Let's Manage The Tower

(26) Exception handling

I was an assistant studying the fountain on the 52nd floor, but nothing was found after that, so I decided to return to the base.

This time, I was originally in the tower to collect materials, so I had to store them.

I can still afford the deadline, but I'm sure I'd be glad to give it to you sooner.

This is all the more true because we are also working with requests from public guilds this time.

Returning to the base, the Apprenticeship divided the materials into those that were given to the Tower Attack Alliance and those that were not.

In addition, apart from passing it to the Tower Attack Alliance, it can be split into requests from public Alliances or otherwise.

Anything else classified on the public Guild bulletin board will be handled on the spot.

The rest will be sold to the Crown's commercial division later.

"Speaking of which, aren't the Romans having trouble disposing of the excess material?

It was an examiner who was sorting out the materials, but I asked Eko, who was watching the situation.

Bringing the monster back to its limit, as usual, will make it difficult to deal with the material.

Unlike the Central Continent, it is customary in this continent to take home only the materials requested.

It is almost impossible for the Adventurer himself to sell off to the Merchant Guild.

The exception is when a major Adventurer Alliance receives a direct request from the Merchant Alliance.

Asked by the examiner, Eko nodded with her neck swinging up and down.

"Yes, so I decided to take it to the warehouse and have the person in charge check it out later. I get people from headquarters once a week."

Ekko already seemed to be aware of the problem and was taking good measures.

Connect the transfer gate to the base room only once a week, from where they can summon personnel to make purchases.

Of course, connecting the transfer gates is a secret.

Well, then, don't worry.

Materials are bought at a price on the Central Continent, but there's nothing you can do about it.

If we can formally act as a branch of the Crown, we will eventually be able to achieve consistency.

If the transfer gate is installed in the first place, the problem of distance will disappear, so there is a tendency to reduce disparities between regions.

Experience so far had shown such things.

After finishing organizing the materials, he went to the public guild with Kouchi and Peach.

Once you have processed the request you received, check the bulletin board.

I will dispose of any materials I have.

As expected, there were some requests that could be disposed of, so I took them together to the reception.

After seeing the request brought by the examiner, the receptionist had a suspicious expression for a moment, but after checking the contents, she immediately entered the process with a satisfactory appearance.

I was intrinsically impressed by the excellent reception, but there is a reason for this.

Originally, there was a limit to the number of requests a party could receive, but the examiner brought it beyond that limit.

For a moment, I had a suspicious look trying to point it out, but if I met certain conditions, I could accept a request beyond that limit.

The receptionist who confirmed the request brought by the examiner confirmed that all the conditions were met, so the process proceeded without saying anything.

But it's just an exception, and many people don't know it.

Yes, like one of the adventurers who just got involved in the exam.

"Hey, wait a minute."

In response to that voice, the examiner turned around and confirmed that there was an adventurer with an unconvincing expression ahead.

"Anything?

"It's not something. Why, you're under special treatment!

"Special treatment?

The adventurer turned frustrated by the strange study aid with his neck tilted.

"Don't be a fool! You took the request beyond the limit because you saw it!

The examiner was convinced heartily that the adventurer heard such a thing.

I can also see that the other adventurers who were watching were watching us.

"No, this isn't special, is it?

"Bullshit! Normally, you can't take requests beyond the limit!? What's so special about that?

The adventurer, who noticed that he was getting the attention of the surrounding people, became good at seeing the faces of the adventurers around him become convinced after hearing the words.

The examiner who saw it thought to himself, "Well, what happened?"

I don't mind telling you myself, but it was subtle of you to convince me.

At that time, I noticed the receptionist asking about us.

The assistant who saw it decided to leave the explanation to the receptionist.

I thought it would be more convincing for other adventurers to have a proper explanation from the Guild staff than to say so.

"Can I ask for an explanation?

Suddenly she looked at herself and said such a thing, and the receptionist rounded her eyes for a moment, but she nodded immediately to convince the adventurer who had been involved in the examination.

"Il, I'll explain."

Apparently, the receptionist knew the adventurer involved.

I didn't know whether I didn't like the fact that my favorite receptionist treated the exam aid specially, or whether I mistook it for being threatened by the exam aid, but it was a strangely convincing exam aid.

"Mia, but..."

An adventurer called Il tried to say something after seeing Chilari and the examiner, but Mia, the receptionist, stopped him.

"First of all, I don't treat Kou differently."

"Then...!

"Listen to me until the end."

Il stopped talking to Mia, who probably knew her, but didn't change her attitude as a receptionist.

It's an exchange that somehow shows the usual power relationship between the two.

After seeing Il, who stopped talking, Mia continued talking.

"There are limits to the requests you can receive, but there are exceptions to them."

"Exception?"

Mia sighed at Il, whose expression seemed to be the first to hear it.

"I explained..."

He murmured as he said something like that, but he decided to change his mind and keep explaining.

Incidentally, some of the other adventurers who were paying attention to this interaction also looked like Il.

Some of the adventurers seemed to understand the situation with just that word, but it was an overwhelming minority.

"Only items that have passed the deadline and can be handed over instantly can be processed beyond the limit of the number of requests. Of course, the request deadline has passed, so in some cases the request fee may be lower."

"Really?!

To his surprise, Mia sighed openly.

"That's right. Of course, there are many other things because it is an exception, but it is OK to hold it down first. All of Kou's requests meet those conditions."

In Mia's explanation, Il looked at Kaiseki with a bad face.

I finally realized that I had done something strange.

I'm sorry.

It sounded a little bumpy, but after lowering his head firmly, Il went back to where his friends were.

I didn't even have time to say that I didn't care.

It must have been awkward.

She lowered her head when she looked at Mia.

"I'm sorry. I'll scold you later."

Mia said you're not going to hide that you know Il.

You know they've already leaked it with their attitude.

No, not really.

The assistant who was able to predict the situation of Il from Mia's expression somehow replied in that way.
