Litty Watches the New Beginnings of the Martial Guild

The Martial Guild was busier than ever. The guild received a flood of applicants to join.

Not only adventurers, but also ordinary citizens. Among them were those who had left the guild in the past.

“Branch manager, we apologize for leaving without any notice!”

“What’s going on here?”

“We saw Aida and the others during the sword rats subjugation task. We were impressed… At the same time, we also felt that we missed an important opportunity.”

“So you guys want to rejoin?”

The adventurers all offered Duggam their registration fees, but Duggam did not accept it.

“I have already received it.”

“But…”

“I return registration fees when someone quits, but you guys left without saying anything.”

Duggam saved the money he received from them in case they came back at any time, or if they asked him to return the money.

Aida and the others had only recently learned that Duggam had been earning money from somewhere else, without ever touching the funds from the students.

“So everyone’s back.”

“Aida, I’m sorry. I didn’t try my best.”

“It’s fine. You just have to stick with it. I’m sure the Branch Manager Duggam will approve of you.”

“I hope so…”

“That’s right! You can do this, don’t give up!”

Aida feared that this announcement might cause the prospective members to shy away from joining the guild, but Litty was already on the move.

She was making the ordinary people, who had no experience of fighting, learn simple movements. The previous Duggam would have threatened her, but now he just groaned.

“Hey, I’ll have to think a bit about whether or not to train ordinary people and how to train them.”

“Branch Manager, in the Archer guild, ordinary people are allowed to use learner archery casually. I think it would be a good idea to do the same here.”

“But Litty, we are not the Archer guild.”

“We will first let them learn the joy of physical exercise, and if they want to progress further and want to become strong like Aida-san and the others, the branch manager should show no mercy in their training.”

“Mm…”

This was the conclusion Litty came up with after helping Kuufa in the Archer guild. She thought it would be good to let them try first and see how much fun it was to improve.

Litty believed that this would result in a positive outcome.

“Surely, I couldn’t just start throwing people who have no fighting experience. I’ll give it some thought.”

“No problems. Just teach them gently in the beginning.”

Litty added to Duggam’s somewhat misplaced conclusion. Litty didn’t want Duggam to train halfheartedly, but she also didn’t want newcomers to quit too soon because of excessive training.

Trying to adhere strictly to the “be gentle” part, Duggam awkwardly started explaining to the prospective members.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, an uninvited guest walked through the gate.

“It’s quite lively today, isn’t it?”

“No one who is neither a prospective member nor a visitor ain’t welcome here!”

“Mya-myan!”

Litty stood in front of Baider’s group, arms crossed. When prospective members saw Baider, they immediately understood he was up to no good. He was notorious for making people evict their places.

“What are you doing here!”

“You want to evict this place as well? Go waste your time somewhere else.”

“Get out of here!”

“You, you bastards…!”

Baider flinched at the storm of boos.
