Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 117: Adventurer Guild Purpose

First, share information from the basics. Because there is no effective explanation without checking their understanding.

"First, I want to think about the purpose of the Adventurer Alliance. Sarah, what do you think is the purpose of the Adventurer Alliance?

"Helping adventurers, right?

Sarah answers.

"From the adventurer, don't look that way."

First, affirm what they say. In fact, Sarah is not saying the wrong thing.

I just want her to change her perspective a little bit, so I'll add another question.

"So if you look at it from the nobles who run the Adventurer's Guild, what's the purpose of the Adventurer's Guild?

"Er...?

Sarah began to bother hersome with her arms in the way that she had never thought about it before.

Wait a little while until I give you an answer. Because I want her to have a lot of worries.

"Hmm... from your nobles, do you want monster material?

"There's that too. Other things, when monsters are swept away, traffic between cities becomes safer, and the rest of the city's merchandise becomes cheaper. If the monster is swept away, the land will also expand to explore the countryside, with more territory and lots of taxes"

"Right. I've heard that my village is a new one for my grandfather."

"I mean, basically, the Adventurer Guild is a business for the nobles to profit from. In a cold way, I use a tool called Adventurer to make a profit: land and taxes."

Sarah agreed reluctantly.

"You will. It's on my mind, though."

"So the nobles want to use the tool of adventurer as cheaply as possible. And I want you to crusade as many monsters as you can and spread the safe land. So far, what do you think?

Sarah nodded, so I'll ask another point of view.

"Just didn't you get another impression about the managerial position of the Double Jaw Adventurer Guild we met the other day?

Sarah answered with a smile on her face.

"Right. I felt like I didn't want to work as much as I could."

"Right. From a managerial position like theirs, even if the adventurer's achievements improve, it doesn't mean that they will receive more profits, and it pisses me off from the kingdoms and nobles who manage the business when they pay more for the adventurer. I think that's what's going on."

Sarah tried to speak analogously to farmland and farming because she didn't seem to really understand the concept of an organization called interim management.

"Suppose Sarah was a small writer. And the landlord will be entrusted with the field. There's only one tool you can lend me. If the tools break, I have to pay for the repairs myself. At the end of the season, I get a bag of wheat. No matter how much you reap in the field, the rewards you get go hand in hand. What about Sarah?

"I'll work hard!," he answered with his chest stretched, continuing.

"But... well, maybe you won't be very motivated. Something similar in the original village, but the landlord used to give extra wheat during the abundance"

"Right. If you think normally, you do. Besides, don't you want to move to another landlord if you want to work at such an asshole landlord's place?

"Well, you'll want to move to a good landlord who lends you a field on better terms."

"What if some craftsman comes to make the tools better for free?

"Naturally, I'd be happy to have tools in place."

"What if someone introduces us to other good landowners?

"I'd really like to introduce you to that."

I'll ask you like a prank.

"What if we were the ones who put the tools in place and introduced us to the other good landlords?

Sarah answered, with a full smile.

"I'm sure the little writer will start to appreciate and peck!
