Let's Manage The Tower
(6) Damage response
After finishing his conversation with Gazelan, Kaiseki asked for a message to Schmidt and then went to check the Adventurer department bulletin board.
Thanks to talking to Gazelan, I didn't have much time, but I thought I'd just have a favorable request.
Nevertheless, because time is halfway there is little work left to do in the city that day.
At that time, Mitsuki, who was looking at the bulletin board in the same way, found a request.
"Oh, how about this?
"Hmm? Which one... is Wolf's crusade? Even though Nana is here, let's stop the wolf crusade."
Nana won't mind that, but she doesn't feel comfortable fighting in the same wolf lineage.
"No, it's not. Not that way, this way. I don't want Nana to do that either."
Mitsuki said so, pointing to another request next to the request form that Kaiseki was looking at.
It says, "I want you to crush a harmless beast that can raze the fields."
"Ah, a rat crusade. Isn't that nice? It's close."
It takes less than an hour to hurry in an agricultural district outside the city.
If this is the case, it can be processed in a full day even when combined with the round-trip with the site.
Incidentally, Kaiseki told me lightly that he was a rat, but it's not that easy to find and defeat, it's quite a mess.
However, because there is Nana today, it is not a very difficult task for the examiners to find another person.
The examiners who handed the requisition form to Sarasa and accepted it, quickly went to the scene.
With the seemingly young Kaiseki and Mitsuki coming, the client looked anxious, but pretended not to notice, and the Kaiseki began the crusade.
It's so simple that Nana finds the target rat, locates it, and then knocks it down.
The subject of the assassination is said to be a "mouse" in one word, but it is a neat monster that is about 50 centimeters in length, specifically a big mouse.
Its characteristic is that it digs its own holes and nests like a mole, and lives in groups of nearly ten.
Quick movements, powerful body contact, and, above all, group combat make it a pain for beginner adventurers.
Additionally, it comes out of the hole dug in there and is susceptible to surprise.
Farming often roughed up plants grown directly, but these holes were even more troubling.
Big Mouse is such a nasty opponent, but of course, it won't be as troublesome as the study aids.
The reason for this is:
"... oh, you're stretching out."
"I see. It's been a long time since we've hunted together."
Beyond Kaiseki and Mitsuki's gaze, Big Mouse was popping out of the nest.
Originally, it would be hard to get Big Mouse out of the nest, but it would be an eye-popping sight for those who know the hard work.
It should be taken for granted that this impossible scene is happening. As Mitsuki said, it was Nana who has been hunting with Kaiseki for a long time.
A tiny nana lurks in the nest of a big mouse, and they (?).
Looking at the sight alone, it looks like it's going to be easy, but it's not usually easy to kick a big mouse out of a nest.
Because Nana is so much more powerful, they're still running.
In fact, the client sees Big Mouse coming out of the hole one after the other with a gloomy expression.
It is the role of Kaiseki and Mitsuki to defeat the big mouse Nana chased away.
It is a big mouse that can be a threat if it comes at us in a group, but because Nana is well chased, it only comes out one by one.
With the help of the fairies, Mitsuki sifts the sword and defeats the big mouse.
Nana eventually came out of Big Mouse's nest after defeating thirteen bodies with Kaiseki and Mitsuki.
It only takes about an hour.
It's an incredibly short task for a client who knows how hard it is to crush a big mouse.
"No, I'm sorry I embarrassed you. It's been a long time since I've seen this end."
"No, in the meantime, is that all right?
"Of course."
The client nodded forcefully to confirm the exam aid.
My client certainly knows that not all the big mice were defeated in this crusade.
Rather, it is impossible to defeat everything.
In the meantime, as a client, I would be happy if I could just crush the nest right next to the field.
Naturally, the content of the request was also as follows.
From that point of view, for the client, the details of the crusade against the examiners were almost perfect.
"Oh, thank you. Nowadays, there are many adventurers who end up halfway there."
"... is that so?
"I don't know. They're a nasty enemy, and I know it's hard to take them down."
My client looks like he can't help it.
In fact, it's impossible for a low-ranking adventurer to defeat Big Mouse.
My client knew very well that the examiners were the exception, so I was talking.
"Besides, the crown was originally buying crops under the premise of being harmed. As long as I'm grateful."
It is natural that monster damage can occur in places outside of the city where the samurai are currently located.
So the crown that buys the crop pays for it as well.
"Hmm, I see. It's thought of as a lot."
"Ha ha ha. I can't even think of this."
When I saw my client laughing at that, I also smiled at him.
The assistant, who had been signed for completion by his client, walked with a thoughtful face on his way back to the crown.
"What's bothering you so much?
"Oh, no. I was wondering if it would be all right as it is."
Mitsuki looked strange without understanding what Kaiseki said.
"What do you mean?
"Hmm... I don't know what to say."
After saying that, I immediately understood what I was feeling and said it.
"I'm used to..."
Huh?
"I think that client is thinking about the damage from the monster, the Crown, and perhaps Lazequa Mamiya, but I think they're too familiar with the monster."
Mitsuki slightly lost sight of what Kaiseki said.
Eventually, the convincing color spread to Mitsuki's face, and she sighed small.
"Are you thinking too much about getting hurt from the start?"
"Quite simply, yes. Of course, it's impossible to destroy all the monsters in this world, so it's not a bad thing to think about... or absolutely necessary."
If anything, we need to prepare for a natural disaster that we don't know when.
However, unlike natural disasters, monster damage can be prevented by putting people and objects in.
After all, I wonder how much energy and budget we can devote to it.
"It's good to anticipate the damage from the beginning and budget for it, but I thought I'd better not focus too much on you."
Mitsuki, who fully understood the concern of the examiner, sighed greatly this time.
I anticipated that perhaps there might be a concern about the exam aid.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw Mitsuki's face, so I decided to talk to Floria as soon as possible.
