　The four members of the quartet had difficult looks on their faces as they faced the armor placed on the workbench.

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

　This armor was ordered from a retailer.

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

It bears the emblem of the "Arsenal of the Spirits.

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

This is the armor made by Aina Burke, an A-class alchemist from the "Arsenal of the Spirits"?

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

At first glance, it looks like a nondescript piece of armor. ...... Hey, appraise it."

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

Yes, sir.

Hm. Power 70, durability 70.

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

Class B equipment.

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

'Class B with this thickness and weight?　I'd say it's a C-class at best."

　Charles questioned.

Charles questioned, "Don't start messing around. I'll tell you what I'm talking about.

　Edgar swings his hammer and strikes.

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

　But not a scratch is left on the armor.

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

　Rather, Edgar frowned involuntarily at the recoil.

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

......... ouch!"

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

　The other three look surprised.

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

Nonsense. This hammer must have a power of 70. I can't believe it can't even put a scratch on this level of armor. ......"

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

Lizetta. Try attacking with your 'Javelin of Fire'."

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

　Risetta holds the "Javelin" in her hand and readies it.

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

　The surface of the armor begins to melt with a sizzling sound.

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

　However, a thick, green liquid begins to overflow from the inside.

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

What is this?

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

Is this ...... paint?"

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

Hm. I don't know how it works, but it seems that this paint is the secret to raising the status. Perhaps a unique skill.

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

　Raul analyzes this.

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

'Class B status with Class C lightness. I've never seen equipment like this. ......"

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

I guess that's the power of an S-class appraiser to find skills like that."

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

　Raul said.

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

'And this is one that is being distributed commercially. If it's for adventurers who have a partnership with the Arsenal of Spirits, it might be even more powerful.

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

According to the "White Wolf" guys, all the adventurers in the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance were wearing blue armor.

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

In short. To destroy Aina Burke's armor, it would have to be at least the equivalent of Class A strength. "In short, to destroy Aina Burke's armor, you need at least an A-class power, or a special attack. Lisetta, this time you will take the lead in destroying the Arsenal of Spirits.

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

Hey, wait a minute, I can make A-class equipment myself."

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

　Edgar objected.

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

You saw the experiment I just did. You saw the experiment I did earlier," Edgar said. "Risetta's 'javelin' is more effective against this armor than a conventional attack. This time, give it up.

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

　Edgar looks frustrated but is unable to argue and keeps his mouth shut.

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

　As he did so, the entrance door opened and Medes entered.

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

Medes entered. Are you guys doing all right?"

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

　The four members of the quartet looked at Medes with cold eyes.

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

　They regarded Medes as a liability because he had failed to procure the "Fire Rest" in the end.

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

　The four of them had already agreed that Medes would have no part in this operation.

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

How is the "Arsenal of Spirits" going?　Are we making good progress?　Listen up. Let's show that pompous young man what we're talking about. Hmm?　What's with your eyes?　You got a problem with me?　Hey, why don't you answer me. Hey, where are you guys going?　Don't wait for me. Why are you ignoring me?　Say something, boys!"

　Seagulls crossing the ocean come down to the dock.

　Roland had come to the harbor to see Monica off.

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

　Her vacation is almost over.

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

　Therefore, I must get on a boat and return to the "Adventurer's Town" by the end of the day.

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

So long, Mr. Roland.

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

I'm not sure. Take care."

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

When will I see you again?"

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

　Monica said sadly.

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

I don't know. The work here is going to be a bit strenuous. It will be a little while before I can return to the City of Adventurers.

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

...... I know, right?"

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

Take care. You too must do well in the City of Adventurers. Don't let your arm get dull.

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

　They embraced.

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

　Meanwhile, the ship slid into the harbor.

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

　Monica had already completed the boarding formalities, so all she had to do was board the ship.

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

　Once on board, she looked up from the deck and waved to Roland.

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

　Roland continued to wave at the ship as it moved away from them.

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

　Soon the boat disappeared over the horizon.

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

......Now...

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

　There is not much time for sentimentality.

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

　Roland returned to the city to prepare for a new battle.

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

　The next day, it was officially announced at the quest reception desk that Monica had killed a Class A monster.

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

　As usual, the townspeople sought her out to be saved by an A-class adventurer from off-island, but were disappointed when it became known that she had already left town.

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

　After parting with Monica, Roland headed to a meeting with Leon.

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

　When she arrived at the bar, Leon, who was already sipping his cup of sake, waved to her.

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

I'm grateful for your help the other day on the quest to acquire the Fire Rest. I am in your debt.

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

I'm glad it went well. So, how's everyone doing since then?

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

I'm very grateful for your help. All of the guilds that joined the alliance are now well off and able to continue their work. Some of them have even improved their skills.

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

I see. That's good.

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

But, holy cow," he said. I didn't realize you had experience leading a unit.

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

Ha, ha. I'm not done yet.

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

Well, whatever it is, I can count on you. Keep up the good work.

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

That said, ......

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

　Roland quickly looked around before cutting him off.

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

I heard that the Knight of Hail came to your island.

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

Yeah, that's the first unit, too. They are all very talented men from the north. One of them, Cendric, is a class-A adventurer. On an individual level, I don't think there is anyone on the island who can compete with him. The islanders are now making overtures to form an alliance with the "knights of the hail.

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

And?　What are your plans for the Shield of Dawn?

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

Of course, the quest for the "Arsenal of Spirits" is my priority. I'm talking about you. You're thinking about what's next, aren't you?

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

Yeah, of course.

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

I knew it. So what?　What are your plans for the Arsenal of Spirits in the future?

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

We're going head-to-head with the knights of the hail.

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

"Become ......"

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

What would you do if I said 'yes'?"

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

　Roland grinned wryly.

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

'You're joking, ......? Don't say that. d*mn ......."

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

　Leon hurriedly checked to see if there were any adventurers from the Knight of Hail in the area, then sipped his drink in relief.

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

Haha. Well, I'm not kidding at all."

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

Bust. Gohogoho.

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

　Leon choked unintentionally.

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

Leon, are you okay?"

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

I'm fine. ....... That's what I want to hear. Are you insane?　You can't go head-to-head with the Knight of the Ravens.

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

Of course I am. I think I can compete with the "knight of hail" at all. If I work with you guys.

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

(This guy ......, where did he get all this confidence ......)

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

And then?　What about you?　I don't know if I'm willing to go toe-to-toe with the "Knights of the Rapture." ......

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

No, I mean, it's kind of, I don't know, too early to tell, I guess?"

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

Hm. I see. ......"

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

　Later, Roland asked the same question to "The Arrow of the Heavenly Horse," but the answer that came back was similar.

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

　And it seemed that most of the guilds that had joined the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance in the first place wanted to join the "Knights of the Hail" alliance, making it impossible to organize a large force like the last time.

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

　Although they put some trust in the equipment of the "Arsenal of Spirits," they still seemed to think that it would be more advantageous to work with adventurers coming from outside the island.

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

Only three guilds, "Guardian of Ore," "Silver Eagle Alliance," and "Wildcat," formed partnerships with the "Arsenal of Spirits.

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

　Sensing that the island's adventurers were still very dependent on the outside world, Roland decided to send a letter to Lilianne and Lange, requesting their assistance.

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

　Meanwhile, Roland himself decided to return to the "Arsenal of Spirits" for a time to sort out the information.

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

　In Roland's mind was the image of Medes, who had visited him the other day.

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

　If his visit was for the purpose of purchasing the "Flame Repelling Ore (Fire Rest)" .......

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

The "Dragon's Fires" may be more troubled by the shortage of "Fire Rest" than he thought.

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

　He wanted to know how much trouble they were in.

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

　Roland asked Pato for his opinion at the "Arsenal of Spirits.

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

　He had already ordered him to investigate the movements of "Dragon's Fires" and "Knights of the Hail.

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

Pato, tell me the results of your investigation.

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

Yes, sir. As I thought, the Dragon's Fires seems to be suffering from a considerable shortage of ore.

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

I knew it.

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

Yes, sir. It has already been a week since the "Knight of Hail" left his equipment at the "Dragon's Fireside". But they still have not received the equipment. I spoke to some of the adventurers of the "Knights of the Hail," and they were very upset that their equipment had not been returned to them after being left in their care.

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

I see."

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

　Roland grew more confident in his hypothesis after hearing the report from Pato, and decided to try to put the kama on the "dragon's fiery fire.

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

　He asked Dylan to retrieve the information using the "Fire Rest" as bait.

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

　Dylan found the ore procurement manager of the "Dragon's Fireside" in a bar at night with heavy burdens, and spoke to him, offering the following

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

There is a vendor who has a large inventory of fire-retardant ore. They are having trouble finding sellers. I'm looking for a guild that will buy it from me. ......"

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

　The person in charge easily bit the bullet.

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

What?　Really?　That's a godsend. We are just in need of "fire-repellent ore (fire rest). We'll buy it from you.

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

　As we bargained and probed about price and quantity, we were able to get a fairly accurate idea of the quantities they needed and even the quantities they had in their possession.

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

　The next day, Dylan came to the person in charge, full of expectation that he could buy the ore, and with an apologetic look on his face, he said the following.

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

I'm sorry, ......, about the 'fire-repelling ore' you were talking about. I'm sorry, but it seems that the vendor found a buyer for it before I did. There is no more left. I'm sorry, but you can forget we ever talked about it."

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

　The person in charge left with a slumped shoulder.

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

　After receiving these investigations and reports, Roland decided on the measures he should take in the future, considering the situation and the difference in strength between himself and the others.

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

I have decided not to have a direct confrontation with the 'hail knights' this time," he said.

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

　Roland said this at a meeting with the members of the "Arsenal of Spirits.

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

Oh, oh."

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

　Wayne replies delicately.

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

(Was this guy seriously going to go toe-to-toe with "The Knight of the Raisin" ......? The other party is a major outside guild, and there's no way a collection of weak guilds on the island can win.)

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

Now, just because we avoided a direct confrontation with the Knights of the Hail, it doesn't mean we can escape a confrontation with the Dragon's Fiery Fire.

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

　After a brief moment of relief, the atmosphere at the meeting became tense again.

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

The atmosphere at the meeting was once again tense. The other side will probably try to crush us in earnest. But they also have their weaknesses. Pato, Dylan. Report that.

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

Yes, sir. We have investigated the movements of the 'hail knights' who are currently requesting 'Dragon's Fires' to maintain and manufacture their equipment. ......

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

　Pato rambled on with a report similar to the one he had given Roland.

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

We have learned that ......, and from the above facts, it seems that the "Dragon's Fires" is currently suffering from a considerable shortage of "Fire Rest" ore.

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

We also found this out by probing the ore procurement manager at Dragon's Fires: ......."

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

　Dylan reported his findings as well.

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

Dylan reported his findings as well. Thank you both. You did your research well. As you can see from the above investigation, it is an undeniable fact that "Dragon's Fires" is suffering from a shortage of "Fire Rest". Therefore, the "Arsenal of Spirits" would like to take advantage of this advantage and support the "Shield of Dawn" and other guilds with which we have partnerships in order to make the next move.

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

What do the adventurers with whom you have partnerships say?"

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

　Aina asked.

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

They, too, think it is premature to confront the "knight of hail" directly. This time, they asked me to send out a quest that would not compete with the Knights of the Hail.

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

Ha, ha."

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

(Still talking about direct confrontation. ....... Mr. Roland is pretty belligerent.)

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

The quartet of the "Dragon's Fires" and the adventurers' guilds that are their offspring will be the ones to watch out for this time around. The "Dragon's Fires" are no fools. They will seriously try to crush us from now on. We need everyone to make better equipment than ever before. Especially Aina. The fact that you have been awarded the title of "A" class is known to "Dragon's Fiery Fire. By now, they must have been studying your armor in order to attack you. It is possible that the whole quartet will come to crush you.

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

The quartet went all in: ......"

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

　Aina gulped and spat.

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

　Unprecedented pressure.

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

　Even though she had made equipment that was superior to Edgar Logue's equipment in terms of status, it was still just catalog specs.

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

　This was the first time she had ever had a serious match with an opponent who was not letting his guard down.

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

Aina, you are going to make the most powerful equipment ever. Edgar Logue's "Black Bow," Lizetta Rhone's "Javelin," and Raoul Bartley's "Dragoon. I need equipment that can withstand these attacks!"
