　The alchemy guilds that participated in the fair showed off their silver crafts at their booths, and it was clear that the "Arsenal of Spirits" was the best in terms of the quality of the silver, beauty of the form, and originality.

　Lange was busy with the visitors who had gathered at his booth.

He was busy dealing with the visitors who had gathered at his booth. What you see here is just plain water. But if you put it in this silverware like this, you can see ......."

　When Lange poured water into a sample silver goblet, the clear water quickly turned a murky red.

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

　A fermented-like aroma pervades the place.

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

　The onlookers were astonished.

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

The water turned red!　What is this?　How the hell does it work?"

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

More importantly, this aroma ......, you don't think it's grape wine?"

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

This goblet is a silver work of wondrous wonders, possessed by a spirit that transforms water into wine. Please, everyone, come in. Take a taste.

　As Lange presented the goblet, the onlookers took turns dipping their mouths into the contents and passing it around.

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

What is this?　It sure tastes like grape wine."

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

And it's of the finest quality.

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

I can't believe it. Is there really a genie in the bottle?"

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

　The excitement and the mellow aroma wafted through the air, and the visitors who had been watching the other booths became curious about the "Arsenal of Spirits" booth and gathered around it.

　By the time Roland and the others arrived, the place was in a frenzy, and Lange was having a hard time.

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

'Wow, that's a huge crowd.'

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

Oh, Mr. Roland. Please help me quickly. I can't do this on my own.

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

　Lange, holding a bottle of water in his right hand and a silversmith's goblet in his left, turned his face only toward Roland and said.

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

Good. Aryeh, go get some water, and Cheal, maintain the silversmithing.

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

Yes."

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

Did you make these goblets?"

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

　One customer asked Lange.

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

Oh, no, it wasn't me.

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

Is it you then?"

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

　Roland is asked next.

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

No, it wasn't me.

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

Which brings us to ......."

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

No way. ......

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

　Roland took Cheal's hand and held it out to the onlookers.

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

'Gentlemen. Let me introduce you. I am Cheal, a silversmith from the Arsenal of the Spirits.

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

　The appearance of the young girl, still at an early age, caused even more excitement among the onlookers.

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

What a ...... girl!

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

And they're elves.

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

No wonder they're inhabited by spirits."

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

　Cheal was embarrassed by the attention, but was surprised and complimented all the same.

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

　Count Elsen watched with excitement as people gathered at the "Arsenal of Spirits" booth.

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

（This is it," he said. This is exactly what I have been looking for.)

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

　A weak alchemy guild.

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

　Unknown, but up-and-coming, with unfathomable talent.

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

　Moreover, he is an alchemist of the elf tribe.

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

　These elements satisfied his fondness for things and futurism.

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

　Lucius was stunned to see the booth of the "Arsenal of Spirits.

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

(Stupid. How could this be ......)

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

Ho." That girl. She's not quite designed yet, but she seems to make a lot of sense. I didn't know there was an alchemist like that in this town."

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

　Dorwin said, somewhat admiringly, as if he were someone else.

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

Hey, what do you mean? Why do they own Silver A?"

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

　Lukius snarls at Dorwin.

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

I don't know anything about that. Why don't you ask the Guild's tightening officer?"

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

d*mn."

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

　Despite Lucius' confusion, the "Arsenal of Spirits" booth continued to thrive, and he continued to be the sole winner.

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

　In the end, "The Goblet Dwelling Spirits," created by Cheal, was selected as the best work.

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

　An award ceremony was held.

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

　Cheal kneels before Hilda, Count Elsen's daughter, who is sitting on a chair on a temporary stage, and offers her a piece of silver work.

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

　The silver work handed to Hilda is different from the sample and more luminous.

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

　Hilda accepted the goblet and solemnly announced

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

I award you the first prize at the First Elsen Silversmiths' Fair.

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

Yes, sir. I humbly accept.

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

(Just a short time ago, I couldn't even get close to metal. Not only have I become a silversmith, but I have also received this honor. It's all thanks to Mr. Roland. Thank you very much.)

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

　A single tear rolled down Cheal's cheek.

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

　Hildi was upset.

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

What happened?　He had received a commendation. What in the world is making you so sad that you are shedding tears like that?"

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

　Cheal began to speak while wiping away tears.

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

　Although I have received recognition at the fair, the "Arsenal of Spirits," to which I belong, is a weak guild.

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

　No matter how many good products I make, I can't wholesale them to the stores, and there is no income coming in at all.

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

　At this rate, the guild would go bankrupt.

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

　If that happens, I will not be able to make any more silversmithing myself.

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

　Above all, I cannot feel sorry for the members of the guild who have supported me to get to this point.

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

　When I think of that, I cannot help but be saddened, no matter how great the prize may be.

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

Well, such are the circumstances."

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

　Hilda turned to Count Elsen at her side.

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

'Father. Did you hear?"

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

I'm not sure. I heard everything. I didn't know there were such circumstances. It is a serious situation that a talented alchemist cannot work due to such circumstances. Immediately, in the name of the Elsen family, let's protect the "Arsenal of Spirits. The "Arsenal of Spirits" is endorsed by the Elsen family. You will be allowed to use our family crest and name in any of your future activities.

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

　The audience cheered.

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

　Cheal was given a round of applause to congratulate him.

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

　Cheal turned to Lorang and stuck out his tongue.

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

　Roland laughed, half in admiration and half in dismay at Cheal's worldly wisdom.

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

(Hey, Cheal! I'm not lying, but you're not being truthful. I'm glad Count Elsen didn't notice.)

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

　As the hall was filled with applause, a single black flying object appeared in the sky.

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

　It was Lilianne, flying in the sky astride a broom.

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

It seems you made it in time for the awards ceremony.

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

Lillianne. You came?"

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

　Roland said happily.

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

'Yes, of course.

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

　Lilianne winks at him.

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

　Roland took Lilianne's hand and helped her land.

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

Lillianne ......, you mean the Class A adventurer from 'Guardian of the Magic Tree'?"

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

　Count Elsen is surprised by the unexpected intruder.

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

'Yes, she is an investor in our guild. She has been supporting our guild since its inception, even though we have no achievements to show for it.

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

Congratulations on your commendation, Mr. Chial. As an investor myself, I am proud of you.

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

How about this? "Well, what do you think, Lillianne?

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

　Count Elsen approached Lilianne and spoke to her.

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

She said, "I am going to invite Mr. Cheal and the members of the 'Arsenal of the Spirits' to dinner later on. You, as an investor, would like to join us?"

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

Oh, no?　Then I will take your word for it."

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

　Lucius looked at Lillianne and finally had a look of agreement.

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

（Lillianne?　Roland and the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" were connected?　I see. So that's what it was about. Now I have a point. I wondered how they had managed to get the Silver A, but with the financial support of the "Guardian of the Magic Tree," they had raised a refiner. And you were the one who supplied "Earthcraft" to the "Guardian of the Magical Tree"? Roland!)

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

　Lucius glares at Roland.

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

(I thought they were just a small, weak guild, but now that it's come to this, I can't let them get away with it. I'm going to use all the power of the Golden Eagle to crush them. Roland!)
