On the evening of the day that marked teeks since Vandalieu opened his food cart, the Deputy Guild Master Joseph of the Commerce Guild was in his office, his expression so bitter that the number of wrinkles on his face had doubled

“Grr, that damned, impertinent brat…!” heto Vandalieu

“It’s his fault for rejectinghis stupid businessI rateful”

Joseph hadcontact with Alda’s peaceful faction to Vandalieu, the second known DhadomThis was because he wanted connections to the iures in Alda’s peaceful faction, which was steadily beco the major faction in the Alcrem Duchy – In particular, he wanted connections with the Five-colored Blades

Indeed, it was an effort that would benefit Vandalieu in the end as well, though the protection of Alda’s peaceful faction and the backing of the S-class adventurers would be nothing but a nuisance for hi aware of that, as he had no way of knowing of Vandalieu’s circumstances

But Joseph’s offer to Vandalieu hadn’t been for Vandalieu’s benefit in the slightest at the time he made itHe had simply altered his version of events in his own memory to justify the offer to hiry that he ainst his mouthHe was from a family of earls, but as the Deputy Guild Master, his office was inferior to the Guild Master’s in size, extravagance and soundproofing

And no matter how ize!

The ‘education’ that Joseph referred to in his mind was his harassurative expression or sarcasht that he was teaching an impertinent brat how cruel the world was and how important it was to listen to one’s superiorsIt was sosters in the past

But Vandalieu showed no signs of regretting his actions or wanting to apologize to Joseph and accept his offerHe hadn’t even visited the Coistration

Though Joseph had interfered with Vandalieu’s food cart business, Vandalieu had hunted and acquired meat on his own, and even associated other food carts with hi Goblin and Koboldthat he had already ta and Giant Rats, he had been noticed as a proh this was unconfirmed information, the monsters had apparently become members of new races after their Rank increases yesterdayGuild Master Bachem’s visit to the capital was also rumored to be because the Ta to work on Vandalieu to take him in

But I don’t care about the Tamers’ GuildThe problem is the Goblin meat!

Since ancient times… Even from the time when the heroic God Bellas still alive, countless es, alchemists, nobles, adventurers and city chefs had atte, unpleasant Goblin meat edible

These had all resulted in countless failuresSo the meat had been discovered in the past, but all of them had been so expensive and resulted in tasteless dishesMethods that spent a large as and spices just to make Goblin meat not inedible couldn’t be used in ti the poor

But Vandalieu kneay to use Goblin e, but… how in the world did he learn it? Did he tae interacted with Ghouls… No, I don’t care about thatThe products are for the filthy poor people, but that technology could be used to squeezetheir people! And yet… That damn wench and her brat! Do they even really want to do business?!

Vandalieu had not folded to Joseph’s harassar and his coe ofInstead, he was continuing totreated as a saint after su a familiar spirit at the Communal Church

Darcia and Vandalieu’s popularity was continuing to increase a the city’s inhabitantsIt was to the point that Vandalieu was being called the ‘food cart king’ and ‘genius tamer,’ while Darcia was known as a ‘holy woman’

In fact, Joseph was in the worse position

He had never cared about what the poor people of the slu treated as a saint, it wasn’t just the people of the slu to have a bad ie of Joseph spread throughout the city of Morksi, which was a city of co cities and villages throughhow famous Vandalieu and Darcia were now, it could even spread to other duchies

At this rate, things would be bad for Joseph once the Guild Master returned

According to recent ru me a lecherous old man who tried to court that Dark Elf, was rejected and is now harassing her in retaliation! At this rate, things will be bad for h he told ood planHe’s useless after all!

Joseph didn’t trust Aggar very uard in the end; Joseph had decided that he couldn’t expect ar’s first attempts to find faults with Vandalieu’s business had failed

Even so, Joseph had kept an eye on Aggar, thinking that perhaps he enious idea, but… it seeive up on him

“… Now that it’s coize,” Joseph decided

He would kneel on the ground before Vandalieu, say that he rong and stop his pressure on the wholesale stores, which he had left alone recently as Vandalieu hadn’t been visiting the to the orphanage and is caring for adventurers who have lost their liion, or if that isn’t the case, he is an unood person,” Joseph said to hi, he will likely accept ht be y”

After that, he just needed to quietly continue his duties as Deputy Guild Master until so else happenedAnd once opportunities presented the infory

If he did this repeatedly, their hostile relationshi+p would become hazier

“Very wellNow that I have ht now… No, the food cart is located in a back alley of the red-light districtI shall head there to apologize when ,” Joseph told hi about hoord his apology to Vandalieu and Darcia, there was a knock on the door, as if tihts

“… Enter,” he said without looking at the door, thinking that an employee had come with documents

But in the next moment, his eyes opened wide in surprise as he saw that it wasn’t an euards

“W-who are you people?! What do you ith me?!” he shouted

“Deputy Guild Master Joseph of the Co euards!” one of the guards declared

Joseph was even more astounded by their words“I’?! What are you talking about?!”

He was panicked and confused by these charges that he had no knowledge ofIt was true that he had paid Aggar and his companions to find faults with Vandalieu’s business and interfere with it if they found even the sar had eoods or plotted a kidnapping, Joseph had nothing to do with itHe hadn’t asked his; he certainly hadn’t incited such activities

“Where is your proof?! If you wish to arrestup froer

“Silence! Resisting will do you no good!” one of the guards said in response

Having no intention of showing Joseph proof of the charges, the guards surrounded hian to tie him up

“You bastards! Do you knoho I am?! I-I am a Deputy Guild Master, the uncle of the Earl Isaac Morksi that you serve!” Joseph shouted“Don’t think you will get aith this –”

But the guards didn’t respond; they sio, had been hisThe reason for that was because they had been directly ordered by Earl Isaac Morksi to secure Joseph’s safety

Isaac had heard a strange report froar and his coh the back door and then vanished without a traceHe was puzzled, but Aggar and his couessed that someone had somehow taken them captive and disposed of their corpses so that this ‘someone’ was Vandalieu or someone connected to hiue idea that soic had been used, an idea that anyone could come up with that couldn’t even be called a deductionIt was an irrational line of thought that all strange events were connected to Vandalieu

But he couldn’t think of any other reason that Aggar and his companions would vanish at that moment in time

That hy Isaac had decided to secure Joseph’s safety, as he was likely to be Vandalieu’s next target, and punish him

He had been driven by the need to show Vandalieu that he was not an ene his own uncle as a sacrifice, even if itindebted to the Cohts! Do you think the Guild will stay silent over this?! I’ framed by someone! SOMEONE BELIEVE ME!” Joseph screale person responded to Joseph’s words as he was dragged out of the Co

Theafter Vandalieu acquired the ‘Dream Guider’ Job, around the sah spirits as he

“Listen, Master! The truth is… I’ve acquired a divine protection,” he whispered to Vandalieu and Natania

“… I see,” said Vandalieu

“O-oh really…?” said Natania

“Ah, neither of you believe , I heard ‘You have acquired a divine protection!’ And when I looked at my Status, it was really there!” Simon said happily

Neither Natania or Vandalieu kne to respond

Natania couldn’t just say, “I have it too,” nor could Vandalieu tell hiave it to you”

“So, what kind of God’s divine protection is it?” Vandalieu asked

Siave a bitter s… Even when I look at my Status, the God’s name is coveredAll I know is that it’s six characters, and the last character is an extended vowel,” he said

It seemed that Simon’s Status displayed ‘■■■■■ー’s Divine Protection,’ so he didn’t know that Vandalieu was the one who had given him the divine protection

TLN: The ー character indicates that the previous character’s vowel sound is extended, but in this case the previous character is hidden, so vowel sound is unknown (to Siht be a subordinate God of Vida related to swords or battleThe truth is, Master, I had a strange dreahtSo, and when I turned around, I had received a sword… and when I woke up, I’d received a divine protection,” said Si his dream“You’d think that sleep is the specialty of Mill, the Goddess of sluet the feeling that it was herCan you think of any of Vida’s subordinate Gods that ht rule over dreams or swords?” he asked

“… No, I can’t think of a subordinate God of Vida who rules over drea naive any other responseHe couldn’t tell Simon the truth when the truth was that he had used the tip of his hanging tongue to touch Siiven him was a horn that had fallen off his body rather than a sword

“I see… Then I suppose I’ll try indirectly asking at the Coo and visit the library for the first ti gave a sigh-like bark in disappointave him disappointed looks as well

“Sorry I can’t tell you which God’s divine protection it is,” said Si; he thought their disappointiven him the divine protection

“I wonder if this kind of thing is coh… I can’t even think of a God whose name has six characters and ends with an extended vowel sound,” said Si turned into a depressed one

Vandalieu wondered whether he should tell Simon, “Don’t worry about it; it can’t be helped”

“But still, the fact that they’ve given s froet s, I’m sure I’ll learn the God’s nao and train!” he said, cheering up again and heading towards the gate

Fang and the rats followed, likely thinking about what a hopeless junior he was and that he should notice soon enough

“… It’s surprisingly hard to realize the truth,” Vandalieuto do with the fact that he can only see the vaguest character, but I think it’s normal not to realize, Master,” Natania whispered back

As far as the people of Laranted by GodsThe contents of one’s Status was normally important personal information, but divine protections were such special Unique Skills that acquiring them would be happy news to share with those close to oneself

In addition to reducing the difficulty of overcoible effects, they gave a sense of achieve been chosen by the Gods

“I didn’t think that the person in h I saw the ‘V’ in ht be, and I accepted it after you told ht away,” said Natania

She’d had a drea Blades and attacked by the MinotaursIt was a nightmare that she’d had countless tis had descended fros had crushed the Minotaurs and sent the Fla on the ground, had looked up to see a grotesque giant looking down at her

The giant had then picked her up with a bony hand and enveloped her in a warm fluidThat liquid… its cri a part of her own blood

When she woke up from that dream, she had received Vandalieu’s divine protection like SimonIncidentally, Juliana had also received a divine protection in the sa her to cry emotionally for some time, and it had taken some tiot your divine protection, but… is it related to the training, Master? It won’t have weird effects likeworried

“Hht becoue when you want to,” said Vandalieu, giving a rather uncoained the ‘Spirit For

“Wow! My ar! I can move this metal artificial arm exactly as I want to, Master!” Simon shouted excitedly

“Me too, I can walk! I’h!” said Natania

Simon and Natania were in the second stage of training right awayWe’ll be alternating between co with me and free practice,” said Vandalieu
