The Guild’s Cheat Receptionist

"He's on his way here, is he?

The silent, nodding look on Mr. Ector's face is stiff.

Mr. Frank, whom I saw, continued his words instead.

"As far as the wear and tear is concerned, there is no mistake in the decision to withdraw. I just didn't expect you to track down a defeating crusader."

"Right. Dragons are a highly territorial species all in all, but they shouldn't try to get rid of their enemies until they get out of there."

"Oh...... Now it's stopped by a spinning guilder from Halville, but as soon as he leaves, he's moving toward Luneville."

It hurts that I didn't see it properly in the escape from reality. If this is the case, it's not just the rescuers, but we'll take a good [Chiriko] look at this one...

"I'll tell you why, I brought back eggs like the old Fei Long,"

"Yes... right"

To be honest, that would have been better if you had an easily understandable motive for eggs.

Even if it wasn't offensive, if it's true that Ice Dragon did harm to people, it's also true that it was people who got their hands on it first. There's a responsibility on either side, and neither.

Only that I'm wrong to stop unilaterally, I know.

Intervals wrapped in more severe air because of what I had in mind.

A knock breaking that silence sounded indoors.

It was the Putin butler, Mr. Fabio, who came into the room with Mr. Ector's permission.

"Dear Ektor, Communication and completion of evacuation recommendations to relevant locations."

"Thanks.... how'd it go?

To her husband's inquiry, Mr. Fabio lays down his eyes with a hard expression.

"... not fragrant"

It's not fragrant, which means you're not trying to evade.

"Are you better off coming from Wang Du?

"No, Master Ilia. They are more aggressive in evacuation. Nevertheless, I know many of the crusaders, so it seems that the inhabitants of Luneville are not turning away from the dangers of ice dragons either"

I didn't know what to do anymore.

Even if it's a shame to let go of the reborn Lüneville, it's a species with life. It wasn't decided that the city would be destroyed, and there's a possibility that it would just pass.

At any rate, if you're not really losing your sense of crisis, only someone at a glance would be able to convince you that you confronted Ice Dragon directly.

"Where are the wounded now?

"They say the convoy's out of Willville, so they'll be there tomorrow"

"Really...... Have you been to other cities yet if you've been reporting?

Oh, and Mr. Ector agreed.

"We've got a liaison to the king. He's headed to Belune, so he'll be back in the branch tomorrow"

"You know them well, too."

Too many thoughts to identify, but if you know someone, it's convenient to listen to them.

Securing the guilders around the escort to set up the situation of supplies, the final line to start forced evacuation.

By the time I had finished all the discussion and returned to the branch, the sky had begun to diminish with a decrease in photons.

I met Mr. Cecilita and Mr. Liddy on that side of the road. Looks like you two came out of the branch, but you weren't supposed to be in the kitchen shift today.

Mr Fabio was right, I could not feel anything like fear or impatience from the two of us.

"Ilia, have you been to the lord?

"Yes. Are you two ready for evacuation?

I blinked my eyes a little while ago. Mr. Liddy smiles flamboyantly.

"I don't like it, Ilia. If we run away, who's gonna make my husband a mess?

"… is it"

"... hehe. You don't have to worry so much, if it gets really dangerous, you'll get away with it."

[Scam] If you have the skills, you can perceive the credibility of the word. But I don't know how serious you two are when you look at the look on your faces because there's nothing like that.

They keep smiling at me like that, and they keep saying things.

"Everyone in the city just went to the branch and we were talking about what we were going to do."

"So, we collected the money and made an extra request."

"Request, is it"

Yeah, and the two snort.

And with an unmistakable look,

"Ice Dragon Crusade."

I said.

"Um... how can you be that far?

Crusading the God Beast designated for a natural disaster is something to be considered in cooperation with branches that cross states and guild headquarters.

By the time I got here, I had seen people hit by disaster, and even then, because it was ancestral land, if I sacrificed myself, there were people who wouldn't even try to escape.

But what was in those people's eyes was just stubbornness and giving up.

What resides in the eyes of the two people now in front of me was something similar to hope.

I couldn't figure out why, and I was asking unexpectedly, and the two of them give me back the same grin.

"It's decided, isn't it?

"Everybody loves it here."

... Oh well.

That's right.

I forgot. I mean, I felt reminded again.

With me and these people who just got mixed up, it weighs different when I say I like this city. Different depth.

"Then you have no choice."

Love weighs differently.

Different depth of thought.

So it would be a mistake for me to say this about everyone's resolve.

"Yeah. Exactly. Maybe Ilia can't stop you just this time"

"I'm sorry."

I think it's not a rejection, it's a determination after you accept it.

So I shake my head sideways.

"I won't stop you."

"Huh? Is that true?

"Yes, I won't stop you if everyone in the city wants you to."

If that's everyone's will, I'm not going to deny it.

... but the weight and depth were different, so it doesn't change the desire to be alive.

"Because I like this city and all of you."

So sorry, I don't even know your name, Ice Dragon.

Ice Dragon Crusade.

That's the request that everyone in the city sent to the branch this time, so I'll support it.

The next day.

It was an unexpected person that I was walking down the stairs trying to confirm the assembled personnel.

"Ilia!"

A woman holding me. He's swinging his fluffy long tail all the way through a thousand cuts.

I was surprised by the boulder because she wasn't the person to do that to me.

"Kati...... why"

I just got home from Bellune.

Belune.

I heard it yesterday, Mr. Ector's words passed the back of his brain.

"Maybe you were the one who reported it?

"Yes. Bardo is with me. Come."

It was a private room upstairs that was taken while being pulled.

Inside, Mr. Bardo sat in a chair in a grumpy mood.

"It's been a while, Mr. Bardo. You're both safe, more than anything."

"... nothing"

As I wondered about Mr. Bardo, who had become more heartless than before, Kati, who smiled bitterly, explained.

"We really wanted to come back for the Ice Dragon Crusade as a souvenir. But I'm shy because I failed."

"Ba, don't say anything unnecessary! Um... I was just trying to make some money! Don't get me wrong!

Somehow, I had myself being careless but just having a little fun.

"Souvenirs and nothing. If you two are safe, that's all that matters."

"Ilia......"

Kati stared at me and Mr. Bardo turned me away.

I feel like I'm being more extreme in my liking, but if I care, I'll lose.

"What are you two going to do now?

"You got another crusade request, didn't you? I'll join you."

"I'll be in trouble when Luneville's gone"

"Trouble, is it?

I wondered if I would even base it, but that guess was denied by her.

"Yeah. I want to work here again"

"... you don't have enough people anyway"

"Baldo is not honest"

"Ugh."

I'm certainly not staffed enough, and I might be busier from now on.

But sweet.

"Now you'll take your exams properly, won't you?

"Whew..."

"... in Conne"

I know my personality, and I'm an experienced and instant fighter, so I'm definitely hiring.

I don't think it's gonna be good for both of us to spoil it like that.

"Win your place on your own"

Once again, the hall of the branch headed was filled with guilders who had volunteered as Second Crusaders.

Starting with the "Ethereal Sword" and "Zhu's Twin Swords", which had returned after completing the rescue team's request, it can be said that a considerable number of powerful men were assembled in the first line.

Those who usually drank for me as regular members of the branch also had a tense and majestic look. I wish I had done that all the time.

"I would like to begin by thanking all those gathered"

"Pi."

The tension in the hall can be slightly relieved by a hack that similarly lowers its head on the counter.

"In this crusade, I propose measures that I devised, with wonder. I'm sorry, but if you have no objection to that measure, you are invited to join us as a Second Crusader, and if you are going with your own proposal, you are invited to go to the Third -"

"Don't say that now, Ilaria."

"Yes, yes. Ilya smells like water, too."

A voice came up from somewhere else, and when I looked around, everyone had the same look on me.

Hey... I have trouble being trusted that way...

Do I have to brace my stomach?

"Thank you. So here's what to do, but this time we'll forget the brackets about the party"

A good number of people come up with a surprising look.

Yes. In this world, there was no organized battle for the division of roles by profession, although there would be collaboration within each party or for the parties to work together to hit the battle.

There was also a guild system that valued “pieces” differently from the military, with 5 + 6 + 4 being only 5 + 6 + 4, and not 8 + 4 + 3 or 11 + 4, let alone 15.

"First, you will be divided into roles written here"

Usually a bulletin board with a requisition form on it. Now it moves in front of the counter, with two sheets of paper affixed.

One is a proposed organization.

Who can use the magic of fire. Someone who can use intermediate or higher defensive magic. Who can handle shields. Those in charge of direct attacks. who are confident in the speed at which they run.

Each of these is assigned an ABCDE. All letters will be converted to this one, so no problem.

"Explain the role in exchange for countermeasures"

Second, I refer to the teaching whip on a simplified drawing of a dragon.

"First, stand by to deploy forward outside the ice dragon's interval. Shooting fire magic will not only efficiently deal damage, but the depleting ice dragon will descend to the ground reluctant to disrupt the airflow. So stay close with the formation there. In doing so, Ice Dragons throw up braces to sweep them away, but with intermediate defensive witchcraft you can prevent them if they are to the extent of a widely scattered brace. So the avant-garde of the deployed formation will have a b"

In a few stirrings, one raises his hand and speaks.

"What are we going to do when an attack comes other than brace?

"It's a formation to induce an attack method… to limit it.

If it unfolds in all directions, it will set up a blizzard, and if it is too solidified, it will be skewered with Graciellance.

The former is not allowed because everyone will be forced to defend themselves, and they will be restricted in sight. If it is the latter, you can perform similar tactics in advanced magic, but holding the braces is in the long post-attack tame.

Blizzard and Graciellance are the magic of interfering with natural factors, so the Ice Dragon itself can quickly move on to the next action. The braces, on the other hand, exhale the ice that binds the factors and magic vegetables in the body, so it takes a few seconds, albeit seconds, to strangle or re-bind them in the body to repeat again.

You also have to posture to move your body after you have finished throwing up, and there are gaps in the interference transition from your body to your body to activate magic.

We need you all to approach that gap. "

But they're not the only weapons.

I concur with the raised opinion and refer again to the diagram.

"That's where B and C come in. D, with B and C consolidating their sides, enters the front while launching a long-range attack by A. The tweezers by the tail or the claws on the front leg are defended by B and C on the attacked side, in the meantime packing and attacking the intermission, all aimed at the corner if possible. Oh, instead of taking the shield, weigh in on the point of passing it upwards. It doesn't blow your body apart."

Several people smile bitterly.

It's like the fate of shield gear to feel the shock and the pain.

And so my voice rose.

"Horns? Not eyes?

"Yes. Targeting your eyes first is fundamental to the crusade, but in this case you may forget, and I'll explain why later. Explain why you aim for the horn first, because the horn for the ice dragon acts like a wand for a magician."

Its role is to exercise magic more efficiently and smoothly. And it's a boost to power. This neighborhood is common sense for what belongs to the guild, so skip the explanation.

"If you can break the two corners, you can prevent the attack from concentrating by continuing to inflict it without relaxation, and you can exceptionally inhibit the surgical attack"

"What does that last one do?

"E's role is to stir and positively. Here's the story of the eye that came out earlier, do you know how Ice Dragon is supplementing his enemies in the snowstorm he caused himself? Yes, Mr. Bardo."

"Ah!? What, uh... smell, or something?

"It's a hassle"

I'm going to regret it, Mr. Bardo. Thanks for the answer as expected.

I thought you would remember Boa's advice before.

"But it's basically no different from dealing with it like a bore system that captures enemies with its smell.... Ice Dragons can capture enemies even in poor vision because they are sensing body temperature. So for E, I'd like you to restrain or direct the movement of the ice dragon with a dummy from the calculus of fire."

Place a fake heat source in the position you want to attack to make it easier to defend or dodge an attack, or divert attention by throwing it.

We're all amateurs who have to explain everything from one to ten, so we won't need explanations around here either.

"If you didn't break the corner, you want to see and decide how many people each share the formation after you break the corner. In light of the above, forget about your role in the party and split it into the roles that you would best stand around. If anyone is lost, I will sort it out."

A token at the same time as I finish saying it.

Move it out of the way to signal.

"Pi......"

He grabbed the hack licking his hand and thanked him as he stroked his head.

It's okay, I don't regret it. Besides, you will definitely protect me.

To those who have consulted roles, [God's Eye] confirmed and assigned their status and skills. If I had the time, I would have liked to allocate it potentially appropriate and train to improve my skills, but we're not in the military.

That's how I decided on the overall conductor and the leader of each detachment after I broke the corner and completed the order registration with everyone's approval.

"I will now give you my registration card back. Please join us at the North Gate as the" Pastoral Wheels "will accompany the delivery of supplies when you leave.... good luck."

"Let's go, wow!

"" "" "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

Thus the Second Ice Dragon Crusader set off.

I didn't want you to be alarmed, so I didn't tell him about the exhaustion of the ice dragon I was checking with [Chirii Eye] or the fact that I was injuring one eye and one arm. I don't know if that thing worked, but with good tension, they were able to enter the fight and accomplish their request.

The battle itself has largely turned out to be the result of the operation I set up. Separate teams joining us from other cities along the way confused us, but in the end it didn't affect a lot of people.

No, it's not surprising that the operation passes because it also benefits from the [leadership] skills that Mr. Farade, who has appointed him commander, should be pleased with.

But when something happens in the future, I don't want to shake it again.

"Pi......?

"Yeah, it's nothing."

"Pi!"

Yes. I can't help but say it.

This is my decision.

It's a really selfish story... because if it breaks here, I don't think you deserve to be resented by Ice Dragon either.

"Ilia, I'd like to take this request."

"I'm in awe. Please show your registration card."

Also today, I will be doing reception work.
