Helping with Adventurer Party Management

At the banquet, naturally, we weren't just eating.

Sarah was obsessed with white bread and meat, but I was asked to explain why I took on the deputy, even though it was a situation that I could not refuse to share with the shoe business shareholder called Swordtooth Soldiers.

"So, what do you think made you deputize?

Jilboa's words were soft, but his gaze sharp.

Even though it is a feast with friends, it just feels like the conversation involves something political, because we are emerging from each other to be able to take a stand?

But fortunately, even if we change our positions, our interests are in agreement.

So far, though.

"As Jilboa knows, I've been working on my previous business because I want to do something about the adventurers' runaways. Adventurer consultation, shopping companionship with the runaways, shoe business..."

Gilboa nodded as I enumerated what I had been working on to support the adventurer.

"Right. However, for that matter, the impact on the world seemed to have been a little too great.

"That, I can't help it. If we hadn't changed the world just a little, their treatment wouldn't have gotten any better"

"Just a little bit, huh?

To Jilboa's point, I just have to shrug my shoulders.

"In the end, the problem is structure. Crushing individual challenges does not solve the problem. If the adventurer business doesn't make money, the adventurer's wage remains low. So if we want to improve the treatment of adventurers, we need to make the adventurer business a profitable structure. To this end, rural areas and roads need to be efficiently protected and agricultural land effectively extended"

That's what we're doing through our report to the Adventurers Guild, setting standards for land development.

It achieved a certain amount of results and made investment in land development more active.

"Right. Indeed, the economy is good for recent requests. The number of requests from nobles and the Church also increased beyond comparison. But what does that have to do with being a deputy?

Answer Jilboa's question by stretching your spine.

"I want to get my hands on the very structure that the peasants who devoured them when they were out of production become adventurers."

"What do you mean?

Jilboa has no heart or embarks on a body.

"Reduce the number of people themselves who become adventurers. So, create a state of adventurer shortage and raise the wages paid to adventurers. Turn the adventurer business from the amateur business to the expert (professional) business where you can take money."

"Then what do you do when you're deputy?

"I won't let the guy be an adventurer out of the village I rule. Return the amateur adventurer to the village. These two."

I assure you, Jilboa stared me in the face and opened his mouth.

"Kenji, you're a strange guy. For the sake of adventurers, he said, fewer adventurers. What the hell, are you on the side of the adventurer? Are they enemies?

I answer as I look at Sarah, who, while resisting Zilboa's ever more severe gaze, clings to meat on the side.

"I'm always on the side of hungry young people. Isn't that enough?

Jilboa is strong. Too strong.

But most people in the world, they don't.

Fewer people, like adventurers, should get into a yakuza job.

Will that make sense to Jilboa?

After that, I didn't talk about work, and I had a good time listening to the taste of the food, the porcelain commentary, etc., but from time to time, Jilboa was showing me how to figure something out.
