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

The next day, before the tavern opens for lunch. After I helped prepare in the kitchen, I tried to go to the intelligence department in the seventh quarter - but before leaving the shop, the bell rang to let the visitors know.

"I'm sorry, but it's not open yet...."

The breathtaking Manarina - the princess came running this far. There is only one thing that needs to be done so quickly.

Taking off the hood of the jacket, Manarina showed her face. The face was pale - Verlaine came out of the counter and wiped her forehead sweat with a handkerchief.

"I'm sorry...."

"Here you go. I don't have to say anything about the" order "of regular customers."

"... thank you. I was wondering if I could tell Dick... but I didn't think I could do what she said."

It occurred to me that she meant Miralka. I wonder why Manarina left here herself.

"From Magic University, Miralka is gone... that's what I'm talking about."

"... yes. There was a note that I would go to the experiment. Don't let Dick and the others know yet."

If the Guild's Intelligence Department doesn't know about it and you can get out of King's Landing, there are two possibilities. One is when the person who made the 'Slave Collar' took Miralka - and the other one.

If Miralka leaves King's Landing of her own volition.

She is undoubtedly the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, the user of destruction magic. But what she calls' destruction 'is not just used to attack.

Miralka also has the ability to visualize and disable magical tricks - if she disables part of the information network that monitors the King's City and leaves it, there is no other way to stop it but to watch it nearby.

"Master, can't you imagine that Miralka has been transferred?

"Ah... Manarina, can I get into Miralka's lab? There may be a clue."

"Yes, I'll show you right away... * giggle *!

"I'm sorry, but I'll take care of it. This is the fastest way so far."

"Ha, yes... please, Dear Dick..."

"Verlaine, go to the ranch and bring Banning. You may need to explore from the sky."

Verlaine nodded and descended into the basement with a magical formation leading to the ranch. Instructing Master to stay in the Guild House with Sphere, he hurried to Magic University with Manarina - hiding behind the magic of "Hidden (Hiding)" and flying over the roof of the building.

◆ ◇ ◆

I use my student ID as "Duke Solver" and get admission permission from Pollon who was at the reception. There were many things in King's Landing, but she did not leave King's Landing at a time when the earthquake increased and continued to work.

"Professor Miralka is absent, so please return to reception when you leave for the room key."

"Oh, thank you. Miralka... do you know where the professor went?

"No, I haven't heard from you yet... Professor Miralka is only in charge of special lectures, but I haven't scheduled them for a while. Is it a private trip?"

I don't think I ever travel without telling anyone. But I couldn't help worrying about Pollon, and I just thanked him and went to the lab.

"Duke, I don't know what happened to Miralka...."

Miralka wanted to be strong. He said he was jealous of me and his fellow trainees.

I studied as a student in the lab and accompanied him to an outdoor experiment. But it's different from practice - research to write a thesis alone can leave knowledge behind for backwards, but her purpose will not be fulfilled.

She never thought 'I retired from the Demon King Enemy'. The same was true of Miralka, who thought she still had to be strong.

"... I'm sorry. I didn't realize it until she was gone, but I put the blame on Mr. Duke...."

"I won't leave it to you. I'm responsible for what happened."

"Mr. Duke...."

The "Collar of Slaves" that was manipulating the bandit leader. The red magic of the bandits - and the fragments of the collar - were also found in Miralka's Mansion.

Why didn't you ask Miralka if she had anything to hide?

If Miralka has something to say to me, there must be a reason.

If she's about to get caught up in something, there's only one thing I should do. If Miralka is trying to do something of her own volition and it doesn't go in the right direction for us - then stop.

"... was Miralka worried after all? That... with Dick-sama..."

"No, no, that's not all there is to it... maybe."

"I'm sorry, I was told to call you Duke in college, but..."

"It would be helpful if you could do that, but you don't have to worry so much now. Let me see what Miralka wrote."

Manarina nods and brings me a letter on the table she uses to discuss. When I opened it, it said that I would open the lab for a while, that I would go out of King's Landing - and that I would not let us know about it.

There is no disturbance in the handwriting. And it was also Miralka's handwriting street, which I know. There is no sign of any magic on the paper.

From this room, Miralka is out without contention - again, of her own volition.

(But if someone is interfering... we have to follow Miralka)

"Master Duke, did... Miralka take this off?

"This is...."

I remember what Miralka looked like last night. I noticed when I was drying my hair - she was removing the earrings she was always wearing.

The pierced earrings remain on Miralka's desk.

Miralka took his earrings off while fighting "Kvaris". To unleash the magic that is suppressing.

The pierced earrings are losing power. Miralka had reached her end of life by keeping her power down for a long time - so Miralka is now.

--I just don't want to be a scared wizard.

--If this is the "shackle" for that, I don't mind wearing it all the time. Still, there is no inconvenience.

Miralka got those pierced earrings in the middle of the demon king's crusade. When did that happen - certainly in the woods where the camping took place?

"Miralka is important, so I wonder if she left it here...."

"No... if it were, I'd leave it at home. I think Miralka was trying to repair this piercing. This should be what Miralka needs."

This is not an unfounded speculation. There are signs of openings on the shelves holding the Magic Stones in the lab - all close to the stones used in the earrings.

However, I have checked this stone before, but the material is not clear. No, I shouldn't have known at the time - now there is a master who knows more about the materials used for magic tools than I do.

"Deliver the pierced earrings to Miralka. I'm sure Miralka wanted you to find it."

"... thank you."

"Nh... no. I can't tell you how much I feel about Miralka... but that's what I want to understand."

The feeling is probably also conveyed to Miralka. Once the information is gathered, there's one thing to do - report it to Sakuya, tell him I'm moving, and I'll go find Miralka.

─ Master, I'm taking Banning up to the sky now. Did you find any information on Miralka's footprints? "

I can hear Verlaine's voice through the magic trick of hearsay. It hasn't been long since Miralka left a note in this room - if we don't use methods like metastasis, we may still be in range.

"Manarina's thoughts should have been conveyed to Miralka. I will bring her back."

"Yes... please. This is the second time you've asked Dick. Thank you for your help at this important time."

Manarina smiles - but she can't hide her anxiety completely.

"If you worry too much, you'll worry about Manarina's body. It may be difficult to be reassured, but please stay calm."

"Yes, Dear Dick. Good luck."

When you take my hand, Manarina closes her eyes to pray. When I left the lab behind, I jumped up onto a tree in the courtyard and jumped further and was picked up by a Verlaine driven banning.

"I found Miralka's notebook and the pieces of decoration (earrings) I left behind."

"It... seems to be worn all the time, but doesn't it seal the magic?

"That's right. It seems that Miralka has had enormous magic since she was born... when she traveled with us, she was still out of control. But I was recognized as a SSS rank because I had so much magic."

"... her magic was already finished when she fought me. Still in a state of restraint... it was a miracle child."

Banning went up in altitude - when an impatient voice from Sakuya on the ground arrived through the earrings of the hearsay.

Master, this is a report from a floating battleship. I am not sure if it was caused by Miralka, but I am detecting a powerful magic vibration from the northwest direction of the King's capital. "

"Okay... Northwest. I'm going to use the Fire Dragon to speed things up."

"--Master, something is coming from that direction...!

It was precisely that moment when the banning turned and changed direction.

Miralka once said that the wilderness, which stretches northwest from King Alvinas, was said to have been used in magic experiments in the past.

Along with Verlaine, I saw a magical formation spread out over a vast area. It was undoubtedly the magic of Miralka's formation.

"... is this the Miralka's power? More powerful magic than the one you used against" Kvaris "... have you ever put this power to sleep...?

Too much force breeds fear. Lie down without revealing your power as much as possible so that people are not afraid. I thought Miralka had my thoughts that we should.

I think it should be stronger than it is now, but when did you move her? Or is Miralka being manipulated by someone else - I don't want to think she's going to turn to the enemy, but the sight at hand shows the possibility.

The vanishing tip - the wilderness terrain - is changing dramatically. A vast area is cut in a circle, with a person dressed in black standing in the center.

I used the magic of vision enhancement to find out who it was - I was at first wondering if I could say that name.

"... Miralka... Elise..."

If she deems it necessary, she may use magic to return all of a fortress to the sand.

But not now. Why Miralka used so much magic - I can only think of one reason right now.

Verlaine, I'll go alone first.

"But, Master... no, I understand. That's what we should do."

I'll help Verlaine with the rope she's holding. And I called Banning.

Maximum acceleration, Banning.

"Ghhhhhhh!!

― ― Guren metastasis flame boost ―

The banning spreads its wings and accelerates with all its strength - accelerating as it is wrapped in flames and jumping towards a huge hole.

Miralka notices me. Lookingly looking up at me, I thought it was beautiful enough to tremble.

― ― Miralka!

After calling his name, Miralka reached out to us. Without killing or anything, she developed a three-dimensional magic formation for me.

Wizard's weakness must be approached while chanting. Organize a party to make up for it, complete the chant, and unleash magic to change the situation.

― ― Metastatic transient foot (warp boost) Residual empty foot (area shadow) ―

I change direction in the air so I don't get into formation. And the movement around the three-dimensional magic formation depicts the trajectory of the helix - but.

"--Did you think you'd be helpless if you closed the distance?

Zokri, chills run through. The magical formations unfolding forward are braided to a height high enough to penetrate the sky at a terrible speed - like a tower.

I had decided that I couldn't use another magic at the same time.

But Miralka waved her hand as she looked back at us. At the same time, the magic team unfolded - it was a black magic team different from what she always used.

― ― Distributed Destruction-type Untyped Flowerless ―

"Kh...!

Unprecedented Magic Faction - Black Faction emanating from Miralka's arm follows her shaking arm across a wide area.

Enhanced vision captures a magical formation that expands at incredible speed. Normally, magical formations composed of geometric patterns are composed of flower-like patterns - the contours that make up the flowers are woven with a high density of magical expressions.

"Flowers are the most beautiful when they scatter."

It's no longer reasonable - I avoided Miralka's attack and triggered an instantaneous transition.

― ― Shura Residue Transition Transient Speed ―

The black force that ripped out the space ruptured and shattered - literally destroyed the space.

The destroyed space dances like a black petal. If you touch it, you can't just touch it.

Miralka didn't feel like getting any worse. He undoubtedly turned to me for real magic.

"Now... what's the matter, Dick? Another piece of magic is complete."

"Miralka... wait, why do I have to fight you...!

"--You didn't draw your sword. Without you, I wouldn't be a member of the Demon King Crusaders... so incomplete and insufficient."

While Miralka's magic destroyed the space, our voices were blocked - but only Miralka's could be heard clearly.

"If I'm the most powerful wizard, I can't lose magic to the" Fifth of Forgotten. "Isn't it? Dick."

I imitated her magic and borrowed its help - how it seemed to Miralka.

I think I can fight alone, and I don't need Miralka. Even if I didn't think about it, if Miralka was picked up differently...

"Nothing wrong with you. Just neglected to make me stronger... without the power to get rid of the 'Kvaris', one day I won't be able to protect the things I care about."

"Miralka, that's...!

That's not true. We could have gotten stronger at the party - the words came out of our throats, but they didn't make a sound.

I thought I had to stop myself, too. It's better than hurting someone else, and if it kills you, it's my choice.

Is that acceptable to Miralka and everyone? I lost sight of it once.

"You're trying to help me. I must reject it. I have something to protect."

--Behind my head is a magical instrument similar to the collar of a slave picked up in Miralka's house. I thought someone was trying to "get to Miralka."

But Miralka's words create another possibility.

Servant who works at Miralka's house. Whether the woman is back home safely or not.

Even if it was concealed to scratch my eyes...

"Did you take hostages... Miralka, I see...!

She won't answer. Flipping in the air, staring at me again - and then making it disappear from your face.

That's just the trigger. I have no excuse for what I'm doing right now. "

I can't see, but I can only hear voices. A voice that is cold but whose core strength remains unchanged.

I wanted to fight you. You know how long you've thought that, don't you?

Until this moment, Miralka has continued to develop a massive three-dimensional magic formation that reaches the heavens.

The three-dimensional magical formation that was shining blue changes black - and the black flowers that scatter with destruction bloom.

― ― Multiple Destruction Model Untyped Tower Flower ― ―

What you imitated was a zero formula... the first point I reached. But zero is similar to nothing. "

I can't beat Miralka in my Zero Formula. I hear voices as if I were going to pronounce them - but...

"Unfortunately... I'm the one who gave up badly...!

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

The magic released from Miralka's arms and used to fight back. We have not been able to analyze all of the principles, but we have learned something.

Miralka's destructive magical aggressiveness, suppressed by pierced earrings. Miralka said she didn't use magic to hurt people - but under that constraint, her devastation magic was unparalleled.

But now Miralka is using her magic to defeat me. The magic team she created for this purpose is different in dimension from the team magic she has been using - it does not detach and destroy the bond of matter, but goes further.
