The "Knight of the Crescent Moon" withdrew.

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

　This meant that there was no more work for the "Dragon's Fires" as there should have been, and Edgar was being scolded by Medes in the guild leader's office.

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

Edgar!　What do you mean?　You said it, didn't you?　He said he could squeeze more gold out of the "Knights of the Crescent Moon" if they were reluctant to contribute ore. How's that working out for you?　They didn't just drop the money, they pulled off the island."

Oh, that?　That's funny. According to my information, those guys should still be on their third search. ......"

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

I'm not even going to try a third time at this point," he said. You've got a soft claw, you know that? If you had supported us normally, you might have been able to get the money for the third production and repair. It's all over because of you. How are you going to take this responsibility?　Yeah?

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

(d*mn. You son of a b*tc*. You want me to be the only one to take responsibility? Even though you were the one who gave the go-ahead to my idea.)

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

Edgar, you missed your goal last month, too. If you don't make it this month, you know that, don't you?　You'll get a lot more than you bargained for."

　Edgar was lectured for an hour.

　Medes's angry shouts could be heard in the quartet's workshop.

Edgar's guy is getting squeezed a lot," Medes said. Is he going to be all right?"

　Charles said with concern.

'Hmmm. That's because you got greedy and got carried away, you idiot. You're taking over people's jobs.

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

That's really it."

　Raul and Lizetta said without hesitation.

At the "Arsenal of Spirits," which had succeeded in producing the "Dragon Sound" harp and the magic stone staff, Roland was worried about giving Wayne and Pato a new assignment to raise.

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

　However, Wayne did not wait for that, and he caught Pato and offered him an invitation for a certain scheme.

"Lower the quality of your equipment?"

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

　Pato frowned at the words that had just come out of Wayne's mouth.

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

The current sloppy approach will never be able to beat the dragon's fire," Wayne said. The only way to crush the "Dragon's Fiery Fire" is to take away their customers. The only way to do that is to take away their customers. If we lower the price, there will be customers who will be attracted to us. The only way to lower the price is to lower the quality of the equipment to some extent. Even if it's a rough production, we just have to grab the customers. Don't worry, don't worry. The adventurers on this island are all idiots who only think about the immediate future. They won't notice if the quality goes down a bit.

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

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That is against the ways of the Arsenal of Spirits.

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

I agree. First of all, Roland will probably object. But that's why now is the time. Now that we've made our mark, I'm sure Roland won't dismiss our proposal. If we both make a proposal together, it will definitely be accepted. Once he entrusts us with a job, it's all ours. Once he sees the number of customers increasing, I'm sure he'll change his mind. We'll just increase the number of customers, keep the profits up, and only take care of the work for the guilds that come from outside that pay well. That way, cheap equipment will break easily, sales will increase, and we can use the fame of outside adventurers to show off our brand power.

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

Isn't that just like the way they did it at Dragon's Fires?

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

It's okay, it's the same thing. If you don't do that, you won't be able to defeat 'Dragon's Fires. Think about it. Roland makes equipment for each and every adventurer. We can't do it this way. We have no choice but to act. Let's start our own rebellion. Hey...

Wayne!

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

　Pato approached Wayne with an ever stern look on his face.

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

What the hell?

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

I understand your hatred of "Dragon's Fires". There are many things I don't agree with. But that doesn't mean I agree with the idea that you should do whatever it takes to destroy the Dragon's Fires. I am in the "Arsenal of Spirits" because I am able to provide attentive service to local adventurers. If you are so blinded by profit that you are willing to go off the beaten path. I can't overlook it, even though you and I are on good terms. As soon as I see such behavior, I will report it to Mr. Roland and Ms. Aina. Good bye."

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

Hey, wait a minute, Pato. Hey, hey."

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

　Wayne called out to Pato's back, but Pato went on ahead as if he had nothing more to say.

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

(d*mn, that Pato guy, he's still the same in this way. He's a good guy, but he's a stiff. But it's hard to do without Pato's cooperation. (......)

　Leena crushed the broken armor, kneaded it and refined it.

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

(Alright. (Good.)

　The piece of iron, which should have been a scrap piece, quickly regained its former appearance.

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

　The iron that was taken out after refining was of the best quality ever.

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

Mr. Roland. I've finished the recycling process. Take a look.

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

Oh, look at that.

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

　When Roland appraised the iron Leena had brought, he found it to be iron B.

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

(Iron B? That's the best I've ever gotten.)

You did a great job, Leena. Best job I've ever seen."

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

Yes," he said. Thank you."

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

This is enough to make B-class equipment. Tell Aina that we were able to make B-class iron. We can incorporate it into our future plans for manufacturing B-class equipment, so please discuss it with her.

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

　Leena immediately took the "recycled" iron B under Aina's wing.

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

Aina," she said. We have succeeded in 'recycling' the iron B. Mr. Roland has asked me to incorporate it into our future production plan.

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

I understand. Then may I also ask you to 'recycle' used class B equipment?"

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

I understand. Aina. There is equipment that cannot be destroyed efficiently without high power. May I ask for your help, Mr. Roddy?

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

I understand. Roddy. Finish the design in the morning, then go around supporting Leena in the afternoon.

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

Okay.

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

　Aina quickly changed her plans as Leena's skills improved.

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

　Roland observed Leena's work.

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

(Even though she has only been here for a short time, she has already become accustomed to the cooperative corporate culture of the "Arsenal of Spirits. She is a highly adaptable girl who can adjust herself to the organization's culture without difficulty.

　Leena was already walking and working in the workshop (atelier) as if it were her own home.

Leena. Do you have a minute?"

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

I need you to come to the guild president's office after lunchtime so we can talk about a few things."

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

I understand.

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

　Roland took Leena out to the roof of the workshop (atelier).

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

　The place would be empty except for the two of them.

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

She was in the B class of the "Recycle" skill. You are doing very well.

Thank you."

Now, that said, ......

'Leena. You're hiding something, aren't you?"

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

What?"　What is it?

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

I just received this from 'Dragon's Fires'."

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

　Roland took out a complaint.

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

　It was about Pato and Leena, whom he had pulled out of the contract with "Dragon's Fires" knowing that they still had some time left on their contract with the company.

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

　Leena's lips curled into a tight knot.

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

'I asked Pato about it. He really didn't seem to know anything. But you don't. Don't you?"

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

Um, well, that ......

If you were here for breach of contract, then you, the parties, would have received a complaint."

　Gilbert, who had passed Roland by, followed him closely so that he would not be spotted.

(All of the basic statuses are above 80. However, he lacks the ability to think deeply. He is a typical brain-muscle type. (He could have been a good partner if he had been combined well with Pato, who has a high ability to think.)

　She said.

　Edgar, watching from the shadows, panicked.

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

(Hey ......, don't tell me you're going to bring Pato and Leena back to our house?　Don't do it. I've just kicked them out and the responsibility for the "Arsenal of Spirits" measures is about to be undone. Don't bring it up again!)

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

　The exchange between Roland and Medes continues.

Roland and Medes continue to exchange words: "I see. So what are you doing here?　Hm?　Have you come to our house again to make a deal with us?　Then I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. We don't have time for your transparent scam.

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

I have no intention of doing business with you either!"

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

　Roland said in a stern tone.

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

'I have been observing in my own way ever since I came to this island, you refused to cooperate with me, and I opened the alchemy guild. I've been observing the business conditions of the "Dragon's Fires," the adventurers on the island, and how the outside adventurers ended up here. As a result, I have a good understanding of the situation. The disaster of "Grand Fafnir" was caused by the "Dragon's Fires" and your sloppy management!　As a 'Golden Eagle' executive, I cannot encourage the guild to do business with you!"

He says, "...... this?"

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

'Pato and Leena, this is the penalty for both of you. I would like you to drop the lawsuit against them with this. They are at a critical point in their development. We can't let your interference impede their growth.
