Under the leadership of the "Arsenal of Spirits," the alchemy guild began to manage the dungeon.

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

　Alchemists with shovels and pickaxes lined up and entered the dungeon one after another.

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

Lunge. Here is the skill list of each alchemist.

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

　Roland handed Ranju a revised list of skills submitted by each alchemy guild.

'Quite a quintessence.

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

　Lange looked at the list handed to him by Roland and marveled.

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

'How's the mine prep going?'

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

It's perfect.

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

　Lange unfolded a map he had prepared in advance and showed it to them.

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

There is an 'earthcraft' mine on the eighth level of the dungeon, an iron mine on the twelfth level, and a silver mine on the fourteenth level. These are the three with the largest ore deposits in the dungeon. In this dungeon management, I will mainly dig these three dungeons."

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

Good. All right."

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

　Roland looks over the map to see if there is anything suspicious, then returns it to Lange.

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

Lange, this time our goal is not to make a profit but to draw the alchemy guild members into our camp. Let them make money while we pursue profit in moderation.

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

I understand. What about the Adventurers' Guild?

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

I've made arrangements. They should be here by now. ...... Oh, you're here."

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

　Roland caught sight of his unit approaching, led by Monica.

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

　In addition to the regular troopers, three newcomers were following them, Rick, Lelio, and Marina.

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

　The three newcomers came to the entrance of the dungeon looking nervous before their first mission.

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

Ugh," they said. I'm so nervous!

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

　Marina said anxiously.

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

Me too," she said. I never thought I would suddenly join the main force of the "Guardians of the Magical Tree.

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

　Lelio said in agreement.

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

　All three of them had achieved enough to graduate from the training school, but they did not expect to be hired by a major guild like the "Guardians of the Magic Tree" with average grades.

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

　They had already been the object of the jealous and envious glances of their peers in one way or another.

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

'Hey, boys, don't waste your time talking. We're about to enter the dungeon."

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

　Rick said in a completely leader-like manner.

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

　His willingness to take the initiative in everything he did made him a leader of the three newcomers.

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

(I get to train with the main unit. This is an opportunity. If I can get the captain's approval here, I may be on my way to becoming a famous adventurer in one fell swoop.)

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

　Rick was marching along the back of the line with more enthusiasm than most people.

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

Stop!　Line up!"

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

　Monica, after getting the troops in line, rushed up under Roland.

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

'Mr. Roland. Troop muster is complete."

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

Yeah. Thank you.

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

(Oh, this is the guy who was interviewing me.)

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

　Lelio looked at Loran curiously.

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

(Looks like he's an appraiser. ......, is he going into the dungeon too?　I mean, what the hell kind of ...... is this guy?)

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

　Rick tilted his head, too.

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

(Monica, a Class A adventurer, was the first to greet him. Is this guy really that great?)

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

　While the three of us were in a daze, the other members of the team greeted Roland one by one.

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

Excuse me, sir. What in the world is that man ......?　I see you are an appraiser. ......"

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

　Rick asked the veteran troopers.

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

'Yeah, that guy. ......'

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

Hey, what are you guys doing?

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

　Euphine spoke sharply, as if to rebuke Rick and the others.

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

This is Mr. Roland, the captain of the second unit of our "Guardians of the Magic Tree".

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

""What? What?

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

　The three of them shouted in unison.

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

You're the newcomers, so you're the ones who have to say hello.

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

I beg your pardon.

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

　Rick quickly bows his head.

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

　The other two followed suit.

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

(Huh?　(But was there a stone monument in the dungeon attack named Roland?)

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

　Lelio twisted his head inwardly as he bowed his head.

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

　Members who conquer dungeons are inscribed on a stone monument in the quest reception area as inductees into the Hall of Fame.

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

　Anyone in town could view it.

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

The man said, "Ha-ha-ha. It's okay, it's okay. I should have told you first. I'm the captain. Well, at any rate, we are all here now. I'll explain. Listen up, everyone.

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

　Roland raises his voice to everyone.

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

The mission is to support and escort the alchemy guild. Everyone is asked to help the alchemists work more efficiently. Dungeon management is also a chance to maintain and improve their status during the holidays. Each of you will be given an assignment, so be sure to complete it well.

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

　The members of the unit enter the dungeon in groups.

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

　Most of them were in high spirits, but the three newcomers entered the dungeon with a sense of disappointment at having made a bad impression on the captain.

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

The newcomers took the bait right away, Mr. Roland.

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

　Shakuma said teasingly.

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

I'm going to have to give them a stern talking-to later.

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

　Yuffine said.

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

I don't know. I'm not that dignified, am I?

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

　Roland said slightly dejectedly, putting his hand over his face.

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

Ha-ha-ha."

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

　Monica chuckled.

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

'Don't worry about it,' she said. We know what you are really capable of. They will find out sooner or later.

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

　Shakuma said in a matter-of-fact tone.

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

　Even after the dungeon boss had been defeated and the monsters at the lowest level had left the area, small fry monsters would appear and interfere with the activities of the humans on a whim, and if they were careless, their possessions or lives could be taken away.

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

　For this reason, the escort of adventurers was indispensable to dungeon management.

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

　For the alchemy guilds, adventurers had to guard them from monsters, clear roads, fence in key places, and in some cases, build walls.

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

'All right. I'll give you today's assignment, then. Rick, Lelio, and Marina, step forward."

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

　The three of them step forward at Roland's call.

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

Rick is to bring 50 stones to the construction site to be used as materials for the walls. Lelio is to take 200 potions to the warehouse. Marina is to take 100 fire magic stones (which reduce magic power just by possessing them) to the warehouse. Of course, she must do this while wearing her equipment."

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

　The three were all nervous in anticipation of the tough assignment Roland had given them.

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

（The guild's training is different from that of the training center, after all. The training camps at the most had us marching with armaments,......, but marching while carrying stones for the city walls,....... (It will cut down on your status considerably).

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

Do you have any questions?　No?　Okay, then, next. Monica."

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

You are to take 100 stones for the walls to the construction site. Shakuma and Yufine are to bring 200 magic stones to the warehouse. Of course, you will keep your equipment on and intercept the enemy when monsters appear, protect the newcomers and the alchemists. You will also take command of your own squad."

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

(What, you're doing twice as much as us while also fighting and commanding?　What kind of crazy thing did this guy do?)

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

　Rick was appalled by Roland's instructions.

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

　He was also stunned by Monica and the others who followed them obediently.

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

　Loran then proceeded to give the other members of the unit assignments according to their status and goals.

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

Roland then gave the other members of the unit assignments according to their statuses and goals. All of you have been given your assignments. Then let's get to work.

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

　Roland's unit began its mission to support the alchemists.

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

Koo-hoo-hoo!"

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

　Rick somehow manages to keep up with the troops while pulling on a string tied to a stone for a castle wall.

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

　The alchemists walked onward, unconcerned with the burden the adventurers were carrying.

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

　Monica passes by Rick's side.

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

　She was carrying two stones on her back, but she was light on her feet, alert to her surroundings and keeping an eye on the troopers' activities.

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

Are you okay?"

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

Yes, sir. Somehow.

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

　Rick, however, was already halfway there and seemed to be at his limit.

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

He should take it easy."

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

No, I don't know what this is. ......

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

I'm already out of breath. This is a monster-free zone, so you should rest for now. There you go. I'll take those rocks with me.

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

　Monica takes the stones for the ramparts away from Rick.

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

I'm sorry.

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

　Rick crumpled down on the spot and decided to rest for a while until his status was restored.

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

　As Monica is advancing again, keeping Rick safe, Lelio quickly passes by next to him.

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

　Instead of being in charge of carrying lighter items like potions, he had to be fast in his hauling.

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

(We need to carry them faster. We won't make it to 200 by the end of the day.)

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

　Lelio moves ahead in no time.

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

(Fast!　Agility (agility) 50-60 is about right (......)

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

He'll eventually get to 100 in agility."

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

Oh, Mr. Roland. ......

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

　Monica turns to Roland, who has been next to her for some time.

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

He is probably going to make a name for himself as a legitimate archer."

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

......"

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

Are you okay?"

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

　Monica looked a little conflicted but smiled robustly.

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

She smiled robustly. I have my own way of fighting. Even if I can't become a legitimate archer, I won't be depressed anymore.

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

I'm not sure I'll be able to do it. Well said. That's what I wanted to hear.

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

　Roland said, satisfied.

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

Oh, there are about ten goblins approaching.

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

　Monica caught the approaching enemy in Hawkeye.

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

'I guess I'll go intercept them.

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

　With that, Monica lowered the string that was tied to the stone and went to her firing position.

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

'Whew! I can't walk anymore.

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

　At the back of the line, Marina is whining weakly.

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

You haven't even carried five magic stones yet!　We're going to have to make ten round trips after this, so get walking."

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

　Yuffine poked Marina with her cane and forced her to walk.

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

　After several round trips to the castle walls, potions, and transporting magic stones, Monica and the others had finished their assignments by the time lunchtime rolled around.

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

　Meanwhile, the three newcomers were giving up at about 60% progress.

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

Gosh, it's too hard."

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

I can't take another step.

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

......"

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

Oh, dear. Already exhausted? You haven't even accomplished 60% of your assignment yet."

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

　Roland said in dismay.

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

'You seem to have completely exhausted your energy.

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

You're so sloppy."

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

Ha-ha-ha.

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

　While Rick and the other three were running out of energy, Monica and the other three had finished their assignments and still had energy left over.

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

（d*mn these people. They're working twice as hard as we are. How much energy do they have?)

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

　Lelio rubbed his swollen leg and looked at Monica and the others with a disappointed expression.

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

　Roland appraises Rick's status.

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

　Rick.

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

　Arm strength (power): 1-50

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

　Endurance (toughness): 1-60

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

　Agility: 1-30

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

　Physical strength (stamina): 1-50

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

(The minimum value of all basic statuses is 1. Oh dear. I can't help but notice that my power, toughness, and stamina are all drained, but the fact that my agility is also depleted is proof that I'm still not good enough to use my body.

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

　Roland also used status appraisals on both Lelio and Marina.

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

　Both of them, like Rick, had all kinds of status exhaustion.

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

(Tomorrow, after they recover, we will appraise their statuses again. They'll have to learn how to use their bodies first.)

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

All right. That's all for today. Get some rest for tomorrow."

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

　Roland told each of the three to take a potion that would enhance the status they wanted to improve, and then left.

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

Monica," he said. Are you guys okay?

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

Yes, sir. Yes, I'm still fine. Oh, but could you do a status evaluation just in case?"

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

Oh, yes.

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

　When Roland appraised the status of Monica and the others, it was clear that they still had some strength left in them.

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

Roland's evaluation of Monica's and Monica's status showed that they did indeed still have some strength. I think we're going to be okay.

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

We're going to go train on our own now.

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

I see. I'm going to take the three newcomers back to the city. I'm going to take the three newcomers back to the city. You should finish up in moderation.

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

Yes, sir. Take care, Mr. Roland.

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

(Okay, now for Jill's training.)

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

　Roland returned to town and took the newcomers back to the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" dormitory, and then headed for Jill's training, which was actually the thing he was looking forward to the most today.

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

　He was meeting her at the "Arsenal of Spirits.
