Let's Manage The Tower

(4) Invitation

The conductor's elf stopped in front of a door.

"Dear Siomara, I brought you."

"Come through."

After confirming that a woman's voice was heard from the back of the room, the conductor opened the door.

"That's all I can show you. The back is waiting for you."

After that, I indicated that I would enter the room with my right hand.

The examiners looked at it and entered the room.

Going into the back of the room, a female elf in witch clothing waited.

However, the sharp ear is obviously an elf, but I feel uncomfortable when it is called an elf.

When I felt it, I leaned my neck inside, and the woman looked impressed.

"It's a boulder. Normally I can't distinguish myself from elves... My name is Theomala of High Elves."

I did not intend to put it on my face, but it seems that I foresaw the idea of a study aid.

Theomara named herself after her while saying such a thing.

"... excuse me. I'm Kou..."

The moment Kaiseki tried to name it, Theomara blocked it with her right hand.

"I'm sorry. I've already heard your real name. Both of you."

Essena appeared before Kaiseki questioned the words.

"Niisama, I'm sorry. I told my sister."

"Onee-sama?

After Kaiseki saw Essena once, she saw Shiomara, but Essena shook her neck to the left and right.

Kaiseki then figured out who Essena called "onee-sama".

She came to the elves and was dressed like the witch clothes she had worn before.

It's easy to guess.

"... I see. You don't have to worry about that."

Kaiseki said so while calming down Essena, who was depressed.

After approaching this forest, I felt that the number of times I forgave Essena had increased.

After seeing Essena recover from her depression, Kaiseki returned to Siomara.

"I'm sorry."

Siomara shook her hand laughing at Nikoniko as she lowered her head to study what she had left behind.

"No, that's fine. It's good to know you two are very close."

No, well, is that so?

I thought it was strange to deny it here, so the answer to the examination became subtle.

In order to deceive it, I went on studying sooner.

"So, what can I do for you?

"No, it's not me, it's someone else."

Shiomara dared to murmur and said so, but the examiner soon knew who it was.

You mean what Essena says about "onee-sama."

Really? Is that where we meet?

Siomara shook her head and replied, leaning her head.

"No matter how much I'm a witch, I can't get him out of the main unit."

"Huh?!

The examiner shouted surprisingly at Shiomara's words.

Until now, Essena has come out beside the study aid as a matter of course.

Of course, I thought other fairies of the world tree could do the same.

Siomara smiled bitterly as she looked at Essena and looked at the study aid in surprise.

"You and you seem to have a special bond. I don't know the details either. I'm sure it's thanks to that."

Theomara seemed to understand exactly what Essena was like.

Besides, he told me that the relationship between Kaiseki and Essena was special.

Unfortunately, the examiner sighed at the fact that he had learned more about it.

"I never thought I'd know that again."

"It must be hard to understand yourself."

Siomara laughed and said to the examiner who was stunned by herself.

"Well, if you stay here forever, he might get a little confused. Let's get moving."

Theomara said so, pointing a different entrance from the door where the examiners came in.

"Ah, yes. I see.... Nana is also good, right?

"Of course. There is no reason to refuse your family."

The examiner nodded without saying anything, knowing that he understood Nana well.

The other door was immediately connected to the outside.

The shoes were Japanese-style, a type of building that could be removed and raised, but there were proper outpatient footwear.

The road is like the grounds of a shrine and is well maintained.

This road is said to be managed by Shiomara alone, but basically there is also the work of spirits and loneliness (?) I don't think so.

After leaving the building and proceeding long enough, the scenery appeared in front of me as expected by Kaiseki.

A giant tree has emerged that is even bigger than the world tree, the main body of Essena.

Of course, the giant tree in front of us is also one of the world's trees.

Just like another elf village I saw when Kaiseki first came to this world, he must be hiding himself at the border or something.

However, the giant tree in front of Kaiseki now showed much more presence than what he saw at that time.

This is the first time I have seen it compared to this, but the world tree I saw at that time clearly lost its presence.

For a while, Kaiseki was overwhelmed by the world tree in front of him and the spirits flying around him.

I have seen the main body of Essena many times, but compared to the giant tree in front of me, I can see that Essena is still a young tree.

A tree that really supports the world is a good beauty.

Alternatively, there may be things that can be felt because Kaiseki himself is a god.

I don't know what it is either.

"... Master Kowske?

Theomara called out as she leaned her neck to study while standing still.

The examiner who was called by his name had a happy expression.

"No, I'm sorry. I was overwhelmed that this was the way the world tree grew."

In a hurry to say so, Shiomara looked at Essena with a smile.

"This is how they will grow. I'm looking forward to it."

"Yes, that's right."

Essena, who is known as Kaiseki, has also grown considerably since the beginning.

However, considering that it will grow to look like it is now in front of me, I am looking forward to seeing it, as Theomara said.

Walk with Siomara while having such a conversation.

It took me long enough to reach the foot of the giant tree, even though it was in front of me.

As he moved his foot along the path surrounded by the forest, he eventually saw the foothills of the giant trees.

At its root, it can see many roots of the same thickness as the trees around it.

The trees in the surrounding area are so large that they are thought to be quite old in terms of age, so it can be seen that their size is incredible.

There was plenty of free space between those roots.

In the space, the postman who summoned the examiners here stood.

If you look closer, you'll see whether it's just a coincidence or inevitability, and you look a lot like Essena.

The woman dressed like a witch dress coming from Shiomara was the fairy of the world tree standing in front of the examiners.
