The snow has completely melted, and adventurers who have been resting during the winter in guillem have begun to move... inside the guild, Marina talks to the workers as staff and adventurers watch.

"Worker, you are the guildmaster of this guild from today. I've taught you a lot about taking over this winter, but you're good enough to be a guildmaster here."
"...I'm not very talented, but I'll do my best."

　To Marina's words, workers reply with a mysterious expression.
　Some guild officials and adventurers who watch such interactions wonder if they are really OK with being a worker.
　That's natural, isn' Until now, Marina had moved this guild as a guildmaster, and it was going well.
　If the top changes there, I wonder if it will work as well as before... that's what I'm worried about.
　Guild staff worked with workers during the winter, but the reason why they are still a little uneasy is probably because Marina had such a strong presence as a guildmaster.
　Workers have also run guild offices near dungeons.
　Still, it was inevitable that some people felt uneasy compared to Marina.
　I'm sure the workers know that's what they know.
　She has worked with Marina over the winter, and that shows that she is adored by guild staff.
　Some may adore them as attractive women, but more so than that, they trust them as their bossesp.
　It's not something you'll learn overnight, and Marina has gained such trust from everyone because she's been a guildmaster for many years.
　Knowing that, workers cannot immediately trust themselves.

"You have worked for Marina, the former guildmaster. I understand that such people think I can't be trusted right away. But don't worry."

　I wonder what those who were listening to the words would say.
　He was a worker who looked at him like that, but he continued to speak without looking particularly upset.

"As you all know, Marina has handed over her guildmaster to me. But that doesn't mean Marina has nothing to do with the guild. As long as I'm in the position of adviser, I can rely on Marina if something happens."

　Marina remains the adviser.
　That's what we've been informed of for a long time, but it's probably still a relief to be told in front of us like this way.
　As you can see, the faces of the people listening to the workers relax.

"But I can't always rely on Marina, the adviser. I... and we were entrusted by Marina with the management of this guild. As long as that is the case, please don't forget that one day you will have to stand on your own feet."

　Everybody nods to the words.
　Marina breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the conversation in front of her.
　Marina, who has taken over, knows very well that workers are competent.
　But whether or not others will accept it is still a different story.
　Fortunately, however, workers were now accepted in front of Marina.
　Of course, it may be because of the existence of marina in times of need, but there is no doubt that workers have been accepted here.

(All that's left is for workers to do their best and show their abilities and presence to others.)

　Marina watched the conversation a little further away from the worker.

"Mr. Marina, thank you for your hard work as a guildmaster. From now on, as an adventurer... and as a consultant to the guild, thank you."
"Yes, I'll help you any time I don't know. So do your best, too."

　Thus the guildmaster's succession officially ends.
　However, it had already been done by this morning, so it was like a ceremony or a performance for adventurers and staff... or the people of the city who came to see it when they heard that the guildmaster would change.
　Then the worker walks into the counter and disappears... toward the stairs leading to the guildmaster's office.
　The guild was initially rather quiet, but when the workers disappeared, it reverts to the usual hustle and bustle.
　Marina glanced at the guild... and then she started walking.
　Of course, there are Ray and others who will share their lives and suffer.

"Did I keep you waiting?"

　With a satisfied smile, she calls out to the Reys.

"No, not really. but was it all right that it was so simple?"

　Ray had anticipated a much larger ceremony because of the guildmaster's change.
　But what actually took place in the guild was a much smaller ceremony than Ray had expected... or rather less a ceremony.

"Oh, really? But there's no point if you don't have a heart in it, right? And it's a guildmaster change after all. It's not something to do on such a big scale."
"Well... is that so?"

　What passed Ray's mind was a scene I saw on TV while in Japan.
　When the prefectural governors and mayors quit, all the staff were seen off and given bouquets of flowers.
　I thought it was something like that, but that's not enough to make me feel embarrassed, but it was a surprise.
　But even though it's the only remote guild in the kingdom of Milliana, it still remains one of the guilds.
　Speaking from Ray's point of view, it would be more correct if the principal of the school quit or was transferred to another school.

"Yes. Anyway, I'm no longer the guildmaster. -- well, I'm in the position of adviser."
"But being a counselor is not an official position, is it?"

　asked Vihela, stroking Bune's blank head.

"Yes. It's just a private thing to be consulted by the guildmaster when something happens. Of course, the guild doesn't pay me any salary."

　In fact, you are consulted about something, and if you solve it, you will receive a certain amount of money in the name of reward or gratitude.
　But for Marina, who has been a guildmaster for a long time, it's just the same amount with or without that amount of reward.
　Well, since I'm going to work as an adventurer, I'm sure I'll get more from you.
　Ordinary... adventurers like Rank D and C wouldn't get paid more than guildmasters.
　However, Marina will have a party with three people, Ray, Vihela and Bune. There's also Seto there.
　Given Ray's behavior while Marina was a guildmaster, she was sure to make a lot of money.
　In fact, Ray has earned enough money to live a life of ordinary people in the last few years... or rather, to play in the next life and beyond.

"Anyway, now Marina can move freely, can't she?"
"Yes. Of course, as long as you're an adviser, you'd better tell the guild when you're going somewhere far away, but you don't have any plans to do that, do you?"
"Well, we don't have perfect cooperation during the battle, and if possible, we want to keep that area firmly."

　Rey's words and the others... that's how Bune nods back firmly.
　Maybe it's because I understand that if you make a bad move during a battle, it's going to be a drag on your peers.
　Since I was a little girl, I've been diving into the dungeon as a soloist, so I can't say that Bune is that good at connecting.
　In that sense, Vihela has been solo for a long time, and so has Ray.
　Marina is probably the only one who has been a party for a very long time.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want to go and fight with monsters from today, or do you want to practice at the guild training ground?"

　In response to Marina's question, Ray thinks a little... before long he opens his mouth.

"I'd like a training ground if possible, but it's crowded now, isn't it?"
"Well, it's just spring and a lot of people are trying to retrain their dull bodies during the holidays, and some of them, like us, are trying to make sure the parties work together."

　Of course, the best way to confirm cooperation is through actual warfare.However, there was a natural risk of injury if there was a real fight.
　It's not uncommon to get caught off guard and injured when dealing with goblins.
　Then, if you get injured, you'll naturally recover from it with potions and medicine... and this season you'll hit the pockets that you're never well off.
　Unless there are people who can use restorative magic, not many people can use magic in this guillem either.
　Moreover, it would be very rare to be able to use recovery magic among them.

"Anyway, we're going to the training ground."
"... Hey, Ray. Before that, you have to do something, don't you?"

　Ray tries to get out of the guild, but Vihela stops him.

"What should I do?"
"Yes. Don't you think Marina has officially quit as guildmaster, so you need to declare the formation of a party that you couldn't do before? If you don't take early steps here, you'll probably be in trouble later?"

　Vihela's words were understandable to Ray.
　It is possible to use restorative magic and the skill of the bow is a first-class product. What's more, it's her beauty.
　As a former guildmaster, he has a strong reputation.
　Such a person is working solo without a party, so if you think about it normally, one after another will invite him to the party.
　If you lived in Guildm to some extent, you wouldn't commit suicide because you know for whom Marina stepped down as guildmaster.
　But... spring is the season when the greatest number of adventurers come to Gilm.
　The kind of people who used to be called good at places where they were active... they were confident, or, worse, they should be called the great generals of mountains.
　Anyone who understands the importance of information will immediately come to Gilm and gather information.
　But he was half-talented, and yet his opponents were not so strong...If you've never had one setback, you don't know how important information is.
　If such a person learns of Marina, it's needless to think about what she's going to do.
　In order to reduce such trouble, it was only natural for Ray to submit a notification of the formation of a party here in the guild, given the current circumstances.

"Then shall we go?"

　The other three nodded to Ray's words and headed to the reception counter.
　A little while ago... maybe because Marina had not left the guildmaster yet, she had a shy smile on her face.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," Gill... No, Marina, Viehla, and Bune. What's the matter?"

　When Lenora sees Ray approaching her, she says so.
　Marina isn't the only one who seems unfamiliar with the matter. The same was true of Lenora, who had worked for it.
　And next to Lenora, Kenny had another subtle look on his face.
　Lenora and Kenny both realize they are adored by Marina.
　That's probably why I don't know what to say at times like this.

"Ah,"

　Meanwhile, Lenora suddenly screams.
　Marina's chest is the center of her gaze.
　I would have always thought of that bulge much bigger than I was, but now I'm not.
　Because there was a brooch that the receptionists, including Kenny, bought together.
　...yes. The brooch we all gave to Marina, who is leaving the guildmaster.
　The moment Lenora saw it, she was convinced that it was not the guildmaster but the adventurer Marina.
　Marina smiles at Lenora's appearance. ... Noticing that Marina smiles behind her, Ray speaks directly to Lenora.

"Please apply for the party." There are four members here. The name of the party is the wing of the Red Lotus."
