Let's Manage The Tower

(18) Sprinkle

Guided by the elves and crossing the boundary, the examiners arrived safely in the village where the carriage was kept.

I was able to recover it without any problems because I paid the extra fee.

It took a lot of time in the village of Elves and there was no business in the village itself, so I immediately boarded the carriage and tried to leave for the next destination, but the people on the horse stopped the traffic.

Surprised by the sudden stop of the carriage, Kaisuke looked directly at the body of the carriage, and there was a captain on the horse with a nice expression that he had seen before.

"Great. You made it."

The examiner protested with his face to the captain.

"It's not good. What does it mean to interrupt and stop the carriage as much as possible?

"I'm sorry. I had no choice but to stop their carriage."

I'm sure the captain is aware of what he did.

I immediately bowed my head and apologized.

I thought maybe I should be angry here, but in that case, it was going to be even more troublesome, so I decided to finish the captain's errand right away.

"That's enough. So, what can I do for you?

Mitsuki, who was at the Imperial Palace and was moving the carriage, had a dissatisfied expression, but Kaiseki cut it out while keeping his gaze down.

The captain nodded one after being asked to do so by the examiner.

"I'm talking about the case, but it's not like we're talking here, so could you follow me?

To the captain who said so, the examiner answered immediately.

"No."

I see. So... what?!

The captain opened his eyes and questioned me when I didn't get the answer I expected.

"I refuse," he said. Even so, it's a long journey, but I don't want to be delayed any longer. "

Actually, it wasn't a rush, but I decided to rush because of the schedule.

The captain looked troubled by such an examination.

I understand that my first response was bad, so I don't think I can get any stronger and I'm in real trouble.

The captain cut it out with a look he said he had no choice.

"Don't you want to know what happened?

"Especially. I was only involved with the elves. [M] The elves are already finished, so I don't care how you handle them."

I told them to throw it away, but I'm not really interested in how each country actually handled it.

It seems that several countries were involved in security, but it is not clear whether only one country or several countries were actually involved in public surveillance.

To be clear, it doesn't matter to the examiner.

Kaosuke made Kouhi hold the letter because he hoped that the forest of Seuri would be as quiet as possible.

The captain became more and more troubled by the words of the examiner.

As far as I can tell, they're asking me to bring him in from above.

Unfortunately, however, the assistant student did not intend to follow such a course.

"Or would you like to take us with you?

Knowing that he had no such authority, Kaiseki said so.

In the first place, the Seuri forest is a buffer zone that does not belong to any country.

Villages in the woods do not pay taxes to any country.

That's why the army that was patrolling the woods this time was made up of several countries.

Moving in one country's army would be seen as an attempt to invade the buffer zone of the Seuri forest.

Because of this situation, the captain in front of you should not have the authority to bring the examiner.

Unless, of course, the villagers tell me to catch you.

While looking at the captain in trouble, the examiner sighed inside.

It is not only the obstruction of the route mentioned earlier that Kaiseki has taken an obnoxious attitude towards the captain.

Kouhi and Mitsuki will naturally be aware of it because they are aware of it.

Someone has been watching the examiners for a while now.

The man finally showed up to see what the captain was up to.

It was a man dressed as a nobleman who appeared on a horse from the shadow of the building, lurking in the shade of the house.

"Well, wait. Could you listen to me for a moment?

The captain's attitude suggests that the man in front of him was directing something.

Looking at such a nobleman sideways, he sighed and said the same line again.

"No."

"Huh, what?

I didn't expect to be refused, but the aristocrat looked surprised.

"I don't know if you've noticed anyone with the King's Medal, but we're not going to be your men or follow your instructions."

"Nah, what?!

Didn't you think the Adventurer would tell you that? The aristocrat turned bright red and said so.

"Come, you! Who do you think I am!?

I made it clear to the nobles that I was going to do so.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested. Why don't you think a little more carefully about what it means for an adventurer to use the King's Medal freely outside the country?

"Nah, what?!

The nobleman said, blushing his face, that he didn't understand what Kaisuke said.

However, there is no reason why Kaiseki should take the trouble to teach the meaning properly.

The aide, who breathed deliberately, said to the nobleman at the end.

"If you don't know what it means, ask your friends around you."

The aristocrats who made their faces even more red in the words of the examiner didn't say anything more.

Maybe it's right that you couldn't say.

Because I know that Kaiseki has a "King's Medal".

Looking at such a nobleman as no longer cared, Kaiseki gave Mitsuki instructions.

Mitsuki, that's enough.

"Okay."

After receiving instructions from the examiner, Mitsuki finally moved the carriage.

I didn't move it until now because I was waiting for instructions from the examiner.

As long as you understand the exam aid, there is no problem.

After bypassing the captain in front of him, the scooters finally moved on to their next destination.

It seemed that the aristocrats were groaning in the back, but it had nothing to do with the examiners anymore.

There was a little disturbance, but by the time they left the village, the examiners had already forgotten about the nobility.

Kaiseki, who was relaxed in the carriage, was talking to Kouhi while gently stroking Nana's back.

"Hmm. Can we finally get to the Gazenrun Tower?

"What do you think?

According to Kouhi, who had included him, Kaisuke stopped stroking Nana's back and saw Kouhi.

"What do you mean?

"No. If the Lord's pull is strong, it would be strange if there is still some disturbance in this forest."

"Wow, that's terrible."

Kouchi is saying this, but of course it's a joke.

Normally Kouchi makes jokes like this.

However, in places where there are members other than Mitsuki, there is no such joke.

Since there are usually other members of the management team, it is rarely heard.

I can hear these jokes on this journey, so I enjoyed it enough as an examiner.
