Chapter 79

The sudden intruder was a beautiful woman with her flaxen hair braided.

She must be around twenty years old. She is a cool and composed woman with a serious demeanor.

"Who are you?"

Tex, speaking on behalf of the group, questioned the intruder.

"I am Amanda Law, an employee of the Recovery Guild. I oppose Leda Dixon setting up a clinic. If you want a clinic, wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask the healers already practicing in this town?"

"Huh?"

"Wait a minute! An employee of the Recovery Guild has no business in this meeting! Please leave immediately!"

"That's not possible. I apologize for interrupting your meeting, but if the content involves Leda Dixon, I cannot stand by and do nothing."

"Hey, you, you seem to have a real problem with Leda. What did he do?"

As if she had been waiting for this question, Amanda puffed out her chest.

"He is a rogue healer who is not affiliated with the Recovery Guild. We, the Recovery Guild, do not approve of favoring him and neglecting other healers who have contributed to the town for a long time!"

"Hah, contributed... You're a real laugh."

Amanda glared at Tex, who laughed through his nose. However, he said clearly without hesitation.

"Nothing, I just want to know how they've contributed to this town."

"You make it sound like they haven't contributed at all."

"Let me tell you, miss. We, whether from the Guild, adventurers, or merchants, are people who are prepared to lay our bones in this town of Amrus. We're telling you, the healers you're talking about haven't contributed anything to this town."

"---What?"

"Besides, you call Leda a rogue, but there's no obligation for healers to be affiliated with the Recovery Guild, right?"

At Tex's words, everyone except Amanda nodded in agreement. While most healers are affiliated with the Recovery Guild, there is no obligation to do so. There are healers among priests and adventurers who are not affiliated with the Recovery Guild. Therefore, Amanda and her colleagues have no right to call Leda a "rogue."

"Yes, yes, there isn't. However, healers are informally affiliated with the guild."

"That's not true for everyone. Oh, I see. You want to increase the number of affiliates to get more donations, right?"

"---! Are you mocking us!? If we wanted to, we could prevent Leda Dixon from calling himself a healer!"

It was a clear threat. However, no one in the room would back down from such a threat.

"Let me tell you, if that's the case, we'll have Leda call himself a doctor. We can even create a new term, 'recovery specialist,' if you like."

"What nonsense!"

"He's a fine person who doesn't care about titles! Leda treats us not because he's a healer, but because he's Leda!"

Millet glared at Amanda with anger. They stared each other down, and it was clear that they were both so agitated that they might come to blows at any moment.

"Leda Dixon doesn't have the proper awareness of being a healer because he doesn't know about the Recovery Guild. This is all because you, the Adventurers' Guild, adventurers, and the Commercial Alliance, are trying to use him for your own convenience and exploit him!"

Amanda spat out her words with frustration.

"I do not approve of him treating people with fees that neglect other healers. However, he lacks the proper awareness and is also ignorant. If we correct these issues, he won't be used by you. It is my duty to correct him!"
