Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 363: The King's Ear Is Roba's Ear

Is it worth testimony that is not a record of laws or documents?

In the end, Sarah seems to answer the question that Claudio threw on her behalf.

"Don't be offended. I want you to listen to me."

and preface, then start talking.

"Rural people, adventurers, city craftsmen can barely read. So I think people in the world, when they glance at nobles and priests, only a few people really understand the script. And you want me to ignore the opinions of a lot of people like that? I don't think so."

"But illegible people like them are people on the ruling side, people on the protected side. Without learning and gathering their opinions without responsibility, we cannot govern correctly"

In response to Sarah's opinion, Claudio opens his chest and tells the arrogant shore.

And from this world's educational standard and identity system, Claudio's opinions are also more common among the aristocracy and the ecclesiastical class.

The priesthood as a faith-preserving class, the aristocracy as a protective class of the people, and the people engaged in production while being protected, as a pre-construction system, is strongly conscious among the hard-earned and educated upper classes as common sense and ethics.

But that is only the value of the ruling side.

"But I've never had you protect me, have I?

And, as Sarah replied, there are adventurers in this world.

There are those who fly outside the identity system to protect and make a living from the monsters that are a threat to the world.

Xiao lives as an adventurer with a variety of humans, from boys hunting slimes and earning change to heroes slaughtering dragons.

As for the common people's sense, that's what I'm talking about.

"Besides, I've done a lot of goblins with my bow to protect the villagers, too. What have you been protecting?

As a young Claudio, he seemed to have faced the existence of a common man who argued frontally against the existential significance of the priesthood.

Words don't come out of my gut.

"Wow, I, as a priest, have been overlaid with drills to preserve my faith. I'm still in training..."

"So you can treat me with magic?

"Oh, that's an expensive catalyst, and treatment is a secret of the church. Not yet in training like me..."

"But it's the law, you're studying to stir up farmers with taxes, right?

"I don't mean to irritate you..."

"Well wait. The debate is out of focus. How should we treat those who cannot read the letter, in governance? Shall we stand back there?"

Just as Claudio is shocked by the touch of common people's values, Sarah is also shocked by the touch of the values of the ruling side. The shock seems to be heading towards a denial of the emotional opponent, not just a simple conflict of opinion.

It is common for a denial of opinion to lead to a denial of personality if one is not accustomed to defending a neutral position and arguing in logic.

Since opinions need time and number of places to have an adult argument that separates opinions, arguments from arguments, we need to direct them here, as appropriate.

"Right. What I'm trying to say is that you should hear the opinions of people who can't read the letters. In particular, I think you should listen to the adventurer."

"Why is that? They must be leftovers for the village, right?

"Because you're the one who's left. The village is so small, if I tell anyone, I'll tell everyone right away. If that gets into the lord's ear, you could get into a lot of trouble even for your family, right? That's why everyone's saving up in their stomachs for what they're trying to say. But if you're a leftover person, you can also talk about complaining and dissatisfaction because you're leaving right away. I was an adventurer and heard a lot about it when I stopped by the village. So I didn't want Kenji to be such a bad spokesperson."

Does the king's ear mean Roba's ear? The adventurer is a hole in the dirt.

A bureaucratic organization is a unit that does its job, but also a hierarchical organization for communicating information.

While information is narrowed down in each hierarchy so that information processing in the upper hierarchy is not saturated, information often deteriorates along the way.

Like in this world, when something that can write a letter is in a state of overwhelming power, it is prone to manifest itself prominently.

Strengthens the thought that if you don't design your organization and business carefully, you can become a naked king if you realize it.
