Standing in the appraisal room is a giant demonic stone block of three columns. The only reason it's a column is because all of the demon stones we've mined are shaped close to it. It was the appraisal room that dismantled every monster and stripped the material, so it could be put out, which is already a big demon stone three times in a row.

"No, this is, uh...?

"Derris, I'm in the mood today without a pattern. Are you going to drop a spear from the sky?

Bulk's open mouth is not blocked, and Georgia is tapping lightly again. Well, for this one, I do have a feeling I got serious, too. This is rarely the result of doing everything in their power to escape Vegan Lily's hand cooking.

"There will be surprises, and I have something to say, but this guy was designated as a genuine request, a demon stone picked from" The Root of the Steel Tree ". Pick only one demon stone that I think is most valuable."

"Just one!?

"You bet. Such a brilliant magic stone, you won't see it on the market first. I'll take the other two as our share. I'm just giving you the choice, and I want you to thank me."

"Mmm, just one, or...!

"I'm relieved. This is Black Iron, this is Delis!

That's why two names mean different things. But, well, now Bulk and the other Alliance sides will do their utmost to appraise which is the most valuable Demon Stone. If you have two guild leaders, you can't make mistakes first.

"If it's big, mine's the best! Look, you're a ceiling sleaze, sleaze! Then it's worth a lot!

"The demonic stones I have found are relatively small, but no one can beat the magic I enclose! The Demon Stone shines differently!

"Mine's fairly balanced. It feels like it's there in terms of size and quality. I don't care how much time you take for the appraisal. Instead, make a decision about this one. I knew it would be a hassle later."

"" Uh-huh... "

Granddads roaring at the same time, comparing the three demonic stones from various angles. You seem to be quite troubled. Of course. These three demonic stones we dug up are, in fact, almost the same value substitute. There will be professionalism as the head of the guild, and it will not be so easy to decide.

"That said, he's always brilliant. This is difficult to attach."

"Sure. When it gets so far apart, it's just a matter of preference anymore. I don't care if they tell you to make up your mind. - Hmm? Hey, Georgia. Take a good look at the magic stones Lord Derris found."

"Take Delis'? I'd rather see what Harna and Toko found than what the belly black man found - ho?

Bulk and Georgia looked at my demon stone and began to round their eyes. Huh, have you noticed?

"I'm sorry, Toko to Harna. Foreword withdrawn. The Devil's Stone of Delis is overwhelmingly valuable"

"I agree. If you receive the best Demon Stone as an Alliance, you will collect the Demon Stone from Lord Derris."

"" What!?

Where did your confident face go earlier? The decision, which should have been almost a tie score, is overshadowed and the two are quite shocked.

"It's a shame, both of you. I enjoyed that a lot, too, and I think it's been a somewhat incandescent fight. Then give me the remains of these demonic stones and crusading monsters, and the request is to accomplish it."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! I'm not convinced yet! I demand an explanation as to how it came to be such a decision!

"I would also like to ask you from me. To be honest, I didn't think every demon stone made such a big difference."

"Well, you seem dissatisfied. Well, that would be good. Tell Grandpa Joel about it, Mr. Bulk, and explain it to the two of you."

"Why is Delis partitioning..."

"Well, if you want an explanation, I'll do whatever it takes. Ladies, take a good look at the center of this demonic stone."

"The center, is it?

In which way, Hal and the knife peek into the demon stone.

"Erm... there's a subtle mix of shadowy things, huh?

"And no heart, or like its shadow is shaped like a bone..."

"Ooh, you're right. And that's the biggest point that the shadow made a difference. You don't have to explain that the whole demon stone is glowing pale, do you? The same goes for the demon stones your ladies have put out. But Lord Derris' magic stone dwells in the center, a different shadow."

"To be specific, it's got dragon bones in it. In the middle of the Demon Stone."

"D, dragon bones!? What the hell, it's in the basement, in its soil, and even more demonic stones!?

"I can only assume that I swallowed the bones of the earth at the stage where the demon stone was formed."

"Oh, it's like a fossil made of amber. Miraculous odds."

"Is it a fossil!? That is indeed amazing!

"Needless to say, Dragon bones are excellent as a magical medium. Synergy with the demon stones around it, it exerts the power of step by step no matter what it is used for. Therefore, if it is to be accepted as our guild, it shall be the object of the request, and the magic stone of Lord Derris -"

"-But I think that's weird,"

Hal raises his hand and argues with Bisili, trying to block the language of the decision. Well, after hearing the explanations of the grandfathers in particular, did you still feel uncomfortable? The boulder is my apprentice.

"Oh, that said, my lady. No more appraisals, huh?

"No, I am not dissatisfied with Mr. Bulk and Mr. Georgia's appraisal. I don't feel wrongdoing or lying, and I think the appraisal of the Demon Stone at the moment is true."

"Mm-hmm? So what does Harna think is strange about?

Everyone's attention and gaze go to Hull.

"What I think is strange is that the demon stone found by my master is in a different state than it was at the time of discovery and now. There was absolutely no such thing as a dragon bone in the master's demon stone. I concentrated and touched the magic flow, and now I realize... Master, maybe you've processed it anew?

"Well, I thought I could embed it well so I wouldn't find out. That's pretty eye-catching, Hal."

Embedding the bones of the tall dragons that you had as ingredients for item creation in the Demon Stone is easy. Using the skills of the "Device Creation" system, I can carry out the planting without the two of you noticing.

"What!? I admitted it immediately! So, but, sir, isn't that against the rules...?

"Why would it be an anomaly? I didn't say a word about banning the processing of demon stones after discovery, did I?

"I did, I didn't say...!

"The rank of Demon Stone usually rises, so there's no way you can complain from the Alliance."

"Sure, I'm not complaining from us... Huh? What kind of situation is this?

"I knew these three were the biggest Demon Stones buried in that place, and all of them were good fights. Then it's only natural to work something out for a sure victory, right? So my victory was confirmed from the beginning! Cuckoo!"

"Ugh, rule confirmation was sweet because of the defeat... I can't believe I failed to do everything...!

"I don't really know how it happened, but I think that's probably all you can say. Derris, is that what grown-ups do?

Well, what's Grandpa Joel talking about? I guess this is the right thing to do because you're an adult. Hal, knife, it is a virtue to be innocent, but in battle you should learn to be shackled at times.
