Let's Manage The Tower

The rumor spread quietly through the northern city, but quickly.

The rumor was that the northern city was talking about entering Razeqamamiya's umbrella.

The residents of the city waited and waited for the results.

In the direction you want to be under your umbrella.

It was largely among merchants that the northern city had been left behind in the other three cities in the past decade.

For the merchants, there are more opportunities in the more dynamic cities.

That's why traders are more sensitive to the rumors of the city.

Rumors are brought to the merchants through the merchants.

It is well known to the merchants that the northern city has suffered from the harsh clampdown of the nobles.

After all, taxes are higher than in other cities, so you don't have to go out of your way to look into them.

The northern city was nevertheless developing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other three cities because it was the gateway to goods from the northern continent.

The aristocracy of the northern city profited by monopolizing goods coming from the northern continent into the central continent.

Even after Razek Amamiya was made, the composition remained unchanged.

Rather, it is said that the aristocracy who feared change continued to refuse to enter Razekamamiya's umbrella.

In fact, the Church has influence, but the general public doesn't understand.

With the benefit of the church through the filter of nobility, the general public is only honest in their faith in the church.

The situation of each city is told from the mouth of the pedestrians who come looking for goods from the northern continent.

There is the disadvantage of being incorporated into the state, but three cities are producing more results.

There are also stories that people who have seized new business opportunities have changed their lives from before.

Similar stories had emerged not only in the three big cities, but also in the towns and villages under their umbrellas over the past decade.

Of course, some of the towns and villages have declined, but that's a much smaller percentage than before Lazeqamamia ruled the continent.

The presence of the Razek Amamiya Enemy has drastically reduced the damage done by monsters.

That alone is worth an umbrella.

The general residents of the northern city, who had heard rumours of such a story, secretly expected it when they heard rumours of an umbrella to Razeqamamiya.

With this, we can change the city with a sense of blockage.

With that sense of expectation in mind, the residents were waiting for the results.

However, the most recent information that came out the other day was that the discussion ended badly.

The details didn't come through.

I just came up with a story about the consequences of the failure.

As always, the residents may have accepted the outcome, unfortunately.

However, the accumulated thoughts and the feeling that it was no good to be separated from the other three cities finally caused the residents to explode.

Lucas sighed as he watched the sight from the office.

Many residents were gathered in a square in front of a building where the administration of the northern city operated.

The reason is to protest against the upper echelons who refused to enter the Razek Amamiya umbrella.

Lucas didn't do anything from that meeting.

Using our own route, we also knew that there was growing discontent among the residents.

However, when I realized it, it was already too late, and when I realized it, there was enough momentum to spread the rumor.

When I forced it down, I knew it would rebel against me, so I couldn't do anything.

The result is the current scene.

I haven't gone to the rebellion yet.

But if we leave it like this, it will explode eventually.

"Was the Razek Amamiya already aware of that?"

Lucas remembered the face of Razek Amamiya's representative who had come to the meeting a few days earlier.

I don't know what route Lazequa Mamiya was on to the north of the city.

I don't know, maybe they even grabbed the rumors of the merchants.

I didn't do it in the upper part of the northern city.

They didn't even know exactly what was going on in the city they were ruling.

Lucas' own route was also sourced from merchants with direct connections.

I don't have to think that if I had the information from a very early date.

Some residents did not realize that the dissatisfaction with the aristocracy would swell because they always had it.

"No... the results were the same."

Rumors of merchants are a species that leads to business.

No matter how much it is pressed from above, it will fall out immediately.

In addition, he would not even have been able to take a strong hand.

After all, the merchant even included the big shop that supported the city's business.

It was impossible to suppress the activities of all merchants.

"Do you regret not standing first?"

Lucas also understood that this situation could not be helped.

More than one-third of the city's population is now gathered in the square.

I didn't count accurately, of course, but counting is ridiculous.

Even under these circumstances, the city will no longer function as a city afterwards.

"What will you do?

Lucas sighs and asks me about her proximity.

He had been with me for many years, so the time to speak up was also a time not to interfere with Lucas' thinking.

"Nothing like this. I'll be on schedule."

"... I was afraid."

Lucas noticed for a moment that he was really stuck with words.

Lucas and I know each other very well.

"You disagree?

I asked Lucas, and this time I immediately shook my head.

"No, I've been getting ready for that. If you intend to disagree, I will do it first."

That's right.

Lucas sneered at the words of his closest friend.

We have a long relationship.

But I know very well that we're thinking about each other.

"Still, they're moving slowly. Are you still asleep?

Lucas's dumb words promptly returned to his face with a slight smile on his side.

I think it's time.

Well, I don't know if that's the case.

When we were talking about that, there was a noisy noise from outside the door.

"Finally arrived?"

With that sound, Lucas understood that the people he had been waiting for had arrived.

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

Looking at the people who had come into the office, Lucas laughed inside to see that there were roughly as many members as expected.

"What are you doing, Lucas!

Because the situation is such a situation, it must have happened unexpectedly.

Even if Lucas, the lord, had been abandoned, Lucas' closest associates would have stared at him.

Lucas held it down with his gaze, and his expression blurred somewhere.

"What do you mean?

"Fools will be making a scene! Why don't you hold it down?!

It seems that we still do not understand the situation of calling the inhabitants of the city fools.

Lucas didn't reveal his expression, even though he was stunned inside.

If I can't do this much, I can't serve as a lord.

"This is weird. I'm sure you have the authority to move the city guards, both on the other side and in the back?

Lucas says you can't move without telling yourself.

"Well, that's..."

Lucas shook his head to the overwhelming executives.

"Moving the guards in this situation will only cause extra noise. You should wait until you calm down a little."

In fact, I don't know if it will calm down, but I said something that seems likely to calm the people in front of me.

What Lucas wants to calm down now is not the people gathered in the square, but the executives.

"I see. Okay."

"In the meantime, we need to be silent and wait for the noise to settle down.... Oh, just in case, don't forget to leave your escort."

The executives nodded convincingly to Lucas' plausible advice and left.

"Well, from here on out, is it a fight against time?

"That's right.... Shall we begin?

"Ah, just follow the meeting, will you?

"Yes, sir."

Lucas and his close associates, who had dropped off the executives, moved to play their part after that conversation.
