Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 622: Cage Castle in Cage Castle

If you live in this tough world, and if you do business, there are dangers.

Living is overcoming the risk of the name uncertainty, I may say.

If I die, all the business I'm working on falls.

So let's be careful with our bodies, I know the logic.

"That said, it's harder to tell you to do something for your safety than this."

Unexpectedly, I leak to myself.

It's been quite a while since I quit Adventurer.

Sword arms are on the other hand dull, and I haven't trained.

On the other hand, there are always two people stationed in the workshop with security from the Swordtooth Corps, and Kilik has them on a full-time and escort basis.

During the day, even if you want to do something physically, it should be quite difficult.

I don't go out at night, I keep my door tight.

Leather streets are deep down, so there are structural advantages that suspicious people won't come in as long as they guard the entrance to the street, and the guards are looking around a lot because the young men in the workshop are taking turns to watch them, and because they try to serve a night meal.

As a third-class neighborhood, it is a prominent security.

So far, no problem.

However, there is no system to deal with the problems that have not arisen now.

That's the problem.

"What Jilboa is saying is, you mean the monster. I guess."

The next morning, I also decide to try to organize myself towards the blackboard in the morning.

Now I'm going to use the method called case scenario.

"That's the same story we were talking about the printing press, right? Think good stories and bad stories, you know?

It's basically the same method I used to describe the printing industry (presentation), as Sarah noticed watching next door.

It's a way of assuming a situation and thinking about the best scenario, the normal scenario, the worst scenario for that situation.

This time, we assume, for example, that there will be a phenomenon like a monster outburst.

It's a hazard (risk) estimation scenario, so I'll think about it from the worst scenario.

The Great Run of Demons. Perhaps there will be a massive outburst of unprecedented magnitude.

The exterior of the city's walls becomes overflowing with demons.

Then what will happen?

I'm gonna put a bullet in the blackboard about what could happen.

· Interruption of city and territory communication and transport

· Food shortages

- Lack of some raw materials in the shoe workshop

· Deterioration of security

· Conscription of some craftsmen to defensive forces

· Activating the activities of adventurers

· Activation of military and private forces

As I write, the image gradually becomes apparent.

What I see as a danger (a risk), and what to protect, is getting sorted out.

Good. I get it.

At a time like this, the intellectual excitement surrounds me when I feel that I understand something.

"Kenji, you look so happy."

Sarah, watching next door, looks suspicious.

"Uh, yeah, you're right"

Sure, I was careless.

When the city was in crisis, we couldn't help but enjoy solving the difficult challenge of how we would survive.

Calm down a little and then explain to Sarah.

"I know what to do. In short, that's a caged castle. In a caged city, you just need to cage more."

"A cage castle in a cage castle?

Sarah tried to create a clever expression that pointed at her mouth with an eyebrow in order to show her willingness not to know why.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Explain in turn for Sarah and to organize the story yourself.

"As I was saying, if a monster overflows outside the city as Zilboa prophesied, at worst, the entire city will be closed and caged in the walls of the castle. Is that good enough for you?

"Right. So, it's gonna be a lot of trouble, I know that. You won't be able to get food from the outside, and the people inside will be upset."

I agree with Sarah while she checks the contents of the bullets.

"So you can't keep locked up all the time either. You'll start sending out private soldiers and asking adventurers to chase monsters away. If we don't have enough manpower, the craftsmen might be taken too. He said he could throw a stone off the inside of the wall."

Perhaps so.

"Besides, they could pick up arrows and stones, and they could take the craftsman's kids."

"... right"

"Then even the craftsmen could get hurt. A monster might throw a stone back at me, or maybe shoot an arrow at me. It may fall off the walls in a moment. Even the children, yes. If the whole city is in a killing mood, they could get hurt for a small thing. I'm supposed to help, but I could get hurt standing on the arrow of monster extermination."

"Well, it's not."

Sarah's voice responding sinks more and more.

Neither do I want to say anything unpleasant, but I can't help it because we're talking about preparing for the worst.
