　Medes officially appointed Lizetta as the leader of the "Arsenal of Spirits" countermeasures.

　Upon receiving authorization and a budget for the formation of a team of appraisers, Lizetta gathered the appraisers in the guild and held a meeting.

(It's finally here. We have a chance to redeem ourselves. If we succeed in this project, we can dream of reigning at the top of the quartet.)

　In fact, if they succeeded in training adventurers, they would have more say in the guild and would be able to take a leadership position over the other alchemists, and even over the quartet.

(I have Roland to thank for that. (I must thank Roland for giving me the opportunity to surpass even Raoul in this way.)

　Lizetta recalls.

The exchange with Roland in the "Arsenal of Spirits.

　And her own words.

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

　If you guys can make equipment that surpasses what I make, I'll be happy to transfer to your guild.

(I already lost once, ......, but that was a no-no, no-no. Because it's not fair for a connoisseur to train adventurers. This time we will play fair and square, on equal terms.)

　Fortunately, there are three A-class appraisers in the guild, and they were also dissatisfied with their poor treatment within the guild, so they were more than willing to cooperate with Lisetta's project.

　At the meeting, Lizetta confirmed that she would focus on training adventurers, and immediately approached her client, "Winged Dragon Lights," about the project.

Ike Belford, the leader of Pterodactyl Lights, responded to her proposal with a resounding "yes.

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

I never thought I would have the opportunity to take revenge on the 'Spirit Arsenal' so soon," she said. It is something I could never have hoped for. I will gladly cooperate with your plan."

　The appraisers appraised Ike and immediately found room for growth.

Spear Art: B to A

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

Hm. I found it, Lizetta. His skill 'spearmanship' has A-class potential."

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

　Thus, for the time being, it was agreed that Ike would become an A-class spearman (lancer), and the goal was to make all members of "Winged Dragon Lights" B-class adventurers.

　That night, Lilianne was in Roland's room.

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

　It had been a long time since she had been able to lay skin to skin and frolick in Roland's arms, and now she was being hugged from behind by him.

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

　She was so happy to have Roland stroking her hair and saying words of love to her.

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

'Lily. You did a great job."

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

　Lillianne was woozy and surrendered herself to him for a while.

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

　Suddenly, however, she raised her eyebrows in a wistful manner and began to cry softly.

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

What's wrong, Lily?"

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

It's nothing."

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

　However, Lillianne did not stop crying.

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

I can't believe you look so sad when we are together like this. You have to tell me. I don't understand."

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

Because soon I will have to return to the 'adventurer's town. Then we won't see each other again for a while, will we?"

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

I am happy like this now. But the happier I am, the lonelier I will be when we part.

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

　Lillianne wiped away tears.

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

I'm sorry," she said. I got sentimental. I don't blame you for being on the "Fire Dragon Island. I wish you good luck with your work.

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

Lily. I have something for you."

　Roland took a small box from a side shelf and handed it to Lillianne.

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

Open it."

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

　Lillianne opened the box to reveal a beautiful blue gemstone pendant.

Lillianne opened the box to reveal a beautiful blue gemstone pendant. Beautiful. What is this?

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

　The gemstone in the pendant appeared to be a sapphire, but its brilliance was deep and dazzling.

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

It's a special sapphire created by the breath of fire from the 'Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir). It is also known as the 'Tears of the Dragon. Even on this island, where a wide variety of ores can be found in abundance, it is said to be something that can rarely be found. I asked our alchemist to make it into a pendant. Think of it as a substitute for me while I'm gone."

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

Yes. ....... Thank you."

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

　Lillianne lovingly stroked the pendant with her finger.

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

　The pendant reflected the moonlight, giving off a subdued, pale glow.

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

　The next morning, before leaving the island, Lilianne went around to greet the alchemists of the "Arsenal of Spirits" branch who had helped her so much.

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

　She also went to greet Aina.

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

Aina, thank you for your help in defeating the Flood Dragon. Despite the suddenness of the quest, you were kind enough to help me prepare my equipment. ......"

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

No, no, no. It's our job to prepare the equipment."

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

I left a small supply of 'dragon tea' and snacks in the break room. Please enjoy them with everyone.

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

This is very kind of you. ......

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

　Aina caught sight of the pendant hanging around Lilianne's neck.

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

Oh, that pendant: .......

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

Oh. Is this it? Actually, Roland gave it to me last night. ......"

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

I didn't know that. I made that pendant.

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

Oh, I didn't know that. No wonder I thought it was a wonderful pendant. You are indeed an A-class alchemist. If it was made by the best alchemist on the island, you can be proud of it in the "Adventurer's Town.

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

No, no, no. Oh, no. When are you leaving for the City of Adventurers?

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

I will be boarding a ship this afternoon.

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

I see. But I'll miss you if that happens. I'm going to miss Roland.

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

　Lillianne is dejected.

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

I am not sure that Roland's work on the island will be finished for the time being, and I, too, will be busy with my duties once I return to the "Adventurer's Town. It is depressing to think that we won't see each other for a while. I know that the work on this island is unpredictable. ...... I fear that Mr. Roland's mind will drift away from me."

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

I'll be fine," he said. It is rare to find a woman as wonderful as Lillianne. I don't think Mr. Roland would dare to cheat on his wife without you.

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

Thank you very much. It is a great relief to hear you say so."

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

Lillianne, please wait for me in the "Adventurer's Town" with a big smile on your face. We'll keep an eye on you to make sure you don't get any bad bugs.

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

Thank you," he said. Please support Roland-san.

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

Yes. I promise.

　Aina watched Lilianne leave the workshop (atelier).

　Carla was idling in her guild's office.

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

Since joining the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance, the guild's opinion of her has changed 180 degrees.

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

　Before, she used to cause problems with her friends, but when they saw that she had become a B-class swordsman upon her return, they completely changed their attitude toward her.

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

　She is now in a position where she is asked to do various things regarding her quests.

　She is now in a position where she is asked to do various things in relation to her quests.

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

　No, she herself knows exactly what is missing.

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

　The quests of the guild she belonged to were so lacking.

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

　She is aware of this when she does her own guild's quests in detail.

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

　How advanced Roland's command was, how demanding his demands were.

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

　And Carla's fighting style had generally met Roland's requirements.

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

　Just as the way her peers looked at her had completely changed, so had the way she looked at the world.

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

　In her spare time, she remembered the days when she had fought alongside Roland and his friends.

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

　Even now, when she closes her eyes, she can picture them vividly.

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

　The tingling air surrounded by powerful monsters. The deadly troops.

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

　In such a situation, if you are late in your judgment even for a moment, you will fall behind your companions.

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

　Carla looks at the composition of the enemy and the deployment of her allies, and instantly decides how to move.

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

　Leon is flying instructions.

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

　Jeff is running in quickly.

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

　Elio is making sharp movements that don't match his big figure.

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

　Cecil is dexterously using recovery magic and flying tools in a perfect position.

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

　And Roland is watching.

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

　In such an intimidating scene, Carla, while being tormented by extreme pressure, is strangely free of fear.

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

　She follows behind the shield-bearer, looking for a chance to release a "Kageuchi" (shadow strike) and, as the occasion demands, leaps over her comrades and showers them with "Kaiten Kenbuyo" (Kaiten Sword Dance).

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

　I never thought I was capable of such an advanced fighting style.

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

　Moreover, it seemed that she still had room for growth.

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

　Roland had opened a new door for her.

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

　Compared to the vast possibilities that lay beyond that door, the familiar routine that lay before her now seemed somewhat smoky.

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

It's hard on everybody.

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

　A young man from the guild rushed into the rest area.

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

What's wrong?"

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

The Arsenal of Spirits Alliance has defeated the Flood Dragon.

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

What?　A flood dragon?

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

This is a surprise.

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

It's amazing that an outside guild could defeat a 'flood dragon' that has been neglected for so many years. ......

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

The prestige of the Arsenal of Spirits will only increase.

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

What do we do?　Shouldn't we also sign a contract with the 'Arsenal of Spirits'?"

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

Hmmm."

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

　Carla got up and ran out of the rest stop.

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

Carla?"

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

Hey, where are you going?"

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

　Carla does not respond to his voice, but goes out into the street.

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

（Where do you think you're going?　(I know what I'm going to do.)

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

　Carla ran through the streets, aiming for the "Arsenal of Spirits" at a stretch.
