　Cheal was praying in a soundproof room.

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

　Then, a light came down from a lamp hanging from the ceiling, and a spirit inhabited the silver spear on which it rested.

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

　The blade glittered with heat, while the handle was cool as fresh water.

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

(Good. It is done.)

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

　Cheal tapped with a mallet or touched with his bare hand for a while, checked the workmanship, and then ran out of the soundproof room.

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

Mr. Roddy! Come here.

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

Cheal. What's wrong?"

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

Look at this. The Javelin is ready!

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

This is ......

　Roddy holds the "Javelin" in his hand.

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

（Roddy holds the "Javelin" in his hand. Even Lizetta's "Javelin" has a wooden handle.

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

What do you think, Mr. Roddy?

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

No, I'm overwhelmed. It probably surpasses the quartet's Javelin.

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

Yay.

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

I'll have to have Mr. Roland appraise it to be sure, but this is ...... good enough."

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

　As Roddy was about to take the "Fire Spear (Javelin)" under Roland, he was confronted by Lange, who was standing in front of the entrance in the shape of a demon.

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

　Cheal's face suddenly turned blue.

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

Cheal, did you use the silver without permission?"

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

What?　Cheal, you didn't get Ranju's permission, did you?"

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

Woah. No, sir. This is because Mr. Roddy said I could use it."

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

You're lying. I thought you were sneaking around hiding something. ......"

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

I don't care. You've made equipment that surpasses the quartet.

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

That's not the point. Who's going to use this when we don't even have a customer who is a lancer?

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

　Wayne and Pato were a bit depressed to see that.

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

(What a child! I can't believe he easily surpassed the quartet after only a few days on this island. ......)

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

(What the hell are we trying to do? ......)

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

Guys, come here for a second."

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

　Roland calls out to them, and the workers gather in droves.

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

We have received a request from Elio and the others to make A-class equipment.

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

Class-A equipment?"

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

Finally, an A-class adventurer will be born from this island. ......

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

We are to make A-class or better armor, bows and arrows, staffs, and swords for Elio, Hans, Will, and Carla, respectively. First, Cheal."

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

You will be the silversmith and the foundation for all of our products.

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

Then Aina.

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

"The coating will strengthen the armor and the bow and arrow's power and durability.

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

Pato, you are to reduce the burden of the search as much as possible through 'Ryuonon' and 'Onionon. I also ask you to have a meeting with Nicolas and the others."

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

Aryeh, Leena. You are to refine the ore and supply the earthcraft.

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

Lange, you will oversee, coordinate and manage all projects.

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

Understood.

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

Roddy, Ize, Roullier, Melinda. You will support the main staff in their normal duties. You will work flexibly as the situation requires.

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

「「「「 understand」」」」

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

Finally, Wayne.

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

　Roland looked at Wayne with a very serious look on his face.

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

　Wayne, too, took it straight on with a look of determination.

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

He said, "Go for the specs. The magic of the staff and the lightness of the sword. Take it to the extreme.

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

While the "Arsenal of the Spirits" was steadily getting into shape, Lisetta was also working on a new project at the "Dragon's Fireside".

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

　As soon as Lizetta was appointed as the leader of the "Arsenal of Spirits" and started working, Edgar came at her with a high-handed attitude.

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

He said, "You can't do this new business by yourself, can you?　If you insist, well, I'll help you out, won't I?"

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

　Lizetta smiled and softly declined.

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

Thank you. But we are well-staffed. You should mind your own business.

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

　Lizetta prepared a document specifying the participants in the new project, their roles, and who was responsible, and had Medes sign it.

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

　She taped it up in a visible place in the conference room.

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

　There were only the names of those in Lizetta's camp, not Edgar and his men.

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

(This will prevent Edgar's side-stepping for the time being. Now we just have to get on with our business.)

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

Now, if we're going to raise Ike to be an A-class spearman (lancer), what's the right way to raise him?"

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

　Lizetta asked the appraisers present.

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

Lizetta answered, "You have to develop your skills anyway.

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

　A skill appraiser said.

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

A Class A monster cannot be defeated without Class A skills, and we should set our highest priority goal as acquiring Class A skills."

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

No, wait a minute."

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

　A status appraiser said.

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

'You should work on your status first. Mr. Belford has room to grow in both power and agility. He should work on his status first, and then work on improving his skills.

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

No, wait.

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

　The appraiser of Item Appraisal A said.

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

Mr. Belford and the Javelin are not fully adapted. First of all, we should think about increasing the adaptability of the equipment and its owner.

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

　The three appraisers argued about this and that, but came to no conclusion.

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

All right," said the three appraisers, "I'll take your word for it. Let's change the question then. What kind of equipment do I need to make to get Ike to Class A?"

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

　When Lizetta said this, the three connoisseurs fell silent.

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

　They only appraised alchemists, adventurers, equipment, and items, and had no experience in providing comprehensive support, including equipment manufacturing and dungeon exploration assistance.

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

　Lizetta bristles.

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

(I guess when you start a new business, you can't help but feel a bit groping. I have no idea what the right direction is. But if we don't get through this, we won't beat Roland.)

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

　After that, no particularly good ideas came out of the meeting.

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

　Since we had no choice, we agreed that, for now, we would ask Ike to try the quest to defeat the Class A monster and supplement what was missing there.

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

　When Edgar realized that he could not take a bite out of Lizetta's project, he decided to instigate Medes.

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

　While going about his daily business, he brought up the new project.

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

He asked, "Guild leader, are you serious about going ahead with that new project of Lizetta's?"

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

Since there is no alternative, we have no choice," he said. Since Lizetta wants to do it, we have no choice but to let her do it.

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

In fact, I've overheard some unsavory rumors about her.

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

What?　What kind of rumors?

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

"We've heard that Lisetta has been meeting secretly with Roland at night."

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

What?　Is that true?"

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

I don't know if it's true or not. I only heard about it through people. But didn't you think it strange?　Why launch a training plan by appraisers "now"? It seems to me that it would only benefit the "Spirit Arsenal" to go to the trouble of competing with them on their own ground."

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

I don't know what Lizetta and Roland are up to, but is it really a good idea to leave her on the loose like this, repeatedly acting suspiciously?"

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

Edgar, what do you think you should do?"

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

I think she should be collared in some way and kept under close surveillance.

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

　On the spot, Medes reserved his opinion and let Edgar back down.

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

　Edgar, however, considered it an accomplishment enough.

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

(Now we've planted the seed of suspicion. Now all we have to do is wait for it to grow. Let it grow as big as you want. Until it snaps like a balloon.)

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

　Lizetta approached Ike about taking down the Class A monster.

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

　But here comes the problem.

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

　When Ike hears about Lizetta's plan, he rushes over to explain.

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

Succession?"

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

　Lizetta frowned at the unfamiliar words.

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

If you want to go to the wastelands, it's not enough just to upgrade your equipment to A class," she said. We must also devise ways to prevent the deterioration of equipment and troops that will occur along the way.

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

(What's that? What am I supposed to do with that?)

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

　Having no choice, Lizetta decided to find an adventurer who had previously joined the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance and ask him how Roland was doing.

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

　According to the adventurer, the "Arsenal of Spirits" uses "earthcraft" to maintain the strength of its equipment while also performing training.

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

　Upon hearing this information, Lizetta headed for the guild leader's office.

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

The guild leader said, "Guild leader, may I come in?"

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

Hmm?　Lizetta. What's up?"

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

We've run into a bit of a problem with our new business. ......

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

　Lizetta informed him that "Earthcraft" was needed.

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

She said, "Hmmm. Is that what it is?

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

　Medes was not quite sure what to make of it.

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

Medes was not quite sure what to make of it. Yes, that's what it is. So, we would like to have additional budget for the procurement and refining of 'earthcraft' ......."

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

　Medes' eyebrows twitch uncomfortably.
