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

--The Guild of the Red Twin Pavilion, Main Building, Street 9, Alvinus, the Royal Capital

It was early in the morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn white.

Sheryon and Lotte, the guild master sisters of the Red Twin Pavilion, left a message on the desk they use for their duties as guild masters and went outside with their backpacks filled with their belongings.

'Shelly, Lotte, are you sure you want to do this?

The one who was waiting for me with her back to the gate was Irene, who had also prepared for her trip. But she was, as usual, dressed lightly, carrying only the bare minimum of street silver and a water bottle.

I'm going to go look for her because I feel more comfortable than staying in King's Landing like this.

I am of one mind with you, sister. I think it's safe to say that the guild members are in good hands these days.

The two of you are the idols of not only the Red Twin Pavilion, but of adventurers all over King's Landing. I'm sure there are a lot of men who would lose their motivation.

"I don't care about that. I don't care about that. I'm not interested in men other than Dick.

I'm not interested in men other than Dick. - Oh, sister, you can't be so direct. ...... What the hell is he doing?　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.

Lotte glared at Irene. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm sorry,......, but you shouldn't interfere with an adventurer's work from the side.

I'm sure Dick will be happy to hear that. I'm sure he'll be back soon, but I thought I'd check in with my folks sooner rather than later.

"Eileen, ...... are you going back home?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't think Dick will be happy with me dawdling around like this. That's why I thought we should start all over again.

...... Yeah. We'll go with you halfway.

Thank you. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following address: ...... I thought about traveling alone, but I would be happy if Shelley and Lotte came with me.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that," he said, "and so will ...... we. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

"Oh, really?　I'm a little embarrassed to hear you say that again.

Irene was smiling cheerfully, but both Shelley and Lotte knew it painfully.

For the past year, Irene had been working as a free adventurer for the Silver Water Bottle Pavilion as usual in the royal capital.

As a martial artist with a rank beyond SSS, there was no request she couldn't accomplish. Still, with Dick around, no matter what the task, Irene would have been able to gain a special kind of fulfillment other than being thanked by the client.

His presence in King's Landing was enough to support Shelley and Lotte and give them a sense of purpose in their days.

You will find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier, but you can't fool yourself into believing that he will come back one day.

"...... Hey, Shelly. How long have you been in love with Dick?

Irene's question was the same as saying that she had been aware of Shelley's feelings for a long time.

She was always cheerful and jovial, the mood maker of the Demon King defeating team. She was always cheerful and jovial, the mood of the Demon King's defeating team.

She thought she knew the sensitive side of the woman she was, "From the first time we bumped into each other at work. Dick never got mad at me for being cocky. It didn't matter that I was a warrior, he treated me like a girl.

"...... That man is sneaky. I thought that all the men who came close to my sister were enemies, and I even bit him, but ...... he didn't care about me at all. On the contrary, he treated me as if I was his sister. ......

Irene also thought of herself as Dick's big sister, but she always found herself rolling in his arms.

She thought that she would only fall in love with a man who was stronger than her and who was not a demon, but Irene was not aware of the difference in race when it came to Dick. Dick also didn't care if Irene was half demon or not.

The sisterhood is the most complicated thing. Miraluka was once troubled by the fact that people only saw her that way. I'm not even considered a woman yet. ......

...... That's not true. Dick relied on Irene for help. He was grateful that she was working with him in the guild.

I think that Dick was aware of Irene as a woman. Not only did he put his trust in her as an adventurer,......, but you can tell by looking at her.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　In the event that you have any questions concerning where by and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

I'm sure you're not the only one who thinks I'm sloppy. ...... Even I sometimes think he's conscious of me, so Dick is just patient.

I'm sure you're right.　I thought your sister might be conscious of me, but I thought she was completely oblivious to me. ......

I was wondering if you're aware of me at all." "Haha, you're twins, what are you talking about? If Shelly is conscious of you, then Lotte must be too. ...... Oh, should I not have said that?

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and the best way to get in touch with your loved ones, please do not hesitate to contact us.

If we talk like this, won't Dick start to hate us?

"I don't think so. I don't think so, but Dick is so kind that he won't tell us exactly who his true love is, even if he knows who it is.

I'm sure you're not the only one.　I heard that His Highness Manalina mentioned that she was asked to be the king and she declined.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to do.

The two of them blushed at the same time and seemed to want to say something. Their mouths are moving, but their voices are not.

In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I can't wait for ...... Dick to come back. ...... I can't wait any longer. I'm going to go look for him.

--I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you.

The three of them look at the eastern sky.

There's nothing there. There were only white clouds and birds flying in the distance.

Still, the three of them were running.

Driven by an unreasonable premonition, the three of them ran like the wind through the royal capital in the early morning - leaving behind the luggage they would need for their departure at the guild.

The time has come.

The time goes back a little, to the church district in the western part of the royal capital Alvinus.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

Good morning, Yuma. I'm sorry, am I interrupting anything?

No, I knew you were coming, Rimcelit. I've been waiting for you, praying for you.

Rimcelit smiled and lined up next to Yuma, praying to the statue of the goddess.

...... I used to think that there was no God in the world.

Rimcelit says something that would be hard for an Arbeinist to keep calm if he heard it. Still, Yuma listened quietly to her friend's story.

I don't remember anything about the fall of the floating island, all I know is that I'm a 'relic' and I've been living alone for a long time. I made a guild here in the capital, but I still felt that I was alone. If I stayed in the same place forever, everyone would become parents, have children, grandchildren, and then grow old and die. It was hard just to witness that, even for one person.

Everyone leaves Rimcelit behind. After repeated goodbyes, Rimcelit wanted to end her own life.

When I met Dee, I knew she was the one. When I met Dee, I knew she was the one. Dee was alone, and she seemed to be desperate for people. ...... But she was different from me. It is best for Dee to live among people. It's a shame that you feel betrayed by your master.

"...... Rimcelit-san could have gone after Dick-san at any time. But he didn't.

But he didn't." "Because it would be scary if a grown man like me was chasing after a child like Dee. How ...... I thought that I could always catch Dee if he went away. I knew better than anyone that he might become stronger than me.

Why would Rimcelit do something like that? Even if she didn't say why, Yuma could sense it.

The vibrations of Rimselit's soul tell her. Yesterday, she had tried to go on a journey to find Dick, but had been discouraged from doing so.

'...... It's funny, I've been alive for over two thousand years. It's funny, I've been alive for over 2,000 years and after only one year I get so lonely that I can't stop crying and want to die again. Dee, you're going to laugh at me.

A few tears ran down Rimcelit's cheeks. She covered her face and shook her shoulders as she cried, and Yuma hugged her gently.

I sometimes wish I could ...... cry too. But I don't because Mr. Dick has always kept his word.

"......Yeah, ......Dee, I know you'll come back. I want to believe it too, but ...... when I see the room where Dee was, I want to destroy everything. I can't look at it anymore. ......

"So you're going to go look ...... for him?　Mr. Dick.

"What ......?

Rimcelit looked up and saw the face of a girl smaller than herself.

Yuma did not shed a tear, but her eyes were painfully red.

'The truth is, I lied to you. I didn't want to cry, but I was crying ...... while praying to the gods of Albane. I'm sure I'm not fit to be a priest of Arbein like this.

"...... Yuma-chan.

I want to see Dick-san and Sphere-san as soon as possible. I've been thinking about this all day long for a month now.

This was the first time that Rimcelit had heard about Uma's weaknesses, her true feelings.

She was always loved by the children, the congregation, the other nuns and priests, and was a priest of mercy who brought them comfort.

But now she had returned to being a girl of her own age, and was expressing her petty selfishness.

I can't hold back my feelings anymore. I'm going to find a way and call out to the whole world ...... just like I did to Mr. Dick to entrust your power to him.

...... Then I'll help you. I think the two of us can do it. Do you want me to call on everyone?

You all have work to do. ...... But I'm sure you feel the same way.

I'm sure you'll feel the same way. Come on, Yuma.

Yes, ......!

With Rimcelit's hand in mine, Yuma slipped out of the chapel.

She had left a note in her room in anticipation of this. She had left a note in her room, saying that she would vacate the capital for a little while.

--but.

When she opened the door of the chapel and her eyes adjusted to the morning sunlight and saw the blue sky.

Looking back at Rimcelit, he said nothing. Yuma just nodded back.

Rimcelit blows his whistle and calls the black dragon. She jumped on top of it with Yuma in her arms and flew across the sky.

The person she has been waiting for is now in this world. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I'll be back.

In the 12th street of the royal capital Alvinus, the "Silver Water Bottle Pavilion".

I'm not sure what to make of it.

After Dick's disappearance, she only took a few days off, but she opened the store without fail.

The cooks, Halle and Ramsus, would come in before the lunchtime hours, but in the morning it was just her, living in the guild house.

--there was a person who rang the doorbell and came in.

'Good morning, Miss Verlaine.

'...... What is it with you on a morning like this?　Lady Cordelia.

When called by her name as a woman, Cordy only smiled and sat down next to the seat where Dick always sat.

Verlaine entered the counter and prepared the drinks without saying a word. Although it was morning, what Verlaine served was a well-chilled ale.

Verlaine poured one for herself as well. They smiled at each other and clinked their glasses over the counter.

They didn't say a word for a while and savored the drink. The ale, which Dick had been involved in from purchasing to brewing, and which he had commissioned a brewery to make, had an exceptional taste compared to what was available on the market.

...... The interior of the store, the sake they serve, even the food. I'm very happy to have inherited it. I wonder if I've inherited it.

"I think it's brilliant. The regulars say they'll miss him when he's not drinking. ......

"The master himself may have thought he was disappearing from the scene. He didn't seem to be aware that he had somehow become a household name.

The drunkard at the end of the counter always has a chic way of dealing with the occasional customer who has a reason for visiting.

Some of the regular customers were watching him, and some of them came to the bar because they thought Dick's behavior was elegant.

I found out about this when one of the regular customers asked me about Dick after he stopped sitting at the counter.

For the first few months, they all asked when he was coming back. Then, as if they had guessed something, they stopped asking.

...... I think they were lonely, too. I think they were lonely, just like we are.

I've never heard of ...... taking this long at all. I have to ask them what they are planning to do without even bringing up my protection .......

Verlaine turned around in the counter and turned her back to Cody.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great way to start the day.

"...... Lord Cordelia, ...... something, you're thinking. May I ask why you're here?

I'm going out to search for the missing members of the Demon King's strike force. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please contact us at .......

It's a good idea to prepare for emergencies without taking a day off. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

But at the same time, Verlaine also remembered.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll agree with me. You're a good friend of the Master's, aren't you, Lord Cordy?

I don't deny what he taught me. I'm not going to deny what he taught me: that living the way you want to is the most wonderful thing you can do. It was something that the Knight Commander wanted to do, but when there is peace, you want to give it to someone else.

Verlaine laughed at Cody's bold statement - it was the first sincere smile she had seen in a long time.

I've always believed that we should wait and trust that Dick will return. She thought that if he was fighting in another world, she would never find him in this world.

But it was not in her nature to keep waiting. Verlaine had already waited five years to see Dick once.

It was shorter than the last time, but it felt longer this time. I suppose that's because I was still under the master's care when I got here.

I'm sure he was thinking of Verlaine and everyone else too, but ...... if you say you understand his feelings like that, you'll regret it one day.

Verlaine hadn't noticed the change in Cody's state of mind until a few days before her last visit to the store.

Not only was she always calm and a swordswoman who followed Dick's orders to the letter, but she was also a swordswoman who was second to none.

--She has a passion for swordsmanship that no one else can match. Even when she was training with Dick, she never cut corners and did everything in her power to get the first strike. This passion was an expression of her civility and love for Dick, an opponent who was close to her in ability and who was a great asset to her.

If Cody were to get serious, his master would not be able to escape so easily. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

"You too, Verlaine. I was almost there, but I couldn't push through. ......

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. I always felt like my heart was going to break when I faced my master in the way he saw me as a woman. Even when we met again after five years, ...... I was like a maiden, and I was not ashamed of myself. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

After closing her eyes to reminisce, Verlaine shook her head as if to regain her composure.

She closed her eyes to reminisce, then shook her head to regain her composure. In order to see the future from the present, we must ......

--so Verlaine was about to say.

They looked at each other and then, without saying a word, ran outside.

The girls did not doubt the feeling.

Verlaine flew with the power of a winged spirit, and Cody ran up to the roof of a building on Twelfth Avenue, aiming for the east of the royal capital.
