Let's Manage The Tower
(5) Doubt
After leaving the tower, the auxiliary students returned to the inn, peeking at the stall, as usual.
The Alliance's opening process is scheduled for the next day.
The process of opening an Alliance in the City of Seychun can be cumbersome, unlike anything else.
First, the Tower Strategies Alliance, which operates the Tower, will renew the cards to prove that they have surely crossed the 21st level, and then go to the Public Alliance to open the original Alliance.
It is a necessary procedure because it is conditional on the breakthrough of the Gazelan tower to the twenty-first floor.
These administrative procedures were carried out the next day, because it was too much trouble, just the day I got back from the tower to the boulder.
And the next day I came out of the tower of Gazenrun.
They visited the Tower Strategy Alliance at the foot of the Tower as planned.
The purpose, of course, was to come to the process of getting them to prove that they had crossed the 21st level.
It was coincidentally the first woman to accept me.
"Yes? Is it a certificate of guild establishment?
Instead of knowing what she said, the woman asked to make sure what she said was not wrong.
The examiner nodded that it wasn't a mistake with a smile.
"Yes, it's a corner, so I'd like to create a guild."
Really?
In the words of the examiner, the woman who had a sales smile in the usual way hardened with her expression.
Behind that line of sight is a tower attack card offered by Kaiseki.
I also checked the exam aid again, but there is no doubt that there is no problem because the highest level of attainment is the twenty-first floor.
"? Because the hierarchy is cleared properly, there should be no problem?
After tilting her neck and saying so, the receptionist finally restarted her movement.
However, the smile remains firm.
"Yeah, yeah. There's no problem... Wait a minute."
That's what the woman said, and she ran to the back of the room with the card.
I had doubts in my head that the exam aid that I saw was a little bad, but there is nothing I can do about it now.
I decided to wait very long for the woman to come back.
A few minutes after the woman disappeared into the back.
The receptionist came back with a woman who looked like she could do anything.
"Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry, but our representative would like to speak with you. May I come with you?
The receptionist said so, but the examiner leaned his neck to stop it.
"Did something happen? I don't think there's any particular problem with this one?
If you go this far, I know what the problem is even as an examiner.
Nevertheless, I did not intend to obey the promise at all, so I heard that.
A skilled woman spoke on behalf of the receptionist who tried to answer the words of the examiner.
"We don't think anything went wrong either. I just want to ask you a few questions. However, it also contains personal information..."
The woman looked around, smelling that it was hard to hear in this place where many people gathered.
As an examiner, it was sufficient to hear the words, but on top of that, I repeated the following questions.
Is that what this is about? Then, of course, the other two should follow along, right?
I heard about it in the confirmation body, but if I don't take it with me, I smell that it won't go with me.
The other woman must have figured it out.
I lost my sight for a moment, but nodded immediately.
"Yes, of course. Please join us."
That's what the woman said. She showed the technique followed by the examiners and started walking into the back room.

The room that was guided was a room with luxurious furnishings.
As important as the tower of Gazelan occupies an important position in the western continent, it is also possible to welcome more than certain identities.
"Please, sit down here."
The woman said so while showing the sofa.
The sofa was just big enough for three people to sit on, so Kaiseki sat in the middle, Kouhi on the right, and Mitsuki on the left.
After seeing the three of them settle down, the woman who led them started talking.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Alta. I am the deputy representative of this guild."
It was no mistake to think that the assistant student was the master, and what a woman she was was the deputy representative of the Tower Strategy Alliance.
The named Kaiseki tried to name herself, but Alta stopped and kept talking.
"I already know your names, so it's okay."
Really?
Even though I was told that it had been investigated, I didn't know what to say as an examiner, so I answered just that.
And then I decided to ask why I called you into this room.
"So? May I ask why you went all the way to this room?
Alta shook her neck vertically.
"Of course. Because that's the goal. So, what I want to ask you is, are you sure you want to create an Alliance?
I see.
"It certainly seems that the card has crossed the 21st level, but when was it crossed?
"Yesterday. You should have seen it coming out of the tower earlier.
"Yes, I've heard that too."
In conversation with Alta, the examiner wondered what she wanted to know.
What they've heard so far is that they don't have to bother purchasing information from themselves.
"I heard from her that you guys came here about half a month ago and made a card?
"Yes, definitely."
I nodded honestly because I didn't hide it.
"That means you've been to the 21st floor in about half a month."
When Alta said so, she finally understood what she suspected.
Certainly, from their point of view, Kaiseki, who understood that she had to doubt the matter, decided to cut the story out of herself.
"Oh, is that so? You suspect that we may have forged the card."
While she laughed and said so, she carefully stared at Alta's expression.
The look on Alta's face remained almost unchanged, whether he understood the attention being paid to it by the examiners.
On top of that, he answered while swinging his neck to the left and right.
"I don't doubt the boulder that much. The card you are making here gives you exactly what is made of the tower. In other words, it is equal to a divine instrument. I don't think it's easy to forge something like that."
"Ah, is that so? Then why?
"I simply wanted to ask you how you got to level 21 in this short period of time."
Alta said so lightly, but still Kaiseki didn't take the word for it.
I've never heard the cards out here being a godsend, but I don't need to believe it's true.
Nevertheless, I understood Alta's intentions, so I decided to honestly talk about the strategy we carried out.
Alta nodded with a convincing expression after hearing how to attack the examiners.
"I understand that it's not impossible because of my ability to party."
"That's good."
"But no matter how much C rank, how easy is it to deal with monsters?
"Well, you'll have to convince me... Oh, yeah."
Alta, who was showing reflective manners after seeing his hands hit as Kaiseki remembered, looked at him.
"What is it?
"We are originally adventurers in the Central Continent. This ranking is also in the Central Continent."
After hearing the words of the examiner, Alta finally felt convinced.
The story of the difference in rank between the Central and other continents seemed to have reached here as well.
Is that what this is all about? If that's the case, you're still convinced. I'm sorry I held you for so long. "
"No, as far as I'm concerned, I hope you agree."
Just knowing that the adventurers of the Central Continent are valued more than I thought would be enough.
Afterwards, they were not particularly forced to ask about anything, and were issued certificates successfully, leaving the Tower Attack Alliance behind.
