At the "Arsenal of Spirits," personnel changes were taking place.

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

　Roland announced the promotions at a meeting where all the staff members of the workshop (atelier) gathered together.

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

　Most of those who had belonged to the guild before moving to the new workshop (atelier) were promoted and given positions.

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

　Aina was given the position of branch manager.

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

　Wayne, Pato, and Leena were assigned the title of senior professional staff.

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

　Roddy, Ize, Roullier, and Melinda were given the title of sub-leader.

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

　Each was given a special badge and certificate, with a note on the certificate that their salary would be increased.

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

The certificates also included an increase in salary. Now I have a title.

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

I'm not sure I'll be able to do it. It's very motivating, isn't it?

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

　Wayne and Pato looked at each other's new positions and nodded proudly.

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

　At this point, the announcement was largely expected and no surprise to anyone.

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

'Well, then, last but not least, Lisetta.

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 chief developer of equipment for the Grand Fafnir.

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

Yes, sir. I will do my best!

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

　The unexpected announcement caused a stir.

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

What, are you serious?

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

　Wayne bites.

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

Wayne bit out, "Even though he was part of a quartet, you're suddenly going to pick a guy who just joined us like that?"

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

The "Grand Fafnir" is a giant fire dragon, and Aina's "coated" weapons would be better for it.

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

　Pato concurred with Wayne's opinion.

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

He said, "Oh. I see. I didn't mention it. Lizetta has newly awakened to the unique skill of 'Integrated Design.

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

Integrated Design?"

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

What's that? Another skill I've never heard of. ......

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

Integrated Design" is a skill that allows each person to create a design document by integrating their unique skills. In other words, it's a skill that is a supercompatible to regular product design.

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

Upwardly compatible: ......"

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

　Roddy mutters uneasily.

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

　Roland, who had noticed Roddy's condition, immediately followed up.

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

Roddy, you're not out of a job. Lizetta will be designing equipment that uses multiple unique skills. Well, mainly for the outside adventurers' guild. The design for the local guilds will continue to be handled by you, Roddy.

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

　When Roland said this, Rodi was visibly relieved.

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

I see. I understand.

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

Well, that's why she can also integrate Wayne's 'magic stone cutting' and Aina's 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' to make equipment.

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

I see." So Lizetta has been working alone lately. To awaken her unique skills."

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

I thought you were doing something sneaky, but that's what this is about. Well, let's see what it's all about, then.

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

　Pato and Wayne said in a manner that seemed to make sense to them.

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

　Anyway, the "Arsenal of Spirits" began to move under a new structure.

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

　Lizetta immediately went through the blueprints of equipment made using Aina and Wayne's unique skills.

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

　Then she realized that their unique skills were more powerful than she had imagined.

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

(I had no idea it was such a powerful skill. And that's not all. They are also skillful in how they are used. ......)

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

　Lizetta was once again impressed by Roland's ability to find talent and his skillful use of it.

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

　Having acquired the unique skill of "Integrated Design," Roland and Risetta were able to deepen their understanding of each other's unique skills.

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

　She then creates a blueprint that integrates her own unique skills and the unique skills of the two.

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

　When Wayne saw the blueprint created by Rizzetta, he narrowed his eyes.

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

(Hoh...) I'm sure you're right. I see. This is very well done.)

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

　Aina, too, understood the excellence of Lisetta's design at a glance.

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

The "shield of fire bullets," the armor with double exterior reinforcement (coating), and the silver poison sword.

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

　Each was designed to take full advantage of Jill's unique skills, taking her status into consideration.

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

　The three immediately set about manufacturing them.

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

Both the "Shield of Fire Bullets" and the "Blue Armor (Reflective Armor)" were completed in no time.

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

　All that remained was the silver poison sword.

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

　The silver poison sword had the most complicated manufacturing process.

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

　First, Risetta made the mold of the silver sword, and then Wayne reduced its weight by "magic stone cutting.

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

　Aina then applied a red "coating" to the blade to complete the process.

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

　The difficult part of this sword was that there were grooves dug into the blade to distribute the poison.

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

　The grooves made for a complicated design.

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

　Moreover, the weight of the "Reflective Armor" and the "Shield of Fire Bullets" had to be reduced to the very limit.

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

　Although there should have been no problem in the design, even the slightest error in the production process would have caused it to collapse.

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

　Everything depended on how precisely Wayne could reduce the weight.

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

(Well, let's see what happens.)

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

　Lizetta waited for Wayne to finish the weight reduction process.

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

Wayne," Lizetta said, "hey, Wayne. What's going on with that sword?

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

　As Aina was taking a break in the break room, she heard Lizetta's angry voice.

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

An?　Lizetta?　What's the matter with you?

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

I'm not sure what's going on here," he said. It's not at all what the blueprints say.

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

　Lisetta slams the blueprint on the desk.

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

Lizetta slams the blueprints down on the desk, "This will mess up the mechanism for distributing the poison through the blade, won't it?"

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

Oh, about that."

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

　Wayne said matter-of-factly.

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

'Then this is fine, because I can make it lighter this way. I'll fix it.

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

　Wayne scribbles a new line on the blueprint.

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

Nah. What are you doing? I am the development leader of this equipment, so do as I say.

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

No, I'm just saying, this is better.

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

That defeats the whole concept of this equipment.

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

　The two then argued and argued, but never settled.

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

　When Lizetta told him to follow the blueprints, Wayne replied that the blueprints were worse.

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

　Finally, Lizetta demanded that Aina remove Wayne from the development team.

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

(Hmmm. That's a problem.)

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

　Aina decided to consult with Roland.

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

'Wayne and Lizetta are arguing?

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

Yes," he said. Do we build it according to the blueprints, or do we modify it?"

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

I see. That's what ......"

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

It seems to me that both sides have a point. What should I do?"

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

(Lizetta's "integrated design" is class B. Does that mean there is still some barrier to cross to integrate the unique skills of three people?)

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

I'm going to go to the office and see if I can get some help. All right. Let's all take a look at Wayne's work then. Maybe that will tell us something."

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

　Roland, accompanied by Lizetta and Aina, decided to watch Wayne's work.

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

　I'll let Wayne do what he wants with the original blueprints.

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

　Lizetta watched Wayne's work with some dissatisfaction.

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

　Wayne, too, looked frustrated, but continued to chip away at the silver sword.

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

　As she watched, Lizetta noticed that Wayne's work was very different from what she had imagined.

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

(Oh, I think I might have figured it out.)

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

　The cutting that Wayne performs in one operation was an unexpectedly large cut.

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

　With this much cutting, it certainly seemed tough to shape it like the current blueprints.

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

　Eventually, Wayne's work was completed.

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

He said, "You see. If you keep cutting like this, you end up with this shape .......

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

　Not even waiting for Wayne to finish, Lizetta was running out of the room.

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

　Later, Lisetta rewrote the blueprints and brought them to Wayne.

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

　When Wayne saw the blueprints, he was astonished.

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

　Just by looking at the blueprints, he could picture the completed sword.

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

(This was the first time he could visualize it so clearly. This is the true value of "Integrated Design" ......)

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

　When I actually worked on it, the blueprint was created exactly as it should be.

While the "Arsenal of Spirits" was clearing up the problems of Lizetta and Wayne, equipment was being made for the "White Wolf" at the "Dragon's Fireside" as well, with the stakes turned around.

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

　How could "White Wolf," with only B-class adventurers and below, compete with the "Spirit League" led by S-class adventurer Jill Irwin?

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

(There was no point in dwelling on the question. There is no time to waste. We have no choice but to strengthen Jamil and his team's equipment as much as possible, no matter how slim the chances of winning are!)

　Raul had not fought an enemy stronger than himself in a long time, but he still managed to come up with a plan by desperately gathering his wits.

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

(This is it. It's the only way!)

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

　Raul's proposal was as follows.

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

The "dragon-headed cage" has reached its peak of strength.

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

　He would then discard "Magic Crafting" and use his remaining "Silversmithing" A skill to make silver daggers, long swords, armor, and bows and arrows, and use "Product Design" A to raise their suitability rate to the limit.

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

　Raul presented this idea to Edgar, the guild leader.

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

Raul presented this idea to Edgar, the guild leader, who said, "Ummm. Rejected."

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

What about?"

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

　Edgar's words caused Raul to give an unintentionally dumb response.

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

I told you it was rejected. Go try again."

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

Wait a minute. What the hell is wrong with this idea?

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

Problem?　Oh, for heaven's sake.

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

　Edgar turns to Raul in a tiresome manner.

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

　As if to say, "Don't you understand if I don't explain every single thing?

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

"Here. This 'increase the conformance rate as much as possible. What the heck is this?

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

　Edgar said, tapping the paper with his pen with a thump.

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

'This is going to cost you a fortune, isn't it?　There's no way I could approve such a low-margin product as head of the guild."

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

I'm not sure I want to be a part of this. Budget. This is not the time to be talking about that. Right now, we need to strengthen "White Wolf" as much as possible.

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

Anyway, I reject it. Go rewrite it now.

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

Hey, you.

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

Oh, dear.

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

　Raul was about to grab Edgar when Charles intervened.

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

'The guild is in a difficult situation right now,' he said. Let's all work together here. Right?"

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

Kuch ......"

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

　Charles then led the way in revising Raul's proposal.

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

　However, this was not the kind of cooperation or collaboration that is possible when opinions are shared, but rather a mere skeleton of a plan.

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

　While Raul's plan was thus neutralized, Edgar poured a lot of money into his own plan, the "Black Bow Revision.

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

(Good. If it succeeds, the credit is mine. If it fails, Raul will get the blame.)

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

　With his position as head of the guild insecure, Edgar could not afford to let anyone take more credit than he did.

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

　To this end, he had to make an excuse to oust Raul, who was more capable than he was, if the need arose.

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

　No matter how genius his subordinates may be, they are nothing under Edgar.
