Let's Manage The Tower

(12) Noise in front of the branch

After returning to King's Land from the collection of materials that day, Kaiseki saw a crowd in front of the Crown branch from afar.

The buildings of the Crown branch in the Kingdom of Smit are built outside the gates, following the example of other branches in the Central Continent.

If there were people there, it would stand out if there were no response.

That's why I quickly realized the situation when I was studying for a job that wasn't as good as Kouchi.

"What is that?

The examiner leaned his neck while saying so.

"Looks like there's been some noise. It seems to be divided into two opposing parts."

"Split into two?

The examiner rounded his eyes without understanding the meaning.

If you are a member of the Crown, there is no need to bother making noise outside the building.

There is a limit to the space, so it is a problem if the number of people exceeds 100, but even if it seems that Kaiseki has seen the flow stone, it doesn't seem that many people have gathered there.

In case of trouble caused by noise inside, there may also be forced withdrawal, so it is possible that they are intentionally going out and causing trouble.

However, when Kaiseki entered the building just now to confirm the request, there were no such signs.

Of course, something may have happened after the exam, so I can't say anything.

As we approached, Kouchi realised what was going on.

"Crown members seem to be holding back a group complaining about the way the portal is handled."

"Transfer gate?

"Anything is unfair for a Crown member to use freely without paying."

"Oh, my God."

In a way that approached the mere assertion, the examiner looked stunned.

In the first place, the transfer gate fees are collected by Razek Amamiya and the Crown pays for them.

If you're an adventurer, it's not like you haven't paid for it at all, as you're taking it from your client.

Apart from adventurers, merchants frequently use transfer gates, but they are another way of collecting them.

If the Crown was in charge of everything before Razek Amamiya was able to do, then such opinions are not at all divergent.

However, once Razek Amamiya was created and the state was left with complete control of the transfer gate, it could be said to be completely out of control.

"Are you ignorant or just want to wear a toy? I don't know what that means."

That's right.

Kouchi also nodded at the words of the examiner.

Although the Smit Kingdom's transfer gate has been in place for a long time, it was only in the last five years that it was possible to enter and exit freely with the Razek Amamiya side.

Nevertheless, the rules when using the transfer gate are thorough, so it is now more than ever.

Without knowing why such a disturbance was happening now, Kaosuke and Kouchi approached the scene with their heads tilted.

As I approached the building, I also learned the details of the exam.

At first, a non-Crown adventurer complained and the staff explained.

But while the unconvinced adventurer complained, the other adventurers joined him and the other side became a big place.

Still, the staff tried hard to explain, but the adventurers who were not willing to listen from the beginning said half the things that were ridiculous.

An adventurer belonging to the Crown who missed out on a staffer who must deal with this noise.

The initial interaction between staff and adventurers has already turned into a conflict between adventurers.

In the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Smit, there is not a clear difference between adventurers who do not belong to the Crown and adventurers who do.

However, there was a slight difference in the amount of money earned by using the sales counter in the branch to bring in materials freely.

Technically speaking, the ingredients of the monsters that can be taken around here are only known, so there is a difference such as an increase in the number of meals per meal, but the grass next door looks blue.

I suppose the discontent that I get from everyday days saying, "Crown guys..." came here and exploded.

However, from the Crown side, what are you talking about?

If you are dissatisfied with the status quo, just get into the crown.

It's not just about sorting and putting in specific people, so that's what it's all about.

I see.

The examiner, who had entered the building and heard about the situation from the staff, sighed.

There are other adventurers in there, and not all Crown members participate.

Nevertheless, what if (anti-?) As the number of members on the Crown side increased, it was understandable from the atmosphere that they also participated.

The staff were also in trouble with the situation outside, and I knew I was trying to manage it.

However, it was the same in all worlds that Hei-no-hei's staff were unable to take a thoughtful response.

"Are there no executives?

I can handle this at a time like this, but I can't do it unless I'm an executive.

At this branch, I became the branch manager, but the staff member who was talking to the examiner shook his head to the left and right.

"Nobody's here right now."

I didn't say exactly where I went. That was the response.

Unlike a society where personal information is hidden, it is quite normal in this world to disclose the whereabouts of human beings above without proper education.

When I heard the staff's answer, I remembered something.

"Oh, I see. Is today the day of the regular meeting?"

The words murmured so that they could not be heard around him, and were heard firmly by Kouhi, who was next to him, and the staff member in front of him.

The clerk who picked up the murmur looked a little surprised.

Regular meetings are meetings in which executives from a branch manager's or higher class gather at headquarters.

It was a meeting unique to the crown because there was a means of transportation that could be moved in an instant called a transfer gate.

In a world where the usual means of transportation are carriages or ships, the larger the organization, the less executive-class people come together to discuss.

If you're a regular adventurer, you can't think of a branch manager class executive holding a meeting like every month.

That's why the staff showed a surprised look.

The official perceived that the person in front of him was an adventurer in a position to know the existence of the regular meeting.

Anyway, it's information that anyone on the staff knows about.

The staff member did not ask for anything or rely on the examiner, and the conversation ended there.

The examiners who broke up with the staff moved to an unseen place.

"Are you going back to the tower?

Kouchi saw the behavior and realized that Kaiseki was about to do so.

Kaiseki is using the abilities of Yuriyuki Shrine to return to the Tower.

"Yeah, something caught up in that noise. I feel bad if I don't deal with it right away."

Really?

Kouhi nodded convincingly with just one word from the examiner.

In fact, it's just a reflection, but for Kouhi, even if he leaves out the words of the gods of the real world, it's a reason to go back to the tower sufficiently.

It doesn't matter to Kouchi, such as the specific grounds.

Nana, come here.

When I saw Kouchi nodding and Kaiseki said so, Nana came along with me to stay close.

I knew what I was going to do because I knew what I was going to do.

Soon after Nana arrived, Kaiseki used his abilities to transfer to the Yuriyuki Shrine in the Amamiya Tower.

The act, which was carried out after thoroughly checking the surroundings, was never seen by anyone.
