Let's Manage The Tower

The day of the regular visit to the shrine.

Kaiseki saw a strange sight and happened to ask Jar, who was next door.

"Hey, what are you doing with that?

"Which one? Oh, that. You've never seen an exam aid before?

"Yeah, I've never seen it before."

In front of both of them, the goddesses touched a crystal-like sphere in a small hall.

Moreover, it's not like I've been touching it all the time, but instead, the goddesses come and touch it a little and leave the room.

Looking from the side, it seems like a worshipper who is touching a profitable stone when he touches it.

Having heard the thoughts of Kaiseki, Jar nodded convincingly.

"I see. But it's not far, though, is it?

"Oh, is that so?

"Actually, it's just touching the orb in the middle of the room."

"What do you mean?

"Hmm, hey.... Ah, Ellis sister! I left the explanation to you!

Regardless of how to explain it, Jar leaned his neck, but suddenly he saw Ellis appearing in front of him and said such a thing.

Of course, Ellis, who hadn't heard the two of them, would have leaned his neck.

"... what are you talking about?

I had no choice but to ask Ellis the same question again.

After hearing the explanation from the examiner, Ellis nodded convincingly.

I see. Simply put, it gathers the divine powers to sustain this shrine. "

"The power?

"Yes, because it takes a lot of power to keep this vast area as one world."

Oh, yeah.

I nodded at Ellis's explanation, but I doubted it.

"What? I don't realize that the space I'm building uses so much divine power?

There are two shrines created by Kaiseki.

One is a space that Mia manages that is relayed on the way to Little Amamiya, and the other is a space where Kaosuke, Kouhi and Mitsuki, plus only five female members of the team can go.

I know that it is not comparable to the shrines where the goddesses live, but I have little consciousness that Kaiseki himself uses his powers to maintain the two shrines in the first place.

"That's right. This divine power is completely different between the space created by Kasuke and the vast space where these natural objects are located."

"Ah, I see."

If you think about it, the examiner nods convincingly for a natural reason.

I wondered why I didn't think of such a thing in the first place.

"That's how we gather our powers."

Ellis nodded as the goddesses continued to touch the orb.

"That's right. There are other reasons."

"What do you mean?

"As a goddess, if you keep your powers, you can maintain your connection to this world."

Ellis, who had a slightly lonely expression, also had a magical look on his face.

That's what I'm talking about.

The fact that Kaiseki came to the Shrine on a regular basis was also the result of the hope that the goddesses would be able to keep their presence.

For the goddesses, touching this orb and devoting their powers has the same meaning.

"It also means preserving the divine nature of the goddess."

This way the goddesses touch the orb so they can remember their divinity.

The divinity that I remember in this way is not particularly usable for anything, but it is a record that it existed in the past.

Rather than disappear without leaving any evidence of existence as a goddess, it is better to leave it in some form.

In fact, the divinity of the goddess who disappeared is also well recorded in this orb.

However, only Ashra, the Lord of the Divine Realm, has access to these records.

Even Ellis can't see the record.

Hmm.

"Perhaps you can see it if you're Kaiseki."

"Eh!? Is that so?

This is what Ellis and the others thought they couldn't touch.

But Ellis looked at the examiner's eyes and said.

"That's the eye."

"Eyes?"

"That's right. If the power of Kaiseko-san's eyes grows, it may be possible to see such things."

Oh, yeah.

"Maybe there's a hope for me, too."

Ellis, who laughed like a prank, leaned his neck.

"What do you mean?

"No, I was wondering if Kaiseki would remember me when I disappeared."

The words were too abrupt, and Kaiseki blinked his eyes.

"No, I think I'm in danger myself when Ellis is gone?

"Really?

That's right.

Well, that's what I'm going to do.

It was Ellis, to say the least, but I dared not go any further.

Kaiseki believes that the disappearance of Ellis is the time when a major change has taken place, such as the disappearance of Earth Gard's world.

I don't know how much life there is for Kaiseki, who became a human god, but I didn't think that Kaiseki himself would survive until such a state.

However, as far as Ellis' face was concerned, it did not seem to be so, but it was a study aid to avoid thinking about it.

"By the way..."

Judging that the questions from the examiner were over, Ellis saw Jar nodding beside them.

"Why did you leave it to me?

"Huh!?

Jar, with a stunning expression, shakes his right index finger to the left and right.

"Um, look. It's a corner, Ellis. I think I should talk to my sister."

"I don't know what a 'corner' is, but is it? I knew it was because you forgot the role of Orb."

"That's not true!?

Ellis stared at Jarr, who swayed his gaze from side to side.

"That's right. No matter how much you do, it's not going to happen."

"Ugh!

Just staring at herself, Jar choked on her words.

Eventually, he turned his gaze over the top right as if he couldn't stand it anymore.

"... here. I was kind of a wacko, so I thought maybe I should leave it to Ellis's sister..."

"Ah, absolutely..."

Ellis sighed with astonishment at the confessed Jar.

I could hear the interaction between the two, or I could hear a giggle from a little distance.

"Well, let Ellis do the same. Most goddesses have forgotten what they meant, haven't they?

That's what brought me closer to Asla.

"Really?

I think it is quite important in terms of content, but Kaiseki leaned his neck to think that it would be easy to forget that.

"That's right. Let's create a place where the goddesses, who had barely met each other before, could gather."

At first, it was really just a place to gather and talk and ask some goddesses to replenish their powers, but soon most of them were going to participate in the ceremony.

"What, I don't have to refill it?

"It's okay. Rather than replenishing it."

According to Asura's explanation, the goddess who replenishes the orb is the goddess who lives in the shrine. If Kaisuke, the god of the present, replenishes it, it may be tied to this side if he succeeds.

I don't even know if such a thing really happens to Asla, but she even told me it was better not to touch it badly than it might.

When I heard the story, I stopped touching the orb.
