Let's Manage The Tower

(4) Teacher and Apprentice

The only temple in the Amamiya Tower is the one that exists on the fifth floor of the city.

The temple is unlikely to be so small as to be in a city of this magnitude, but no one complains about it.

The current god, the main god of this temple, exists in this world as usual, unlike other gods.

In the first place, the temple manages the tower itself, so there's no need to bother raising a large scale temple.

It was different from other gods for people's faith to be able to show themselves at all times.

By the way, most people believe in gods other than the gods of the present, but if you pray to such gods, you can use the transfer gate to go to Mixen.

These circumstances overlap, and the temple on the fifth floor of the city is not dared to seek luxury.

In addition, no one can complain about it because the temple itself was built before becoming a human god.

Normal temples are spaces where the air flows loosely, as long as there are people who pray to God or who clean the temple.

However, the temple on this day was unusual and a little busy.

For some reason, among the prayers that become the main hall of the temple, there is a gathering of people because some witches are offering prayer rituals.

In the case of a human god, there are few witches and priests who are the main gods for the reason that they are newly born.

For this reason, rituals are rare in the fifth level temple.

The ritual has been performed several times in this temple, but it was all performed by Sylvia.

Given that Lilica or Lynn were the only ones supporting it, you'll see how few witches and priests there are.

However, it is not that Kaiseki himself is not responsible.

Because I do not accept priests and witches in the shrine where I worship, there is no soil for witches and priests to grow up.

In such a state, there can be no more witches or priests.

You might say that you did not actively try to increase your believers.

Whether or not it will be necessary in the future is a delicate matter.

It is Sylvia's daughter, Kokoro, who is currently performing a prayer ritual at the shrine, to put aside the circumstances of the witch and priest of the living god.

In nominal terms, it is a ritual of prayer dedicated to the gods of the present day, but this ritual is intended to be disseminated to the outside world.

In order to inform the surroundings that Sylvia has played a role in the past and that Kokoro will continue to do so in the future.

However, such circumstances have nothing to do with those who are visiting the ceremony here.

Basically, most rituals performed by witches and priests are performed only by the inner circle of priests.

Of course, there are things for the outside world that are done to gather believers largely, but they are only done to enhance the faith of the general believer.

Visitors gathered in the temple watched the ceremony performed by Kokoro with a sigh of admiration.

I can't tell if it's because I'm watching a ritual to God that I don't normally see, or simply because the chocolate is beautiful.

If you ask the audience which is which, they will answer both.

Lirica, who was watching the chocolate ritual, had such an impression.

"... that's wonderful."

"Yes, we managed to make it."

In Lirica's words, Sylvia, who was watching the same thing next door, said something slightly out of line.

Sylvia doesn't care if the procedure I taught Kokoro for this day is followed.

I wonder if it is not in the eyes of the surrounding eyes.

"Don't worry so much, Mr. Kokoro will be fine."

"... worried? No, I'm rather worried that the corona will not make a rough face to the real gods."

Lilica laughed at Silvia's words.

"... what is it?

"No, nothing."

The ritual we are performing now is intended for the study of the god of the present day.

Lirica knows that the examiner will not be angry about the fact that Kokoro made a rough appearance (failure) at the ceremony.

Not to mention that Sylvia, far closer to Lirica, must not have noticed.

The complicated mood of Sylvia worrying about the chocolate, while appearing to be worried about the coarseness of the examiner, is a word.

The ritual that Kokoro is performing now is to report to God when the witch is independent from her master.

If it can be confirmed that the ritual can be performed alone, it will be sunny and independent.

For this reason, Sylvia and Lirica, who are watching, cannot watch.

And while some visitors were mixed with witches and priests, I knew what the ritual meant, so obviously, there was no one to help.

It was only natural that they were independent after a similar ritual.

No such thing is revealed, and public visitors are watching carefully what they make.

Ceremonies are a series of rituals in which there is a dance to offer to God and a celebration, but some people sigh every time.

"When this ceremony is over, will you take over?"

"Yes, I'll take care of the rest."

Sylvia answered Lilica's whisper.

After Kokoro became independent, Sylvia was supposed to pull him off the scene.

I originally planned to return to Sylvia with Florian's retirement, but I waited for the ceremony to be over, as the chocolate wasn't growing enough to take over.

"Of course."

Seeing Lirica nodding forcefully, Sylvia watched for a moment.

"Oh, you seem pretty confident."

"If you look at today's Kokoro-sama ritual, I think it's natural."

Lirica answered without turning a blind eye to the chocolate ritual.

Really?... I guess that's what you're saying. "

Lilika leaned her neck to Silvia, nodding.

"On the contrary, is it surprising that Sylvia is so weak?

As you can see from the reaction of the surroundings, the chocolate ritual that is taking place in front of me was incredibly well done by a very new witch.

Lirica would be surprised if Sylvia were so weak.

"... maybe so. As expected, a real parent can't look calmly."

Sylvia's face watching Kokoro's ritual is completely her mother's.

Originally, if you can't analyze calmly as a witch, you can't lose sight of your parents.

I'm still short of training, too.

Lilika watched Sylvia as she closed.

"When Sylvia grows up as a witch, I don't think anyone else has a position?

"I appreciate you saying that, but I'm still here."

"Hah, the training path is far from here."

In Sylvia's words, Lirica murmured with a sigh.

In the end, this day's coronation ceremony could be completed without delay.

The appearance remained strong in the hearts and minds of ordinary visitors, and they succeeded in impressing that it was sufficient as Sylvia's successor.

There was no major announcement of Sylvia's replacement for cocoa, but there was no particular problem because the ceremony of the day had already been accepted by the people.
