Lucius was visiting luxury restaurants for wealthy people.

This was used as a place for the city's bourgeoisie and big merchants to hold secret talks and large business deals.

(Totally. What the hell is this busy time for? I would have just explained the future business plan)

Lucius had been called to this place by a banker, one of the investors in The Golden Eagle.

When Lucius entered the store, a banker who had already come to the store was just smoking a cigar.

"I'm sorry. I seem to have kept you waiting."

"No, no, I'm entertaining you first. Let's move on to business."

The banker pressed the cigar against the ashtray.

"What?

Lucius was stunned by the brutal circular poked by today's bankers.

The banker keeps looking at Lucius without moving one eyebrow and sitting deep in his chair.

"He wants to raise funds from The Golden Eagle this season only... No! Why is that? How the hell could this be the right time..."

"It's easy. 'Cause I'm no longer attracted to your business."

The banker said as he slowed down the cigar smoke.

Purple smoke can stand indoors.

"No... wait. I did lag behind The Guardian of the Magic Tree this month. But we're still better up there in overall strength. Give me another chance..."

"Appraiser Loran......"

The banker told me to squeal.

Lucius stretches his face.

"Be the only S-class appraiser in this city and a nurturing specialist. He has trained a number of adventurers in The Golden Eagle. I'm sorry, but let me look into it. Isn't he the one who raised Jill and Dowin? Alik and Sebasta also show signs of being coached by him. Since you and Loran joined The Golden Eagle again, The Golden Eagle has grown rapidly. I would say meritorious. Nevertheless, Loran has somehow been banished the other day from the 'Golden Eagle'. With no other hand. [M] And now he's hired by The Guardian of the Magic Tree as his special adviser. At the same time he joined, The Guardian of the Magic Tree attacked two dungeons and produced a Class A Adventurer. Meanwhile, the 'Golden Eagle' stopped promoting its members, taking two dungeons to rivals"

"I mean, is this what you want to say?" The Golden Eagle "became the city's best guild, he said, in Loran's hands. I said I was just incompetent on Loran's accomplishments."

"No, no, I'm not going to say that much. However, appraiser Loran, wasn't it a mistake from a management point of view to deport him?

……

"Wasn't Loran one of the drivers of your ascension as guild leader, comrade, or even your best friend? Why did you banish him?

……

"Well, if you don't want to answer, that's fine. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to keep investing in your business any more. Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Wait!

Lucius grabbed the banker's hand trying to leave with the receipt.

"We're not done yet."

"I have nothing to talk to you about..."

"I have it"

The banker became frightened by Lucius' desperate sword curtain.

"Can you sit back, please?

The banker had to stop and took his seat again.

"Indeed, Loran may have been somewhat involved in the development of Class A adventurers. But that's why you say what? No matter how much he raised Dawyn for the A-Class Adventurer and his candidates, Alik and Sebasta and Jill, they're in my hands now."

……

"That's right. If he's going to raise an A-class adventurer, we just have to buy it up. The 'Golden Eagle' is still better in terms of financial power. If we pull through those three guys who played a leading role in this dungeon offense, we can once again take advantage."

"Hmm. I see. That could be true. But then why don't we just pull through Loran? Doesn't it make sense to dare keep Lorraine in the Guardian of the Magic Tree?

"Yes, you can't. It is! That makes no sense. It makes sense to keep Lorraine in the Guardian of the Magic Tree and keep the cost of nurturing her in place of the Guardian of the Magic Tree."

……

"If you call him back, that's the only ridiculous cost. Yes. Yes. Yes, it was. In the end, I banished him because it would cost a lot less than what I had achieved. You can't run a guild if you're paying him what he wants. You don't know. While Jill and Dowin show up at the headlines, how much money wasted has been trapped by the unproductive new adventurers! You must be doing the same thing in The Guardian of the Magic Tree."

"Hmm. Really?

"Yeah, that's right. The guy in question poured a lot of money into the rookie and just happened to pick up the bud. It's not profitable to do that."

"Hmm. Well, I'll take care of it if you say so..."

"Excuse me. Guild Length"

Deanna came as they spoke and whispered something in Lucius's ear.

"What? Is that true?

Lucius opens his eyes in amazement.

"Yeah, it's solid information."

"What's wrong with you?

The banker asked in surprise.

"No, it's no big deal."

Lucius smiled nicely and smiled to show.

But inside, I was in a complete hurry.

"For now, that's the end of the story. So you're glad? Now if you'll excuse me, I have something for you."

Lucius left Soxoxa and the store behind when he took his seat.

Discuss what Deanna and I have been hearing since we got to a place where bankers can't hear us.

"I ask you again, is the story true now? I can't believe Sebasta left the city after a violent incident..."

"Yeah, the police are coming to the guild, too. He wants to hear the circumstances."

(Chi. Sebasta guy. Trouble annoying my hand when this one's in trouble)

As soon as Lucius returned to the headquarters of the 'Golden Eagle', he had to make a statement to those involved.

That Sebasta and The Golden Eagle have dissolved their contractual relationship and no longer have any relationship whatsoever.

That the violence and the 'Golden Eagle' therefore have nothing to do with it.

Lucius was forced to run to extinguish the incident for a few days.

(Yeah, he always said he was in my way. on getting it...... if you don't succeed in pulling it out at all costs)

In the lobby of the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" headquarters, members were waiting.

Everyone glances at the entrance with chills in a restless manner while standing in the lobby, checking out visitors.

And finally, the person I was looking for arrived.

It was Loran.

"Oh, it's Mr. Loran."

"Mr. Loran. Good morning."

Loran was neglected and surrounded by members of the Alliance.

"Mr. Loran. Please also test my skills"

"Mr. Loran. Give me some advice too."

Everyone was just trying to connect with Loran here.

Because if you can get into him at any rate, it will pave the way for a class A adventurer.

"Wow, wait a minute. I have to go to work first..."

They wouldn't back off if Loran said so.

"Please. Because I'm sure you'll find some good skills."

"Is it true that a new unit will be created? If so, let me in, too. I'm sure it will help!

"Sorry. I have a meeting. I'll get back to you about each skill appraisal and development plan."

That's what Loran said and managed to shake them off.

Three people, Monica, Shakuma and Uffine, watched how it went from the corner of the lobby.

"Very popular, Mr. Loran."

said Uffine as he put his arms together.

"Naturally. In fact, thanks to Mr. Loran, we've been promoted."

Shakuma said proudly.

"Yeah, there's been a lot of help in terms of troop operations. I need you to continue to teach me."

"Huh."

Monica took a huge sigh next to the two of them.

"What's wrong, Monica?

Uffine looks at Monica strangely.

"Nothing. No. Nothing."

That's what she said, nagging and unfaithful.

"Really? I hope so..."

"Ah, this is already the time. My guild tells me I have to work for PR."

I said as I looked at the clock Shakuma hung on the wall.

"Oh, I was told to have an interview with a newspaper or something today, too. Monica, what about you?

"I plan on getting the painter to paint too..."

"All three of you, then, separately. I'll see you at lunch."

"Yeah. Right."

Monica nodded, breaking up with them.

"What's wrong with that girl?

"Come on?"

There is no other Monica sinking, that was yesterday's event.

Lorraine and Lillianne came to work for the Alliance.

The two houses are supposed to be in separate directions.

The two called each other "Lillii" and "Loran" and seemed to get along well.

Seeing that, Monica completely guessed what was going on between them.

She realized it was over before the pale thoughts that were sprouting in her.

(That's right. Mr. Lillianne, it's beautiful. He's smart. People like Mr. Loran can tell beautiful people as much as they want, right? Ha)

She had more than just a boss sentiment for Loran, who was gentle and harsh with herself.

(I thought you were this guy too. But it wasn't...)

Where no one had seen her, she snuck in tears.

Though I recovered overnight, the problem was that Loran would continue to be my own boss.

I get a prolonged flicker in front of me about what I can't get.

It couldn't have been harder.

When she thought of it, she became depressed in response.

(Huh. I don't know if I should quit being an adventurer anymore)

In the training room of The Guardian of the Magic Tree, Loran was checking the skills and status of the three Monicas.

"All right. You've got your gear on each one. Then I'll let you 'skill test' me. Pull yourself together, relax."

When Loran said so, the three closed their eyes and pulled their strength out of their bodies.

Loran activates Skill Appraisal and Status Appraisal.

Uffinee

"Widespread Recovery Magic" S S

"Single Recovery Magic" A A

(Skills are not dull. The status also tells me that I am fully motivated. You don't seem to be false in your ambition)

"Okay. Uffine. It's okay."

"Yes. Thank you. How was it? My skills and status are"

"It's plentiful. Perhaps we could raise the workout load a little bit for this."

"Yes, thank you very much"

(Alright, that's a successful appeal for now)

Uffine can show Lorran a good spot and makes a gutsy pose.

(Well, what's Monica's skill and status next...... Monica?

Loran's face gets rough.

"What's up, Monica? I can see a disturbance in your status."

Monica freaks out.

"Ugh, excuse me"

"Disturbing status is evidence of mental and physical discomfort." Hawkeye "is a skill that drains health significantly. You know how important it is to manage your health."

"Yes......"

"Maybe... is there something wrong with you?

Loran peered into Monica's face worryingly.

Monica stares at Loran, stuck in words for a long time.

That was a grievance or a look that you could take as asking for help.

"Monica?"

"No, it's nothing. I'll watch my health."

Monica lay down her face and hid her expression.

"?... right. I hope so. Then I'll go to training today."

Loran looked worried about Monica's workout.

(Looks like you're not feeling well after all. I wonder what's wrong. She's usually the one who talks to me right away. Are you all right?

Monica was self-loathing as she felt what Loran was looking at her.

(Ugh. Mr. Loran pissed me off. No more yadda)

Loran was attending a management meeting for The Guardian of the Magic Tree after he handed the assignments to the three of them.

He was involved in important decisions within the Alliance, also face-to-face at meetings like this because he became an executive.

"Now it's about the establishment of a new unit. Following the first unit led by Lillianne and the second unit led by Loran, the agenda has arrived as to whether a third unit should be established. Be sure to say what you think about the captain or formation of the unit"

"Wouldn't the captain of the third unit be fine with Monica for now? She's already Class A. Nobody will have anything to disagree with, even if I entrust the Force Leader."

The fat guild leader said as he wiped the sweat off his bald forehead.

"Wait. It's too soon to leave her to the head of the unit."

Loran objected.

"Though she's Class A, she's still a rookie. Especially at a time when you're new to class A, it's when you say this that you're prone to float and shrug your feet. They already see mental relaxation, pride, and disturbance. As for the three of us, Monica, Shakuma and Uffine, we should not yet even be held accountable for the troops. I think it would be better if we continued to retain them in my unit."

"Right. Then let's say we have reservations about the captain of the new unit. Now to the next agenda."

Lillianne moved on to the next agenda as soon as she heard Loran's opinion.

It was like asking only Loran's opinion was enough.

"So here's the next agenda, about getting newcomers"

"Wouldn't the establishment of a new unit be put on hold? You don't have to get a rookie for a while, do you?

said the guild chief.

"No, let's get the rookie"

Loran said.

"As I said earlier, the three Monicas see the inherent loosening seen by those who have greatly increased their class. You don't have to force pressure, but you need to keep your mind on it. We need to acquire new, comparable talent bowmen (archers), support demons, and healers to show them that the competition is not over yet, and that there are as many that threaten their position."

"Right. Bye, Mr. Loran. Are you sure you want to take care of interviewing and hiring new recruits?

Lillianne said in a slightly sweet manner.

"Yeah, sure. Let me do it."

Loran replied with a refreshing smile.

(Grunts. Lillianne. Reinforce Lorraine's authority)

The guild leader will look like he chewed up a bitter bug.

All the major agendas have since taken on board the opinions of Loran and Lillianne.

All of the guild director's proposals are rejected.

(Damn. Don't you have my position as guild leader in this? If Wilik had even beaten Loran, he'd have done something that didn't have to be like this!

Monica was surrounded by painters in a room at the headquarters of the "Guardian of the Magic Tree".

They are all people who have offered to paint Monica even after giving money (her portrait rights belonged to the guild by contract).

If I could paint her successfully, I was certain I could be a painter of current fashion.

The more active she is, the more famous she becomes again, the more valuable their paintings become.

Monica was completely stiff surrounded by campuses and painters.

"Dear Monica. Are you nervous?

One of the painters spoke up.

Monica laughed like she was in trouble.

"Yeah, 'cause I've never had one of these before"

"You don't have to be nervous. We want to see you as you normally do. Please relax for a while."

"Ha."

(Even if they tell you to do as you normally do)

When Monica looked in trouble, Dotadota and someone came to the room.

When I saw it, it was the guild leader.

"Monica, do you have a minute?

"Guild leader? What the hell is wrong with you?

"I have a customer who wants to see you. I'm sorry, but I need you to handle this."

The guild leader pulls Monica's hand and tries to take her half-strong.

"Hey, I'm still in the middle of painting."

The guild chief would take away such a confused monica confused by the protests of the painters on his ass.

Monica reaches the reception room and looks at the person waiting there and circles her eyes.

There was Lucius.
