Let's Manage The Tower

"Well, I've heard a lot about what you wanted to hear."

King Ernest removed his gaze from the study and turned to the others.

Renaissance's gaze hardened her nerves.

"Don't get so hard. I was just trying to get them to reward me. What do you want?

A line that consolidates itself more than ever after a sudden offer.

Seeing it, Kaiseki laughed bitterly and set out a rescue ship.

"King, suddenly I don't get nervous when you say that."

"... hmm. That's a problem. If I could, I'd like to ask you not to pinch the extra person in between."

Having heard the words of King Ernest, Kaiseki understood exactly what he wanted to say.

If you inform the reward beforehand, you will definitely get opinions from bureaucrats and others.

That's why I wanted to know what I wanted as a reward by asking directly.

Nevertheless, Lene and the others don't know how much they can demand in this case.

Between them, bureaucracy can be a breeding ground for fraud, but it also includes such help.

Kaiseki decided to send out a help ship to the Renaissance, who remained solidified.

"There must have been something I was talking about during the escort. I don't think it's a problem to demand that much."

This time, Renee and the others became flustered in the words of the examiner.

I did tell jokes during my journey about "what would be good if I received a reward?"

I didn't really think this was going to happen.

"Oh, really?

Claire, who had recovered first, was afraid to ask the examiner.

"Yes, as far as the King is concerned, I think it will be all right."

"What? Do you have anything you want? Let's just say it. If it doesn't work, I just say no."

The King also came aboard the Kaiseki Boat.

The kingdom's people beside him could not stop at the King's offer, and some looked like they had bitten a bug.

Fearing the momentum of Kaosuke and King Ernest, once he swallowed his mouth, Claire gently turned it into a word of hope.

"So... I don't want the party members' weapons, if possible..."

I was somewhat suspicious about the use of words because I was nervous, but still I managed to express my hope.

The king who heard it had a jiotong look.

"What, is that enough? Very well. We will send their weapons later. Where are the others?

"So, let's do the same thing!

"Well, if I could get a commercial carriage..."

Just as Claire continued, the other two were able to offer their respective hopes.

"I don't really want it anymore. There can be no problem if it is that much. Let's make sure to give it to her."

The words of the king made Renee and the three of them shine.

Seeing it with satisfaction, the king finally glanced at Kaiseki and smiled.

"Well, that's going to be the hardest part."

In the words, Kaiseki shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't think so, but... there are two hopes."

Hmm?

The king, who did not expect two rewards, leaned his neck.

People around me are making noise over unprecedented offers.

"I'll say no, but it's not about money."

"Hmm... let's try it again."

"Yes, well... the first one is a question, so I want an answer to it. Of course, it is up to the King to give or not to give an answer."

As a reward without meaning, the surrounding people who were noisy and insane also had another atmosphere.

It's unprecedented to want to reward answers to questions.

As an examiner, I could say that I answered the King's call because I wanted to hear this.

Did you feel the intention of such an examination? The King's expression, which seemed to be a pleasant expression until now, returned to a serious object.

"Mm... Let me tell you something."

"That's right... Did you get what you wanted in this case?

This was the question Kaiseki wanted to ask the King.

It seems like you're simply asking about the offering, but of course not.

What Kaiseki wants to ask is the original purpose of transporting this gift.

But normally, people around me won't be able to answer properly.

That's why I dared to ask you this.

It was only after the King had found that his intentions had been properly understood.

In the first place, there is something strange about this shipment of gifts.

The offering itself is a material for monsters that can be hunted by high-ranking adventurers.

As long as you give me the money, I can get it easily.

It is not something to be carried until you inform the people around you that it is a sacrifice.

Moreover, according to what Hano told me about the transportation of these gifts, the contents have changed and have been carried out for a long time.

That was from the very beginning of the kingdom of Tausen.

Then it would be natural to think that there is another purpose.

The purpose of this has been explored a lot until now, but it has not been proven yet.

However, Kaiseki, who was not sure until he met the King, was able to prove it in the previous story.

That's why I asked you the question earlier.

I don't care if I don't get an answer.

Hmm...

The questioned king stared at the study aid for a short while and looked around further before answering.

"Oh, you brought me some good stuff. That's why it's a reward."

As for the sacrifice, it was a word that could only be taken in the sense, but the King's attitude gave me enough answers.

"I see. That's good."

That's why I answered the exam so quickly.

Only a very limited number of people noticed the true meaning of the two interactions.

It was as if Kaiseki had seen it, and it seemed that only one of the kings beside him had noticed it.

Others did not change their facial expressions, but felt that they did not understand the meaning.

The shipment of this sacrifice was carried out by the royal family to keep an eye on the movements of the nobles in the country.

This time there was a battle between the First Knights and the Third Knights, but there would have been many other movements in places that the examiners did not understand.

I see such behavior, and I see the nobles standing around in Japan.

In some cases, those who have done too much may also be subject to disciplinary action.

This time, even using a criminal organization, they were aiming for the lives of transporters.

I don't know if I've asked the Adventurers Guild to be royal, but whoever's after the "offering" to the royal family will be punished accordingly.

I do not know what punishment will be imposed or whether there is another transaction behind it.

The idea was to consider that the transportation of sacrificial items was one of the means of domestic control of the royal family.

And I was able to know that it wasn't wrong with the attitude of the current king.

I don't intend to say anything more about examinations.

After that, the king and the kingdom decide.

As I said before, the role of the Adventurer is to be asked and accomplished.

The original thoughts of the client are irrelevant as long as they are not used for crimes, etc.

That's why I decided to get an answer in the form of a "reward" this time.

The result was an answer that was too satisfactory.

Now you can get one of the "rewards".

There is one more "reward" that the examiner wanted.

The "reward" became a great "reward" for the kingdom of Tausen rather than a study aid, and King Ernest later told his successor's son.
