Eraso, the captain of the party to which Artoo belonged, was summoned to the guild master's room alone.
"... Guilmas. What can I do for you?
"Yes, Eraso. I have something important to tell you about the future of our guild.
When Captain Eraso heard that he was going to be told something important, he grinned inwardly, thinking that he had finally made it this far.
Once upon a time, Captain Eraso's party was an ordinary party.
However, since just two years ago, their performance has been improving, and before they know it, they have become one of the leading parties in the guild.
As the captain of the ace party, Guillermouth had given me something important to talk about.
My guild is doing well right now. Our guild is in good shape right now, and it's all thanks to your efforts.
Yes, thank you.
But it's only when we're doing well that we have to keep our heads up.
You're right, Guillermo.
There you go. I'm going to take this opportunity to restructure.
"Restructure ..."?
That's right. The incompetent ones will not be able to stay in this guild. That's what everyone needs to know.
"I see. That's a great idea. So what are the targets?
Have each captain choose one.
Yes, sir.
This will let everyone know that our guild is a merit-based guild, and we'll be able to grow even more.
That's a great idea, ...!
And Captain Eraso. Captain Eraso, I heard that the trials for transferring to the Knight School will be held soon.
Really? It's a unique opportunity.
If you become a knight, our guild will also benefit. I'll do my best to support you and encourage you to train harder.
"Yes, ... Guilmas!
†.
In Captain Eraso's mind, he had already decided who to restructure.
He gathered the members of the party and declared.
"Hey, Alto. You're fired today.
The members of the party, including Artoo, rolled their eyes at Captain Elasor's words.
"..., I'm fired?
I'm not sure what to say.
The guild master's orders were to restructure the incompetent. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
... It's true that I have no skills, but I've been improving my skills lately.
I've been working as an adventurer for two years. You've been working as an adventurer for two years and you're still a novice. It's just no skills.
It was true that Artoo's skill level was still at a low level.
This is the reason why it's important for you to have a good idea of what you're doing.
I'm not sure what to say. Get out now!
"...!!!
This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.
He had to hold back his anger and leave the place in silence.
I'm sure you'll understand. I don't want any incompetents in my party!
--And. After Artoo walked away.
"Yes, Captain?
One of the lower-ranking members walked up to him.
What's up?
You did all the chores for the rest of the party and buffed everyone up. Are you sure you want him to quit?
However, the captain brushed off his subordinate's words.
But the captain brushed aside his subordinate's words, "What a foolish thing to say. Anyone can do chores. There's no need to hire a no-skill person! If we hire someone who isn't no-skilled, the buffs will be stronger!
The captain snapped at him and his subordinates shriveled up.
"... Oh, that's rude ....
"Alright you guys! You can't stay in this guild if you're weak! Keep that in mind!
