Let's Manage The Tower
Episode 12 Dream Story
Suddenly he revealed himself to Mitsuki, and Alec was somewhat overwhelmed with questions.
"... may I ask you one question?
"What?"
"Does Lord Kowske know about this?
Mitsuki smiled at the inquiry.
"Of course."
To answer that question, Alec decided to change his perception of the study aid so far.
Regardless of the interview, when I met Florian, I thought he was a young man of his apparent age.
But I still don't know if it's coincidence or inevitability, but it seems like we've handled what happened very well.
Mitsuki's case was certainly the best way to contain Alec.
I can't even tell if Alec was conscious of it, but it's going to be harder to overturn it than Alec himself actually thought.
Regardless of the examiner himself, there are foolish people like Mitsuki and Kouhi.
Really...
I was going to say that to keep my expression from appearing on the surface, but Mitsuki seemed to have spotted that feeling.
I've been saying this.
"Don't get me wrong, but even if you take real power and cause civil unrest, Kaosuke-san won't use our power.
"... what?
"Isn't that right? If anything happens, we just have to close the transfer gate."
"No, but what about this town you built?
Closed gates naturally halt the influx of objects from outside.
I wish I could be self-sufficient with everything I need in my life, but I can't be self-sufficient at the moment.
If you close the gate like that, you don't have to think about what's going to happen.
Mitsuki nodded instantly at Alec's confusion.
"Oh, I see. You don't recognize the town in the first place. You know, Kaiseki doesn't want to keep the town on this level, anything at all.
Alec looked like he had been poked in the face.
"... is that so?
"Yes, it was a village that I was going to build with the intention of failing. It's getting bigger than I expected, so I won't let it go easily, but I don't think I'm going to be forced to keep it if it gets in the way of the tower."
Alec saw no lie in Mitsuki's words.
At the same time, she sighed.
"... in the first place, it was different from the perception of the premise..."
"Well, normally, you don't think you're going to do this on the assumption of failure."
Mitsuki had a pleasant expression on Alec, who looked tired.
If I were to use Alec's mood as a word, I would not even be able to compete because I had had a different sumo wrestling from the beginning.
After seeing Alec in many ways, Mitsuki finally got his wings.
"Ah... yes. I don't know if this is the information you need, but I'll let you know."
Mitsuki suddenly changed the subject, and Alec became somewhat confused.
"... what?
"Mixen's Temple knows Kouhi."
"What, is that so...?
"Yes, I've had a bit of a rub with the temple side before, and now I have wings like this. Sylvia was there."
Sylvia nodded with water pointing at Mitsuki.
I see, I see.
With that, Mitsuki nodded to Alec, asking how she was doing.
"What are you going to use it for?
"No way. If you're going out there in person, if only my words could do it, it would be enough to keep you under control."
"Oh, I'm not going straight out."
Alec said to Mitsuki that he understood something.
"I'm not going to be so shameless.... and I'm not gonna die yet."
Mitsuki smiled at Alec's answer.
"You know very well. Well, if you can, how about asking through Kaiseko-sama?
"Hmm... well, let's remember this as a way to do things in times of need."
"I see. That's the easiest part."
Mitsuki, who agreed with Alec, said to encourage everyone here.
"Well, that's the end of my business. It's time to disband."
I haven't been able to check outside because I've been underground for a long time, but it's been a long time.
In the first place, Mitsuki set the scene, so it was eventually dissolved in the words of Mitsuki.

Having finished his work for that day, Alec returned to the Mansion and was drinking in his room.
Alec wasn't the type to drink alcohol every day in the first place, but sometimes he did so alone.
Floria came to the room to see Alec.
Father...
Alec urged his daughter to come closer, showing a somewhat hesitant expression.
"What's going on at this hour?
When asked by his father, Floria, his daughter, seemed to have wandered away for a while before saying as if she had thought.
"Does Father regret it?
"... what's wrong, suddenly?"
"But... if I hadn't been here... if I hadn't had the protection, I wouldn't have had to be a substitute here."
The words of his daughter made Alec look like he had been poked in the face for an instant.
And I immediately smiled bitterly.
"Oh my God, did I look like that?
"... Father?
Alec had a refreshing expression on her daughter with a questionable expression.
"I've never regretted anything."
"But...!
"Well, if you don't regret it, you'll be lying.... but some of us are looking forward to it even more."
Florian leaned to his father's abrupt words.
Fun?
"Oh, I wonder what happens to that very ordinary young man with two apostles in his arms.... No, maybe it's not normal anymore. It's just that I don't see it."
Coming to this tower was definitive for Alec from the beginning, as it was about his daughter.
Alternatively, if there were any other means, I might have taken those means, but at this stage there is no alternative but to come to this tower.
You can't regret it.
But, as Florian said earlier, I didn't intend to end up as a substitute.
I was afraid that I would be able to take the lead to some extent even if I didn't have to take the place of the tower administrator.
That thought was blown away by the appearance of Mitsuki.
Then, in the conversation that followed, the perception of the study aid changed completely. Or should I say that it has been changed?
I thought it was a good story about insects a long time ago, so I laughed at myself without thinking.
"... Father?
"Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, don't worry too much. For now, it's enough to think about how to rule this town."
"... is that so?"
Alec had a playful look on his nodding daughter.
"Or would it be interesting to start a country?
"Is that...!?
"Oh, no. I'm just kidding about the boulder. For now, however."
Alec stuck a nail in his stubborn daughter.
It will take years for the boulders, but I think it will never be a dream story as long as the conditions are right.
Given the current position of the tower on the continent, this is not an impossible story.
At the very least, we will certainly be able to thrive more than trying to establish a new state on any other continent.
There are, of course, various problems before the country can emerge.
But above all, Alec was wondering if Kaisuke, the administrator of the tower, would give us permission.
