Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! (WN)

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Maxwell heard of Raum's crisis only after he had already defeated him.

Immediately after contacting Cortina using the guild's communication magic, it was discovered that there was a presence that prevented him from reaching him. There seems to have been some kind of interference.

Someone snuck into the room where the automated secretary's magic props were installed and only disposed of the contact forms sent to Maxwell.

This had turned out to be the case because there was a burnt burning cushion left in the corner of the room.

"That means someone was sneaking into this guild and destroying it for vital information."

Tips and frustrations slap the reception room table with your fingers and make it manifest blatantly grumpy.

It is unusual for him to put his anger so far on the table, which is calm on a daily basis. Not so long ago, I couldn't forgive you for putting my people in crisis.

"There is no denying that the use of magic was restricted inside the Alliance's facilities except for the training grounds..."

Ahead of Maxwell, the Adventurer Guild Leader of the Northern Trinity was resisting sweating.

This is something that is common to adventurers' guilds across the continent, not just the Union of the Three North Nations.

The use of magic was basically forbidden in the areas involved in the affairs of the Adventurer's Guild, with the exception of the hall and the underground training grounds and the infirmary.

This is also a measure to prevent tampering with important documents.

If it is used, a report will be made to the person who was on guard, who will be asked what magic was used for what purpose.

But this time, no trace of it has been left at all.

"Does that mean you took the keys out of the description room without magic, processed them on the spot, and escaped?

"Yes, you're right"

"Is it possible that there are traitors in the guild?

"I doubted that, but the person in charge handled the request at the counter at that time. It will be unlikely, as we are also left with the signature of the requisition"

Seeing that the spearhead of the stuffing slipped away subtly, the guild leader tells Maxwell about the end of this one.

At the time the keys were taken out, the official was doing counter work and was also left with documents at that time.

But Maxwell is not convinced by the question alone. Because if incidents like this one were more frequent, they could still turn in the future.

"But that's not enough. Take a seat for the bathroom or something, just hold the key and give it to someone else. This won't take long."

"Yes, but one of the officials was dealing with the complaint at that time and was meeting with the adventurer in the reception room. I haven't left the room in the meantime, so I thought I'd be sure first."

The suspicion was confirmed about five days ago. Meanwhile, the unauthorized removal of the key has been confirmed on five occasions.

That rep will have had five reps because they vary from day to day, but one of them was involved in processing the claim, and apparently there was an incident where the key would be caged in one room with the adventurer at the time it was brought up.

This will make it impossible to use the hand that only the key was taken out and given to others. At least, it's impossible that day.

"So what are the chances that you made a key to each other another day?

"That's not true either. For confidentiality, the keys to the room are replaced every morning"

"You mean you don't have time to make a key"

"The craftsmen who replace that key are also craftsmen who are cordial with the guild, so betrayal is unthinkable"

"Hmm...?

Maxwell nods one thing and thinks.

So far, the Alliance's response has been novel, but at the same time solid.

I've even done an interview in this short time, and I've even proven the alibi of a suspicious official, so I can say I'm competent.

But we can't let it go wild when it comes to this case. And measures must also be taken.

Otherwise, there will be suspicion about the Alliance's means of communication.

"Aye, okay. But you have to hit your hand."

"Yes, because it involves the guild's credit issues"

"How about we publish a surgical ceremony first?

"That's... I'm sorry. As for Mr. Maxwell's offer, it's an important project for the Alliance, so in my presence..."

"No, I said this was more impotent on my part. Let's apologize."

I can't help it. If you strike any measures, you will not be able to trust the Alliance's communications network in the future.

"Increase the corresponding staff to two on a daily basis, and provide two keys. Now we need two humans to disguise ourselves, and the burden on the intruding side increases."

"Hmm, not entirely, but it does seem like it could be prevented for the moment"

"And, in order to deal with disguises that don't rely on magic, we have to monitor access more closely."

"Increase your security to respond. We just have to cover it manually, more than technology can keep us going."

"Um, let me ask you something. Keep investigating, please."

"Yeah, I'll take care of it"

I got that answer Maxwell, but I didn't expect anything about the results.

Matheus, who broke into Raum, couldn't catch him in the end either. Thanks to the extra hand over there, I was just able to secure my stature.

This incident also made me feel the cunning of Matheus-like. It is also evidence that the modus operandi of the intrusion remains unclear.

"Thank you, we've got troublemakers coming out again."

Maxwell dropped his shoulder gently and exhaled heavily.
