Let's Manage The Tower
(15) Diviner's Tools
While Shreyne and the others were discussing.
Kaiseki, who was watching the tower, was visiting the aunt in the succubus at the end.
I didn't want you to do fortunetelling this time, but I wanted to ask you about fortunetellers.
"I wonder what happened, Kouske. Do you think the results of divination will remain the same?
"No, not today, I was going to ask you about the fortuneteller."
"Huh? With the fortuneteller?
The aunt looked surprised because she said something she had never thought of.
"Yeah, about the fortuneteller, or the tools that fortunetellers use."
"Ho-ho, is that so?"
The aunt finally realized what Kaiseki wanted to say and nodded with a small smile.
Even though it is a fortuneteller, it is a person who does it, so its character is very different.
There's no way you can talk alone.
That's why my grandmother was confused at first, except that it was a tool used by fortunetellers.
Typical items include cards, but there are a variety of tools used for divination.
But what they have in common is that they are naturally used for 'fortune-telling'.
Not all of the tools could be talked about, but the aunt was confident that she could talk more than others.
In front of such an aunt, the examiner ran into a question that had come to mind while he was making tools.
"In the first place, what is a divination tool for a diviner?
Hearing the examiner's words, the aunt rounded her eyes.
I didn't expect to hear such a word from an examiner who wasn't a fortuneteller.
Still, an old lady with many apprentices.
I've been asked as many questions as I can.
However, the opponent is a real god known for making tools.
The old lady, who thought she couldn't answer bad things, replied after twisting her neck for a while.
"Hmm. It's a difficult question. (12) Do you mind if I think about it personally?
"Of course."
"The tool of fortune for fortunetellers is just to help fortunetellers."
In response to the very obvious aunt's answer, the examiner had a contemplative look.
"Help..."
"Ho-ho, you don't have to think so hard. If you are a god, you may be able to see everything with your own power. But in human beings, they just need the help of tools."
The old lady continued explaining to the examiner.
The essence of divination is to do it only with the power of the diviner.
The tool of fortune-telling is simply to put it out on the surface in an easy-to-understand way.
That's why the tools used by fortunetellers are vast and varied.
This is because different fortunetellers have different shapes that show their own power in the table.
The aunt explained that the tool for the fortuneteller was also to bring out his own power, and at the same time to show the customer that it was easy to understand.
When I heard these things from my aunt, I nodded greatly.
I see.
"Even if the fortuneteller simply confronts the customer and gives an answer, the customer is not convinced. So sometimes we use tools to convince our customers."
When the aunt said so, she imagined the fortuneteller communicating the content of fortunetelling in words without using anything.
"... it's certainly not convincing."
"Then what?
The aunt answered the words of the examiner and continued laughing.
"Well, anyway, I don't suppose there's a fortuneteller who can meet customers' demands without tools. Rather, if you do that, you will become called God, not a fortuneteller, but a prophet.
Well, that's true.
Certainly, if you can do that, it is not strange to be called God.
Rather, it would be stranger not to be called God.
I corrected the trajectory considering that the assistant talked so far was deviating from what I wanted to hear.
"So, for a fortuneteller, what is the only tool?
"In its original sense, it can't be. Even so, as I just said, the Diviner needs tools. Then of course, it's not strange to have a tool that is close to your own flesh and blood.
Is that what it is?
The aunt's words seem contradictory at first glance, but given her role as a fortuneteller, it is a natural answer.
"That's not what it is. And that's not what you want to hear, is it?
Well, yeah.
"I already know the answer, but if you mistake the power of the divine instrument for your own power in the first place, don't be a fortuneteller. Of course, it's compatible with tools, so I can't say anything."
That made my aunt think of something.
Of course, I'm thinking about the fortuneteller in this conversation.
The aunt has already heard that the fortuneteller has lost his artifact.
With that in mind, the examiner nodded.
"Well, maybe now is the right time."
Hmm...
Hearing the words of the examiner, the aunt put her hand on her chin and thought.
Auntie was listening from Peach about what Kaiseki was making at the management level.
It wasn't Peach talking on his own, but Kaiseki was talking to him to talk to him.
After thinking for a moment, the old lady eventually shook her neck to the left and right.
"No, you shouldn't."
In his denial, Kaiseki blinked his eyes.
"Why is that?
"Now, if you give me the tools you've made, it will be your escape to the tools. You can't rely on tools anymore."
The words of the aunt had weight as those who had raised many disciples for many years.
The examiner who heard that lowered his head to his aunt.
"It was too shallow. I'm sorry."
"Kaka, you don't have to apologize. As a mortal god, it doesn't matter if your waist is too low. Kowske"
That said, the aunt laughed, and the examiner could only return the bitter smile.

Discussions to convince the examiner included Peach and Mia.
The peach was forced to mix because Shreyn went to get it because it had to be added, and Mia seemed interesting in the meantime.
There was unanimous agreement that they would move instead of the study aids that could not be moved, but various opinions were expressed on what to do in order to convince the study aids.
During the discussion with Wye, Mia's words became decisive.
"What did Mothers decide to move for?
In Mia's words, everyone gathered shut their mouths.
I forgot the purpose in the first place as I made a lot of comments.
After all, seriously (?) The final draft was decided after the opinion was given.
"... so that's the plan?
Well, that's not what I meant.
When she returned to management, Shreyn nodded to her satisfaction when Kaiseki, who had been listened to by all the gathered women, asked her with her head tilted.
Other women are equally satisfied.
The examiner who confirmed it could only return a bitter smile.
I didn't realize that I couldn't move because of my position as a human god, but I certainly didn't think that if I was told.
In that case, I thought it would not be bad to get on with the idea that everyone had thought about.
Besides, my grandmother just denied what I was thinking.
There is a little resistance to leaving it to the women without moving, but seeing their motivated faces is rude on the contrary.
That kind of consideration eventually led to a go-ahead for the female team.
