Let's Manage The Tower
Episode 3: Worried about Alec
We decided to open branches in the four major cities of the Central continent, but of course we can't open them right away because of the preparations.
Above all, it has become a large organization with famous fruits, so it will be necessary to establish a branch in a new city and so on.
The subtlety around here is refreshing for the examiners, so it's entirely up to Schmidt and Alec.
Even so, for this time only, the cities that plan to build branches are in a state where they will definitely build them, so there was no need for much negotiation.
If so, the question of where to build each city was so problematic that I said that I would only choose from some of the things that were prepared in the city.
"... somehow, if you've prepared so far, isn't it suspicious on the contrary?
The exam assistant who was explained by Alec accidentally spilled.
"Oh, of course I doubt it."
The asked Alec answered lightly.
"... are you okay?
"The most dangerous would be locally recruited staff. I don't think we're going to adopt it at all. There's nothing I can do about it."
Ultimately, the organization is in jeopardy because of the big problem of funds or people.
It is relatively easy to infiltrate a new organization if it is known in advance.
And it's extremely difficult for the recruiter to look into it.
Of course, we conduct background checks after the interview, but we can still work as much as we want after the hiring decision.
It's only natural that locally recruited people originally have a grudge against the city.
"... what do you mean, it's confusing?"
Alec smiled bitterly at the feelings of the examiner.
If you hate these things in the first place, it is impossible to develop new land.
When creating a new branch, it is not possible to transfer the original personnel secretly, but it is not efficient to think about it.
At the same time, the headquarters will definitely run out of manpower.
"Well, I'm sure the crown thinks about it. As far as I'm concerned, I appreciate this opportunity to cross over with the four major cities."
We've been communicating through people, but it still makes a lot of sense to have a branch of the organization called the Crown on the ground.
I even thought it might be okay to rent a room in a branch building to make an outpost.
At best, you'll have two or three people.
"... so why don't you put down the transfer gate?
Alec unexpectedly pressed his forehead against the premise of the study aid.
In the first place, the branch was created because there were no transfer gates in the four major cities.
If you leave the transfer gate there, there's no point in building a branch.
"It makes sense to put a branch on purpose, not a transfer gate."
He swallowed up all the words, and Alec said just that.
However, when I heard about it, I found out that Alec was mistaken.
"Oh, no. It's not for general use, but only for some people. It's on the fifth floor, right?
Alec also knew that there was a transfer gate at Crown headquarters that only some people used.
I've never used it myself.
For an instant, Alec thought it was going to happen, but he immediately dismissed it.
"No, I don't think so. If I can smell a little more metastasis gates, I will definitely demand that they be installed. As always, it's better to make them think that they can only make four."
We don't know how many transfer gates can be installed in the first place, and we don't know how many assistants can be installed.
There are now four transfer gates, but they may not be able to increase any further.
It was paradoxically thought that if we increased the transfer gate, it would only be profitable for the tower, so if we didn't increase it from four, we couldn't increase it.
To tell the truth, Alec thought so too, but in his current words, he realized it was a mistake.
To be clear, it is cheaper to build a transfer gate than a branch, etc., from the tower side.
However, for the time being, Kaiseki is not considering increasing the number of transfer gates leading to the outside world.
The more transfer gates you have access to the tower, the more danger it will be.
As long as it takes the form of a transfer gate, it will not be possible to send in a large number of soldiers at once, but it would be better if there were as few entrances as possible.
Of course, Alec knew that, so he said it was better to go with only four of the status quo.
Hmm, is that what this is all about?
The examiner returned only that and said nothing more.
In the first place, I don't think that I can make good political decisions.
I know that Alec should make this decision.
"... by the way, how's my daughter?
Suddenly changing the subject, Kaiseki glanced at Alec, but he seemed to have no particular preference.
I guess I'm simply worried about Floria.
"I'm fine. Aren't you managing the southwest tower by now?"
"... what?
"What? Didn't you say? I decided to entrust her with the management of the southwest tower."
"... I didn't hear you... okay?
In response to Alec's question, the examiner leaned his head.
"Was there a problem?
"No... I think it's quite a big deal to be in charge of the tower..."
In other continents, it is the country that controls the tower, regardless of its size.
More specifically, it is basically the king's property.
To the best of Alec's knowledge, there are no towers owned by individuals other than Amamiya's.
Formally, the tower itself is owned by the king, and its management is by another person.
At least some form of state is involved.
Not to mention that it is the first time in history that an individual owns more than one tower.
Regardless of how much ownership there is, Alec wants to say that he can give someone else control of the tower.
Really? I attacked for a reason, but I can't manage all the towers on my own. "
"Well, I suppose so... But somehow, my daughter was trusted a lot."
Considering it from the very beginning, it is a great advance.
"As far as that is concerned, I wonder if she has changed rather than me. It's now accepted by other members."
I see. That's good. "
If you look at Alec, he doesn't know what kind of place the management is, because he only sees part of it.
For this reason, the feeling that you are embedding your daughter in a narrow area called management is not lost.
"Oh, yeah. By the way, I also gave you the Spika artifact."
"Is that okay?
"Eh? Was it no good? I made it and gave it to you because there was a request from the Spika gods?
Regardless of how much protection you receive, I was worried that it would be okay with the artifact, but what a person (God?) It seems that it was a request from.
In the first place, Alec had never seen or heard of artifacts such as divine objects, but it was a study aid to soften up God's summoning.
I decided not to wonder if I could make such a thing.
By the way, I decided not to think about it, even though it is impossible to think about it as a normal thing to ask directly from God.
I see. I hope so... I don't know what to say, but I feel like I'm becoming a witch. "
In the first place, I fled here because I couldn't get into a church, but it's ironic that I grew up as a witch.
"Isn't it inevitable, in a way, to be a witch over God?"
"I guess so. Well, if you can see that my daughter is doing well, that's fine."
As for Alec, it would suffice to hear about Florian, who cannot be seen in a circumstantial manner.
From time to time, I wondered if I could have them meet at the management level.
