Finally, Milette reached her limit at the arrogant opinion.
"Don't joke around!"
For Milette, who was not only close to Reta but also to his daughters Luna and Mina, the suspicion that someone was trying to use Reta was something she could not tolerate.
"I don't mind you making money, you Recovery Guild. Honestly, I think you should do as you please. But don't try to make a good person like Reta part of your group that preys on people! You say we are using him, but aren't you the ones trying to use him!"
"What! You talk as you please when I'm listening quietly!"
"Where did you listen quietly!"
"That's enough!"
The loud voice, like thunder, made the women who were arguing stop in their tracks.
The speaker was the Guild Master, Rang.
He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and looked at Amanda.
"I have something to say to you too, but I'll keep quiet for now. Milette, you need to be calmer."
"I'm sorry."
"Now, Lord Amanda, I would like you to leave this place."
"…What?"
"I said, leave. We are holding a meeting to build a clinic for Reta for the sake of this town. You might think we are using Reta, and indeed, we do rely on him, and it's hard to argue against the claim that we are using him."
"Then!"
"But! He is an adventurer! He belongs to the Adventurer's Guild, and we pay him a treatment fee within a range he agrees to. In other words, there is no need for your Recovery Guild to be involved."
If Reta had any complaints about the Adventurer's Guild, the situation might be different.
But that is not the case.
The relationship between the Adventurer's Guild and Reta is friendly.
Neither has any complaints.
Therefore, there is no reason for the Recovery Guild to meddle.
"Is it not because Reta Dixon doesn't know much about the Recovery Guild and healers? That's why he is being used and is content with it. Isn't that right!?"
The Recovery Guild staff often speak to the Adventurer's Guild Master with a fearless attitude, which, in a way, impresses the Texes.
"Then, you should speak to him directly. If he hears about the Recovery Guild and healers from you and decides he wants to leave the Adventurer's Guild and doesn't want a clinic, we will have to consider it. But for now, you are just causing a fuss on your own."
"…Are you insulting me?"
"I'm just stating the facts. I want to make sure you understand that he is our comrade, our neighbor, and our family. We help each other, but we never think of using anyone."
"…Family? What nonsense!"
"I have nothing more to say to you. Please leave. Or do you want to be forced out?"
"Fine. I'll back down for today. But once Reta Dixon learns the truth about us, he will turn his back on you."
Milette responded to Amanda, who continued to say what she wanted until the end.
"We know Reta is not that kind of person. Please leave now!"
"Hmph. Then, let's make it clear. I look forward to seeing you beg the healers who were mistreated and rejected by Reta Dixon."
With that, Amanda left the meeting room.
Milette glared at her until she was gone.
Then, she exploded.
"What is she! Suddenly showing up and saying whatever she wants!"
"She's quite a girl. She really believes the Recovery Guild and healers are wonderful, so it's no wonder she's surprised."
"Absolutely, she doesn't realize healers are disliked! Her head is full of flowers!"
Milette's anger did not seem to subside easily.
She was furious that someone who didn't know Reta could speak so freely.
"Well, if she cared about being disliked by others, she wouldn't be able to work at the Recovery Guild."
"Maybe. --Ah!"
"What is it?"
"Nothing, it's just that the Guild Master told that woman to talk to Reta… with that attitude, she might just show up at Reta's place."
"…Oh no, that's not good! I don't think Reta will be swayed by the Recovery Guild, but we should at least let him know the trouble is coming."
"What should we do!?"
"There's no choice. I'll go. Continue the meeting without me."
"Understood. Please take care of Reta, Tex."
"Sure thing."
Tex, who responded to the worried Milette, exchanged glances with the Guild Master and Ehrich, then hurried out of the meeting room.
"I hope we can stop her in time."
"Let's hope so. …I should go and apologize later."
"Ah, you realize you said something unnecessary?"
"It's not unnecessary. That Recovery Guild staff, Amanda, wouldn't have solved anything by speaking about Reta in his absence. As the Adventurer's Guild, it's best if Reta himself rejects the Recovery Guild."
"Reta won't move to the Recovery Guild!"
Milette was certain.
The values of the Recovery Guild and healers, who make high demands on people, and Reta, who treats people without complaint, are completely different.
Therefore, no matter what Amanda says, Reta won't be swayed.
Most of all, she doesn't think Amanda can persuade Reta with her high-handed manner.
However, as an Adventurer's Guild staff member, she feels responsible for the new trouble that is heading towards the busy Reta.
