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

Third-story forest bug bears were no longer attacked after about 30% of the area had been cleaned, and we just occasionally watched from afar. Apparently, we've already been rated among them, and they've recognized us as superior.

It means that Bugbear has that kind of intelligence, but when we convinced him not to waste his life because we were strong, he didn't understand the words, so we had to fight anyway.

And when everybody had finished drying their clothes, I had Verlaine's fireball used, and I took off my gear and dried it.

"A labyrinth monster weathers very quickly. It's already back in the dirt."

"This hierarchy seems to have a powerful plant spirit. The rate of decomposition into soil is hundreds of times higher than on the ground. If you remove the equipment other than inorganic objects and put it on the ground, it may also be disassembled."

My body is hardened with leather gear, reinforced with metal plates and armored with minimal defensive reinforcement. With Enhanced Magic, you don't need that much equipment.

When the firefly dragon peels, everything like "scale" and "skin" is replaced, so you can take those materials. Thanks to this, some of my gear is now available in firefly dragon leather. It is not the strongest material, but it is also quite strong and flexible, so it is better not to interfere with the movement. The weakness is that it is vulnerable to water, but it can be offset by waterproof processing.

When I took off the leather undershirt and put it on the ground, my master walked over here and kept my gear.

"As Miralka says, putting it on the ground may spoil it. Dee, while you're equipped, it's okay because you're covered in magic."

"Oh, thank you, Master. Is everyone's gear okay?

"We laid the magic cloth Vel gave us and put it on top of it."

"You should have sent it to your husband. With my powers, I could weaken the influence of the spirits around me or put them under my control. I don't like to play tricks on the spirits that go further."

Once I went with everyone to find out what I had picked up from the Bugbear, but Master and Verlaine came back to help me change. But I'm not stupid enough to point that out.

"... no, you don't have to help me with that."

"Muh... Master, if this happens, Master will be willing to take care of us too. Looks like you've been rejected for a long time?

"It's not rejection, Dee. You're just a shy guy, and you're really glad we saw you. Look, your cheeks are tingling a little bit."

"Well, this isn't about being happy, it's about not knowing what kind of face to look like."

"Heh... I don't think that's a good idea. Then you should use our help to be more efficient."

"Yes, Dee-kun, I have to take it off next time. It doesn't have to be all of them."

Originally, I wanted to take them all off and dry them, but then I think they might be like wrapping meat around my body and jumping into a beautiful carnivorous herd.

At that time, the effectiveness of "Mental Defense (Mind Guard)" was expiring, and before calling back, my master read my mind a little.

"Fufu... Dee, you're like a female cat to Vel."

"Wow, I wonder if that's a compliment or a positive analogy to a woman, as the saying goes."

"I've thought about it, but I'm not calling you a bitch. Besides, I wasn't just thinking about Verlaine, I was thinking about Master."

"I can't let Dee see you like that. Ver has a pulse, so I need you to do your best."

"Ah, if you guys just keep your mouths shut, you're not just interrupting Dick's change. I think it's negligent for us to pick up the jewels and play with them."

"Meanwhile, Miralka is coming with us."

"Well, I have to be careful... Dick, what are you looking at?

Miralka stares at me, but her face gradually turns red. I'd like to concentrate on drying my gear, but I can't help but think about it carefully because it's shining brightly.

"... my God, why are you wearing such a body even though you only drink it every day? It's a female enemy."

"I don't know... Dee-kun, can I say that?

"Well, can I say it in this face? I always use reinforcement magic to put a strain on my muscles. Otherwise, the meat will soon come on."

"I was using such a backhand technique... Dick, I thought you might be powering it up sometimes. Were you unloaded at that time? You're gonna do it."

Eileen also occasionally put a weight on her wrist and ankle for training, forgot to ask for a favor with it on, said in front of the enemy, "I forgot to put it on," dropped the weight on the ground, and lost the enemy's war. As part of her heroic legend, she often talks to her allies about drinking.

In my case, it's like living with invisible bars (springs) that load my whole body. I still am, but I am ready to release my limits whenever I need to.

"I want to train like Dick. Then, like your father, you can break rocks with your bare hands and move fast."

"I'd better leave it to Eileen to break the rock. Yuma is not a monk, but a pure priest."

"Really...? I think it's time for Dick to carry it..."

"It's okay, Yuma. I think Dick's carrying my sister, so I'm happy to do it."

"Sister...? Dick, do I look like Dick's sister?"

"No, I'm the youngest, so I don't have any siblings. Everyone's like a sister when they're younger. But if I had a sister like Yuma, I might have lived a little more calm as a child."

I've barely talked about it in the past, but since I met my mentor, I've had more opportunities to remember. I'll just sit back and see if it's unusual for me to say that.

"... whatever I say, sometimes I want to talk a long time ago. I don't know them too well."

I've never been more concerned about not knowing about everybody before.

Why Miralka chose the Demon King Crusaders and how Eileen lived in the Ghost village. How Cody brushed his arms when he was a child, and how Yuma persuaded his sweet parents to join the Demon King Crusaders.

I can't say that I know a lot about Verlaine or my master. Still adventuring as a companion can't help feeling that it is a marriage.

"Guys, if your face turns so bright red, you don't have to go near Dick.

Cody, who was watching from afar, tended to come here reluctantly. The most embarrassing thing about myself in men's clothes is that I don't look good, or when I walked in here, I usually looked at me directly.

"... hah. When I look at you, I wonder what my masculine attire means."

"My clothes aren't dry yet, and I don't feel comfortable reacting even if I'm praised too much. Guys, why don't you just grab something to eat and slow down?

"It's not bad to have a cup of master's forged body on a dish."

"Yeah, I've collected something that seems to have fallen off. I cleaned Ver's box and put it in it, so Dee, you should check it out when you get back on the ground."

After drying his hair, Master tied silver hair into two pieces. Is it easier to move, or is it a mood shift?

As a good thing, everyone but the minor Yuma is watching me while drinking, which is a bad situation for education - before the clothes dry, I feel like I should open them up and show them a muscle proud pose.

(Still... you said what you wanted to say, those two)

Eileen and Miralka's rating of "bitterness" is something that I would like to change somehow, but when I think about what to do specifically to show masculinity, I often think of things that are very impossible to implement. I had to switch my mind because it seems better to think only about adventure now.

◆ ◇ ◆

How about, for example, fighting in the front sometimes? It's not particularly difficult, as long as the appraisal of melee fights doesn't reveal any SSS-ranked monsters, you can't hurt me. However, since my role is an assistant, I should also complete that role.

Thinking about that, she leaves the three floors. It took fifteen minutes as fast as possible, because Dragon Kimira was paving the way. It wasn't a straight line, but there were places where the road was broken, such as turning around in the woods or flying forward, so I asked Cody to teach me the terrain, and we searched for the shortest route ourselves.

What I think is that the bug bears aren't trying to get close to the four-storey entrance, but they're showing something scary. And around the four-storey entrance, it seems that the bug bears dropped things, stone equipment and so on are scattered - what does that mean?

"Dick, I hear something. Something's coming from the fourth floor."

"Did you smell us? Apparently, the Bugbears were afraid of the monsters underneath and kept away...."

Carnivorous beast or something? The forest is broken and the view opens up, and from the passage to the lower layer where the rock skin is exposed, someone comes closer with a loud voice that echoes from the bottom of the earth.

It was the beast demon with a big body on top and side, twice as big as us, with a pig face.

The difference between the Beast Man and the Beast Demon is whether or not to conduct cultural activities. There are also the pigs (oaks), but the pigs (oaks) belonging to the Beast Demon are treated very differently even if they have the same name. It is said that the pig demon was born when the pig tribe intersected with the demon tribe, and the pig tribe formed a family by having children with humans, their families, and other beast races, just like other beast tribes.

In this labyrinth is the orc that is treated as a monster. The figure is walking on two feet, wearing only minimal equipment, and I don't feel intelligence close to humans.

"--Bumoooooooo!!!!

Should it be a pig or a pig-shaped demon roar? One after another, the orcs opened their mouths lined with fangs and attacked them with salivation, holding weapons that were not even sticks that had been properly cut down into trees.

Miralka, who was walking a little behind, had already developed a magical formation. For the first time in a long time, he has cold eyes staring at something to despise.

"I'll destroy it. I don't really want to be seen by monsters who are just being honest about their desires."

"Hmm... that's right. Everyone hated orcs."

An oak or a human-shaped demonic monster is almost half naked, so it's no wonder a woman doesn't want to see it very much. Even in our guild, it is mostly men who are in charge of subhuman monster hunting. Because it is not gender discriminatory, women may participate in auction slaughter if they so wish.

The orcs who had been in the Labyrinth for thousands of years, I don't know what kind of ecology they had, but they ignored me and their desire for other female formations was ripped out. But I want to keep my mouth shut for a while.

"Mr. Oak also says that some of the pigs are called wise men, but if they try to talk, they will be bitten. Ah, I want to teach you the mercy of God and the spirit of forgiveness...."

"It's okay to fight, but if you put out that kind of feeling in front of you, you can also feel the feeling of crossing fists. Look, I'm a maiden too."

"Let's pause for now. Light Sword Light Blade Light Barrage Valet Curtain

"Booooooo!"

The orc has a high regenerative power from the beginning. Like Dragon Kimira, these abilities are enhanced, and even if you are attacked by Cody, who would normally be incapable of fighting with a single blow, your wounds will be blocked by a bullshit regenerative force, leaving it to momentum to push forward.

"--It's done. Next, reborn into a pretty creature."

Miralka said, holding her fist and showing. The magic team that was already deployed on the ground will follow her magic and have an effect.

― ― Wide-area extermination type 12 destructive vibration team ―

Invisible vibrations from the edge of the magical formation run through the bodies of the orcs. Shortly afterwards, they explode like sand and are destroyed - a taboo magic formation that must never be used against humans.

Ten orcs were left to vanish, and the aftermath of destruction shook the air for a while, but as it calmed down, Miralka sighed.

"Oak only has the intelligence to see women as women, so we need to destroy them carefully."

I don't know if Miralka likes orcs, but it wasn't enough to destroy them with magic. The cold eyes that look at the wreckage of the orc make her twitch for the first time in a long time - don't make her angry, never.

"If the Knight Woman is caught by an orc," Kill her! It's like saying, "I don't care how you look at it, it's not that bad."

"Isn't that an image from some of the materials written behind the bias against the orcs? The orc is not interested in other species of females except during breeding season."

"Some dark elves prefer orcs, but Vel doesn't do that, does she?

"My men had a pig clan, but no pig demons. As you can see, pig demons don't listen... even if it's my personal hobby, there's nothing appealing about pig demons."

"Nevertheless, Miralka can be trusted. The only way to defeat a regenerative monster is to break a bone."

"Yes, leave it to me. If the next level is an orchid's nest, we'll destroy the whole area without asking questions. Dick, will you allow that?

"No, no... I don't want the hierarchy to collapse, just the orc. I was told that, but can't Miralka's space magic penetrate the lower rock and descend down?

"That's what I thought, but if you try to cut this rock for more than a certain amount of time, the hardness is too high and it takes time to decompose. Not all hierarchies are like that, but in the shallow, there are measures to keep them from falling below."

There are pitfalls in the labyrinth, but it seems impossible to go down such a path. This is not always the case, so I want to find an easy way forward.

◆ ◇ ◆

By defeating the orc, we were entirely recognized as three levels long by the bug bear. That's why I'm telling them not to attack if humans come. I can say that Bugbear is more intelligent than a pig demon just by listening to simple instructions.

And as soon as I entered the four levels, it became a definite pig demon festival, so Miralka spread the magic team to the ultra-wide area for the first time in a long time, and wiped out all the monsters in the hierarchy with the "destruction vibration team". It took me fifteen minutes to expand my magic team, but since I have enough strength to struggle with adventurers of A rank, I will never go beyond cleaning them up.

Three floors were followed by four floors filled in the forest. Until I activated the vibration team, I heard the voice of the pig demon from over there, but it suddenly quieted down. As you walk through the quiet forest, there are gems left behind by the pig demons, old coins that do not hold the prototype.

"Phew... it's a bit of a magic drain. I thought I'd destroy all the monsters on every floor from here, but it's not very efficient."

"Don't overdo it, we're not tired at all, so we should share the fight."

"Miralka, it looks pretty boring, and I'll carry Yuma, so why don't you let Dick carry her until she recovers?

"Hmm... I'm not so tired. Ah...."

Miralka rushed to Eileen and her applause fluttered and was supported by Verlaine, who was nearby.

"This may be the pathetic reason for poor misfortune. When you deplete your magic, there's no way to be a weak maiden."

"I hope Dick recovers. Don't you have a drink to restore your magic?

"If there's one who takes the time to twitch and is happy in 30 minutes. He's quick, he's recoil, and the ingredients are precious, so he can't use them."

"... if you say that, there's no reason to say no."

"I want Miralka to preserve her strength when it matters. This is also a party help."

Because Cody smiled refreshingly, Miralka had a slippery face, but instead of Yuma, she got on my back.

"... the feeling Yuma said she wanted to train her body is soaked in her body. Tell me a little bit about how to strengthen you."

"It's good to train so hard. All right, let's go to the magic team on the sixth floor."

"The next floor was a maze on the map, so we need to be careful with the trap. I can sense the trap, so I'll lead the way."

Each hierarchy also changes the active members. He hurried to the next level, thinking that the seven of us were right to dive.
