Let's Manage The Tower
(3) Zero
In order to belong to the Tamer Alliance, each one of us must bring his subordinates.
However, there is a way out of everything, and in this case, you can make a contract with the original tamer and lend a subordinate only at the time of registration.
Nobles and merchants, especially those with money, acquire Tamer Alliance guild cards in that way.
When it comes to obtaining Alliance cards in that way, of course, it is to visit the facilities available to members.
On top of that, those who try to find a follower that suits them endlessly.
There are circumstances on the Alliance side that cannot be tightened, even if they are tightened, and they are silent.
In addition, some of those who come through such backroads have talents that can become real tamers, so they are not actively banned.
Thanks to this, the staff of the facility will eat up, but it can be any job, so I can't help complaining.
In the first place, no matter how much regulation you put in place, more than walking with your subordinates becomes a status, you will definitely create a way out.
In that case, it is the current thinking of the Tamer Alliance that the last part of the surveillance should be stopped.
In a way, the examiners nodded to the story they had just heard from the staff.
"Well, much better than being traded backwards badly."
"That's right. If accidents happen frequently, Tamer's popularity in the corner will be shaded."
If it remains as it is, we can only face the subordinate (candidate) properly and excuse each other for not being compatible.
It's impossible for everyone to be a tamer, so it's a good excuse.
Tamer, who had been talking until then, shouted, "Ah."
It was a face that I hadn't thought about until now.
"Sure, you can think of that."
"Well, we just figured it out because Tamer came from somewhere unusual."
"Perhaps the upper echelons of the Alliance have done so in their history.
If such history has been sent to generations of guild masters and others, it will convince me of the guild's policies that have not changed attitude before.
"... yes."
The staff nodded with a wonderful face to the words of Kaiseki and Florian.
Two words made me think a lot.
The lowest ranked examiners also have a limited number of places to see (subordinates).
For that reason, I was about to finish looking at the cage where the subordinate was.
I discovered something of interest to Sylvia.
"Um... What is that kid doing?
That's what Sylvia sent me before a 10-year-old boy was doing some work in a cage.
The employee, who was unaware of it until Sylvia told him, approached you in a bit of a hurry.
"Hey, zero! You said this isn't a good time!
"Eh!? Ah! Ya!!
The boy, called Zero, was angry with the staff and panicked to look at the examiners.
Apparently, he was cleaning his chambers (cages) at a time he shouldn't have done it.
The staff panicked, lowered Zero's head toward the examiners, and then instructed them to go to another building immediately.
But here the examiner put a stop to it.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on a second. I need to talk to you for a second, okay?
When Kaiseki said so, the person and the staff, of course, looked a little surprised at Sylvia and Floria.
The examiner lowered his head to the staff member who said "I don't mind" after turning his gaze slightly towards zero.
Then, I looked at the chamber and heard about the exam.
"Unlike other cells, you deliberately (...) left dirt behind, didn't you? I wonder why.
In the inquiry of the examiner, Zero opened his eyes, and the staff also looked surprised and saw Zero.
"Zero, you!
"Chi, no! I didn't skip it!
"Uh, no, no. Please wait a moment."
After seeing the interaction between Zero and the staff member, the examiner realized that he was mistaken for each other and waved his hand to stop the interaction immediately.
And once again, the assistant who turned his gaze to zero said with confidence.
"You thought that dirt was good for the slime, right?
The chamber Zero was caring for was for the slime.
That is why the examiner asked the question earlier.
"Eh!? Ah, yes... yes."
"Zero! You...!
The examiner waited for the staff member who tried to get angry again with the zero response.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Please wait until you hear the next answer."
When the examiner said so, the staff member felt surprised.
While realizing that, the examiner continued to ask questions with a zero gaze.
"Why would you do that? You didn't want to make things easier, did you?
"Ah, yes.... uh, when the housekeeping didn't catch up with me the next day, I thought the slime would be happy..."
When Zero answered, Silvia and Floria, who were listening behind, looked at each other simultaneously.
They know the slime manners, so they know that the word zero is correct.
Of course, after learning about it, I turned to zero and smiled.
I see. You seemed pleased with the slime, didn't you?
"... yes. Somehow. Besides, even if I intentionally lifted up the garbage, it looked the same..."
Asked again by the examiner, Zero nodded with a confident expression.
Once he lightly stroked the zero head, Kaiseki said to the staff.
"Zero is right. It's good to scold you for doing something other than directions, but can you stop being angry at me for what I did?
"Yes? What do you mean?
In the words of the examiner, the staff member looked as if he had been deceived by a fox.
"A slime is better to keep you in a dirty spot from time to time than in a completely clean environment. If you want to keep the slime alive, there's no mistake in the zero way."
As the examiner went on explaining, the staff member objected with confusion.
"Is that so? At least I've never heard of it..."
"Really? I thought I was aware of the opposite, because I only have this much slime.
While saying so, I also thought that if the facility was so well-equipped, there would be few attempts other than once established methods.
In addition, the slime splits and increases as long as it feeds to a certain extent.
I could also imagine that I had never bothered to think about life expectancy.
Nevertheless, I do not believe that the words of newcomers who have just joined the Tamer's Guild can be believed.
So I decided to make a suggestion to the staff.
"But I don't think you'll believe me all of a sudden, so will you forgive me for this? I will submit a report to the Alliance later on the slime."
The Tamer Alliance has a system that not only digests requests, but also translates research results related to subjugation into ranks.
If we can name those reports, we can raise our ranks.
The system is difficult for examiners who do not come to this country frequently to ask for it.
The staff nodded reluctantly to the suggestion of the examiner, and the preaching to zero became irrelevant.
