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

I was able to determine the identity of the Baton I defeated with my Alliance Card. I carry it with me in a disciplined manner.

Two A-ranked adventurers belong to the Purple Scorpion Pavilion on 5th Street. Assassin, this guild is famous for having a lot of caution sticks. By their very nature, many people have bad rattles.

Larg and his men work for Vincent, but his previous career doesn't always seem appropriate for a noble servant. Even though some of the nobles are involved in the darkness of King's Landing, there is so much information that they don't like it.

"Even the rest of the guild has to get caught in this case, right?

Well, yeah. I couldn't help it because I was working at the request of the Largs. The Alliance does the work it receives, but it is free to decide whether to accept it or not. "

"Dick always listens carefully to his client and decides. I'm going to take it mostly."

The Alliance is nothing, and we must scrutinize the identity and content of our clients. Making mistakes in judgment is fatal.

However, it can be said that the Alliance's preliminary assessment has already been completed by the time they give me the information to contact my Alliance. Thanks to this, they brought in a request that made the Alliance look like a dirty work yard, and they didn't have to deal with it.

◆ ◇ ◆

Call some skilled male Guild members to transport the six Largues to a nearby property with some guilds. And I paid the owner of the inn through Eileen to pay for the interior repairs. I will retrieve it from Larg and the others later, but I do not think it is absolutely necessary.

I'm not going to say that the reward is peace in this country. If we consider the benefits of stopping civil unrest and avoiding war, we will get a good return on the success of this job.

Well then, I'll go to Cody's. Is Dick going back over there?

Asked by Eileen, I slightly lost my answer. My main unit is fine and safe, but Miralka and Rico are about to get numb.

Me and Miralka have been invited to a dinner at the Elder's house and have been welcomed by a large number of Tiger tribes, but eventually the Tiger tribes with alcohol got cheerful and started showing off their gems and so on - while looking at it, Miralka is in limbo and asking me for someone to talk to. Tiger tribes are flourishing with familiar companions, and that won't help.

The main body of me is pouring alcohol on Miralka - it's boring because she won't respond, Miralka says.

Should I go back? But unless the magic letters on Eileen's chest disappear, the effect of "Small Spirit" is...

"Dick, are you listening?

Ah, ahh. All right, I'll be right back. "

"Yeah, say hello to Miralka. What if he comes back tomorrow?... isn't that an early morning getaway?

"Do you think he'll let me do something? I don't know how scary I am."

"I didn't think so. Dick is cute, sometimes."

"What do you mean, you don't even think about it? I...."

"Yes, yes, it's okay, it's time to come back. Miralka is a lonely man, so I'm sure he'll be waiting for you.

Perhaps Eileen is right. Of course, if Miralka were to say, "Did you miss her?", her mood would be recording a low for a while.

Thank you, Irene. This time, I was taken care of. "

"Eh... uhh, yeah. You can't thank me like that. I'm free, but I'm part of Dick's guild."

Eileen said while touching her fingertips for a long time. Her hair, which is the half-half of the demons and people, is a color that is slightly mixed with red in white because of the dark blood of the demons. Is the color of peach close?

Well then, I'll go. After work, why don't we all get together and have a nice meeting? Yuma, I may miss you so much this time. "

I see. Sometimes I want to drink empty without thinking about anything. "

Eileen smiles and wears the jacket as it is, wearing a hood, and leaves the inn window. Going up from the veranda to the roof and jumping from the roof to the roof was a routine way for her to carry out my idea of 'discreet' - because she can run away without being noticed by the inhabitants, without footsteps like a cat.

◆ ◇ ◆

The area where Cody lived was that where the Knights' executive family lived. It is opposite to the district where the nobles live and is located in the northeast of the King's City.

Eileen moved to fly much faster than the carriage and came to Cody's house.

"That's Cody's room... alright!

Instead of entering through the front door, Eileen flew scaffolding through the garden trees and landed on the veranda in Cody's room.

"Phew... is Cody there?

When Eileen tapped the window lightly, Cody approached the window.

"Good evening, Eileen. As always, come from here. I could come in through the back door."

"Ahahah, I'm sorry. There's something I need to tell you in a little hurry."

"Somehow I was feeling that way. Dick was about to call me."

Cody opens the window and invites Eileen into the room. Inside the room, a cloth was laid on the floor, and armor and swords were placed on top of it. After finishing the care, he gets a light and shines with no dullness of his fingerprints.

Silver armor awarded by the King and a dagger engraved with a royal emblem on the pattern when awarded the rank of Knight Commander. He never used the sword for battle, but he always wore it when he wore armor.

"Your hair is wet, but you cleansed yourself before you went to war?

"That's where it is. Rather, I've been training my troops all day, so I'm sweating."

Cody wrapped a salad around his upper body and underneath, he was dressed as a knight.

After the equipment was taken care of, he bathed - that was his daily preparation as a swordsman. It was certified as an SSS-ranked adventurer and a custom that never changed after forming the Demon King Crusaders.

There was only one thing that was different when I was traveling as an adventurer.

"I wind it as soon as I get out of the bath. Cody, do you always do that when you're at home? Sometimes I think it's better to relax, because I have to grow up."

"Not as good as Eileen. But lately, it's getting harder for me to wind it myself... when you were doing it, I was able to wind it tightly."

"I was really surprised at that time, but I knew somehow. A woman's intuition."

"Hahaha... that doesn't look very much like Eileen. Whatever I say."

"Ah, is that what you're saying? Ha, but I can't tell you. Cody, you've been having such a hard time... ever since you met Dick five years ago. I'll reopen it on the way and tell Dick the truth."

Eileen approaches Cody and points to a salad wrapped around his body. While not killing shoulder or arm movements, the entire upper body was over-tightened and compacted.

"It's not that hard when you get used to it. This is what bowmen always do."

"Because the bow string hits my chest... but Cody seems to suffer even more."

"There's nothing like this. Because I made up my mind. If you devise how to wind it, it will always put a strain on your body, and it won't even help you train."

Cody wipes the rest of her hair with a cloth. When I wiped her white neck, Eileen sighed.

"I wonder why Dick didn't notice. Me and Miralka didn't notice right away, but that's all we had with Cody."

"That's because you trust me. Just like I did to him."

After recommending a chair to Eileen, Cody puts his sleeve through an undershirt worn under armor that was placed on the table. At first glance, it was impossible to discern that I was wrapped in a salad.

"... sorry, Cody. I almost said something extra to Dick. Cody said something important about Dick...."

"I wonder where the problem lies. I don't care, Eileen. I care about Dick, and I feel the same way about you, Your Majesty, and all the people of this country."

"Say something like that. Well, I'm going to say it again, but Cody almost said he loved Dick, but you're still not upset?

Cody doesn't answer Eileen. Eventually she smiles slightly and answers with her eyes closed.

"Still, he won't notice. I've always been."

"That's right... hey, Cody won't tell Dick the truth anymore?

"It's the first lie I started believing I needed it. That's why I'm going through it."

"You already said you needed it. I told you I believed in Dick."

"... that's right. That's why I never want to betray his trust."

Eileen was still looking for words, but when she gave up, she took off her coat and put it on the back of her chair. Then, with Cody's permission, he poured water from the water bottle on the table into the glass and sipped it.

Not only for himself, but also for Cody, he took a glass and drank about half of it. Ask for a cold ale at the "Silver Bottle Pavilion" and use the same technique as drinking.

"Why did Cody do that? I was hoping you'd let me know one day, but it's been five years... don't tell me now."

"... that's why it's crap. My thoughts were just too young."

"I don't think it's crap. Cody is serious, so you've made up your mind, right?

Cody drinks the rest of the water. And I looked back at Eileen, who was staring straight at me.

"... I had a brother. It's called Leon. As an SS ranked adventurer, I was famous in the town where I grew up."

"Leon... I think I've heard of it. There aren't twenty SS ranks in this country."

"I belonged to the branch of the White Goat Pavilion, so I might hear about it in the King's City. But that could be notorious. My brother is strong, but I can't say he's behaving properly."

That said, Cody's expression was shady. He held an empty glass in his hand and continued his words as he stared.

"My brother was a female adventurer who partied with me and someone who could easily reach out to women in town. It may be the best thing about my family, but I was well dressed and my strength was unquestionably top-notch."

"Ah... oniichan would certainly have to take care of the town if he did that."

"The fact is, you were right. My neighbor's sister, whom I've been taking care of since I was a child, is one of the people my brother took care of... he didn't intend to accompany her. After breaking up, he scolded me instead of my brother and moved to a different town."

Eileen loses her words. Cody raised his face and laughed softly at her.

"It's an old story now. But I learned by looking at my brother... if I'm going to be an adventurer, all parties should be of the same sex or equal numbers. If a man is alone and only a woman is left, the opposite is bound to happen. I think it's stupid of me, but that's how I figured it out. I didn't think many men in the world would think differently than my brother."

"... and look at the members of the Demon King Crusader...?

"I'm still ashamed of myself. I didn't believe Dick when I first met him. Maybe because my skin found out that he was strong. I was incredibly conscious of him."

Cody puts his hand on his chest. It's like when you think about it, your chest starts ringing.

"There were four opponents who were close to me... I didn't know why Dick was as strong as I was when I first saw him. I was surprised that there was such a type of strength."

"Yeah, me too. Dick's strength is still strange... unlike my strength. The strength of that person is the strength that you can leave to it."

Cody answers Eileen's praise with a smile. And now Cody poured water into the glass for both of us.

"While I was fighting with him, I started to regret doubting him... but I also think it was good. If I hadn't lied to him, I might not have been in this relationship."

"... I lied and became a Knight Commander. And I can't turn back anymore...."

"You're poking me in the pain... of course I do. I was so simple that I could only think of the role the Knights needed to keep this country safe."

"That's why I'm still busy, and I'm doing my job well. Me, Miralka and Yuma are saying the same thing. That's why I'm worried at the same time."

"... thank you. I'll be fine. I don't feel painful, and I almost forget that I'm lying."

Eileen snaps, "That's a liar."

Did you not reach Cody's ear, or did you pretend not to listen? He stood up and put his hand in front of him. That was the stance when you called the "Light Sword" - now you don't call the sword, just show your stance.

"I will continue to be his sword. If he told me to go, I'd go anywhere."

"... you really like it. Dick cared, too. He said he wouldn't let me touch his stomach."

"... if they see me, I'll have to stun Dick and erase my memory. He must never know. I...."

Cody takes an oath in front of Eileen - on the way.

His voice broke off, nothing was heard in my ear, and the sight of Cody's room faded away.

--Jack, Dick.... instead of going up to the sky, your consciousness is completely over there.

I hear a voice calling out for me. Here, the magic runs out of time - the consciousness is pulled back into the body without any response.

◆ ◇ ◆

"... nh... it's kind of soft..."

"What are you talking about... when I poured you alcohol, I didn't suddenly fall over here. I get up early because it's heavy, and my feet are numb."

"Stop... look, Miralka, evil...!

A tent that can accommodate about 100 people with a Tiger feast.

In that guest seat, I was kneeling at Miralka. It was no less resilient than Verlaine, and yet the only unique elasticity was the moderate sinking of the back of the head and its reception.

But I can't keep getting my knee pillow on, so I wake up.

A magical letter depicted on Eileen as a mediator of "The Little Soul." I could hear Eileen and Cody interacting until it was no longer effective. The magic letters can only be erased over time with a special medicine, and you'll need Verlaine's help.

Therefore, knowing that it would become eavesdropping, I turned my attention to the interaction between the two of my friends. Cody had a brother, too, but listening to them makes it seem like I'm not aware of something serious.

Cody was alert to the man because of his brother Leon's femininity, and he didn't trust me when we first met.

That's why Cody lied. What lies did I need?

Above all, I felt guilty when I saw Cody wrapping a bandage around his upper body and how to wipe his hair, and I remembered the feeling that I didn't want to be aware of.

Cody is a man. Even if your hair is beautiful as a man and your skin is fine, you shouldn't get lost. I'm just drunk with a drink poured into Miralka over the sky.

"... you seem kind of upset. Rico, prepare a beverage for your attention."

"Okay. This is what Dwarves taught me how to make, fire liquor. If you drink it, your body gets hot and you notice it."

"S, I'm sorry... Gu, this one doesn't work... but it seems a little low in purity due to manufacturing problems. Give me three days and I'll bring real firewine to this village."

"Masked people, I know how to make delicious alcohol! Wow! I'll tell the Elder!

Rico ran to the elder with excitement. As the owner of the tavern, Miralka looked strangely at me.

"It looks like something happened, so I'll talk to you about it later. It's going to be hard to get home tonight, so I talked to him so he could stay."

"Ah, ah... thank you, Miralka."

I noticed it when I answered that. Maybe there's only one tent for guests.

While I couldn't answer my doubts, Miralka looked at the Tiger women dancing in the middle of the tent, tilting a glass of liquor broken with fruit juice.
