Let's Manage The Tower

(4) Causes and encounters

The self-propelled carriage progressed with the sound of a chillin chillin chillin.

It has already exceeded three villages since it left the eastern city, but I still haven't encountered any monsters.

When we get here, it's impossible to just coincide.

Nevertheless, there was no way to know what the cause was, and the examiners were heading ahead on the street.

"... you don't think it's the wind chime, do you?

"That's exactly what it is. If it works so well, someone else should have noticed and used it."

It is, isn't it?

He nodded in harmony with Shreyn's words.

Looking around, other members nodded in the same way.

And Sylvia said with a contemplative face to supplement Shreyne's explanation.

"It's not possible that the magic amulet effect is becoming stronger due to Mr. Kouske's influence, but I don't feel that kind of power."

"Is that so? Neither do I."

The line that the monsters didn't come out because of the wind chime disappeared because the two people who were familiar with the matter of the amulet were unanimous.

Except for the wind chimes, there have been no notable changes.

For this reason, Florian sometimes wondered in a different sense as he looked at the aid that twisted his neck to see why he had not encountered monsters so far.

"Why do you care so much? It's not like we haven't met in a few days at all, is it?

No, it certainly is.

Travellers around the continent are lucky to happen once or twice a year.

It seems strange to Floria that she cared so much about it.

"Rather, should I care that Kouske doesn't care about seeing monsters?

It was a rough Florian word, but I soon understood what she wanted to say to Sylvia.

"Flooding?

What Florian is worried about is whether the aid is feeling the signs of flooding.

Because the power of Kaiseki as a living god feels the surrounding weirdness, so much (?) I am reacting.

Aware that everyone's eyes had gathered on me, the examiner immediately shaken his neck to the left and right, thinking only a little.

"No, that's not true.... no, right?

Floria sighed greatly at the study aid that leaned her neck without being able to assert.

"Shouldn't we check it out?

"Is that so? But it doesn't matter how far we look.

The streets of the Central Continent are located along the sea, so it's easy not to look on either side of the road, but if you look at everything, it's a huge area.

And even if we look inland, the time will vary depending on how far we look.

Above all, there was a reason why the current auxiliaries could not explore easily.

The same gaze gathered among the children for that reason, making the adults a difficult face.

I would prefer to refrain from letting children on the road suddenly behave in an irregular way.

Even if children are not directly involved in the exploration itself, I don't know whether it is good to stay in one place.

In addition, if you spend time exploring, your journey will be delayed by that much.

As she twisted her neck with a difficult face, she heard an unexpected voice.

"Shall I check it out?

Kouchi's words, excluding the study aid, surprised all of us when we tried not to leave the study aid from our daily routine.

But for the examiner, it's nothing surprising.

As you can see when thinking about the Twas, Kouchi is also paying attention to the children in school.

Not after a certain amount of growth, but at least as an infant, that tendency is strong.

With that in mind, it is not surprising that Kouhi offers to think about the Miku who are traveling together.

And while looking at Kouchi, who seems to be a little sorry, the examiner nodded immediately.

"That's right. Is that the surest thing? Can I ask you a favor?

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

With the permission of the examiner, Kouchi nodded strongly after laughing nicely.

About an hour after Kouhi went out to explore, he contacted Kaiseki about his divine powers.

Lord, are you sure?

"Yeah, I'm fine, but have you figured it out yet? It's early.

I was seriously surprised to learn that I didn't expect to get in touch with you so soon.

No, I'm sorry. I didn't find out about the flood, but I contacted you about something else. "

"Something else?

"Yes, actually..."

After that, I was satisfied with what was said.

Oh, that's right. In that case, I think it would be nice to go back, but... for now, could you continue your exploration for a while?

I was afraid.

I knew the reason why I didn't meet the monster, but as a precaution, I decided to continue my exploration and finished the conversation.

Did you realize that you were talking about divinity? When Kaiseki finished talking about divinity, Sylvia looked at it with anxiety.

"What do you know?

"Yeah, I guess so. If you know it, the answer is simple or somehow... Anyway, I think you'll find out if you go a little further."

The examiner who deliberately obscured the answers said that we should think about it ourselves and refrained from teaching the answers directly.

As I said, I know the answer lies ahead.

Then I thought it would be a good idea to spend some time.

The women who noticed the idea of examinations began to wonder what the cause was in each.

It was Floria who first noticed the answer, followed by Sylvia, Peach, Shrain and Colette.

After all, by the time I encountered the cause of not seeing the monster, everyone had answered, so I wasn't surprised.

However, this did not seem to be the case on the other side, and as the self-propelled carriage approached, I was alerted and called out.

"Oooh! That... carriage!? Stop!!"

It was Razek Amamiya's crusaders who raised their voices as they rode the horse.

Of course, it wasn't just one person who was there.

There is just a platoon of men in the right place to look at the carriage in a suitable space for camping.

Like seeing creepy things in a carriage that moves without horses, the eyes were still gathered in the carriage where the auxiliaries were riding, inspiring them to think that it was necessary as a member of the crusaders.

After noticing the gaze, Kaiseki murmured "failed" and searched the carriage's luggage yard to retrieve a piece of cloth.

"Hey! What are you doing!?

It would normally look suspicious if the assistant who showed his face once showed up and pulled him into the carriage to look for something.

As for the crusaders, they reacted correctly, but the subsequent behavior of the auxiliary was incomprehensible and surprising to the officers.

Surrounded by members of the army, he didn't seem particularly panicked and took out a piece of cloth.

Some of them tilted their necks without knowing what they meant.

Looking at the reaction around him, he was a member of the team who tried to question him further, but was forced to stop acting with the voice of another member of the team.

"Hey, wait!

"Hmm!? All right, Captain?

The crew looked back at you in surprise at the voice of the captain leading the current team.

And while attracting the attention of the crew, the man called Captain slowly approached the carriage in which the examiners were riding.
