I want to protect you in this hand.

Arsh, 14, after the moon surge of 8.

Soon afterwards, Mr. Gregg and his men returned from the fifth dungeon and joined them in the fourth. I was curious about Alec, but I couldn't afford to be back in the Imperial City, because just suppressing the surge on the ground floor was a shame on the spot. Both Noah's party and Nico and Blanc came, so I thoroughly slapped the fourth dungeon with the Northern Knights, the Central Knights, and retrieved the Demon Stone.

By the time I finally got back to my normal dungeon, the second week of the eight months was about to end. A great deal of cheer greeted us when we were tired and back in the Imperial Barracks. The knights who took part watched us work nearby. We all knew who the meritorious man was this time. The tea ladies.

Nevertheless, I didn't want to stand out, I didn't want merit. It's true that you violated the authority of acting captain, and it's even more troublesome to get involved in the truth about the guild. I looked at it like Alec, and we were just talking about going to school. It's a barracks deposit until I originally went to school. The demon stone of the knocked down slime was well obtained, so redeeming it would have made well enough money.

Since the Gregs couldn't grab hold of it and it was hard to see him, I asked Mr. Jonas and Mr. Kuntz to leave the barracks and stop at Alec's to go to school, then packed my bags and went to Alec's while the three escorts spared me. How dare Alec be able to walk quite well. They were eating hard and training.

"I think it's time to go to school, because they told me to come in the third week of the month of eight"

That said, I was very sorry. Mr. Fritz,

"I'll stay in this detached house, not the barracks, so please, a little more. Once you show your face to school, wouldn't it be nice to enter the dorm for nine months critical? We still have some stories to hear."

And I'm pulling it off. We looked at each other in trouble. I don't want to stay. It's the edge of what I was able to do. But...

"I need to go to school first. My friends are waiting for me. If we can get out, we'll be back."

That's what Cyril told me. Well, I lifted my hips to go to school, and, oh, looks like a customer's here. That's right, Mr. Greg! Everybody! I wonder what's wrong. Mr. Jonas was bringing him in a little rush.

"Fritz, Alec, I'm sorry, but would you mind keeping a few guests and listening?"

"Jonas, I'm going to Karen's."

Mr Gregg is answering relaxation.

"We're going to the Dungeons of the North."

"We'll be in the Empire until Arsh and the others settle into school."

Noah and Nico also say.

"You guys! You're not even appreciating the achievements of the dungeon because you've done your guild's work! Be angry!"

Mr. Jonas was angry.

"Cyril, Arsh, Will, and Mal. Even Dan was very active in the supply unit. You're the lamb that got the surge in the first place! Not one thank you, not even a reward!

"You can't help being mad at us, Jonas. The broken guild was fixed. Causes and ways of managing them were submitted together in a report. That concludes the request."

"But!"

"If that's what you're gonna do, you haven't had this problem in the first place, have you, Jonas?"

……

"It doesn't matter to him how many achievements other than the people of the Empire have made. I thought you'd let me contribute to the Empire."

……

"I have enough problems to get sick of. But I don't have a brother-in-law to do something about it. It's the Empire that's in trouble. I don't think Merida will move again. From next year on, there will be no more adventurer assignments."

"Mr. Greg......"

"I'm full of heads about how I'm going to live with Karen. Fun newlyweds' plans."

"We were originally adventurers, so we're just going back to it."

"Neither do we. No problem."

"We're in school, too."

To suit everyone, we also said a word.

"Oh, Ash, no matter where you go with Karen, I'll be sure to contact you. Now go to school."

"Yes. Then I'm going!

"Oh, be careful."

"You're gone."

"He's gone"

Fritz answered Greg. Greg glimpsed Fritz and Alec and said:

"So, Jonas, what are your thoughts?"

"Perhaps the report stops acting captain. The surge of dungeons is in the hands of the Northern and Central Knights. That's it."

"I told you it would be fine."

"As an empire, it's a problem. Fritz."

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's call first"

Everyone sat down. Alec started talking.

"What happened after I tended to get sick and took a break from captainship"

Greg was surprised.

"You didn't let me know... you're the royal brother..."

"For the past year or so. It was whether to live or die. I didn't think it was enough to distract you."

Fritz answered. Alec continued.

"I know the surrogate had his hands on the guild. But it should have been accounted for not as an individual interest, but as an interest of the Knights"

"It doesn't matter whose interests. You mustn't get your hands on the guild in the first place."

"Why"

"Read the report. It's troublesome."

"Dear Greg, Alec is sick."

"Okay, okay, boy"

Greg started talking.

"The guild manages the dungeon. Interpret demons appropriately and stabilize dungeons. Bring in adventurers for it and let them hunt demons. Demon stones and demons are bought away so that demons are not reabsorbed. That's it."

"Oh."

"The Demon Stone is small is a deficit. But more than Medium Demon Stone is profitable, so adventurers are profitable, and the guild's income and expenses are positive."

"Right."

"But the guild must not use its plus for any purpose other than taking demon stones efficiently"

"Huh..."

"I'm dealing with all those demon stones, how much do you think the McKenney Chamber of Commerce is making? If the guild cares about it, how much money it makes."

"Sure."

"But I don't do it. So the price of Demon Stone is constant at all times. In Merida, profits are used to train adventurers and enrich guilds."

"I see."

"In the Empire, the Knights took it"

……

"Little demon stones don't buy away because they don't benefit, less adventurers because the runaway adventurers don't profit, the demons don't hunt, the dungeons overflowed because they don't hunt"

……

"The guild was consolidated within the cavaliers, and the officials who had long been gone. As a result, the guild's functionality stopped working after neglecting to take care of maintaining the guild"

……

"That makes the demon… do you still have an explanation?"

"Very well. Did you explain this to the deputy?

"I did. I just need to know how to maintain it."

"... oh my god"

"Tell you what, there's gonna be another surge like this."

Alec, uh, breathed heavily.

"What would you do with Greg?"

Greg raised only the edge of his mouth to nibble.

"Think for yourself, I hope"

"You want to tell me?

"This is what my pretty Arsh would look like."

"Cute Arsh?

"I'm replacing my father. Listen carefully."

"Let's start by raising young adventurers. At the same time, we gather motivated children from the slams of the Imperial capital to train them to carry their baggage. On the side of the dungeon, create a simple quarters and a demolition station. Spread demon skewers on the Imperial City to increase the demand for just expensive demon meat."

Greg continued, keeping the Imperial side to be taken lightly.

"If you know that if you become an adventurer, you can go alive, the young will surely gather together. Make sure you don't die in the dungeon."

"Greg, are you..."

"It's not me, I'm just saying what Arsh is going to say. I've seen Arsh since he was a little girl."

"I did. Hey, they made me a lot more impotent at the inn about everything."

"Fritz, forget the extras"

Greg said as if he was in a bit of a hurry.

"I mean, if you think about how efficient and good for everyone, you get the answer every second, Sole is the way Arsh thinks"

"I see."

"Well, here we are!

"Wait! No, wait"

"What the..."

"Two weeks, maybe two, stay here."

"No, I can't see Karen."

"You can call Karen."

"Then you can stay"

"" Mr. Greg...... "

Noah and Nico said out loud.

'Cause I'm tired.

I did stop working for a month. I don't have a choice,

When Arsh and the others reached school, Greg and the others decided to stay at Alec's mansion.
