What do you mean, Mr. Hyde?"

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

　Medes had gone to protest to Councilman Hyde, whom he had gotten to know well.

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

He was talking about the fact that the "Arsenal of Spirits" had opened a workshop right next to the "Dragon's Fires".

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

I thought you said that no one but us would be allowed to open a workshop on that avenue that connects to the harbor.

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

No," he said. But things have changed.

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

　Hyde said matter-of-factly.

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

Many outside adventurers' guilds have come to the island, and the growth of local adventurers has been remarkable, so there have been calls for another workshop near the harbor. We decided to have the 'Arsenal of Spirits,' which has been making a name for itself recently, play a major role in the project.

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

We don't need two workshops in that place!　We alone are sufficient to meet the demand for alchemy from the outside."

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

But that is not the case. We have received a request from the local adventurers' guild to build a new workshop (atelier) in the 'Arsenal of the Spirits.

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

You, the document.

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

　Hyde had his secretary produce the document and read it over.

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

Alchemists Aina Burke, Wayne Melza, Patrick Garcia, and Leena Hart belong to the "Arsenal of Spirits. All of them are expected to be certified as Class A alchemists by the end of this quarter."

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

The island's reputation will be ruined if we have such promising alchemists and yet we are not given even a single workshop (atelier), right?　Well, in that case, why don't you back off here, Mr. Medeiros?"

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

"Nuh-uh."

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

（Roland, you're blabbing again. How many A-class alchemists can you produce out of the blue like that? Hyde is Hyde. Normally you wouldn't fall for such a blatant scam. He must have been paid by Roland, right?)

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

　But Hyde was not paid.

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

　He had recently lost support among residents and wanted a new voting bloc for the next election.

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

　The "Arsenal of Spirits" and the local adventurers' alliance led by them appeared to be the perfect match.

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

(The "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance's popularity has been on the rise recently," he said. ) If we were to contribute to their activities, their image would be enhanced and the number of votes they would receive would increase. On the other hand, rumors have begun to circulate about the "Dragon's Fires," and it is clear that they are on the wane. We have to think carefully about our future. No hard feelings, Medes.)

Shortly before the "Arsenal of Spirits" was fully revealed, Lisetta had visited Lange.

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

　She had been gathering information on her own since she retired from "Dragon's Fires" and was looking for a new place to work, when she heard a rumor that the "Arsenal of Spirits" was opening a new workshop (atelier).

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

Do you want to join us?"

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

　Lange was responding to Lizetta's sudden visit with a stinky look.

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

Yes," she said. I was wondering if the "Arsenal of Spirits" would like to hire a new alchemist.

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

I don't recall putting out such a notice, but ......

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

I heard that the "Arsenal of Spirits" is going to set up a new workshop (atelier). If that is the case, won't the staff you have now be enough?

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

(This guy ......, where did you get your information from ......)

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

That said, ......, is Roland not here?"

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

　Lizetta asked in a slightly modified manner.

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

'Mr. Roland is currently leading the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance on a dungeon quest.

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

Oh, I didn't know that. That's too bad. I was hoping to talk to you for a while.

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

Do you know Mr. Roland?"

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

Yes. Please tell Mr. Roland when he returns. That Lisetta visited him to fulfill an earlier promise."

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

Promise?　What the ......"

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

I'm a little afraid to say it here.

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

(What kind of relationship does this guy ...... have with Mr. Roland?)

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

　As Lange was growing wary, Aina entered the room.

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

She said, "Mr. Lange, I'd like to talk to you about your new workshop (atelier). ...... Oh?　You're Lizetta, aren't you?"

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

I'm not sure what to say. Aina-san.

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

Hmm?"　Do you two know each other?"

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

Yeah. Well."

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

　Aina chuckled.

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

　Lizetta looks disappointed.

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

　Aina turned to Lizetta and gave her a victorious look.

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

Aina turned to Lizetta and gave her a triumphant look. You told me that time, didn't you?　He said that if the alchemists in our workshop (atelier) can beat the equipment you made even once, you can transfer to our workshop (atelier). My "Flexible Shield" seems to have captured your "Javelin of Fire".　Are you ready to admit to me and Mr. Roland a little?"

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

"Nuh-uh."

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

　Lizetta looked chagrined for a few moments, but soon regained her relaxed demeanor.

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

'Well, it certainly seems to be true that the adventurer wearing my equipment lost. That's fine. Let's just say for once that I lost here. However, the game is not over yet. Under Roland's guidance at the Arsenal of Spirits, I will surely make better equipment than you.

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

　Aina frowns.

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

(...... I wonder why Wayne and the others from "Dragon's Fires" are so proud. They can't honestly admit defeat.)

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

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it," he said. Anyway, you will be transferred to us as promised. I don't know what will happen until Mr. Roland comes back, but I welcome it. Even if we become colleagues, I have no intention of losing to you. So please plan on it."

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

Yes. Yes, that's exactly what we want.

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

　Ranju has a difficult time following their conversation and makes a difficult face.

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

(I can't see what they're talking about at all. What the hell are you doing, Mr. Roland?)

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

In the "volcano dungeon," Roland and his team had finished procuring ore and were about to dismount.

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

　This time, too, they tried to pull the "Grand Alliance" to the very last minute before passing, and then tried to impose the burden on the "White Wolves".

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

　However, for once, the "White Wolves" did not go along with Roland's plan.

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

　They put their main force against the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.

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

　The "Grand Alliance," which had lost one-third of its strength, was no longer viable.

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

　Looking ahead, the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance is the one to beat.

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

　Jamil decided so.

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

　The "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance was attacked by "bow fire" from ambush and "Fafnir" from the shadows of the mountains.

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

It's Fafnir!"

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

They're coming from the shadow of the mountain.

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

Bow fire' from the other side. "White Wolf."

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

The adventurers of the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance began to respond to the ambush and ambush by the "White Wolf" in a jostling manner.

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

It was extremely difficult to defend the alliance, which had swelled to include the "Guardians of the Magic Tree.

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

　Nicola's "Dragon Sound" could not cover the entire range of the troops, and the "Fire Breath" of "Fafnir" often caused chaos at the edges of the alliance.

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

　The alliance was led by Roland in the center, Leon in the rear guard, and Euphine in the vanguard, but "White Wolf" skillfully took advantage of weak points in each unit's linkage and terrain to gradually drain the strength of the alliance.

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

(This tangled feeling. There's Jamil. (I guess the strategy to make the "White Wolf" turn its contrarianism toward the "Grand Alliance" failed.)

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

　Jamil was observing and commanding the formation of the "Arsenal of Spirits.

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

(I still can't seem to cover all of this large contingent, after all.)

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

　Jamil saw that the vanguard led by Yuffine had many members of the "Guardians of the Magic Tree" and that they were not well coordinated.

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

He said, "We'll go for the vanguard. Stall the enemy as long as possible."

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

(If the march is delayed, the "Grand Alliance," which will eventually come from behind, can be allowed to attack. If that happens, it will be a three-way melee. (If we delay the march, the "Grand Alliance" will eventually come up behind us and attack.)

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

　Thus, the vanguard of the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance, a mix of "Guardians of the Magic Tree" and local adventurers, was exposed to the most intense attacks.

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

　Rick felt itchy as he stood on the front line and caught the frequent rain of arrows.

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

（d*mn. This pattern again. (d*mn it, this pattern again.) We're being attacked so blatantly by the enemy, and yet we can't go in to attack them.

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

　Rick was strictly warned by Roland not to charge in alone.

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

　When assaulting, there should be at least two people, and only when there is support from the rear guard.

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

(though ......)

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

　Rick glances at the local adventurers beside him.

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

(I don't think these guys have the courage to charge in. (I don't think these guys have the courage to charge. What's wrong? Is there any way to break the deadlock and deal a blow to the White Wolf?)

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

　As Rick was thinking about this, someone jumped out from next to him.

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

(!　Who's there?)

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

　It was Elio.

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

　He ran up the hill and jumped into the "White Wolf" camp, hiding the upper part of his body with his shield.

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

（He was still thinking somewhere in his mind. It's okay as it is. (I still thought somewhere, "It's fine as it is. (But ......)

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

　In Elio's mind is the scene where Roland is appeasing Rick.

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

（He said, "If we're not worthy, it's Roland who has to clean up the mess in the end. Roland has been patient with us for our growth. Now it's our turn to support Roland!)

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

　Elio runs into one of the enemy's defensive lines and breaks up the battle line.

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

　Seeing this, Rick smiled.

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

'Phew. There's a guy with a bone to pick. Even on this island!"

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

　Rick followed Erio and cut into the "White Wolf" camp.

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

　Encouraged by the two adventurers' charge, the other adventurers in the rear were advancing one after another.

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

　The local adventurers were among them.

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

The "White Wolf" quickly withdrew from the scene.

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

　Roland, who arrived late, was pleased with Erio's courageous fight.

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

（He was satisfied with Erio's courageous fight. I've been waiting for it, Erio.)

　The "White Wolves" then quickly dispersed and did not suffer any decisive damage.

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

　However, the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance, whose vanguard had no more gaps due to the two A-class shield users, continued to bounce back every time an attack came from the "White Wolf" and reached the town safely.

　The people of the city congratulated the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.
