I visited Oink's office once.

But this time, not as a senator, but as commander-in-chief of the guild, so we're headed to the commander-in-chief's office in this guild building.

Apparently, it's on the lower floor of this place, which is the accommodation, and the floor closer to the food court, and it travels all the way down in the lift at once.

Still not used to this lift, or unique sensation inside the elevator, he was lifting his body fluffy as Rhue became like a toe in front of him.

Uhm, cute. By the way, in Rayce's case, two big mountain ladies accompany this move. Fluffy and shaky.

"I knew I wasn't used to this... Kai-kun is fine"

"Some of the world I was in was longer and faster than this. And I used it on a pretty routine basis."

"Yeah... let's shut up and use the stairs..."

"Give me a break about going up and down these stairs"

Assuming Lue comes to modern Japan, I'm sure he swells his legs into bread every day and goes up the building...... no, he's afraid of his lower body Mukim Kielf or something.

While I imagine that, the lift slows down and lets me know that the floor of interest is close.

As she stepped down to the floor supporting Lue, who breaks the balance in front of her, she started leading the way, having already come here.

And this also opens the door to a luxurious, somewhat metallic hobby.

"Hey, is Oink back yet? They were calling me after the game."

"This is Master Lue. Master Oink is already standing by. And..."

Is it the secretary, or the gaze of a woman in a uniform can be pointed at this one?

"He was brought here by me at my discretion. You're treating me the same way, and you're gonna be okay, right?

"… please wait a moment"

That's right. Why don't you say 'yes please'? But Oink would probably let me through.

But I don't see why Lue tried to bring me here.

'There's something I can't stand,' she said. Normally, other than the hostile opponent like me, I guess there are extra reasons, such as her trying to get me through that much.

Sure, me and Aruba weren't even hostile... but we weren't in a bad relationship, but I can't even assume she would move with that.

If you look at the chills as you reflect on what's going on inside of her, you're still staring at the door with just a little rough nose.

Hmmm... I just can't predict what will happen to me this time.

"Thank you for waiting. The commander-in-chief's permission has been granted. Please go inside."

"I get it. I'm sorry. Suddenly."

"I'm suddenly sorry"

Well, what the hell is going to happen?

"I'll get in your way - Oink"

"Coming, Oink"

The office as commander-in-chief was somewhere inside the museum, where numerous showcases were installed.

I guess it's something with a name. Wrecked sword patterns or wreckage of shattered helmets.

At first glance they looked like crap, one by one they seemed to hold dear.

"I can't believe that Lue is going to be bothered by himself."

"I can't even sit on my stomach. I'm sorry."

"Phew... I can predict a lot, but don't do too much chasing."

I get dressed and am so blurry as I keep my body deep in the chair like oink dressed in my usual uniform is tired.

I guess running a tournament is still more intense than I imagined.

At that time, when she tried to tease me lightly because of her labor, the secretary's woman calls me again.

And it gave me a feeling of trouble, as I expected.

"Master Aruba has arrived"

"Okay. Please let me through."

Doors to be opened. And who appears.

Before he knocks at the door, he stops on that leg when he sees this blush on his face.

No, even if they stare at me like that.

"... why is this man here too"

"Oh, that's what I brought in. Because there's something I really need you to know."

"Chip, what's going on? Is there anything else?"

Oink and I will watch what happens.

After all, because they told me it was directly superficial, Toge seems to have softened Alba's attitude to Lue just a little bit of what remains.

"You bit me at first and thought I was a dog, but here's the result. But I can't stand on my stomach."

"Oh, my God, that would be enough if it was before the game. In the end, I lost. That's enough."

"No. You know, Kai-kun is stronger than me. So I don't want you to fight without darkness anymore."

"... don't lie to me. Dear Oink, this is a bad way to say... but you set me up to frame me."

"... made him fight you with Lue. Is that what you want to say?"

"... Yes"

Hmm, was there some kind of interaction with Lue?

But it's unusual for her to say that she did.

Alba will also have trouble figuring out how to react when he suddenly tells Lue, 'Kai-kun is stronger than me'.

And the person I told, Lue, also has a complex look on his face that I can't boil again.

It's like you're holding that kind of crap, like you can't put your feelings into words successfully.

I look back at this one from time to time for some reason, and also show the bare gesture I'm trying to tell you something.

... No, let's leave this place to her.

"Lue, please continue. Alba, listen to her till the end."

"So... oh, I don't know what anymore. I hope you don't make fun of Kai-kun. I hope you don't take it lightly or disparagingly or take it that way. I'm not too angry, but I just can't stand it. Because he is dear to me! That's why I'll never forgive you! If again, if again..."

"Yes stop. It's getting too hot."

Suddenly, she stands up as she reinforces her tone.

He still has a strong eye on Aruba with a very, but not calmly looking look on his face.

No, that's exactly why you brought me here... did Aruba say anything rude about that?

"Never... Never fool around or take it lightly... because I won't forgive you"

"... that's what I mean. She seems to have taken her precious opponent lightly from Rue, so she couldn't stand it."

"... if this guy is really strong... do you mean I've always been just a clown"

"What attitude do you take towards him? Sometimes you wanted to make sure of that. In that sense, I could say I was swimming you."

The brutal truth Oink tells.

Perhaps I expected this series of flows from the beginning.

I mean, since you asked me to escort you this far.

The disturbing molecules of my organization, to prepare my floating ground, and also this time, I was used.

Looks like he was trying to give Lue that role, not me, from the middle of nowhere.

Daimyo, you must have feared that Aruba would eat and hang this way more than I imagined, and that I would overwork it.

Correct. Probably would have hurt me until I totally broke my heart if I'd been dealing with Exhibition.

Somehow, the ups and downs of this emotion have been intense ever since I got here.

Because I'm so conscious, I guess I'm pretty much gone, too.

What the hell is causing this?

"Alba. I also had reports coming to me that your behavior over the past year has not been complimented. And you're a little too jealous. Perhaps if there were a stranger entrusted with my escort, this would happen."

And as this one imagined, Oink confessed that it was his prediction, some sort of plan.

Being used without knowing is a business belly, but if you think about what's happened... No, if you think about what's going to happen, that's fine.

Anyway, I'm leaving this continent soon.

If that happens, my relationship with the Alliance will be broken, and that means nothing more than the connection between Oink and me will be broken.

It doesn't change being a friend. But taking action for each other makes it impossible to get help from time to time.

That's probably why Oink is in a hurry, too, just a little bit.

Oh...... well. Was I in a hurry?

"Rather than being a senator, you will first need to consolidate your position as an adventurer once and for all. … but I think we've already made that foothold in today's battle."

"... ok"

"Alba. What made you do that? If you were a person of this quality, I would not have recommended you to Silver, Senator. What happened?

"… is that an order to answer"

"If necessary"

"... if you can, let me tell you that when it's just the two of us"

Exactly, there's no way we're gonna listen to anything we don't know.

Leave the room behind once with Lue, who still looks excited.

I'm sure there's a good reason why he only wants to tell Oink.

Already, he should have been punished enough, and taught by Lue in that battle.

I don't think we're going to make a wild imitation of eavesdropping anymore.

Besides, I'm worried about our daughter.

"What's the matter, Lue? It doesn't look like much."

When I left the office, the woman in the secretary was gone whether she distracted me or not.

Speak to her, who is still nagging, as she speaks to the couch in this room, which is also used as a waiting room.

"... they made fun of my hero. You've decided to be angry. Kai-kun gets angry when I get ridiculed, and even I get this way when Rayce and Kai-kun get ridiculed."

"... right"

Just like me, huh?

If they say so, as for this one, I can't say anything more.

Right. Assuming my classmates make fun of my own parents, my kids are just as angry.

And I'm sure that's the same for adults. If we are relentlessly disparaged by our parents, family, and close human beings, this is what happens to everyone?

Yeah, I guess so. I know that very well.

So there's only one thing to say, then?

"... thanks, Lue"

"I wonder if... I have..."

I'm sure you're not used to these emotions.

And I guess it was the first time I've been in a situation like this where 'I'm disparaged in the absence of me'.

Even before, there have been fights sold to and hostile to scattered humans.

But in that case... you can say it yourself, but I've kept that person quiet with my own hands.

But not this time. For the first time, Lue made fun of her friends and family in a situation she was only looking at.

That's why I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how angry I should be or how far back I should go.

That's why you brought me here.

Maybe you expected me to complain directly to Aruba.

But I didn't feel like it, so I guess I went wild like that.

"Lue, you don't have to think about any trouble. If you get annoyed, bust him."

"Wah... ok!

It's a guy called Simple Isbes. If you get annoyed, retaliate appropriately.

The room where the two of them left. I am left with two young adventurers of this age, just waiting for his words.

He was a good young man. A promising young man who was always desperately asked to build on his track record and occasionally climbed to the summit of silver again.

I was thinking of nominating him for the convenience of having to be a single delegate from the adventurer, the young and most motivated now, or Riccial, who is regarded as semi-final in both fame and fame.

The first time Richard refused me that invitation, I recommended him, Alba.

As a result, his previous work did him credit, and he was appointed a senator with the votes of brilliant residents, and of the humans who belong to the guild.

And... right after I left this continent looking through it, his black rumors broke out.

"Tyrannized," "No Longer Received Simple Requests or Wishes," "Stand Play Stands Out"

"Taking City Security Jobs," "I've Been Treating Only My Own Believers"

As if, yes, he repeatedly behaves like a man drowned in power.

But even if I, the commander-in-chief, try to point it out directly, he is only a loyal subordinate before me.

Even if we punish him for relying on voices from around us, that's too weak a reason to cut him off, who is already one senator.

Honestly, I even remembered being disappointed with myself for not even being able to hold the reins of my own people.

"Talk to me, please. What made you do that?"

He spoke slowly as to whether he had given up on being alone.

"... I thought I got close. It became silver, and the sequence is low, but I climbed up to the same senator as you. But they still reminded me."

"… to me, is it"

"You are too far away. Then I tried to create my own forces, like the man who once lined you up."

"... more like, you took him for a role model?

People lined up with me...... although unintentional, people who can be called equal to me also include 'The Man'.

Now the late false Demon King 'Arkham'. Indeed, he had the status and power to line up with Il and me.

Not like Il, who inherited power from the beginning. A man who climbed to that position on his own power alone.

In that sense, maybe he was closer to me than anyone else.

... but I get a revulsion.

"... Yes. I was trying to create my own forces, like Mr. Arkham. But I heard Mr. died the other day. So I... I don't know what to do..."

"... that's stupid"

Dead, hateful feelings overflow in my fang-stripping enemies.

Oh, well. Arkham was letting his own daughter fight Aruba in last year's seven-star cup, wasn't he? He said there were as many opportunities for contact as there were.

Yeah, it's the same with me that's stupid. I can't believe you allowed contact between enemy forces and the upper ranks of your own faction.

Daimyo, I suppose he was chosen as that spike, which will sharpen this power from the inside.

It's a good time for Winglest. It's a real pain in the ass to be a strong man who's good at internal work.

This is how we dive inside, even though we can achieve enough results by cutting ourselves in.

It's a pain in the ass. It's a real pain in the ass.

"Stupid, right? There, that man showed up. You and Kai, the man standing next to you who's supposed to be far away."

"... he is my old friend. from the Divine Slavery."

"Huh! Well, I guess whatever you think, I didn't see a winner. Even in battle... '' But"

"Now what?

Unless you heard wrong.

Oh, is that so?

Oh, I thought that story was irrelevant to me.

Far away, he said, it was painful. That's why he said he drove his thoughts crazy that he couldn't make a normal decision.

"It's nothing. Excuse me, if you will allow me, would you please return the status of silver, S-rank? Now it looks like I'm gonna have to work out again."

"... what I gave back once is hard to take again. That would mean betraying the expectations of all the people who elected you to silver."

"Still, it was too early for me. As Lue said, I couldn't stay strong."

"… if that will is firm, let us allow it"

There are words that have been said for a long time.

"Love is Blind" I mean, he, Aruba, told me that he had those feelings for me... whatever.

It's an honor. I didn't expect you to see beings like me as such as a single human being.

But... I'm sure I won't be tied to anyone...

"Aruba. I order you to work in Endoresia for a while. You should rebuild yourself in that harsh environment. Now I can't leave this continent, but I thought I had to send good investigators to that land."

The forest where Lue once lived, where the influence of the opening of the Dragon God is evident.

Someone strong enough to be entrusted with that area of investigation, unfortunately, is not in Endoresia right now.

Then he would be the one in charge.

"The site of the survey is the forest, once inhabited by Lue, with the strongest demons. You're gonna hit me right now, right?

"That woman... I get it. Dispatch to Endoresia, indeed fatal."

Use his antagonism, his upliftment.

Because I am one of these people no matter how far I go.

So I'm sure I'll never be tied to anyone.

Because that's who I am, I'm sure I won't be chosen.

... That's fine. I like that.

Surrounded by the relics of the heroes who once took my life and scattered my life, I gave another order to my own men.
