Let's Manage The Tower
Episode 12: The Monitoring of God
Participants who saw the great work of summoning the three pillars of God have finally regained calm.
When the host Sarasa, who had been left alone without forcing him to suppress his giggles, was about to go on with the event again.
Something came flying towards the examiner. It was a few daggers.
All of them were targeting the urgent need for assistance, so if they hit, they would have been definitely fatal.
Incidentally, Kouchi and Mitsuki were aware of the dagger, but dared not move.
Because I knew I didn't have to move.
The dagger was played with a high sound of oyster and armor on the verge of being assisted.
I knew this was going to happen, but I still sweated cold at the dagger that came after me.
However, I smiled so that I wouldn't give you such a gift.
"... I think it would be great to try to make a proper request in this situation... but even within the bounds of a temple blessed by God, do you think you can assassinate?
Following the words of the examiner, the executor immediately left the scene.
"Go after...!!
The words of Gazelan echoed around, and the adventurers who were guarding the surroundings began to chase him.
Now the venue becomes noisy in another sense.
Sarasa started talking to the participants.
"I'm sorry for the disturbance. Don't worry, we'll catch the undelivered one anyway."
"I think he's getting away...!!
One of the participants shouted so.
Sarasa smiled nicely at her voice.
"You cannot escape this hierarchy without using the transfer gate. It's like he's running around in a cage."
The man who shouted also silenced in Sarasa's words.
It turned out that there was no lie in her statement.
"By the way, I can't tell you more about the tower security, but I've already captured his magic pattern. No matter how you change your shape, you can capture it when you try to cross the metastasis gate."
Magic patterns are the same as fingerprints and are different for individuals, but they cannot be changed freely.
I can't hide it because it can only be shaped like I'm alive.
"... Does that mean it's only a matter of time before the undeliverable gets caught?
Again, one of the participants asked.
That's what I'm talking about.
Sarasa asserted that there was finally a relaxed flow of air among the participants.
By the way, the adventurers, half of the participants, aren't making much noise.
These interactions are always in a position to happen.
"Now that we've had a little bit of a commotion, but the temple has been set up safely, I'd like to continue the ceremony."
That's what Sarasa said and started the ceremony again.
Although there was an unexpected event called Kaiseki's assassination attempt, the temple's inauguration ceremony went smoothly.
Above all, the participants who witnessed the historic feat of the summoning of the three pillars of God were still not cold from their excitement.
In the meantime, good news for the adventurers, who accounted for half of the participants, was also presented by the tower.
This is about the contents of the exam I talked to Florian before.
Shortening the transition to the party that reached the fifty-first floor, the beginning of the dungeon hierarchy, and the installation of a safety area for each hierarchy.
The adventurers who were not noisy at the time of the assassination attempt earlier shouted.
It is a matter of course because it will be involved in the future hierarchical strategy, and it will be greatly involved in our own activities.
Once this meeting is over, it is clear that analysis will begin soon.
Conversely, the reaction of the remaining half of the leading figures was weak.
This is natural, too.
Indirectly, it was related to the adventurers bringing in more types of materials, but it was also a natural reaction because it had nothing to do with them directly.
The event, called the inauguration ceremony, ended like this, and it was finally time for the dinner party that the participants waited for.
Naturally, the aim of the participants is to study aids.
However, it was announced by the organizer, Salasa, that it would crush his thoughts.
"... please note that Kouske, the representative of the Tower, will not be attending the upcoming dinner party."
In a sense, this is the time when the groaning gets biggest.
Most of the participants, including the adventurers, aimed to have a direct conversation with the examiners.
The assumption was removed brilliantly.
The examiner said a word to answer the groan.
"... please be quiet. I thought I didn't have to go out of my way to a party where I knew my life was at stake. Enjoy the party."
Now, aside from that, the examiner tried to leave the scene.
It was Lines who kept it.
"Please wait. In that way, the thief who tried to kill you earlier seems to have something to do with it.
"Yeah, that's right. Some of them hired him to do something like that."
The examiner asserted that.
Of course, it is only because there are sufficient grounds to conclude.
"You said quite categorically, do you have any evidence?
Another participant stood up and said so.
Several participants began to say yes in response to the words.
The examiner, who confirmed it, stood up and smiled bitterly at the man after displaying a moment of surprise.
"Do you think we need evidence here? Lord Felchia."
"... what?
"Can you explain for me, Lord Laurel? Oh, please don't look like that. Wouldn't it be more convincing if someone in the clergy explained it than I did?
Suddenly, Laurel started talking to the man who was called Lord Felchia with his face shut.
"... this man, Kouske, summoned the gods of the three pillars earlier. Not only that, but the building before us is blessed by God."
"... what are you trying to say?
"This land is sanctified by God. Lord Felchia."
Sacred places are equal to the direct control of God.
"In this land, any conspiracy is foreseen by God."
"... no matter how much God watches, how do people identify it?
He wants to say that God is watching, but if he doesn't listen to the word of God, it doesn't make sense.
Unfortunately, Felchia's words will be smashed in the next speech.
"Um... I have something here called a metaphor..."
In the words of Kaiseki, the eyes of the temple officials gathered into the tools of Kaiseki.
They must have shared information about the artifacts Sylvia used in Mixen's temple.
But Felchia, who doesn't know what it means, raised her eyebrows and questioned.
"... What is an artifact?
"To put it simply, it is a divine instrument that can talk to God."
"... what!?
"Did you think you could summon God without any trouble in the first place? We talked about it in advance and called it in.
Of course, you can do it without a god, but I'm not going to say that.
By the way, I was able to confirm that the Summon Monster was not a one-time event, but I didn't intend to spread it.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to do anything to you here, just because there was another god."
"... Speaking of which, how many?
It was Reines who had listened silently until then.
"Yes. Sir Felchia, Lord Hound and Lord Aines are directly involved, aren't they?
Those who heard the words of the examiner saw the three of them in a way that they did not say they had heard from others.
I don't go out of my way to check who told me.
Everyone here is watching the summons earlier.
"That's why, as far as the three of you are concerned, we're going to have to stop doing business with the Crown. Make yourself comfortable with the others. That's why we can't force it because we don't have any evidence."
Then, aside from that, Kaiseki disappeared from the scene with Kouhi and Mitsuki.
Because it is a corner, I escaped to Yuriyu Shrine using the abilities taught me by Yuri to check the effect.
The remaining participants met face to face and started discussing what to do in the future.
Of course, it goes without saying that Felchia, Hondo, and Ainez were cut off from the discussion.
It was only natural not to deal with someone who had been warned by God.
