Let's Manage The Tower

Peach and Wanri attacked two lizard-like monsters in the meadow.

Kaiseki, Mitsuki and Nana are watching the two at a distance.

I refrain for when something happens, but it's not a monster like Peach's ability can get you killed.

Incidentally, Wanli seemed to be struggling with unfamiliar weapons because they were humanized.

The two monsters they are now facing were monsters over five meters long called lizards.

It takes a while to defeat even an intermediate adventurer with a monster that is quick to reach without seeing it.

However, the relative peach was totally flirting with the speed of two lizards while following the confused wanli.

Wanli seems to have become more accustomed to handling weapons than at first, and is gradually making accurate attacks.

"I was wondering what would happen at first, but I think I can handle it."

They were pushed by two lizards in the form of a peach pulled by Wanli's confusion, but now they are completely pushing.

"I see. Peach seemed confused to follow me, but I'm getting used to it."

Mitsuki also nodded while observing the exam aid.

Nana was moped with her stomach showing up at the feet of the examiner.

The wild has been completely lost.

"Ah, it's about time you stabbed me.

The next moment Mitsuki said so, Peach stabbed a lizard around his neck with a dagger.

Almost simultaneously, Wanli stabbed another lizard.

For the first fight, it will be a good one.

Above all, the cooperation between the two was greatly confirmed.

Suddenly Nana got up and ran towards the lizard.

"Oh, hey, hey...!

"Did you think it would be a spill?

Mitsuki said that with a smile.

After all, Nana couldn't catch a spill.

Aoto lizard meat is also useful for consumption, so it can be sold.

Above all, I stopped screaming with the word "fat" in the exam aid.

Wow, the female team's gaze hurt, but I managed to pass.

Afterwards, the auxiliaries joined in hunting ten lizards before returning to the town of Aylen.

On the way back, the event was somehow on schedule.

Nearly ten men, including the man involved yesterday, were waiting in front of the examiners laughing and laughing.

Ignoring it, I deliberately turned around and stopped the auxiliaries trying to enter the town.

"Hey, wait. You have to pay taxes to get into town."

I didn't know what to say for a moment, but the study aid stopped unexpectedly.

"... what? Taxes?"

It was the first time I heard such a thing, and the assistant looked familiar to me.

"You don't know that either. In order for the Adventurers to operate in this town of Allen, they have to pay a certain amount to the Lord."

"I didn't ask you that.

"Around here, right? This is common sense!

While I was talking about it, another adventurer was passing through the gates of town.

"Other adventurers seem to be coming through?

"Oh, they already have."

In a very peculiar way, the examiner looked stunned.

"I don't trust you very much. Basically, what's the tax?

"What? Taxes are taxes, right? But the Adventurer has to shut up and pay!

To the ridiculous story, Kaiseki unexpectedly sighed.

"There's no reason to pay taxes to someone who can't explain them. You can't prove you're a real tax collector, can you? There's no fool to give money to someone like that."

The female team nodded at the proper words of the examiner.

The men around saw it tried to stand together, but the man in the center stopped it.

As usual, I can still talk to you with plenty of room.

"What if I can prove it?

"Sure, so we can explain exactly what kind of taxes we're going to have."

"... Hmm. I'll pick it up later, so make sure it's ready."

That being said, the man gave instructions to pass to those who surrounded the examiners.

"Are you sure? I don't think I gave up."

While still looking at the men at the gate, Peach heard so.

"Ah, I'm sure you'll be making some sort of ruse again. That's because it's persistent."

That's right ~

"Are you kidding me?

Wanli looked strange and asked.

"Well, what do you think? In that case, maybe they're really collecting taxes."

"I see. I was used to it, and I was looking around again."

"Are you coming again?

That's how I smiled at her face.

"That kind of person is persistent. They'll definitely come first."

"I see. And it seemed like there was something behind it."

The face of the man in the middle who came in yesterday was so confident.

Or maybe it really has a role like a tax collector.

In the previous exchange, there was no doubt that troublesome events were waiting for what the next man would do.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

After clearing the request with the Public Guild, he went straight back to the hotel.

Since the accommodation is for adventurers, adventurers exchange information on the first floor of the cafeteria.

The examiners came down to the cafeteria to have dinner, and another man came.

But now a pretty little man is coming with us.

The group came straight to the table where the examiners were.

"Is that you? If you don't pay what you have to pay,"

That's what a pretty little man said when he came before the exam aid.

Around them, the men laughed with a smile.

"... who are you?

"Excuse me. My name is Achilles, and I can use it for the Lord Amidio of this land."

That's what Achilles said and took a piece of paper out of his pocket.

It seems to be a document indicating that it is a tax collector.

Until we know if it's real, we can't tell from the examiner.

"So? Why is Mr. Achilles here?

"Oh, you've heard from this guy, haven't you? I want you to pay the right tax."

"I told him, too? I want you to tell me exactly what taxes are."

If it is a tax to be paid, I will not be reluctant to pay it.

I just want to know exactly what I'm paying for.

In addition, there is another reason why examinations are persistently declining.

"What is it...? Yes. Did you know that there is an activity tax?

Activity tax?

"That's right. Activity tax. It is primarily a tax that allows adventurers to operate in the territory."

When Achilles said that, the man behind it looked proud.

I suppose you think you can take the tax from the exam aid entirely now.

"Is it uniquely set up in this territory?

"No, not just this territory, but others."

What Achilles is saying is not a lie.

Apart from the territories that Amidio governs, there are other neighboring territories that collect similar taxes.

And that's why some adventurers continue to pay without doubt.

I didn't even know I was being deceived.
