Let's Manage The Tower

(8) New protection?

Cecil and Alisa visited Lily Shrine on the eighth floor.

The current Yuriyuki Shrine is basically managed by Eli.

Saki and Miki have already been freed from slavery and have a family.

The reason why Eli stayed was because she didn't meet him, but the biggest reason was because she was somehow comfortable.

Of course, it is impossible for Eli to manage everything in the shrine alone.

Cecil and Alisa may come to help us as they are now, but they are busy working as teachers and writing books at the request of the Crown.

Then, who were they instead, the foxes who lived around the shrine.

Just a fox can't help Ellie, but humanized foxes do things like clean buildings while listening to Ellie.

The reward was Eri's cooking, so it was profitable for both.

By the way, Eli is sometimes called 'mother' by humanizable foxes, but he laughs and accepts it.

The three were having a relaxed conversation for the first time in a long time as the foxes were moving around.

Regardless, Cecil and Alisa are busy with each other and can't face each other every day as they used to.

It was my first holiday today, so I visited Yuriyuki Shrine.

In the presence of these three people, a study aid came to see how the foxes were doing.

"Oh, it's Cecil and Alisa. You're here."

"Mr. Kouske."

The three of them lowered their heads slowly and without haste, while showing their faces.

The sudden appearance of an examiner is quite normal here.

"What did you do today?

Ellie asked the examiner, who sat down in a mix of three.

"No, nothing in particular. If you insist, how long have you been here to see the foxes?

Really?

It is not uncommon for Kaiseki to visit Yuriyuki Shrine for these reasons, so Eli nodded honestly when she heard the reason.

"Isn't it unusual for Cecil and Alisa to be here?

At least it was more than six months ago that Kaiseki met the two of them at Yuriyuki Shrine.

Alisa shook her head as they looked at the words of the examiner.

"I still show my face once a month, but isn't it Mr. Kouske who is rather busy?

"Oh, is that so?

When the examiner looked at Eli with her head tilted, she nodded.

Kaosuke himself was not very conscious, but if he did say so, he went to the Gazenrun Tower, and he hasn't been around the tower much lately.

"Ah, if they say so, maybe so?

All three laughed bitterly at the aide to lean their necks.

I decided to talk to the three of them about what I had been worried about for a while.

"By the way, there's something I want to talk to you about, okay?

All of a sudden, the student assistant who came in flustered out of nowhere said such a thing, and the three of them had their eyes twitched.

It is strange that suddenly there is something to say to the three of us even though I only said that I have come here until now.

The three of them were confused by the words of the study assistant, who suddenly could only think of something.

And the examiner also leaned his neck inside.

I haven't even seen any signs until now, but when I saw him today, all of a sudden, three people saw it (...).

Speaking of which, it means that you can give three people the power to be the god of Kaiseki.

It is not protection, but the way it is said is because it feels like a force different from protection.

In the case of protection, I have already given it to you several times, so there is no mistake in looking at it.

But it feels like a different force, and I don't know what it is.

Looking at the confused faces of the three, Kaiseki decided to tell the truth.

"... so what do we do?

The three people who heard the explanation of the examiner looked at each other with a slightly surprising expression.

The three of them naturally know that Kaiseki is a living god.

That's why I've never been so afraid because Kaiseki wanted it.

Above all, if I can't work because of this, I will fall.

That's why I've been dating Kaiseki at a reasonable distance.

However, I am not dissatisfied with giving power from examinations.

You can't be a slave to someone like that forever.

I just wondered if I could give you that kind of power.

Alisa asked on behalf of those three.

"Um, would that be the protection of Mr. Kouske?

"Hmm, that's subtle."

"What do you mean?

In response, Alisa leaned her neck without knowing what it meant.

Having looked at Alisa and wondered what she had answered, Kaiseki nodded one thing and decided to call the Lord of the shrine now.

"Yuri, can I talk to you for a second?

"Yes, here."

Lili appeared in response to the call for assistance.

Incidentally, there is no time constraint on appearing in the shrine.

"I think I told you before that Yuri is made up of my powers."

The three of them nodded, with a naughty expression, to the examiner who deliberately summoned Lili and said such a thing.

From Yuri's origins to what kind of existence, the three people listened carefully from Kaiseki.

"In short, it's a relationship between me and Yuri to some extent, but I think if we give the three of us power now, we'll probably get something like this."

What Kaiseki expected was that the three of them would be deeply connected to Yuriyuki Shrine.

Suddenly, like Kaiseki, I don't think Yuriyuki Shrine can be transferred without any constraints, but I thought I could do something close to that.

The three people who heard the explanation of the assistant examiner showed their understanding in the explanation, and at the same time, they had puzzled expressions.

The explanation of the present study aid is an explanation of the power itself, not an explanation of whether or not to protect it.

However, I was able to understand this in the explanation of the next examination.

Well, I don't know if it's the protection I asked you earlier, but I don't really know.

However, I didn't know the answer.

"What do you mean?

Cecil and the others don't think of the all-powerful existence that Kaiseki knows everything about.

It's not that I see Kosuke as a god down there, but I understand that God is such a thing in the first place.

Cecil, who asked while tilting his neck, answered while nodding.

"I can clearly see that this is my only power, but I can't read the result because it's mixed with Yuri's natural power. All three of us have been associated with this shrine for a long time, so I think this is what happened."

So honestly answering the exam, the three of them looked at each other again.

There is no particular problem when it comes to empowering examiners.

I didn't think it had anything to do with this shrine.

Looking at the three people facing each other, the examiner leaned his neck and asked.

"That's the way it is, but what do we do? Well, I'm not in a hurry, but... ah, no, do you want an answer by today?

Perhaps in the future, there is no possibility that what is now visible will disappear.

However, as far as possible, I wanted the three of you to take this talk.

I don't mean to push you as a god, but I have a desire to see what kind of power you see right now.

Of course, I'll leave it up to them to take it or not.

Concerns about such examinations (?), they acknowledged that they would be empowered to study.

However, I immediately checked with the force of the left eye after applying the force, but nothing was displayed there.

In the end, they didn't know immediately, so the three of them stayed and watched for a while.
