Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 137: The Wave of Reports

Nicolo, the priest, opened his eyes and urged us to sit on the couch, as he had woken from his dreams.

"Kenji, do you know what this report has brought"

"No, to me, a commoner..." That's good. Say what you think. "

I tried to cloud the words, but Nicolo blocked them like they were irritating.

It doesn't seem acceptable to hit the run. I have no choice.

"Perhaps the heat of territorial development will increase among the nobles. It also comes from the house of a large nobleman with wealth and a conspicuous minister"

"Come on. The move has already begun. But there's nothing we can do to move things around."

"Does it look like it," I try to answer unexpectedly.

"It seems so," Nicolo goes on, not even funny.

Apart from the fact that we can see reason from the report and the difficulty of actually operating it.

There is nothing understandable about how noble civilians handle requests to adventurers in the field, and they will be struggling.

Even in this city, I had to start by getting rid of the garbage from the Guild Warehouse and throwing it away. Naturally, that is not written in the report.

"You were writing about the criteria for organizing adventurer requests. Change the priority of the request based on profits and costs."

"Yes, indeed," he replied, feeling something at stake in its tone and atmosphere. I'll find out where the questions go. In short, what are you trying to say?

"Previous requests were determined by power, cost and date. But you insist in your report that we turn it into a criterion of how to increase the value of land. In fact, we ran the Adventurer Guild as per that report, and profited as well"

"Yes," I mean, what are you trying to say?

"This is taken as a partial denial of the nobles' right to order with regard to the request. Also, assessing the value of the land can be accepted as an intervention in the right to tax"

"Such an intent..." I don't care whether you have that intent or not "

And blocked again. You like to block people's stories, this guy.

"Some of the noblemen that development does not leave to their will have turned to the claim of pulling people's feet in that way. But that's a minority. Many nobles are moving to enrich their own territory. So, you know what's going on?

"We don't have enough people to pioneer farmland."

"Uhm. And then?

Somehow, I'm finding out where this question is going.

"Insufficient Adventurers and Manpower"

"Right. And then?"

"The cost of hiring people goes up and you lack money"

After I answered that, I realized what the man in front of me intended.

"So the Cardinal and you were in this city to lend the Count some money for development."

"That's right. You took a long time to get to the right answer. Well, it's also true that I wanted to see the person who caused this."

That being said, for the first time Nicolo crooked his hobby and nodded slowly

"By the way, Kenji and I did. Aren't you willing to be a priest?

That's what I said with a serious face.
