Let's Manage The Tower
Episode 4 About God's Left Eye
I was playing with the examiner for a while, but I remembered that I wanted to ask Ashra something.
"Speaking of which, what is this left eye power after all?
Ashra gave a false expression to the question.
"Didn't you notice?
"... huh?
"... yes. It's your own power, isn't it?
Ashra answered with a surprised look on her face.
"Eh!? What's that? It wasn't Asla's power!?
"Oh, that's what I'm talking about.... yes, I did say it was my power, but what I gave you as a gift was just an inspiration.
"What do you mean?
"All I did was inspire you to use the power of God through your eyes. It was the Kaiseki himself who decided how to use his powers through his eyes."
That being said, I finally understood what Ashra wanted to say.
When I was in the Divine Realm, I was taught how to use some divine powers, but there was a possibility that the expression through the body could not be successful because it was only in the soul.
Ashra simply made it possible to express her divine powers through her left eye, as she had never said.
"That means that the status display..."
"Yes, you developed it yourself using your powers. Needless to say, this is certainly the first phenomenon in the world. Of course, none of the creatures in this world have that power."
I unexpectedly roared at the report.
After seeing such an examination, Asla continued to laugh with a smile.
"By creating the first theory of status display and spreading it as a crown card, I made the world aware of the concept of status.
Thanks to this, I can say that I met one of the conditions for becoming a real god. "
"... well, maybe if it wasn't expressed as a magic eye..."
"If it had been a normal phenomenon, it wouldn't have been a condition for being a human god."
Asura sighed as if she had given up her exam.
"I mean... from the beginning, I chose my own path... Although unconscious..."
"That's what this is all about."
That's what Asla said, but then she turned carefree.
"... don't you like being a real god so much?
According to Asura, Kaiseki shook his head in a hurry.
"Oh, no, that's not true. It's just that I'm not surprised, I'm not able to organize my mind... and I don't feel disgusted."
The examiner was strange to himself, but as I told Ashra, I didn't feel like saying no.
I was depressed by the increase in teasing, but I am not shying away from becoming a real god.
As for the examiner herself, I don't feel that anything in particular has changed greatly in the way the body is made.
"... well, at best, if it doesn't spread to the tower members... no way!?
I unexpectedly lost sight of Asura from the study aid, and I had a bad feeling about the study aid.
"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, but by the time I got here, I've been certified as a real god, so maybe it's spreading from around Ellis...?
"Oh, wait. Stop it, stop it right now."
Considerations that desperately try to stop it from spreading.
After seeing it, Asla immediately started contacting somewhere.
"... yeah. Yeah, I knew it. Yeah... no, well, I guess I can't help it.... yeah, I'll be waiting."
When Asla finished her communication, she looked a little stunned.
"I just want to apologize. Ellis, come here."
"... apologize?
Aid to lean your neck without knowing the situation.
I didn't hear the conversation, so I didn't know what it was about. They unconsciously refused to come up with an answer.
Before such an examination, the light appeared for a moment, and then Ellis remained.
... with your head down.
"... I'm sorry."
"Um... I don't know what's going on...?
Looking at Ellis somehow, he said that he had understood the situation, or that his brain had finally begun to work, but that was the answer for now.
"... haven't you been told?
With a slightly strange face, Ellis looked at Asla.
"Well, I think you should tell me this."
"... I see. Thank you very much."
That said, Ellis lowered his head once to Asla, and looked at the examiner and lowered his head again.
"I'm sorry. When Sylvia had the cross, she reported that she had arrived safely, but also that she had become a human god."
In a way, as expected, the examiner was more impatient with Ellis' reaction than expected.
As far as examinations were concerned, it wasn't enough to keep my head down.
Honestly, I decided to say so.
"Oh, no. Nothing, it's not enough for you to do that. It's okay if they know."
"... is that true?
Ellis showed a somewhat disturbing expression, and Kaiseki smiled slightly.
"True. So don't worry so much about Ellis. Well, they'll make fun of you later, but that's all."
There is also the idea that tower members cannot go out of their way to spread such an important story to others.
Seeing such an examination, Ellis looked relieved.
"... thank you."
That's what I said, and I lowered my head again.
"Oh, yeah. That's the end of it."
Ellis said again with a smile that he was going to keep his head down if he didn't stick a nail.
Ellis also replied "yes" and nodded little by little.
If left unchanged, the atmosphere would always be dragging, so the examiner decided to change the subject.
"So, I wanted to check one more thing, but why is Ellis becoming a goddess instead of a goddess in status?
Asla and Ellis looked at each other at the same time.
"... Didn't you say?
"I didn't tell you... I told you about the status in the first place just now."
Having heard the two conversations, Kaiseki remembered the story he had just heard from Ashra.
The status is a phenomenon developed by Kaiseki.
"... that? Does that mean I'm making my own distinction between goddesses and goddesses?
When asked about the exam aid, they had a subtle look.
"I can say it's true, I can say it's not."
"In the first place, the status display was certainly conceived by Kaiseki, but the information displayed is not Kaiseki's."
"I'm pulling it out of the information recorded in the World Records and displaying it so it's easy to understand. Naturally, you use your powers to pull it out."
I tried desperately to understand both commentaries.
"Does that mean that the display itself is something that is originally recognized in this world?
That's what I'm talking about.
Elise affirms the words of the examiner.
"In the first place, you called the three of them Heavenly Girls. If the world hadn't recognized the three of us as goddesses, the summons wouldn't have succeeded.
If you ask, you're right.
In the chanting at the time of the Summoning of God, Ellis and the others were summoned as goddesses, but they were summoned properly.
This means that, regardless of their religious status, Ellis and his family are also recognized as Heavenly Women in the World Records.
"Ah. That means that my status makes Ellis a Heavenly Girl..."
"The combination of World Records and studying hobbies... is a joke, and World Records recognizes Ellis as a heavenly woman."
Asura's commentary somehow convinced me to nod.
I see.... so what is World Record?
"I'm sorry. I can't talk about it in detail yet. Ellis and the others don't know much about it."
"Still nothing."
"Yes, it is. Not yet."
Asura smiled at the entrance of the examiner.
The examiner who saw it did not pursue it any further.
Because I know that Asla will tell you if she needs to.
The fact that you can't teach me means there's a reason for that.
It is understandable that Ellis and the others should not know in detail that they are not the gods of Ashracus in the true sense.
Even as an examiner, I didn't dare to lie.
