Let's Manage The Tower
(9) Discussion (interrogation?
Awareness sessions were held with Renee before the examiners began a discussion (interrogation) with the raider's leader.
René began to talk about the raid before saying that it was not a good idea to remain silent.
According to René, some of the luggage in the lead carriage contained items dedicated to the royal family.
The item seems to be of considerable importance to the Kingdom of Tausen, and for some reason it is regularly sought after.
Although it is not information that is generally disseminated, it is generally known to those who hold a certain position.
We don't know what the royal family wants, but it's enough for those who want power to know.
At the request of one of René's major guilds, they decided to ship the item, but they didn't even know what route the major guild was going to use to sell it.
Incidentally, it was the material of some monsters, but when I heard about it, Kaiseki distorted his face.
The monster was the one described in the request that the students had digested.
Kouchi and Mitsuki muttered "I knew it."
It was René who looked at it with a strange face, but he didn't dare to come in.
To sum up what René told me, the consignment I am carrying this time is a gift to the royal family.
Rene herself is working until she delivers it to a major guild, so she doesn't know any further details.
I could hear that a lot of money was moving to get this item.
I don't know what route it leaked, but I'm guessing it was attacked with this package from the beginning.
The reason why we talked about them now is that they are completely confidential.
Rather than hiding it now that it was raided by a boulder, there was no point in hiding it, so if it was raided from the beginning, it was a good thing to talk.
I wish I had arrived safely in King's Landing without incident, but unfortunately, I didn't go there anymore, so I stepped into releasing the information.
Still, it seems that it is only the party of the examiners who play the role of leader that will release the information.
Other adventurers, of course, and merchants don't know what it's all about.
Adventurers and merchants often get these kinds of requests, so they won't bother asking.
If the examiner hadn't acted as a leader, he wouldn't have come in and listened.
Having heard that from René, the examiners began discussions with the raiders.

"Ugh, gu...!?
The Raider's leader, who regained consciousness, was in a hurry to check his surroundings.
There are only two people beside him who are already awake.
Others are leaving them at the raid site.
He wasn't dressed like a black attire even though he knew he was a raider, but dressed like a bandit.
"Well, if you're awake, why don't you tell me more?
Kouchi and Mitsuki followed both sides, and Kaiseki asked.
A little further back, René was watching.
The leader turned to the words of the examiner with determination.
Before I came to this world, I had a glance that I wanted to escape in an instant, but I didn't feel a lot of pressure for the present study aid.
The reason is simple and there is psychological room for such intimidation to have no meaning at all.
"I'm sorry. It's because I've been training for a long time that I can look at you with confidence, but it's completely pointless."
The examiner just said that and quickly turned to Mitsuki.
Well then, please.
"Yes, yes. You're unlucky, too. Well, I thought it was a mistake to attack the caravan that Kou was escorting, so give it up."
Mitsuki touched the leader's forehead with her tongue and right index finger.
At that moment, the leader, who had plenty of room until then, had an impatient expression.
"... what did you do?!
"Whatever you do, I just broke down the barriers and everything that's going on with you and made it normal."
"Bye, stupid...!! There's no way you can do that..."
Mitsuki answered anxiously to the leader.
"Believe it or not, you can do whatever you want, but I think it's a success just because you're shaking your emotions right now?
When Mitsuki entered, the leader's expression was faint.
There must have been something in mind.
"And then I made a suggestion that I wanted to be honest with you about what you asked me."
After seeing the leader clearly showing his impatient expression, Mitsuki turned to both of his companions on both sides.
"That said, it's pathetic to be out of your league, so I'll leave you two in the same position."
That's how you touch both your foreheads just like you did when you were a leader.
With that much work, Mitsuki's work is over.
"Yes, it's over."
That said, Mitsuki turned to study aid.
Thank you very much
"I'm not really tired. It wasn't a big barrier."
The assailants looked at Mitsuki with resentment as they raised their shoulders.
It was quite lethal, but Mitsuki didn't feel as pressured as the breeze.
"... that's what I'm saying. You can ask as many questions as you like, Mr. Renee."
René, who had been watching the course until then, told the examiner clearly.
"Ah, ahh... Is it okay if I ask you a question?
"It's okay. Hey?"
While the examiner answered that, he saw Mitsuki.
"Yes, I don't care who's here."
"I see. Well then, don't hesitate."
René had a slightly cramped smile on Mitsuki, who answered lightly, but soon turned to the raider.
Instead of thinking about Mitsuki, we now prioritize the Raiders.
After that, things went well.
Mitsuki was right, the raiders answered Rene's question honestly.
Even so, the raiders didn't have much information.
That means the other party is also quite vigilant.
I didn't have any information that would lead me directly to the person who requested the raid.
I think I know the name of the organization that the elves requested.
The organization was originally rumored to be taking on dark requests.
I don't know what kind of route the client came into the organization, unless it was the top of the organization.
The discussion (interrogation) with the raiders was over, as there would be no point in asking any more questions.
I don't think we'll get any more information, but they're important evidence of the raid.
But René doesn't know how to use them.
We caught him alive at the corner, so we're taking him to the next town, but they'll give it to the guards.
If this raid involves a high-ranking human being, it can be rubbed away, but René is not responsible for that.
René laughed that it was futile to negotiate with an army of merchants.
Of course, I will inform the requested Merchant Guild that there has been an attack, but René can do nothing more.
Even as an examiner, I think it would be good if we could finish the current escort request quickly.
After all, they didn't want to stick their necks in the extra.
