Let's Manage The Tower

Kuro, who was picked up by Kaiseki from the tower hierarchy, was not nostalgic to others at first, but it was considerably improved from the initial state thanks to good discipline.

However, even though I somewhat miss it, it doesn't mean that it will be as sweet as an exam aid.

It's just that I stopped moaning and intimidating when I got close.

Strongly speaking, they recognize it as a presence that feeds when there is no study aid.

Someone has to take care of Kuro if he leaves management for quite a while, as he did when he was exploring the artifact.

It would be fine if there were kouhi, but there are many times when that is not possible.

Then, inevitably, Black is fed by one of the members who is not going out with him.

In addition, it is only Mia who frequently enters and leaves management and does not accompany her on study visits (or trips).

As a result, it was Colette who nodded faster, but nostalgia (?) Speaking of which, it should have been Mia that followed Kouhi and Mitsuki.

Mia, who came to feed Kuro instead of the examiner who was away on a little errand, looked stunned and saw the sight in front of her.

Lik, her brother, was screaming in front of her.

"Ugh, wow! Hold on a sec!... Ah, sister! Please don't look at me. Help me!

Unexpectedly, Mia turned to Rick for help with the food she was supposed to give Kuro.

"I think it's better to stay there for a while.

"Is that such a killing!?

Kuro, who had already grown up to be an adult, raised his voice like a scream from above.

Lik and Kuro didn't meet for the first time.

However, when I came here before, it didn't grow so far and I didn't miss it.

Mia, who had somehow anticipated it, didn't think it would end up like this with her feed backed up.

Besides, I put aside myself who made efforts to be somehow nostalgic.

How much would you like to give back to Lick (?) It was Mia thinking about black things, whether she could do it or not.

After waiting for Kuro to calm down, Lik finally managed to escape and washed his face, which had been licked by the crowd.

In the meantime, Kuro was eating the meal Mia brought.

When there is an assistant, they may take him/her to the appropriate level to hunt, but if not, they provide him/her with prepared meat.

As Mia watched Kuro eat, she dropped the whiskey and refreshed herself.

When he realized this, Kuro turned his face for a moment, but it seemed that he couldn't beat the temptation of meat, so he immediately turned back.

"Still, you look so nostalgic. Maybe you're better than your father.

Mia said that with a little jealousy, but Lik shook her neck to the side of the word.

"No, that's not true. I'm just perceived as a playmate. In my father's case, I don't think I should disobey him."

Oh, yeah.

Mia opened her eyes to Rik's unexpected response.

"What the hell is that face?"

"No, I just thought you were looking into monsters."

Mia knows that Lik is not going to do it as Tamer.

However, Lik's answer now was that he didn't know much about monsters.

Moreover, I had analyzed the current situation of Kuro and replied.

Mia didn't think that Lik, who was obsessed with becoming an adventurer, would go all the way to Tamer.

Suddenly Lick turned to Mia's dialogue.

"My father..."

Huh?

"My father scolded me a long time ago. What's your goal?"

Hearing Lik's words, Mia rounded her eyes.

"Father!? What the hell did you do!?

Essentially, it is not uncommon to scold children for a modest exam.

Mia was scolded so long ago that she had to find her memory.

At least not since I was an adult.

"When my father complained about being missed by a wild monster, he suddenly yelled at me."

Lik was the same as Mia, and he had little recollection of being scolded by the examiner.

That's why I was surprised before I rebelled when I saw the study aid I was seriously scolding.

In addition, I became serious about listening to the words of the assistant who had been preaching that I could not become.

After hearing Lik's story, Mia looked convinced.

"Hmm. I see. I thought something happened because the stubborn Lik had mutated, but I didn't think my father scolded me."

After seeing Mia's face, Lik looked like he was teasing.

"What is it? Do you want to be scolded by your father?

"No way, that's not true. I just kind of thought I was jealous."

It was Lik who thought in his heart what was different, but he didn't say such a rough thing.

Instead, I said something else.

"That's better. I don't want to experience being scolded by my father again if I can."

Mia glanced at Lik with a feeling of being too real.

"... were you so scared?

"I'm scared... I wonder what that is. Sure, I'm scared, but..."

Once the words were cut off, Lik closed his eyes to remember the time.

"Somehow... yes. I felt guilty if I didn't do what my father said."

Of course, there was an atmosphere of anger, but I felt sorry for not listening to anything more.

It feels strange to actually use words, but there's nothing I can do about it, because at least Lik felt that way.

"Guilt?"

"Yeah, but that's the impression I felt. My brother may have had another emotion."

"Eh? Oniisama?

When I saw Mia with a face that I didn't know why Towa's name appeared here, I saw that Lik had disappeared.

"Ah, did I say something extra? Well, would it be okay if you were my older sister? Do you think my brother might have been scolded by my father? Since you're an adult."

When Lik talked about being scolded by Towa before, he had an unspeakable expression.

Having only spent time with him since he was a little girl, Lik noticed a subtle change in his brother that no one else noticed.

Mia, who heard that Towa had also been scolded by Kaiseki, had a complicated face.

"What is this alienation?"

"Ha ha ha. Well, maybe my father scolded us because we're men. Don't you ever get scolded again?

I didn't know when I was little, and when I was my age, I would do less of what my parents would scold me for.

Lik didn't ask why Towa was scolded, but at least as far as I'm concerned, about the future.

Lik thinks he won't get scolded if he walks on a solid path ahead.

"Well, as I said earlier, you don't have to scold me if you like. It's not like my father is alienating my older sister."

That's true, too.

As Mia, I'm not going to get scolded for following Lick's words.

Rather, I'd be glad to have you as my kind father now.

It was almost at the same time that Mia came to a conclusion in her heart, and Kuro, who had read the atmosphere or finished eating, approached.
