Vol. 8 - Chapter 403 - Marie-senpai's Junior—A Dwarf enters!

‹Princess Knight› Aegis

‹Songstress Princess› Noel.

‹Racc-Shell› Lacritta.

‹Magic Swordsman› Sachi.

‹Magic Companion› EmiVisitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

‹Magic Archer› Yuuka

‹Collector› Nico.

‹Seeker› Kairi.

A total of 8 sub-member had introduced themselves so far. Two more to go.

One of the two stood up from their seat before long.

"It's finally my turn!"

The person that said it was...another loli. I seriously wondered if this guild is cursed by loli-magnet yokai. Ahem, but let me rephrase myself. She was a loli, but not a loli in essence. That physical appearance of this member was in fact the characteristic of her race.

"The name's Alulu, from the ‹Dwarf› race. I may look like a little girl but this is the normal physique for us so it would be great if ya all just treat me as a normal girl. I am from Blacksmithing Department Class 1-1›, and my job is ‹Tri-Element Dwarf›. As you can guess, this is a production line job that hardly can handle fighting. I might not be able to support everyone in the dungeon but you can be rest assured about weapons manufacturing, strengthening and maintenance."

‹Dwarf› race.

But above all, only the high-ranking jobs could manufacture the advanced dungeon equipment or item through recipes. It was impossible for anyone below to fiddle with the materials of the advanced dungeon. To be more precise, they could put the material in use that would degrade the end equipment, which means its abilities would be significantly lowered as well and honestly not that much stronger compared to the top range of equipment we have now. And if you mishandled the materials, then you can kiss them goodbyes.

Don't want to lose the materials? Get them to the advanced production job holder. This was the norm in the game.

Well, that was almost impossible in this world where int-high dungeons were the highest peak and advanced jobs were scarcer than water in a desert. And a production job? Good luck searching for them.

In the end, that means we might need to train an advanced production job member by ourselves. Wait, not even might, this was definitely the only way.

I was seriously worried when I reached that conclusion and hurriedly tasked Misato to look for a ‹Dwarf›. Wait for the hot deal of materials, Marie-senpai! A present for my esteemed senpai was a must!

Speaking of Aruru, she was the member of c-rank guild ‹Dwarf Gathering› which was comparable to ‹Emblem Seal Sticker› in every means. Aruru herself was a much-anticipated rookie for them and she was a knocker in the eyes of dwarves to add further, so I was ready to pull in some string and use this and that method to pull her to our side. However I didn't need to do that much as Aruru easily switched the party, quoting 'Bearded highschool students are a bit out of my interest zone'. I really didn't expect to hear that from a dwarven girl, quite a bold character she was, isn't she? But Amen to the bearded boys, whose heart was shattered into pieces due to that.

Incidentally, I also don't know what came in her strike zone. I mean, I did think of asking her but my 'Intuition' suddenly rang a series of alarms on my side. I don't know why my 'Intuition' flared up so suddenly till this date.

Once Aruru finished introducing herself, I supplement the details from side,

"She is among the finest ‹Blacksmiths› who garnered high expectations from the ‹Dwarf Gathering› guild. Well, now that she is in our guild, I want to quickly get her a ‹Advanced Job Ascention Ticket› and her to upgrade job. She has just what we need in our ‹Eden›, and I am confident she can create the best equipment that will become a lifeline for us in our further journey. I still wonder why such an excellent talent decided to join the sub-guild."

"Fufufu, you're going to make me blush with your praises. Well, the reason is very simple, though. I often heard from Marie-onee that Zephyr onii-san—er, ‹Eden› is the never ending trove of materials. And as a blacksmith, what else could I ask for with that much all sorts of material to play with, no?"

"Ah, that makes sense."

I guess I was putting the cart before the horse. It really doesn't matter if it was a sub-guild or parent guild for her when all that matters was if we were capable of providing her materials—which we fortunately would never lose.

Well, our 9th sub-member ended up being a production job holder. Wait, more like, she was the only one with a production job holder in the guild. I should look to increase their number later.

Ahem, now to our last member, who is also the sole male in the ‹Arc-Arcadia›.

T/N - Caught up in some other work, will update the next chapter as promised in a few hours.
