Meanwhile, in the guild master's room on the top floor of the adventurer's guild, Riley was unsurprisingly being grumbled at by Vivian.
"Alright, alright, it's my fault, okay?" Riley conceded, "I was just trying to lend you a hand. How did it end up like this?"
The head of the Lamijion Adventurer Guild wore a helpless expression, likely already dreading Vivian's persistent complaints.
But Vivian maintained her stance.
"No matter what, this is an internal matter of our team. You forcing your way in doesn't bode well for you, does it?"
Vivian was still holding onto her grievance.
Yet, Vivian wasn't entirely wrong.
"If, as the guild master, you casually interfere with the affairs of adventurer teams, especially something as sensitive as payment, and rumors of it are spread by someone with an agenda, other adventurer teams might start harboring a distance from you. Is that alright?"
Vivian expressed her concerns.
This wasn't an exaggeration.
