Let's Manage The Tower

The construction of the Temple of Alkis is no different from that of a common temple.

There is a front door and entrance that accepts worshippers.

A place like a chapel that accepts worshippers is just a short walk from the entrance.

As the town of Alkis shows to be a priest-centered town, it is common for priests who are constantly in training to offer prayers to God.

The examiner, who entered the building from the entrance, called out to one of the witches who was working in the chapel.

Um, excuse me.

Yes?

The voiced witch looked at Kaiseki with a little surprise.

Perhaps not many people speak to witches in this temple.

Basically, most people come to the chapel to offer their prayers to God.

"Is there a place where this town was founded or where history is written?

"Oh, well, then I'll be upstairs up the stairs."

Really? Thank you very much. "

The examiner, who confirmed that there was a staircase in the direction indicated by the witch, thanked him before heading there.

On the way, I remembered something and asked the witch again.

"There's no prohibition on the public entering, right?

"Yes, it's okay."

I lowered my head again to the witch who replied with a smile, and now it was time to go to the stairs.

The witch was watching as she went up the stairs, but she walked from the chapel to the hallway that went further.

"Here."

The examiner who went up the stairs was able to quickly find a bookshelf that looked like it.

In the sense of study aid, there was only a library in the house of quite a reader, but in this world it would be quite a lot.

It takes a lot of work to read everything by yourself.

I glanced at it, but it seemed that some books were written in old words.

Since Kaosuke himself could not read the ancient language to the driftstone, he decided to leave them to Mitsuki and Shreyn, and started reading from the obvious.

When Kaiseki suggested that I should take a break.

A visitor came to the room where the examiners were.

It soon became apparent from the clothes I was wearing that I was a priest who was also at a high position in this temple.

"Excuse me for being enthusiastic, but may I?

The examiner answered the priest with a smile when he talked to the examiners who were reading the book.

"Yeah, I don't mind. I was just about to take a break."

When Kaisuke said so, it was clear that the priest showed a comfortable expression.

As a matter of fact, I was looking at the time when it would come out so as not to get in the way of reading.

"My name is Adrian Manakin, and I am the head of this temple."

Adrian, who thanked me for saying so, also stood up and thanked me.

"Thank you very much for your kindness. I am an adventurer and my name is Kou. Can I help you?

He answered the greeting firmly, surprised at the sudden arrival of the temple chief.

I don't know what the requirements are, so I don't call myself a real god here.

Hearing the name of the examiner, the head of the temple nodded loudly.

"Was it? There is nothing here for you. Can you follow me?

Suddenly the offer blinked my eyes.

"Um, what do you mean?

The examiners have only said that they are ordinary adventurers before coming here.

Nevertheless, the temple chief in front of him seemed to know what the auxiliaries were looking for.

"Oh, this is not enough explanation. Actually, I knew you'd come here in advance.... Actually, there was a myth in the morning."

There were only auxiliary students here, but the temple chief dared to speak up.

The examiner who heard that also rounded his eyes.

The head of the temple who saw it nodded in a mistake.

Kaiseki was not surprised by the existence of a shrine, but rather by the head of the temple, who did so without questioning the fact that a shrine had been given to an adventurer.

However, since it has not been long since the arrival of God, I may have thought that we cannot ignore the gods.

Without knowing that Kaiseki was thinking of such a thing, Adrian went on talking.

"We were surprised, too. It's not normal for a deity to descend by designating one of its adventurers."

"I'm sure that's true."

Kaiseki dared to leave the Kaiseki's surprise to the Temple Master, who mistook it for a good feeling.

Apparently, the shrine didn't even know that Kaiseki was a real god.

"That's what this is all about, so can you come where I'll show you?

"Yes, if that's the case, please."

Since it was an offer that I did not wish to receive as an exam aid, I decided to accept it.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

The chief of the temple did not come alone to the auxiliaries, but there were also priests who looked like guards.

Some of them had grudges, but the examiners disregarded them politely.

Guided by the head of the temple, Kaiseki asked a few questions.

"Is Clara enshrined in this temple?

"Yeah, that's right. You know very well."

"It was also written in the book I read earlier."

The examiner answered that without difficulty.

In fact, I don't just know about the book, but I have had several conversations in the shrine.

The impression of Kaiseki is that oneesan always has a gentle smile.

At the same time, I didn't think it would be strange for her to do such a deity.

Somehow I had the impression of being a caretaker sister.

Thinking of such a goddess, the archaeologists headed underground while being guided by the head of the temple.

"Underground?

"That's right. Important books that you can't lose are underground. Sometimes it's sun-dried, of course."

Books touched by many unspecified people are basically copies of books that priests went to study.

The temple chief explained that the original and similar items were stored in the basement.

I see.

The examiner nodded to a convincing explanation.

"Here we are."

That said, what the Temple Master showed was one door.

The guards followed the temple chief, who opened the door and entered.

The examiners came in afterwards.

I saw far more books in the room than in the room I was in earlier.

Even with the feeling of examinations, it seemed to be about the size of public elementary and secondary schools.

This is amazing.

The temple chief also smiled at the auxiliary student who was honestly impressed.

"The temple here is where it is. Few books were lost because they were less caught up in war."

"I see. Is that so? So, are we free to look?

"Yes, of course. Feel free to watch it."

The moment the temple chief said so, some of the guards tried to say something, but the others stopped him.

By the way, those who tried to say something were the same members as those who were staring at the examiners earlier.

"I think you'll come a few times, but what is it?

"Then take this."

That's what the temple chief said and took the small things out of his pocket.

"If you are told something, please let it out. You can show that you have my approval."

"Thank you."

I honestly thanked the examiner for not being treated any more.

I don't know what kind of mystery was created, but this should be enough to proceed with the investigation.

I am worried about the gaze of some of the guards, but if I am worried about this much, I will not be able to walk around the town such as Kaosuke.

Mainly because of the jealous and crazy gaze of the men.

Though there was a shrine, the Kaiseki decided to spoil the temple chief's favor and began further investigation.
