Let's Manage The Tower

(5) Ability to interact with spirits

"Hmm. Maybe there's something wrong with the woods. The monster...?

Having heard the explanation for delaying his departure from Colette, Floria asked Colette that.

However, Colette understood the meaning of Florian's query and shook her neck to the left and right.

"That's not true. If there are signs of flooding, we'll know soon enough."

"Is that so? I didn't see that sign either."

She agreed with Colette that she was watching the forest in the same place.

If there are signs of a flood, Shreyne will know as much as she wants.

Even if we don't know what caused the flood, we know that the monsters will be active before it does.

At least I didn't see anything like that.

On the contrary, it was quiet enough to say that the monster's activities made it an active forest on the Central Continent compared to other continents.

I knew it wasn't a sign of flooding, so I stroked my chest down, but of course I wasn't easily distracted.

I don't know what caused the spiritual anomaly that the children found.

It is possible that the spirits are feeling something even though it is not yet a sign that people can be found.

Flooding can happen at any time, so even if you can't see the signs right now, you can't be completely relieved.

Based on this, Colette continued.

"There are many reasons why spirits get noisy in the first place. For us, even if we don't have other love, it can be that way."

"Really?

I continued to explain further to the assistant who leaned his neck on his explanation.

"That's right. I don't normally try to look at spirits with energy because they happen quite often."

For example, what is nothing for humans and elves can be difficult for spirits.

It's a little environmental change, something different happens, and for a variety of reasons.

Colette doesn't dare to take a deep look at spirits because spirits can make dangerous changes.

After hearing Colette's story, the examiner nodded convincingly and looked at the self-propelled carriage where the children were.

"It's one of the things I can be relieved of in the present situation, but it's troublesome when I think about the kids."

From Colette's explanation, Seya and Shea will always be visible until the Spirit warns them that they don't normally care.

However, the warnings of the spirits can be real warnings, so they cannot be completely ignored.

The world that Seya and Shea are seeing is something they've been born with, so it's impossible to turn it on and off like Colette.

"... that's right. But maybe there's a difference between strong warnings and warnings like this, so we should be able to distinguish them."

"Can you do that?

"If you don't, you'll have to be scared of the Spirit's warnings forever. And... oh, should I ask Essena to talk to the spirits?

Colette, who started talking to herself halfway through, asks with her head tilted.

"You can talk to spirits, even Colette and Shreyne, right?

Colette and Shreyne usually get various information from spirits.

It was a question of thinking that the children would be the same, but Colette shook her neck to the left and right.

Even the Spirits have a difference in power. The words of a powerful Spirit seem to be heard without both of you doing anything, but not even a weak Spirit. It's just like there's an audible difference between me and Shrain. "

Depending on the compatibility with the Spirit and the difference in abilities, the contents of the story that can be heard from the Spirit will differ.

Likewise, the spirits who are causing the anomalies seen in the forest this time are weak, so it takes a lot of power to listen to the story properly.

I see.... Does that mean you're going to need a lot of training?

Well, I guess so.

Colette nodded with a bitter smile.

Even Colette, the witch of the World Tree (Essena), is a spiritual group that cannot be seen without considerable concentration.

It is obvious that considerable training will be required to be able to hear from those spirits.

Seya and Shea, who are naturally visible to them, may well learn.

The same goes for Mick, but how he develops his child's abilities will be entirely left to the parent's educational policy.

Of course, there is the idea that growers grow on their own without extra interference.

However, that is because there is a certain amount of environment.

A parent who is closest to a child is no good reason to abandon it.

If we do not properly grasp the abilities of our children and properly educate them, we will only have unfortunate consequences for both.

As a result of our discussions, we decided to camp at our current location tonight.

Colette said that if it was half a day, I would know to some extent, so I decided to wait overnight.

What's more, even if you wait half a day now or start moving from there, it's late at night to get to the next town.

If that's the case, it's better not to move badly.

They all came to the unanimous conclusion.

It has become an unscheduled camp, but I am prepared to do so at any time.

The children also seemed completely accustomed to camping and were preparing for the camp as instructed by the adults.

At that time, Seyyah and Shia would love to go to the Spirit, who showed weirdness.

I followed Colette with me this time.

"How was it?

The examiner asks Colette when she returns.

The subject is missing, but you don't have to dare say it.

Colette shook her neck to the side for such an examination.

"... I haven't changed."

I see. Was it correct that you decided to stay up all night?

Colette nodded back to the assistant who bent her neck with her arms together.

Yes, it is.

In time, not half a day has passed since I first saw it, but the Spirit continues to make noise for quite some time.

Enough time to think maybe something's really going on.

Of course, it's still too early to come to a conclusion, so I decided to keep watching the situation in the future.

Naturally, when camping, we finish dinner before the sun sets.

You can't eat under the moonlight, but it's dangerous for the children.

Children who finished eating before the sun set enter the self-propelled carriage and it becomes bedtime as the sun sets because they do not have to take such a risk.

After the children were completely rested, Colette went back to the point of the example, accompanied by Shreyne and Mitsuki, who had good night vision.

And Colette, who came back to the camp, reported that the situation had not changed during the day.

If it's just this long, there's a problem with leaving things as they always are.

I went to check again in the morning and decided what to do in the future.
