Let's Manage The Tower

(5) First encounter

The fifth day after the examiner came to Earthgard.

They got off the cows and walked towards the city of Lüssen on foot.

Kouhi said he would arrive in the city in a few days.

The dragon will stand out when we go together, so we let it go at the foot of the mountain along the way.

If Kaiseki calls Ko, he will be able to fly even if he is far away. I tried it during the journey, and I realized I could do that.

The left eye of God was also used throughout the journey.

But unfortunately, I didn't understand the big deal.

I don't think this can be helped because the subjects I saw were all plants and minerals (stones, etc.).

After all, I haven't seen anyone but Kouhi and Mitsuki in the last five days, so there's nothing I can do about it.

There will be some progress if we go to the city.

I didn't think I'd ever see anyone like this.

As I was told, I realized that this continent is almost untouched.

While I was flying, I didn't even see anything like a street.

Beyond the last mountain, you can see the ocean ahead of you, and you can finally see the path.

I'm walking down that road towards the city now.

Kaosuke, who was walking while checking the grass and insects with his left eye, noticed that Kouhi and Mitsuki were looking at each other.

"What happened?

"No, it looks like there's a battle going on ahead."

"... combat?... oh, that?

Is it happening for the first time in my study aide's eyesight? But I only know the extent of it.

"... do you know what the situation is?

Basically, I knew they wouldn't move from themselves, so I decided to ask them first.

"Hmm... is there something like a carriage that the monster is attacking?

"Would it be a slight disadvantage to be attacked?"

That's right.

When I heard that, I thought that the event was coming, no matter what I thought, I would have no choice but to be poisoned by such things. Unfortunately, there was no one here to penetrate it.

After only a few thoughts, Kaiseki instructed Mitsuki.

"Mitsuki, will you make it?

"It's okay."

"Then go ahead.... ah, without wings."

"Yes, I'll be there."

It is said that there are other people in this world, but since there is no race with wings in it, I say not to give wings. By the way, when they got off the dragons, they were acting with their wings out.

Let Mitsuki go first, and the examiners hurry first.

Kouhi is the escort of the examiner. It doesn't mean there's no monster on the way.

It has been learned in the last few days that it is a sweet idea for a little while.

Even if the examiner had instructed both of us to go, one of them would definitely have stayed.

By the time Kaosuke and Kouchi arrived at the scene, the battle was already over.

A few people, like carriage guards, clean up (mostly picking up materials from monsters).

Mitsuki was talking to two people.

The examiner was stopped by a man who was working to get close to Mitsuki.

"Who are you?... ghh!?"

(Um... suddenly the sword comes at me...)

A man pointing his sword at us and alerting us was thrown at Kouhi.

That's how the men who noticed us in that noise flew a killer.

"Stop it!

A swallow of candles flew to the men.

"Mitsuki, do you know him?

One of the conversations with Mitsuki asked Mitsuki.

"My master."

At such a moment, I feel that the atmosphere surrounding Mitsuki has changed to another kind of killing atmosphere.

(... it's my mind, it's my mind... No, let's not run away from reality.)

Needless to say, Mitsuki is a beauty of outstanding style. It is not hard to imagine what would happen if such a person said such a word.

Besides, there are even Kouchi of the same level next door.

Unfortunately, Kaiseki realized the danger of walking around town with those two. That's why I can't help it.

Anyway, it seems that the person who approached the assistant with Kouhi is the center of this group.

I checked it with my left eye.

Unique name: Schmidt Anarchy

Race Name: Ethnic

Unique Skill: Calculate LV4 Merchant LV4 Dagger LV1 Others (Unopened)

Tien Mei Skill: Lucky LV3

Title: Protecting Business

(Wow, what a merchant.)

When I was thinking about it, I was introduced to myself by the other side.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Schmidt Anarchy. I am captain of this caravan. But I'm the only merchant, and the rest are the guards they hired."

"Hi, nice to meet you. My name is Kokusai. Mitsuki and I are partying."

"I just heard from Mitsuki-san. You were instructed to help us. Thanks for saving me."

"No, I'm glad we made it."

While greeting him with a smile, Kaiseki realized that Schmidt was looking for us.

What a merchant.

"I also told Mitsuki-san that I would like to ask you about this reward, but would you like to do it?

I thought about the said exam aid for a while.

You can't know the price in the first place.

As an examiner, I don't need a gratuity because I didn't move, but Mitsuki is definitely saving this caravan, so it would be better to get something to think about later.

"I see... I see. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions, okay?

"Let's ask."

"The first is, can we get on the carriage up to Lüssen, and the other is, I want you to buy the materials on certain terms."

"The carriage is fine. I don't mind buying the materials, but... is that a condition?

"Yes, there are a few circumstances... so I don't want you to know what we bought."

"Oh, I see. Is that so? In that case, there is no particular problem... but I feel that it is more profitable?

I laughed bitterly at this.

Too honest for a merchant.

Really?... honestly, I don't really understand the market around here. "

Did you notice how the examiner looked? Schmidt smiled.

"We certainly couldn't handle this alone, but it certainly wasn't as intact as it is now. Thinking about it, do you think it's natural to pay money or something?

"I see."

Somehow Schmidt realized that there was a reason for the examiners.

I decided to avoid making a decision on this occasion.

It's not strange that a monster raids us all the time.

Fortunately, they told me to accompany the carriage, so I think we should talk about it in there.

"I see. In the meantime, why don't you get in the carriage and talk? It would be dangerous to stay here forever."

"That's right. Thank you very much."

After seeing the examiner nod, Schmidt told the people who were working around him to leave.

While Schmidt was giving instructions, the examiner spoke to a man who appeared to be the leader of the guard.

"I'm sorry. Were you interrupting your business?

The man had an instantaneous expression and smiled and slapped the shoulder of Kaiseki.

"Never mind. I'm getting my money fixed. It doesn't matter how many I took down. Besides, if you don't help me, I'll be sacrificed."

Really? That's good. "

"Wow. Even so, you're being polite."

"Really?

Sort of. There's no one who usually says that! "

I made fun of the words by returning the bitter smile.

You will realize that you do not have a common way of thinking in this world for as long as you want.

When I was talking about it, Schmidt came and told me to take the carriage.

Schmidt and the examiners are in the same carriage.

I think we're going to continue with the deal we just had.

And then the man I just talked to got into the same carriage.

As expected, Gozen and Schmidt introduced him as the leader of the guard.

Finally, two carriages, including the examiners, set out for Lüssen.
