Many guild members were gathered in the [All-Grand] large hall.
From what I've seen, there will be about 80% of the total.
The remaining 20% are members who are attacking the dungeon or away from the capital.
It was fixed time and Cain appeared on the stage.
We were also hiding over the curtains by the stage and asking how they were doing.
Cain is dressed in new gear and I expect he cares a lot about it.
The guild members who saw Cain looking healthy raised their joy.
"You're finally home!!
"Master, I've been waiting for you!!
The finger whistle was also ringing, and the great hall was instantly turning into a festival.
"You guys, you kept me waiting"
Cain spoke over the loud tool Mike.
Cain's voice color also plays more than usual, so I'm sure he's happy to be back.
Cain's words had made the venue even more exciting and was finally beginning to make it impossible to clean up.
"Shut up, you guys!! You're too noisy to talk to your master!!! I have an important report from my master. I can understand how happy you are, but now shut up and listen to me."
The squad I saw used another microphone to silence the guild members.
Alliance members, who had been told they were in therapy for injuries, thought Cain had returned from the injury.
But knowing that there was something behind it, he shut his mouth in turn from those who were interested.
And three minutes later, the venue was regaining its silence.
Cain finally starts talking in that situation.
"It's true they raided the guild conference first. I was then..."
Cain tells the truth as he follows the order.
I was at the scene of the raid on Siphon the other day.
Moreover, Hans, who had entrusted the acting Alliance Master while he was away, did something unscrupulous and, knowing that he had discredited the Alliance, was unable to move until today.
After I told you everything, I honestly apologized.
As a supplement, we decided to keep our mouths shut because Remilia's membership in the [black market] is also related to the survival of the [all-grand].
"Well... that's the thing. The cause of the slander you've been exposed to is on me, who appointed Hans. I'm so sorry. To take responsibility I resign from the Alliance Master!! I'm leaving the future to Squad. I want you to defend your guild with the squad."
Cain apologizes and opens his head deeply to the Alliance members.
The Great Hall was surrounded by silence.
Near me, Squad was silently watching, but he also looked like he was laughing strangely.
"Squad, what are you laughing at at at a time like this?
"Hey, can we ever see that gorilla bowing its head once in a lifetime? That's funny."
"You're the next Gilmouth, aren't you? You're more serious."
"You idiot. I'm not interested in anything but dungeons. You don't seem to understand. What makes you think this [All-grand] has grown into the nation's best guild? Shut up and watch. 'Cause something funny's gonna happen soon."
"Funny thing!?
The squad was delighted to hold his finger on the stage.
When I turn my gaze on the stage too, I start to hear a little bit from the silence.
"Don't run away!! If you quit, it won't be over."
"What a worthless [all-grand] lack of a master!!
"I joined this guild admiring my master. Take that responsibility!
"I won't admit it. If you're quitting for responsibility, work for the Alliance!!
"Right!!
Cursing began to occur from all over there against resignation.
"You guys..."
It also looked like tears were coming up in Cain's eyes.
"Stop it!!
"You're the only one who can pull us off."
"Don't go anywhere."
Cain kept his mouth shut at first, but gradually his body began to tremble.
And when I lifted my head, which I was lowering, I was back to my usual cain.
"If you say so much. I don't have a choice. I will stop resigning from the Alliance Master!!
"Ohhhhhhh!!
The venue was engulfed with great cheer.
Cain lay more words on track.
"Oh, I've decided. I hereby swear my SS dungeon offense to regain my [All-Grand] fame. Of course, I myself dive into the dungeon and take command. And I will attack you, so shut up and follow me. No, no, no!
"Ohhhhh!
I should have started at the apology rally, but at some point it turned into a resolution rally.
Squad has spoken to me with a proud face.
"That's why I told you. It looks like that, but he has a lot of hope. Many of the adventurers who come into [All Grand] admire Cain. I thought it wouldn't be easy for you to quit."
"I was surprised that it was so popular with that muscle gorilla. Aren't the members of the guild mistaken this place for a [spectacle hut] or something?
Anyway, good.
This will fit everything well.
That's what I felt then.
After that, after the rally, I received the promised [Elixir] from Cain.
"There you go. This is Elixir."
I catch the [Elixir] thrown out of the Alliance's hidden safe in a hurry.
"You idiot. What are you going to do if you missed it and dropped it!! I'm sorry it's so stylish."
"Gahahaha. Because you were laughing at me on the stage, that payback you idiot!!
Cain laughs lightly. I don't see any shards of malice in that smile either.
"Elixir did receive"
Elixir in a translucent, luxuriously decorated vial was glowing.
"You heard what I just said, didn't you? I'm seriously going to challenge the SS dungeon offense. Well, I retired from active duty for a little while, so I'll have to rehab and attack some dungeons."
"I heard that. You could attack an SS dungeon."
"No, I can't do it alone. Label, then I'll ask you to join me."
"What are you talking about? We're different guilds, aren't we? You won't be able to say [All-grand] solo attack when you attack."
"I don't need a title like that. You know best that SS dungeons aren't that easy, right?
Surely not if you want to attack an SS class dungeon, you have to do everything you can to get there.
"... well, think about it"
"If your people were empowered by that time, they'd like to join us. I'll leave that decision to you, the label. Let's smash an SS dungeon together."
Cain's words had the power to attract people.
I'm fascinated by that power, and I guess the guild members are following Cain as well.
"I'll think about it when the time comes. We're only attacking C-level dungeons, so we can't challenge SS dungeons."
"Then attack the S-class dungeon as soon as possible. You should be able to do it."
"annoying, fucking gorilla. You're buying me too much."
"Anyway, after putting Alliance operations back on track, I think we'll be a year or two ahead of us, considering my rehab. By then, you will be pursuing an S-level dungeon offense."
"I can't promise you!!
With that said, we broke up, and I took Lion, Dan, and Lindbergh back to the guild home.
Back at Alliance Home, I asked Lindbergh to take my seat off,
I only taught Lion and Dan where Elixir was stashed.
"Can you tell us?
"Naturally, right? You are my trusted companions. Remember Elixir's stash, too. You know how Elixir works, don't you? If there is a time when I really wish to help someone, I will contend for a moment. You can use the elixir without hesitation."
"But Elixir is a precious item that can't be substituted for money!!
"Sure, but people's lives can't replace money, either, can they? Then we're together."
"Lyonne, you're thinking too much"
Dan was laughing.
"Oh, Dan always says all the weather he can do!!
Lion was stubborn, but laughed quickly.
"Well, we've got a paragraph on this, too. Today is also the anniversary of Lindbergh joining us, and let's all go for dinner. You guys need to communicate and keep an eye on Lindbergh. Not a bad guy as far as I know."
"Here's the rice I did. Me, good meat."
"If Dan. But sometimes it's good."
We rendezvoused with Lindbergh waiting outside for a street lined with many restaurants.
At the same time, an urgent communication had been received from Squad that [Hans had escaped].
Naturally, I can't possibly know Hans escaped.
That's when I couldn't even imagine the chills I felt when I broke up with Hans becoming reality so quickly.
