Let's Manage The Tower

(16) Charming

Kaosuke, who saw Kouchi pointing his sword at Shreyne, stopped it in a hurry.

Kouhi, wait, wait.

"... but..."

"No, I don't understand the situation normally. It's not too late for you to explain, is it?

As soon as I entered the room, I was distracted by an unfamiliar woman, and I thought I had returned to sanity.

I can't understand the reason if I use it as an exam aid. I wanted at least one explanation.

Under the gaze of Kaiseki, Kouhi laid down a sword that he tenderly poked at Shrein.

The examiner who saw it looked at Shreyn reassuringly.

"So... what's the situation?

"Hmm. When I was walking with you, I felt the signs of sneaking around."

"... so?

"Well, if that's all I left behind, I felt uncommon signs from that person, so I decided to wait and see."

That's why Shreyne broke up with his scholars in front of the temple.

"Unusual signs?

"Hmm. Well, in a word, it's fascinating."

"Is that... is that it? Something that attracts people without asking questions?

"Well, is it wrong?"

The moment I saw her, I would say the examiner was distracted.

And from now on, Sylvia seemed to be in the same condition.

When I saw Sylvia, I nodded convincingly.

"... attracting same-sex people... Isn't that amazing?

"Mm-hmm. That's right. At least I've never seen it before."

The examiner saw the woman again.

I was concerned about the boulders, so I didn't get into the same situation again, but the charm that still attracts me is a great one.

"So, why are you in this state?

"Lord, that is the opposite. It's more dangerous that this happens."

A bitter, bitter face caught Kouhi's mouth.

The examiner who heard that also understood Kouchi's point.

"... Does that mean that if you don't tie your hands and feet, you're more attractive?

"I'm sure it is."

Shreyn nods as if she were certain.

Having heard that, Kouchi finally understood Kouchi's behavior.

In any case, he is a dangerous person for the examiner (rather than a man in the world).

Here, I wondered about the study aid.

"... that? How can you stay in the city normally, even though you have such great power?

I should have said I was wearing scouts until Shreyn caught me.

"That's right. Well, so am I. As a characteristic of the species of this hand, it has a trick that can hide itself or remove itself from the people around it."

"It's also... somehow... it's going to be too much trouble for the profession..."

The word assassin comes to mind in Kaiseki's mind.

"In fact, aren't there people in such positions? I haven't heard from him yet."

"Didn't you hear?

There should have been plenty of time before the examiners came here.

"I can't even ask. The voice of this man also has the power of his hand. I was surprised by the boulder that I was about to be dragged to the same level of power."

"It's, uh..."

Together, it's a cliché.

Included in this is Kouhi, who describes the magnitude of her power.

It was not until he heard it that Kouhi turned his attention to her.

"So you didn't ask what purpose you were following the Lord?

"That's what happens."

In Shreyn's reply, Kouchi used a technique like he thought.

If you're listening to information, you think it's a problem to let it go like this.

"So, as an expert, how about I leave it to the experts?

"Expert?

The examiner leaned his neck to see if there was such a person.

As a precaution, I saw Silvia, but he shook his neck to the left and right and denied it.

Kouchi looked at it and gave an answer.

Mitsuki, right?

"Mm-hmm. Summon me. Probably familiar with the man?

Conversely, Kouhi is not familiar with it.

I see, I also nodded.

"That's why I'll leave this to Kouhi. I will bring Mitsuki."

"... I can't help it. That's the only way."

I can only use myself and Shreyne to make the transition to the Tower, and I have no choice but to stay away from Kaiseki.

"I'll be back in time for dinner."

That's what Shreyne said and left the room.

I don't have to feel sorry for the woman until Mitsuki arrives, but I can't help it because the influence on the exam aid is too great.

Above all, Kouhi will not be allowed to release himself.

Ultimately, until Mitsuki arrived, he spent as much time as possible trying to keep the woman out of sight.

As declared, Shreyne came back before dinner.

Mitsuki immediately looked at the woman and nodded as if she was convinced.

"Oh, I see. This is amazing."

After Mitsuki said so, she approached the woman who was being watched.

Looking at it, the woman is trying to back off somehow, feeling something.

"Hey, don't run away. I'm trying to help you."

Mitsuki, who approached the woman, put her right index finger between her eyebrows and muttered something.

The woman who heard it looks surprised.

"Yes, that's it. You can solve it now."

The moment Mitsuki said so, she felt the feeling of oppression (?) I felt something like) disappear.

I see.

In Mitsuki's words, Shreyn released him.

The restraint that tied the woman was not only tied to a string, but also used Shreyne's magic.

"Um... thank you very much."

A woman who had been removed from the monkey's ankle lowered her head to a rattle.

"Oh, do you know what you did by thanking me?

"Yes, it's a technique that's passed on to my hometown... but there's no one I can hang on to..."

What Mitsuki did to women was to contain the power of charm.

Naturally, the technique was passed on to her species, but the opponent will need the power to apply it.

I wonder if her charm was too strong to use the seal.

"Yes... and you, Serene, are mixed up too?

The woman opened her eyes wide and showed surprise again.

"You know what I mean?

"Yeah, well, somehow."

"I see. Is that what this is about?"

After hearing the two conversations, Shreyne shook her head up and down as convinced.

"Still, I'm mixed up in a pretty good way."

"I see. And if you look at this, you probably don't even notice it."

That's right.

Everyone else is left behind in the conversation between Mitsuki and Shrain.

"Neither of you is convinced of each other, and I want you to talk to us properly?

"I see. But before that, there's something we need to do, right?

"Things to do?

Mitsuki told me to bend my neck.

"In the first place, I need to check why I was wearing Kaiseki.... you're gonna tell me, right?

As Mitsuki confirmed, when she looked at the woman, she also nodded.
