Let's Manage The Tower

Arda is finally a beginner.

After three years as an adventurer, I was able to reach D rank.

It is very common to say that the speed is neither slow nor fast.

However, there may not be a lot of people who could have come here without having a party.

Most people work by partying.

I have no particular reason not to have a party.

I've been invited to a party a few times, but it just so happens that there were people who wanted to go with me all the time.

Arda had a turning point when she was eating in the dining room of a hotel in Lüssen.

One of the members of the party who was invited several times came to talk to me.

"Hello, Arda. Did you hear about the tower?

Lüssen was obvious in the story at this time.

The story is that we have a place to transfer everything from the building just next to Lüssen to the tower.

"Oh, you heard me. Anything you can't pick up near here."

I see.... so I'm going to talk to you, but if your schedule is available, why don't you come with me next time?

It was an invitation to a party.

I have teamed up several times, so I am not worried about members.

If anything, it means that you are less able to fight than the rest of the team, so you don't get caught up in it.

That's why I never came into this party before.

"Well... as far as I'm concerned, is that okay?

"Oh, I don't mind. I mean, to be perfectly clear, it's you, but the other blind ones aren't available anymore."

Arda was convinced by the bitterness of the words.

For them, I wonder how things are going this time.

In the meantime, after adding myself and seeing what happens to the Tower, I intend to attack by adding my allies at the same level in earnings.

There was no dissatisfaction with Arda.

Rather, now that you can see the location of the rumor with your own eyes, you can hope and fulfill it.

"I see... Then there is no problem. I don't mind anytime."

"Oh, well, let's make tomorrow a day of preparation and start tomorrow afterwards.

"Oh, that's okay."

Copy that. I'll meet you at your usual place the day after tomorrow.

Ah.

I decided on an appointment as I was used to it, and then I broke up.

"... I see, this is fashionable."

This is Arda's impression of the fifth and sixth floors of one of the tower villages.

Incidentally, it still seemed unclear why the flight from Lüssen was halfway through the fifth floor.

"... I see. If it's this easy to hunt, it'll be a comfortable place for us."

This is the word of Zeto, the man who invited Arda the other day and leader of this party.

The party members nodded just like the leader.

What they're saying is how often to count monsters.

Obviously less than around Lüssen.

In this way, sampling can be carried out with some margin.

Many of the growing herbs and emerging monsters were the same as those around Lüssen, but many could not be harvested.

If you bring it to Lüssen, you can naturally sell it at a high price.

Nevertheless, if this abundance exists as a material, the price will one day settle to some extent.

Arda reads that it will still be enough to make enough money to get there.

In the only village on the fifth floor, there were also shops that bought it.

It was a cheaper purchase than selling it to Lüssen, but given the toll and the hassle involved in passing through the transfer gate, it would be better to sell it at the village store.

With that in mind, the party went deeper.

Incidentally, the members at this time went up to the next forty-first layer of the sixth layer.

There was no particular problem with the appearance of monsters, but they turned back because it would be difficult to bring back the samples even if they went further.

Arda, who later broke up with the party members, decided to make money in the tower.

Winning the drawing of finished apartments is one of the reasons.

If the lottery was not drawn, I would have thought about living in an inn, but it would have been unlikely that you would always be able to stay full.

Anyway, the apartment was rented, so I started my activities in earnest.

Unfortunately, there is still no public guild in this village, so I can't eat it on request, but I can eat enough by collecting materials from around the village.

The number of adventurers in the boulders is increasing, making it easier to collect than before, but that's no big deal.

If you stretch your legs a little, the materials are still abundant.

Incidentally, certain rules have been observed which say that, although adventurers have a crude and violent image, they do not exhaust when harvesting plants.

It's only natural that once we've harvested it all, we'll run out of seeds to earn our own.

They said there were people who did it in the past, but not only were they supposed to be fellow adventurers, but the merchants who sold it, and the craftsmen who did the processing, could no longer continue to operate as adventurers. There are no such stories now.

Naturally, the same rules were applied in this tower, and if there were crowded areas, they were adjusted to retain a certain number or more.

When spreading the village to boulders, the crowded areas of the area are hunted down.

In this case, it is customary for the village (in this case, the tower administrator) to earn income instead of an adventurer.

Because it is a rapidly spreading village, such requests are sometimes made.

In that case, since there is no Alliance yet, a request is posted on the bulletin board of the Temple that manages the Transfer Gate.

The request was won by the early winner, so the area was treated like any other public guild.

There is only one shop in the tower so far.

However, it is not forbidden by the tower administrator, it is simply that the building's architecture has not kept pace, and the stall is open.

As a result, there is little that is lacking to live in the tower.

The adventurers were not dissatisfied with the fact that the essential items for the adventurer could be arranged in the only shop that existed and at the same price as they were arranged in Lüssen.

As for the weapon armor on the boulder, it is expensive because there is not a craftsman in the tower, but this is all there is to it.

Recent rumors suggest that a craftsman dedicated to this shop will come, so if that is true, you may not have to go to Lüssen to take care of your weapon and armor at all.

More and more adventurers will arrive in this village.

When I became accustomed to living in the tower, two rumors ran around the village.

One is that the tower administrator creates an organization called the Crown.

This seems to be an organization that has made the Alliance bigger.

It would be a pretty big organization because everything is a combination of adventurer, merchant, and craft guilds.

Until now, I didn't think it was particularly relevant to Arda, so I listened to it normally.

But when I heard another rumor, I couldn't say the same.

Another rumor is that cities other than Lüssen are connected by a transfer gate.

Many people confirmed the veracity of this rumor on the boulder, or there was a sticker in the main part of the village.

Fortunately, Alda was able to read the letters and confirm the contents on the spot.

I found the Arda and Zeto spoke to me.

"Hello, Arda. It's been a long time."

"Oh, Zed. You came here to check the details, too?

I see. So... what are you gonna do?

The asked Arda answered Zeto immediately.

"Naturally, apply"

Well, I guess so.

I'm talking about whether or not to apply to the Crown, but naturally there are disadvantages to belonging to the Crown.

But for Arda, the advantage is greater than the disadvantage.

"What about Zed?

"... it's not up to me to decide this. I'll discuss it with my buddies."

"Well, that's true. But you better make a decision."

Yeah, I know.

The formation of the Crown and the connection of the transfer gates to other cities had a time frame.

You should sign up before you connect to another city.

It is only natural in a sense that there is a greater likelihood that applicants will increase when connected to other cities.

And it's going to be something that exceeds Arda's expectations, but Arda didn't expect it until then.

Fortunately, Arda was able to register with the Crown before the new gate was connected, so she didn't get caught up in the chaos afterwards.

By the way, Zed's party stopped signing up within the time frame, but he didn't hesitate to sign up if he knew that there would be three more connections to the transfer gate, he later told Arda.
