A month had passed since I became an instructor, and I’d started taking on work beyond overseeing training and the occasional guard jobs.

“We got a job to guard and transport some supplies,” the company commander stated. He was in a meeting room within the barracks on the outskirts of town. Most of the troops, myself included, lived in military lodgings. I was with the company commander, as were three platoon leaders.

“Most of the supplies are provisions. We’ll take those to the designated area.”

The Adventurers Guild often handled tasks like these, too.

“Provisions? Is there a shortage somewhere?” I asked. However, the company commander shook his head.

“No, there’s no scarcity issue. I believe we’re preparing against potential famine. The contents are all dried meats and root vegetables—enough for someone to get by, if nothing else.”

I kept silent and listened. I learned this was a regular assignment and that the food would be delivered to specific collection sites.

Generally, rations were brought straight to their destination and rarely changed hands. That this occurred so frequently suggested to me that it might be a contractual arrangement.

“The crates are in the storehouse next to the barracks. You can take a look if you have time.”

Another platoon would be handling the acceptance of the supplies and their transport, and the meeting concluded quickly.

I took the commander up on his suggestion. I’d lived here for a while, but this was the first time I went inside the storehouse. Supposedly, it contained emergency provisions.

I greeted the guards at the storehouse, then headed in.

Many large boxes were piled up, and each had a mark indicating its place of origin. Half of them came from famous towns, with the rest having traveled from less notable places.

“They should’ve just said upfront that these were weapon shipments.” I opened one of the boxes to inspect the contents. “As I thought.”

The crate was packed with swords. A second contained spears, while a third was full of bows and their strings. Curiously, the number of weapons far exceeded the total troop count.

And these shipments had come in fairly recently.

The weapons were likely being secreted in with the provisions, and I doubted that would stop anytime soon.

“This is no small effort. I guess preparation has been proceeding steadily in secret.”

…

I glanced at one corner of the room, spying a shadow.

“Hey.” Did he think I wouldn’t notice? Perhaps I’d caught him off guard by visiting unannounced.

“Come out. I see you,” I said.

A man slipped out from the shadows of the piled boxes.

“I should’ve known you’d spot me, Teach…”

“You enlisted the same day as me. What are you doing here?” I questioned.

He seemed to have realized I meant him no ill will, so he began to explain, though reluctantly.

“I was doing a little investigating.”

“…Under whose orders?”

“Let me ask you a question first: Why did you come to this town, Teach?”

“I have no obligation to answer that,” I replied.

Was someone else conducting an investigation similar to mine?

“A certain person believes there’s something illicit occurring here,” the man said, “and they’ve ordered me to learn more.
