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

In the Silver Bottle Pavilion, it is the SS-ranked adventurer and Zeke Crucifer of the Shadow Shooter who is in a position to unite the Exploration Department and the Request Execution Department. The party he leads is called the second party, with the party led by the Alliance Master as the first party.

In addition to Zeke, only five SS ranked adventurers are currently based in King's Landing, including Leonid Balanch of the Black Lion Pavilion and Cashmere Kushrina of the Blue Maiden Pavilion. Because Shelley has greatly improved her combat rating after the Snake crusade, she is now awaiting certification to the SS rank, but it is no different that she is a small number that can be counted with her fingers.

There are fifteen other SS-ranked equivalents in Albain, but not all are active adventurers. There are about ten people hired as adventurers, and they are not always in a position to be hired in an emergency - or their rewards are too high to be hired. Strong is the value of adventurers.

But Zeke doesn't really focus on the amount of the reward. His guiding principles are to fulfill his obligations to his Alliance, and then to protect his sister Mizha, so that the third one finally follows his beliefs.

"Thank you, brother, for taking me with you."

Zeke was summoned by Dick and headed east in a six-person party. Borrowing a carriage from the carriage association, McKinley, who has your experience, steers the horse, with five passenger cars on board: Zeke, Mizha, Rigel, Rhea, and Thio.

Rigel is asleep without shaking, and Thio is sleeping with his head on Lia's shoulder. Beyond that, Zeke and Mizha's brothers and sisters sit.

"Master told me what happened. Something like auxiliary magic."

"Uhh, yeah... why don't you have your body paint a nice painting? If this happens, the master will always be able to protect you."

"... 'Lost Magic (Lost Spell)'... No, it's not. Probably magic letters (runes). Did the master paint it for you?

"Yeah... ah, I'm going to, no, Verlaine drew it for me instead. The master is ashamed of us because of the girls."

Mizha blushed her cheeks and panicked, but Zeke didn't move at all. Mizha sighs when she sees such a brother.

"Even the Master is worried about my brother. I knew we'd have to see it."

"... what are you talking about?

"Yeah, it's nothing. Brother, isn't it time for us to come down?

Zeke leaves the passenger car window to see the surrounding landscape. The carriage climbed a gentle sloping street from the plain to the mountainside forest.

--At that time, Zeke, Mizha, and Rhea felt a sign almost simultaneously.

"Can you park the carriage on the side of the road? It's not a good idea to keep going."

"Roger that. That's right, Rhea and the others are no match for the sound."

The passenger car has a window that allows you to speak to McKinley, who is in charge. McKinley followed Ryan's instructions and found a place to go in the woods by the road and parked the carriage in an invisible position.

"Nh... I'm sorry, Mr. Zeke. Was I asleep?

"Oh, you've been asleep for about half an hour. It's great to be able to sleep on this evil path."

Rigel, who was sleeping round, jumped when he noticed that the carriage had stopped.

"This is one of the few stunts I can sleep anywhere. I want to use my sword as a stunt."

"It's time for Tio to get up. It has a long forehead, but it's convenient for sleeping."

"I don't think I'm stretching out for that...."

Rigel laughs when she sees Zeke hanging out with her sister's joke. Tio woke up when she realized she was talking about herself.

"Nh... I'm sorry, Rhea-san. I leaned over and fell asleep....."

"Never mind, you should sleep when you can at work like this. Especially if it's still growing."

"I knew Ryan had gotten round recently, but the master still thinks he's a 'stoic swordmaster'."

"I haven't been able to talk slowly with him since he joined the Alliance... I guess his impression hasn't changed since the beginning. But even though I know Lord Kensei (Blade Saint), who is stronger than me, I am abstinent (Stoic)....."

Rhea still doesn't know who the Duke Solver is they admire. I was close to Dick and I thought I'd meet him at the Silver Bottle Pavilion, but I didn't see the opportunity.

"Are you saying that Mr. Duke and my master are stronger than our master?

"Duke is not a samurai, he is a scholar, and he is not comparable. You're both a benefactor to us, and we're targeting your back."

Liya answers Rigel's questions in good faith. Zed pulled out the slicer, checked the blade, listened to the two interactions while preparing for the fight, and said.

"... if you tell him that, the Master will also reduce his impression of Rhea. Now, let's get this conversation over with."

Zeke uses magic by touching the trees around the carriage after his friends get off the carriage and reach a certain distance. The Shadow Shooter is able to place a magical trap - a Shadow Sewing trap that is activated automatically in response to enemies approaching the carriage, and can be stopped on the spot if enemies get caught.

After feeding the horses with carrots, fruit, and water, Zeke killed the signs and moved through the woods, and carefully circled back behind the signs of the enemy, those waiting for the carriage.

(... Mr. Zeke, whatever I'm saying... are they strangely out of control?

After hiding in the shade of the tree and looking at the bandits, Rigel whispered.

Zeke looks around and figures out what the bandits are supposed to do when they attack the carriage. When the carriage passing through the street slows down on a gently bent road, knock down a wooden car loaded with logs and stop it. There, bandits laying face down in three places attacked.

Caravan guards are often placed in front of, behind, and in the middle of carriages, but they are weak in the way carriages are forced to park due to the fact that the guards are cavalry, increasing the risk of being trapped beforehand.

(Bandits must have watched because there was only one way to carry the cargo. If the stolen goods were to leave King's Landing, there would be many routes to follow.)

(Niisama, may I try it? I think it would be better to keep that tree car still.)

(Ah... be careful, ordinary people die easily from frostbites)

(Don't make such a mistake, the Master said he wanted to hand over the bandits to the guards, so he just had to make me feel a little cold.)

"Hey, don't be afraid to look adorable...."

"But I can count on you. Thio, for now, you just have to protect yourself."

"Ha, yes... I'll do my best..."

Thio had a spear longer than his height and was carrying it on the side of the carriage.

The spear she uses is the equivalent of her grandfather's Leonid - a spear that is gently held in one hand and held on to her back, but whose long forehair completely covers her eyes.

"Thio, I think it's time to cut my hair... because Liza is good at that."

"I'm sorry... but this will calm you down..."

Ryan laughed bitterly at Rigel's unconcerned suggestion.

"The most important thing for samurai is to keep a normal mind. As long as Thio calms down, the hair length is not a problem. And it takes determination for a woman to cut her hair."

"That's right, you know women best... wow, don't you just slap them?"

McKinley shrugs his shoulders as Ryan stares at him. Mizha weaves her jacket over a sleeveless close-armor and wears a hood before she starts moving without making any footsteps.

Looking at it from the side of the road, it is disguised as a branch, but bandits lurk on the other side. Armed with leather armor, armed with swords and axes - they look down the street and don't notice Mizha turning around behind them.

It's getting a little cold, but just hang in there.

Mizha pointed his palm up toward a wooden car with logs. Then, fufu, he exhaled.

― ― Ice Column Breathing Icicle Breeze ―

Breathing through, sparkling in the air - and before the bandits noticed, the wooden car wrapped in frozen air and froze in an instant.

"This is...."

"- Wait, don't touch it. Get away!"

If the bandits had touched the frozen car, they would have been subject to the freeze - Mizha thought she could have cleaned it up at first, but she wasn't upset that she didn't go as she tried.

"... little girl, did you do this?

"I wonder what I would do if I said that. Trying to catch us?

Mizha says to provoke - the five bandits have no words, no intention of even killing, just weapons.

(What, these guys... if I were a bandit, I'd be pretty frustrated. All five of you can't see any emotion at all.)

Looks more like a trained combat group than a bandit. Still, Mizha doesn't think her powers are losing to them - her acute hearing captures the sound of Zeke fighting bandits in two.

(It's been a long time since I fought like a human. Eileen, I think you can finally make use of what your sister taught you.)

The bandits remained silent - one of the closest to Mizha came in with a sword.

(What, this feeling... it's just no thrust...!

Bandits are treading faster than Mizha predicts. However, Mizha, who was ready to do his utmost from the beginning, followed the evil omens he felt and avoided them greatly rather than avoiding them with minimal movements.

"─!!

Almost silently, the bandit's sword - its blade 'opened'.

A trick weapon whose blade shape changes at the same time as the attack. It compensates for the lack of strength in complex mechanisms by covering the sword with magic.

Bandits used magic to strengthen their swords. Dick's Reinforcement Magic couldn't be helped, but Mizha couldn't help but open her eyes.

Two bandits threw daggers at Mizha, who avoided poking him. Not one, but a total of eight of them hit simultaneously - but

"--haah!

Instead of avoiding it any further, Mizha kicked him while taking off his jacket.

Eight daggers were bounced back and danced in the air with the metallic sound of Kim - Mizha wore a combat attire similar to Eileen's, and her legs had her toenails on them.

And the bandits couldn't respond immediately. At the same time as the kick, Mizha's tail paints a blue trajectory in the air - a freezing whirlwind winds up.

― ― Blue fox whirlwind tail Seikenpubi Snowwind Yuki cold ―

"Uhhhh... ahh...!!

The most adjacent swordsman is blown away by the intense freezing from Mizha's tail - and the other three fall back against the strong wind.

"--If you're blurry, it won't open.

"Ugh...!

"Ugh...!

Mizha puts his strength into his legs and explodes the accumulated power - leaving behind the image to fill the gap, blowing one person away with a kick, approaching the other in the next step, and knocking him down on the ground with a turning kick.

"--Fuck."

When the fourth man tried to say something, Mizha's heel was dropped on the sky. He avoided fatal wounds because he was wearing a helmet, but he stuck his knee in front of him.

"Don't be ridiculous, we're serious. I can't take it easy... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The last one looks at Mizha with an inorganic eye and answers nothing. Mizha learns the cold lies and takes an unexpected step back.

"Nh, what's wrong... no answer..."

"--its body is regarded as excellent"

A creepy voice that didn't come from the man in front of you. The next moment, the body of the bandits in front of you and the bandits who are lying down is wrapped in red light.

(I don't know what's going on here...!)

--We must leave as soon as possible.

Mizha's instinct appeals. However, she slightly delays her judgment due to her insistence that she cannot escape.

A red light from the bodies of five bandits hits Mizha.

Mizha thought they couldn't catch up with themselves or hit them at their own speed. But the red light was not as inevitable as Mizha's sight.

(Niisama, Master... I'm sorry, we...)

─ Insurance for times like this. Please rely on me, Mizha. "

Mizha, who had no choice but to stand in front of the imminent red light, certainly heard the voice - and...

"Gyah...!?

A fluorescent light pops out of Mizha's chest, and a boundary appears to protect her.

― ― Double cage of barriers Protective prisons Double cage ―

"Master...!?

"Small Spirit" is summoned using the magic letters written on Mizha's body as a medium. That tiny light, Dick's split, unfolds the defensive boundary without chanting - but the red light passes through the first barrier and merges with the second.

─ The more effective the magic wall is. I don't really like pushing...!

--The Quadruple Cage of the Wall Protective Prison Quadrable ---

The boundaries grew even more, and the red light that Mizha was trying to feed her was pushed back - and...

The red light fades, dissolves in the air, and disappears. Mizha sat on the spot and looked up at the fluorescent light that was floating.

"... Master, that's impossible... I can't believe I'm adding more defensive margins later... even one of them is really tough."

I will if I have to. Well, anyway... I'm glad you're safe. I should have come out a little earlier, but I wanted to keep an eye on him. "

"... I want to work hard as a member of the Alliance so that I can be ashamed of the Master... but I still can't do it at all. I don't have a master, not one of us....."

Zeke has entrusted a bandit's unit to Mizha, and he's doing a good job. But these guys aren't ordinary thieves... "

"Eh... Akan, my brothers may be in danger. You can't just come to us!

"Oh, I see... can we go? Mizha"

"Of course!

As Mizha stood up, she rushed to join her fellow fighters elsewhere - "Small Spirit", which housed Dick's will, flew ahead of her.
