Vol 8 Chapter 120 (1/2)
Godwin: Rebranding is where you take a property the general public are bored to death of seeing, change it slightly, and pro completely different
Jack: That sounds both insulting, and manipulative
Godwin: I like to call it good
Jack: Well now I think it sounds great )
The Leader’s Job
Adventuring coenerally had a lot of worries
When the scale grew large enough, perhaps you could hire people to e in your place, but you couldn’t really leave your money to people you couldn’t trust
In my own room, I looked over the consuan to write a list of things we had to buy
“U proble she needs to get herself And wait, she’s the only one who’ll be using it, isn’t she?”
Her equipment replace around the food stalls, but that was still within my tolerance level
But I have todebt fro about a bad influence to the party
Not just myself, as the leader, I have to look after , I had no free time
“To with Miranda, next is Clara, and Aria is…”
On top of interacting with all my companions…
Watching over nored Monica as she made a bored expression
She was by rew bored, she would start estures At present, she was sitting facing away, quietly singing a sorrowful song to attract my attention
“… Monica, if we asseet-wise?”
When I called out to her, she stood and abruptly raised both her hands
“Over budget To be old over! As of yet, it’s unknohat sort of earnings we can expect in the Labyrinth, so if you increase the budget any higher, you’d best be prepared to go into the red! But, with a certain chicken dickwad’s savings taken into consideration, it’s a trifling sum”
Even if ere accepting requests, it’s not like as long as I could mobilize our forces, then any job would be fine It was the leader’s job to stay in the black
“I’ onto those funds is a bit…”
For the task before us, no aht it terrible if I didn’t get a grip on the matter Some advice came from the Jewel
It was one with strong relation to monetary matters, the Fourth
『You seem to be troubled it, but Lyle… you know, it’s not like you have to be at full force at all times』
When I touched the Jewel, he offered an explanation
『I’ you don’t always have to make use of all your numbers Send a moderate force to the Labyrinth, and let two or three sit this one out It’s your holiday, and you don’t really have to challenge it in the first place Based on how things play out, just take two or three along At the moment, you have assembled personnel capable of such a feat』
While ere low in nuh competence of each of its members
『Marching forth with everyone aboard is overkill Do some moderate rotations, and preserve your war potential for the future And that’ll also decrease the consumption of consumables』
But wouldn’t it be best to let everyone build up experience equally? I had such a worry, but its true ouldn’t be able to move without money
However…
(There’s theto try out a variety of formations may prove beneficial And wait, besides those two, are there any that don’t get along?)
Thinking it wasn’t a bad idea to use this chance to find out, and with this being ation mission in Beim, I felt there was a need for some extensive trial and error
I sent Monica a glance
“How’s the ? Feel it’ll be done soon?”
Monica pointed both paled her shoulders
“I couldn’t borroorkshop, so it really will be a sis and wheels A handcart or perhaps a rickshaw I have one unit completed”
We received some details on the Labyrinth, and it seeh to fit Porter Even if we forced it through, it would not be able to descend stairs
And it wouldn’t make the turns on the path, or so Monica calculated
(It we’ll be fighting in a narrow space, smaller numbers really will be the safer option)
Originally, I planned to split the party in half, and have us erous to leave Shannon at the Base alone
“… Monica, tell everyone we’ll be challenging the Labyrinth on rotation I’ll draw up the plans on my side…”
When I said that, the Fifth gave some advice from the Jewel
『… Get all their opinions together And don’t finalize it alone You can reuse soather up all the necessary ite Otherwise it will be a pain later』
I had the Seventh’s 【Box】, so it was possible to preserve perishables The reason e was due to that oh-so-convenient Skill of the Seventh
When I shook my head, Monica waited for my next words
“… Never mind that Let’s buy all the necessary items today But we’ll discuss the ather in the evening?”
Monica nodded
“Quite a wise choice for a chicken Well, there are so everyone will prove impossible”
When I thought of who may be out, Miranda’s face was the first to come to mind The runner ups: Novem, Eva and May
May was taking in the sights of the city, and Noveuardian
(Clara will be holed up reading since she’s bought a book, Aria doesn’t get up in the s, Shannon’s location… well, that one really depends on Miranda)
“Just tell theht, so… actually, could you go out and tell theet back”
When I said that, her face reddened
“I-it’s not like I wanted to go out with you or anything, okay!? I’ll convey the e as fast I can, but don’twith you as soon as possible, okay!?”
She said so those lines
(Why does she act like that every single time?)
“Then I can go alone and…”
As I was about to say it, Monica’s face turned serious
“That was a lie I’ you to death about it later It will surely be annoying, so I highly reco for your own sake Just takeforward to it for a hell of a long time”
“No… you’re already being plenty annoying as it is…”
And the Sixth offered some advice
『Lyle, don’t forget to give your greetings to the other iation mission』
(Ah, there was that too)

A few days later
I took care of my comrades’ preparations, and when I had the time to enjoy o with some bottles of wine in one hand
I got the narrow eyed ation, 【Alette Baillet】
Of course, he wasn’t a direct acquaintance, but I asked if he could use so a possibility
If the woman in question didn’t want to reetings But with uild in such a short timeframe, it seemed she was mildly interested
She approved amy feet to her door
(She should have just refused)
The reason I thought that, was because she had just returned fro a request As the party’s leader, she had personally gone out to coe pleasantries with me
I really don’t know about inviting in guests when if she wanted to take it easy a while
At the same time, my schedule was also barely able to fit it in
I toldin the Labyrinth, and received their approval, but in that case, e to do about the reward? The for based on everyone’s input was a trial
(I’lad I listened to what the Fifth had to say)
As I was thinking that, I arrived at the building I was looking for
The area was lined with s that looked like inns And It was an area a large number of adventurers lived
Rather than staying in an inn, or renting an apart in places like this must be on the successful side of the spectrum
