Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 233: Even if you can't use magic.

"Nothing? 'Cause..."

I stopped Sarah from coming in tears.

In the daytime office, I'm worried about people.

"Well, calm down. So far, just in case. It's a story that accumulates a number of hypotheses: nobility will interfere, and we will use magicians, and that nobility's intelligence collection and analysis will be perfect, and they will come after me. Besides, the information that the Cardinal will be wearing the pioneer's shoes should not be so widespread."

Yes, I persuaded Sarah, but I wasn't very convinced myself.

I asked several workshops to send me drawings and in kind to find out the size of the Cardinal's feet, so I would have realized something was going on.

I hope Priest Niccolò and Michelino Sacrifice disguise their purpose and destination.

You're winning the power struggle within the Church, so you should expect that much intelligence.

But the chances of it happening are low, but we need to be prepared for the worst. That's crisis management.

"Right... here's what we'll do, for example"

I close the office door and then I take out the sheath of my sword in the room, swinging it parallel to the floor at hip height, towards a space of nothing.

Repeat that a few times before turning back to Sarah, who is stunned.

"Even if we were using magic to keep ourselves invisible, we wouldn't be gone from there. Thus, if you check when you enter the room, it means that at least you are safe in the room. Well, rest easy."

Then, combine the metal pieces and leather strings that were at the desk to create an impromptu songko.

"Hang these things in the open and closed parts of the office, workshop doors, windows or something. If there's a sound, but no one's there, it's evidence of an intrusion. Then I swing the stick around. If only we could see him that way, the Sword Tooth Guards would do something about it."

Place the impromptu Naruto on your desk and turn back to Sarah.

"All we have to do is take action if we are led to think, but this is all we have to do to keep an eye on each other. If you're uncomfortable with what they're doing, we'll have to ask why. I hate to do this, but it's a short time to reveal, I just need you to be patient."

So far, we're talking about consolidating the office's protection. Hopefully, I want another one on the outside, a line of defense.

"And then ask the folks on Leather Street to help too? Let me know if there's anyone else you don't see."

When I said that, Sarah asked.

"But you have no idea what their faces are, do you?

I answer with a guess.

"Yeah. But the guys called Mages have been training in magic since they were kids, and they haven't really worked out their bodies," he said. It would have a thin appearance compared to adventurers full of manual workers and folks on leather streets. Besides, the guy who makes killing a living has a unique darkness. A mage with a nobleman would be wealthy, and a good person, there. If a guy comes into the leather street with dark eyes, thin bodies, and a figure there, he should stand out. Think normally, there's no sudden coming to assassinate me. A few times, you should come scouting. You can't use magic like this to make people look different on a leather street. "

That much said, Sarah relieved herself a little or her stomach rang small.

"Well, do you want to make a songko early tonight? Dinner before that. What do you want?

When I heard that, I blushed a little.

"White bread! I'd say, but I can't say it's starting now. Let the aunt next door make you a stew!

and smiled.
