Wayne handed out a partnership membership preference form to the adventurers packed into The Spirit's Factory.

The form will go instantly and the adventurers will fill in their name and the name of the group and submit it.

That's how I was finally able to get him to leave that day.

"Huh. What the hell, suddenly?"

Aina said as she relaxed.

"Are you all right? Aina."

Saki, who came from the dining room listening to the noise, calls out to care.

"Yeah, but I'm kind of tired."

"All of a sudden, he pushed me."

"Saki. Take Aina to the back. You were being pushed away earlier. Find out if you're hurt."

"Yes."

Saki pulled into the back with Aina.

Loran looks surprised at the bundle of paper they have submitted.

(They knew that the 'Spirit Factory' alliance would be launched nearby. I've only informed them within my peers this time...)

"No, that was tough. Guild Leader. He doesn't know how to be polite."

Wayne did and said it with his face.

"Wayne...... They seemed like someone you knew..."

"Ma'am. I used to take care of them during the" Dragon Fire "era. Though I didn't expect to come stuffed in this way. Nevertheless, disaster turns to bliss. Now the partnership of The Spirit's Factory also reaches a hundred people. All you have to do is roll up the money from them and pull through the cartel..."

"Wayne, there seems to be some mistake... but I'm not going to let them join the partnership"

"Ha!? Why not? A hundred people in a partnership is the immediate goal of The Spirit's Factory, right?

"I told you this morning at the ceremony, didn't I? The limit of the" factory of the Spirit "alliance is fifty. It's just a glass of Leon's acquaintance. We can't afford to accept them."

"What are you talking about? You can handle it if you try a little harder than that. This is a great opportunity to defeat Dragon Fire, so let's go to battle here."

"If you can defeat" Dragon Fire, "it won't make sense if you even fall to" Spirit Factory ""

"There will be more customers for the Spirit Factory, and the merchant enemies will disappear, okay?

"Think about it. Just because there are more customers doesn't mean it's all good. The burden on each and every employee increases, and there is a risk that the capacity of the workshop (atelier) will overrun. Then the service to the Alliance, which has been formerly in partnership, which should be treated generously, is reduced. It leads to the loss of customers."

"Wouldn't that be nice? That's not true. If I'm properly deluded. Why don't you just tell them to wait and bury the money instead of letting them grab the bad stuff?

"No. It leads to the destruction of brand and credibility, and most importantly, it goes against benevolence. Take a look at this."

Loran indicated to Wayne the guild column to which he belongs on the partnership membership preference form.

"They've come a long way if they do, but they're all Zero Alliance guys, right? Isn't it just a flying guild if you blow it? I don't think those guild guys have a stable financial base. If you sign a wheelbarrow deal with these guys and make the goods, you can go bankrupt without recovering the price."

"That's Holla. With the help of an S-class appraiser. Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha."

Loran turned his jittery eyes to Wayne, who said in a light tone.

"No, but I do. As long as the number of contracts is high, it will also be conducive to raising funds…"

"So he said the plan for a rash that only works with such picturesque cakes would definitely fail. What bothers me more than that is that they were sniffing about the 'Spirit Factory' alliance. Maybe someone passed on some weird information. We need to find out. I'm going to go under them and find out who tipped me off when I refused to enter into a partnership."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute. Hey, you're the one to think about it. I already told those guys I'd put them in a partnership, didn't I? If I told you what I wanted you to do without it now, you wouldn't know what to do with those goblins. Also, this guild could be raided"

"Right. Then let's ask Leon and the others to escort us. Nor will they try to fight in front of the Blue Armor. Put a no on it..."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Why do you keep thinking in such a negative direction? You can consider it a little more positively. Try putting yourself in my shoes. I told them to put me in a partnership, didn't I? And now if I were to put it back on the blank, I'd lose my credibility."

"That's for your convenience, isn't it? It's none of my business."

"Don't be cold like that. I thought I'd put on a pretty boy's face. I'll be surrounded by them and beaten to death."

All Loran did was flatter his shoulders.

I'm really sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it.

(Goddamn it, this guy...)

"Hey, please. You want to raise an island adventurer, don't you? It's convenient for you too."

"You know what I was saying earlier about the goals of" The Spirit Factory "and how inconvenient I am? What you're doing in the first place is an act of transcendence, isn't it?

"What?"

"I don't remember letting you have the authority to enter into a partnership on your own!

"... no, but you had no choice. That situation... This one could have been hurt..."

"Then there is no need to accept this hope of accession now that the danger has left. After withdrawing the foreword, I officially protest against their guild for obstructing power operations"

……

"Let's not use other people or situations as a reason anymore. What about you, Wayne?

Me?

"If you want to go this far, there's only one thing I want to hear. Whether you are prepared to be spoiled and responsible for any consequences"

……

"You don't do your job at all, but only act beyond your authority frequently, and you don't take responsibility. If I had allowed myself to be wheeled like this," The Spirit's Factory "would soon also become an individualistic group like" Dragon Fire, "chasing numbers just for appearances and sales just for prospects, and if I opened the lid, the reality would be rattling, at the end of the quote, it would only be a push of responsibility later. It's visible to be such an organization."

"... I've known it for a long time. I didn't actually work in Dragon Fire."

Remembering her bitter memories in "Dragon Fire," Wayne looks like she's been biting for a long time.

"You don't have to actually work, you know. That's not the reality of" Dragon Fire ", is it?

"What do you know? You can't say such a long thing to survive here!

"... Anyway, I can't allow such a cut and strained project on a half-service statement that I can't do my job satisfactorily"

"Ku...... I'm sorry I crossed the line. But I'm serious about those guys being in trouble. Please. He wants to save them somehow."

[Wayne's Status]

Planning: 50-70 90-100

(Quality with a status of 90-100 for planning. It would deviate from the horizontal path, but it is also a quality available for alchemy. There is also the possibility that this will create some synergy......?

"Wagamama, this is the last time I'm gonna say it. If this succeeds, I will encourage you to acquire unique skills properly. I want to take back what I've been pulling my leg on. I'll do it responsibly."

Loran sighed.

"I get it. If that's what you're saying, I'll allow you to keep going."

"All right. I'll be grateful."

"Well, if that's the case, it's one thing to do."

"Oops, quickly gather personnel, procure ingredients..."

"You're not, are you? More important than that."

"? What?

"Getting Aina to bow her head and help"

"Ha? Why would Aina's guy come out there?"

"Of course not. She's the one who runs most of this workshop right now. Nothing works without her cooperation. You still haven't apologized to her for your loss back then, have you? She's a woman, so I don't know."

"... you still have it in your roots. You can have the statute of limitations now."

"It's not you who decides that, it's Aina. How long are you gonna be in conflict? Except at meetings, we always avoid each other as if we were some kind of rush. We have to settle this now. It's hard to do this."

"I'll take care of everything. Let me do it. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna make it."

"No. I can't allow that."

"Why not? You're telling me you can't do a big job commanding my men?

"Yeah. I don't think I can"

(Goddamn it, this guy...)

"If you really want to move forward with this project, you need to get Aina's help."

"I said something. Can you do that? I can't believe I gave him a head down."

"It's part of my job to keep my head down and ask you to cooperate. I mean, that's most of the work. Or something? Do I have to take care of that?

……

"I'll do it responsibly to the end. You said that yourself, didn't you? That's about as good as it gets."

"Gu."

"That's why you have to help me."

Aina looks at Wayne with a jittery eye.

(Damn, I have to convince him somehow to get Loran's permission)

"Hey. Please. He said it was bad then. I just got in and I was wondering. I admit to being an alchemist."

"It's nice to admit me, but if you change like this, you'll annoy everyone. What do you know about that?

"I know. That's what I'm saying. I'm taking this chance."

"What does Mr. Loran say?

"... when I get your help, I can move on."

Aina sighed.

"Huh. You can't help it. I'll spare you your little growth and help you."

"I'm so grateful!

Aina sighed.

(Damn, Mr. Loran is disciplined. If Mr. Loran tells me, I'll be right there, even if I don't do this)

The dramatic increase in the number of people wishing to join the partnership and the acceptance of Wayne's drafting forced the production plan for the 'Spirit's Plant' to change dramatically.

Loran quickly moved to recruit new talent to fit the plan's track modification.

(With current workshop (atelier) equipment, you can only make 50 pieces of gear at a time. The only way to produce 100 pieces of gear is to run the workshop (atelier) not only by day but also by night. then it is necessary to hire a new person suitable for night work)

Loran appraises the girl in front of him who visited him for an interview.

[Luche's Skills]

"Nocturnal": C A

"Metal Molding": C A

(Found it. Alchemist with skills' nocturnal ')

Basically, skills and stats become unstable at night.

That's why the adventurers on this island don't fight at night.

However, if you acquire the skill 'nocturnal', even if you use the skill at night, you get the same effect as at noon.

Luche was a bloody unhealthy looking girl with a bear in her eyes.

The brunette of Bossa, who is hardly even cared for, is stubbornly wearing it to her eyes.

"Are you all right? Seems a little sleepless..."

When Loran asks, the girl is freaked out.

"Um... I tend to fall asleep from low blood pressure, and I'm late everywhere I go. I'll do my best to wake up in the morning, so can you hire me somehow?

"I see. So is it possible to work at night? Our plan is to keep the workshop (atelier) up and running at night. In the evening, it takes the form of leaving the office early in the morning."

"What? Don't you have to wake up early in the morning? I will. I will. Make sure you let me work in that form!

Loran appraised the following recruiters:

[Melinda's skills]

"Endurance (Toughness) Ultra Recovery (Recovery)": C A

"Health (Stamina) Super Heal (Recovery)": C A

"Metal Molding": C A

("Endurance (Toughness) Super Recovery (Recovery)" and "Health (Stamina) Super Recovery (Recovery)" are Class A. This can stabilize skill accuracy even at night)

Skills become unstable at night because of sudden loss of endurance (toughness) and strength (stamina).

For this reason, even "Endurance (Toughness) Super Recovery (Recovery)" and "Health (Stamina) Super Recovery (Recovery)" can be expected to use some of the skills at night.

Melinda was the girl who hit and changed with Luche and made her eyes gleam as if at dawn all night.

"Um, are you okay? My eyes look a little bloody..."

"Excuse me. I'm having trouble sleeping."

"Lack of sleep? Something bothering you..."

"No, it's not a problem, it's a lack of work. I can't sleep without working 12 hours a day."

"I see. We need to build a lot of gear right now, and we're understaffed. It is possible to work at night and work on holidays, if you will…"

"What? Can I even work the holidays? I will. I will. Make sure you let me work."

(Both of them "metal moulding" is Class C. I wouldn't have a problem making C-class gear. Class B equipment in the day group and Class C equipment in the night group)

Thus adding a new companion, The Spirit's Factory began under the new system.

Aina was in a hurry to reschedule.

(A newbie came in, so I need to figure out a new way to split the job. As I leave the nurturing of the evening group to Mr. Loran, I have to reconfigure my schedule so that I can switch smoothly between the morning and evening groups, and I have to make new blueprints for the newcomers. When the specifications come from Mr. Loran, we'll split the work between each one, because I'm the only one who can 'enhance the exterior (coat)'..., manage the warehouse... Uh, too much work already)

"Eina, I made the iron part of the armor. You can leave this at the Exterior Reinforcement (Coating) place, right?

That's what Wayne said Aina was worried about.

"Oh? Thanks. What's the matter with you? You'll never be too smart."

"I'm in charge of this project, too. Besides, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Workshop (Atelier) We have to work together. You can swing all your armor and shields at me.

Pato has to concentrate on 'harmony', and Leena is busy refining. Roddy's got to write the blueprints, and you want to keep the Eyes on hand, right? You need to focus on exterior reinforcement and job allocation. "

"Really? Well... I'll leave that to you"

(That's a very winning attitude. I guess that means I grew up with this one)

But Wayne had another thought.

(Pfft. As long as we can get through the plan, it's this one. Quests above the production capacity of the workshop (atelier), over-capacity for Eina, and Loran has shifted his axial foot to the appraisal of the night crew and adventurers, and he's not getting a good eye. This is my chance to increase my influence in this workshop.

Wayne looked at Aina.

(Sure, as it stands, Aina is the one with the cow ears, but if I can make more armor than Aina here, my stock will definitely go up. Otherwise, Lorraine will have to let me do this job in the future. Besides, my influence will increase and it will be easier to plan for the future. So after virtually bulldozing this workshop (atelier), the next step is to build a new workshop (atelier). I'll set up a new workshop in front of the enemy's nose and crush that bastard, Edgar.

That's how Wayne actually creates most of the iron part of the new equipment.

Both Loran and Aina wrapped their tongues around this to review Wayne.

Thus, 100 pieces of equipment were instantly manufactured.

On the planned date of the exploration of the dungeon, adventurers wishing to join the 'Factory of the Spirit' alliance gather in the square.

As many as a hundred people, they assembled in the square because it was narrow in front of the "factory of the Spirit".

The staff of "The Spirit's Factory" will make the adventurers wear their gear while partitioning the square.

Pato looked difficult as he handed out his gear to the adventurers.

(Somehow they created equipment for 100 people. It's Mr. Boulder Loran from around here. but......)

Pato remembers talking to Loran.

"Mr. Loran, I disagree. There will always be a breakdown somewhere after all this rapid expansion. Wayne and Leena's skills are still under development, too, and shouldn't we first grow that way and improve our support for the Alliance, which is already partnering as it stands?

"Oh, I thought so, too. But there are limits to waiting for Wayne to grow. Despite the considerable time that has elapsed since he was hired, his unique skills have not yet exceeded Class C. If it doesn't seem to grow any further, I can't help but abandon his upbringing."

"Oh no..."

"So this is the plan. If he gets to work responsibly, it could lead to his consciousness reform. It's a dangerous bet, but I decided to bet on Wayne's intentions."

……

"It's tough, and I know it's dangerous. I was wondering if you could help me somehow."

(Because of Wayne's growth...? I can't disagree with you as my best friend if you say so. [M] But will it be okay? So many people, no matter how many lorans you grow at once......)

When Pato was worried like that, he saw a crowd at the corner of the square.

It seemed like someone was standing on the stage and speaking.

(What? Speech?)

When Pato gazed from behind the crowd, the girl was making a speech.

"Gentlemen! Why the hell did we start to eat up like this!

Pato looked up at the face of the girl speaking.

(Is that... Carla!?

"It's all for adventurers coming from the outside, too, that we've come to feed off like this. The 'Dragon Fire' has come to give priority to gear for external adventurers, also because of Parliament's resolution to open its doors wide to external adventurers. I can't watch any more adventurers from the outside quietly vandalize our gardens of their choice. Now it's time for everyone to get up. Seal off the harbor, tighten up the external ones, and bring back the 'Volcanic Dungeon' and 'Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir)' Crusade Quests to our hands. Let us unite unanimously in those gathered here and exert pressure on Parliament. If this many people push against the council, they can't be listening either."

(Carla. What are you doing? No way, are you gonna multiply this gathering and fan people?

Pato was stunned by her ideas and actions.

Besides, few of the troubled were listening to Carla's speech.

"Hey, Cora. Temee. How dare you give a speech!

Climb onto the stage and grab Carla's hand as Wayne blinks.

"So, what do you do? Get off me!"

"It's forbidden for a guy who's not in the chain of command to speak on his own! Come here. I'll pull you in front of Loran."

Pato rushed under Wayne and Carla in a hurry.

"Wayne, wait. She's someone I know."

"Am I, Pato? You know him."

"What's up? What's all this noise?

Loran is coming.

"Ah, guild leader. Listen to me. She fanned our allies on her own."

"You did come to our guild before... Pato, do you know her?

"Mr. Loran, would you leave her to me?

Pato and Carla moved to the corner of the square.

Carla looks like a bum.

"Long time no see, Carla"

……

"Yugan's assassination failed, and now it's political activity?

Carla stares at Kitty Pato.

"I didn't fail to assassinate you. We didn't have to kill them. They dispersed."

So now you're talking about political activity?

"I don't have the muscle to tell you how I behave. I'm just doing it to protect the island."

(Protect the island...)

"Carla. Why don't you join the 'Spirit Factory' alliance, too?

"What?"

"'The Spirit's Factory' and Mr. Loran are going to play a leading role as alchemy guilds on this island sooner or later. And take away the nest that erodes this island and heal it"

"Nest?"

"Yes. It's a lesion. This island is suffering from disease. To a disease named" The Fire of Dragons ""

……

"I moved to" The Spirit's Factory, "and I understood clearly. They are like infectious disease patients who, despite being sick, are spreading the virus unaware of it. That The Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir) cannot be defeated forever, that the island's adventurers will not grow forever. On the other hand, that only 'dragon fire' has developed and become enlarged. These are no coincidences. It's all caused by the illness of the Dragon Fire."

……

"He says that Mr. Loran is clearly not on the same level as the adventurers who have come from outside the island."

"Well, it does seem that there are no S-class adventurers aside, not even A-class adventurers, and don't be inferior to Yugan Aimar or Sain Orbesta's troops. He didn't bother to tell me that..."

"The other way around, Carla. Mr. Loran is far outnumbered as an adventurer compared to Sain Orbesta and Yugan Aimar and them. That's what I'm saying."

"What?

"You've been exploring the dungeons with Sein Orbesta and Yugan Aimar, too, no matter how confusing, right? And I've seen their prowess up close. Then you'll soon find out if we explore the dungeon together. Mr. Loran's strength."

……

"You're after the giant Fire Dragon, too, aren't you? Well, I don't think it's a waste of time to check out Spirit Factory and Lorraine, which is definitely the eye of a typhoon on this island in the future."

"Thank you for waiting. Mr. Loran, she's joining the alliance."

Pato accompanied Carla back under Loran.

"Are you finally here?"

Loran turns a familiar grin on Karla.

"Was it Carla? Explore the dungeon with you one day. [M] I felt that way. Ever since we first met."

(What is this guy?

Carla looked at Loran in surprise.

"Mr. Loran, I will follow you on this expedition."

"Pato. You too?

"Yes."

(If Carla tries to kill Mr. Loran, I'll stop him. even in lieu of life)

"Hey, wait. If Pato's going, I'm going, too."

Wayne said.

(Pato is active in the dungeon and my contribution will not fade, even though he said he has gone so far. At the end of the day, you need to keep a close eye on me so my handles don't get sidetracked.)

The alliance thus aligned the actors dived into the dungeon with many glitches, including steep gear, awkward relationships and staggered thoughts.
