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

After the shop is closed, the client woman stays in the shop to avoid being understood by other customers, and takes another mouthful of "moist apricot maiden coconut split". It completely calmed me down and the atmosphere became softer than I could see.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but my name is Kirsch Auguste. Again, I want to apologize for the disrespect."

Named Kirsch, she has an estock on her waist. Martial arts seem to be a success, but from what I've seen, the strength of the Adventurer is slightly over 3,000. It's the equivalent of a B-rank adventurer.

The average strength of an escort serving a noble family is higher. Because I think it is better to be independent than to choose a way of life tied to a house that is stronger than a B rank that can be eaten alone.

"I'm sorry I stopped by near the end of business hours."

"No, there will be jobs during the day, and it can be suspicious to leave your position easily."

"... yes. As you can imagine, I serve the Duke of Vinsburg... and I am essentially disloyal, such as a snitch. But all this time....."

After the shop was over, Cody and I pulled into the kitchen, where we were listening.

"Are you sure? You're still working tomorrow. This is a problem with our guild, so I don't care."

"What are you talking about? If the Duke is up to something, there must be something I can do for the Knight Commander. It's okay, I respect your intentions, and you can use it conveniently as a limb."

The most powerful token would be better off not moving until the end.

Cody just laughed and my irony didn't go through at all. I have a point, so don't say any more. Cody brings the remaining glass of rum to his mouth while listening to Verlaine's conversations at the front counter.

"So... what is Zebias Vincent up to?

"Zebias has ceded his seat to his son, Jean. But in essence, I kept moving for a certain purpose while still holding the real power of the Vincent family... and I knew that."

Kirsch's voice alone doesn't make his face visible, but it conveys an unusual tension. Still looking cool, I'm impressed once again by how Cody's liver is resting. Well, given his abilities, it goes without saying that there is almost nothing to be afraid of.

"The Duke of Vincent is trying to overthrow our country by connecting it with the Republic of Berbekia, which faces our western border."

"... I mean, you're about to start a rebellion. Is that what this is all about?

"Yes... I'm ready to be mistaken for what you're saying. But I have proof. When the Duke was in close contact with Velvekia, he sent letters to an envoy who was attacked and robbed by a bandit."

Was it bad luck or good luck? The latter should be seen as the preferred position for peace in the Kingdom of Albain.

I joined the Demon King Crusaders because I didn't want the turmoil. I might have lived by doing what I wanted, but I wanted to change the situation where monsters threatened human life on a daily basis. It's just because I want to live as comfortably as I think.

"The bandit who saw the letter threatened the Duke of Vincent's house..."

"As you can imagine. But the letters were written using a code that only the Vincent family could read, so the bandits tortured the messenger and discovered that he was connecting the Vincent family to Velvekia. To buy letters from the bandits, I took Vincent's orders and headed to the place where my troops would deal.... but...."

At the time of the troop, I knew I wasn't going to let the bandits escape after the deal. I don't want to be suspicious, but it's not like I can imagine a quiet development and hear it.

"... don't let the bandits escape. Or you were ordered to kill them all."

"... the first order said just to retrieve the letter. But the second thing I was ordered to open just before the deal... was to kill the bandits..."

"Did you follow that order?

Kirsch did not answer the question immediately. But she says with a trembling voice.

"... I can't forgive you for threatening me. We fought a bandit, but we couldn't kill one. When I felt the anomaly, I read the letters in the" Clairvoyance "skill without removing the seal on the letter. I knew that was unacceptable."

Clairvoyance - If you think about learning this technique, you can learn it by going to the Bandit Guild. In my case, I don't need it because I can get closer to perspective in another way.

But unlike the Adventurer Alliance, a Bandit Alliance can be punished simply by learning its skills. Of course, there are a lot of criminals in the Bandit Guild. Skill instructors are no exception, and it is not uncommon for them to steal large amounts in the past.

Even so, Kirsch served Vincent. At the end of the day, it was the murder of the bandits who threatened him that made him do his dirty work.

Bandits should be punished for their actions, but the fact that they were using messengers to communicate with their neighbors is not something to be seen. Kirsch came to this guild as a whistleblower, aware of his own danger.

"Is the Republic of Belbeki trying to seize the territory of this country? Through the Duke."

"... yes. Jean hastened to marry Princess Manarina in order to assert her legitimacy as a ruler by taking a man of royal blood as his wife."

Take the throne with the help of Velvekia. With that in mind, Jean-Vincent was about to marry Manarina.

If it hadn't been for that broken engagement, I wouldn't be feeling good now that I think Velvekia might have already attacked. Even more terrifying than monsters, are they still human beings?

"... Dick. It's been a long time since I've seen you look like that."

"That face?... well, there's no use deceiving me. It seems like alcohol is going around strangely and I'm getting drunk."

"I feel the same way. It's been a long time since my blood got hot. When I come to you, I seem to remember how I felt when I was a brave man."

"Didn't you say from the standpoint that you were happy with the pinch of the country?

"You said that, too. But a pinch doesn't even mean anybody realizes it was a crisis if we could prevent it. Dick likes it that way, doesn't he?

In the sense of being discreet, that's the best. If you solve a problem without even realizing it happened, it's not even a problem.

In this case, we don't even know that the people are about to go to war. Will the Vincent family be disenfranchised for an unexplained reason, and the three Dukes will be replaced? It depends on the King's treatment.

"I'd like to say that I'll learn how to do that too... but is it too conspicuous in my" Light Sword "?"

Well, I guess so. But it's the right material. The chances of relying on you this time are increasing considerably. "

"You're never going to tell me you're going to rely on it. I'll be looking forward to it."

"Sorry. Whatever you say, you're definitely the last token. It shouldn't be easy to move."

Cody's glass was empty, but he won't drink anymore. If you are reluctant to drain alcohol magically, I offered you an alternative drink. "Moist Apricot" is good enough for a man and promises him a good night's sleep on the day he drank it.

"... isn't this something a woman drinks?

"Neither effect changes. Sometimes women work better, but even men work better. I'm trying it myself."

"That's reassuring. Let Miralka and the others drink it... no, it's not good to calm down too much."

Make a moist apricot divided by carbonated water and serve to the cody. In the meantime, Verlaine and Kirsch were at a good crossroads.

"In other words, the letter that Kirsch sees clearly conveyed to the Velveteens that she would not marry the princess."

"Yes, Velvechia was already preparing to enter the country clandestinely by order of Master Zebias. The border between our country and Berbekia is fortified and walled on the south plains to prepare for incursions. However, the north is a steep mountain range, which is not well guarded because it is a natural barrier."

"... are you telling Velvekia a secret route through the mountains and inviting troops in? Sure enough, when Albain realizes he's been attacked, it could mean a duel in King's Landing."

Verlaine was experiencing war as a Demon King, so he immediately understood the dangers of the situation after listening to Kirsch.

"It was the Vincent family who was entrusted with defending that mountain range... using their position and communicating with their enemies..."

"You're thinking too much of yourself. Dear Kirsch, I've come to this guild a lot. If I had consulted other guilds, the Duke would have figured it out and you might have been trapped."

"... yes. My men remain silent about letting some of the bandits escape, but I wonder how long it will last... Master Zebias is a tough man to fail his men. If it turns out, I'll be banished, or..."

Kirsch, who was speaking graciously, got stuck in his words. I can't help it, because I feel my life is in danger and have come here to ask for help.

"I know I shouldn't betray my cuteness or the house I served. But...."

"If Sir Zebias's plan is fulfilled, the people of King's Landing will be harmed. Your determination is noble. The Silver Bottle Pavilion will never forgive anyone who points a finger at it as a snitch."

If Kirsch found out who Verlaine was, what would Kirsch think of his righteous remarks - because he was a former demon king, he remembers his minister's outrage at betraying the king.

However, if you say "Silver Bottle Pavilion" like a group of righteous people, your body becomes slightly itchy. Cody was laughing at me like that.

Verlaine will wait for Kirsch and come to the kitchen where we are. When I nodded, Verlaine smiled happily and went out again.

Whether or not to accept this request - you shouldn't even be confused.

It's no big deal if it comes in trade, but when it comes near King's Landing, it's not a story.

I just want to live in peace. Drinking alcohol every day, doing a decent job, talking and laughing at your friends, that's all.

What do I have to do for that?

It's settled, as always. As Cody is right, I will leap forward to prevent a crisis - or have someone in a position that is not a problem to stand out.

"... you finally feel like you can count on my strength?

"Oh, I can't get into the Masked Savior yet, but I'll split the soul. Come back to the store tomorrow."

"I promised. Then I'll leave the rest to you. I don't like difficult stories."

Cody is one of these - his enthusiasm is unusual when it comes to defeating bad guys, but he's not good at thinking about the circumstances behind it. I hate it if it's not concise and clear.

After I send Cody out the back door, I'll listen to you the whole time. Verlaine was about to issue a contract and negotiate a reward with Kirsch.

"Considering the request, it is difficult for individuals to prepare their rewards… We will calculate the benefits to the Alliance after fulfilling the request. This Alliance exists because it has been approved as an Alliance by the Kingdom of Albain. Even in the sense that you will continue to approve it, it will mean a lot as a reward."

"But... originally, it's not a problem that one guild should bear, it's the whole country..."

"Except in special cases where the client's feelings are not matched, the achievement rate of the Guild's request is 100% without exception. It continues to be the same without being proportional to the size of the request. Unfortunately, I can't show you the results of your trustworthiness as a form, but let's be sure. We are the only ones who can fulfill this request. And there's good reason enough to accept a request. I know that the terms and conditions are sufficient to make a contract."

Kirsch was just listening to Verlaine.

Are you sure that our Alliance will be able to accomplish the request - is there an Alliance that can be accomplished? It's only natural that you think so, and even if you come here thinking about straw, you won't be sure.

Then I'll just show you the results.

We will solve Kirsch's problems in the shadows before presenting them as problems. Just like I've done before.

Kirsch was nervous again as he spoke about his request, and the air was still tight... but...

"... I want to reward you as much as I can. I know how many times I've been reborn and given my life, it's not worth the reward."

"Life is not so low in value. My name is not above all else. If I were to pay you personally, Kirsch would be proud of your choice and that would be enough."

"Nh... ku... uuuu..."

I don't know what you're talking about, but to be honest, I felt like I was being shown the size of a vessel.

I wouldn't be as good as Verlaine. That's why I'm entrusting you with the role of shopkeeper - if you show me that style, I'm not sure which one is the Alliance Master.

Kirsch cried for a while, but wiped his tears with Verlaine's handkerchief.

Her face was clear from the kitchen. I'm still at the stage of accepting or not accepting a request, but it doesn't matter. I think it's easier what I had because I cried.

"... please. Save this country and stop the runaway of House Vincent."

"Yes, sir."

Kirsch signs the contract. The Silver Bottle Pavilion can now start moving tomorrow.

A number of issues emerged from her story. I decided to put it in order and work it out.

A secret route across the border that Vincent knows. First, block the hole - so that Velvechia doesn't break in without any trouble and slows down the enemy's hand.

At the same time, it is important to find out if the intentions of Zebias and Jean's parents and children are all that Kirsch knows.

Some Guild members have a little heavy work. We still have to rely on them.

At the end of the day, I might need to move. Basically, I wanted to finish everything without moving from this tavern - and with that in mind, I dropped off Kirsch, who had finished the contract, leaving the back entrance.
