Another World’s Highest Guild Leader ~I’m the weakest in the guild, but I can’t quit the guild because of the heavy love of all the guild members~

“Hmph.”

Right now, I’m extremely angry, steam is coming out of my ears. I’m really frustrated.

The reason is…

“You promised, right? That Lulu would attend the guild meeting in my place.”

Today is the monthly guild meeting where representatives from each guild gather. Earlier, instead of going to the Goblin Nest, I was dragged along.

Lulu says with a cool expression.

“Did I say that?”

“You did.”

She said it. I heard it clearly.

“But this is what I said. ‘If you participate in the dungeon, I’ll attend the next guild meeting in your place.'”

“You did say that.”

“I never said I would attend in place of what you said, Crow.”

“Ah…”

She’s right. Lulu intentionally deceived me…

“Hehe. It seems I am the one in the right.”

Lulu covers her mouth with her hand and chuckles, clearly amused by my reaction.

“Aw, don’t pout like that, Crow-sama.”

“It’s not just lying, it’s thievery!”

Actually, it’s more like fraud. It’s fraud!

“Now, now, Crow-sama. Don’t sulk so much.”

“How can I not sulk when…”

Fel, who is sitting next to me, interrupts me.

“…Why is Fel here?”

It’s understandable for Lulu to be here, but why is Fel here too? She saw us off at the mansion.

“I’ll go wherever my master goes. I’m Fel, the maid.”

“What kind of catchphrase is that? Besides, Fel isn’t a maid.”

Come to think of it, Fel always accompanies us to the guild meetings… That’s why it didn’t feel strange.

“You never fail to make an entrance, huh?”

A man with a smirk on his face approaches us.

“Hey, Crow!”

“What’s up, Zaan?”

“Don’t be so disrespectful.”

He laughs and slings his arm around my shoulder.

This man is Zaan. He’s also handsome. Zaan’s guild is as strong and famous as ours.

“Hey, it’s you again, Mr. Mask.”

Another man approaches us.

If I remember correctly…

“You’re Panty-kun, right?”

“It’s Pandy!”

Well, it doesn’t really matter.

“I am more fitting to be the leader of this guild!”

He proudly declares… What was his name again? Panty-kun. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard him say that line.

“Lulu, Fel, why don’t you consider joining our guild? Other girls are welcome too. Oh, those guys aren’t.”

“No, thank you.”

“We decline.”

“Tch…”

This exchange is also part of the usual routine.

Once again, Panty-kun is left looking frustrated and defeated.

“Damn it… Oh, hey, you. Why do you wear that mask anyway?”

Panty-kun, in a frustrated manner, points at my mask, seemingly directing his anger towards me.

“It’s a matter of personal freedom.”

“Huh? Freedom? Wearing a mask like that shows a lack of taste. Or is it because you’re incredibly ugly without it?”

“…!”

Panty-kun is sharp.

And he continues to bother me.

“Hey, why don’t you try taking off that mask?”

“I decline.”

“What? You little brat!”

Despite saying the same thing as Fel, his response is completely different. It’s terrible. Panty-kun, you’re awful.

“Could you please stop?”

Fel speaks up to Panty-kun, who is attempting to forcefully remove my mask. I sensed a hint of anger in her voice.

“Oh? It’s because of this annoying guy, right? I can’t help it!”

I haven’t done anything, though.

“I see. In that case, I guess there’s no helping it… Grapnir!”

“What?!”

When Fel recites the spell, Panty-kun is suddenly restrained by chains that appear out of nowhere.

[Grapnir]

It is a rope or ankle restraint created to bind Fenrir, the giant wolf from Norse mythology. By the way, I remodeled the chains into Grapnir. Grapnir means “the devourer” in Norse.

“Ugh… Let me go!”

Bound by the chains, Panty-kun struggles and thrashes his legs in futile resistance.

As for the other guild members, they pay no attention. It’s a common occurrence for Panty-kun to get involved and be dealt with by Fel.

“Everyone, pay attention.”

A low voice echoes.

Instantly, everyone present becomes silent and turns their gaze toward that person.

Fel, too, has somehow undone Panty-kun’s chains.

“We will now begin the guild meeting.”

The bald man who appeared earlier, Zois-san, speaks up. It’s better to describe his appearance as that of a muscular Daruma doll. (ED/n: Daruma doll are those that stand again after pushing)

Although he has retired from active adventuring, he used to be a formidable adventurer. And now he is the master of the Guild House, overseeing all the guilds. A distinguished figure.

At the guild meeting, the leaders can exchange information about the state of the country and other matters. It’s like a class representative meeting in my previous life, so to speak.

Various pieces of information are being communicated steadily.

Well, I haven’t been listening at all, though.

“This is the final announcement. There have been numerous incidents in Succubus Country, Beastman Country, and Elf Country recently.”

In this world, different races live in different countries. For example, there are countries where only beastmen gather if you belong to the beastman race.

Succubus Country, huh? As a man, it’s only natural to be interested in succubi. I should listen to this part seriously.

“Especially in Succubus Country, there have been multiple cases where those who went there haven’t returned. Moreover, the proportion of men is significantly higher.”

I see, I see.

“So, here’s the thing. ——Crow. I want your guild to investigate.”

“Huh?”

It sounded like my name was called just now—

“I refuse.”

“We decline.”

Lulu and Fel immediately rejected the request.

Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to oppose someone as important as Zois-san, let alone be able to do so. Only my guild or someone peculiar would dare to.

Zois-san let out a sigh, clearly exasperated.

“Tsk, as usual, Crow… Succubi are unpredictable creatures. That’s why I want a strong guild like yours to go.”

“If that’s the case, then any other guild would do, right? Like Zaan-san’s guild, for example.”

Zaan, who was called out, had a look on his face that said, “Huh, me?”

“I understand that you don’t want to lose Crow, but isn’t that a bit too overprotective…”

Zois-san let out yet another deep sigh. It seems like I’m being left out again.

“Zois-san.”

“Hmm? What is it, Crow?”

I guess I should respond like this, right?

“We can go investigate Succubus Country, right? I’ll go.”

“Oh, I see…”

Zois-san’s voice trembled slightly.
