Finally, they entered the building of the Center Guild Headquarters.

　On the demon territory side, it would be the equivalent of the Demon King's Castle, but it was huge for that reason.

''Ohhhh~, it's amazing!''

　Maleeka also looked up at the palace with surprise.
　Yes, it was so big and luxurious that it could be called a palace.

''Isn't the site of this building alone bigger than Lax Village?　What kind of things do they have to build these big things to do?
Maybe there's no particular reason.

　That's how it is with most things that show power.

　Now how did it get inside?
　Will you be able to get the Chancellor to intervene successfully?　But my fears were immediately dispelled.

　There was a person waiting to greet me at the entrance.

"You must be Dariel-sama and his family. We have been expecting you.

　He welcomes you with a very polite manner.

I'm sure you are tired after your long journey, but the board of directors is looking forward to meeting you. I'm sure you are tired and tired from your long journey, but the board is looking forward to meeting you.
Good.

　I expected it, but Center Guild. They seem to be all about me.

　As soon as I was urged by the guiding officer to enter the building, there were countless eyes focused on me.

"That's even more attention than I expected.

　It was too much gaze pressure, and Gran, who was being held by Marryka next to her, started to chafe.
　This guy at his age has already become sensitive to the presence of others.......
　.........that's my boy!

　By the way, Radey, who accompanied me up to this point, was separated when we entered the Center Guild Headquarters.

''There's someone waiting for you at the Brave Lord. Please come this way.
Mr. Dariel, I'll see you later...

　It was quite impressive how lonely Radey's loneliness was as they parted like a sold calf.

　Well, as it is, the inside of the Center Guild is quite uncomfortable.
　It's because everyone is paying attention to me.

　The adventurer-like appearance, and the clerk-like and janitor-like people who clearly aren't.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

''........Is that the rumored one?
Doesn't look like him at all, does it?　The atmosphere is loose...?
No, there's something in his eyes...?

　The whispering also reaches my ears perfectly.
　At the very least, I hope the whispering is at a volume that he can't hear.

"Everyone's watching you, aren't they...?

　The gaze is so thick that even the average person, Malika, notices it.
　The number of gazes itself is also large. The quantity and quality of people in the village are still very different from those in the countryside of Laxx.
　I felt like I was baptized in the city.

　But it's not just being treated as a rare beast.
　There were also reunions with familiar and familiar faces.

''Well done!''

　It was Mr. Alanziel.
　And you're the brave one to greet us.

Long time no see.
Don't act like a stranger!　Isn't he your father, you could have greeted me in a more friendly manner!

　Even so, you're still afraid of me.
　It's not just the daily spiritedness, but also the fear that was imprinted on me from the days of the demon king's army, when I was an enemy against them, as my original experience.

'And Gran has come too?　You wanted to see your grandfather that badly?　My darling hahahahaha...!

　Then he begins to bother Gran.
　The strongest brave man's tension is strange.
　Was he like this to begin with?　I thought you said that getting your immediate family back has brought about a marked change in your personality?

　From the surroundings......

"Son?　It's just as they say!
I don't think I've ever seen Master Arantziel so eager to play.
'Even my grandchildren!

　

' ...Well Dariel.
Yes, sir.

　He became suddenly serious.

'I've heard what you've come here for. You're in for a disaster.
'I've been prepared for this for a long time, but...'
'This is the nest of the gourmets. As soon as there's a tasty bait, they'll come to you. I was trying to keep it a secret because I knew that if they knew I was related, they wouldn't leave me alone.
Stories like this must have leaked out of him.
This time I know where it leaked out. I made sure it got cleaned up.

　The phrase 'cleaning up afterwards' as he calls it is terrifying.

' "...What did you do to Zester?

　I have a pretty good idea how the secret got out.

It's the Zester, the hammering hero.
　I'm not sure if the "former" is attached to it now, though.

　That guy knew about my blood relationship with me and Mr. Aranziel, and he slipped up and Roselwy came.
　The whole thing seemed to spread from there.

'You're the soft-spoken man of example, though.... I'm training him. I'll have to beat the light-heartedness out of you to easily divulge the facts you've been trusted and told.'

　Did Mr. Alanziel train Zester in person?
　Isn't that rather a reward?
　Isn't he a big fan of Mr. Alanziel?

I understand you're meeting with the board of directors.
Yes, sir.
I don't think you have anything to worry about, but I want you to be careful out there. They are an upstart group of people who have taken advantage of others. You have to be a master at parasitism to be able to grow that fat.

　It's so poignant.
　Predictably, Mr. Arantzill doesn't seem to have good feelings about the Council.

　The brave and courageous Mr. Alanziel is a thoroughgoing field man, and those in the background are just people who would snatch the profits from the bloodshed of the warriors on the front lines and eat and drink without risking their lives.

I'll accompany you to the meeting. "I'll be there for the meeting, and if I keep a close eye on them, they won't be able to say anything useful.

　Although it's dependable, it's a bit embarrassing to be accompanied by your father in a public place at a good age.

''Um.........sorry to say that we're in the midst of a great time, but.......!

　Maleeka interrupted me.

'Gran seems to want to work for you, and I wonder if there's somewhere you can relax...?'

　Ah, changing diapers.
　In our family's industry parlance, changing a diaper is called a grandmother's job.

'Guide me, please.'
''Wha-wow, sir...?

　The guide who brought us here hurriedly looked for a place to rest.

''Would you mind accompanying her, Aranzir-san? I'll take care of things with the board members in the meantime.
What's the rush?　Let them wait for the mushy bastards on the board of directors. If you're going to change Gran's diaper, why don't you come along with me?
I'll just get the trouble out of the way as soon as possible.

　From the beginning, I was uncomfortable about taking Gran and Marika even in front of the directors.
　However, I was not sure if I should leave them alone in the midst of the Center Guild, so it would be helpful if Arantzill-san was protecting them during that time.

I get it. I'll take care of my grandson and his wife.
Please.
"You're not going to be alone in the hands of those muslims. Go ahead and riot.
You're not gonna do that, are you?

　Once I left Marika and the others with Mr. Alanziel, I decided to head down to the Board of Directors.
　I had already heard the directions, so I didn't get lost.

　When I reached the largest door in the Center Guild building, I knocked on the door.

'Come in,'

　Permission was granted and we entered the room.
　The room was just as large as I imagined it to be on the inside, and a group of people, who looked to be of average age, were sitting in a regular line.

''Welcome, son of the brave. Welcome to the heart of the Adventurers Guild.

　The chancellor, sitting in the center, said.
　This is indeed the center of the Adventurer's Guild, minus the center of the entire human race.
　The center of the guild's board of directors?
