Chapter 120: Banquet at Silas-san’s Mansion part 2

The meeting I convened the next morning began under a gloomy cloud. Maybe it’s my imagination, but the women’s eyes on me feel… severe. I’d also called Katolle in with the squad leaders to cover guild business.

「Morning. Thanks for coming. First, about the plan to attract the Commercial Guild to Ares. Katolle, report.」

「Yes, Alan-sama. Yesterday Alan-sama negotiated with Silas-san, the Gantz guildmaster, and learned of a method to obtain a communications artifact by transferring one from an existing city, drastically reducing the wait—since the normal process takes years of screening, this approach will allow us to establish the guild in a much shorter time.」

「Oh? That may do, then,」 Lord Leister said.

In this atmosphere, having someone approve of this is a mercy.

「Silas-san recommended his daughter Arista-san for guildmaster, but Alan-sama refused and named my father Tarus instead. I’ll summon him at once. That is all.」

「「Ahem, ahem.」」

Pointed throat-clearing—Serena and Sharon, surely.
