Let's Manage The Tower
(5) Peace?
The request to escort the wagon meant that the journey to the capital was carried by the merchant's wagon.
This time, the members will be three merchants, including the client, as well as Kaiseki, and ten adventurers.
With that number of members and naturally loaded luggage, the number of carriages is five.
Only the adventurers were on one of them, running behind the caravan.
"No, I've been a pedestrian for years, but this is the first time I've traveled this many people. I'm really glad you took it."
René, the representative of this caravan, is on the carriage that Kaiseki rides.
Not so many goods are loaded in the carriage used by the examiners.
Still, if this carriage arrived in the capital at worst, the merchant would not have to be in deficit this time.
I was entrusted with the main carriage.
Of course, there is René, the supervisor, but I also thought it was a natural thing.
"Sometimes the places I went were the same. Besides, you didn't have to bring your own carriage."
"I'm glad the timing was right."
Renee laughed at that and aligned her gaze with the examiner.
At first, I sometimes looked at Kouhi and Mitsuki's face as flickering, but when I found out that the center of the party was Kaiseki, I was completely focused on talking to Kaiseki.
As a high-ranking adventurer, I saw a merchant's desire to keep as connected as possible.
It's a much more favorable response than forgetting your original job, as seen by Kouhi and Mitsuki.
Renee herself was a fresh mid-twentieth merchant, but still creates a playful atmosphere.
I was told that the topic never ran out for a long time and that I was traveling around.
Renee's story also served as a valuable source of information for the examiners.
It's not information from books or materials, but new discoveries come directly from the information you've experienced in person.
Renee also seemed to be having a great time talking about whether the examiners wanted to hear such stories.
Rather than being a merchant, I like to talk about it in a natural way.
The third day of your first trip to the capital.
Nana, who was at Kaiseki's feet, reacted to the monster's attack while Renee was carrying her client and managed to defend her client.
Kaiseki and Rene were in the gap between the goods and the loaded truck.
Kouhi and Mitsuki are carriage lords.
After noticing Nana's reaction, Kaisuke raised his right hand and interrupted Rene's story.
René, who had already had several similar experiences, stopped talking immediately.
"Mitsuki, are you aware of this?
Kaiseki spoke to Mitsuki, who is not holding the rope now.
"Hmm... I'm not where I can react yet. I wonder if the boulder is called Nana."
It was Mitsuki who had been watching the situation around for a while, but he shook his head and returned the answer.
It seems that there is a monster in a position that is not yet known by Mitsuki's ability to explore.
I see. Then maybe we'll pass without noticing. Just be vigilant. "
"Yes, I understand."
Nana's monster's ability to search for enemies can be detected much wider than normal monsters.
As a result, many monsters passed by without noticing.
René is watching over the two interactions without a doubt.
Of course, there are people who believe in the abilities of the examiners, but if it is true whether the conversation is a lie or not if the luggage is safe, it is fine.
If the monsters don't attack, it doesn't matter.
There had never been a monster raid before.
No matter how safe the streets are to the capital, this is impossible if you think about it normally.
The examiners are doing everything they can to make that decision.
And it was the same this time.

"Kou, I don't think so. I noticed. Looks like they're coming."
About five minutes after Nana noticed, Mitsuki said so from the podium.
I see. Mm-hmm. I can't help it.... Nana, you can go. "
When Nana, who was at his feet, was called to do so, Nana stepped out of the wagon with joy and bravery.
The carriage was in the middle of its movement, but it gently descended to the ground without feeling it at all and quickly headed to its destination.
Originally, most monsters would leave if Nana intimidated them, as long as they simply chased them away.
But if you do that, the horse pulling the luggage will be useless for a while.
Then I fell at the end of the day, so Nana went out of her way to defeat me.
Nana, however, seemed to be in a cramped wagon, and she was delighted and brave enough to give instructions for the assassination.
The wagon that follows from behind doesn't bother Nana if she knows what she's doing or if she jumps off.
There have been several deployments of Nana so far, but thanks to this, this caravan has not yet been attacked by monsters.
Even after Nana disappeared, the carriage continued to move without worrying.
I don't have to stop to catch up with Nana right away.
This time, Nana came back after taking care of the monsters.
... steadily sucking loot in your mouth.
Besides, if it were a wild beast, it would have been well drained of blood.
Previously, I learned to drain blood by bringing the prey to the management level without bleeding and being alerted by the female team.
Thanks to this, the wagon is not bleeding.
At first, René looked stunned, "How cool is this subordinate?"
I just laughed ambiguously without saying it was a god beast on a boulder, but Renee didn't already think that the auxiliaries were just high ranked adventurers, so they passed me through.
Renee will definitely be responsible for the comfort of this trip.
"Oh, is this loot a Mitra bird? You've done a good job."
Renee said that when she saw Nana happily eating a bird.
"Are you famous?
"Yeah, it's a quick and smart bird, and it's hard to get inside. If you sell meat, you can sell it at a high price. It's a luxury product."
Really?... Nana. Don't look at me like that because I won't take anything else. "
After listening to the two, Kaosuke said so to Nana, who turned his face toward him.
Renee answered with a smile.
"That's right. I will not do that to the guardian gods who protect this caravan."
While showing a smile, I saw the seriousness of my voice.
Nana may seem like a guardian god to Renee.
I was relieved to hear that from Kaosuke and René, and Nana started eating Mitra again.
You're enjoying the bird's texture because it's slowly in your mouth rather than eating momentum.
Looking at Nana like that, Kaosuke and René once again blossomed in the wagon.
