Let's Manage The Tower

(9) Motivation

The meeting between Colette and her parents ended in a short time.

The face-to-face meeting took place at Siomara's Mansion, but the two were surprised to see Colette in the room, who had not been informed of why the Mansion had called.

At that time, the impression of the assistant student was the expression of his father's regret.

The expression appeared only for a moment, but there was certainly a distorted mouth that resembled Colette.

After that, however, it was just three people talking indifferently.

I could understand that even the examinations I was looking at from the side were not already recognized by each as a family.

Colette herself didn't seem particularly resentful of her parents, and I had the impression that she was simply checking the facts.

It was the impression of Kaiseki that each of them was already walking their own way.

Even if I saw this, I did not intend to take the trouble to improve the relationship.

If Colette is convinced, that's fine.

Of course, if you're going to do something bad to Colette, I'm going to do everything in my power to confront it.

Colette's expression was very refreshing when she finished face-to-face.

From the point of view of the examiner, I imagined that I completely cut off the past, but I don't know the real heart.

I hardly ever had the opportunity to hear from Colette about my parents after this.

I'm not going to force you to wear it back even as an examiner.

It was the assistant's stance to talk if the person wanted to.

However, if this had a negative impact on the person, I would have been reluctant to go into it, but Colette had almost never had an impact on her parents.

At this time, the feeling that Kaiseki cut off the past is that it was not wrong.

In contrast to Colette's blown expression, Siomara, who set up this seat, looked lonely.

After I met my parents, Colette said she wanted to be alone for a while, and when I left her alone, she groaned.

"... after all, didn't you return to your original sheath?"

Kaiseki reacted to Shiomara's words.

"Original sheath, before your sister was born?

"Yes, because we were close in spite of our surroundings."

I had a different feeling about Shiomara, who thinks back in time.

"Well, an elf, or a high elf, really avoids changing the status quo."

Huh?

Siomara blinked without knowing why she felt that way from her own words.

Seeing that, Kaiseki smiled bitterly at himself.

"People, especially human beings, rely on the flow of time to make decisions from time to time.... it doesn't matter if it's good or bad. That's why I think we should go our own way in times like this one."

The examiner will continue further once the story has been divided there.

"But thinking of the old days, you said you should go back then. I remembered when the old relationship was good, and I wanted it to continue."

Of course, not all humans are the same, or the elves are.

And even the same person will often have different responses in each situation.

However, I must not feel that there is such a temperament of each race in the study that I have come into contact with various races in this world.

It's just something I personally feel, and it's not something that I can prove to be.

"That's..."

After listening to the exam assistant, she had a contemplative look on her face.

The examiner who saw it shook his right hand to the left and right in a hurry.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Rather, it's a good thing."

Huh?

Seeing Shiomara blinking her eyes as if she had accidentally said so, Kaiseki smiled bitterly.

"If the presence of human beings is really a good thing, then we will incorporate any race. There is something wrong with not being so. Always."

Otherwise, the species that thought differently would have been driven out, and Siomara laughed at the auxiliary who said a rude thing.

It turns out I did that on purpose to brave Shiomara, who was a little depressed.

"... it must have been thanks to you that Colette was able to change that far."

Suddenly, Shiomara said such a thing, and Kaiseki blinked her eyes.

"No, I think Colette said that earlier. Not because of me, but because of a woman named Sylvia."

Siomara shook her neck to the side and to the side in response to the words of the examiner.

"That's probably how it started, but I think it's because of you that Colette is here right now. This is a woman's guess."

In Theomara's last words, Kaiseki clogged the words.

When a woman's intuition is taken out, it is difficult to deny it as a man.

After seeing such an examination, Siomara's reinforcements arrived unexpectedly.

Mitsuki was listening to them silently.

"The story of Theomara is true. I'm sure it's because of you that Colette has changed so much."

Kouhi nodded to support the mite.

Oh, I see.

Seeing Kouhi and Mitsuki, Shiomara shined her face.

The assistant student who saw it had a bad feeling.

In any case, I feel like we're about to start a romantic relationship.

Besides, the center of the story is myself and Colette.

I wanted to avoid the story, but unfortunately I couldn't escape.

Colette, who came back to the room where the examiners were, joined them.

After that, Colette began to boast about studying, and Kouchi and Mitsuki became in sync, leaving no place for studying.

Colette was added to the Ritual of the Living Spirit, and the people in the Elves were not informed at all.

In the first place, most elves don't know that Colette is in Seuli's village.

Only a handful of the people who worked in Siomara's Mansion knew.

It was natural not to tell anyone that Colette would perform.

I was wondering if it would be okay to perform the ceremony in that way, but Colette and Theomala nodded that it would be okay in a hurry.

"As far as the ritual of the living spirit is concerned, it is a ritual that the witch undertakes in one hand. There's no other way out."

"Even if there is, you will be beaten by people around you."

It seems that if the witch talks about what she does, it means that she talks about the world tree.

In an elf society protected by a world tree, talking to the world tree is the same as complaining to God.

The examiner nodded convincingly in their explanation and looked at Colette as if he remembered.

"Oh, so what were you doing over there?

"Of course I'm doing it. In short, it's a ritual to take a part of the power that the world tree is pumping up."

According to Colette's explanation, it was "the ritual of the living spirit" to receive a part of the divine power that the world tree was converting and use it to grow the surrounding creatures.

However, it seems that Colette also understood the original meaning of the Living Spirit ritual after he was able to handle the power of God.

In fact, Siomara nodded loudly when she heard Colette's story.

"I mean, today over there, the ritual..."

"I'll go first. The ritual itself will be over in a short time."

"We apologize for the inconvenience."

Colette shook her head in a hurry when she saw Shiomara say so.

"I don't think it's a nuisance, please stop."

In the first place, this is the request from this world tree.

It was Colette who couldn't and didn't want to say no.

In Seuri's later village, it was just a little while before it first started to be called the Great Transformation of Utah.
