　We stopped by Mel's workshop to discuss taking Mel and Meraru to paradise and to check the finish of the Fire Dragon dagger. When I told him that I was satisfied with the workmanship of the dagger, Mel half cried and rejoiced. I'm sorry.

"Mel, can you put a letter on the hilt of this dagger?"

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

　I know you're pretty busy, but I've asked you to do a new job for me. But since they are similar daggers, it would be easier to recognize them if they had names on them.

"Ah, yes. I just need to sharpen and polish it.

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

"How long does it take?"

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

It depends on what you want to put in it, but I've made the tools to sharpen it, so it shouldn't take that long.

"Good. Then I would like you to engrave each name on the handle head. Yuta, Gina, Sara, Marco, Kikka, and Mel.

　I thought about having a cooler sentence or something engraved on it, but it's a sturdy dagger, so I feel it will last for generations to come. Let's not leave a sentence that will become black history far into the future. I'm a little curious to know how people will react in the future if I put "Yuta, the strongest spiritist" or something like that.

"What?　My name too?"

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

　Mel is confused. He didn't expect it to be given to him.

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

"Yeah, I'm thinking of using the dagger as a sign of my apprenticeship. Since Mel is my apprentice, I need Mel's dagger too.

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

"What?　But it's expensive and ......"

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

"But you're still my apprentice, so you'll have to give it to me. Or are you going to stop being my apprentice?"

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

No, no, but ...... I understand. Thank you, Master."

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

　Mel looks kind of tired. How is it that a dagger he made himself is being given to him?

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

"Well, I'll give you the dagger tomorrow with everyone else...can you finish carving it by tomorrow?"

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

Yes, if it is just the name, I think it will be enough time.

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

"I'm sorry to bother you at your busy time, but please do. I'm sorry to bother you, but please do. We'll all pick it up tomorrow morning.

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

Okay. I'll finish it in time.

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

"Yes, please. Oh, I'll pay you first. Uh, how much?"

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

　To be honest, I don't know how much blacksmithing costs.

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

"No, the materials belonged to the master and it was a good experience. Besides, since you gave me the dagger, I can't accept the fee."

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

　Hmmm ...... must have spent a good amount of time on this dagger. It would be awkward to have them work for free, even though there is some subtle work involved, but it doesn't look like they are making that much money. But Mel is looking at me with a very serious face. A look that says, "I'm not taking it.

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

"Um, Meral. Mel says he doesn't want the money, but is the workshop going to run okay?"

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

　Giving up on trying to persuade him by himself, he calls up Meral, who has been asking Sylphy a lot of questions. Meral would know the situation of the workshop better and would be able to tell us what Mel is having trouble with.

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

"Mel is doing his job, and he has some property left by his predecessor, so he'll be fine."

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

　Oh, I see. ...... my extra nosiness?　But what about letting the apprentice work for free?　Even if I give them the dagger, that's on the same terms as Gina and the others. ...... Huh?　I don't know what to do anymore.

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

"Hmm, I'll give you the rest of the fire dragon's fangs, Mel. Make some kind of profit from it. See you tomorrow.

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

　He says nothing more than that and leaves the workshop as if to run away. At any rate, it must be wrong that Mel doesn't get any profit, so I guess it's all right.

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

"Yuta. Mel was making a fuss about not being able to receive it.

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

"Well, I'll try to convince Mel again when she calms down."

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

　For now, let's just say that we gave them the reward, even if it feels like a push.

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

　We left Mel's workshop and stopped by the Adventurers' Guild. I enter the guild as usual, but I am immediately taken to the guildmaster's room. I feel like a VIP, but it's not so much that I feel welcomed, but more like I'm isolated to avoid any trouble. Come to think of it, I've seen the same kind of treatment with beryl jewelry: .......

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

"Mr. Yuta, it's been a long time. What's wrong?

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

　The guildmaster calls out to me as I enter the room. He is as fat as ever, and I wonder if he has adult-onset diseases.

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

"Yes, you asked me to escort you to someone close to me. I just wanted to make sure you weren't getting in any trouble.

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

Oh, I see. So far no one has made a big deal about it. A merchant guild who couldn't read the currents of the times tried to mess with your apprentice's restaurant, but the Adventurers' Guild and the Commerce Guild took care of it. Things have been quiet since then.

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

　Isn't it a big enough deal to destroy the Chamber of Commerce?

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

Have the nobles and the military done anything?

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

Yes, the king has issued a strict order for the nobles. He said that any unnecessary trouble with Yuta will be severely punished. He also said that his title would be annihilated, so he will not be able to make any rash moves. As for the military, the power struggle between the mainstream Gulli faction and the non-mainstream faction has come to the surface, and it seems that there is no time to get involved here.

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

　It seems that the king has given us quite a notice. I was distrustful when he invited me into the room with the trap, but it was just for precaution. The army doesn't care. They can fight all they want. Now we just have to decide when to end the escort.

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

Can we assume that we won't be attacked again?

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

"Yes, ...... there is no chance of being attacked, but I would say it is safe to say that it is safe now."

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

"So, shall we pull out the escort?"

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

"Yes, ...... we will reduce the number of people, but we will still have a small number of guards."

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

　They seem to be taking it surprisingly carefully. Thank God.

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

Thank you.

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

　I had heard what I wanted to hear and was about to leave, but the guildmaster kept me back. He told me that Wings of the Labyrinth and Muscle Star had been working very hard and that he was very worried about their fatigue.

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

　He told me that the environment of the labyrinthine wings and Muscle Star has become black. I know what you mean. They want me to make it easier for them by getting more people through the 50th level.

　But it's obviously not right. Even if there is pressure from those who want the materials, they should be able to get at least a holiday if the Adventurer's Guild stands up and protects them. You won't fool us by glancing at them so much. What's the use of glancing at a fat uncle?

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

"I'm going home. Thank you very much."

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

　Ignoring the voices that keep me here, I leave the Adventurers' Guild. It's a strange thing to feel guilty, seeing that pathetic expression on his face, even though it's exactly what I signed up for.

"Yuta, the next stop will be Gilles' workshop. When will you call Deanne and the others?"

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

　It was. I'd like to go back to the inn and play with the belles, but I still have plans. This is a different world and I'm not busy with work, so I should be able to make a schedule that gives me some leeway. Let's think about making our life a little more relaxed.

（I'll summon them near Jill's workshop. (I'll summon them near Jill's workshop. If we summon them all at once, the waiting time will be too long, so I'll start with Dine and Dolly who live with Sylphie.)

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

"Yes, I understand. Yuta, you should do your best to tell Jill about it, since you've worked so hard on it.

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

（Well, it looks difficult, but I have some countermeasures and Saffy drew a picture to explain it, so I'll do my best.)

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

　Sylphy, your expression hasn't changed much, but you are clearly enjoying yourself. Deanne says she's looking forward to it, but I get the impression that Sylphie is looking forward to it too.

　I have a good idea of what I want the house to look like, but it's so different from what I had originally expected that I'm not sure if Jill will be able to make it.

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

　The last time I asked Jill to build me a house, she almost turned me down just because it was a storage house, and I wonder how she would react to an unusual house. I wonder how they will react to an unusual house.

"Yuta-san, are you ordering a house?"

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

　Yes, the tension is high, as expected. It's the first event even for the great spirits who have lived for a long time, so I guess it can't be helped. It's called a dream home.

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

（That's what they say. I'm going to see Jill now, and we'll talk about what we can and can't do, so all three of you listen to me and tell me what I need to know. I'll do my best.)

"Okay. Leave it to my sister!"

　Deanne, puffing her chest out with a moufun. I think Deanne's opinion is the hardest to convey in my opinion. I told her that waterfalls and ...... spoiled waterfalls and .......

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

　Well, it can't be helped if you've been pushed around. I'll just do my best to translate for Jill. Sylphy says that some aristocrats have waterfalls in their gardens, so it's not a big deal if there's a waterfall in the house.

　Even in Japan, there were stores with water flowing from the walls. I step into the building that looks like an architectural firm with a lot of energy.

Excuse me. I had Jill build me a house before, and I'd like to work with her again.

"Please wait a moment. Please wait a moment and I'll check it out.

　On the reception floor, which looks a little dowdy, I ask the receptionist to call Jill for me. I know it's a little late for that, but I've just stormed in without an appointment. If I don't meet Ms. Jill, it will be very awkward when I have to send back Dine and Dolly who are in high spirits. I wish I had my cell phone handy to make a quick call at a time like this.

"Long time no see. How are things at the house?

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

　After a short wait, I was relieved when Jill came out as usual.

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

"Yes, it's a nice place to live and we all like it. We would like you to build about 4 more houses for us, is that OK?

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

"Four houses?　Well, it's my job to build to order, so I don't mind, but is it the same kind of house as before?"

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

No, two of the houses are very different from the previous ones, as they have some special orders.

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

"Well, let's hear what they have to say. Let's go!"

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

　Mr. Jill started walking toward the back. She told me that she would talk to me in the room I had been taken to. At any rate, I was glad to hear that they were not too busy to take my order. Now it's up to me to explain what's going on.
