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~

We were hunting monsters left and right… or rather, the deeper we went, the more monster corpses we found, allowing us to quickly advance into the depths.

And then we reached a dead-end, opening up into a vast space.

“Is this the end?”

“In spaces like this where there’s nothing, something outrageous usually appears.”

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

Suddenly, the ground shook. A massive rock in front of them began to move and reveal its form. It was a Golem.

Nearly 4 meters tall, its entire body was made of hard rock, and its aura was overwhelming. It judged them as enemies.

The three of them gasped at the sheer oppressive force emanating from the colossal body.

“Can we… actually beat this thing?”

“It’s fine. It’s just a pile of rocks.”

“J-Just a pile of rocks…!”

Please don’t give me that “so cool” look. It makes me blush.

Without warning, the Golem initiated an attack. Magic energy gathered around its mouth, showing signs that it was about to unleash a beam.

And then, it fired.

“Ready!”

I slashed the incoming beam.

“What the—!?”

“Okay, everyone, let’s take it down quickly. Don’t be afraid to charge in; I’ll handle the beam.”

“Yes!”

As long as its attacks are sealed, it’s a pile of rocks. It makes a good practice opponent.

“The request is complete.”

“Good work.”

Kaito and Mel reported to Nasia-san at the reception desk, their actions being observed from the tavern adjoining the guild house. By the time they arrived back at the guildhouse, it was already evening.

“Crow-san, I’m looking forward to working with you tomorrow!”

“Yeah, same here.”

Their movements were smooth; they could handle more challenging quests. Plus, they were incredibly sincere, which made them enjoyable to mentor. He still needs to actually teach them something.

Running out of other topics, I decided to steer the conversation.

“You like Pandy-kun, don’t you, Shiha?”

“Wh-what!? I-I don’t—”

She was visibly flustered, making her response all too transparent.

“It’s our secret, so why not tell me?”

“Um, ah…”

“Understanding the relationships within the guild is part of a leader’s duties, after all.”

While relationships could get complicated, I have always enjoyed love stories. Although I was untouched by romance myself.

Nodding, Shiha composed herself and began to speak.

“As I told you, Pandy and I are childhood friends who founded the guild together. We’ve known each other for a long time.”

“I see.”

“He’s always been assertive and a bit wild, but he has a strong sense of justice. When we were kids, he saved me numerous times, and that’s when I started to like him.

“I get it.”

So basically, she liked her childhood friend, who’d been her hero for so long… Could he be any more of a romantic comedy protagonist?

“He gets a lot of attention for being strong, so he’s become like that…”

“Ah…”

So, is he more of a “stealing the girl” kind of protagonist?

If only Pandy-kun would calm down a bit; he does have the skills, after all.

“Nii-ni!”

“Hm, what? It’s Yuma.”

Recognizing the familiar voice, I saw Yuma running toward me, with Lofia and Lafia following. Where are the other members?

“Oh, whoa.”

I caught Yuma, who enthusiastically hugged me.

“What are Lofia and Lafia doing here?”
