Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 302: Operation Capture

The first baron to leave the city was very excited, but he reached the village where he had been asked to do nothing in particular.

Earlier, the guild seemed to have contacted him all in shape, but he didn't really take it in the village, and a large number of people were always surprised, and the elderly village chief apologized for the lack of readiness to accept it in a frightened manner, and he was definitely afraid.

Swordtooth soldiers are also accustomed to collective action, and when they borrowed one of the village's paintings, they used tents and such to create places like military commands from where they prepared them.

The tent for the Baron to stay is also built next to it, and if you look only there, it looks as if the battle is about to begin.

I was, by the way, the winged advisor to the Baron and Jilboa for attending operational meetings to observe and capture monsters.

"The request says there are a few goblins, and when they show up from the woods, villagers are attacked and several wounded. Luckily, there aren't any dead people out there."

"Hmm! That means a herd! I was hoping you could capture a few of them intact."

"Baron, I know it's hard to be intact. The opponent also has primitive but intelligence, so a simple trap can get away with it."

Goblins have fangs and limbs.

Particularly troublesome is the fact that there are hands like humans, and hanging traps with rope, etc. wield the nails of the hand, cut the rope, and deactivate it.

Often they have company, so if they cut the rope tied in the middle of a tree, they will still be deactivated.

I think it would be extraordinarily easier to chase out monsters in traps if there were metal wires and such like the original world, and it might be possible to manufacture tough ropes with some material in this world, but we don't have a companion today.

"It is the stone that rides in small numbers, after besieging caves and other places that are the nest of goblins. You can be powerless if you don't cut it off as much as possible and to the point of beating it up. The question is how to keep it connected..."

When I give you a stone and a problem, the baron smiles with a nymphomaniac smile.

"I thought that might happen! I've got some monster bracelets and chains!

and took it out was equipment like handcuffs with thick chains and primitive.

"If it were, you wouldn't be able to get away with it if you put it behind your back and put it in your leg."

Receive it and also guarantee Jilboa after pulling and checking strength all the way through.

I feel like I'm about to break into tears, but I won't have a problem with it for about a few hours.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Normally we would be heading right to the Goblin nest, but since the Baron wants to see the scene of the raid, we decided to break up and act on three squads: the squad searching for the Goblin nest, the squad defending the village, and the baron's honorable squad.

Naturally, I am the last squad.

Let the villagers guide you where you were raided, the baron will crouch down to the place and stop moving, and if you wonder if you are indeed writing something on the parchment paper at hand, at some point you are busy holding a stick like a rule in your hand and measuring the size of your footprint.

"How about it, Baron? Was there anything interesting about it?"

When I speak, the Baron...

"Um, Kenji, give me a hand!

and was told to assist with the work of counting the number of footprints or measuring the size of the footprints at the direction of the Baron.

"Goblins don't wear shoes, do they? You've got four toes left."

"Well, I've never read in the report that goblins in shoes,"

"I heard that you would use a stick or other weapon, but I don't think it would be strange to wear shoes. You don't even wear sandals, do you?

"I've never observed it in detail either, but maybe there's some kind of secret on the soles of my feet. You think hard hair is dense or that the skin on the soles of your feet is particularly thick? Or maybe he's smaller in stature and lighter in weight, so he's less burdened with the soles of his feet than a human being."

In response to the Baron's questions, I'll give you a few hypotheses.

As a result of the continued conversation we had during the journey from the city to the village, that pattern was perfectly up for the conversation between me and the Baron.

The baron has the qualities of a scholar, and what I think is that the baron doubts what is normal in the world, which is very naturally done.

On top of that, it goes straight through the raised questions and deepens them based on facts and observations, disregarding common sense and religious ethics.

No hypothesis can be thrown away from the beginning.

I've been enjoying intelligent questioning with the Baron for a long time in this world.
