Let's Manage The Tower

(5) Request for nomination

The Crown branch of the Kingdom of Smit is considerably larger than it was in the early days.

In the first days, the movement of objects and people was also fairly restricted, but after its usefulness was recognized, the restrictions were lifted gradually.

As a result, they are treated almost the same as the transfer gates that connect to the towns of the Central Continent.

Of course, strict rules such as checks and tariffs were in place to ensure that the connections were made outside the country for each other.

Over the long time since the transfer gate was connected, the results have gradually been achieved, and it has settled to the current shape.

However, the detailed rules are still changing, and there is no doubt that they will continue to change depending on the situation.

Since it was the first time in many ways, it was largely expected that trial and error would continue.

We know that even with that much effort, we can benefit each other, so there is no talk of closing the branch at all, but even talk about increasing the number of gates.

And for the Kingdom of Smit, the benefits of the Amamiya Tower are growing.

There was a gentleman visiting such a Crown branch.

It was Christoph, the prince of this country, who brought in a large number of guards.

Usually they come after a meeting, but this day they come suddenly and confuse the branch staff.

Originally, Christopher would not have done such a thing to avoid confusion, but only this time, it was very quick.

I was forced to use my position for that purpose to summon an adventurer.

Of course, the adventurer is Kou.

A branch staff member came to the lodging and rushed along with Kouhi. Prince Christoph suddenly lowered his head when he entered the room and confirmed that there were no other people involved.

"I'm sorry for calling you so suddenly!

The auxiliary student who was trying to complain a little about his appearance was distracted.

"Eh!? Oh, no, yeah. Well, what happened?

Originally, I would be in a stronger position, but it would be awkward if a prince of a country could come out badly.

The feeling around here hasn't changed yet.

Prince Christophe, who had a pleasant expression in response to the examiner's reply, first suggested that he sit down.

"First of all, I want to tell you that the people here are close to me and know Kou."

Prince Christophe said so, pointing to several guards standing beside him.

When he came, he was surrounded by more people, but it wasn't big enough for everyone to put in the boulder.

That's why Prince Christophe himself drove them away.

Incidentally, the remaining guards have confirmed that they were assistants during previous disturbances.

I didn't worry about acting as Kou in the first place because I told you at the previous discussion, but Prince Christophe took care of the area.

But that's why I don't know why I called you like this.

I see. So, what can I do for you?

"Actually, it is. As an adventurer, I'd like to ask Kou to nominate me."

Yes?

In the words of Prince Christoph, Kaiseki shouted out an unexpected madness.

It's not like the prince would go out and ask for anything.

Did you notice that feeling coming out of your face? Prince Christoph kept on looking like he couldn't say anything.

"I know I wouldn't ask for it myself, but there were circumstances..."

"What is it?

"In fact, my royal family has a lesson that allows them to make their own medicine."

I don't have to say what medicine it is.

It is a medicine using Frier grass.

For the Kingdom of Smit, I knew that medicine using Frier grass was important, but I was surprised that the royal family didn't think it was making it themselves.

"So, is that a request to get Frier grass?

Although everyone here knows the true nature of the study aid, their current position is only that of the adventurer.

The examiner is talking carefully so as not to break the words as much as possible.

"No, Frier grass itself is coming directly to the Royal Family, but the problem is with other herbs."

Oh, I see.

You don't always use one herb to make one medicine.

The examiner nodded thinking that he would need another herb.

However, he continued to wonder whether it would be appropriate to ask an adventurer for the ingredients of such an important medicine.

"But isn't it difficult for me to collect it alone?

In the first place, I came to accompany Peach this time, so I can't go that far.

In the discussion the other day, the prince should have understood the circumstances of such a study aid, but seeing it with the thought, it seemed that the prince also had a firm feeling about it.

"You may be mistaken, but the ingredients I need for medicine are not a specialty of this country."

What?

"All I need now is what I can get in this neighborhood."

Really?

"Yes, it was originally taken by someone else, but the circumstances overlapped, making it difficult to ask him."

Hearing the explanation from Prince Christoph, Kaiseki understood the situation.

In short, I would have asked Sucubus to collect samples, but this case made it difficult to do so.

I didn't think Sucubus was doing such a job, but considering the content, it is a good request to train low-level people.

It was a hands-on training for these people, but this noise made it impossible.

After listening to Prince Christoph, I somehow decided to understand the situation with pleasure.

In the first place, he only decided to stay with Peach, and in the meantime, he intended to request the Crown appropriately.

As far as I can hear, it seems to have been collected nearby, so there is no major problem.

If so, a direct request from the royal family may be problematic, but the name "kou" has already spread to some extent within the Crown organization, so it will be fine.

Even though adventurers know that they are being asked to be nominated, they don't even know who they are from.

It is also the duty of the Crown and the Alliance to keep the client secret.

Not to mention that when the opponent became royal, it was natural not to publicly announce the client.

"I'll take care of that, but what about the delivery?

"I'll make sure it's okay at the crown desk, as usual."

There's no need for the Prince himself to deliver the materials.

Then perhaps it would be better to send my subordinates to collect it from the beginning, but it is also the reason why I can't do it.

Royalty becomes royalty and is tied to crap from the outside.

Really? When will you start?

"We'll have to go through the process properly, so maybe in a few days."

Even as Prince Christophe, I have never sent a direct request for nomination, so I don't know the detailed schedule.

This time, there should be no emergency treatment, so it should take extra time.

It was decided to check the area with the staff.
