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

After defeating the Spiritual Dragon, before heading to the next level, we were investigating the gems and gold coins dropped by the scattered Spiritual Dragon.

Dragons like things that glow and have the habit of storing treasures in negura. It doesn't seem to be the same as a corpse dragon (dragon zombie), under which Miralka shattered the ground, not only bones, but also huge amounts of gold and jewelry were buried.

"After all, monsters of SSS rank have a big reward for defeating them. Dee, with this, you can buy a whole town."

Master picks up the jewels and observes them with monocular glasses. It is rare enough to be treated as a national treasure simply because it is a gem of high purity enough to ride in the palm of a hand.

"We were enemies of the Demon King class, so we should have that kind of harvest... but every time it happens, it's hard to sort it out because it's too big."

"The Labyrinth Explorer has a reward in the national budget, so I don't have to distribute it. It may be helpful if there is something ahead of us. I'll keep the valuables in my cage."

Verlaine only holds more than 5,000 gold coins in her cage, even among the gems appraised by her master. Eileen doesn't seem very worthy, but she liked the red gems and brought them to me.

"Hey, Dick, can I take it home and make it an accessory?

"Oh, that's good. I got the Core, so don't hesitate to take it if anyone wants it."

"Wow! Can I have one of these? I can't get in if I have a lot of them."

"Bring me a pouch when you come to the labyrinth."

Miralka only has a bag that holds minimal accessories, and it's packed in my napsack. She also seemed somewhat interested in jewelry, bending down to pick up the stone.

"Dick, can I have this?

"Oh, you don't have to get my permission."

Well then, I'll just have one too. I wanted a stone to make pierced earrings, so don't help me. "

"Even the shards of sacred stone that may remain after purifying the spirit of death... ah, even such a big one... wow... after purifying the filth accumulated in the accumulation for 640 years..."

It seems that the Holy Stone is a remnant of a purified soul that can be gained when you purify and defeat a monster of the Reaper System.

Since it is used for various purposes in the church, monks do not need anything else in return if they can bring back the sacred stone by the spirit of the dead. The people of the village who Yuma saved under the mask will donate to the church from her, but the truth is that the sacred stone is worth more than it needs to be. Purifying the Dead Spirit didn't guarantee it, but it also appealed to the value.

Such a rare item, what Yuma had was the size of a jewel on her palm. With all the pickups that were too valuable, my senses were paralyzed - I just defeated the Corpse Dragon to earn the profit my Alliance had been running for a year.

"Dick, I think if you leave the rest of the treasure and the rest of the Alliance takes it back to Earth, the market will collapse a lot."

"It's okay about that. Just for the record, we have a route that you can trade for rare materials that are not available in this country so that the value of labyrinth gems and other things doesn't drop too much. Well, nobles hate spilling too many precious gems to other countries. I'm going to adjust it."

"Dick is also influential in the Merchant Guild... we buy the supplies we need, but it's just a customer relationship."

Lotte admires me and looks at me with respect. Even though it has not been so favorable until now, this inversion has moved my mind - and I feel like I was hit the same way when I was in Miralka.

"I hope we can distribute the rewards to those who participate in the operation according to merit. I think the treasure I found on my own can cover the cost of my exploration."

"The main task is to defend the transition. Most monsters are cleaned and won't wear out unless they spring up again. However, it seems that adventurers above A rank are more likely to be on assignment outside."

"I don't think so. I don't think so in the King's City right now, a task that requires the strength of rank A. It would be more meaningful to hunt the monsters we spilled than to spare time."

If this labyrinth exploration hadn't begun, many would have lost their jobs. But if we don't dive a little faster, we'll have less men to defend, and people on the ground will have plenty of time to spare.

However, if you pay in advance so that you don't have to worry about your life, there are many people who disappear when you get an advance. There are many contracts in which the advance money is 10 against the advance money 1, or punishment units are often set up to capture those who abandon the request and escape, but this is due to the rule of thumb that money can still change people.

(What you take is like winning and leaving a gem of high value is also a problem... I can't help it)

"After all, it's a change of policy. In the meantime, I'll pick up all the big gems. We might need some money in the future."

"Your husband said he wanted to increase his base in Japan. The harvest in this labyrinth should also be saved for such a plan."

Verlaine is right, but I remember one thing that bothered me.

I always wear the "Demon King's Talisman" she gave me. I didn't say that to Verlaine, but she borrowed the power of the Demon King's talisman in the earlier battle.

In other words, Verlaine could have brought out the Demon King's talisman whenever she wanted to. But why didn't you?

"... just now. I still can't seem to deceive you."

"You've worked hard enough so far. If the Demon King's talisman is capable of exerting its natural powers....."

Verlaine approached me. And I whispered in my ears long enough to touch my ears.

"If I take it back, will I have to go home? Even so, I came out with unparalleled readiness. It's not that easy to go home....."

"Nh... ah, what kind of reason did you leave the country for?

Verlaine laughed a lot and took a proper distance and put her index finger on her lips.

"I may have done enough for my brother to raise my funeral. Of course it's buried."

"... you are. Isn't that an indestructible determination?"

"The Devil King... No, His Majesty the Former Devil King. That's what happened... to Dick..."

Beatrice has redness on her cheeks for some reason. If you don't do something about that naked apron as soon as possible, it's very poisonous in my eyes. In the meantime, I'll put an unused coat on her.

But Verlaine still didn't say anything, and she continued talking with a sad sigh at me and Beatrice.

"I was going to scratch your neck at first, but this man was scarcely cleared. Even when I'm asleep, I grab my wrist and stop moving. Speaking of demon kings, I'm no match for the power of a woman and a brave man, and I'm calling you Master, so I begged you to bear with me... when I think of that time, my body still burns."

"Wait... I haven't heard that before. I rolled in on my own and prepared my maid's clothes myself."

"That's to alarm your husband. But on the first night, I was reminded of my rating… five years, I was supposed to be quite trained, but I couldn't. What did I think then... Beatrice, can you imagine?

"... well, I am... afraid of the devil's thoughts. Dick-sama might want to accompany you for the rest of your life....."

Why - I wonder if I don't know much about the Devil Clan. Verlaine and Beatrice have a habit of following the strong.

Did it really happen that I fell asleep and decided on a sleeping trick or something for Verlaine, and I let him give in? If I did such a thing, I felt uncomfortable thinking that you would be responsible if you told me.

"Hey, I heard you talking. He tried to scratch his head, so I don't think he needs to think about taking responsibility."

"Yes, that's right. That's right, it was close. I was just thinking about taking responsibility a long time ago."

"Wow, you almost said that. Beatrice, I think you've seen it now, but your master's strategy is very simple and obvious. We have to approach each other with practice."

"No, no... what do I say, demon king..."

Beatrice still kept it a secret that he spent the night with me to replenish his magic. I can't predict what happens when I find out, but it's not hard to imagine that the party air will deteriorate subtly.

But even with a little mouthful, Miralka and Verlaine turn into a pink expression. With a glimpse of the cold, I switched topics in the middle of the day.

Cody, I can see the entrance to the next level. You want to scout?

"Ahahah... even if you use me as an escape route, I'll be in trouble. Well, I guess I have to be on your side."

I was distracted, but Cody was kind of friendly, and he took on a scout role with me.

The ten floors consisted only of a large hall with a corpse dragon, and there was a descent to the eleventh floor. Beyond the spiral-shaped slope, there is a faint transition magic formation, surrounded by wobbly weathered pillars.

Grasp the entire hierarchy with the light of Cody's Sword Spirit. "Exploring the Light (Laser Search)" is magic, but it took a little longer than before to finish exploring.

"This floor... looks like there's a big building in the woods over there."

It is no longer surprising that there is a forest in the cave. Because in a hierarchy where light comes in from somewhere like this floor, there is no obstacle to plants growing.

"Buildings... who built them? Oak or something."

"No, it's not that kind of monster. The soldiers of the kingdom certainly used to defend the labyrinth in the past. But at one stage, my defense was at its limit, and I was forced to retreat little by little, and at the end, I had to defend the first floor..."

"When you were on this floor, did you build anything and have a base?

"I see. Unlike the" Altar of the Snakes "you mentioned, it seems to be made with the skill of Knights operatives. But it seems to have been abandoned decades ago, so if we investigate, we may not find anything."

If you don't have a powerful monster, you might want to leave it to someone else. Cashmere from the Indigo Maiden Pavilion is here, so you can ask them or Leonid.

◆ ◇ ◆

After summoning all the parties, the Master began restoring the magical formation, Miralka cut out the cylindrical stone with the magic of the formation, and Eileen brought it in to form the stone altar.

"Miralka's magic has a way of using it."

"If you apply destruction magic, you can shape it into a certain shape."

"Holy shit! I wonder if that's all. Master, is the magic team ready soon?

"Yeah, I'm almost done... okay, I'm done. Dee, you're leaving today, aren't you?

"Oh, can we all go first? I'll call the first floor and the sixth floor before I leave."

On my instructions, everyone went back to the silver water bottle pavilion. If I choose my own destination, I will first move to the sixth floor.

The scenery changes and you feel people around you. My guild's transfer engineer thanked me for seeing me transferred.

"Thank you for coming home safe, Alliance Master."

"Ah, you're tired too. Sorry to bother you."

"No, it's an important part of this operation. Everyone is ready and waiting."

He is a man of great age, but he respects me. That's because I'm paying the right amount of money, but I appreciate the loyalty and dedication of competent people to my job.

"Once you've settled down, let's all drink together in the guild. I'm going to play the reward."

"Oh, that's the best part. We are satisfied with the treatment, but we are happy to have the opportunity to talk, as we will each be placed in the Transfer Magic Team."

"No, I'm going to give you a temporary reward. Give your family a good report."

I want to reward my Alliance members for their participation in this operation as Alliance Masters. I just wanted to convey that feeling, but he kept his head down all the time.

"Well, thank you for that... Kasumi-san, Leonid. Good work. Mr. Leonid, did you come through five levels?

Mr. Leonid's party is wounded. Mr Leonid came here with his head shut and apologised.

"I took my advice and was driven by curiosity. After playing with the black metastasis, the bone monster flew away... several times and finally managed to escape. No, I thought I was gonna die."

"I'm sorry I thought you were going to die, Mikoto. Dick is not joking about advising, so he should follow whatever his arm remembers."

"Ugh... I can't argue with that. But I think we're done exploring from one level to five. The trap of diversion will already be stopped."

Sometimes this happens, so I wonder if we should get rid of the difficulties as much as possible. Mr. Leonid is trustworthy, but he has a lot of blood on his balls.

"Thank you for being safe, Mr. Leonid. I know the blood makes a scene in front of that device, and so did our people."

"I'm sorry, leave the person in charge to Miss Kasumi, and you can take your own adventures. Still, Dick, the treasure you left behind rolled in incredible quantities, but you can clean it up for now, right? Our guilds are shaking and gathering."

"Yes, please distribute it to the waiting group. We've decided to take our share of killing monsters ourselves, but you'll miss the bonus because we're almost there."

"You... I knew it, but you're an incredibly big man with a vessel."

"Does waiting group include us? That's luxurious... Dick, is that all you got?

The harvest from the Corpse Dragon is worth more than the harvest from the shallower monster. As Shelley feared, it would have an impact on the kingdom's economy if she took it home and exchanged it for cash.

However, the treasure left behind by bug bears and oaks is too much money for ordinary adventurers. Find the subspecies' nest and take home the treasure, it will reach the monthly income of the adventurer, and the worse it is, the less it will be able to live without doing anything for a few years.

That's how adventurers often don't move to other jobs when they get hit by work. Those who have risen once in adventure find it difficult to live a second life in other professions.

"In recent years, there have been some guild members suffering from a lack of requests... I shouldn't say that, but this labyrinth mission can be said to be a blessing in a sense. It's not ironic, because the Snake has the power to destroy the King's City."

"Well, defeating the monsters and villains on the ground is essentially the same. Think about it, now let's do our jobs... Dick, say that and commit recklessness. You might want to reprimand me, but I'm seriously reflecting. Will you keep my guild from exploring?"

"Oh, no, I haven't thought about it at all. Mr. Leonid, I've been up to 11 floors, so can you reassign your guard? Also, there is an affordable exploration location on the eleventh floor, so please work with Kasumi to investigate. It's up to you two to decide whether or not to leave it to someone else."

Oh, and Leonid brightens his eyes. Kasumi opens her eyes, which have been closed for a long time - the "heart eye" gives her sight, but her eyes do not reflect anything. But you should be able to see me.

"... I haven't talked about that yet. Dick, I still want you to hold that position. I don't like you, but I don't have anyone else."

"Yes... Grand Alliance Master. When the 12 Alliances were inaugurated, it was the title of the one who oversaw them all. Only the first master of the colorless serpent pavilion was called by his name."

"I'd like to discuss it again after this assignment."

"Fufu... you're an itchy man, as usual. I know it won't be easy, but seeing such a lord makes me want to make a deal with you."

Mr. Kasumi has a longing for me in the Demon King Crusaders, and I have been asked to make arrangements many times in the past, but it is not convenient for me to accept it.

"I will do my part to get you to review. Master Leonid, let's pick someone to move to the next level."

"Ah, before that... Kasumi-san, I think the man with the bandage on his face was in today's expedition. Do you know how you got involved?

"Not a guy named Garrett. An A-ranked adventurer who has joined today's quest and moved into six levels. The man, after joining the six-story patrol unit earlier, lost him... wondering if he was caught in a trap."

Garrett - Clive infiltrated the person. Then I wonder if Garrett is alive. If you are imprisoned somewhere, is it possible that you will get caught in the information network?

"Thank you for telling me, Mr. Kasumi. That's all you need to know."

"I've been telling you since I first met you, don't you think it would be nice to talk to me more casually?

"You're not good at honoring me? I understand... no, I understand. Mr. Cashmere, is this all right?

"Uh-huh. That's good... rather, that's good. From now on, I want you to keep going."

"Kuku... Dick, you won't get stabbed, but you'll be kidnapped.

"I hear something, Leonid. I'm not a scoundrel, so I won't do that."

I didn't say anything about Kasumi, but she pulls the line somehow.

But what happens to kidnapping if it's temporary? They tied me up and said, "Kill me! I wonder if they would say that.

When you tie me up, it's a big deal to escape. Conversely, I can only tie you back and my vision comes to mind. If you tie Kasumi's characteristic equipment with a rope made of a loose cloth, you'll derail too much.

"Even though I have an elf woman in charge of the tavern and she lives with me... Dick has a lady in trouble, but I'm going to pay for it. You don't mind if I count on you?

"Um... for now, can you let me think about it after we make a deal?"

"I don't think I'm in a hurry to go to my wife yet. He's been a very bold young girl these days."

Yes, Kasumi was somehow in love with me.

I don't think they like me just because I'm strong - asking what I like from here is too much self-awareness.

"Rumor has it that the hospitality at the Silver Bottle Pavilion is wonderful. I would like you to come as a customer when this matter is settled."

"I don't mind if you come at any time. Leonid, if you have trouble eating elsewhere in time, please come to our shop."

"Whoa, okay? Then I guess I'll take care of you soon. I don't really want to take you, but I didn't ask my grandson if he wanted to go to the silver water bottle pavilion... let me tell you one thing, don't touch him. It's only 15 years old."

"Well, it's okay. What do you think I am?"

Kasumi and Leonid don't answer right away and shrug their shoulders. It is a face that cannot be said from this mouth.

In a situation where the party members are women other than me, I wonder if they think they like women... I'm not doing anything hard, and I'm supposed to be keeping a proper distance.

"Serious femicide isn't tough. It would be helpful for a woman to have a moderately bad habit."

"I think it's better if it's rigid than a player. Well, stop messing around and get stabbed for real. Hahaha...!

Cashmere and Leonid head to their guild member, laughing happily.

When they say eating away, I think about what eating is first.

(... well, that's what I'm talking about... seeing party members like that is against my doctrine... no, but...)

Even as the surrounding landscape began to change, I was delusional because Leonid told me something strange.
