The "White Wolf" was advancing through the dungeon, ready to attack the "Spirit Alliance" with the determination to crush it.

　However, Gilbert was not there at this critical moment.

　Sebasta and Willik felt restless.

Hey, where's Gilbert?　Where the hell did he go at this critical moment?"

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

It's funny, isn't it? We said we would meet up with you after we entered the dungeon.

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

I don't see how we can meet up with them, since we have already crossed the "metal line". We have already crossed the 'metal line.' Even if we wanted to meet up with them, we would have to go to ......."

　Meanwhile, the staff at "Dragon's Fireside" were busy responding to complaints.

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

　The organization, which had been messed up because of Edgar, had been receiving a string of complaints from the Adventurers' Guild and stores due to a series of clerical miscommunications and a large number of defective products.

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

　The morale of the staff was completely demoralized, and the number of absenteeism, work-related accidents, and violations of job regulations had skyrocketed, leaving senior staff to scramble to clean up the mess.

　Even Raul, who had been treated as a sanctuary, was forced to stop his own work to handle complaints.

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

Mr. Raul. We have a complaint from the Sepia Trading Company.

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

Another complaint?

It seems there was a large amount of defective armor mixed in with the armor we delivered. ......

Tch. All right, I'll take care of it."

(Edgar's the guy, he's away from the guild at a time like this.)

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

　Raul couldn't help muttering a bitter complaint in his mind.

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

　A few days ago, Edgar said he was going on a sudden business trip and left Raul and Charles to take care of the rest.

(The guild is having such a hard time. (The guild is in such trouble, who has time to go on a business trip?)

　While Raul was busy processing claims, another junior staff member came running in.

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

Mr. Raul. We have a problem!

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

What now?"

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

The former head of the guild has broken into the workshop (atelier) and is making a lot of noise. He's saying things like, 'Get Edgar out.

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

What?　Medes?"

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

(I thought that guy was incarcerated.)

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

He's not a part of this anymore. Get him out."

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

No, you can't. They've broken through reception."

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

　Soon I heard screams and the sound of some equipment falling over from the reception area.

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

　It was the sound of the Medes going berserk.

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

　Raul couldn't help but hold his head.

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

'Edgar!　Where are you, Edgar? You set me up. I won't allow it, Edgar.

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

Please don't do this. This area is restricted to authorized personnel only.

Shut up!

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

Aah!

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

　Medes pushed a female employee who stopped him.

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

　She then crowded the remaining male staff member.

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

Hee..."

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

Hey, you. Where's Edgar? Where the hell is he?

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

The guild president is on a business trip.

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

What?　A business trip?　What the hell do you think you're doing going on a business trip at a time like this!　Do you think you can lick the guild president's job?

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

　Medes blackmailed the official.

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

　The staff member became tensed.

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

　Even though he had already been legally relieved of his position as guild president, he was the one who had originally hired him.

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

　When he was yelled at, the staff members were apt to be awe-struck out of habit.

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

（I'm not going to do it. That traitor. Oh well. I have to retrieve the funds as soon as possible.)

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

Hidden in the vaults of "Dragon's Fires" was the black money that Medes had earned during his anti-corporation days.

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

　If the investigative authorities find this, he will face serious charges and his assets will be seized.

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

　Before that happens, he must launder the money and at least protect his assets.

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

（He will be thrown in jail. But that money. We have to protect that hard-earned money somehow. Edgar's absence was unexpected, but that's okay. It's more of a convenience for us to move the assets. (......) while we still managed to get him paroled.

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

　Medes opened the safe in the guild leader's office with a duplicate key he had just in case, and tried to remove the gold bars inside.

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

　However, the safe was empty.

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

（Oh, what is that?　Where's my, where's my gold?)

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

　It is not only the Medes' slush fund.

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

　The guild's common funds were also completely gone.

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

There he is. It's Medes.

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

Seize him.

　Raul comes in with a guard.

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

Raul says, "Geez. What are you doing? Get out of here!

　In the empty harbor, two men were hiding in the shadows, looking around.

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

How's it going, Gilbert?

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

It's okay, there's no one here. No problem.

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

Good. Let's get to work. Good boy."

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

　Edgar and Gilbert, two men who had been hiding in the shadows, disguise the gold bullion they have brought from the "Dragon's Fireside" vault in the crates that will be loaded tomorrow.

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

The old man. I didn't expect him to have such a big gold nugget hidden away.

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

　Gilbert said, looking at the gold nuggets.

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

Kukuk. You stupid guild members. They didn't even know we were taking out the contents of the safe. I wonder if they're working hard to respond to our complaints right now. Anyway, Gilbert. The "backstreet" we're going to now, right?　They will also exchange bills and assets of unknown origin for cash there. That story is true, isn't it?"

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

I was like, "Yeah, I'll do it. I'm sure of it. I cashed in some assets from my former guild (the guild I belonged to before "The Golden Eagle") there.

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

Good. Good.

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

I'll see you later. Let's load up the boat and get out of here. It's a shame we won't be able to stop at some of the sights on this island. ......"

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

I'll tell you what. Are you sure about your friends?　Sebasta and Willik, right?　They're from the same town, right?"

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

Ahh. It's okay. I was only going to use you from the beginning. I was just getting fed up with those idiots."

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

Kukuku. You're bad, aren't you?

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

No, no, no. Not as much as your Highness.

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

"Ha ha ha."

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

Who is he? You rotten bastard.

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

　The two turned to look at the harsh voice that had suddenly descended on them.

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

　When they looked, Wayne and Pato were there.

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

I knew this was going to happen," Wayne said. What's with the business trip? It's just embezzlement.

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

　Wayne scowled fiercely at Ginn.

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

I can't believe you're sneaking around with the guild's money. It looks like you've finally gone to the bottom of the rottenness. Edgar?

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

Mr. Edgar. That money is the common property of the guild. It should be used to rebuild Dragon's Fires and to pay the salaries of the staff. It is not too late. Please don't do this.

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

　Pato, too, said in an unusually angry tone.

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

An?　Wayne, Pato. Who the hell are you talking to?

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

Wait. Edgar. Let's keep things civil here.

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

　Gilbert interrupted.

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

'Wayne and Pato, right?　I don't know. I think the four of us should split this asset amongst ourselves. We'll split it among the four of us. We won't make you look bad.

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

Who's going to take your bribes?　We're not so soft-hearted as to be fooled by the same people over and over again!

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

　Wayne said this, and then he struck out at the two.

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

In the "Volcano Dungeon," the "White Wolf" was making its final attack against the "Spirit Alliance.

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

　Sebasta saw Jill and charged.

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

You're Jill Irwin, aren't you?　I haven't forgotten your grudge against me for jumping over you to become the most popular guy in town, even though you're new!　We met here, but it's been 100 years. Defeat you and I will be class S!　Gwah!"

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

　A touch of armor.

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

　Sebasta was easily blown away by Jill with a single blow and flew beyond the battlefield.

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

　Wirik, who happened to be there, was pinned under Sebasta.

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

(Did you just hit something?　(I thought I heard a familiar voice calling my name. ......)

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

　Jill tilted her head but could not recall the owner of the voice, and she regained her composure and plunged into the main body of the "White Wolf".

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

The "White Wolf" anticipated that the "Spirit League" would be wounded to the bone by the battle with the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)," but the "Spirit League" was not as exhausted as they had expected.

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

　In fact, there were more A-class adventurers than when they left the city, and their strength had been increased.

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

The "White Wolves" were forced to retreat after each assault, suffering terrible counterattacks.

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

　Roland ordered his "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" to attack the "Spirit League" from the sky.

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

　However, the "Spirit Alliance" also responded by launching "Fafnir.

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

　It was no ordinary "Fafnir.

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

It is a "barrier dragon.

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

　The dragons controlled by Rodo were one-sidedly beaten by Fafnir, a normal fire dragon that had the ability to create barriers in addition to its normal breath of fire.

(Such is the case with ....... My dragon is ......)

　Pato's "tuning" had improved, and with his experience in the "Wasteland," Nicola, a bard, was able to control even A-class dragon tribes.

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

　Unable to resist, Rodo ordered his men to retreat.

Ray. Can you play 'Onion Sound' and 'Wolf Sound' for me?

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. I'll take care of it.

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

　Ray, the captain of the outside guild "Red Sands Players," waited and gave instructions to his friends.

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

Finally, it's our turn.

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

I'm tired of waiting.

The bards of the Red Sands Players began to play on harps, flutes, and stringed instruments tuned by Pato.

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

　Immediately, the surrounding forests and shadows of rocks begin to rustle, and the ogres and wolves leap out to pursue the fleeing "White Wolf.

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

　No matter how well-trained in hit-and-away tactics the "White Wolf" thieves are, they cannot outrun the wolves and are forced to go around them.

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

　They were soon pursued from behind by the warriors of the "Spirit League.

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

There they are. It's the user of the 'Dragon Flute.

　Only the main force led by Jamil remained.

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

　Roland spread a search network of archers and thieves to search for the location of Jamil's main body.

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

　As they were searching for the enemy while descending the mountain as quickly as possible, Liz finally caught the location of the main body of the enemy.

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

　Roland immediately dispatched the strongest troops of the "Spirit League.

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

　Jamil, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, was waiting at the rendezvous point with Rodo, which he had promised in advance.

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

(Rodo is not coming back?　(Don't tell me the "League of Spirits" got you?)

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

　In the meantime, a bandit (Thief) who was patrolling the area returns.

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

The bandit (Thief) who was patrolling the perimeter returns. The "Spirit League" is coming this way. It seems that they have found us.

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

Captain. We've been rounded. The way out is blocked.

Prepare for battle. Hurry up."

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

　Jamil, cornered, waited for the strongest troops of the "Spirit Alliance" to decide who would win the battle.

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

　But it was in vain.

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

　The vanguard was cut down before Archie's A-class defense and Ike's offensive power, and Jill's assault, which came as a final blow, destroyed the unit in less than an hour.

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

　Jamil was forced to flee the scene alone.

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

　With his quickness and good judgment, Jamil managed to escape to the forest, but just as he was about to do so, he was blocked by a thief.

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

　It was Carla.

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

She was Carla. Get out of the way!

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

　Jamil slashes at Carla, but she dodges him with her agility, and rather than fighting back, she is beaten back.

　He is slashed in the shoulder and cowering.

　His eye patch also shifted off in the spur of the moment.

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

He was hit in the shoulder, and his eye patch slipped off. You are done here. Surrender now.

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

　Jamil laughed eerily while protecting his slashed arm.

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

Kukuku. That's not a good idea.

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

I'm not a fool. Can't you see that the trend has already been decided?　Why on earth would you go that far ......"

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

It doesn't matter how cornered they are. There's no turning back now. I'm just like you. I'm the one who was abandoned by the island!"
