Let's Manage The Tower

(14) New operation

A few days after we missed the artifact the second time, Utta contacted us to find out where the artifact was, but Floria and the others stopped exploring.

This is because we determined that if we hunt them down badly in the past, there is a risk of runaway, but there is also another reason.

I told Utta why, and she (?) and promised to continue to capture the artifact with pleasure.

I didn't give up collecting the artifacts.

The next time I was discussing what to do, I came up with the idea that I had an exam aid.

It was when I was talking about the second time that even if I chased down the artifact, I would be able to escape in the same way.

"So, what do we do? If you go to the artifact like this, you'll only escape with the same warning again?

In Florian's words, Shreyn and Sylvia looked at each other and shook their necks to the right and left.

Of course, Floria doesn't have the answer either.

The danger of getting run over if you're hunted down is the best shield for the artifact, beyond the lack of help to prevent it.

"I can't help it. At least we can't retrieve it unless we can help prevent a runaway."

"... I admit it, but I do."

Sylvia shook her neck to the left and right, and Shreyne sighed.

Had it not been for the last wanli, it might have caused a runaway without realizing it.

Given that, it can be said that there was no harm caused by the presence of a wanli.

However, there is no way to verify whether there was really a runaway in the first place.

You can't ignore a warning and force it to retrieve it, given that you get caught in a runaway, get hurt a lot, and you'll never see each other again if you don't.

To be honest, I don't think Shreyne and the others are going to be killed by the runaway artifact, but I don't intend to let them do anything that would cause serious injury.

In an atmosphere where there was a feeling of clutter, the study aid spilled.

"Let's just leave it like this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"If only Kowske could get closer and understand the purpose of the artifact."

"Want to go again? It might have happened the first time."

The idea of a study aid with a single hope was quickly recognized by the female team, and they shook their necks to the left and right at once.

Even though I didn't know if the tribe would come, the artifact had deliberately prepared a trap from the beginning.

It would be too optimistic to think that there is no such thing the next time you go.

Seeing the four of them silent, including the examiner, Kouchi spoke out unusually.

"... shall I leave?

The unusual words surprised Shreyne, Sylvia, and Floria.

It is almost impossible for Kouchi to suggest that he move on his own with these things.

However, the examiner shook his neck to the left and right without surprise.

The first time I studied, I was somewhat expecting Kouchi to say so.

"I can't. Even if Kouhi forcibly retrieves it, there's trouble afterwards."

"Yes, sir."

When the examiner refused, Kouhi nodded as convinced and retreated slightly back.

Kouchi thought that he could leave if the examiner admitted it, but he didn't want to leave until he pushed the idea of the examiner.

For Kouhi only, the idea of study aid is the best.

Though completely silent, Kaiseki picked up the words that Sylvia mumbled with nothing.

"If you can't retrieve it, you just need to be able to capture it wherever it is."

It would be nice to stay in the forest of Seuri now, but it is not necessarily necessary for the artifact to leave the forest in order to achieve its purpose in the future.

When that happens, I wish I had the means to capture the artifact at all times.

Sylvia thought so and said, but when she heard the line, she thought of something.

"Capture where it is... Well, maybe we can handle that."

"Can you handle it?

I haven't even been able to touch the artifact so far.

Floria wondered if it was possible to put the artifact in a state of capture all the time.

In contrast, the examiner nodded clearly.

"I can. Rather, it is better to clarify the current unstable state, so there is a way to do it. Because..."

As for the examiners who spoke in advance, they turned their previous expressions into bright expressions.

The proposal for the study was not to be able to recover the artifact immediately, but it was nevertheless to improve the current situation somewhat.

The third artifact capture operation showed a different appearance.

Because, in the first place, I didn't come here to retrieve the artifacts.

Shreyne and the others were waiting in quadrants to achieve their "purpose", surrounding the instruments of God.

It's not dangerous to split up one by one in the woods where the monsters are coming out, but this time it was not just Shreyne and the others who helped him.

While Shreyne and the others were doing some tricks, the elves were responsible for protecting them from the monsters.

Fortunately, after Shreyne and the others split in four directions, everything was ready without being attacked by monsters.

All that was left was to activate the trick before the artifact could escape.

"Wanli, Sylvia, Floria, are you ready?

Yeah, it's okay.

It's okay.

Ah, that's good.

When Shreyne checked in on the mystical tale, each one replied.

Afterwards, I checked again the state of the wolf in Shreyn's possession, but as before, he lay down at the foot of a tree without seeing what he noticed.

After confirming that, Shreyne decided it was okay to proceed and gave instructions to the three people waiting in a different direction.

Okay, so we're on schedule.

After picking up the signal from Shreyn, a group of women scattered in four places started to move.

When Shreyn activated the tools that he had kept from the examiner, almost at the same time, the pillars of light stood up from each place for a moment.

For a moment, the wolf showed the movement that it had noticed, but it was already too late.

The light that rose in four places gathered in one place in the sky, and fell to the place where the wolf was, precisely, the instrument of God.

And the instruments of God were not averted, and the light fell upon the wolf.

Even so, the light is not for attacking, but for applying some tricks made by Kaiseki to the artifact.

However, he was a wolf who had been wandering around for a while, but he decided that he couldn't be there, and eventually left.

Shreyne and the others, gathered in the opposite direction of the wolf's departure, stood ready for the success of the operation.

Now, will you wait for the results of the examination?

Shreyne and Sylvia nodded to confirm Floria.

However, it seemed that the light had arrived precisely under the instruments of God, so Shreyne and the others did not believe that they had failed at this point.

It has never been a failure with a tool made by an examiner.

That's why Schlein and the others thought it would be a success this time.
