women entering and leaving the store, and I couldn't rest."

"Verlaine, you're out... well, let's just say that. Joyce, are you sure you want me to kill the bandits that are attacking the carriage union?

"Yes, for the reward, 5,000 gold coins as an advance. How about 10,000 for success?"

Depending on the size of the bandits, it's not strange to get that kind of reward. However, since the aim is to dispel suspicions from the carriage of dragons from the carriage union, we cannot let the Weltem Chamber of Commerce alone bear the burden.

"This amount is not enough for everyday patronage, but please accept it. If you offer more, Dick's husband won't take it."

"... okay. It's basically for the members involved in the work, so I can't help but make it cheaper for them."

"In the form of an organization called an Alliance, the only thing that doesn't charge adventurers is the Silver Bottle Pavilion, even if you're looking for the world. That's why there are some of the best adventurers in King's Landing, even if they don't know their names to a great extent. I'm also a small head of organization, so I really have a lot to learn... oh, you're talking too much today. This wine is really good.

When Joyce drank Flame Sky, he quietly placed the glass on the table and placed the contract for payment of the reward in front of me. And put gold coins at the counter to pay for the liquor, and stood up.

"I was going to take a little break when I finished my request, but I think I can still move."

"Don't overdo it. I need you to wait three days until this case is resolved."

I will call for the necessary members to be gathered early tomorrow, so it may be solved by tomorrow, but I don't know what will happen on the ground, so I will make it three days. Even if the quote is too short, it will put a lot of effort into Joyce when it takes longer.

But it seemed faster than expected in the setting, and Joyce answered with a smile, wearing a jacket and a hood.

"I can't believe Dick's husband said three days. It's easier to count on than anyone else says."

"... I think I told you before, don't you dare make a character?

It seems that Joyce is not going to listen to the advice, he was just laughing. Behind that slender attitude, it seems that only some people know that there is pride in a businessman who values his step-in-law more than anyone else - what I'm saying is completely different.

Verlaine looked at us and smiled after she dropped her guests off.

"He's also one of the ones who fell in love with your husband. She wanted to talk a little bit more, if time permitted."

"Do you think it's time to finish your work? Now...."

"When it comes to bandits, is it too exaggerated for your husband to go directly? You don't mind if I go and suppress you....."

"If there's any information on the strength of the bandits, we'll just have to look at it. We'll be able to deal with it at a party made up of one or two ranked adventurers."

I think Zeke will be overpowered, and Rigel, Ryan, and McKinley will have enough rookie Thio. However, because Zeke has the ability to incapacitate without hurting the opponent, he plays a role that no other member can play in interpersonal.

"Good morning! That said, it's already lunch... ah, Master! There are masters and masters!

Mizha, who came to do a waitress in the middle of the day, rushed towards us. The fox ears are moving happily, and the fluffy tail is swinging so vigorously that it looks like it will hit you if you stay close.

"Master, Mizha is no less skillful than my brother. Maybe we should leave it to the Crucifers."

"Eh... what? Could you let me do my job as an adventurer? I wish I could fight, because I've been getting ice out lately."

Just as there is a stoichistic demand for strength in Zeke, my sister Mizha also seems to have the temperament to find pleasure in the battle - Zeke of SS rank and Mizha of S rank even if it is not veterinized. If these two parties are here, we can leave them to them.

"... even if you're so safe, Master wants to be even more careful. Mizha, come to this room. Let's make sure you get the protection of your master."

"Eh... well, that's... eh, let's do it, we haven't done anything yet..."

"Ah, ahhhh... let me draw something if I can. I will be able to grasp the situation of Mizha and the others, but I won't be forced to say that I don't like it sometimes."

"No, that's not true, we're totally fine. Whatever you do, it takes about 24 hours a day."

Mizha puts her hand on her chest and says. I'm honestly glad you can trust me so much, but how about from Zeke?

Protecting is writing a mark on the body that mediates' small souls (small spirits) '- wouldn't Zeke complain about something like watching his sister? I'm a brother who understands things like that, so I'm sure he'll probably keep quiet.
