Let's Manage The Tower

(12) Performance of the Spirit

And Shreyn, who returned to the village of Elf, went to Uttah, and reported his failure, and returned to the tower of Amamiah.

In the meantime, Wanli remained a fox and didn't give any detailed reasons for the incident.

Shreyne and the others thought they might have something to say to the examiner and dared not ask Wanri for more details.

Arriving at the management level, Shreyne immediately told the auxiliary that he had failed to retrieve the artifact.

Hmm. I see.

That's just what the examiner said, and he won't say anything about failure in particular.

Rather, it is more important to know under what circumstances you failed.

"So how did you get away this time?

"Hmm. Should I ask Wanri more about that?"

"Wanri?

Without knowing why the wanli came out here, the examiner leans his neck and looks at the wanli.

Wanri, who had returned to the human form, shrugged his shoulders slightly under his gaze.

Seeing a wander that was completely flaccid, Shreyne smiled small enough to reassure her.

"You didn't have to be so afraid, did you? Just tell me what happened, and I'll tell you what happened."

"... yes."

The examiner who heard the conversation between the two did not try to talk to him because he felt that something had happened.

I decided to wait for Wanri to talk to me.

In the eyes of the examiner, Wanli began to talk about the time when Wanli hunted down the rattles and the artifacts.

Wanri, who is originally a fox, is not so good at talking.

However, since the other three followed the conversation well, Kaiseki was able to imagine a situation where he would hunt down the artifact without being particularly confused.

And when Wanli finally came to stop Floria, Wanli stopped talking once.

"... Wanli?"

Looking at Wanli with his troublesome expression, he leaned his neck to wonder what happened to the exam aid.

As far as Kaiseki's face was concerned, it seemed better not to want to talk, but not to know how to talk.

"You don't have to try to speak well, so if you feel something, just say it, and speak it in words."

When opposed to the artifact, Wanli was a fox figure.

In that case, it is mostly the senses that act rather than words or reason.

For this reason, Wanri is not accustomed to talking in words about the meaning of his actions at that time.

Wanri, who was prompted by the examiner, spoke with a face that reminded him of that time.

"When Florian's sister tried to attack with her sword, I felt something strange."

"Feeling weird?

"Yeah. Is there something wrong with attacking like that... something that might happen...?

Do you think it's strange that I said it myself? Wanli's expression is still very disturbing.

The three people who were on the scene at that time looked at each other and confirmed that they felt nothing in particular.

The examiner who was watching each reaction heard more about it after a moment of reflection.

"Did that strange feeling come from the Spirit? Or something else? What about your own thoughts?

The question of the examiner was something that Wanri did not expect, and she blinked her eyes unexpectedly.

When I look at that face, I can see that I've been thinking hard about what that feeling has been, and I haven't thought about what I've been telling you.

I began to remember that time with a serious expression, but the answer came out quickly.

"Spirit... yeah. I felt something from the Spirit."

"Spirit."

After seeing Wanri's face, Kaiseki stopped confirming it once more.

I definitely felt that the Spirit had informed Wanri of something.

Now that I can deduce a lot from the situation, I don't need to question you yet.

Study aide, who was thinking in arms, turned his eyes to Shreyne and the others.

"You didn't feel anything, did you, Shreyn?

"Hmm. I didn't feel anything."

"Me too."

Same thing.

Well, that's right.

The examiner nodded to the three of them as expected.

If Wanli felt something from the Spirit, it would be natural for three people who were not so sensitive to the Spirit to feel nothing.

Shreyn is also known to some spirits, but when she doesn't feel anything, it turns out that it was really a small change.

"So, are there two things I can think of so far?

"What do you mean?

As Florian confirms, Kaiseki talks about the ideas that are in his mind now.

"One was that the spirits around you felt something and let Wanri know, and the other was that the artifact wanted to let Wanri know something using the spirits."

Given the situation, Florian was right, but I soon realized that the words of the assistant were crazy.

"You wanted to know? Isn't that a warning or something?

"Yes, just warn them before the battle begins."

"Oh, I see. That's right."

What Wanri felt was in the middle of the battle.

If the talisman wanted to use the Spirit to warn Wanri, use the Spirit to warn him before the battle begins.

Of course, if they told me that the fighting had suddenly begun and that they could not afford to do so, they should have been able to tell him at least as soon as Wanli was on his way.

In that case, it is believed that there was a reason why he did not inform us until he was pushed into a situation.

This is, of course, one of the two cases presented by the examiner.

It is also possible that another Spirit wanted to tell Wanri something independently.

"In the case of spirits, it seems that I sensed that the artifact was about to do something and informed in advance..."

"Is there something wrong?

"No, in the first place, I thought the Spirit would do that on purpose."

In the first place, spirits seldom do anything on their own, and naturally exist in the stream.

If Kaiseki was right, the Spirit would have moved and informed Wanri himself.

Shreyn also had a difficult face and became woomen.

"Sure, it's hard to think inside. No, if you're dealing with a wanli, maybe it's possible."

It may also be that Wanli's title inspired the Spirit.

I nodded to agree with Shreyn's conjecture.

"Yeah, I think so... but I can't prove it. I'm talking about spirits."

Those gathered here are not so familiar with spirits.

"So I'm going to talk to Colette, but do you have any objections?

Colette is still the most knowledgeable about spirits.

It was only natural that the examiner should say so.

Of course, there could be no objection to the study aid's words, and the study aid suddenly went to see Colette.
