Pull out the quartet?"

　Aina repeated exactly what Roland had said.

I see. If we can pull out the quartet, we will be able to increase our strength and also give a blow to the "Dragon's Fires". It's a win-win situation, isn't it?

No matter how much we have been able to outperform the quartet in the dungeon, there is still a power gap in terms of financial strength, size of facilities, and number of members," Pato said. If we plan to pull them out, they may try to pull us out too. Rather than trying to get our hands on the "Dragon's Fires," wouldn't it be better to continue to support adventurers as before and maintain our advantage in the dungeon?

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

Of course, I don't expect to be able to pull it off right now," he said. In order to make it happen, we have to accumulate funds and increase our external influence, as well as solidify our internal organization here. However, if we continue to maintain our dominance in the dungeon, the "Dragon's Fires" will cause an internal split and fall apart. At that time, the chance to pull out the quartet will surely present itself."

'But I think there is a good chance. As Roland said, it is not that they are loyal to the "Dragon's Fires," but that they are attracted by the fact that they are the world's leading alchemy guild, and that they are treated the best on the island. If we could offer them better treatment than that of "Dragon's Fiery Fire," it would be possible to make them change their minds. However, I still think it is a dangerous gamble. If we initiate such a thing, there is a possibility that they will try to extract us with their money. ......

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

Yes," he said. The outside adventurers who come ashore from the harbor are the best customers for the "Dragon's Fires. If we can steal their customers, we will be able to inflict a major blow on the Dragon's Fiery Fire.

Wayne, calm down. This is just one of those ideals that I would like to achieve if I could. At this stage, we don't have enough money, land, or anything else. We are still in the planning stage. We may have to drop it.

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

Mr. Roland, I think it is still premature to move the workshop (atelier), even if you are going to pull the quartet out. If we are going to accept orders from outside adventurers, we will have to handle an enormous amount of work. I think it is not too late for us to establish a strong bond with the local guild.

(If Leena's "Recycle" becomes A class, she can probably recycle A class ores as well.

Roland?"

I'm sorry. I'm not too far off from starting an alliance on the "Arsenal of Spirits" side.

Really?　Well then, ......"

However!　Up to 50 people. Any more than that and we will not be able to provide the equipment, and it could seriously degrade the strength of the force."

Hmmm...50 people.

That would mean turning down more than half of them.

Well, I'm afraid we have no choice.

　They were crowding Aina, who had come out to respond.

Aina was standing in front of the doorway, "Hey, what's going on here?

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

Shut up. Get Roland out of here!

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

You're not much to talk to, you know."

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

　One of the adventurers pushes Aina's shoulder with a thump.

　Roland rushed to Aina's defense.

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

Hey, what are you doing? What's going on?

Surround them!

Aina, who are these people?

I came here suddenly. They wanted me to join the 'Arsenal of Spirits' alliance."

In an alliance?"

(This time, I'm sure they haven't released any information about the launch of the alliance yet. Did someone leak it?)

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

Hey, let us join the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.

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

You're going to launch it again, aren't you?　Don't favor only your own people."

We want our share of your quests.

That's what they told me. ......

Hey, what the hell are you doing? You guys."

Wayne?"

　When Roland sounded confused, Wayne stood in front of the adventurers and defended Roland.

What kind of wisdom do you have to have to surround yourselves with the head of our guild, you people?

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

Oh, Wayne. You tell him, too.

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

We've got a lot of work to do.

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

"Assigning work?　Hey, you guys. We're not the kind of guild that makes contracts easily.

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

"If you want to sign a contract with us, you'll have to join a partnership first!　Then we'll talk.

Partnership?

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

What's that?

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

It's a system whereby you get priority access to the advice of an S-class appraiser in exchange for signing a lease contract with us. Now, if you want to join, get in line and write your name and guild on the application form.

　Roland could only watch, bewildered by the sudden series of events and Wayne's attitude.

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

　Wayne gloated that his plan had worked.
