Let's Manage The Tower

Sitting on the throne at Vamilinian Castle, Shreyne raised her eyebrows with her hands on her chin.

In front of her was a tin wand that she had recently received from Kaiseki.

Someone approached Shreyn like that and called out.

"What did you do with your eyebrows raised so much?

It's Zenet, who's close to Shreyn.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. I don't know how you used that cane."

"? Do you have this?

Zenet leans his neck without knowing what Shreyn meant.

The cane is basically used for some kind of ritual.

Very rarely, no one likes to use it as a strike weapon, but it is very rare.

With such a general understanding, Zenet leaned his neck because he didn't have to worry so much.

"... is it something so special to use?

Zenet asks if there is anything else that Schlein is worried about.

Shreyn shook her neck to the side with a bitter smile.

"No, that's not how it works."

Having said that, Shreyn began to explain the situation.

Zenet nodded convincingly, listening to Shreyn.

"... I see. Was that so?"

"Therefore, even if it is used in rituals, it is unclear whether it will properly exert its power as a tool. Besides, in the first place, I hardly ever used any tools other than tin canes in my usual rituals."

Vampires regularly perform rituals in the Castle of Vamilnia.

Certainly, there are some things Shreyn, who is ruling the castle, must do in the center.

In these rituals, Shreyn used no tools, but only spells and movements.

For this reason, even if you were suddenly told to perform a ritual using a tool, you wouldn't know if you could do it well.

These tools are usually used to help chant magic and spells, but they don't need to be used for Shreyne to do it.

It's because I'm good that I can do it, but this time it's out in the back.

Zenet shook her neck to the side of Shreyn's words.

"I can't help thinking about that. Why don't you try it first? As far as I've heard, just because it didn't suit me doesn't mean something big is going to happen."

"... is that so? Is that the best?"

"And you don't have to keep holding your cane. Why don't you start with a ritual that's easy to follow?

Schlein is the lord of the Vamilinian Castle and performs many rituals on his own.

It was Zenet's opinion that it was better to use it first for ceremonies where multiple people gathered rather than using it suddenly from such ceremonies.

"I see. I'm sure that's better.... just tell everybody about it."

As for Shreyne, it was a word he was going to follow thinking about when he failed, but when he heard it Zenette said with a fuzzy smile.

"When I hear that, I feel like I'm supposed to fail?

"... I'm not gonna do that."

Provocative (?) In the words of Zenet, Shreyn had a faint expression.

A few days later.

There were representatives of the vampires gathered in one of the rooms of the Vamilinian Castle.

Once a month, we perform rituals to maintain the Vamilinian Castle, but we are prepared to perform them.

There are a growing number of vampires who can't be part of the family, but it's the Vamilenians, Tallegas, and Prosts who will take part in the ceremony.

Since we cannot have all the vampires in the room where we perform the ritual, we will inevitably gather those who were the Lord.

You don't have to be a stationary member to perform the ritual, but there are talented people for the important ritual for the Vamilinian Castle.

I thought it would be nice to perform the ritual for the first time with a tin cane, but the timing was just right.

There is no doubt that Schlein's failure alone will not lead to a major accident.

This ritual is not a pull-out ritual, but a collaborative one.

Participants were also informed that Shreyn would perform the ritual using a tin staff in advance.

A dozen participants glanced at Shreyn's cane with interest, but Ines of the Prost family showed the greatest reaction.

I've only lived for a long time, and I don't usually change my expression very much, but at that time, I changed my expression greatly and showed surprise.

"... Lord Ines?

Shreyn tilted her neck to the reaction, but Inez once compared Shreyn to the cane and then shook her neck to the left and right.

"No, what? I was surprised at the unusual shape."

Oh, I see.

A bite of a tin cane can come in many shapes.

Basically there are rings at the tip of the stick with multiple rings, but they can be decorative rings or stick parts with weapons hidden like sticks.

Shreyn's cane has a larger, more luxurious decorative ring than the regular one.

Besides that, there are various other luxurious decorations, so it would be unusual for a cane with many simple shapes.

"Kowske, who made this, said it just turned out that way,"

I see. This one was made. "

Inez nodded convincingly in Shreyn's explanation.

It is always the case that Inez treats the study aid very carefully.

For this reason, Shreyn did not have any particular doubts, but proceeded to prepare for the ceremony.

This ritual is a ritual that gathers the power of the gathered people and divides it into castles.

All of them cast a single curse while devoting their magic to the spell in the middle of the room.

Now that the members gathered have already performed the same ritual many times, the ritual proceeds in a familiar manner.

In the meantime, Shreyn, who was attending the ceremony with a tin wand, was deeply surprised.

I'm sending magic through my wand, but it's consumed less than ever before.

Of course, I know that it will be easier to use such tools, and some of the participants actually use them.

However, I didn't really feel the effect of Schlein, so I haven't used it till now.

However, with regard to this cane, the recognition was blown away in one shot.

(Somehow... that's Kowske or something.)

It can be said that you only understand yourself, so you can somehow feel the appearance, but the feeling of being happy is getting stronger and stronger.

With such overwhelming emotions, Shreyne was able to finish the ritual more easily than usual.

After the ceremony.

On his way home, Inés remembered the scepter Shreyn had.

"No, I didn't think you were going to see it here right now."

Unexpectedly, he murmured, but fortunately there was no one beside him to hear it.

And that's why I'm talking to you with confidence.

"But I wonder if he and the Lord will realize that a little further."

While saying that, Inez smiled happily.
