Let's Manage The Tower
(44) Fourth
The fountain on the seventieth floor, unlike the fountain on the previous level, was entirely made of man-made objects.
The enclosure that holds the springing water in place is also completely circular in diameter of about three meters.
There was no other spring feature where the water that was gushing out in the middle of the spring stood for about 50 centimeters.
That, unlike the other fountains, also seems to indicate that this is the main place.
Kaosuke approached the three fountains and examined each water with God's left eye.
The two fountains were the ones I had found up to now, and the one I had found in Las Picca.
The last fountain happened to be a new water, and Kaiseki, who confirmed its name, was somewhat satisfied with the expected results.
The name of the third fountain was Sujal's Water.
Now we have three names: Ellis, Spica, and Jarr.
I was aware of another name as well as that.
But before I knew it, I saw Lirica.
"You said you felt a sense of spirituality, but you know where it comes from?
"Um, yes. Could you wait a little longer? I'm sure it's from here, but I don't know where the center is..."
Lirica, who had been searching for spirituality for some time without being told by the examiner, replied with her eyes closed.
It's easier to explore the mind without adding extra information that comes in with your eyes open.
It was Lirica who had been searching for the divinity for a while, but soon found a place to hit the center.
Nothing happened.
There were three fountains, just like the center.
"I think this is it..."
"What happened?
Lirica, standing in the center and tilting her neck, asked Kaiseki.
"Yes, I think I can push this, but I'm worried if I can push it."
At the tip of Lirica's finger, there was something obvious that she thought was a button.
The button is on the floor, so if you don't know anything about it, you're in a place where you might step and press it.
But most of what you get in a place that's easy to understand is a trap.
When the examiners were worried about whether to push the button forward, Peach came to the side and suddenly touched the button.
"Peach!?
I tried to stop in a hurry, but Peach answered with a confident face.
It looks like you can push it ~
Apparently he didn't try to push the button, he just wanted to touch it.
But as soon as I touched the button, Peach said so.
When you look at the face, you see that the force of the example is working.
The peach that was touching the button by hand was trying to push the button, but it was too tight to push it inside.
It was a peach playing with the button while tilting my neck for a while, but eventually I saw the examiner.
"Mr. Kowske, can you push me?
"What? Me?
"Yes, I think it would be better if it weren't for Mr. Kouske."
"Nh. Okay. Would you excuse me for a moment?
When Kaiseki said that, he avoided the peaches that he had been studying with the buttons while crouching.
He crouched down and pushed the button with his hand in the same way.
Then I was able to quickly press the button.
The moment I touched the button, I found myself reacting to Kaiseki's temper.
It seems that from the beginning, he was able to react only to those who were sane.
When Kaiseki pressed the button, suddenly a bang sounded from the surroundings.
"Lord!
Soon Kouhi approached the examiner and became in a good position no matter what happened, Mitsuki alerted the surrounding area.
Nana, who was next to the mite, was similarly lowering her posture.
The surrounding situation changed rapidly as the sound of the earth sounded.
Dong-dong and his vision went up.
The place where the samurai were, the place where the fountain was rising up into the air.
By the time the sound stopped ringing, a temple at the top of a place with a fountain appeared.
However, since the samurai are on the temple, not all of them can be seen.

As a staircase descended by the fountain, the samurai descended downstairs.
There is a fountain on the second floor where Kaosuke used to be, and the way down is on the first floor, and you can see the entrance to the outside.
The ground floor was not divided into several rooms, but was built like a large hall with a large space.
From the previous move, the ground floor part should have been underground, but there was no unique smell like it had been buried in the soil for a long time.
On the contrary, there is an atmosphere that makes you feel quiet.
He was an auxiliary student who came down to the ground floor to observe the hall as he wished, but among them, Lirica was paying attention to the painting written on the wall of the hall.
The examiner approached Lirica and spoke.
"I've been watching with great enthusiasm, but what do you know?
Asked by the examiner, Lirica stared at the painting for a while and shook her neck to the right and left.
"I can say I understand, I can say I don't know."
"What do you mean?
In response to Lirica's subtle reply, the examiner leaned his head.
"First of all, I understand that this painting itself is a painting of a very old age god. But I've never seen anything written here either."
In this world where there are many gods, there are few people who know all the gods.
Not to mention that some gods have been lost in the past, so if those stories were written, Lirica would have done the same.
"... if I'm not mistaken, I think the three pillars written here are the three great gods."
Before Lirica pointed to a part of the painting, a three-pillar woman was drawn.
When asked, the faces of the women certainly had the same characteristics as those of the goddesses who knew Kaiseki.
However, I was worried that Lirica was feeling unconfident about what she was saying.
That's a lot of confidence.
"Yes, to be clear, I'm not sure. Because I've never seen a woman surrounded by three pillars in the middle."
Lirica is right, there are several places in the painting where a three-pillar woman is depicted.
However, all the pictures depict a fourth woman.
In addition, the fourth pillar woman is depicted as having a more prominent position than the third pillar woman.
"I have never heard of the existence of God above the three great gods."
I see.
The examiner replied so briefly to Lirica's words, but when he heard it, Lirica seemed to have perceived something.
"Master Kouske?
Lirica looked at her while tilting her neck, but Kaiseki shook her neck from side to side.
"No, but if the woman is above the other three pillars, can we assume that the temple is where she was enshrined?
Did you understand from the attitude of the examiner that you should not ask any more questions? Lirica also answered the questions of the examiner without asking any more questions.
"Yes, but on a larger scale, it might be better to say that this is a sub-temple to celebrate merit than a temple."
"Oh, that's for sure."
She nodded in agreement with Lirica's convincing explanation.
After spending some time studying the temple, the examiners quickly headed for the transfer gate, which leads to the seventy-first floor.
As long as the transfer gate passes, you can come to the seventieth floor at any time.
Although the temple was not fully investigated, I realized that it would be better if everyone else didn't touch it.
The examiner also knew that and dared not put it into words.
