443 # 422 Capsule Contents and Guild Establishment Meeting.txt (1/2)

When I logged in at night, Leapling was having a rough time of it. It was caused by the capsules everyone had replaced. I can't move, so I'm immensely disappointed when I ask to see them.

First, here's what Tyrol and the others came up with after replacing the capsules.

Bestia Makina.

It's a dog robot. They used to be a popular toy. Mr. Al had a different name again.

Awesome Makina.

It's a bird robot. That's very Al. They're each cute, but... this is terrible.

Rikku-san, Takuma was guessing a male ex machina and Aroma was guessing a female ex machina.

'It's not what I was looking for~!

Well, you'll want to scream. In case you're wondering, Luke didn't have enough points, so he traded in his fairy summons. I'm not going to say anything because I can already see everyone's punchline.

Apparently everyone's points are at the border of 2,000,000 points this time. It seems that most of the people who were able to get to the point where they defeated the Demon King Bael were able to do so. It's quite a blur of damage points and bonus points, though.

Then I thought Noah, who was talking to Raiden-san about something, came over here, and his belly was chubby.

''...Nii. I'm having a baby.

”What?

Noah's bombshell made them all blurt out unexpectedly.

'Please don't play with them... they're your precious eggs...'

Hmm.

Nowa pulls a dragon egg out of his belly. No, it's the kind of stuff a kid would do, but when Nowa does it now, it looks like it's not a game.

Then he hears the commotion and when everyone gathers around, his eyes are on Ex Machina and the others.

'Summoners are a bit of a gamble...'

It's easy for us to change out a set of equipment and be done with it.

What do you think Mr. Tact is going to trade?

I've made up my mind.

When I tell them what I'm going to decide on, they all look at each other.

''I'm scared...''

Well, it's nitroglycerin and phosphorus. No wonder they're scared. And when Ruin and his friends found out about the island's ability, they were in shock. Apparently, they made it so that only those who could be exchanged would know about the island's capabilities.

''I have a feeling that Tact-kun is trying to crush us...''

'I don't know what it means to be more productive than a production worker...'

'You'll get it every day, whereas the others will end up exchanging it and you'll get it every day. It's an imbalance level.

Yeah, I thought so, too. That's what I thought.

Well, I'll use it all by myself.

'That's the problem!

I'm pissed off... it's a result of me and Lily and the others' hard work, so I don't blame them. I mean...

No one has a seal stone.

I'm curious, though.

'It's a long way off. I feel like we're prioritizing immediate success.

Well, it happens. Then here's where Sharrow gave me the promised exchange. We got a shrimp. Why shrimp? Because I love shrimp.

Since we've all come together, we've decided to talk about the future.

'I'm sure you've noticed, Tact-kun, but I think it's time we moved on to creating a guild.

What does a guild do anyway?

There?

I'm kind of familiar with it, but I don't know if it's a benefit or not.

'Well, it's basically the same as a clan. As I'm sure you've been briefed on, a guild is made up of several clans. The biggest advantage is that starting with this event, we're going to be guild-based, so there's a good chance that future events will be as well.

'Or almost certainly will be. Can you see how that would put us at a disadvantage if we stay in the Clan?

Is this about collaboration?

'Yeah... it's totally different when you're doing an event with people you usually know and people you don't know at all. Because the people you don't know aren't always good players either.

Hmm. I certainly don't like to do events with people I don't like. And I've gotten into a lot of trouble at events. That's a big deal.

And it's also easier to make plans. Some people just can't get their party members and legions together, and there's no way they'll be able to make it work. With a guild, I can bring in other players without worrying about it. This is almost impossible for a summoner to do.

'It's a pretty important factor in a profession like ours. It's pretty hard to get your schedule together.

Mostly my sisters!

You're a college student, so that's not an option. Does that make it tougher for you to get on the field? I'd do that if I could manage it.

''Other than that, you'll be able to take quests that are exclusive to the guild, and if you have production jobs in the guild, you'll be able to get items cheaper, and you'll be less likely to run out of items at the event itself. I can't say for sure, though.

I guess that's not an option... and it looks like production is finally getting back on track. Next, the drawbacks.

'First, we need money, a home, and members to set up a guild. The money is basically going to have to come from all of us. For the home, in our case, we'll have to build a home here or a new one. As for the members, we'll each have more than enough for our needs.

The guild's policy is very important when selecting members. For example, the guild is not allowed to accept anyone other than those who are hard at work on the attack, but if there are those who are dedicated to the attack and those who are not, the guild will collapse.

Well, that's what happens when there's a difference in heat level or something... I'm working on my strategy, but I don't have that much heat in me. It's enough to make me want to go to a new field.

The rest of the time, if there's a level difference, it's important to keep up with the leveling up of the guild and improve the strength of the guild as a whole.

It means we won't be able to be all about strategy all the time.
