Let's Manage The Tower

(24) New materials?

Shreyn and Mitsuki, who were coming to town to buy it, noticed a different noise than when they came earlier.

"Did something happen?

Hmm. That's not how it is.

Likewise, Shreyn noticed it, and nodded in response to the murmur of the examiner.

"It was so noisy when Corey won, but what happened this time?

"Sounds like a bad topic to me."

Mitsuki said that while looking around.

Indeed, Mitsuki is right. As far as I can see, it doesn't seem like a bad topic.

"I see. Well, I think someone who likes rumors will tell me."

At the end, the exam ended like this, but it was not long before the words were realized.

"What, if you hadn't heard?

It was the aunt in the shop who bought the vegetables who said that to the examiners.

There were no customers lined up, so the examiner talked about it.

"Yeah, well. I stayed in the tower until just now."

"Oh, that was tough.... that this rumor was heard three days ago, right?

Really? I stayed a little longer this time. "

Really? I always think that adventurers can be tough. "

Incidentally, it can be normal for an adventurer to spend about three days in a tower.

Sometimes you live in a tower for more than a week.

That's what my aunt knows and dares to say.

It's good to catch an aunt who seems to like rumors, but such an aunt usually talks about it.

The examiner decided to revert to the subject while agreeing with Grandma.

"Well, this is my job. So, what rumors are out there right now?

"Oh, that's right. Something unusual was found in the tower."

"Material...?

Kaiseki leaned his neck while thinking of various materials in his head.

Behind the exam, Shreyn and Mitsuki face to face.

"I don't know what it was made of... oh, I'm sorry. I don't remember that much."

"No, that's enough. Thank you."

That said, the aunt shook her right hand with a smile when she lowered her head.

"No, you don't have to lower your head like this. I got more unusual fruit than that. How about one?

Whatever it was, while Grandma smiled bitterly, Kaiseki shook her neck vertically and bought extra fruit for three.

"I don't even know the name of the new material,"

While talking about the fruit I just bought, Kaiseki murmured.

By the way, the fruit bought looked and tasted like kiwi.

"What is it? Are you worried?

Well... I mean, you care about Shreyne, don't you?

When I was listening to my aunt, I realized that Shreyne and Mitsuki were looking at each other.

"Well, that's true. Why is there such a thing at this time? Besides, it's strange that the name of the material doesn't appear."

I also nodded in response to Schlein's question.

It is not uncommon for adventurers to find new materials.

Apart from whether the material is practical or not, of course.

Sometimes things that have been found in the past and are no longer being used are starting to be used as new materials.

It was only natural that something like fashion should emerge with the flow of times.

However, I'm not sure that rumors spread throughout the town about the material.

It is not strange to know exactly what kind of material such as that of an aunt just now would be if it were such a material to be talked about.

However, the rumors that are circulating in the town are simply that new materials have been found.

In addition, there have been recent disturbances in Seychun.

Taken together, it was only natural to suspect that the rumors that the examiners were circulating in the town were intentionally circulating.

"So, what do we do?

He answered Shreyne with a bitter smile, saying that he knew the answer.

"Well, I think we're expecting it, but let's head to the branch for now? It's because I bought something to buy."

I guess so. That's why it's Kouske. "

Whether it was praised or open, Schreyn's subtle answer had to be an unspeakable expression.

However, if Kaiseki ignored this story and tried to return to the tower, there was no doubt that Shreyne tried to stick his neck in it.

In that sense, you might say either way.

The auxiliaries who bought the consumables were visiting the branch as scheduled.

Originally I was going to speak directly with the branch manager, but when I told the receptionist my name, I was immediately sent to the back room.

According to the receptionist, she was told to make such arrangements as soon as the examination arrived.

Donovan came to me in a delicate mood as to whether I should think it was a good job or complain about getting weird attention.

"... hmm? What's the matter, with that subtle face?"

No. I was thinking I didn't want to stand out too much. "

What an ambiguous way to put it, Donovan quickly figured out what Kaiseki wanted to say.

"What are you talking about? You're just walking with Corey in the first place, and it's no use caring about that, right?

In response to Donovan's most outrageous reply, Kaiseki did not have the words to return it, but decided to immediately fulfill the purpose of coming here.

"Well, that's good. More strange rumors are spreading all over town than that?

When asked about the examiner, Donovan suddenly turned reluctant.

Oh, that one.

"When I look at that face, is it half the story?

"No, the rumor itself is right. But it's not like I can do it right now."

"So you've already figured out what the material is."

Donovan shook his neck vertically to study with his head tilted.

"Oh, yeah. He came all the way from there to tell me."

According to Donovan, the branch manager of the Battle Chamber came all the way to visit the Crown branch a few days ago before rumors spread in the town.

And he talked about what the Battle Chamber would do with the newly discovered material and the details of it.

Somehow, it's easy to understand.

It is understood that the purpose is to exert pressure on the crown.

Of course, he would have done the same to the Crown as to other Alliances, but as you can see from what happened in the arena, he is hostile to the Crown.

"Yeah, but it's easy to understand, but it's effective. It must have worked for Corey to lose the fight."

"I guess so. That's all I'm sure of this time... Speaking of which, do you know the name of the material?

I see. Did you even show me what you took so carefully?

It seems that the branch manager politely showed the material itself to Donovan.

Until now, Kaiseki is doing the same thing he did in Setum.

I didn't know if it was just hostile or if there was any idea, and the assistant unexpectedly sighed.

"So, what is this material?

"Oh, that's..."

Donovan said the name of a material after putting it in front of him.

And when I heard the name, I was surprised by the unexpected.
