Let's Manage The Tower
(14) Activate!
Heino, who returned to the branch, was soon welcomed by one of the staff.
I was expecting one of Heino's closest associates.
I always interact with the other side when I go through the transfer gate, so I guess Heino already contacted me about coming back.
Heino stopped seeing his face and tried to start talking, and started talking to him first.
"I've heard some things. What's happening now?
Heino's proximity, whose eyes were rounded by his words, quickly regained its attention.
I didn't think Heino already knew what was going on.
"It's getting crowded, and I still don't see any sign of falling in. Apparently, there's also an agitation."
"... I see."
I had already grasped the concern of the examiners on the branch side.
I didn't notice it at first, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt the atmosphere was clearly guiding me, so when I put in the inquiry, I came up with a definite result.
"What about combat?
"Barely, it hasn't happened yet, but it doesn't matter when."
Having heard the report, Heino immediately made a decision.
Originally, Crowns and Adventurer Guilds have the principle of non-interference in adventure-to-adventurer disputes.
But if this happens, I can't say anything like that.
Even when Kaiseki had confirmed it in the first place, it was a level where the Knights of the Kingdom would normally intervene.
Even now, the Knights have not intervened because there is a branch outside the walls and because no harm has yet been done.
In addition, if the Knights intervene, it is possible that if they succeed, they will speak out about the operation of the branch.
The battle between the adventurers this time has been stirred up, but it is about the handling of the transfer gate.
It may be normal for the Crown to intervene on the pretext that it is difficult for disturbances to occur in the city, no matter how much it does not intervene.
For the Crown, the intervention of the Knights is something that we want to avoid at all costs.
Having heard from his close associates, Heino went to his office without going to the scene.
What I need is a private room that can only be accessed by a branch manager beyond that.
"Ah, um, which way to the branch manager?
That's what I heard when I saw my closest associate heading to the office.
"The office. I have something to do there. You tell Crown adventurers to stop fighting and get inside the building."
"Huh? Huh!
Mutual states are already quite pressing.
I thought it wouldn't fit just because one of them entered the building, but I followed the instructions honestly as to whether Heino had something to do with it.
Confirming that, Heino stepped faster into the back room from the office and activated the object of interest.
A branch outside the castle wall is a feature that is reserved for emergencies.
It is originally used for monster raids, but it is possible to use it in such riots.
That authority is left to the branch manager.
Nevertheless, this was the first time that Heino had used it since he had assumed the post of Branch Manager.
Heino started up in a room without a window, so he couldn't see it, but the moment he started it, the whole branch building was covered in blue membranes.
The sight, which I saw for the first time, attracted the attention of those who were causing trouble by ignoring the voice of the staff.
Heino activated a magic tool to keep outsiders from entering any branch.
Basically, people who don't have a Crown Card won't be able to enter the building.
Almost at the same time that the entire building was covered in the membrane, a voice using the magic instrument of the loudspeaker echoed around.
I'm Heino, head of the Crowne's Mitt branch. Tell those who are causing trouble there. As for the treatment of the transfer gate, I have told you before. No matter how noisy it is, there is absolutely no room for change.
If you're dissatisfied with the usage fee, you can just become a member of the Crown. With that in mind, if we are going to make any further noise, we will also report the Knights as willing to commit a group attack on the Crown.
Then, the crown members who are involved in the commotion should enter the building immediately. If there are people who continue to make noise after this, I will only inform them that it is possible to take forced withdrawal measures under the authority of the branch manager. "
After the proclamation echoed around, the Crown adventurers looked at each other and immediately headed for the branch building.
There was no one who wanted to oppose the banishment word that worked on the boulder.
The adventurers who had rebelled until now passed through a fearful blue membrane, holding them back from attacking.
Nothing happened when Crown adventurers passed by.
But it happened when a person who did not belong to the crown, and more importantly, a person who did not have a crown card, tried to pass through the membrane.
"Pain!?
There was a clattering sound, and at the same time, static electricity was accumulated and touched the metal.
"Shit! What the hell is this?!
Seeing them sigh outside the membrane, the adventurers belonging to the Crown also rounded their eyes.
Some of them were adventurers from the Central Continent, but I've never seen anything like it for them.
In anticipation of their thoughts, Heino's words continued.
I just moved the magic equipment to protect this building. For some time now, only Crown members will enter this building. Oh, if you want to be new to the Crown, wait outside.
As I said earlier, I hope that those who try to force themselves to go there will remember that they are willing to attack the crown. "
At the end of the day, Heino's words were deaf.
Crown-affiliated adventurers inside the membrane also entered the building one after the other to see if they understood that they could no longer do anything.
The feelings that had been raised up earlier were also sunk by the unexpected response of the Crown.
In addition, if we force a disturbance, we will not let go of the crown's rights in the corner.
Are you fortunate enough to imitate yourself like that (?) There was no one.
And the adventurers, who did not belong to the crown with the ladder removed, pointed their anger at the blue membrane for a while, but it eventually subsided.
Some of them tried to force themselves to go, but they couldn't do anything after all.
In addition, no one tried to attack with magic.
If you do that, as Heino said earlier, you will be taken care of by the Knights.
If there were members of the Crown who were making the same noise, the Knights would intervene, as Heino was concerned, and there could be some change in the royalties.
However, in the current situation, they are simply caught unilaterally due to equipment damage.
It is subtle how much of a noisy adventurer was working his head to, but it seems that he understood that attacking a building on a boulder would be bad.
Eventually, the gathering of adventurers was scattered in the form of natural extinction.
Among the adventurers who were leaving scattered, there was also a mix of those who had stirred up the noise just now.
I thought it was going well along the way, but the ladder was removed in a way that I didn't think about at all.
I thought it would be pointless to stay and make noise, and decided to go back like any other adventurer.
I thought the Crown thought they were positive, so I followed them carefully and returned to my base.
Unfortunately, however, the tail was not completely dispersed.
They didn't even realize that their presence, which seemed like just a dog, was following them.
