This was an unthinkable state of affairs.

Having failed to prevent the staff from quitting en masse, the vice chief bolted to the guild chief’s home.

“Please! Open up! It’s terrible!”

“What’s all this noise about?” the guild chief grumbled.

The vice chief told him all about the walkout.

“Wh-What...?” the guild chief stammered, dropping his wine glass. “How dare they of all people defy me... This is an outrage!”

“Whatever shall we do? The impact this will have on our business—”

“Get other mages’ guilds to send over surplus staff. We’ll just scrape together as many as we need. I don’t care if they have experience or not; we’ll take them as long as they’re fit to work.”

“Y-Yes, sir!”

Soon, the vice chief was using his connections to get in touch with other guilds.

“Our workforce just suddenly up and left us. Can we ask you to send a few reinforcements?” he’d ask, but much to his chagrin, the other guilds’ representatives threw their weight around, quite pleased with the positive impact on their own business.

Not a single guild was willing to honor their request.

“What can we do?” the vice chief asked the guild chief. “The deadline...”

“Stock up on finished articles from other guilds. We can just change the labels and sell them on the black market.”

“But won’t that cause other problems?”

“Not if nobody finds out. Even if we lose some deals, it won’t matter. We just need the contract with Archduke Oswald and the marquis.”

“You’re right, sir. If the crystal balls are the only things we need to make ourselves, we’ll manage.”

“Even that useless girl could do it. There’s no way it’ll cause us any trouble.”

The two of them got to work, but it didn’t come along as smoothly as they had imagined.

“How many minutes has it been?”

“Two hours, sir.”

“Two hours?! That’s all you’ve managed to do in that time?”

“My apologies. Making crystal balls is harder than I thought...” the vice chief said, hanging his head. “How many have you finished, sir?”

“Shut up and get back to work.”

The sun went down. It was the middle of the night, and they still weren’t finished.

“Do not go to sleep. Fall asleep and I’ll kill you,” the guild chief snapped. “We can’t afford to miss the deadline.”

“I understand. Just think of what would happen if we don’t get this done in time.”

They struggled on, working as hard as they could, but even after they got the hang of it, it still seemed like they were making no progress.

Strange, the vice chief thought. If it takes this long just to make one, how on earth did we manage to produce so many in a day...?

The guild chief had the same doubts. “Do you think that little girl really managed to make so many crystal balls every day, all by herself?”

“I believe so.” The vice chief nodded. “She was the only one with that job.”

“Just her? Are you sure? She didn’t have anybody else helping her, right?”

“That’s correct. In fact, I heard people say that she even helped out others who were lagging behind with their work.
