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

After breakfast at the inn, we rested well and took action in the evening.

In the woods, just off the Elsein border. Five years ago, I chose to camp in the woods. We thought that if we didn't enter the Elsein side of town or village and use quite a bit of nerve to disguise ourselves with magic, our actions would be out of hand to the Devil's side.

Five years ago, we - especially me - knew that even if we were growing up now, we would be alert if we got close by accident.

After checking on them from as far away as possible, I waited as Miralka wished until five years ago when Miralka left the party.

Why I left the party - I remember that too.

Miralka and her policy collided and she got angry and left the party - I couldn't go after her right away, so I went looking for her a little late. I remember saying that Eileen and Cody would go, so I said I would take responsibility for it myself. Everyone was laughing, but I guess that's because I thought Miralka and I had a charming personality.

I don't remember Miralka wearing earrings at that time. Five years ago, Miralka received pierced earrings from the current Miralka, but she didn't wear them there immediately, and she began to wear them the next time she attacked the Demon King Army fort.

With that in mind, I waited for Miralka to return in the woods. When I spoke to myself five years ago, I was told that I was better off alone.

If you keep looking at Miralka five years ago, you will probably notice that she resembles herself. Of course, it's the same person.

Or I wonder if they might not have noticed - Miralka hid her clothes in the jacket she bought in the village and kept her face hidden. Even if you get suspicious, the trick to convince yourself is to say that you know it best.

Miralka will come back to see if we can get Pierce safely. She wasn't wearing a hood - she ended up showing her face, but she didn't find out. Miralka, five years ago, would never dream of seeing herself here in five years.

"Well done on passing the pierced earrings. That's me, you know what I mean?"

"I don't know... I wanted to see what happens when Miralka and Miralka talk."

"I don't think I should have much influence on the past, and if I look at you now, I'm sure I'll even notice the old me. Because there are parts of you that haven't changed, good or bad."

"I'm sorry I didn't grow up... even if I saw your face, you wouldn't notice me."

"Because there is no other atmosphere that seems different to you, so if I were you, I wouldn't have to notice. Even if you're being so modest, you'll have trouble reacting. You've grown up or surpassed."

Miralka laughs - so she realizes she made a joke. It is a form of surprise because I rarely say such things.

Now Miralka appreciates me, but when I was a kid, Miralka clearly recognized me after the demon Kingslayer journey - I guess I didn't realize it, but it was faster. I felt that my attitude gradually became softer.

"... what are you looking at? Now, let's go to the ruins. I was played after the time shift, but even five years ago, the place should have a time shift mechanism."

"Oh, I see. But... I don't think five years ago was a predetermined time. If we came by chance five years ago, it might be difficult to get back to the original time without figuring out how time shifted."

"What if...? If you can find out how long we've been here from the original time, you might get less skewed."

It is possible that our friends are trying to rescue us - if a master who knows about the "Star Relics (Stella Faction)" comes, we may be able to connect this time with the original time.

"Anyway, we'd better hurry... if everyone came to the labyrinth looking for us, we might run into Calvin."

"Well... I don't think Calvin and Fran are coming this way. The two of them were in front of the place where the room wasn't set up."

As a result of not involving Fran, Calwen also fell out of time. Even if you get involved and come here, I'm not going to be late this time.

"... you don't look worried or anxious."

"It's simple. Everyone is strong without me. I don't mean to mock myself, I really think so."

Miralka says nothing and just smiles. You deny my words, you stick with me - now it's all gone.

It is not lonely to change, and now everything can be perceived positively.

"I'm counting on everyone's help more than Miralka thinks."

"... say it like it suits you. Do you think you can still tell me that I don't believe you?

"I don't think so. No... I guess I should say it again."

All I have to say is that I will never betray you again.

But Miralka gently puts her index finger on my lips and smiles.

"After everything goes well, if you still want to say it, I think you can tell me then. I don't think it's like you to put everything too far into words. Even if it gets too round, it's going to change to something important."

"... is it okay for Miralka to have what she thinks is a 'good shape' now?

"That's right... I think I blew up a lot. Dick came into my heart and tried to wake me up... so I lost all my secrets..."

"Well, that's a little... I've seen it, but I'm not going anywhere I don't need it. I don't think I can do what I want."

"Are you sure...? I can't believe you're taking care of my mood."

If you say so, I'm worried about how far this is going to go.

I can't say I've been friends for a long time, and I don't need to be known. I'm a man, and Miralka is of the opposite sex, so there's nothing I want to hide.

"... is there something I shouldn't know?

"I can't say that's not true..."

"Fufu... honesty is a good thing. But I haven't told you what you're thinking either. You're not keeping your heart shut, but your defenses are so strong, they just told me you wanted to help me."

"Well, that's... that's not very clear..."

Miralka looks forward to my reaction. If I'm energetic enough to make that face, I'll be rewarded for everything.

"Now... shall we go? I hope we don't spend too much time at this time."

"Ah. To get back to that place, we'll have to take the river in the valley by boat...."

"I think it would be nice to have your magic carried. It's going to take time to train and feed the dragon."

With my magic - the power of the Wind Spirit - I can travel through the air. But then, inevitably, Miralka will be in charge.

"I don't mind... okay?

"Yeah, you wouldn't drop it, would you? Become my bird now, being heartless."

I shrug my shoulders and appeal to the surrounding wind spirits - spirits also have feelings and sometimes react to human actions.

"... does this mean that the Wind Spirit likes us? The signs of spirits are gentle."

It seems to me that Miralka and I are celebrating as husband and wife, is it okay to tell me - I will keep quiet because I am troubled if Miralka changes her mind here.

"Spirits are willing to obey if they don't order anything hostile or undesirable to themselves."

"... why don't you give me a lecture on spiritual magic? Then I can teach Manarina as an instructor."

"I'll think about it. I'm only an Alliance Master."

I was beginning to wonder if you would say such a thing now - Miralka seems to have started worrying about being carried by me. At first, she looked like a cat that she borrowed when she was lifted.

"... it feels so stable. I don't think there are any good guild masters as vehicles."

"If you're a big Wesen Alliance Master, you might be able to ride somebody."

As we speak, our bodies soar up in the night sky - raising their altitude so that they will not be found by us five years ago.

Miralka will hold on to me. The chest plate was sparingly soft, and the moonlight alone made her red to her ears.

But now you won't need any innocent words. The moon is beautiful and we just enjoy the sky for a while.

"... you and Sphere took an aerial walk at night, right? She said she was so happy."

"You must be pretty worried about us... we have to go home soon."

"I suppose it's normal to worry about going home. It doesn't normally work for us... and I think you'll be able to handle it because you're calm."

That said, Miralka hugs me more firmly - it took a lot of restraint to keep her posture under control, but she managed not to look different and headed straight for the ruins of the Northern Valley Labyrinth.
