Let's Manage The Tower

(23) Disclosure?

Among the three temples in Mixen, the priests were gathered in the hall in Jamil Temple.

The hall is not open to the public, but is usually used by priests and witches as a training ground.

There, not only ordinary witches and priests, but also temple chiefs and other positions were gathered.

They were waiting for what would start now or now.

And it was Adelmo in the middle of the room who was gathering their gaze all around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look. This is a genuine artifact that has not been discovered in a long time!

So the gaze of those gathered gathered in the mirror that Adelmo showed.

Some of them said, "Ooh."

Adelmo, who was satisfied with the reaction, took another tool out of her pocket.

"Now, let me prove to you that this is a divine instrument!

The tools Adelmo took out are used to prove that the object's tools are divine instruments.

If you look at a qualified person, you can see that it is a divine instrument made based on divine power, but it is made for those who do not have such power.

In a sense, the temple was a necessity in managing the instruments of God.

It was Adelmo who used his exhilaration and his tools toward the water mirror, but his expression changed at the next moment.

"... that?

Originally, if the tool in front of me was a divine instrument, the little crystal at hand would glow blue, but it doesn't show any reaction.

I tried to start it again in a hurry and wondered if I had misused it, but it didn't react at all.

"Eh, why? That's stupid!?

Fortunately, he whispered so that no one would hear the tweet, but everyone knew Adelmo was in a hurry.

"What's the matter?

One of the high priests said so, but Adelmo couldn't answer the question.

I gave up confirming with tools and decided to do it myself.

However, no matter how many times I checked, the reaction that was supposed to happen never came back.

When I saw this mirror before, there was definitely no reaction to it as a divine instrument.

"Nah, why!?

Adelmo said that with a dazed expression, but nobody here could answer the question.

When the people gathered together in the middle of the hall to expose Adelmo to disgrace began to numb out.

One of the three priests of the temple made a statement.

"It's about time you gave up.

It was Laurel, the head of the temple at Elizabeth Meal.

Laurel is already quite an old man in this world, but he is still alive and in charge of the shrine as its head.

"No, it can't be! The mirror is definitely real... ah! That little girl did the trick! I'll get it right away, so please wait..."

"Let's cut it out!

On Laurel's drink, Adelmo shook his body, and the other two temple chiefs looked distracted.

"Lord Laurel?

"Do you know anything about this?

That's how they looked at Laurel and wondered if he knew what was going on.

As they nodded with their gaze, Laurel took something out of the package that was sitting next to the chair.

"Ah...!

Adelmo shouted with a feeling of inadvertence when she saw the removed object.

Of course, not only the other two temple chiefs, but also those who looked around showed surprise.

Laurel's mirror was similar to the one Adelmo used to say was a divine instrument.

"I heard from the owner of this mirror, what the hell are you doing?

"Lord Laurel?

Laurel's words were echoed by the head of the temple of Jamil, who sat next to him.

The asked Adelmo was distorting his face.

"It's still good to collect tools that are considered to be divine tools by taking them. Because that's what keeps the artifacts from running wild. But what the hell is it like to use the rules to prevent a runaway and make a noise that is likely to cause a runaway!

Laurel sipped, and the gatherings shrugged their shoulders, but Adelmo shook his neck to the side.

"I don't know what the temple chief heard, but something seems to be wrong."

"Huh? Misunderstandings?

That's right.

"The result is that you brought personal things by mistake with the artifacts you were supposed to bring."

Adelmo stuck the word "gu" in Laurel's stupid words.

Because it is clear that the water mirror beside Adelmo is not a divine instrument.

Laurel's conversation with Adelmo somehow made her realize the situation, and the remaining two temple chiefs also turned their gaze toward Adelmo as if they were stunned.

"More than that! You are the artifact that should be kept in the temple! In the vault of Jamil Shrine..."

"I don't need it"

Laurel threw away Adelmo, who was just trying to assert his ideas here.

Yes?

"This artifact is supposed to be given back where it should already be. I'm just keeping it for now."

"Yes, but!

Laurel was still grinding down Adelmo, who was still trying to argue.

"What? Are you going to give me an opinion? If you have a good reason, tell me."

It was Adelmo who was stuck in Laurel's words, but he saw Laurel with light in his eyes.

It was a divine instrument that I tried to acquire until I betrayed Benito and used the means of takeover.

I can't give up like this.

With that in mind, an appropriate excuse came out of Adelmo's mouth.

"When I went to pick up the artifact, it was definitely there. That means my opinion with a permit should be more valid. Therefore, even if you claim ownership later, it will be void."

Laurel raised her shoulders and eyebrows to the words of Adelmo.

"Huh? You think they're just trying to justify you?

"Of course!

The Adelmo's words were eloquent because Laurel was not there.

All the other priests who were in the reception room were connected to themselves.

Because I was convinced that I would not say anything extra, I took the temple leader as my opponent and I was in a strong attitude.

Unfortunately, Adelmo was completely out of his mind about the people who were there.

Even if they call me later, I don't doubt that my opinion will prevail over that of the priest who belongs to the temple.

Laurel smiled a little as she saw Adelmo coming out of her nerves.

A little anxiety lit up in Adelmo's chest, but he didn't turn away.

Laurel, who had lost sight of Adelmo, saw a door leading to the back.

"... that's right."

A witch appeared from the door to match the words.

The reaction around that time was divided into surprise and curiosity.

The former was surprised to know who the witch was, and the latter was puzzled to see her for the first time.

Incidentally, Adelmo was the former, but this is because she was a witch she saw the other day when she took it, and she wondered why she was here.

Things are completely different from the others.

Those who were surprised were those who knew the witch Sylvia well.

Of course, it was because I saw myself advising Floria, the queen of Lazeqamamia, as a witch of the gods of the living.
