Let's Manage The Tower

(11) Growth of children?

The day after I found the second place emitting the warning color of the Spirit.

Colette, who went to check quickly, came back just before the examiners had finished preparing their breakfast.

And the aperture is the most,

"You were right."

"Hmm, I knew it. Does that mean we're still on schedule?

Yeah, that's good.

We discussed last night what to do if the spirits already reacted the same way.

As you can see at first sight, it does not have a strange effect on the surrounding monsters, so it is sufficient for Colette and Kouhi to remain in this location, so the rest of the members will continue their journey.

"Yes. So, I guess I'll say hello?

"I'm on it!

Colette also deliberately slapped her chest in response to the study aid that she said was light.

The only way Colette and Kouchi can stay here is to see if the same thing happens at first sight.

It's not that much trouble.

Conversely, it would be troublesome if the spirits showed a completely different appearance from the first place.

Although Colette's valve said that such a thing would not happen.

Anyway, Colette and Kouchi will camp here for at least one night to observe the spirits.

I still don't know what the outcome will be, but at least Colette seemed confident that it would be the same.

Having finished breakfast and about to leave, a little happiness happened.

Seya and Shea were fooled when they heard that they were going on another journey with Colette.

It was selfish as a child, but it didn't last long.

Anyway, in addition to the two who are raising children, have you already (first time?) There are two people who have finished raising their children.

These things were not only palatable, but they were quickly forgiven.

Along the way, Colette forgave having said selfish things and promised not to take her on a trip, but of course, Colette didn't mean it.

After all, if the kids pull up on their journey, Colette will have to come back.

If you do so, you will not be able to investigate the Spirit.

After all, the children were honestly forgiven, so it didn't have to be that way.

Anyway, although the rare event occurred, the journey of the examiners could proceed as planned.

That night.

The assistant who entered the next village on schedule received a report from Colette.

"... you can't expect it after all?

I see. Well, it would be more troublesome if you came this far and showed a different reaction. "

If the spirits react differently, further investigation is needed.

As Colette, I wanted to meet the kids as soon as possible.

Of course, if the spirits behaved strangely, I was looking at conducting an investigation for a long time, but I was worried about it.

The auxiliary student, who was relieved by the same thing as Colette, decided to speak honestly about it.

I see. I'm glad to hear that.

Oh, were you foolish after all?

"Hmm. No, I tried not to show it to the front, but did I feel lonely?

Neither Seyya nor Shea said anything out of their mouths because they said that they would return to the village if they were selfish, but they still looked lonely.

Everyone was aware of that, but they continued to pretend not to.

I think it's a good opportunity to teach the kids that there's more to be done than Colette can come back.

Colette also smiled bitterly as if the children's condition came to her attention.

Well, I miss you, too. I can't help it.

Oh, it's unusual.

Colette replied instantly when the examiner said that he thought it was unlikely that he would throw up a weak voice.

Oh, I want to spend time with Kowske too.

Isn't that with the kids?

Of course that's true. But the children will eventually get away from me. I'll always be with you, Kouske. "

Colette told me something very interesting about the exam and somehow it illuminated me.

Well, yes, but... are you sure you want to stay with me forever?

"Why is it so questionable?"

Colette, who returned it with a smile, also smiled a little.

Of course, perhaps there is hidden light.

While interfering with such personal exchanges, the topic returned to the state of the Spirit.

"Anyway, I think I can meet you there tomorrow at noon."

"It's not morning, it's lunch."

The examiner said that because he thought it would be enough to check it once in the morning.

That's what I was going to do. I thought it would be better to see how things were going. "

Did you find any difference?

It's not like that. It's really just a precaution. "

I see. Well, I'll leave it up to you. "

Colette's tone seemed to be light, so the examiner decided whether it was actually true.

I don't know where to look and judge when I can't see the Spirit.

In my previous experience, I have been impressed with the idea that I should leave it to Colette.

If Colette thought it would be better to wait until noon, it would be good to follow it.

Furthermore, we know that Colette's decision to stay until noon is related not only to the Spirit but also to the children.

I dare to stay away for a long time and get used to it.

I didn't have to say rough treatment, but I knew it would be necessary, so I dared not say anything.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

In the end, Colette came back at noon the next day, as I told her about the exam.

As a result, the second place was stable with the power of the Spirits' presence increased, just like the first place.

Furthermore, unlike last time, it seems that the number of spirits itself has not increased much.

I felt that the power of the Spirit was increasing, only because the power of existence had increased.

Colette doesn't know what kind of change Spirit activation will bring to the forest, but at least he knows it won't be a bad change.

In the first place, elves are trying to keep the forest alive by activating the spirits that live in the forest.

From that point of view, Colette was not mistaken in deciding that there was nothing wrong with this case.

After Colette returned, Seya and Shea were well and the journey went smoothly.

During the journey, I found another place where spirits activate in the same way, but the change itself was unchanged, so I ended up just following up in the same way as in the second place.

At that time, Seiya and Shea also seemed accustomed to Colette leaving for a long time, and did nothing foolish.

During the journey, Colette was away several times to see the activated spirits she found in three places, but it was over in a very short time.

Nothing really changed, so it didn't take much time just to check.

After all, it lasted until the examiners reached the end of their journey.

And finally, the scholars entered the northern city, which was the end of their journey.
