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

Some of the foodstuffs found in the bandits' towns and villages were attacked and stolen by carriages, while others were allegedly procured in nearby towns and villages. It's not uncommon for bandits to sneak into town and procure supplies - we almost destroyed the bandits, but we told Joyce we needed to be alert to the rest for a while.

"I'm sure Dick's guild will do his job without any backlash, but I'll advise the carriage union to hire a strong escort for a while."

The work of adventurers will increase for some time - just in case, an A-rank adventurer will be needed to escort the carriage, so I decided to consult with Leonid and Shelley and carry the carriage association escort around. The Carriage Club also takes care of the Adventurer Alliance, so keep your rewards down.

When it was told that the Weltem Chamber of Commerce had moved on behalf of the carriage union, the president of the carriage union could not completely dispel the suspicion, but the suspicion almost seemed to have cleared up. By communicating the actual situation of dragon riding transportation to some extent, it was also understood that the role played in transportation is different from that of the carriage association. This will also allow carriages and dragon riders to work together.

After the second party returned to King's Landing, in the office on the second floor of the Guild House, he showed Master the "Collar of Servants" that Zeke and the others had brought home.

Looking at the collar, Master still clouds his expression. Before taking it, magically perform an appraisal, then confirm that there is no remaining surgical technique before taking it.

Some magic objects are like a trap that activates magic by targeting only a target. Even if it already looks broken, I can't be alarmed.

"... I didn't make this. I don't think there's anything like it in the ruins labyrinth."

"Well... we definitely retrieved all the collars. However, the technique of making this collar resembles that of Master's..." The Forsaken People. "

"That's... right. Did you find it in another ruins labyrinth, or..."

Belsalis, a floating island under King's Landing, is where the master was born. And if you have a technology close to it, it could be "Kvaris" on the same floating island.

However, it is temporally difficult to get the collar and manipulate the bandits, even if someone thought of breaking into "Kvaris" and could do it. It would be natural to assume that it was obtained elsewhere.

"The ruins of the country enter the Labyrinth without a 'Royal Sign'... is there anyone with that kind of power? Or...."

"Can you think of it as coming from outside? Either way, what do you have to do, master, to pick up something like that from the" information network "in Japan?

"Nh... when did you get in? You can come in, but say no."

My master and I were sitting on the sofa talking, but Verlaine was about to come in and turn around behind me. I didn't even notice it until I put my hand on my shoulder - not to mention that if Verlaine tried her best to get rid of the signs, she would pierce my gap.

Verlaine didn't look bad and grabbed my shoulders with both hands before she let go. The shoulders aren't stiff apart, but it looks pretty comfortable if you let it go - so don't get caught up in the former demon king's surgery.

"If that collar wasn't made by Lord Rimserit, it's good to find out who made it. Don't you have to look so serious?

"That's right... it's uncomfortable that you haven't been able to grasp their footprints. You will forgive the opponent's precedence."

"I think it was the performance that manipulated the bandits. Show me how you can do this and see what kind of response you can take... it seems like you value the other person too much, but I'm not too prepared for it."

Performance reminds me of the bandits who fought with Zeke.

I wish I could have prevented that red light, but what would have happened if I hadn't - if Mizha had been manipulated and turned against the enemy, the situation would not have been good. I could have prevented it with the Magic Wall, but it's been a long time since magic could not be analyzed with just one look.

"If it's a performance... you've provoked us to go out. It also seemed like Mizha was trying to draw him into combat. The collar was worn by the leader, but it also acted as an intermediary to control all sixteen bandits."

"It's completely different from what I made... or, if the collar was mediating, the magic that was planted there was powerful."

"Hmm... that's what happens if there's no power left in the collar itself. If you can't be surprised and wear a collar, it won't be a problem."

"Mother Vale, is it time you didn't take a bath? I asked the Spirit-san to keep the water warm."

Sphere is just coming out of the shadow of the door. Maybe he's already ready to take a bath, or he's naked - should we tell him to be ashamed of himself as a father, or should we leave him to everyone?

Um, thank you. I've come to call on Lord Limserit, but if your husband is with me... it's not too bad that we're alone... "

"Nh... no, Dee, I don't know if you're in hot water or not with me anymore..."

I can't imagine the seriousness of the old master, or the part that made me feel the darkness has disappeared completely. Of course, that's a good thing, but if you feel guilty about me, you should tell me many times.

"Master, if you don't mind, I don't care about the old days."

"Uh-huh... I know that. But, Dee, are you okay? If you come in with us, it's gonna be a lot of trouble... hey, Vel."

"Uhh... I think it's the maid's job to go ahead and wash my husband's back whenever I have to call..."

"Um... I'd like to join you again if I were your father. I like looking at your father's back."

Looks like I'm being shown my father's back by Sphere - and I'll keep a clean eye on him. Master and Verlaine look at us as if they were expecting something, but now there's nothing else to pretend not to notice.

Once you get down to the tavern, when the night shift is over, you help out with the shop and stop the halibut from going up.

"Ah, it's raining. Dana, can I borrow some rain gear?

"There's a coat and an umbrella that plays with water. You want to use Ramsath?

"In my country rain is said to be a blessing of God, Death. When it rains, everyone goes out to the street and dances with joy."

"It sounds like fun, but if you do that, everyone's going to catch a cold. Dana needs to sleep warm."

When Hale said something like my sister, she went home wearing a waterproof jacket with other employees.

Although it rains a lot this time of year, it hasn't rained this much in a long time. There's lightning, and I hope it doesn't hit the building.

"Dad."

"Nh... Sphere, what's wrong?

Already out of the bath, Sphere, who was supposed to be in the bedroom with the Verlaines, came downstairs.

"... the Spirit of Water and the Spirit of Lightning seem to be acting strange."

"Are you saying the weather is getting worse?

"Yeah, that's not it...."

Sphere was trying to convey something, but he couldn't seem to find the right word.

"If you're worried, say anything."

"... Mother Miralka, you're okay. She said she needed help, but when it gets dark, she'll go home and be all alone."

Speaking of being alone against Miralka is likely to say that it is overprotective - Sphere will know that, and if you still say that you are worried, there is a good reason.

Sometimes you can only feel the magical connection between Miralka and Sphere. If Sphere says he's worried, it's my job to fix it.

"All right, all right. I'll go to Miralka's house and see what happens."

"Hmm... can I go too?

"I'll catch a cold when I get out of the bath. Could you wait with the three of you?"

"... okay. Dad, be careful. I'll be waiting for you."

I can't hide that I really want to follow you, but Sphere put up with it. When I stroke my head, Sphere tickles.

"Oh, yeah, I just got out of the bath and I can't do this."

"Yeah, thanks, Dad."

When you look at Sphere holding my hand, your chest is filled with relief several times. The artificial spirit may not catch a cold, but I still want to treat her like a human being.

"Please give my regards to Miralka, Master. If it's going to be too late... no, don't tell the wilderness."

"Dee, don't catch a cold."

Verlaine and Master were also listening - if nothing else happened, I'd just look at Miralka's face and make sure she was safe.

The rain shows no signs of weakening. I had lent out all my coats, so I took my umbrella and walked out under the rain sky lit by the moon.

After returning home from college, I took dinner with the maid Fran and went back to my room once.

Since there was a fairy bird who noticed the rain, open the bird basket on the balcony and transfer it to the indoor basket. It was a very small but clever bird, so I moved away from myself without saying anything.

After that, while I was keeping my diary, I fell asleep. When I realized it, Fairy Bird also fell asleep in a tree stop in the cage.

"...... nh......"

I feel dizzy trying to get up. You have a cracking headache, and if you stay there for a while, the waves disappear.

I remember when I didn't have the Sealed Earrings yet. After using powerful magic, I was bound to suffer from a terrible headache - my first motivation for joining the Demon Kingslayer was to gain magic suppression, not fairy birds.

I remember when I got my earrings on my journey. Where and what is that wizard woman doing now?

Don't think about things that you hold back now. I just need to be able to control my magic - the time has come to do so.

I can hear Fairy Bird's little chirp. I may have worried you as you watched me - it's okay, my headache is already relieving.

"I'll see what's going on down there. Though I think the doors are properly closed....."

After I speak to Fairy Bird, I leave the room wearing a gown. Downstairs, Fran, the maid, was in the living room.

It's usually time for me to go home, but maybe it stayed because the rain got stronger.

"Fran, are you staying today?

Even if she knows how to defend herself, she should take care of herself on rainy nights. That's what I call it.

"... yes, Miss Miralka. Thank you for your concern. But you don't have to."

"Fran...?

--If she's her usual girlfriend, she'll never reply with her back to me.

If I had been late in my vigilance, I would not have noticed. A magical sign that doesn't belong to Fran, covering her body around her neck.

"Now, let's come together... there's someone who needs you...!

Looking back, she always smiled brightly at Fran - but her eyes were different from those of the gentle light I knew.

"Kh...!

The more Dick reinforces me with magic, the less I pull the party legs. But now, when I was young, it was all I could do to avoid the combination of francs that corresponded to B rank.

― ― And avoiding the franc at the last minute means that it cannot be avoided. I was grabbed by the sleeves of my clothes and pulled down on the spot.

(Fast... so fast... no, no...)

"Miss... don't you want to meet someone who empowered me? I'm sure we'll be able to solve your problem soon."

Fran would never say such a thing. If you can think about it - someone is manipulating it with magic or magic tools.

"Do not resist. Otherwise, you will sleep."

"Kh... ahh...!

My arms are pinned down and I feel pain. Even if it is not broken, it cannot escape the franc.

I am not suitable for melee combat. Cody and Eileen were always in the vanguard, and Dick looked backwards, so I never got into this mess.

--if you want to get close to Dick. I had to lose my weakness.

Rather than regret it, there are things we must do now. To help Fran.

"... this is a bad dream... I'll wake up soon, Fran..."

"No, it's not a dream. Young lady, from now on..."

― ― Limited extinction type 66 Particle fracture team ―

Even if you look behind you, if you recognize the other person, you can analyze their shape and outfit.

And I understand that Fran has a leather collar on her neck that doesn't resemble her. I wonder if that's manipulating her.

"Wake up, Fran...!

The deployed magic team cut Fran's collar.

--At that moment, I felt like I heard someone who wasn't here.

In the Kingdom of Albain, umbrellas are the rainwear of only aristocrats and some wealthy families. The general public wears a non-leather coat and wears a hood to prevent getting wet and deprived of body temperature. Even in my hometown of Mountain Village.

Miralka used an umbrella when she met him at college on a rainy day. I suggested drying my wet clothes and hair with my spiritual magic hot air, but Miralka told me not to go that far.

Does that remind you of Miralka?

The look of Miralka that she showed when Sphere disappeared - she always looked at me with a strong eye and moved her heart to the shabby figure that she showed me without hesitation.

I'm sure Miralka would be either angry or stunned.

"Don't think I'm crying without you."

I suppose that word told me not to worry.

At the same time, it was also a word expressing the strength of Miralka. She said she had more to do than care about herself - if she took everything in the right direction and affirmed everything about Miralka, would she be mad at me?

After that, when I think about Miralka, I don't think I'm in a flat state. What would have happened if no one had come at that time? Imagine that I am a much less restrained person than I thought, not completely restrained.

Instead, it's time to make sure Miralka's safe. I'm worried about Sphere with a magical connection to my mother, so I should be careful not to let the dangers that I don't understand happen in the King's City now.

It rains even harder, and thunderbolts resound in the distance. I still feel uncomfortable walking with an umbrella when I think about the old days.

I didn't hate getting wet in the rain. This was because the master preferred to walk in the rain rather than lift an umbrella.

The habits and mindsets I acquired when I was a child are not that different. If that's not particularly bad, you don't have to change it.

As you pass north on 12th Street, you'll see the way to Magic University. There are no barrows left in the thick roads built to allow the carriage to pass.

But as I looked further down the road of rain and muddy soil, which began to fall about an hour and a half ago, I noticed that the footprints of one person were broken along the way.

A large tree that will be used by magic college students to meet around here. Below is a figure standing without an umbrella in the rain.

"... Mira..."

When I tried to call my name, the flash blinked.

It was undoubtedly Miralka who was there. Wear the blue clothes you always wear - but don't wear hair accessories.

Wet hair covers one eye. The other eye does not contain the usual pleasant light.

"Poor disaster." The kingdom's mightiest wizard whose beauty is glorified by all the people of King Alvinas, and whose reverence and vision await him.

She always looks confident and proud - suddenly she breaks the balance so that the thread breaks off.

"....."

― ― Miralka!

Rush over to embrace Miralka's body. I had to use my arms, and I had to throw the umbrella I had.

Even considering that the clothes are wet, the body is as cold as ice. Were you hit by rain for a long time? What happened?

Everything should be heard after Miralka happens. I know someone at the eleventh street clinic, so I think I'll bring them in - but...

"... Dick... in my house..."

"Miralka... I'm glad you lost your mind..."

I couldn't finish the words of relief that came out of my mouth.

Miralka reached out and grabbed my chest. It's not strong, but you can't shake it - just look at its eyes.
