　The king asked me to instruct a group of prestigious spiritists who work in his castle. As a result, my intentions and the spirits' intentions got mixed up, and I wondered if this might be brainwashing.　I educated them to a level that made me break out in a cold sweat. I am sure that the likability of the genie is going to increase in the future, but I regret that I overdid it. Brainwashing is a bad idea.

"Yuta. Those three guys broke into Mel's workshop. And there's an added bonus..."

"Oh, you came already?"

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

　After the training at the castle, we left the capital immediately because we had overdone it and we felt that relaxing might cause more problems.

　After arriving at the labyrinth city and dropping Mel off at his workshop, we checked in at Torque's inn as usual.

　We were mentally tired after all that had happened, so we took a short rest and went back to the hotel the next day. We were supposed to have a final meeting with Mel after noon today, but he came to his workshop first thing in the morning.

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

　The last time they came to Mel's workshop was right after he came back, so I guess the three of them are taking turns to check Mel's workshop.

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

　It is a good thing that I asked Sylphy to keep an eye on Mel's workshop.

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

　I would have liked to spend the morning at leisure if possible, but if they had come, so be it. Let's get moving too. But first, let's check out .......

"Sylphie, what's the bonus?"

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

　Does this mean that Mr. Gorden and his group have a new member?

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

　I don't care if it's a group of idols, but I don't want to see the proliferation of hot, muscular blacksmiths.

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

"Sounds like a big shot in the blacksmith's guild. He doesn't seem to like it, but the three of them have been pulling him in."

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

　It was not a proliferation. I'm glad to hear that, but big man?

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

　It's surprising that those three had the power to pull out the big guns of the guild, but if the powers that be are out there, I'm a little worried about Mel.

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

　She is stubborn and determined when push comes to shove, but usually she is more of a timid girl than a normal .......

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

　Naturally, she is scared of authority figures.

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

　She was in a bad way when she met the king.

"How's Mel doing?"

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

"He's serving tea and apologizing to the people in the blacksmith's guild. Apparently, Mel knows them too."

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

　Mel knows. That's a little reassuring that he won't do anything rash, but it would be better to join him as soon as possible.

　I was looking forward to it when Mr. Toruku told me he had developed a new soy sauce menu, but I guess we'll have to skip lunch today.　

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

　I don't want Belle and Gina to see the ugly argument between ...... old men, so I'll let Belle and Gina go for a walk as usual, and Gina and Belle to visit her parents' house and her mentors.

"There you go again. I don't care if you're a necromancer or a blacksmith, don't be a prick."

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

　He entered Mel's workshop and complained as soon as he laid eyes on Gorden.

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

　I said, "You're here again? At least be considerate and ask him after lunch.

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

　Also, it's fine to be bossy, but it's so obvious that you're scared that it makes you look pathetic.

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

"Mel. Are you okay?"

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

　I don't have time to worry about a troublesome old man, so I ignore him and call out to Mel.

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

"Oh, yes, I'm fine."

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

　As Sylphy said, he looks apologetic but does not seem to be overstraining himself.

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

　The blacksmith guild official who is drinking tea with a grim expression on his face seems to be a real acquaintance of Mel's.

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

　Then we can't ignore him like we did Goldens.

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

"How do you do? I'm Mel's master of the spiritual arts. I'm Yuta.

"......Tablet, head of the workshop management department of the Labyrinth Branch of the Blacksmith's Guild."

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

　He was still grumpy, but he returned my greeting with a proper greeting. I have a feeling that he is not a bad person.

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

　Is he a craftsman as well as a guild official?　I sense a lack of affection characteristic of craftsmen.

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

　But still, it's a workshop management department.

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

　It seems that in a labyrinth city, there are clearly defined places where workshops can be set up, so it wouldn't be surprising if there is such a department.

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

　And since it has to do with workshops, Mr. Gorden and the others dragged us here.

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

　We arrived in the labyrinth city yesterday, so he might be in a bad mood since he was pulled out of the labyrinth city on such short notice.

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

"Thank you very much for your cooperation. So, you're here on such short notice, in such an important position as the head of a department. How can I help you?"

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

　If you take the side of Mr. Gorden and the others, then you are an enemy, even if you are a great one. He doesn't seem to be a bad person, and I would prefer not to have him as an enemy, but what do you think?

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

"It has long been complained that one of the valuable workshops in the labyrinthine city is being wasted. The staff had been dealing with it, but when they couldn't get anywhere with it, they came to me directly with a complaint."

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

　Mr. Tabre points at Mr. Gorden and the others with his chin.

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

　Mr. Gorden and the others, not only complaining to Mel, but also working for the Blacksmith's Guild?

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

　Annoying, but not a bad strategy.

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

　Maybe they were well-prepared to get Mel's workshop, but they got impatient when I showed up.

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

　So they brought out the guild leaders to counter me as much as possible.

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

　They're called the workshop management department, so they can't be accused of being in charge of the workshop.

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

　I'm probably the reason why the head of the department himself came out here, even though it was a direct appeal. I am aware that I have done something of that magnitude.

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

　But it's a good thing that I'm not a clear enemy. It would be very bad for my public image if I had to go after the Adventurers' Guild and then the Blacksmiths' Guild.

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

"So, what is your decision, Mr. Tabre?　You want Mel to give up his workshop?"

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

　But please answer carefully, because I am prepared to make enemies of the Blacksmith's Guild if you force Mel to be unreasonable.

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

　My public image has been near rock bottom for some time now, and I'm willing to abandon it.

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

　It's a pity, because it's only recently recovered, but still, it's not expensive, so it's easy to make a decision to throw it away.

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

　...... I'm starting to feel like crying.

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

"The workshop belongs to the girl. Even the Blacksmith's Guild has no authority to force her to give it up."

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

"Mr. Tabouret!"

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

　Mr. Gorden interrupts Mr. Tabre's words, looking impatient. Were they not communicating?

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

"But it is also true that the workshops in the labyrinthine city are valuable. There are many who, like these men, do not have access to their own workshops and are therefore not able to use them to their full potential. If they are wasting their workshops, then the Blacksmith's Guild needs to penalize them."

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

　Mr. Tabre stopped Mr. Gorden's intervention with his hand and continued with his words.

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

　Mr. Gorden is all smiles at the mention of the penalty, but Mr. Tabre is not taking Mr. Gorden's side, is he?

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

　I'm just explaining the natural response of the Guild of Blacksmiths.

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

　It's your business what you do with your personal belongings, but the workshop is treated in a special way in the labyrinth city, so if you are really slacking off, there will be a penalty.

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

　But if you are really slacking off, there will be a penalty for that.

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

"So, as long as I'm not wasting the workshop, there's no problem, right?

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

"That would be the case."

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

　It would be all right if the king would show a degraded version of Damascus here and then build a stuffing station, but that would keep the dissatisfaction smoldering.

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

　Many blacksmiths want to take possession of the workshop, not only Goldens, whose smiles were restored by Mr. Tabelle's words.

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

　Some blacksmiths will be dissatisfied if they misunderstand that Mel has kept the workshop because of my and the king's intervention.

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

　Even the degraded version of Damascus may be suspected that I was behind it.

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

　So I was thinking about how to get the public to recognize Mel's ability, and it is convenient that the bigwigs of the blacksmith guild have come out of the woodwork.

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

　I'm going to involve the Blacksmith's Guild itself in this.

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

　Mr. Gorden, you seem to be proud of yourself, but you're just setting the stage for Mel.

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

　He's strangling himself, but I guess Mr. Gorden and the others who are convinced that Mel is slacking off can't even imagine that .......

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

　In a way, it's very pathetic.

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

"So, how about the Blacksmith's Guild hosting a competition for Mel's workshop?"

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

　In this kind of blacksmithing issue, a tournament event is a temptation, isn't it?

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

　The bottleneck was how to organize the competition, how to manage it, how to inform the blacksmiths, and how to legitimize the competition, but it would be easy if the blacksmith guild came to the rescue.

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

　If a blacksmith guild came out, it would be easy. We could ask a blacksmith guild that has the know-how to organize it.

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

"d*mn it, you don't want to give up your workshop to us! Too bad!　We are one of the best among the younger generation. If you hold a competition, there's a good chance one of us will win!"

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

　For some reason, Mr. Gorden and his team are so proud of their victory that they are declaring themselves the winners. What are you talking about?

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

　...... Ah, I see, you misunderstood that we have given up Mel's workshop, but we are at least trying to give it to other craftsmen instead of ourselves.

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

　But we are confident in our skills and we will be the winners. You're proud of yourselves for your futile resistance.

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

　Don't worry, we're not thinking about that at all.

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

"Oh no ...... master ......"

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

　No, Mel. Why did Mel betray us?　What are you looking like?　Hey, hey, don't be mad at Meral or Merrill Serio.

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

　Sylphy, help me!

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

　Thank goodness ...... Sylphy calmed Meral and Merrill Serio down. That misunderstanding almost caused a catastrophe in the labyrinth city.

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

　Well, if it had come to that, I'm sure Sylphy and the others would have taken care of it, but I'd rather not even entertain the possibility because it would have been heartbreaking.

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

"You don't mind?　We don't have to hold a competition, we can just show the results of our workshops, right?"

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

　After all, Mr. Tabre is not a bad guy, and he tells us how to do things without having to make a big deal out of it.

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

"No, you don't have to backtrack now!"

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

　Mr. Gorden, who had been so proud of his victory, interrupts me with a panicked look on his face. He seems to be panicking that his big mouth is about to choke him.

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

　But there is no need to worry, because he has no intention of canceling the tournament.

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

　It's just an event to show Mel's skills to the blacksmiths in the labyrinth city. There is no reason to stop it.

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

　Besides, Mel can make a Damascus that is recognized by the country, even if it's a degraded version.　How could we lose?

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

　If they can achieve more than this, there is no way that they can stay in the labyrinth city where it is hard for new blacksmiths to enter.

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

　In other words, Mel is sure to win. It's just a race.

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

　Thank you so much, Mr. Gorden, for helping us to show what Mel can do.

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

　The workmanship is excellent, just look at the finish ......, but first I have to explain to Mel who is in shock at being betrayed.

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

　Why can't Mel be sure of his victory when he can build Damascus, albeit a degraded version?

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

　Mel's feeble-mindedness is giving me a bit of a headache.
