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 64: Let's Have Fun Together (Alma)

“Crow-kun, hurry, hurry!”

“Whoa, Alma, calm down.”

My next companion is Alma, the sharp-witted and lively member of the Demonic Triumphal Nightmare and a skilled spear user. While she ranks seventh in the guild, her offensive abilities could easily place her in the top three. Her direct approach in combat is her strength, but strategic thinking is not her forte.

“We’re here! The jet coaster!”

“Figured as much…”

I knew it would be this. Alma is incredibly curious and fearless about trying new or unusual things.

We quickly got in, secured ourselves with the safety bar and belt, and waited for the ride to start.

“Neeheehee, it’s so nice to be here with Crow-kun, just the two of us.”

“Really?”

“Of course! I love being with everyone, but being with the person I like best.”

“Like… as in love?”

“Exactly! Crow-kun, romantically.♪”

Alma seems to like me… A bit surprising, isn’t it?

“Crow-kun is so oblivious, but that’s okay! I’ll show you all my charms from now on.♪”

Alma flashes a radiant smile.

Her positivity always lifts my spirits, but she also habitually hides her weaknesses and deals with them alone.

“Thanks for liking someone like me.”

“No problem at all. I think everyone loves you. Oh, it’s starting! I might just cling to Crow-kun if I get scared.”

“Holding onto the safety bar might be safer.”

Let’s see what kind of jet coaster this is. It’s the type where your legs dangle, and if the belt comes off, you’d be in real trouble.

The coaster climbs higher and higher and then stops at the peak.

“Wow! What a view! The people look so tiny from here! So this is what they mean when they say humans look like ants.”

I wanted to respond to Alma’s comment but needed more time.

—Right, I’m not good with jet coasters.

As the coaster starts moving, we speed along the track at a breakneck pace.

Oh no, this is scary…

“Aaaaahhhhhh!!”

A young boy’s scream echoes as we descend.

“Ugh… I feel sick.”

“Crow-kun, are you okay? Here, have some drink.”

“Thanks…”

The jet coaster was intense. The seats spun in every direction, making it impossible to predict where we were going. The world just kept spinning…

Suddenly, I find myself lying down on a bench.

“What are you doing, Alma?”

“It’s a lap pillow. Lying down might help you feel better.

“You can go to other attractions without me. You want to, right?”

“I do want to, but… it’s more fun with Crow-kun.”

I had doubts, but feeling really unwell, I gratefully accepted her kindness.

“So, the guy is really inside this magic stone, huh?”

“Indeed, sir.”

In a secluded corner of the Worst de Land, Hagetee and his aide Roy conversed quietly, making sure not to be noticed by the staff. The other guards and the woman were notably absent.

Hagetee eyed the stone given to him by Roy with suspicion.

“Break it, and he will appear.”

“Hmm.”

Following Roy’s instruction, Hagetee threw the magic stone onto the ground. Instantly, it was enveloped in light, and something emerged.

“Haahh… it’s been a while since I’ve been outside. I love this peaceful air.”

“Damn, he appeared…”

——A Demon

A humanoid monster with sheep-like curled horns on its head, black bat-like wings, and a tail.

In some regions, people were subjugated by demons forced to succumb to their brutalities. In others, barely holding back invasions, they had no means to reclaim their conquered lands.

The demon studied Hagetee intently.

“Huh? Did you summon me? A human calling upon me… Well, fine. I’m in a great mood today, hehe.”

The demon’s vulgar laughter filled the air.

An average human stood no chance against its immense power. If it chose to act on a whim, the guests at Orfen Resort could have been massacred overnight.

Why Roy possessed a magic stone with a demon sealed inside was a mystery.

The demon agreed to be sealed in the stone in exchange for something —

“Hehehe. That woman was quite a treat. Her body, her moans, and everything else… Shame she’s unusable now. Tch, can’t humans last more than 30 rounds?”

Demons are known for their propensity for violating women. Indeed, before being brought here, it took a beautiful sacrificial woman to its lair and ravaged her.

“If one breaks, there are always replacements. Yes! Devour all the women at this resort! But you must also listen to my request. Kill the man with the mask. Do it, and you’ll get even more women!”

“Free rein over the women here…”

“Yes! So kill him!”

Hagetee was overjoyed.

Finally, a way to deal with the detestable brat who had been a thorn in his side.

However, getting caught involving a Count’s house in such a scheme would be disastrous. His title would be stripped. He needed the demon’s power to cover this up. Blame it all on the demon.

Planning to leave the demon to its task and enjoy the show, Hagetee turned to leave…

“Hehehe… —I refuse.”

His feet froze at those words.

“Refuse? I’ve paid you. Do it! It’s just a side job to your pleasure.”

“I’m not interested in men. So, no. Ask your aide instead.”

The demon pointed at Roy.

Chilled, Hagetee realized something.

Why did the brutal demon so easily agree to be sealed? Roy handled the negotiation.

Terrified, he understood.

He had to escape… or be killed by these demons.

Trying to flee in the opposite direction, Hagetee felt the ground tremble under a sudden impact.

The demon’s massive form landed before him in a moment, blocking his path.

“Hehehe, you can’t escape from me, you filthy pig.”

A dull thud echoed.

By the time he realized his arm was broken…

“Ah, ahhhhhhh!”

“Shut up, pig. Hey, brother. Reveal your true form. It’s disgusting to look at you like this.”

“Alright, alright. You always hated human men.”

Roy grinned, and then his form twisted and warped, revealing horns, black wings, and a tail — another demon.

“Damn! So Roy was a demon all along!”

“Too late to realize now. I hate humans and the wealthy… Now, let’s go for the kill.”
