Let's Manage The Tower

After dinner.

Kaiseki saw Kokoro approaching with his contemplated expression and leaned his neck inside.

I knew something might have happened, but I waited for Kokoro to speak without saying anything from the examiner.

The coro opened and closed his mouth several times before he finally uttered his words.

"Father. I need to talk to you."

"Yeah, okay. In the meantime, we're all here, so why don't we move?

It is a relaxing space for management that the examiners are here.

Even when I looked at the expression, I realized that it was a serious consultation, so I suggested that the examiner listen in a calm place.

Kokoro nodded and agreed after hearing the dialogue of Kaiseki.

"Yes, please."

Confirming that Kokoro had a slightly flattering face, Kaiseki decided to relocate the place with her to listen.

The assistant who moved to the room decided to speak as gently as possible to the colloquium showing that he was still not sure whether to say it or not.

"So, what's wrong?

I don't know if it went well, but I think I talked quite politely from the examiner himself.

Still, Kokoro showed an instantaneous agitation and breathed heavily and deeply.

"Ah, um..."

Hmm?

When he leaned his neck, Kokoro still looked lost, but after a while he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.

"Oh, your father's... no. Ah, um... can't I have the protection of a mortal god!?

When Kokoro said that, there was a blank moment.

As far as examinations were concerned, I was stunned by too many unexpected words.

I suddenly rushed to see what Kokoro had misunderstood.

"Ah, well, after all, it's impolite. I can't believe I'm suing God for protection. I'm sorry."

After he had finished speaking quickly, Kokoro tried to leave the room.

Seeing it, Kaiseki grabbed Kokoro's arm in a hurry.

"No, no, wait a minute. It wasn't like that, it was just a surprise."

"... Hi?

"Did you want my protection?

The chocolate with its neck tilted was stunned by the words of the examiner.

In the first place, Kokoro needed the assistance of Sylvia's successor.

Neither Kaiseki nor Sylvia, and Towa didn't say anything about the need for Kaiseki's protection, but that's what happened due to the reaction from the surroundings and the person's assumptions.

In the end, Kokoro was unable to consult with Sylvia, and he struggled to find a way to get the support of Kaiseki alone.

However, I had already received the protection of the three pillars, but I couldn't get the protection of the examiner.

I had fallen into various negative thoughts such as whether getting the fourth one was too unreasonable or whether I was feeling good because I got the third one.

Sylvia was aware of the situation, but she didn't even know that the direct cause was the lack of assistance.

If I had known about it, I would have scolded and scolded you at that point.

Sylvia also saw Cocolo as his successor, but she didn't think that she would need the help of an assistant.

By the way, the three-pillar corollo is far too qualified.

What was unfortunate to Kokoro was that his parents were too far removed from the public from Sylvia and Kaiseki, so there was a lack of common sense.

As for Sylvia, I was going to teach him, but it was still not enough.

As an examiner, I had no idea that Kokoro wanted his protection, so her words were surprising.

Above all, I couldn't think of any reason why Kokoro, who was steadily increasing his protection, wanted his protection.

After hearing the story from Kokoro, who had regained calm, Kaiseki nodded convincingly.

"Ah, I see. I thought you needed my protection to replace Sylvia."

"Yes, yes. Um... isn't it?

I finally realized this from the appearance of the examiner, but I heard it with a feeling of fear.

"Hmm, what do you think? I'm sure it would be better, but it would be subtle if they asked me if it was absolutely necessary."

The operation of the state requires the support of shrines and churches, but these people do not have protection in the first place.

Rather, you are in a rarer state.

However, since Razek Amamiya is a special country from its inception, I can quite agree that it needs protection.

Even so, Towa, who is already in power, is the real son of Kaiseki.

From that point of view, it is not the case that Kokoro, who is going to support Towa, absolutely needs the help of Kaiseki.

In the first place, Towa was in a completely different initial position from Floria.

Well, was that so?

It was a place where I almost stuck my hand to the floor, but I managed to hold on to it.

However, there would have been no choice but to hang on to it.

It's nice to act with all your heart, but if you're told that you may not really need it, it's only natural.

"Even if you couldn't talk to Sylvia or me, you should have talked to Towa."

The examiner said so with a bitter smile.

If Kokoro had consulted Towa directly, Towa would have returned an answer similar to Kaiseki's.

That's what I'm sure of.

After listening to the story and seeing the depressed colloquium, Kaosuke quickly added the story.

"Besides, if you want my protection, there's no particular problem with giving it to you.

"Really... yes? What...? Is that it?"

For a moment, Kokoro leaned his neck and immediately turned into a surprised face.

"Ehhhhh...!?

Seeing the comedy, the examiner smiled bitterly.

"No, so surprising?

"Well, I mean, even if I've ever called..."

"Oh, that's right. You're doing it the wrong way. Sylvia would have told me."

I was wrong here, too.

The fact that Kaiseki was a living god was also a special way of obtaining protection.

Therefore, even if you try to get protection in the normal way, you can't get it.

However, Kokoro, who talks to the goddesses one after the other and has the protection of the three pillars, may be special at that point.

Normally, the protection of God is given unilaterally by God.

On the other hand, if the examiner gives protection, he/she must be physically close to the shrine because he/she is not in the shrine.

In the first place, the gods in the Divine Realm are not protected in the same way.

In short, if we are physically and mentally "close", we can provide protection.

All we have to do is decide whether or not to grant the study aid.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with giving Kokoro protection as an examiner.

"So, what do we do?

"... please..."

Coco, who realized that he was empty after all, blushed his face ashamed.

Still, as originally intended, I was able to acquire the protection of examiners.
