Let's Manage The Tower
Episode 5 Witch Princess
Sylvia and Peach, who had done what they had to do, were doing business in Mixen's city.
It's no big deal, I'm shopping to get my personal stuff together.
I usually get what I need to live in management through the crown.
But this is how we get things like this for personal use in town.
Nevertheless, management members rarely go out and buy things because there aren't many highly desirable people.
This time, they had a discussion with the church, so they were going to buy a little something at the same time.
Sylvia is a small object that a clergyman needs, and peaches need tools for fortune-telling.
The city of Mixen is nothing but a city of clergy on boulders, and the assortment of such things is extraordinary in the continent.
I didn't really need anything, so I was going to buy both of them for this occasion.
The shopping between the two women didn't end with just one shop, and the incident happened as they went around a few shops.
The two women, Karin and Shuri, who were present as representatives, bowled together in the same shop.
The four people in the bowl looked at each other as if they had accidentally said so.
Sylvia and Peach are on the scene, and I don't intend to go on.
Waiting for a response on how the other side would come out, Karin approached Silvia.
"... I was unable to confirm it on the previous occasion, is that okay?
For some reason, Karin's attitude was different from that of the previous meeting, and she seemed confused about how to deal with Sylvia.
"What about the temple in the tower?
"No... I'd like to talk to you about something else right now."
Sylvia leaned her neck.
"... another story?
"Yes, Sylvia says Sylvia Rufeus, doesn't she?
"Sure, I'm Sylvia Lufeus..."
Sylvia, who had a somewhat unpleasant feeling, stood up unexpectedly.
"So you're still Sylvia, the 'Witch Princess'?
When Karin asked, Shri, who was next to Karin, had a surprising look on her face.
The witch princess refers to the young witches who hold the highest position.
At the end of the day, it is not uncommon for a seat to be vacant because it is a position that cannot be filled without a deity.
There may be no one in the world to look for, but there may be multiple nominations.
Naturally, being or having been in the position of a witch princess is an elite among the elites as a priest.
Asked by Karin, Sylvia replied with a smile.
"If so, what would you do?
"... no. I'm sorry, sir. This is not what I'm going to do. But for someone like me, it's just nice to see you."
Karin's eyes were completely maiden.
"Did you say Karin?... I've already left the temple. As far as the temple is concerned, she must have dismissed me as a witch."
"... but! For us, you are...!
Sylvia took control of Kalin by hand.
"For me, it's the past. I decided to leave the temple at my discretion. I still think I made the right decision."
Karin is silent about Sylvia.
"Thanks to this, I am now recognized as a witch of God.... I'm still immature."
On behalf of Karin, who was silent, Shuri spoke now.
"... can I abandon the position of 'witch princess'?
Shri doesn't know Sylvia as well as Karin does.
However, with regard to the position of "witch princess", I have knowledge as a person in the clergy.
In the continent where Shuri lived, no one has held the position of 'witch princess' for at least the last few decades.
By the way, I've heard rumors that there was a 'witch princess' on the continent of Karin.
Sylvia leaned slightly and said.
"In the first place, 'witch princess' is decided by the name of God. Just because you left the temple doesn't mean you're no longer in that position."
After one breath, Sylvia continued her words.
"Well, after I left the temple, I voluntarily dismissed my" witch princess "status. I didn't have a shrine, but I was wondering why it worked."
It was not a difficult story, it was simply self-proclaimed that the church deserted the status of "witch princess" for those who had left the temple.
At that time, I could not confirm the status, but I imagine that if I could confirm it at that time, it would have been the title of "witch princess".
When Kaiseki met, it was already told that the title was not "witch princess" because it was a myth.
In some cases, the information was fragmented and uncertain because it was without assistance such as divine instruments.
Sylvia was already traveling around, so the position of "witch princess" was not very helpful.
It was because of her age that she was no longer a "witch princess".
You can't be a 'witch princess' until you're an adult.
In this world, adults turn fifteen. After that year, she was no longer a "witch princess".
"... Do you know about this?
"Of course. What I told you."
Sylvia had already told me that she was a witch before Kaiseki became a real god.
Sylvia suddenly began to laugh, recalling that the only feeling she had at that time was "Hmm".
Sylvia had already been separated from the past, so I had no idea what to do with the church.
I think it is now that I also felt that I was studying around that area.
"... you won't come back anymore, will you?
Sylvia smiled bitterly at Karin's words.
"There's no going back, I'm already that witch. The place I should return to is where he came from, not this shrine."
In Sylvia's clear response, Karin distorted his face.
"As a good old admonition, what I just said in the temple is a good admonition to everyone there. If you don't tell the church that you belong to, you'll be seriously abandoned by the gods.
"If you can't get proper advice on the spot, you can't help it ~"
The peach that had been kept quiet until now came between my mouth.
I thought it was time to cut to the chase.
"You can do whatever you want to tell me. But I can't guarantee what will happen if I don't tell them what to tell them."
"... are you threatened?
Sylvia sighed at Shri's words.
"At a time when you're already doing that, you can't. What I told you at the temple was not my personal opinion, it was something I was told to convey in mythology."
To be precise, I heard it was a crossgod, not a consecration, but I'm not going to teach you that much.
"I don't know what's going on if I don't tell you what's going on, or if I don't tell you what's going on.
Sylvia, who thought there was no point in telling him any more, urged him to look at the peach and leave.
Peach nodded and started walking like Sylvia.
Instead of stopping Sylvia, the two who were left were just standing there for a while.
