The "Knight of the Crescent Moon" withdrew.
This meant that there was no more work for the "Dragon''s Fires" as there should have been, and Edgar was being scolded by Medes in the guild leader''s office.
Edgar! What do you mean? You said it, didn''t you? He said he could squeeze more gold out of the "Knights of the Crescent Moon" if they were reluctant to contribute ore. How''s that working out for you? They didn''t just drop the money, they pulled off the island."
Oh, that? That''s funny. According to my information, those guys should still be on their third search. ......"
I''m not even going to try a third time at this point," he said. You''ve got a soft claw, you know that? If you had supported us normally, you might have been able to get the money for the third production and repair. It''s all over because of you. How are you going to take this responsibility? Yeah?
(d*mn. You son of a b*tc*. You want me to be the only one to take responsibility? Even though you were the one who gave the go-ahead to my idea.)
Edgar, you missed your goal last month, too. If you don''t make it this month, you know that, don''t you? You''ll get a lot more than you bargained for."
Edgar was lectured for an hour.
Medes''s angry shouts could be heard in the quartet''s workshop.
Edgar''s guy is getting squeezed a lot," Medes said. Is he going to be all right?"
Charles said with concern.
''Hmmm. That''s because you got greedy and got carried away, you idiot. You''re taking over people''s jobs.
That''s really it."
Raul and Lizetta said without hesitation.
At the "Arsenal of Spirits," which had succeeded in producing the "Dragon Sound" harp and the magic stone staff, Roland was worried about giving Wayne and Pato a new assignment to raise.
However, Wayne did not wait for that, and he caught Pato and offered him an invitation for a certain scheme.
"Lower the quality of your equipment?"
Pato frowned at the words that had just come out of Wayne''s mouth.
The current sloppy approach will never be able to beat the dragon''s fire," Wayne said. The only way to crush the "Dragon''s Fiery Fire" is to take away their customers. The only way to do that is to take away their customers. If we lower the price, there will be customers who will be attracted to us. The only way to lower the price is to lower the quality of the equipment to some extent. Even if it''s a rough production, we just have to grab the customers. Don''t worry, don''t worry. The adventurers on this island are all idiots who only think about the immediate future. They won''t notice if the quality goes down a bit.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That is against the ways of the Arsenal of Spirits.
I agree. First of all, Roland will probably object. But that''s why now is the time. Now that we''ve made our mark, I''m sure Roland won''t dismiss our proposal. If we both make a proposal together, it will definitely be accepted. Once he entrusts us with a job, it''s all ours. Once he sees the number of customers increasing, I''m sure he''ll change his mind. We''ll just increase the number of customers, keep the profits up, and only take care of the work for the guilds that come from outside that pay well. That way, cheap equipment will break easily, sales will increase, and we can use the fame of outside adventurers to show off our brand power.
Isn''t that just like the way they did it at Dragon''s Fires?
It''s okay, it''s the same thing. If you don''t do that, you won''t be able to defeat ''Dragon''s Fires. Think about it. Roland makes equipment for each and every adventurer. We can''t do it this way. We have no choice but to act. Let''s start our own rebellion. Hey...
Wayne!
Pato approached Wayne with an ever stern look on his face.
What the hell?
I understand your hatred of "Dragon''s Fires". There are many things I don''t agree with. But that doesn''t mean I agree with the idea that you should do whatever it takes to destroy the Dragon''s Fires. I am in the "Arsenal of Spirits" because I am able to provide attentive service to local adventurers. If you are so blinded by profit that you are willing to go off the beaten path. I can''t overlook it, even though you and I are on good terms. As soon as I see such behavior, I will report it to Mr. Roland and Ms. Aina. Good bye."
Hey, wait a minute, Pato. Hey, hey."
Wayne called out to Pato''s back, but Pato went on ahead as if he had nothing more to say.
(d*mn, that Pato guy, he''s still the same in this way. He''s a good guy, but he''s a stiff. But it''s hard to do without Pato''s cooperation. (......)
Leena crushed the broken armor, kneaded it and refined it.
(Alright. (Good.)
The piece of iron, which should have been a scrap piece, quickly regained its former appearance.
The iron that was taken out after refining was of the best quality ever.
Mr. Roland. I''ve finished the recycling process. Take a look.
Oh, look at that.
When Roland appraised the iron Leena had brought, he found it to be iron B.
(Iron B? That''s the best I''ve ever gotten.)
[Leena Hart''s skills
Recycle": B (up1)
You did a great job, Leena. Best job I''ve ever seen."
Yes," he said. Thank you."
This is enough to make B-class equipment. Tell Aina that we were able to make B-class iron. We can incorporate it into our future plans for manufacturing B-class equipment, so please discuss it with her.
Yes!"
Leena immediately took the "recycled" iron B under Aina''s wing.
Aina," she said. We have succeeded in ''recycling'' the iron B. Mr. Roland has asked me to incorporate it into our future production plan.
I understand. Then may I also ask you to ''recycle'' used class B equipment?"
I understand. Aina. There is equipment that cannot be destroyed efficiently without high power. May I ask for your help, Mr. Roddy?
I understand. Roddy. Finish the design in the morning, then go around supporting Leena in the afternoon.
Okay.
Aina quickly changed her plans as Leena''s skills improved.
Roland observed Leena''s work.
(Even though she has only been here for a short time, she has already become accustomed to the cooperative corporate culture of the "Arsenal of Spirits. She is a highly adaptable girl who can adjust herself to the organization''s culture without difficulty.
Leena was already walking and working in the workshop (atelier) as if it were her own home.
(She is already familiar with this workshop (atelier). I guess I can tell her about that.)
Leena. Do you have a minute?"
Yes?"
I need you to come to the guild president''s office after lunchtime so we can talk about a few things."
I understand.
Roland took Leena out to the roof of the workshop (atelier).
The place would be empty except for the two of them.
She was in the B class of the "Recycle" skill. You are doing very well.
Thank you."
Now, that said, ......
Roland said, turning his gaze away.
''Leena. You''re hiding something, aren''t you?"
What?" What is it?
I just received this from ''Dragon''s Fires''."
Roland took out a complaint.
It was about Pato and Leena, whom he had pulled out of the contract with "Dragon''s Fires" knowing that they still had some time left on their contract with the company.
Leena''s lips curled into a tight knot.
''I asked Pato about it. He really didn''t seem to know anything. But you don''t. Don''t you?"
Um, well, that ......
If you were here for breach of contract, then you, the parties, would have received a complaint."
"......"
Tell me about it. As head of the guild, I must respond as soon as possible. For your sake."
"...... yes."
Gilbert was wandering the corridors of the "Dragon''s Fireside".
（I didn''t think Eugene would go home. I''ve lost my nerve. What''s our next move?)
As he was looking for someone stupid enough to take advantage of him, he saw someone he knew well walking toward him from the other side.
It was Roland.
(Huh?)
Gilbert hastily hides behind a pillar.
He said, "Excuse me, sir. You''re in trouble. You can''t enter the facility without permission. Hey, hey!
Roland ignores the receptionist who tries to stop him, and marches swiftly into the back of the room.
Gilbert, who had passed Roland by, followed him closely so that he would not be spotted.
（What in the world is Roland doing here? Don''t tell me you''ve smelled me working here?)
I''ll be d*mned, that old man. He lectured me for an hour.
Edgar jerked his neck and complained, relaxing his stiffness.
Ha-ha-ha. That was a disaster.
Charles said with a laugh.
It''s not a disaster," Charles said with a laugh. You should feel the same way.
The guild leader said, "It''s a long story, you know. What''s that? That man is ......."
Charles looked across the street and rolled his eyes.
An?"
The head of the guild of the Arsenal of Spirits.
Edgar looked and sure enough, it was Roland.
They both watched Roland pass by with indescribable expressions on their faces.
Roland took one look at Edgar and appraised him.
[Edgar Logue''s status.
Arm strength (power): 80-100
Endurance (toughness): 90-100
Agility: 80-90
Physical strength (stamina): 100-120
(All of the basic statuses are above 80. However, he lacks the ability to think deeply. He is a typical brain-muscle type. (He could have been a good partner if he had been combined well with Pato, who has a high ability to think.)
Roland recalls his exchange with Leena.
She said.
''Pato is going through a critical time right now. I wanted him to concentrate as much as possible. I''m sure Pato will say he''s going to leave here if he finds out that he''s going to cause trouble for Mr. Roland. ......"
Leena said.
''Mr. Roland, I am so sorry.
Eventually, Loran arrives in front of the guild president''s office where Medes is.
Just then, Medes was leaving the room.
Medes looks at Lorán and is taken aback.
''You''re ...... Loran! What are you doing here?
I only came because I was called.
Roland took out a complaint and thrust it at Medes.
Medes said, "You are the one who sent us this complaint about Pato and Leena''s breach of contract, aren''t you?"
Edgar, watching from the shadows, panicked.
(Hey ......, don''t tell me you''re going to bring Pato and Leena back to our house? Don''t do it. I''ve just kicked them out and the responsibility for the "Arsenal of Spirits" measures is about to be undone. Don''t bring it up again!)
The exchange between Roland and Medes continues.
Roland and Medes continue to exchange words: "I see. So what are you doing here? Hm? Have you come to our house again to make a deal with us? Then I''m sorry, but I''m going to have to ask you to leave. We don''t have time for your transparent scam.
I have no intention of doing business with you either!"
Roland said in a stern tone.
''I have been observing in my own way ever since I came to this island, you refused to cooperate with me, and I opened the alchemy guild. I''ve been observing the business conditions of the "Dragon''s Fires," the adventurers on the island, and how the outside adventurers ended up here. As a result, I have a good understanding of the situation. The disaster of "Grand Fafnir" was caused by the "Dragon''s Fires" and your sloppy management! As a ''Golden Eagle'' executive, I cannot encourage the guild to do business with you!"
Medes looked stunned.
''What the hell are you,'' he said. Did you come all the way here just to say that? We''re busy here. ......"
''Yeah. That''s why I came to talk to you so we don''t have to see each other again. Here, take this to ......."
Roland pulls out a bag of gold coins and tosses it to Medes.
He says, "...... this?"
''Pato and Leena, this is the penalty for both of you. I would like you to drop the lawsuit against them with this. They are at a critical point in their development. We can''t let your interference impede their growth.
(What? That''s why you''re here? You scared me.)
Gilbert and Edgar, who had been listening from behind a pillar, were relieved to learn that their misdeeds had not been exposed.
Roland took out a pledge and turned it over to the Medes.
It stated that the complaint would be dropped in exchange for a gold coin.
Sign this. Sign this, and I will never visit you again. You won''t have to look at me anymore.
...... would be fine."
Medes sighed and signed the letter.
Roland took the copy and left.
Medes sighed and signed the letter. What in the world is he doing at ......?"
Medes blurted it out as he looked over at Roland.
Wayne was running toward the "Dragon''s Fires.
He had heard that Roland had headed for the "Dragon''s Fires.
Son of a b*tc*!
When he arrived at the "dragon''s fire," Roland was just coming out of the "dragon''s fire.
Roland, you son of a b*tc*. ......
Wayne approached Roland with a force that threatened to grab him by the chest.
Wayne? Why are you here ......"
Nothing is f*cking going on. What the hell are you doing leaving me behind and going to hit the "Dragon''s Fireside" all by your lonesome?
I''m not trying to beat you up. I was just having an adult discussion. And this has nothing to do with you.
Oh? How long are you going to keep sleepwalking like that ......?"
Wayne, no.
The pato who came after Wayne grabs him from behind and stops him by the shoulder.
I''m sorry, Mr. Roland," Wayne said. It''s my fault for causing you trouble. ......"
Pato. I''ve talked to the head of the "Dragon''s Fires" guild. I''ve asked him to withdraw the complaint. From now on, you are definitely an employee of the "Arsenal of Spirits. You''re not going to tell me you''re quitting, are you?"
...... Yes. I will work for you with all my heart and soul. I will follow you no matter what.
