Chapter 40: The Second War of Commerce
In January X688, "Magunolia" belonged, and the station of the "Fairy Tail" of the Magus Guild.
After about a year and a half, the small guild with only five people at that time gradually developed into a medium-sized guild with a number of twenty or thirty people.
The reason why it is so prosperous is that the cooperation of the guild president and his assistant lady can be said to be indispensable, first Zela formulated the general policy of the guild, and after handing it over to Mebis to manage and improve, their guild's influence in the local alliance has gradually increased, and no one dares to look down on this guild dominated by two girls.
For the members who joined the club, Zela didn't pretend to be in his hands, all of them were selected by herself one by one, because of her own particularity, she would be very sensitive to a person's 'negative emotions', so when reviewing, as long as it was someone who Zela 'hated', she was excluded.
Because of this, the atmosphere of the entire guild can change over time towards the form that Zela and the others originally envisioned.
The only regret is that their guild has not become a 'non-nuisance' guild......
For example, a trio of adventure hunters who have not been changing careers for a long time have been ranked first in terms of job completion and complaints.
And today, it's the day when Zela goes to the 'regular council' of the guilds......
β¦β¦
"Drink, drink!! Ha ha!!! β
Stepping on the stool and raising his wine glass, the blonde young man with a flushed face who had already drunk kept shouting, stirring up the atmosphere in the guild.
Because the record for the fastest task completed was broken, someone was celebrating it.
ββ¦β¦ Don't do that, Yuri, if the president comes back......"
The young woman in the apron kept dissuading her, as the guild manager of the order, she knew that they were in trouble again for this mission.
It's a pity that what she said didn't make a difference.
"Huh? It's okay, it's okay! I'm not afraid of that little witch who doesn't grow up~"
Those who continued to disconnect from the line touched their glasses with the members on the side, not realizing that they were dying again.
ββ¦β¦ Give it up, Rita. β
Sitting in the stands and having a drink, Precht was used to the scene.
"That's right, Yuri who has become crazy like this, only Zela can 'stop' him."
With his back to the table, Volod also spread his hands wisely.
It's better to say that this is good, they seem to be calm and weak now, so if they continue to wait for a certain brown-haired girl to come back, the attention will not be on them.
It's great that Yuri is an idiot.
ββ¦β¦ Well? Oooh! If you look closely, isn't this little Rita?! β
Drunkenly in front of the Kanban Girl's stage, Yuri strikes a pose that he thinks is cool.
He casually took out a flower from a vase beside him, and the blonde youth handed it over 'affectionately'.
"Actually, I've beenβah!"
The confession is interrupted by a pain in the top of his head, and Yuri's head is suddenly snapped into a chair.
The partners who were still calling him brothers and sisters picked up their 'weapons' at this moment and beckoned to him.
"Hey! Stop it! What are you going to do! β
"Kill him!"
"You want to attack our little angel again!"
"Even if it's unconscious...... Wrong! It is even more unforgivable to get drunk!! β
Chairs, tables, bottles, the guild that could only be regarded as lively just now instantly staged a martial arts arena.
Holding a tray to block the flying corner of the table, the kanban girl named Rita squatted down with a wry smile, and couldn't help but complain about why the guild leader had taken the fairy-like girl with him this time.
As long as they have one of them, whether it is Zela's 'President Momentum' or Mebis's 'Cute Mode', they can make these young people who are surging with blood 'calm down'.
"How dare you do it, you guys, look at me and ββ?! me well"
ββ¦β¦ See how you are? β
A voice as calm as the eve of a storm suddenly sounded.
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
The door was slammed open, and the blonde youth, who had been awakened by the wine, pulled his chin with a look of despair.
And then......
"Balloco!"
"Okay, master! It's time for 'punishment'! β
- Who's going to help me?!
No one responded to Yuri's expression, and they all skimmed their heads in tacit agreement.
Don't you be afraid if you say yes......
β¦β¦
************************************************************************************************************************
ββ¦β¦ Alas...... Really tired......"
Lying on her own exclusive seat, the brown-haired girl who was the president sighed deeply amid the struggle of the young man who was tied up as a caterpillar and hung upside down on the roof.
The feather-eared girl behind her also had a wry smile, she knew that what her friends hated most was that kind of boring meeting.
What's more, this time, it's not just to listen to the nagging of the old grandfathers......
ββ¦β¦ Did something happen? President, Miss Mebis. β
Putting down the drink prepared for the two of them, the Kanban girl asked suspiciously.
Didn't these two go to a regular meeting? How does it seem like a fierce battle?
"It's still that thing, that's it."
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
ββ¦β¦ Matters of trade. β
βββοΌβ
Under Mebis's soft reminder, Rita also remembered the problems that her president and assistant lady had been worrying about recently.
It was a cruel nightmare that was triggered by a dispute between trade at the end of the previous year, and it has never ended.
- The Second Trade War.
"But ......"
Shouldn't this matter involve the 'magician' who is a supernormal being?
ββ¦β¦ In other words, there is finally a guild that doesn't know how to abide by the bottom line and strikes first, right? β
Precht, who had come to the side at some point, answered Rita's doubts, and his expression was serious and terrifying.
The 'Magus Guild' does not intervene in wars, it is an unwritten rule among guilds.
Of course, it is impossible to completely prohibit it, but even if there is, it is always done secretly without being detected or by the will of the individual.
Because once the 'superman' team is put on the surface, the chain reaction will be out of control.
Soldier to soldier, the Wizard Guild must only be fought by the Wizard Guild.
ββ¦β¦ That's it, it was the dark guild lurking in a small town to the west that made the first move. β
βββοΌβ
Stirring the drink in her glass, Zela seemed to foresee the quagmire of the rapidly deteriorating war.
The battle line in the west has been stretched longer and longer, and if it continues to extend, I am afraid that this city, which has just recovered a little, will be drawn into it again.
And at that time, as a member of them, their guild also had to participate in the war.
(sighs...... οΌ
(Finally found news of Jelf.) οΌ
The curse on her body hasn't been resolved yet.
The atmosphere was a little sluggish, except for the shaking 'caterpillar' above his head, everyone was silent.
ββ¦β¦β
"The war, if only it could end quickly......"
Mebis's sigh of emotion brought out everyone's hearts.
