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

After setting up a tent with Cody and putting Shelley to sleep in it, Lotte said she wanted to stay for the nursing, so she and her master decided to leave it to her.

"Hah, I jumped in. The lake is magical after all ~"

"Gyah... ah, Eileen, don't come up with your underwear on. The waves in Dick's soul will be disturbed."

"Eh, what does that mean... Dee, what did Dick say about me...?

To be honest, I have trouble with my eyes, but I cannot be upset by the temptation that I don't know whether it is natural or not, and I use magic to strengthen my reason.

This magic has the exaggerated name 'Beast of Reason', but it was originally used by assassins. Assassins have absolutely nothing to do with heterosexual affection.

But I feel like I shouldn't get used to this feeling of forcing my feelings to be as calm as the sea of water. If I become incapacitated, then I want Eileen to take responsibility for it - not if you're unexpectedly worried.

Eileen is trained as a fighter, so her abs may be slightly broken, but she's out of nowhere and has an impenetrable body. I can't complain about being thrown into the lake if I slap my body on the SSS rank.

"Dick has distant eyes... maybe she was afraid of naked women?

"When you say you're scared... that's a common story. Just get dressed over there. Is there an alternative to wet underwear?

"In reality, we have to take it off and dry it. Why don't you dry the trees in the shade over there? Dick keeps an eye out for the monsters."

"If you don't mind, I'll keep an eye on you... but I'll stay on this level until Shelly wakes up. I can't be too long."

"I'll have Verlaine's magic dry again. My hair is fine, but my underwear is a little... hey?

"While saying that, I find it difficult to upset your husband without clothing, and Eileen is not reluctant to stretch herself. Very helpful."

Verlaine towels Eileen's shoulders, impressed. Then they headed for the shade, a little further away, to change their clothes.

I thought I could finally solve the Beast of Reason.

Miralka sits on a cloth spread out on a short meadow. It's called a broken leg oneesan sitting, but I wonder why it feels so colorful. Is it because her skirt is too short and the way she seats herself in a naturally made shiba is too picturesque?

"... what? Don't stand there forever, sit there. Because of the shower, we're going to eat now."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll get ready."

"Hmm, that would be helpful. It is difficult for me alone to distribute all the money. After that, they'll be happy to have it with Master."

"Really? I don't think it's much different... but what is it? Don't look down silently."

"It's nothing. Oh, this isn't the baguette sandwich I ate before. I've been wanting to eat it for a long time, and it feels good for you, I'll compliment you."

"It's ideal to eat whatever you like. Even in the labyrinth, I don't want to be a snack."

I think it's the best compliment for Miralka, and you should take it from above without worrying about it. I peeled the baguette sandwich wrapped between "Bacon of White Pork" and "Lettuce of the Sun" and homemade cheese and gave it to Miralka.

Yuma can't eat meat and cheese, so she pulls them out and instead sandwiches them with vegetables and beans in a special sauce. The monk eats mainly beans instead of meat and fish, but the usual meal doesn't seem to taste very good, so I'd like to give her as much ingenuity as possible to eat something delicious.

"Thank you very much, Dick. My doctrine tells me that I can't eat meat...."

"I think it would be better to take dairy products because it's a growing season. It's hard not to eat cheese."

Yuma was afraid of being cared for, but somehow stared at Miralka's chest and moisturized her eyes.

"Hauu... that's right. If I don't get bigger, my dick will stay like this...."

"It's a lot bigger than when we first met. Well, it's a small one."

"This is a little thing, right? I don't think I should take that word for granted."

Yuma is sparkling. God is the only one who knows why I'm being hit by that fighting spirit.

"Because my father and mother are big, they still look tall. Don't worry about it."

"That's right, Mr. Cody. Dick, I'm going to grow up eating a lot, so please watch."

"Oh, I'm watching carefully so I can see the change."

"I have to compliment you honestly, when that happens. Should I tell Dick what to do with the lady?

If you go out to socialize, the ladies will be more popular than me. When Cody tells you that, I feel like you can tell me.

At the same time, however, if Cody went to such a place as Cordelia from a woman's point of view, she would also think. As a knight, I pass as a man, so it's impossible.

"... I don't know what you're thinking, but if you ask, I'll take your share, too. Eileen."

"Auf Wife! I'm hungry! Dick, what's mine?

"Hey, hey... what happened to your clothes? What are you wearing?"

Irene, dressed as if she had just wrapped a towel around her chest and hips, peeks at me as she sits and eats. I don't understand what I look like when I look forward in this outfit, but I'm defenseless.

"You can't wear clothes unless your underwear is dry. So I thought I'd wrap it around a towel for now."

"... there are rumors that the demons living in the mountains don't wear underwear, but what does Dick think?

"Well, no matter what they say, I can't deal calmly with the fact that I'm not equipped with underwear when they ask me about the shock...."

"Huh? Ah, chi, no. I wear it normally, but sometimes people in the village don't. It's been a long time since people started wearing underwear. So does Miralka, right?

"Nh... please don't shake me. I have lived my childhood as a child of civilization, so I have nothing to do with life without underwear."

Yuma is laughing and listening, but her cheeks are red. Neither should Eileen be too naive.

Cody, who was staring at Aileen, looked at me and asked.

"... it's not that big, is it?

"Suddenly I'm scared to hear it with my real face... so tell me a gentle story that looks like you're eating."

Cody doesn't always put it on the table, but I understand that she has something to think about Eileen and Miralka's style. I don't know what to tell me-

"From what I've seen, I don't think Cody's going to be humble either."

"... ah, thank you... don't let me say that. Nothing. I don't care.

"Ahh... what a friendship. It looks like Dick's hard work is getting into my heart."

"Master Eileen, it's all dried up... hmm? Why are you staring at me, Master Cody, Master Yuma... if you're staring so gently, don't you calm down?"

As Cody and Yuma float up, further developmental violence comes. Verlaine sat next to me with her neck bent - the same way Miralka sat when she touched my string again.

"I didn't know you could eat like an outdoor in the labyrinth. When I look at the clear lake, I feel at ease."

Verlaine was right, so I decided to take the water bottle out of her basket, pour a warm soup and drink it, then take a breath and deliver the meal to the masters.

◆ ◇ ◆

A tent stands in the shade of a tree just a short distance from the lake as it enters the forest. The area is quiet and there are no monsters lurking around.

But the animals seem to be here, and the birds sound. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not in the mood to be outdoors, as Verlaine said.

"It's me, it's Dick. I brought you some food. May I come in?

"Ah, Dee-kun... wait a minute, be as quiet as possible..."

Looking inside the tent, Lotte fell asleep next to Shelley. There was a battle with the Sandworm, there was a fight with Clive, and she must have been tired.

Shelley is still unconscious, but her chest is slowly rising and falling. Master looked at the two of them for a while before turning to me.

"Um, there's something I want to talk to you about... Dee, you might already have noticed."

"... oh, okay. Let's go outside."

Out of the tent, Master walks away from the lake towards the forest.

I'll keep quiet behind it. The master continued walking for a while shaking his long hair, which reached the silver back, and then stopped at a point where the forest opened a little.

She turned around and stared straight at me. When I look at her jewel-like eyes, I always think - there is no one else in such a mysterious figure.

And I wasn't even really human. She is a mortal being, similar to a human being.

Since I was summoned to the interrogation and learned of the existence of the "Snake", I had to ask my master something.

What did you do when you sealed the snake with the first King Albain a thousand years ago?

By listening to that, I must also touch on what I have always cared about.

"... you've really noticed, haven't you? It's strange that I was so easily forgiven."

"No... at first, I didn't think it was that strange. Given the difficulty of attacking this cave and the difficulty of crushing the snake, it was not strange that they would be able to reduce their sins to some extent by achieving it."

"Yeah... but that's not like paying for the people I hurt. The kingdoms don't really care about the Beasts or the Adventurers Guild. I think the top priority is' snakes'... even though they've been left alone for a long time."

The Master's sins will be forgiven if we take over the slaughter or seal of the "Snake" instead. That's what I was told at that hearing.

But the question arose as to whether it was really 'forgiveness'.

Send your master to this labyrinth. We're taking her to the Snake.

― ― Suppose that is the punishment that the Kingdom passed on to Master.

"... I don't think I need to listen to the Kingdom unconditionally. Prime Minister Lowe, Orlando, and Støren are going to ask when they return to Earth again. What are they really thinking?"

"Don't do that. That means Dee and your guild will make the kingdom an enemy."

"Of course, I'm not going to sell a big fight. I think they're responsible for Shelley's injury... and I can't overlook that."

"Yeah... when I was at the White Goat Pavilion, if I was moving in the direction of controlling his (Clive's) behavior, this wouldn't have happened. He never attacked the Red Twin Pavilion or had any grudges against them."

Not all threads were pulled by the master. The Guild Master of the White Goat Pavilion used his mentor's help to maintain his position as the top guild in King's Landing - not all malicious beginnings were masters.

Still, for her, all the guilds in the White Goat Pavilion, the King's City, were like the children she had created. I think what I did at the White Goat Pavilion is the same as what I did.

Indeed, Master participated in the evil of the White Goat Pavilion. Without her, some people would not have suffered - but it was.

Master must die for the kingdom.

"Dear, this is how I'm going to get into the labyrinth with you guys. I feel much happier fighting together than I used to be at a party. This is what I wanted...."

"... what's the point of saying that? Master, you know... no matter how far away the sentence of the Kingdom of Lowe is...!

― ― The Kingdom tells his master to die in order to seal "Snake".

It wasn't a pardon that was handed over to the master at that interrogation - it was the ultimate punishment that only the master could understand.

"... after all, you've noticed. I only told you a little about the old days. Maybe it's because of what happened to Shelly."

The altar that sealed the spirit of the snake empowered Shelley by offering her blood.

Blood is life. A sealed 'snake' responds to life.

And if I'm right, some people think they lost their lives in the process of locking up the snake a thousand years ago.

An immortal woman who was at the same party as her master. The other one, The Forsaken One.

A being who could not have died lost his life. I had to clarify why sooner. By listening to what happened from the master's mouth.

"What we need to seal the snake... is Master's... no. Of" The Forsaken "....."

"... yeah. I have to replace you. You sealed Snake before, instead of your best friend."

"Nh...!

How good would it have been if you had denied it?

When the "Snake" wakes up, the kingdom is destroyed. To stop it, you must sacrifice your master's life.

Neither the Prime Minister nor the Duke had asked us to do anything since the beginning.

Without saying anything, I entrusted my master, who knows all the circumstances, to embrace the labyrinth exploration.

"... Master... you said you were in a position to teach me. Everyone knows that, and wants to know the obvious."

"I'm being taught. I can't help it."

"Don't be so patient, you won't be admitted...!

Suppose I took Master to the depths of the Labyrinth without realizing anything.

Suppose she had slipped through this labyrinth to die laughing like she is now, sacrificed to the kingdom.

Even if I knew I was wrong, I wouldn't have been able to do nothing to the prime ministers.

"... no, Dee-kun. There's more to me than that. Don't rush me, Dee. I can go on an adventure with you. People who live like me shouldn't talk about luxury."

It's not strong or anything, it's the master's heart. The immortal girlfriend is struck by those who have only a limited life. Because I have lived for death rather than for loneliness.

And Master is still trying to teach me. What she knows about the Snake.

"This 100-storey labyrinth was originally on an island floating in the air. When it fell, the" snake "inside tried to destroy humans. I don't know who decided that. But we wanted to stop the Snake. That's because I couldn't see any more of the people dying of the mutation caused by the" snake. "

"An island in the air...?

"Yes, 'Berthalis' is the name of the island when it was floating in the air... because it was deep inside, 'Berthalis Snake'. The Snake was like a god, the power of a floating island."

Maybe I wasn't going to tell you until I actually sealed the snake.

But I realized. If you dive into the labyrinth without asking Master, you will kill her.

And I didn't intend to accept Master's readiness just because I heard it.

"... that's enough of the old story. I have something to tell Master."

"What do I have to say...?

What kind of creed have I lived since I left my master?

I'm not going to bend it again. As always - discreetly.

You can get drunk at the end of the counter in that flashy street.

"I don't want to stand out. The situation is very bad. No matter how careful you are, you can be expected to keep an eye on the demon king's achievements. The situation is the one I wanted to avoid the most. What am I supposed to do if my master dies? None of them can fulfill their ideals. If that happens, I'll give up labyrinth exploration. Nobody is responsible for knowing that they only think for their own convenience or for leaving this labyrinth behind. Then we can say the same thing. I didn't make a deal to pull us out anytime after the demon King was slaughtered. If I give you a reward that includes that, I will tell you from the beginning. Master, am I saying something strange?

"... Dee-kun"

I think I'm drinking, and I think I'm having a bad time with the kids.

If it is adults who swallow this and live it, and it is the ideal hero, it is too cramped.

"... so... let me find a way. The kingdom thinks that the" snake "can only be sealed by the death of its master, but it cannot accept it. I've never heard of a death row prisoner looking for a way to avoid capital punishment himself."

"... yeah, I've never heard of it. Dee-kun, you're being so reckless."

"Let me just say a few words. But I came back to crush the Demon King."

That said, the master relieved his expression a little.

Tears spill from the edge of your eyes. Because now you still think there's no other way than to die - and so on.

It will be too soon to expect a cry. I just declared my feet scratched, and the labyrinth search has just begun.

"...... ah......"

Master makes a small voice. In retrospect, Verlaine and her friends knew when they had been listening.

"I think they have the power to overthrow the impossible, even from me, who was crushed as a demon king. Master, don't hesitate to borrow your husband's help to make amends. If he is serious, Master will guarantee the future life of the people who caused trouble, and in some cases he will apologize one by one."

"... that's what I have to do. If I'm alive, I have to apologize alone."

When the master answers, Miralka comes before her this time. And I said it while making it very difficult to say.

"Suppose the kingdom interferes with you when you come back alive. Leave it to us then. I'll teach you that Dick is kind, but not me, with the aesthetic of destruction."

I couldn't let Miralka do that, but it was her concern for her master.

She's not always honest, but she's not tender - rather the opposite.

"... ah, without you, Dick might not have joined the crusaders... and I can't deny that I survived because of him... I'll be on your side as long as I can."

"Yeah... thank you, Miralka. Thank you for looking at us, Dee."

"I didn't always see it, but... as an observation object, it has a certain value..."

I didn't hear you whispering afterwards, but I think you are saying something that is very irritating, so it would be kind not to ask.

"When you look at Miralka, sometimes you can't stay like this, even if you're there. Don't you?"

"But I think we should be honest about that. Dick used to say there were too many thorns in the flowers."

"Flowers are a symbol of paradise. Dick seemed to be watching the paradise through Miralka's soul..."

Miralka also heard the feelings of each of the three, and as she blushed her cheeks, she stared at me - but her eyes were not as aggressive as usual.

I don't think I should rely too much on them, but I do trust them more than anyone else. Every time I check it, I think. Even if you get stronger to live alone, that doesn't mean you can live alone.

"Dean, I have to go see Shelly and the others. I'm worried because we're all here."

"Oops... that's right. I wanted you to keep an eye on me."

"No problem, Lotte was in trouble. Sherry will soon be awake."

Bring him back to where the tent is. The master who walks while talking to everyone else naturally shows a smile.

If she can save the kingdom by dying, it will pay for her sins. That would also be one way of thinking.

- I don't accept the conclusion. Adventure the labyrinth ahead to find hope. I hope that Master will not die, that she will pay for her sins in another way, and that she will live with us.
