Let's Manage The Tower

(2) Abnormalities

Colette talked to the examiner who was finishing dinner and mopping Nana around on the carriage platform.

"Kowske, this may not be good."

The examiner jumped up at once.

The peach on the same carrier also had a serious look on Colette's face.

"What's wrong?

"Looks like I got a hunch of a peach. Maybe it won't work if we don't move."

"That far?

"Yeah."

Once he nodded, Colette told them the details of the situation.

Having heard the story, Kaiseki and Peach had a serious look.

"That's certainly not a good idea. Not if you're talking about preferences."

That's right ~

I'll be right there.

The examiner, who stood up with that, accompanied the two of them to the center of the caravan.

In the tent there, the captain of this large caravan should be meeting with their respective representatives.

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

Carl, the captain of the caravan, looked at Bert, the leader of the convoy.

The other members have a confused look.

Except for Burt, the only merchants here are the merchants who manage the caravan.

The only adventurers are Bart and his companion, Leila.

That's why I didn't know how to accept Burt's words.

That will be the case.

I don't know what it means to suddenly say "I have a bad feeling" at the meeting seat that I go to every night.

If there were any other adventurers here, they might have received it a little more properly.

But Carl didn't try to ignore Bart's words in his head.

Because I've been helped by the adventurer's "intuition."

"Does that mean there might be another raid?

Carl was cautious, and Burt looked at him.

The feeling that Bart and Leila "don't like it" is not expressed in words.

"I don't know. But I feel like there's something going on."

Hmm...

Carl, who put his arms together, wondered what to do.

Now, if you have found something without even scolding it, you can immediately defend it and wait until reinforcements arrive to deal with it.

Again, Carl himself is not going to make a fool of the adventurer's intuition.

However, it is only natural for the captain of the caravan to be unable to stop the movement of the caravan with a mere conjecture.

Before worrying about Carl, Burt is also worried about how to convey what he feels right now.

Even so, it's a feeling that I have been acting as an adventurer for quite a long time, so I can't say it well.

Other merchants around me have similar and approaching expressions.

This is more or less the experience of a merchant who has been a trader.

And many people know from experience that ignoring these adventurers doesn't suit busy eyes.

Something happened that would solve their problems.

"Excuse me."

An adventurer came in to guard their tent.

What can I do for you?

The adventurer had a subtle look on Carl's face when he asked.

"No, I have a guard adventurer here right now and he wants to give it to me anyway."

While saying that, I showed you something like an envelope that I had in my hand.

Carl took it in surprise.

Opening the seal and looking inside, Carl changed his expression at once and saw the adventurer in front of him.

"Hey, who gave this to you!?

The people around him who were watching Carl were surprised at the change.

The same goes, of course, for the adventurer who handed over the seal.

"What? No. I'll be waiting for you in the front.

"Bring him here now!

"Ha, yes!

Usually, the adventurer rushed outside to become Carl's leopard of calm character.

Those around, including Burt, tried to ask what it was, but they couldn't do it.

Because an adventurer headed outside immediately brought the examiners.

"Are you...!?

Burt was surprised to see the peach he came in with.

I've reported two previous raids in advance, so I already know who they are.

You won't forget if you want to.

Carl talked to the examiners, suppressing Burt from asking what happened.

"What is Kou?

It's me.

As the examiner advanced, Carl nodded one.

"What happened when you came here and came out of silence?

It is a dialogue based on the assumption that if nothing happened, the examiner would not have come into contact with himself in this way.

Hearing Carl's words, the examiner glanced at Burt.

"The boulder... Did the leader notice anything?

I wonder why Carl could have predicted it.

"Yes, I have a bad feeling about what he says."

Having heard that, Kaiseki sighed with admiration.

I think a skilled adventurer is really amazing.

I am not actually looking at it with the power of protection like peach or the power of spirits like Colette, but I am perceiving this anomaly with years of stacking.

I even think it's good to call it an adventurer technique.

Really? So now you're worried about following it?

No matter how much you whisper about being an adventurer, it's just a question of understanding the circumstances in which you can't decide what to do with the caravan.

That's what I'm talking about.

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

Those around him, including Burt, who spoke with Kaiseki and Karl, looked slightly paranoid.

The examiners today are only one of the adventurer teams.

Carl, the captain of the caravan, is taking a step back and talking to his superiors.

There is no one here who doesn't think it strange.

One of the merchants surprisingly checked with Carl.

"Ah, um... what about you?

"Mm...?

When asked, Carl wondered what to say.

In fact, the document that Karl saw simply states the names of Schmidt and Gazelan's two Crown department heads and that "seeing this document means that something unusual has happened, so listen to Kou."

Carl doesn't even know where the examiners are.

Kaiseki put out a rescue boat for Carl.

"I am Kou the Adventurer. In fact, the head of the Gazelan department told me to audit the convoy."

This is not a lie.

Gazelan actually told me when they decided to accompany this caravan.

However, it's not a thorough audit, but rather, I told you to let me know if you noticed anything.

The eyes of the merchants who heard the words of Kaiseki and showed a surprise appeared to Karl.

"... well, that's the thing. Don't get me wrong. I just found out."

I appealed in writing deliberately.

Even though I haven't seen the contents of the document, it only adds credibility.

In fact, Schmidt's name is written on it, but Carl has no intention of telling you that.

Because it is impossible to determine whether the examiner has even contracted an audit of the merchants.

"So, what happened with the audit?

With a rather harsh face, Burt asked.

No one will be happy to know that they are being audited.

"Don't get me wrong. This case is separate from the audit. The audit itself was supposed to end without a name."

"Then what?

"Mr. Burt, change your attitude to the quarrel. Why don't we start with Lord Koo?

By Carl getting in between, Bart tended to retreat.
