Let's Manage The Tower

A week before the fifth level transfer gate opened.

I really wanted to make an Alliance Card, but I was trying to form a status confirmation device at the management level.

Kouchi, who returned from the seventy-third floor, was consulted on the work.

"Lord, may I have a moment?

"Hmm? What's the matter with you?

"I received a proposal from Liston on the seventy-third floor, but I want to see if I can accept it."

"Suggestions?"

"It seems that the seventy-third tier of the world tree was able to grow until it was rooted there. But they're going to need a lot of manpower to grow any more."

"Oh, I see.... what is that? Liston, didn't you summon your people before because you didn't have enough men on your own?

As Kaiseki said, Liston was summoning two other high elves.

In the first place, high elves are almost legendary.

The reason why the high elves are summoned by Kouchi and Liston is because the high elves, who are physically or mentally almost immortal, abandon their bodies and exist as spiritual bodies.

I'm summoning that mental body and giving it flesh by summoning it.

Incidentally, the latter is much more challenging in Kouchi, who summoned Liston knowing the name and existence of other high elves without any knowledge.

"Yes, all three of them have been fine up until now, but more than that, they must have access to the surrounding environment, and they must have manpower."

I see. So... what? Does Kouhi bother to consult with me? Does that mean that it will be quite a large number of people, like when Mitsuki is here?

Mitsuki, who manages the seventy-sixth floor, was asked to summon a large number of his family before.

"No, that's not a summons... they want to call the elves from the outside."

"... I see."

I was able to understand why Kouhi came to consult with me.

Calling from the outside would mean that there would be a considerable number of people.

There is no other way to get out of the tower and repeat the metastasis, but the temporal burden on Kouchi is too great to do so.

Rather, we should install a transfer gate.

But there's a big problem with that.

"... can you connect with the outside world and bring in anything extra?

"That's right. Just so you know, the clan we're trying to pull in here is a closed clan with little outside involvement."

The answer made Kaiseki laugh bitterly.

"... that makes it hard to handle?

"Yes, but on the contrary, it's a good place to pull into the tower hierarchy."

"Pulling... well, sure."

"And then they say the family is the one that manages the world's trees on Arsene."

The Arsenal continent is a continent to the north from the central continent.

"You're already managing the world trees, and you're coming all the way here?

"That's... according to Liston, the world tree is already finished."

"... what do you mean?

"World trees are said to help shape the flow of sacred power and magic in the world, but the world trees are already out of their veins."

"I see. Still the role is over, huh?

"Yes"

"I see...... for now, I can't say anything about not seeing you. Is it possible to meet?

"Now? I'll check first, not Master?

"It's okay. I'll have the two of you follow me. And I want to see the other world trees."

Kouhi confirmed Mitsuki's words in the study aid.

She also manages the seventy-sixth floor, so she doesn't always have time like before.

"I'm fine."

"... okay. Now I'm going to talk to Liston."

"Ah, here it is. I'll go, too. I want to see the growing world tree."

Kouhi also agreed to the proposal of the examiner and decided to go to the seventy-third floor by three people.

"Oh, hello, ladies and gentlemen... what's the matter?

"It's about the elf migration we talked about earlier. Then the Lord said he wanted to see the growing world tree."

Liston welcomed the examiners to the seventy-third floor.

I don't see the other two around whether they are paying or not.

And Kaiseki seemed to be in a growing world tree.

Originally I thought it was big for seedlings, but it has grown even bigger.

"Really...? Kaiseki?

Liston asked strangely about the exam aid.

However, Kaiseki is approaching the world tree to see if he can hear the voice.

"Lord?

"Kaiseki?

Since the steps are normal, they are not manipulated, but still somehow Kouhi and Mitsuki are surprised at the strange examination.

"... is this the world tree?"

Without worrying about the surroundings, Kaiseki looked to the world tree.

What Kaiseki sees is a world tree surrounded by light, large and small.

When I had just planted it as a seedling tree, I could not see such a thing.

It is unclear whether it is visible because of the power of the left eye or not, but it does not matter now.

Anyway, I was just fascinated by this fantasy.

Eventually, Kaiseki, who was approaching the world tree, arrived at the root and gently touched the trunk of his right hand.

At that moment, the world trees emitted pale light, and even produced small light from the leaves.

Eventually, the light gathers in front of the study aide, and finally the palm-sized fairy (?) appeared.

The fairy is fluffing around the study aid with pleasure.

"No way... that's not..."

Liston was stunned as he watched.

Mitsuki asked Liston a question because the fairy seemed hostile to him.

"You know what that is. What is that?

"... no. That can't be true.... it's my mistake, so don't worry..."

"I don't care about your personal opinion. Just tell me what you know."

When Liston silences, Mitsuki releases slight pressure.

In response, Liston talked with a cold sweat on his back.

"... a legend passed down to our elves. There are great spirits in the world tree, and they appear only in front of those who have been recognized by them..."

I see. That means it's the spirit or something close to it. "

"That's my lord."

No way, it's impossible, and I squeezed Liston aside, and Kouchi and Mitsuki were convinced as they watched the study aid playing with fairies.

"Liston, what happened...!?

"What is that light!?

Did you notice something unusual about the world trees? Sarah and Zepal came on the spot.

Then he found Kaiseki and the fairy, and stopped silently.

Looking at it, Kouhi and Mitsuki were convinced that fairies dwell in the trees of the world.

Kouhi approached them and asked them.

"For the record, is that definitely the person who lives in the world tree?

"No... I probably don't know... After all, the world tree of Wakagi is no longer a legend."

"Not to mention that there is nothing I have ever checked..."

Really?... well, anyway, I'm not acting funny to the Lord, so let's see what happens for a while. "

"I see. That's good."

Kouhi and Mitsuki came to that conclusion on this occasion and watched Kaiseki and the fairy.
