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

After the hearing, all participants except the Inquisitor entered the conversation room to discuss future policy.

Round tables where about 20 people can sit are surrounded by fewer than 10 people. Cody is sitting across the street, but considering his official position, he actually said he wanted to sit here before entering the conversation room.

Her mind is already back when she was partying with the Demon King Crusaders. I feel the same way, and I'm conscious of what kind of system I'm already working on to tackle the labyrinth.

Prime Minister Lowe, aristocratic Marquis, and Primiere stand up and bow their heads when they all confirm that they are seated.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you today at the hearing. This opportunity to gather together is valuable, so I will discuss the policy for exploring the labyrinth. Are you sure?"

After obtaining everyone's consent, Markis unlocked the metal cylinder, took the drawings out of it, and spread them over the round table.

"This is the Labyrinth of the Ruins of Berthalis, which extends far deeper than King Alvinas. There are no drawings up to the deepest point, but in this way the topography is recorded from one layer to fifty."

If the labyrinth was spreading just below King's Landing, it would have hit when building underground facilities such as sewers, but looking at the drawings, I found out why it wasn't.

The underground labyrinth in King's Landing is not connected from the ground, it is far underground, and apparently we need to use the Transformation to get inside. The first layer will then be one layer, from which it will dive a hundred layers.

The labyrinth is getting bigger and bigger. And when I got down to 50 stories, the map was broken. There are pictures of monsters appearing, but the other ones are goblins, large mice, giant bats, etc., which vary greatly from one layer to another. It means that the monsters with the dominance of each decile have changed.

Middle-sized monsters such as Lizardman, Cocatrice, Elemental, etc. begin to emerge from the thirty floors. From this stage, even an already A-ranked adventurer will be able to put a lot of wear and tear on each fight.

And in front of the staircase descending from fifty stories, a picture of a monster with dragon wings is drawn on the lion's body. Does it mean that the monster who once took many victims is piling up at his feet?

"Why aren't there any maps below 50 floors?

When Grenadine looked and asked, Markis shook his head.

"This map was made about a thousand years ago when a survey team came in. Thousands of people formed around the Knights were put in and explored carefully, but unfortunately by the time we reached the 50th floor, the survivors had lost 10%, and only the artisan who was in charge of creating the map and his escort had returned with the loss of life of the Commander of the Expedition."

"... this is Dragon Kimira. Nearly a hundred life-saving monsters... are they still alive?

"It's possible. Some species live semi-permanently in the labyrinth."

That's the trouble in the labyrinth. Unlike monsters in the shallow layers, it is difficult to reach the depths of the abandoned labyrinth, which are long lasting and often grow into powerful special individuals.

And as a result of "rating", monsters make "long" regardless of race. If this is such a large labyrinth, it is not strange that there is another length for each of several hierarchies.

"Is the evil that we should defeat the deepest 'long'?

"No, it's not like that. It is no longer 2,000 years old and there is no material to guarantee the legitimacy of the records, but if you believe in historical materials, it is called the" Berthalis Snake ". The labyrinth monsters are said to be produced as many as snakes. There's no one left to see where they're actually born...."

Master is probably partying with King Albain and fighting the Berthalis Snake 2,000 years ago. But she didn't say anything now.

If I disclose the facts here, I feel that too much pressure has been placed on my master. I know I have to rely on my surviving master because all the others are dead, but I don't want her to be alone in everything. Not to mention the fact that the people surrounding this round table are the most powerful members of the organization that belongs to the Kingdom.

"Dragon Kimira is on 50 levels, and we have to dive another 50 levels. The Berthalis snake could be producing even more powerful monsters... if it's been abandoned for a thousand years and growing..."

Markis seems to keep laughing, but his cheeks are sweating. I decided to correct what I thought was a seemingly careless opponent. Even those who succeed the Duke's family, their livers do not settle down.

It's the same with Primiere, taking Marquis's word while keeping his nervous and trembling voice down.

"Exactly, it's a demon cave. But the powerful monsters are in the depths to protect the" snake, "so I don't think there will be a herd of powerful monsters as soon as they enter."

"I hope so. The transfer to the Labyrinth is controlled by the Kingdom, but there is no guarantee that anything will happen after the transfer. We're just keeping the perimeter of the transfer team safe."

My reasoning was corroborated by Markis's remarks. There is a metastasis to fly into the labyrinth.

In that case, it would be better for us to fly further as an advance party first. No matter how powerful the monster is, if we challenge him in full party, he will not lose. I can never be alarmed.

"Prime Minister, if you know about the Demon King Crusaders, why did you try to challenge the Labyrinth with all your might? Don't you think we can handle this?"

When I ask, Lowe laughs bitterly with a weak face. Thank you, "Lord Bai Li" seems to feel that the load is too heavy for him in this case. Still, it's a big deal not to run away.

"Let the Demon King Crusaders take care of everything, and we can't just pray and wait. Even in the shallow layers of the labyrinth, monsters spring up regularly, and if they exceed a certain number, the transfer line becomes inoperative. So, every five layers of dive, we'll secure a safe place, we'll set up a transfer team, and we'll connect the transfer teams so they can dive deeper from layer to layer at once. And in order for the Transformation to remain available, we will need personnel to eliminate new monsters from each hierarchy. I don't know how far it goes..."

This means that we need to deploy the forces responsible for scavenging monsters from the shallow to the deep. Each of the five levels means that if we can connect the transfer team to the 51st floor and defend that level, we can move to the 51st floor, from where we can explore on foot.

It was also discovered that the Kingdom had tried not to touch the underground labyrinth as much as possible. I have to say, it was a ruse, but the destruction of a thousand troops must have pulled the trigger.

"Is that so? All right, I won't leave the shallow monsters alone, and I'll leave them to the warriors. When you defeat a monster, you may get a variety of treasures, and it may be better for you to dive in the same way as you would if you were adventuring another labyrinth, so you don't have to make a big difference in your life."

I suggest that everyone loses their words as impressed. I didn't like to get noticed, but I just said a word or two, and the center of this discussion became me.

"Dean, the Adventurer Alliance is not able to function at the White Goat Pavilion, so we need someone to direct it. I think you're the only one who can play that role."

"That's what I thought. Everyone thinks that you, the Demon Kingslayer, are running the smallest guild on the corner of 12th Street."

Grenadine nods deeply, and Kirsch, who is the recorder next to Markis, looks straight at me and smiles. I have gathered too much faith in this space.

"... okay. But let me tell you one thing, this is an emergency. I will temporarily lead the Adventurer, but after completing the Labyrinth, I will form another lead Alliance. Is that okay?

"Dick, I feel a noble spirit in your proposal, but I have a little doubt. Why don't you want to be the leader of an Alliance Master? In this kingdom, ruling the Adventurer Alliance means gaining absolute power. And yet..."

"I can't say why, but I'm not saying I'm going to blame. I will keep my eyes shining so that the guild of King's Landing won't be disturbed."

In this way, it is not strange that I should be taken as the shadow ruler of the Adventurers Guild - no one turns a blind eye to suspicion, and Primiere, who asked me a question, is as depressed as he felt. At that time, my eyes were closed for the first time, but there was a cut in the chest of the dress and I saw a large valley. And the lips peeking under Vale are red, contributing to her growing interest in her bare face.

(... Dee-kun? Don't look at me like I'm one of those beautiful women.)

The teacher next door reached out under the desk and pinched my knee. It doesn't hurt, but I keep my head tight, coughing and talking.

Cody, let's get to the labyrinth and see what happens.

"Yeah, that would be nice. Let's get everyone else ready to explore the labyrinth. Once you're safe upstairs, you can come back and get the rest of the crew."

Can we just push forward and reach the 100th floor at once, or should we go back to the ground and rest every time we defeat a powerful monster? You don't know that unless you try to dive.

But I wanted to get into the labyrinth as soon as possible. I want to avoid the threat at my feet in order to return to the life I drink as I like.

"I think the party will be divided into groups of adventurers, knights, monks, etc., but I want all participants in the Labyrinth Exploration to be conscious of fighting together regardless of their position so that they can cooperate in times of need. I'd like to ask the royal family for encouragement for the Explorer, but is that possible?

"Oh, that's a good idea. I will ask His Majesty the King for his opinion."

Lowe accepts my words honestly and shows a soft smile. In any case, we've never been more cooperative.

The inspiration will probably come from Manarina. She is also very popular with the people - she is also the next queen, and the speech is expected in the sense of making her presence known to the people of King's Landing again.

"Lord Lowe, I've told you that a metamorphosis team will be set up every five floors, but the metamorphosis crystal should be very valuable. How will it be prepared?

"As you said, there is a limit to the number of diversions that can be installed, but if what the expedition set up a thousand years ago has not been destroyed, there will be a diversion team every five floors up to the 46th floor. But since the monsters will be gushing, in order to make the Transformation available, we will need to dive there again and sweep the monsters. For the Transformation to be installed on the 51st floor or later, we will give you the Transformation Crystal in the Kingdom's Treasure Depot. There are about 13, so it will be enough."

It is a metamorphosis crystal of immense value that is said to guarantee the life of the acquired adventurer to a hundred degrees, but it will not be spared.

And if possible, it would be a little easier for my Alliance's staff to rest if they could connect to the Transformation underground in my Alliance. Other Alliance adventurers have the idea of forming a transfer team on the grounds of the White Goat Pavilion to use. I would like the Kingdom to provide crystals, if possible.

"Arrangements have been made between the Kingdom and the Alliance of Lords to pay for the adventurers. I would also like to ask Dick for his opinion on the distribution of the rewards...."

As an active Alliance Master, I can answer questions like reward quotes.

So we finished the necessary discussion, set a date for the labyrinth exploration to begin in three days, and proceeded with preparations for each.

◆ ◇ ◆

Three days later, at noon, participants in the labyrinth exploration gathered in the courtyard of the royal castle for a cheer speech by Princess Manarina.

The number of Explorers was just over a thousand with us. Since it is gathered from all over the kingdom, the breakdown is 600 people below rank B, 250 people above rank A, and 40 people above rank S. The remainder, as non-combatants, play roles such as healing and procurement of supplies.

After wearing a white dress suitable for royal women and wearing a tiara, Manarina appeared on the balcony of the royal palace and began to speak using the spiritual magic of the wind to reach everyone.

"Allow me, on behalf of His Majesty the King, to speak here. As you may already know, the kingdom stands at a crossroads. Two thousand years ago, the evil that founding King Albain I sealed in the basement of the King's Capital was about to awaken."

Manarina was nervous, but her voice did not tremble. All the adventurers, knights, monks, and wizards gathered paid attention to her figure and her words.

"But you have gathered here with courage to contain the evil once again. We are proud of that courage. We hope to work hand in hand and dedicate ourselves to achieving a new millennium of prosperity."

The royal family has the power to brave the people, even if it does not have the power to fight. I think that's fine.

"In the name of the First Princess, Manarina Lila Albain, I pray. May God bless all who fight."

Manarina closed her eyes and prayed. After that, when she opened her eyes, there was a cheer that just broke.

The voice of fierce warriors. A wave of adventurers aiming for the handle and sparkling eyes. The monks stare quietly at the warriors if they do not save their power to save the people. And a magician who can imagine the unknown labyrinth - everyone is looking forward. In the name of the Princess, in the same direction.

"Oh, everybody's so fine. So, Dragon Kimira, huh? I wonder how strong it is."

"Do you mind destroying everything that gets in the way? It's been a long time since I've had to refrain."

Eileen and Miralka are already full of war. They both seemed to have burning eyes.

"The power of my purification has not reached the basement of King's Landing, so I would like to purify it one by one. Ah... that's not all, but I can take another adventure with Dick..."

"Everyone in the regiment asked me to lead the Knights, but I only told them to help me in times of trouble. I wonder if such a chief of cavalry is so frustrating."

"That's not true. I think it's enough to be a commander fighting on the front lines."

Everyone who goes on an adventure is naturally equipped quite differently than when they live in King's Landing. Brave men, wizards, fighters, monks - and auxiliary (supporters) me.

And a master dressed in white and unified gear, Verlaine, who changed into a made to wear boot that was easy to walk just under his feet. Our party came to these seven.

"It's been too long, and I may even forget how to fight. Don't pull your legs."

"Didn't you talk that way outside? Ver."

"Hmm... well, I'm not absolutely averse to that Vel..."

"Please, Val. When you need to eat in the labyrinth, your help is essential."

"Even Master... you're a coward, I can't believe you're teaming up. Well, I'm supposed to be a fighter, but food is important. Master, please tell me what to do."

The Silver Aquarium Pavilion is not closed - it's supposed to alternate between Guild members. After completing my exploration, I have a personal idea of wanting to take a break at the tavern when I return to the ground, and sometimes I don't want to suddenly close the shop and surprise the people on 12th Street.

"When we explore for one day, we'll work at the store the next day, right? Oh, my God, it's so easy."

"You're still young. It is our duty to fight. Yes, Alliance Master."

"Chi, how tiny is that? Soon you'll be like a Verlaine sister and taller than your older brother."

"Hmm... I hope so."

"Well, what do you mean by that? I'm so angry, I don't even know if I freeze it by mistake!

SS ranked brothers and sisters have peaceful interactions that they don't think will challenge the labyrinth. Rigel, Lyle and McKinley were supposed to go into the labyrinth after we made sure they were safe, but they were relaxed moderately, though in a good mood.

Sakuya, Liza, and some other Alliance members remain in the Alliance, but will enter the Labyrinth in rotation. This Labyrinth expedition will improve the overall level of my Alliance.

"Dee, do you measure the Adventurer Strength of the Alliance's children often? Otherwise, you won't be able to put the right material in the right place according to the strength."

"Oh, I see... I don't have a measuring instrument right now. We need to get a new one."

I want to update my Alliance's Adventurer Strength to the latest information. But I can't measure my Adventurer's strength with a normal measuring instrument.

"Well, I'll make you a measuring instrument. Because I think we'll probably find the ingredients. I have the skills of a measuring technician, but I can't measure Dee's strength, so I have to find an ultra-high quality Magic Charge Crystal and make a measuring instrument."

"I see. If there is a monster in the depths of this labyrinth, is it possible that it is producing it in your body?"

"Then let us measure it, too. I haven't measured it for a while, but I think it's going to grow."

Miralka has more teams to use than before, and her magic capacity has increased. The other faces will be growing as well as the others.

What kind of name would we be called then, more than "miracle children"? I was looking forward to it, and while I was talking about ourselves, I didn't know what was going to happen.
