Unveiling and Developing

“Thank you all very much for gathering here today. I hope we can use this roundtable for discussion in a relaxed manner.” Respectful of today’s guests, Guido kicked off the meeting in a rather polite manner—not to say that he was ordinarily quite rude.

Despite his best wishes, it was nigh impossible for Dahlia to relax. This was the Scalfarottos’ villa, or Volf’s estate. Unfortunately, he himself was absent—yesterday, giant boars had attacked a caravan carrying fruit along the highway, so the Beast Hunters had been dispatched to tackle the problem. He had sent a note saying that he was “going to make some delicious bacon”; Dahlia wasn’t worried, and she had tried some herself—it truly was delicious. Maybe she ought to pray for the boars’ souls, just as she had done for the armored crabs days earlier.

Sitting together at this round table for this roundtable were Guido, Jonas, Ivano, and Dahlia; that much was natural, as this was partly for the Rossetti Trading Company to meet with the Scalfarotto Family Weapons Development Team. However, it was perplexing that the other members were here.

Beside Guido was Bernigi, the gray-haired elderly man from the field training, who had introduced himself as a former vice-captain of the Beast Hunters’ and as former Marquis D’Orazi—that last part had made Dahlia turn pale. He had pleasantly greeted her and thanked her again for the other day. The others were shocked that the two were already acquainted, but it wasn’t the right time and place to go into details. She couldn’t help but wince at how rude she had been, as well as at the Goddess of Athlete’s Foot and Galeforce Bow bits.

Continuing on, there was Leone Jedda, Guildmaster of the Merchants’; Augusto Scarlatti, Vice-Guildmaster of the Adventurers’; Idaealina Nicoletti, Chief Researcher at the slime farm; Viscount Fortunato Luini, Guildmaster of the Tailors’; and Lucia Fano, Head Manager of the Magical Garment Factory. This was supposed to be an “internal meeting” with the Weapons Development Team to discuss the viscoelastic material made with yellow slime, yet inexplicably assembled here were the former head of a marquisate and the top brass of various guilds. Dahlia was so tense that a frog seemed to be hopping in her throat, and the fragrant black tea that the maid had served her seemed to be too much for her stomach right now.

After a round of simple introductions, a smiling Ivano distributed sheets of parchment. “This here is the Rossetti Trading Company’s emblem.” One was in color, the other a monochromatic stamp; Dahlia was uneasy having her design displayed, though the others smiled and nodded in approval.

“Is this your own design, Dahlia?” Leaning over and whispering was Lucia, who smiled from ear to ear when Dahlia replied in the affirmative. “It’s very you two.”

“It’s who now?”

“Oh, the red flower is you and the black dog is Sir Volf, isn’t it? Since when did he join the company anyway?”

Petrification in three, two, one. Once Dahlia understood the situation, she tried her damnedest to quietly explain herself.
