Vol 7 Chapter 114 (2/2)
“If it’s candy, it’ll last a while, and all you have to do is keep it in your ”
Clara nodded stiffly, as she accepted, and looked down a little
From the Jewel came the Third’s voice
『Oh, Lyle’s finally moved to raise Clara’s affection level!』
The Fourth without hesitation
『Hht her a pendent a while ago anyways- you’ve got seven left to please… you sure have it rough, boy!』
I got the urge to hit hed over the le blow in
Perhaps today will be my lucky day
And I heard a voice
It was the voice of disputing adventurers More specifically, as if a fight had broken out a comrades
“So you’re saying it’s my fault!?”
When I turned e sword over his back As always, he wore nothing but a tank top above I really can’t understand that one
Doesn’t he get cold like that?
Clara put the brown paper bag of candies under her arm as she looked over at Erhart
“It looks like they’ve just came back from a request”
He had the sa quite ruffled in his clenched fist Before hi him doith unpleasant expressions
“Of course it is! In the first place, saying one day without even looking it up… it took four whole days to reach, did it not!? And e got there, you went and pissed the requester off, so we’re sure to get a low evaluation for it! We barely have anyour income!?”
It seeered the client and dropped their evaluation
I confirmed their actions from afar, and decided to keep a set distance I was just a little curious as to why they would pick a place like this for a fight
“All I did was buy a single freakin’ skewer froh strung If a worthy request co like there’s no tomorrow, so for now, shut it!”
Within all their ht a meat skewer for himself
From within the Jewel, the Sixth spoke
『No ood』
Erhart seehed as he…
『Yeah~ everyone has their oay of leading people, but that one’s no good He isn’t the type to lead with charis people to follow hiet how he lost to Lyle? Well, it’s an interesting perforht up in it will be a pain Lyle, how about you leave as soon as you can?』
If he spotted ot to be bad, or how should I put it, more a pain, so took Clara’s hand, and led her away
The Fifth let a few-up voice from the Jewel
『Oblivious, and reckless Well, he row a bit if he adventures for a while If I had to say, then Lyle’s too well-mannered for his position』
To succeed, a certain level of reckless was necessary, said the Fifth I do admit that such a side may prove essential
But one step in the wrong direction, and it’s self-destruction
If all goes well, it’s a success story, but the future really depends on the individual’s disposition
Crawling up, and establishi+ng his own style of life as an adventurer isn’t completely impossible
I’m technically his senior, but here we’re both newbies
(I had Novem and the ancestors to advise ht around now)
Around Erhart, the troubled city dwellers And the s them
The ones concerned continued on loudly without paying s
Looking at Erhart, I honestly saw a possibility I shouldn’t be playing around with

… A roouild
There, Tanya gave her report on the adventurers to her superior
She had submitted a number of forms, with her own evaluations on them
The higher-up looked through the docu in the east branch, as he sipped his tea
He wasn’t a foric stones But he still had to hear of adventurer arded by his subordinates
“So what’s your opinion on theray of talent in these files?”
Her naely, Tahnia did not offer a correction Because she accepted them as two separate names
Tanya was the nauild employee
While Tahnia was that of a sweeper
“Yes I think there are a number of parties that could turn up a profit And it’s about the party headed by Lyle…”
Her superior searched for the papers, took it in hand, and nodded
“He’s attained a high evaluation quite splendidly It’s not anything extraordinary, but not bad either At this rate, it won’t be long until he enters a labyrinth”
While nodding, Tahnia…
“Yes, the finest evaluation But I can’t help but think he was ai for it”
Her superior looked at her
“Unsatisfied with so?”
“No, proficient adventurers are the guild’s precious assets I do think that he, his party, will become a valuable asset for the eastern branch”
Thinking Tahnia had found soher-up took a sip of tea
“Then isn’t that fine? We need only support them If they moderately complete requests such as this, then offer the but use them, they’ll flow somewhere else before you know it You need a moderate level of bait on the table”
Hearing that, Tahnia nodded, and continued on with her report
“And next up is one on the worse side of things”
The superior turned his eyes to a pile of docu But as it wasn’t a rare occurrence, he didn’t seem all that interested These sorts of folks popped up every year without fail
A ruckus over a duel, by young’uns who’d become adventurers oblivious to the point of the trade
“Just do the usual If they look to be useful to the guild, then guide them on, and if not, then leave the elsewhere, it’ll actually be a blessing for us”
The guild liked to keep problematic adventurers at a distance
And Erhart and co were just such adventurers But it’s not like they’d give up on theht away There was always a fixed level of adventurers like them, and there were plenty of cases where such adventurers rew
The guild had their ways to turn theined
“Ah right… Tahnia, you’re too competent a woe of them And with this matter, let’s make her their exclusive receptionist and call it a penalty”
That’s just how many receptionists they had under their control Such treatments were possible
A single beautiful receptionist could be set to come into contact with a number of parties, and motivate them You could also call it a way to use them however it seemed convenient
When the beauty elcouild so warmly sounded troubled over how no one would take up a request, ould they do? Perhaps they’d feel a sense of debt, or courtesy Adventurers with such sentiment may take the initiative and complete such unfavorable requests splendidly
Adventurers who’d stacked up some ability in another land would avoid such requests if they kneould put thee
And that’s why, there always had to be a set amount of Erharts
“So scissors are all about how you use theuild will benefit And he’ll also benefit greatly himself No~ we all should be a relation where no one loses out, you know Both the guild, and its adventurers”
(TL: The phrase he’s going here is, ’Idiots and scissors are all about how you use theuess theThe scissor part is on how even blunt scissors can cut if you use theht This is also the japanese title for the series Dog & Scissors, if you replace the idiot part with dog)
Before her grinning superior, Tahnia nodded, collected up the docuether
“Well then, I’ll be taking my leave”
Saying that, she left the room Her superior:
“And good luck with the receptions desk, Tanya”
