　Roland was working just inside the entrance of the workshop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The room had only a small, low-backed desk and a crude chair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wooden boxes and alchemist's tools were stacked or lying in a messy pile beside it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was the parlor and workshop of the workshop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a small building, after all, and there was not enough space to give a single room multiple functions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the moment, on a low desk in front of him, there are 10 pieces of "earthcraft" that Aryeh had just refined.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They consist of.

Two Earth Craft A

6 Earth Craft B

1 Earth Craft C

Earth Craft D 1 pc.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The result was

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Excellent. This would be enough to satisfy Lillianne's request.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne's request was for 100 "Earth Crafts" to be delivered within one month.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She wanted no more than 20% of them to be inferior to D or below.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this rate, the request was likely to be accomplished.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland packed the "Earthcraft" with blue glitter into a shipping box.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After this, he would have to transport the boxes to the "Guardian of the Magic Tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland was doing all these chores because he wanted Aryeh to concentrate on the refining work as much as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How are you doing?　Mr. Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lillianne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Roland was packing the products into boxes, Lillianne came into the workshop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lillianne came into the workshop. I'll serve you some tea now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland paused in his boxing and was about to invite her in, but Lillianne restrained him with her hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, that's fine. You're working on it, right?　Please finish."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. I'll finish right away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland hurriedly packed the boxes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilianne watched him work from a distance so as not to disturb him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Roland had finished, Aryeh came from the oven room with a tray of "Earthcraft" in her hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, guild leader," he said. We have just finished refining the "Earthcraft. You can have a look at ......, eh?　Lillianne?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aryeh. Just in time. Lillianne, the investor, has just arrived. I'd like to show her your refined version of Earthcraft."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh turned to Lilianne and beamed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilianne looks at her with a friendly smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was dressed like a craftsman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh's brown hair was in a single braid that hung over her right shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On her hands she wore gloves for kettle work, and on her face she wore glasses that dampened the light from the flames.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of these had been bought for her by Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no pretense in his appearance, and unlike during the interview, he looked natural.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, hello. It's you, isn't it? Roland told me you were a refiner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is the one who made the "Earthcraft. Now, Aryeh. Now, Aryeh, show the finished 'Earthcraft' to Ms. Lillianne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a wonderful piece of Earthcraft.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne took the finished "Earth Craft" and looked at it intently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The percentage of "Earthcraft A" was even higher than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All of it was refined by her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, you did this all by yourself?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne gave Aryeh a heated look.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh, who was not used to this kind of treatment, was simply horrified.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I was just following the guild leader's instructions. It was no big deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was bewildered, happy, and embarrassed, as if she were a celebrity or something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Earthcraft is a special item that refines any weapon or armor. A quality earthcraft is essential for quick weapon maintenance. If you supply them to the "Guardians of the Magical Tree," the successor capabilities of parties belonging to the "Guardians of the Magical Tree" will be greatly enhanced. I look forward to your continued support."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lilianne continues to look expectantly at Aryeh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh was too honored to reply, but only nodded slightly, her face reddening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland activates his skill "Appraisal" and looks at the skills floating around her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh's "Ore Refining," which had been an E, was now an A.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland picked Lilianne up at the entrance of the workshop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Thank you, Lillianne, for coming all the way out here today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, no. That being said, Mr. Aryeh, was that the right thing to do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I am. It is a confidence booster for Aryeh to be recognized by someone like you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure this is a small price to pay. I was just telling the truth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne brings her face close to Roland's as she says this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You raised her," Lillianne said. Didn't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland was so close to her beautiful face that they were almost touching, and it was a doozy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her eyes gazed at Roland feverishly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland smiled deceptively.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne laughed along with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll leave you now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. I look forward to working with you again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My pleasure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Jill returned, the guild's new members and junior members all lined up to greet her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, it's Jill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hurry up. Get out of the way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those in the guild who saw Jill hurriedly gave way to her and dodged to either side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the guild "Golden Hawk," hierarchy was absolute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill, who had won first place in last month's adventurer rankings for monster kills, became a senior member of the guild's Golden Eagle and one of Lukius's closest associates, despite being a newcomer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is now a well-known figure among adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She walks from the entrance of the building down a wide, palatial hallway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On either side of her were rows of lower-ranking members with their hands on their chests and their heads slightly bowed, in a pose of loyalty to the guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Newcomers and underachievers must do this to the senior members.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She walks leisurely through them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Suddenly Jill looked at those in line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of them had joined the guild at the same time as Jill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill's selection as a senior member was an unusual step.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Given this, Jill must have mixed feelings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill walking down the flowery aisle, and the members at the end of the line, who are being sidelined.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The difference between the two is only a little bit of luck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thinking about it, Jill couldn't help but wonder if she really deserved to be in the limelight so much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I'm standing here like this because of nothing else. It's thanks to Mr. Roland.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill recalls her days with Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the time, she was a sluggish newcomer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Branded as having no potential, she was assigned to work under Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Roland changed her fate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland converted her from a light-armed archer to a heavy-armed knight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gilles. You have the qualities to become a heavy-armed knight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland said this to her shortly after they became acquainted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no. I don't have the strength to walk around in a dungeon wearing heavy armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, her stamina was E at the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She said, "Don't worry. You'll have A stamina in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She followed her instructor, Roland, even though she was skeptical.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The training Roland put her through was intense, but it still improved her stamina dramatically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that's not all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He also arranged for the guild to purchase top-of-the-line armor for her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her defense was dramatically improved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roland," she said. Thank you very much. Now I can contribute to the guild as a shield and defender.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No," he said. No, Jill. Your role is not as a shield. You are an attacker.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She could not believe her ears at Roland's words, but he gave her a great sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the contrary, he pushed and screwed her into a golem-killing squad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She grew rapidly in battle, destroying three brick golems.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Defeating three golems in a single dungeon infiltration was an unusual record not only for a rookie, but also for an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most adventurers either run out of energy on the way or take too much damage and run out of potions along the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, she had inexhaustible stamina to run around the dungeon all day long while carrying her armor, defensive strength that would not be affected by being hit with a hammer, and offensive power that could reap even the hardest and most gigantic enemies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(All of it. Thanks to Mr. Roland. If he hadn't made me change course, I would have ended up as a mediocre archer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She recalls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She remembers how he would praise her for the slightest growth and blast her if she got a little too proud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(He really had the perfect timing for praise and timing for anger.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even when she blossomed as a heavily armed knight, Roland was not satisfied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He gave her a goal of defeating five golems a day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That goal has yet to be met.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the process, he was reassigned by Lucius to the guild's main unit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From then on, she was in great demand and continued to work for the guild without a break.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even after becoming a mainstay, she continued to demonstrate her strength without regret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was an excellent shield and attacker, and was able to take on any quest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With her gorgeous appearance, she was also useful as a billboard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not only did she continue to fight on the front lines, but she was also pulled into the PR arena.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, she had a busy but fulfilling day, but today she finally had a day off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She could meet Roland, whom she had been estranged from for a long time recently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I wonder what he will think when he sees how much I've grown...will he recognize me a little now that I've become a B-rank adventurer? (I wonder what he will think when he sees how much I've grown...or will he say I'm not ready yet?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In any case, I was going to get a lot of shagging today, back in the old days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Oops.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She decided to get herself groomed before meeting Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She had recently started to pay more attention to her appearance since she was often out in public as a signer for the guild, but when she met Roland, she checked her hair more carefully than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Here we go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(How are you doing?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland must still be in a corner of the guild instructing newcomers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I apologize to the newcomers, but today I'm going to ask them to put themselves first under the senior member's authority.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Maybe he'll take me out to dinner tonight as a reward for growing up. (Maybe he'll take me out to dinner tonight as a reward for growing up...) No, no, that's not too much to hope for. I'm sure he'll yell in my ear and beat me until I puke. Maybe they'll make me run around until midnight. Either way, it's a reward for me. (smh).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She hurriedly retracts the grin that had momentarily appeared on her face, caught off guard, and opens the door to the new instructor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roland?　He's gone now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The words of the newly appointed mentor made Jill look like a pigeon hit by a peashooter, not understanding for a moment what they meant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not long ago, Master Lucius banished me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no. Why ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's had a string of blunders of late. It can't be helped. What's that?　Jill?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill did not hear the instructor's words until the end and, as if leaving the room at the speed of a gale, she rushed to the guild leader's room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without knocking, she opened the door and entered the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Guild leader!　I need to talk to you!"
