Let's Manage The Tower

Raoul was visiting the Crown branch in the Kingdom of Ireland.

Tamara, the branch manager, is sitting in front of her.

Originally, the Crown Branch in the Kingdom of Ireland was set up to open the Adventurers Division.

However, at one point, the adventurers discovered that there was a problem with their activities.

As a result, Tamara worked everywhere to set up a buying counter for materials in the branch.

Raoul will naturally come into play once the material buying counter has been installed.

Tamara offered various advantages to the kingdom, but various problems arose because she was involved in business.

In business, there were many forces inside and outside the company that considered the expansion of the Crown's power to be dangerous, so only the purchase counter was set up in the branch.

This is why buying it directly from an adventurer and putting it on the market is confusing.

There are opinions within the Crown that we should set up a counter ourselves if that is the case, but since we do not bother to create a spark of conflict, we are settled in its current form.

Until now, in the Kingdom of Ireland, purchases have been made in the form of requests for materials only.

If you start buying it directly from adventurers, only the biggest capitalists will survive.

In addition, the problem arose that even though it was a purchasing counter set up to enhance the activities of adventurers, the original request would be drastically reduced.

The clash requests from towns and villages have no impact because they only mean reducing the number of monsters around them.

However, the request for materials from the Crafts and Merchants Guilds will have a huge impact.

In any case, the price bought at the buying counter is lower than the amount charged for the request.

Buying a crown at a low price is better than making a high request.

In fact, there have been fewer requests for material recovery for some time since the purchase counter was established.

It seems to be back to about 80% now, but it is still a situation that is not fully recovered.

Tamara, who is not good at business, asked Crown Headquarters for support in order to check and adjust the situation.

"But I didn't think Lord Raoul would come."

That's what Tamara said after her first greeting.

When I asked HQ for backup, I thought someone from the lower echelons was coming.

But it was actually Raoul who was in charge of purchasing materials related to the crown.

It's only natural that Tamara should be surprised.

Raoul answered Tamara with a smile.

"Ha ha ha. I suppose we should just let someone under our command pass. I can't get rid of the habits I had when I was a trader."

When I was a peddler, I did everything by myself, from the development of routes to the purchase of goods.

Originally, if there was a certain level of organization, it would be natural to move people to solve the problem, but Raoul's habits at that time were still unbroken.

To put it another way, it is like the president himself is moving and solving it, so it cannot be said that it is in too good a state.

But this time Raoul moved herself properly.

"Besides, I sometimes see it with my own eyes, but this time I wanted to raise one of my men here."

Huh?

Raoul's words raised her eyebrows as Tamara showed interest.

"Every time something happens, I can't move, so I'm going to grow someone who can do some things."

Currently, there are several people who are familiar with materials to buy branches.

If there is one of them, or if there is another person at all, we will leave that person in charge of this branch.

But that's not easy.

In some cases, we have to deal with the country.

A person who has the authority to execute a country against a boulder cannot be placed in this branch.

Sometimes this branch hasn't grown that far, but it's too much to ask the head of the buying counter to negotiate a deal that will make one mistake and determine the fate of the crown.

Raoul doesn't even have that kind of authority in the first place.

From Raoul's point of view, it was true that he did not need such authority.

"... I see. I don't care about business, so it would be helpful if you could."

"If Tamara gets us into business, we'll lose our standing."

Raoul laughed hahaha.

In response, Tamara returned with a smile, bringing her expression back to her true face.

"So, what's going on with the buyer?

"To be clear, things are not going well. Indeed, we can see why the buying system did not take root on this continent."

That said, Raoul is dropping his gaze on the material.

The material described the materials and quantities that had been brought to the buying counter so far.

I have to say that the contents are very biased.

In short, it's because the monsters adventurers encounter are skewed.

If this purchasing system were not done by a giant crown, it would have been impossible for a city's public guild to do it.

"Complete. Is there a reason why the buying system didn't take root?"

As he nodded at Tamara's words, Raoul continued.

"Another thing, the adventurers seem to have a problem."

"What do you mean?

"It may be because the system has just begun and I'm not used to it, but I have the impression that I'm simply crushing the monsters I met."

Tamara leaned her neck when she heard it.

"Isn't that good?

In Tamara's case, he intended to set up a buying counter to make more money.

Of course, I was aware that I had to buy the materials of the monsters I met during the request.

In contrast, Raoul shook his head.

"In any case, the purchase of the material is biased, the price goes down, and no one brings the material in."

Even if you say you have a buying counter, it doesn't mean you keep buying at the same price indefinitely.

Simply put, bringing in a slime that a child can defeat can only be a bundle of sentences.

It is the same for any product that the price changes depending on the volume of distribution.

"Mmm..."

Did you see that, Tamara frowned.

I set up a buying counter to raise the level and increase the number of adventurers, but if that happens, it makes no sense.

"That's why we need to encourage the adventurers themselves to actively hunt the materials, not at their request."

What do you mean...?

"Periodically let me know if this material is expensive or bought at this price to suit the level of an adventurer. Well, I'm going to do that for the people I'm going to grow up with."

"Hah, I see. I'd better leave it to Lord Raoul."

Tamara nodded as if she was impressed.

"Normally, I would train people who stand at the counter with these things, but I've been up and running, so it's time to start that kind of education."

"Hmm. I'll take care of it. I mean, I'd really like you to tell me."

"Ha ha, Tamara, you don't have to remember each item. I hope you understand what I just said."

That's what Raoul said to Tamara, who showed her motivation.
