Let's Manage The Tower
(13) Regular meetings
The regular meetings held at Crown Headquarters were already wrapped up in a relaxed atmosphere after completion of the schedule.
Beyond the meeting, we are also talking about the proper content, but the original purpose of this meeting is probably to include the implication of face-to-face meetings and exchanges in the executive class.
Since there are already more than twenty branches on continents other than the Central continent, these exchanges were also quite important.
Sometimes customs and common sense are different when continents are different.
Basically, the Crown has common rules, but there are parts that operate independently in each region.
If they do not depart from the common rules set by the Crown, they are operated at the discretion of each branch manager.
Depending on the view, the authority of the branch manager seemed to be quite large, but unlike when it was originally operated on the Central Continent alone, it was a measure taken because it began to operate across all continents.
In such a situation, it may be possible to resolve how to operate the crown by talking to each other in the respective branch manager class.
For this reason, this meeting has been a very meaningful time for each branch manager.
Seeing each branch manager talking to his thoughts, Gazelan noticed that there was a lot of noise near the door.
Occasionally Gazelan was the only one near the door, and the others didn't notice.
Gazelan, who had just not spoken to anyone, opened the door.
"What's wrong? Something happened to Kou. It's unusual to show your face here."
Confirming that it was Kaiseki who was interacting with the adventurer who was guarding the door, Gazelan held the adventurer down with his gaze and invited Kaiseki into the room.
Kouhi and Nana also accompanied the examiner.
"Ah, Mr. Gazelan. I'm sorry for the sudden loss."
Because I have other eyes, I also took a different and approachable attitude.
Even though there are more people gathered than the branch manager, few people know the identity of the examiner.
"That's fine, but what's the matter?
While feeling their gaze gathered, Gazelan ignored it and asked for help.
It is only natural to think that something happened after the examiner went out of his way to show himself here.
"There was a little disturbance where I was staying..."
"Oh, you're in the Kingdom of Smit, aren't you? What the hell happened?
"In front of the branch, people other than Crown members are gathering to make a scene."
Gazelan frowned at the words of the examiner.
"What do you mean?
It's not a routine thing for adventurers to make noise with each other, but it's quite a thing.
Gazelan, who knew he wasn't here for that reason, immediately called the branch manager of the Kingdom of Smith branch.
"Heino! Come here for a second!
The voice of Gazelan, who is still active, resounds well.
Heino, who was called by Gazelan, was far away, but soon noticed and rushed over.
"What's the matter, department head?"
Heino, who was called by Gazelan, asked after turning his head for a moment to study aids.
Heino himself has almost no combat abilities.
In the first place, the branch of the Kingdom of Smith was created to start trading, so the selected branch manager was also more talented than the merchant division.
Of course, even though Heino is a merchant, he also serves as a branch manager, as well as a vessel for gathering adventurers.
"Ah, listen to Kou for a second... Ah, should I call Schmidt?
Gazelan, who turned his attention to the exam assistant, asked the exam assistant that way as he remembered.
However, the examiner shook his neck to the left and right.
"No, I don't need it."
That's what Kaisuke said, and then he started talking to Heino about what was happening at the branch of the Kingdom of Smith.
Having heard from Kaiseki, Heino blushed slightly.
"S, come back soon...!
"Well, wait."
Gazelan stopped showing Heino in a hurry and turned to Kaiseki.
"Is there anything else you want to say about that face?
"Yeah, you both know what's happening in Smith right now, right?
Both Gazelan and Heino have information about the Dark Alliance.
Having heard the words of the examiner, Gazelan frowned.
"Are you suspicious of diversion?
Kaiseki came all the way to this place because he thought about what Gazelan just said.
Had I been convinced that the Dark Alliance had no diversion at all, I would not have come this far.
It happens so often, such as between adventurers.
Of course, the content of the noise this time, so the Crown will have to be involved to some extent, but that is okay even after the current situation becomes more serious.
But the story changes when the Dark Alliance is involved.
In response to Gazelan's question, Kaiseki shook his neck to the left and right.
"I don't know. But I don't think it's possible."
Having heard the words of the examiner, Gazelan roared "Hmm" and then looked at Heino.
"I certainly have to think about it. What do you think?"
Heino, bluishing his face as he listened, immediately tightened his expression and replied.
"I think you're right. Rather, you have a better chance."
"Hmm? On what grounds?
Gazelan asked Heino to be sure.
"Originally, I was dissatisfied with the treatment of the Transformation Gate, but this tended to be particularly strong among Dark Guilds."
I see.
"I don't know if the shadows of the kingdom and those who are hostile are happening, or if other forces are happening, but it is quite credible that they are being diversified."
After Heino said that, he continued to look at Gazelan.
"I'm sorry, I'll be right back to the branch."
"Oh, that would be better. I'll tell the other members.... Oh, and then!
Gazelan stopped Heino, who was about to walk out as soon as he heard back.
"What is it?
"If you need it, you can use the example features."
"... I was afraid."
Heino took a breath when he heard Gazelan's words, but immediately nodded and left the room.
Gazelan, who hurriedly stopped Heino from leaving, turned his attention to the study aid.
"So, what do you do?
"Now, what do we do? As an adventurer, I think it would be better to refrain from any further intervention without a request..."
When Kaiseki said so, Gazelan turned to this.
"Okay, okay. I'll get you a favor. Tell the shadows of the kingdom at least."
Roger that.
Looking at Gazelan with a sigh, Kaiseki laughed with a smile.
Now that you have a direct request from the department manager, you can shake a major player and intervene in this matter.
I was joking earlier, but I'm not mistaken if I can't move freely without a client, rather than just acting as an adventurer.
In order to do this, it is absolutely necessary to request a request from Gazelan.
Gazelan knew that, so he decided to make a quick request.
However, since the Crown has grown up to this point as an organization, there is hardly any direct request from the department head, and neither the examiner nor Gazelan thought about it.
