Let's Manage The Tower
(17) Visits (Part I)
Since the adventurer is inherently free, it is possible to refuse even if there is a call from the country.
Nevertheless, even for adventurers, being called from the country means that they got a note.
Most of the time, you won't say no.
Of course, there are many adventurers who rise to the top ranks without receiving calls from the country.
Rather, most of the higher-ranking adventurers are ranked up by asking the Alliance to do so.
Among them, the country will increase its prestige by making requests involving it or similar requests.
Such a skilled adventurer, even as a nation, invites him to the king to keep himself surrounded.
In that sense, it is okay to refuse a call from the King for those who do not need the endorsement of the country.
However, the examiner decided to accept the call.
That's because I didn't want to have a connection with the king, but I wanted to know what it meant to carry the sacrifice.
To be clear, the offering itself is not so unusual.
As you can see from the fact that the same offering has been sent for a long time, it is not something that other high-ranking adventurers cannot do.
This is a forecast of the study aid, but I don't think it has much significance for the offering itself.
For example, we are making it easier to control by causing a dispute over sacrifices and adjusting it so that it points to you.
There are many other advantages to identifying the adventurer's skills.
It is the idea of Kaiseki that he is using only one sacrifice for various things.
Before the meeting with the king, Kaosuke told Kouhi and Mitsuki about this, but they both agreed.
Nevertheless, predictions are only predictions.
By visiting him directly, I agreed to meet him, saying that if I understood that, I would be able to understand it.

The day of the meeting with the king.
Claire was moving around in the waiting room before the visit, feeling restless.
The only people here were the three examiners, the leaders of each party, and René, the merchant representative.
Regardless of the three directly nominated examiners, only the leader was called because of the abbreviated visit.
"Mr. Claire, why don't you calm down a little?
Looking at the situation from earlier, the examiner said so with a bitter smile.
"Calm down!
Claire responded reflectively, but the leader of the other party nodded with the same expression.
Incidentally, Renee also had a restless expression.
"On the contrary, how can you be so calm?!
Instead, Claire asked the examiners to look the same as usual.
I can't say that because I always talk to people called the queen, so I replied with a smile.
"Because you can't help rushing."
After being told that it was rustling, Renee sighed.
"Rather, is it because you seem accustomed to these things?
I did not answer the words that I was half convinced of, but laughed and deceived him.
However, the smile was the answer, but it didn't go any further.
"Well, that's fine. Don't you get anxious about what they say?
"If you say you won't, you'll be lying, but there's nothing to hide this time, so I think you'll have to worry about it from now on.
"... hah, I want a tenth of your heart."
Claire, who exhaled a big sigh, said so with a stunned expression.
While we were having this conversation, the door to the waiting room finally opened and the guide came in.
At last, we will meet the King.
And the party followed after the guide, and went to the room which the king was waiting for.

"The rest is King Ernesto of the Kingdom of Tausen."
The king, sitting in a chair in the middle of the room where he was supposed to meet, first said so.
The auxiliaries were not guided during large-scale observation of events, but rather as visiting rooms for meeting with nobles and large merchants.
Even though the room is small, the dress for the visit seems to be in order, sitting firmly on a throne chair.
They stood defending the throne, just equipped with the Knights of the Four.
Numerously, he said he was the captain of the Order.
I suppose he also serves as an escort.
"I just came to invite you."
I heard that some wording could be broken in advance, but Kaiseki lowered his head.
Kouchi and Mitsuki, who had stood back at the same time, also lowered their heads.
The other members were in a hurry to follow it.
"... hmm. You seem to be familiar with these kinds of places, but you don't feel like it?
"I'm very sorry for your compliments. But there are only a few opportunities for people like me to be in these situations."
It's not just modesty, it's the truth.
The examiner is never called to such a place in Razek Amamiya.
When the elite meet with Florian parents, they do this kind of interaction, but it is basically knowledge from books and so on, not actual experience.
Therefore, I kept it under control so that I could fail at any time.
Whether he saw through those thoughts or tried to see through something, King Ernest stared slightly at Kaiseki.
"Are you more of an adventurer named Kou?
"Yes, that's right."
So, the two people standing aside are Kouhi and Mitsuki.
"Yes"
"I see. Beautiful as they say."
King Ernest looked at Kouchi and Mitsuki and said something like that, even though he was making a topic to connect them to the next.
In contrast, Kouhi and Mitsuki remained silent.
At these times, they will not move unless something is done against the examiner.
After seeing two completely unresponsive people, the king decided that it was Kaiseki who had the lead among the three people, and turned again to Kaiseki.
"Well, thank you for your time. I can do it as a royal family thanks to the people who brought me what I needed."
Without saying anything specific, King Ernest easily asks for help.
"Thank you."
In contrast, the examiner simply replied briefly.
I don't intend to get my feet fried by the people around me saying anything extra.
Some people are actually frowning from the beginning.
I could only see the look on his face that he thought was adventurous.
That's why I'm not going to inject it into the King.
Frankly speaking, I don't care about such a person.
"Listen, did they kill those monsters?
"Yes, I was lucky enough to get involved with my client."
"Lucky, huh? According to my research, it shouldn't have taken me a week to complete the request?
"Yes, I was lucky enough to meet the monsters right away."
Kaiseki replied that he had been aiming to meet him from the beginning.
I've never lied before.
It's just that there are facts that I didn't say.
"I don't think we're just lucky enough to meet?
"Really?
"At least that's what he heard."
On the contrary, the King answered the question again.
The conversation so far is just like an outpost.
While feeling such nuances at the edge of the king's words, Kaiseki simply responded as if he were an ordinary adventurer.
