Let's Manage The Tower

Two Knights inspected the luggage while the examiners and René were watching.

Unlike the disturbances at the gate, the inspection itself was carried out smoothly.

The examiner didn't even know what role the two Knights usually played, but it looked like they were used to doing the work.

The Knights have heard from René that they sometimes inspect their luggage, so they're probably used to it.

The two Knights didn't show any strange movements, as if they were watching each other.

To be precise, it may be more correct not to do so, but the truth is unknown.

"No particular abnormality was found in the luggage. Thank you for your help with the investigation."

And when the members of the First Knights declared, the Knights inspected the luggage.

Because the results were described lightly, I probably didn't intend to take a fried leg in particular.

The warehouse, which had been inspected, had once again regained its quiet.

"But what did the Knights want to do?

Renee leaned her neck and Kaiseki leaned her neck in the same way.

In front of them is a box that appears to hold a royal offering.

The real thing is in Kouchi's item box, so what's in the box in front of me is a fake.

However, the Knights never looked at the appearance of the offering, but they didn't try to look inside.

Regardless of the number of inspections for which a warrant has been issued, I don't think I'm going to open the royal offering on my own, but I'm not sure that the inspection itself was carried out.

"I don't know, maybe you were just going to do an examination.

That's what I said, but I don't think that's what I said either.

When Kaiseki and Rene were both tilting their necks together, Mitsuki's advice flew from listening to the story.

"Isn't it true that the First Knights wanted to inspect only their offerings, not the whole thing?

"No, so that's... ah?!

It was a study aid that tried to reflect off Mitsuki's words, but on the way, I realized what she wanted to say.

"Simply the First Knights wanted a note that the offering was authentic?

That's what I'm talking about.

In the words of the examiner, Rene also looked as if she could understand.

The examiners decided that the First Knights who caused the trouble were masters, but it was actually better to give orders to the Third Knights who thought they were here to help.

If the First Knights had had a warrant in the first place, the Third Knights would have been inspected without mixing up.

Once the inspection is complete, you can get a note that the Knights' inspection is complete.

If the actions of the First Knights were to guide those who wish to carry them to King's Landing normally, it would be too much of a tattoo for the examiners.

Furthermore, the delayed Third Knights did not want to leave the results of the "First Knights inspected", but came to disturb them.

The First Knight's inspection was interrupted to see how they could get in the way of it.

It's just speculation, but it's not impossible.

"Hmm. Sure, I have to think about it, but..."

"Well, you can't help worrying about it here. Anyway, we survived the mountains."

That's right.

From the very beginning, both René and the auxiliary students were unaware of the noise associated with the royal offering.

They just want to get their luggage safely to King's Landing.

To be clear, it doesn't matter what the two Knights were doing behind it.

Having come to that conclusion, Kaiseki and René left the scene with a relaxed face.

At midnight on the day the Knights were inspected.

There was a clearly suspicious figure in the warehouse where the royal offering was placed.

It was a warehouse that was more heavily guarded than usual because of the sacrifices placed, but still the figure who dived through the security could be said to be quite skilled.

In fact, two guards are down beside the shadow.

It was the guard who was guarding it right next to the offering that fell.

The defeat of the two guards in an instant also shows that the figure is quite capable.

The Chamber of Commerce, which manages the warehouse, did not pay for the guards.

I hired quite a talented adventurer.

Because it is defeated in an instant, it is quite an arm.

The figure had been working in front of the offering for some time, but immediately left the place.

After a while, the two guards recovered from the shadow attack and rushed to check the offering, but they were relieved to see how it was placed.

Nevertheless, it was clear that he was under some kind of attack from his physical condition.

At first they thought of deception, but in the end they decided to report honestly.

The next morning.

Kaiseki, who was washing his face and eating breakfast at ease, was reported to have been sneaked into the warehouse last night by René, who looked similarly relaxed.

They're not in a hurry because they know what's in the warehouse isn't real.

Incidentally, only Kaosuke and Rene, and then Kouchi himself and Mitsuki, know that Kouchi keeps the real thing.

As a result, René, who appeared in a relaxed manner, approached the security guard at the warehouse with an angry expression.

"Why are you relaxing when you reported being attacked!

"No, that's right, but I heard that the offering itself is safe.

"That's not the problem!

The person in charge kept complaining about Renee for some time about not sleeping after receiving the incident report.

Meanwhile, the examiner was talking to Kouhi and Mitsuki a little further away.

"... what do you think?

Excellent replacement.

"Case-by-case?

"Yes"

"Wow, that's amazing. I don't know what it looks like."

The sacrifice to the royal family was placed in the same place where the Knights were inspected yesterday, but it was completely different from yesterday's.

Someone who broke in last night replaced it with something from the exact same case.

As Kaiseki said, it looks exactly the same in appearance.

I had asked Kouchi in advance to identify what would happen.

Incidentally, what the intruder took was fake in the first place, so it makes no sense at all.

"We can follow them, but what do we do?

"Hmm? Well, you can just leave it like this. It's going to be quiet until we get to King's Landing."

In response to Mitsuki's question, Kaiseki responded in a relaxed tone.

If the mastermind who attacked the caravan until now mistakenly assumes that he got the real one with this intrusion and the raid is gone, it will be much easier to move forward.

"Okay. You can just leave it alone."

"Yeah."

After a brief decision on future policy, Renee finally arrived.

It was a gentle expression whether it was tightly squeezed.

I couldn't tell the truth, so I kept complaining.

"I'm finally free."

"Good work."

I called Renee with a tired expression to comfort her.
