Let's Manage The Tower

Donovan immediately went to HQ to check the information he had received.

Of course, the opponent is Schmidt.

This time it was not a direct meeting, but an exchange using communication equipment, so it was a discussion after adjusting the time beforehand.

As a result, what Kou was saying was true and confirmed that the Crown handled Mizuhikarigoke properly.

During the discussion, I checked where Schmidt had heard the story, but the moment I gave Kou's name, it was very impressive to Donovan that I was convinced.

And the discussion revealed another new fact.

Donovan has given permission to put the information on the table at Donovan's discretion.

Though well prepared, Donovan was convinced that this might be one of the reasons why the Crown continues to grow rapidly.

A few days after our discussion with Schmidt, the Seychun branch manager of the Battle Chamber visited us again.

"No, thank you for taking the time."

The tone and attitude were poor, but the inner feeling was clear that you would listen to my request behind my back.

Not when I visited you the other day, but after leaving a few days, I thought I would need time to meet with Crown Headquarters.

On the other hand, Donovan, who was face-to-face, showed no particular reaction to the attitude of the branch manager.

It's a corner, so I'm going to find out how they're coming out.

"Never mind. We're busy together."

Donovan nodded while saying such a thing.

To put it bluntly, let's get a quick grip on it.

After such an outpost, the branch manager quickly got to the point.

"Quickly, but I'm here to discuss the case."

"What about the case?

The branch manager's eyebrows twitched to Donovan, who responded in a dumb manner.

But instead of riding on Donovan's provocation, he kept talking as if he was calm.

"About the rights and interests of Aeris, right?"

"Oh, that. I thought you already replied to that?

"... so you're not going to change the situation anyway?

"Ah, you gave me time. I checked with HQ, but they're not going to change it."

The branch manager sighed deliberately to Donovan, who said so lightly.

Really? I'm sorry. "

Unfortunately, Donovan had a faint expression on the branch manager, who didn't seem to be at all sure.

Believing in his superiority over Donovan, the branch chief came here with a trump card.

"Does that mean that the Crown waives any right to negotiate the item in question?

The branch manager says that because he doesn't know anything about the crown handling mishikarigoke, he thinks it will attract the other party.

If Kou hadn't given us the information, Donovan would have been somewhat moved.

When it comes to materials that will not be a trump card in the future, it means that it will be that disadvantageous.

Of course, just one material does not diminish Seitun's influence.

However, Donovan had already understood that if he succeeded, that could be the case.

Donovan saw Adele sitting next to her and saw her nodding before deciding that this would be the tide time for the trump card that the branch manager came up with.

"Yeah, but about that."

"It's a mess. They already handle it at HQ."

Looking at Donovan who said that, the branch manager instantly wondered what he was saying, and immediately afterwards he shouted surprise.

"Ha...?!?

As Donovan, I am satisfied that I was able to see the face of the branch manager.

I don't know how we're going to proceed, but in the Crown's position, we're not going to catch up with the existing forces on the ground.

Donovan nodded willfully and continuously, saying that he had not seen his face.

"It seems that there are places in the area of activities of the Adventurers of the Amamiya Tower where you can find anything. It seemed like a blind spot to me."

The branch manager was slapping his mouth as he watched Donovan say that.

That would be the case.

The trump card they brought out to their advantage was already handled by the opponent.

It could be a trump card because the opponent thought they didn't have it, but that didn't make any sense.

Donovan was rather impressed by the attitude of the branch manager.

A merchant in the area is no stranger to a collapse.

The branch manager, who is trying to keep things calm, should have said so.

"... are you calm?

Donovan asked after seeing the branch chief who managed to restore calm.

The branch manager, who saw the donovan with a grudge, squeezed out his voice as if he had finally said so.

"Yeah, well. Thanks to you."

Both Donovan and Branch Manager are negotiating with each other knowing that they are not holding the ball, but that someone is behind it.

Donovan is the Crown headquarters and the branch manager is the Dominant Empire.

That is why there is a line that cannot be transferred, but knowing it, Donovan made the following suggestion.

"You have a position, don't you? What do you say we redo the partition, even though we didn't talk about it earlier?

In fact, it was a handwritten declaration from the Crown side, but the current branch manager did not have enough hands to counter it.

"... I see. That would be better."

The branch manager nodded with a scratchy face, unlike when he started this discussion.

Some branch managers have come close to a nightmare, but this wasn't the end of the story.

Donovan, who looked sadly at the branch manager, added what Schmidt had told him.

Well then... It's a corner, so I want to give you one more piece of information, okay?

"Information?

Donovan nodded one more time to the branch manager who would look at what was going on.

"Apparently not at headquarters. They have already successfully created an example item using Las Picca Water."

The branch manager opened his eyes to the donovan's whisper.

"Well, no way...!?

"Oh, I didn't think so. It seems that the effect has been confirmed. However, since mass production is very impossible, it doesn't seem to be available for sale."

According to the super-majority information, the branch manager was about to faint this time.

Still, I managed to squeeze out my voice.

"You... no, how far does the Crown surprise us?

Well then. Even if I told you all this. I found out about it the other day. If it hadn't been for this, you wouldn't have known. "

They have already forgotten the position that they are negotiating with each other.

Donovan sighed as he looked sadly at the branch manager.

And the branch manager who was looking at it also sighed and looked tired.
