After breakfast, Lionel, who was the only one who wasn't surprised by the changes in the basement, came to visit me in the guildmaster's room to ask Doran to make armor.

''Why did you ask for a training ground on your own first, rather than making armor? It's about half the size of the Adventurer's Guild, but if you're going to carve up to the warding magic circle, isn't it strange that you haven't reported to me?

　I don't yell. I yell because it takes a lot of energy to yell.
　Yelling at someone, especially an older person, is likely to have the worst possible outcome.
　You run the risk of losing zero trust and credibility.
　So when you're angry, it's more effective to listen to what's wrong and fill in the blanks one by one.
　Of course, if you don't understand something until you say it over and over again, your level of anger will gradually increase.
Since this was the first time, I decided to talk to him calmly.

'You were right. I've mimicked it too much.
　Lionel admitted his disapproval and lowered his head. It would be self-satisfying for us to blame him further, so I'll stop.

''Please be careful in the future. It is true that you are young and unreliable, but if you have any suggestions, I will consider them properly. So, do you have anything to report from your night security?
　The senior staff said it's no good to penalize them from the start because it's also demoralizing. So I changed the subject and listened to the report.

'It was. There were zero attacks, there were signs, but as expected, the number of guards was so large that they seemed to have retreated. The crime slaves also said that they were all people who could be quite useful if trained, and that they had no complaints about their treatment. And then... apparently they weren't cats called Shazza or something like that, but a bit of a mess from the Medicine Guild.

　You know, I didn't hear from the attacker because I was so out of the loop.

'Thanks Lionel. I've missed talking to them. ...I've been wondering since yesterday, who is Lionel?
　I finally decided to ask.

'Huh...I have only been in a slightly higher position in a country. Now I am a slave, and in my heart I intend to be a vassal of Lord Luciel.
　When he said that, his eyes seemed to speak his mind. I'm sure he couldn't tell me much more than that. I've given up on the idea of finding out who he is this time.

'Huh, fine. If you decide it's okay to tell me, please let me know. As for the making of the armor, there are materials involved, so please consult with Doran. Well, it won't be possible right away, so I'll lend you my master's sword as it is. Lionel, you'll be in charge of gathering the slaves and defending the Healers' Guild. And I'll leave you in charge of guarding the guild when I'm out.

'Ha! Yes, sir.
　He put his hand on his chest and bowed, then turned on his heel and walked out of the room.

　I decided to get out a bunch of parchment and gather up what I needed to do.
　Rebuilding the Healer's Guild.
　Maintaining the security of the Healers' Guild
　Acceptance of patients and establishment of a healing center
　Food
　The Medicine Men's Guild.
　Survey of the situation in Yenis, including Shazza

There are ways to increase your name value in one fell swoop, but I definitely don't want to use them.
　In the morning I wrote a letter to my master and made a sign for the Healer's Guild with my healer's men.
　When I finished making lunch, Lionel got up, so we all ate together.
　In the afternoon, I left the crime slaves in charge of Jordo-san and decided to head to the Adventurer's Guild with Lionel, Ketty, and Piazza-san, a priest knight, just like yesterday.

''We decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild and give a demonstration. This is because healing magic doesn't seem to be common, and if it's not even known to work, I wouldn't come to the Healers Guild on purpose.
That's a good idea.
I think it's a good idea as well, because if we can segregate ourselves from the Medicine Master's Guild, there won't be any trouble.
...we'll escort you to wherever you're going.
'First, get to know the healers. Next, check out the Medicine Master's Guild, and on the way back, we'll do some more shopping before we return.

　Each of the three replied and headed to the Adventurer's Guild.


　The Adventurer's Guild in Yenis was different from the Holy City and Meratni, most of the adventurers were not of the human race, but other races.

''As expected, even the construction of the guild is the same. Then follow me to the counter.''
　I said and walked off to the counter. I don't care how people look at me, I'm an adventurer too.

''It's nice to meet you, my name is Luciel, the head of the Healer's Guild, an S-class healer and adventurer. May I meet the guild master?
　I presented my healer card and adventurer card to the receptionist. The receptionist was a cat-beast man, but he wasn't like Ketty.
'You must be Luciel-sama, right? .........I'll get the guildmaster to make arrangements for you, so please be patient.
　She said, then bowed and left the room.

''Well why does Ketty have a meow or nyan at the end of the word?''
　Ketty chuckled when I asked her a simple question.
'I was taught that you're prettier that way, Nyan.
I see.
　His gaze was focused, but he didn't feel anything close to a killing spirit, perhaps because he wasn't alone after all.

''The Guildmaster will be meeting with you, please come this way.
　The receptionist came back and told us so, and we followed the directions to the guildmaster's room.
''The guildmaster here is properly in the guildmaster's room, right?''
　She obviously got upset when I asked her that while I was moving.
'I don't really care, but if I'm lying, I might just dump object X on the receptionist. About ten barrels...
　She laughed and said that, and on the landing of the stairs, she stopped dead in her tracks.
''Well we're heading to the Guildmaster's room now, but the one we'll be meeting with is the Deputy Guildmaster, Gaius-sama.
　I ask further while gaining a newfound understanding of how Object X can be used as a threatening tool for the beastmen.
'Where is the Guildmaster and why is the Deputy Guildmaster meeting with me?

'I don't know where the Guildmaster is. Nor do I know the reason for your meeting...
　She shakes her head. Looking at Lionel, it doesn't seem to be a lie that he shook his head too.
'I understand. Don't worry, I won't blurt it out.
　She looked very relieved and started up the stairs again.


　A knock on the door gave her permission to enter the room and the receptionist opened the door for her and she entered the guild master's room.
　It was the first dragonborn and Sharza there.
　Shazza froze when he saw Lionel, but for some reason, Ryujin froze when he saw me.

''I'm Luciel, the head of the Healer's Guild, an S-class healer and adventurer. Thank you for meeting the guild master. It's been a while since I saw you yesterday, hasn't it?
　I smile amiably and call out to him.
'Wow, I'm not a guildmaster. I'm the Deputy Guildmaster, Gaius. It's a pleasure to meet you.
　He stood up immediately from his chair, bowed his head and spoke up. His voice sounded nervous.
　Shazza seemed surprised by the Deputy Guildmaster's actions.

''I see. Then, Gaius-sama, where is the Guildmaster?''
'Yes, sir. We believe they have gone to the labyrinth that is currently active and are fighting.
''No matter how strong the Guildmaster is, wouldn't it be weird for him to make his own move?''
"Yes. But I don't think we can capture it without my brother going there, so...
　The guild here is headed by the dragon brothers, right?

''I see. We were hoping that you would help us demonstrate the Healer's Guild in the Adventurer's Guild this time, but it's very disappointing.

''What do you mean by demonstration?''

''This Yenis may know about the existence of recovery magic, but many of you may not know what it actually does. That's why I want to demonstrate the recovery magic once so that you can see what the Healer's Guild's recovery magic is all about.

''So what is the Adventurer's Guild to do?''

'Gather the injured in the training area below. You will experience the Healer's Guild's healing for free. Ah, this will be the original price list.
　I handed the booklet of guidelines and rules to Lord Gaius.
''As you know, the healers' recovery magic cannot cure diseases. Still, I want the adventurers who make their living fighting and this land of Yenis to know why the Healer's Guild continues to exist.
　Lord Gaius listened to me and then stared at the fee section of the guidelines.
　I said what I wanted to say. Talking more would be counterproductive, so I wait for his response.

　Shazza just stared at Lionel and didn't utter a word. No, he is trying to confirm the true intentions of Gaius-dono, but is he in such a state that he can't listen to it?
Okay. ...Would this time tomorrow work for you?
Yes. Yes, thank you. We were hoping to reduce the mortality rate of the adventurers as much as possible, so the sooner we get there, the better for us.
By the way, can anyone use this magic that can also cure petrification and neurotoxins?
No, there are only a handful of healers. The others are not yet available. There are several healers who may be available soon.
　Yes. I have Jord-san and the others use their magic as much as possible. So it's no wonder that their holy attribute magic has improved in skill.
''........Then I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at the underground training ground.
It's nice to meet you, too.
　Me and Lord Gyas shook hands with each other.

　And just before we left the Guildmaster's room, Lionel opened his mouth.
''Sharza-dono, yesterday's hand drill was at the Medicine Master's Guild. I'll report it to you in case you need it.
　We left the Guildmaster's room without even hearing that response.
　In my mind, why was Lord Gaius so friendly? It stuck in his mind, but he left the guild and headed for shopping.



　Meanwhile, in the guild master's room, Shaza was questioning Gaius about what he was talking about.

''Gaius-dono, you're talking about something else! Why on earth would you want that young man from the Healers' Guild? .....
　Shazza held his tongue in surprise when Jaius looked at him with those murderous eyes.
'Shazza, you think that man is just a brat? You, did you think that we, the dragon race, who worship the dragon race, would show disrespect to the one who has the blessing of the dragon race?
　Gaius was furious.

　To the dragon race, the blessing of the dragon race was as strong in faith as, or even more so than, the Lord God Klaia.
　The dragon race could sense whatever race possessed the blessings of the dragon race, even if it was a race.
　Luciel was the fifth 'one with blessings' that Gaius had seen so far since he was born.
　He was also the first one outside of the dragon race to have a blessing.
　Gaius was being driven into a critical situation due to the increasing activity of the labyrinth, and the dragon race-sama was offering a helping hand to his brothers.
　He had a premonition of such a feeling.
　Unbeknownst to Luciel, once again his great fortune was being demonstrated, but he didn't know this yet.

　Shazza was scared of Jaius and was angry that the Medicine Guild was acting on its own.
(All these people keep interfering with people! (We'll see.)
　The frustration of not getting it right was slowly staining Shazza's heart with hatred.
