The mountain that was destroyed by the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" has eroded a part of the outskirts of the city.

　The boundary between the city and the dungeon changed, and the monster's sphere of influence expanded.

（The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" was screaming. (Did the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" fail to defeat it?)

　Carla slammed the wall with her unbroken hand.

　Somehow, Thane managed to shake off the pursuit of the "White Wolf" and fell back to the city, and headed for the "Dragon's Fires" on his feet.

　He opened the door to the guild leader's room as if to punch in.

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

Are you there, guild leader?

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

Well, well, well, Mister Thane. What on earth is the matter? What is the matter with you?

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

There's nothing wrong with you!

　Sein strode into the room and banged on the desk.

The equipment of the Thieves' Guild," he said. What the hell was that all about?　It is as if they were preparing to use the Javelin in anticipation of our use of it. What kind of a mindset would they have to have to sell out their clients' information?　Huh?　If things go wrong, you'll get off scot-free!"

Please don't yell in my ear so loudly," he said. It's too noisy."

　Medes said with a frown.

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

You'll have to explain it to me step by step," he said. What's this about the Thieves' Guild?

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

The 'White Wolf' guys were equipped with 'Silver Crushed Stone' shields," he said. So our plan is off the table. Your 'javelins' were useless. What the hell are you going to say about that?

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

Hm. The White Wolf made a shield out of silver crushed stone. Is that so?

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

　Medes asked the secretary beside him.

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

'Yes, sir. Indeed, the other day, our guild received an order from the White Wolf for 20 shields made of silver crushed stone. We already delivered them a week ago.

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

I see. It seems that we have indeed produced 20 pieces of "silver crushed stone" for "White Wolf". So what?　What the hell is wrong with that?

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

What's ...... wrong with that?"

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

　Sein's shoulders shook with a wry smile.

We have been fighting the 'Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir). For this city!　We have been fighting desperately to save this city. And yet!　We lost most of the rare metals we had. There were even some wounded. It's because of your cowardly tactics, sneaking around and stabbing us in the back. Is that how this guild operates?　This way of pretending to be a collaborator and removing the ladder?　You rotten bastard!　I'll take my chances!　Get out!　Shall I tie your neck and drag you through the city?"

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

　Medes closed his mouth.

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

What in the world is going on here?　They keep making misguided claims. We have done exactly what you asked us to do: maintain the weapons and manufacture the Javelin. If you have any complaints, please show us solid evidence that we have done something wrong.

So!　That's not what I'm talking about. ......"

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

Hey, come on. You've been talking so much nonsense, if you'd just shut up and listen."

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

　Raul, who had been standing by Medes' side earlier, arms crossed, listening, interjected.

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

What?"

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

I said it was a spoiled thing. What's the big deal just because the "White Wolf" was equipped with a "Silver Crusher" shield?　What about the "Dragoon's Baskets" that I made?　If you shoot the White Wolf with the Dragoon, he'll be all over you.

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

It's ......

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

And. You guys are talking about fighting a giant fire dragon (Gran Fafnir), but you haven't been able to kill it. Do you know what kind of condition the town is in now?　The disaster is happening because of the mountain collapse caused by Grand Fafnir.

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

The whole town is in a panic because you people have provoked the "Grand Fafnir"!　And on top of that, the "White Wolf" got you because of your weapon?　You've got to be a little more lenient than that!　First of all, it was already discussed and agreed upon that we would supply the White Wolf with weapons. Don't rehash it now."

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

That's ...... not something you'd expect to supply the 'White Wolf' with a shield of 'Silver Crushed Stone', though."

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

If you're a man, don't make goofy second-guessing excuses for something you've already said once. Either way, the reason you lost is because you couldn't master the 'dragon-headed cage'.

If you complain any more, I will terminate the contract. If you complain any more, I'll terminate the contract. "You'll have to go to another alchemy guild somewhere to maintain and manufacture weapons. Well, I don't think there are any alchemists in this town who can maintain and manufacture the 'Dragoon's Baskets' other than me.

Sei-chan. Calm down."

　Arul, who had followed Thane and finally arrived at this room just now, said.

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

It is not a good idea to make enemies of the "Dragon's Fires" now. Without their cooperation, we can't even properly maintain our weapons. Let's back off for the time being. We can just try the dungeon again after we have reorganized our forces and improved our weapons again.

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

"Nuh-uh."

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

　Sein let out a single breath as if to restrain himself, then removed the "dragon-headed cage" and threw it on the floor.

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

"Get the 'dragoon' and our equipment in order!　Within a week."

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

Don't talk in your sleep. I'll have this done in three days."

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

You said it. If you're even one second late, you'll be in deep shit!

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

　With that, Sein left the guild president's office and walked briskly down the corridor.

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

Wait a minute," he said. Wait, Sei-chan. Hey, Sein. Sei-chan, you're so ......."

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

　Arul stopped when he saw someone coming from the other side.

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

It was Jamil and Rodo from "White Wolf.

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

Oh?　Look who it is, the captain of the Guardians of the Academy.

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

I was so happy to see him. I had no idea we were using the same alchemy guild."

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

You.

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

　Sein grabs Jamil by the chest.

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

How dare you show your face? How dare you show your face in front of me? What?

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

Hey, hey, hey. Private fights are not allowed in town.

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

Yes, yes, yes. If you want to do it, do it in the dungeon.

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

　Jamil shakes off Sein's hand.

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

We're always up for a challenge."

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

Well, if I ever get to dive in a dungeon again, I'm talking about ......."

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

Bye. We have a business meeting with the guild leader about some rare metal we got. We got it from some stupid guild, you know."

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

What?

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

Sei-chan."

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

　Arle tugged on Thane's sleeve.

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

Let's go."

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

　Jamil and Rodo head for the guild president's office, despite Sein and Arul.

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

　Sein clenches his fists and looks away from them.

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

(d*mn. They think they've won now?　Watch me. I ain't gonna let this end like this.)

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

While the "Guardians of the Magickal Academy" were falling back to the city, the "Shield of Dawn" and the "Arrow of Heavenly Horses" were also returning to the "Arsenal of Spirits".

'Hans-san, welcome back.

'Hi, Aina.

'How was it?　How is the "Ryusenkyu"?

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

Yeah, it was a great performance. I was able to slay two Fafnir dragons.

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

Two Fafnir?　That's great!"

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

Isn't he a big shot?"

　Roddy said.

I really can't thank you all enough."

　Claire said.

I haven't had a big catch like this in a long time. We're launching tonight.

　Alice said.

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

We at 'Arrow of Heavenly Horses' will continue to be deeply involved with the 'Arsenal of Spirits. We will leave all the materials and rare metals of the "Fafnir" that we have acquired this time to the "Spirit Arsenal". Please maintain the "Ryusenkyu" in preparation for the next defeat.

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

Yes, sir. I'll make sure everything is in order.

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

I'd like to know where Roland is.　I'd like to thank him as well.

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

Ah, Mr. Roland is meeting with the Shield of Dawn at the ...... cafeteria.

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

　Aina said awkwardly.

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

'I see. With them ......."

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

The members of "Shield of Dawn" had a somber look on their faces, in contrast to Hans and his colleagues.

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

　They were all depressed and their faces were dark.

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

　Roland had just heard all of their stories.

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

I see," he said. The Grand Alliance has collapsed so tragically. ......

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

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it. We followed them to the end and fought hard. ......

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

The expedition brought in no income. Jeff is injured. We can't do this anymore."

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

Roland. You were right. We should never have joined the Grand Alliance. If only we had listened to you. ......

　Leon said apologetically.

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

What's done is done," he said. Let's get our heads back on straight and think about the future."

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

Yeah, right."

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

　Although they said so, the mood of Elio and the others remained gloomy.

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

(This is going to take some time to recover ......)

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

　Aina, Roddy, Hans and the others watched from the shadows.

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

"Hmmm. He seems to be dragging quite a bit.

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

　Hans said.

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

'Yes,' Hans said. That's right.

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

　Aina chimed in.

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

Aina was the only one who could say no. "At this rate, I don't think we'll be able to celebrate here anytime soon.

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

Ha, I guess the feast will have to wait.

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

　Alice said disappointedly.

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

'That was close. If we had joined the Grand Alliance by now, we might have ended up like that."

'I guess Hans is right about some things sometimes.

Alice, a word is superfluous."

They are serious, though. Will they be all right, the 'Guardians of the Magisterium'?"

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

　Roddy said.

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

'What?'

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

I had announced that we were going to defeat the 'Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)' with great fanfare. The guilds that followed them had almost no income. In fact, they caused damage to the city. Right now, the town is swirling with resentment toward them.

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

"Hmm."

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

　Hans puts his finger to his mouth and ponders.
