Both of them nodded in harmony.
Then Ill use it to rebuild our guild.
They both looked at , bewildered.
After a few monts Kasha muttered, Heh. We wont be able to change Tays decision.
Yeah. Lets just proceed with the plan we made earlier.
Huh? What plan?
A plan., Sain replied.
I tilted my head thinking that Sain would reply but she just ignored it.
Then Kasha suddenly spoke up, I will help too.
I see, Ms. Kasha is quick to notice.
Ive been thinking about it recently as well.
They looked at each others faces and smiled without telling a single thing.
Whatre they talking about? Must be sothing trivial. At least I can use this money to construct the guild.
***
Dirk went through the ledger several tis and then lent out a worn out sigh while looking up at the ceiling.
Its falling apart like this.
***
The circumstances of the Wyvern Guild are worse than I thought.
You dont even need to look at the numbers, one can say that just after visiting the lobby. All the receptionists are standing idly without nothing to do. None of the high rank adventurers are coming in. Though thats a good thing considering the current situation.
The number of quests requests coming to the guild has fallen down dramatically.
First the Siris chamber then the Hagnut Guilds achievents in the S-class quest. All of it worked against us. Now, only the Hagnut guild is commissioned for quests; not only in Kelk city but almost all the requests from other regions go to the Hagnut Guild.
Thanks to that even Guild master Von has lost his mind.
Ill just have to contact Zen.
Its been less than a week since I last contacted Zen.
Hes one of the only connections that the Wyvern Guild has left. The only one who can put in a quest request. Thinking about that I went out to et Zen.
As the Deputy Guild master of the Wyvern Guild, I didnt even need an appointnt to et Zen, I could do that anyti if Zen didnt have an exceptionally busy schedule.
Deacon Zen?
A butler I saw for the first ti asked in a rather confused voice.
I nodded and said, Yes.
Hes no longer the butler.
Haha.
At first I thought that he was joking. However, that person was dead serious.
Dont you know? He was stripped of his title and then thrown out of the mansion near naked.
What, what? Why?
I dont know it very well, but it seems that he hard the heir of this estate. Its a miracle that hes still alive.
A sudden chill ran up my spine and questions flooded my mind.
Thrown out? We just t a few days ago? Who did it? No, wait.
Then I rembered that a few days prior to my visit Zen had a eting with the Hagnut Guild.
He must have been there. Taylor Mason.
In just a few days.
Before saying anything unnecessary I composed myself and asked, Well, what about the new butler?
For the ti being the Lord will work himself.
Then let have a eting with the Lord!
At that, the butler just smiled with pity. Its been a while since I was treated as a crazy guy.
With Zen gone, the Wyvern Guilds food supply was completely cut-off.
I just returned to the guild after that.
There I received the news that the Hagnut Guild rented the site of the forr Siris warehouse. And that the renovations had already begun.
With that the additional hope I had was also lost.
Challenging the Hagnut Guild was a mistake.
***
The Hagnut Guilds renovations had begun.
I was the head of the HR team, so my main job No, besides my job as the receptionist, I was also busy overseeing the construction process. During my off tis.
I told Sain, Sain. Ill head there first. I want to make sure everything is proceeding smoothly.
Ah yes. You go there everyday anyway.
I have to make sure that everything is being constructed according to the plans.
In my previous life, I had experienced office relocation and interior work twice.
Even if the construction itself is done by the company, there are many things that get twisted if soone from the clients side doesnt visit the site regularly. So I was wondering why Sain wasnt worried about that. Knowing my bosss personality she should be the most worried one.
Is Ms. Sain not going to go today?
Of course, she also went to the construction site but the frequency of her visits were way lower than mine.
Then Sain replied with an apologetic expression, Sorry, I have so other things to do today.
She had recently started behaving like this.
Without asking anything else I just opened the register.
[17 hours ago: Completed the purchase of a first-class mansion in Arin district.]
[Concerns: I wonder which kind of furniture will be good.]
With that all of my doubts were cleared.
Sain was shifting to a different house.
She was no longer the leader of the once shabby Hagnut Guild. Now, the Hagnut Guild was the top guild in all of Kelk city. After such an achievent its only natural that youd want to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
I thought that it was a bit early but I decided to head to the site.
Even though Sain was so young, she had to endure countless hardships till now, she deserves so rest now.
Like that I organized my thoughts as I was heading towards the door.
Then suddenly, the guild door was slamd open.
Sain! Im back.
The door is broken.
No it isnt, I didnt slam it that hard.
So you admit that you slamd it open.
Didnt you just hear the sound that it made?
Kasha ignored my question and ran swiftly towards Sain, and then whispered to her.
I found a good place. Its just a little bit far, is that okay?
Yeah. Sure it is.
This ti, I checked Kashas personnel records.
[15 hours ago: Sain asked her to search for shops with decent furniture.]
[8 hours ago: Went around the whole of Kelk city and found a few shops.]
Youre not even doing a quest!
No, lets be a bit more patient.
Like Sain, Kasha works hard for the guild, she also deserves a bit of free ti.
After a while, the two looked at strangely and went outside.
I got busy with my work after those two left. How far did the construction proceed today?
***
After three months the new Hagnut Guild was finally complete.
During those three months I supervised the interviews for the recruitnt of new employees and in the end I was the one who selected the final candidates. Everyone was ready to work on the day of reopening and the number of employees nearly doubled.
Victory.
There were no other words that could describe the Hagnut Guilds current condition, more than this.
The night before the opening of the new guild. I was walking Sain to her ho.
Suddenly, Sain said, Its finally tomorrow.
All the furniture and supplies had already been moved to the new building. On our way Sain handed over the keys to the forr building as well.
Are you excited? I asked.
Id be lying if I said no. But you were the one who worked the most.
I just did what I had to do.
Haha, since when did receptionists start supervising construction sites?
We just kept on walking while conversing about how things changed a lot in the last year.
We reached the crossroad where I was supposed to leave Sain, it was fairly close to her place. So it was a safe place to leave her.
Then, have a comfortable night.
Mr. Tay. Wait.
Huh?
Theres sothing that I want to show you. Can you co with ?
I quietly nodded in agreent. Sain took the lead after that.
After silently walking for about 20 minutes we reached Arin district. The place where the richest of the nobles of Kelk city lived. Beautiful mansions were erected everywhere.
Sain stopped in front of a beautiful mansion like them.
Here. She said.
This was the house that Ms. Sain had moved to.
I shrugged once and said, Its a bit late, but, congratulations.
Heh?
You didnt say anything so I stayed silent as well. Did you move Sain?
Is it housewarming today? It seems a bit late for that.
Sain looked at with a blank face, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Ahaha!
This was the first ti I saw Sain laugh like that.
After a few monts Sain looked at , wiping the tears from her eyes.
Youre a little dull. Mr. Tay.
What?
I was worried that Mr. Tay wouldve noticed it. Its rather good that you didnt.
[Jingle]
Sain handed sothing. It was a pack of keys.
I couldnt accept it and looked at her blankly.
Then, in a playful voice she said, What are you doing? Take it.
And what would I need them for?
Theyre house keys, youd need them to enter a house.
Mr. Tay. I know youve been staying in the inn room. From now on, stay here.
At that mont, I realized sothing.
This woman, she she doesnt give incentives, salary increases, treatnt improvents or promotions, etc.
But rather she was giving a house.
Our guild has grown this much only because of Mr. Tay.
I always knew I had to do sothing in return. Actually, I want to do sothing even greater, but I fear this is my limit.
Sain.
Take it. Hurry. My arms are starting to hurt.
I slowly reached out and took the keys. I couldnt say anything for a while. This is the first ti sothing like this happened to .
A few minutes later I slowly opened my mouth, hoping that my voice didnt crack, I said, If you give too much preferential treatnt to an employee, it can lead to a dispute among the other employees
Huh.
Sain just stood there, laughing without answering my question.
Why are you laughing?
Because Mr. Lir was right. He did say that youd say sothing like that.
My eyes were wide open, What do you an?
Everyone else already knows about this.
Its true that our guild is gaining a lot of money, but I still cant do sothing like this alone. All of this was decided in a eting when Mr. Tay was out supervising the construction site.
She looked straight into my eyes and continued. You know what I an, right? I am not the only one whos grateful to Mr. Tay.
All the basic furniture and supplies are in there. Please bring your remaining possessions from the inn yourself.
She was a little cold towards the end, but after telling everything she took my hand and gave a warm handshake.
I just stared blankly at my hands, not knowing what to say.
Thank you very much. For the upcoming future as well. Thank you very much.
Yeah. I blankly replied.
Then have a comfortable night.
She then turned and walked away.
I just stood there like a log for a while, then opened the door with the keys and went in.
The house was in a neat state, as if it had already been cleaned repeatedly. The necessary furniture was there as well
This is closer to my taste than that of Sains.
Kasha and Sain must have pondered a lot to match them with things Id like.
On the table, there was a bottle of so expensive looking alcohol. I poured myself a cup and stood by the window. The moonlight was shining through the window creating a wonderful atmosphere within the house.
There was one year when I blocked the Departnt of Labor audits, improved the recruitnt and evaluation system, and established several welfare systems as well. That year, I was selected as an excellent employee and received a reward of 1 million won.
A mansion and 1 million won.
Is there anything to compare?
I muttered, shining the glass in the moonlight, Cheers to the best job.
