Chapter 139: Results”

We arrived at the branch earlier than we had anticipated. Feria, Rudra, Mike and Ever were waiting for us.

– Welcome back, master. (Mike)

– Hey, Mike. Thank you for being a good girl while I was away.

The fact that she was able to stay calm while I was absent goes to show how much she has grown.

– Akane, how did it go? (Ever)

– It was them. I made sure to read the file with their description beforehand. (Akane)

Akane handed Ever a paper.

– Good job. I’ll give it to her. I’ll congratulate you on your efforts later, Takaya. Please don’t miss me.

Ever went up the stairs, which are supposed to be off-limits to non-staff.

– Sorry, Takaya. We should’ve kept a closer eye on Mizott. (Feria)

– I probably got him riled up with our fight, so in a way, this is my fault too. (Rudra)

– Hold on… (Takaya)

Do they know we got attacked?

– What’s wrong? Do you want me to handstand naked through Bay Road? (Rudra)

– That’s about the last thing I want.

– Did Akane not tell you? (Feria)

– I… I thought I could let them h-have their revenge…

– So you haven’t told them. (Feria)

– …S-Something like that.

Mizott appeared in front of everyone with his eyes glued to the floor.

– It’s time for the results. But first, there’s someone who would like to have a word. Rizerotta-sama, please. (Mizott)

– Thank you, Mizott-kun! You seem tired, I hope you enjoy your vacation on our southern island. (Rizerotta)

– …Yes.

Head hanging, Mizott walked back into his office.

Seems like someone just got fired, and probably worse.

– Searat adventurers, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Rizerotta. I’m an adventurer of the main branch of Alta Masters in the Royal Capital. I thought I’d come to see you face to face.

She was as small as Mike. The hem of her cloak even touched the floor. But her mannerisms were very mature.

– First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone for any issues Mizott must’ve caused. Acts of wrongdoing have no place in Alta Masters.

The entire hall became an uproar.

– As a lot of you have reported before, Seaserpent has been guilty of cheating and corruption for quite some time. It took us this long to investigate because they had been using the money from our subsidies as bribes to hide any evidence.

Rizerotta held up a paper sheet.

– As you can see here, they even hired a dark guild to attack adventurers. To think that your role model guild would engage in such activities is disgusting. Hence, Seaserpent is dissolved as of right now, and any further actions to act as a guild are prohibited.

– Shall we get to naming the new sub-branch, then? (Rudra)

– Of course. Seaserpent might be deleted from the records, but a competition still took place, and we would like to honor it. (Rizerotta)

A bunch of names were written on a giant board. The name at the top shone much brighter than the second and third place.

First place: Searat

Score: 326,893S

– Congratulations, Searat. I hereby appoint you as the representatives of Bay Road.
