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~ - Chap 30:【Pandy's side】 I'm the Leader. Follow My Instructions

“This is the base of the Demonic Triumphal Return, huh…”

Striding in without any hesitation is Pandy, who had been pestering and visiting the mansion where Crow and the others reside.

“So this is that guy’s seat, huh?”

A black leather chair. Crow’s favorite spot and where he’s usually seated in the mansion.

“…It irritates me.”

Pandy was about to sit down, but…

Glares.

He feels extraordinary pressure from behind.

No, something close to murderous intent. An intent that says don’t sit there.

“…Tch.”

Thinking it’s hazardous, Pandy gives up on sitting in the chair and instead sits on a sofa, crossing his legs.

“Fel, bring me the thing that masked guy always drinks.”

“…”

“Fel.”

“…Yes.”

Urged by Lulu, Fel reluctantly goes to prepare it.

“Hey, you two runts over there. Fan me, it’s hot.”

“Wha…”

“…”

The instructed Yuma and Ali are bewildered.

Since coming to the mansion, Pandy has been acting too freely, as if he’s become a king.

The other three direct cold gazes at Pandy’s behavior.

“Hurry up, don’t spoil the leader’s mood.”

Fel returns and silently places the coffee.

“Huh? What’s this black stuff? Well, since the guy drinks it, it must be something trivial.”

Pandy grumbles and takes a sip, only to spit it out immediately.

“Bleh! So bitter…! That guy actually drinks this crappy, disgusting stuff…”

What Pandy drank was coffee. He usually doesn’t consume such things, so he’s taken aback by the indescribable acidity and bitterness.

Lulu’s elegant brows furrow.

“Thank you, Fel.”

Every day, Fel brews it, and Crow-sama always thanks him, drinking it all without leaving any behind.

(…Ah, I want to see Crow-sama right now. I’d like to dispose of this man quickly and be praised with a gentle voice.)

“Ah, it’s getting even hotter. Are you runts even fanning me properly?”

Pandy banged on the table roughly.

“Eek…!”

Yuma lets out a small scream.

“Uh, Yuma, let’s go over there.”

“Ugh, Nii-ni wouldn’t yell at us like this… sob.”

Ali, with teary eyes, takes Yuma out of the room.

“Hah, getting scared over something like this… This is why I hate kids.”

“Please stop being violent.”

“What?”

Unable to bear it, Lulu interjects.

The two glare at each other, but Pandy, deciding it’s fine, licks his lips.

“I’m the Leader of this guild. Obey my orders.”

Everyone stares contemptuously at him, stimulating Pandy’s sense of superiority.

Having such unparalleled, beautiful girls under his command feels so good. He wants them to be his… and quickly.

“Here’s the tea.”

“You’re slow. Lulu, tell me what we’re doing today.”

“…Today’s plan is—”

Pandy only half-listens to Lulu’s words, thinking about what he will do over the next three days.

(I’ve been frustrated all this time. I’ll do what I want these three days. 

Kukuku, By the time he comes back, both their hearts and bodies will be mine…)

He drinks the lukewarm tea with a lewd grin.

**********************

“Stop messing around! What have you done to me?!”

Pandy screams, his whole body paralyzed and unable to move.

When he woke up, he was in a cave with stone-paved floors.

And in front of him were the Demon’s Triumphant Return members. Some were missing.

“It’s just a little medicine in the tea.”

“Uh, the medicine Ali made is amazing.”

“Don’t mess with me!”

“You’re noisy even when you wake up. Maybe…”

Alma moves her spear.

Pandy stammers, looking scared.

Tch, where the hell am I anyway?…

“Ugh!”

Just as his sleepy feeling was returning, a sharp smell hit his nose.

His vision begins to adjust.

In the dim space were bodies torn apart, bones exposed here and there…

Pandy realizes and trembles.

“Hey, is this place…?”

“Yes, you’re a little smart. As you guessed, this is the ‘Abandoned Swamp Maze’.”

“Gah…”

He understood in his head, but mentioning the name made the cold sweat unstoppable.

The Abandoned Swamp Maze: A dangerous area known for something more terrifying than monsters, an aberration.

If powerless humans are left here, they become food for the aberration or die alone.

There’s no evidence left.

And above all, the entrance to the Abandoned Swamp Maze disappears once you enter. It seems that the only way out is to reach the teleportation spot called the goal.

“○%×$☆♭#▲!※!!!!”

“Eek!”

Suddenly, an inhuman, bellowing cry echoes.

What’s that disgusting voice… What’s here…?

Parts of his body hurt, even though nothing’s been done to him yet. Panic gives way to focus on what’s going to happen next.

He has complete equipment, even a greatsword. However, it is too weak in [the maze of abandoned swamps].

Lulu maliciously smiled and said,

“Shall we begin?”
