Subject and beneficiary of 〜くれる


I can't completely understand the meaning of くれる in the following dialogues.
In the first example, if I'm understanding, it is something like this:

> せっかく **ミストリアはエルドに** こう言ってくれているんだし

So the one who gains something is エルド and the subject is ミストリア.

In the second dialogue my loose translation is - "I would be satisfied if by
using this barter shop, you would gain even more than you expect".

However I can't completely understand; does 主人公 gain even more profit
(想定の上をいって), but thankful (くれた) for it will be 店長?

1st dialogue

> ミストリア「私が決めていいのならば・・・・・・」
>
> ミストリア「エルド、お前の好きに指示を出して見てはどうだ」
>
> エルド「えぇ！？」
>
> ラヴィリエ「へえ、それは面白そうね」
>
> エルド「ラヴィリエまで」
>
> ラヴィリエ「せっかくこう **言ってくれている** んだし、お言葉に甘えてみたら？いざという時にわたしたちでどうにかするから」

2nd dialogue

> 店長「ここを預かる者としては、お前のような存在にこそこの地を活用して欲しいと思っているのも事実」
>
> 店長「どこぞの勇者と呼ばれるような奴には、ここなど何の価値もない場所かもしれんしな」
>
> 店長「この交換所を利用することで想定の上を **いってくれた** なら本望だ」
>
> 主人公「頑張ります。」




くれる, as an auxiliary verb, indicates that the main verb action is done for the
speaker or that the speaker is grateful.

> せっかくミストリアが君（のため）にこう言ってくれているんだし

I'd say the best explanation here is that the speaker ラヴィリエ takes the point of
view of エルド, or that she(?) emphasizes with him. ミストリア is saying it for the
good of エルド.

> この交換所を利用することで想定の上をいってくれたなら本望だ

想定の上を行く does not have the 主人公 as the subject, but it will (hopefully) be
caused by him (or her).

It benefits the speaker (店長) in some way, tangible (physically) or intangible
(emotionally).

He says he would be glad if the weaker 主人公 were to use the 交換所, and not some
どこぞの勇者, who is already strong enough and couldn't make good use of it anyways.
He lets him use the shop, which he hopes will allow the 主人公 to claim a rank in
the tournament to be proud of.

He might get part of the price money if the 主人公 does well. But money probably
isn't the only thing that interests him and he's also proud of his shop and
glad he found somebody who can make good use of his shop and services. If the
主人公 gets a good rank, the 店長 will be proud too. And it might get him some free
PR.

At any rate it benefits the 店長 as he clearly says he wants it for some reason.
