When I asked about their roles while acting as guards, it was more or less as I'd expected.
The areas where distinguished guests stay are fixed to a certain extent, and skilled male adventurers patrol the surrounding area, while the female adventurers provide protection inside the buildings where the targets are.
Basically, it seems they'll only be guarding within the territory capital... So even with their abilities, they should be able to handle it sufficiently.
When it comes to traveling outside... I'll try not to think about it.
I did wonder if it was really appropriate to say this while they themselves were present, but for the time being, when I told Klaus and the others that, it seems they'd come to more or less the same conclusion.
That's precisely why they wanted them to either improve their basic abilities or learn how to move as guards, and probably why they wanted them to participate in Teresa's training.
And next.
"How about their equipment?"
"Their equipment..."
The male adventurers seem to mainly patrol outside, and perhaps to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they're lightly equipped, but they do at least have proper weapons and armor.
There are some similarities to the equipment that had been provided to the investigation team until the other day, so they probably had it made at some workshop affiliated with the Merchant Guild or somewhere like that.
But the women's outfits are quite different.
They have armor that looks like a thick leather vest, giving the impression that it only protects their chests and abdomens.
Certainly, when you consider that they're guarding indoors, perhaps something like this is better since it doesn't look too imposing, but... Is its defensive capability really enough?
At first glance, it looks similar to my equipment, but the level of the materials used for that is far too different.
I wonder what the intention behind it is?
If I don't know, I can just ask.
"Um, the men's equipment is fine, but... Are the women's armor over there really going to stay like that?"
"We prioritized ease of movement above all else. Also, in an emergency, when they have to carry the person they're guarding and escape, it's so that they don't injure them with their armor."
"I understand the intention, but... Is that really okay?"
(TL Note: Yeah, like honestly. We expect them to be capable of combat but we don't even give them armor capable of protecting them; simply for more speed? At this point aren't they just glorified ambulances?)
It's true that if they were wearing bulky armor, their movements might become sluggish in an emergency, and they might also injure someone when carrying them.
Still, sacrificing defensive capability for that... I wonder if that's really appropriate for armor... I asked Klaus about it, but he answered in a lighter tone than I'd expected, "There is no problem."
"Their role is limited to within the territory capital, after all. Once they're able to escape from the mansion, the knights' soldiers should come rushing over immediately."
(TL Note: ok so that kinda makes sense I guess? I still see a ton of flaws with this.)
"Ah... I suppose that's true."
"If you put it that way, to begin with, I don't think something like that would happen within this territory capital itself... I'd like you to understand that."
As Klaus said, the fact that they would have a role to play in the first place means that an attack would have to occur within the territory capital.
For the time being, as long as they can make it out onto the street, patrolling soldiers or adventurers should immediately come to their rescue, so all they have to do is protect them until then.
If I dug any deeper into that, it could turn into a question of responsibility for the Knight Order in charge of security, so Klaus was choosing his words carefully, but essentially, that's what he meant.
"You don't have to worry about me... Well, I understand."
I'm a little uneasy about their equipment in terms of its function as armor, but there seems to be a proper reason for making it that way... If that's the case, it's not something I should interfere with.
"What about going outside the city?"
"I don't know about the future, but at least this year, we won't be taking on guard duties outside."
I asked just to be sure, but it seems they'll strictly be limited to within the territory capital.
"Then that should be fine even with that. But if they're going to be guarding indoors, they'll have to learn to move differently from adventurers, though... Will they be okay?"
"They do have some experience since they occasionally perform guard duties themselves, but it's exclusively for people connected to the Riana Merchant Guild, and they have no experience guarding outside guests."
"I see... That's going to be difficult. Well, I'm not opposed to it, so take it up with the Commander or the lord... Someone like that."
While nodding at Klaus's words, I decided to leave the judgment to Liesel and the others.
