Let's Manage The Tower

(7) Ritual Influence and Besides

After returning to management and taking a day off, Kaiseki went to Ashra's mansion the next day.

Immediately after returning to management, Ellis had an alternate god to show his face through the instruments of God.

"Welcome."

Asura smiled and said to the examiner who made his face when he arrived at the shrine.

"Did you have any urgent business?

Asura, who had been an unusual crossgod through Ellis, immediately heard of Kaosuke.

At the time of the crossing, there was no indication of when to come, but I hurried because I thought it would be better to deal with it as soon as possible after the ceremony.

That is why the examiner is in a bit of a hurry.

Against such an examination, Asla tilted her neck small before answering.

"Hmm. It's not so much to me, but I called him because he wanted to hear it right away."

What a disturbing way to put it, Kaiseki caught his face unexpectedly.

Asla is right, even if she thinks it's not a big deal, there are many things that surprise her.

Moreover, just after performing the ceremony, a bad feeling was swelling up in the study aid.

"... um... Why don't you let me know what happened?

"What, that tone.... well, fine."

It was Asla who turned his gaze to astonishment for a moment, but immediately sighed and continued.

"You were worried about the Spirit while Kaiseki was performing the ritual?

"... oh, yeah. That's it."

Remembering that the children had found it and Colette was doing a lot of research, Kaiseki hammered.

"As far as I can see, it was judged that there was no negative impact, but is there anything wrong?

"No, it doesn't have any negative impact."

Asura answered while swinging her neck to the right and left, and Kaiseki had a doubtful expression.

Well then?

"There is no doubt that the rituals performed by Kaiseki have revitalized the spirits more than ever."

Colette nodded to Asla's words as expected.

Having said that, I didn't have to worry about it because I already knew about it, but the problem is that Asla has continued to say it even more.

"Kaiseki has made the central continent a shrine, and that area is filled with Kaiseki divinity."

Satisfied with the divine power of Kaiseki means that the creatures living within that range were influenced by that divine power.

Of course, not all creatures receive the same amount of power equally, no matter how many of them are human gods.

Originally powerful creatures - in this case humans, subhumans, and monsters - were not so influenced by the divine power of Kaiseki.

However, spirits susceptible to such magical influences (including divine power, sacred power and all magic in this case) were greatly influenced by this ritual.

"Specifically, not only does my power as a spirit increase, but I feel that my original power combines with the power of study."

"Together..."?

I realized from the image that the power of spirits was increasing mixed with my divine powers, but I don't know what the problem would be.

As usual, Asura smiled at the assistant who was tilting her neck.

"Simply put, spirits, which consisted mostly of the power of spica, have become stronger by mixing up the power of study aid."

"Hmm... hmm? What's that?

For some reason, Kaiseki heard Asura's words and came up with a Tai Chi diagram representing Yin and Yang in his brain.

It's an example of a combination of white and black souls.

Kaiseki, who remembered the mixing of Spika's powers, had a hasty look on his face.

"No, no, that's okay, isn't it?

"Why?"

"No, why..."

Asked with a proper face, the examiner was stuck in words without a specific explanation.

After seeing it, Asla continued to explain it a little bit more.

"I don't know what you imagined, but just because the powers that make up the Spirit are mixed up doesn't mean there's a big problem."

"Really?

"That's right. Conversely, if Spika's strength had been reduced, we might have had a problem. But it's not that, it's just an increase in the power of examinations. In short, the power to make up the world has only grown, so there's no reason to welcome it, but to rule it out."

Assurance would have stopped if the ceremony was such as to weaken the whole world.

But I didn't stop because I knew it wouldn't happen.

Moreover, the increase in the power of the Spirit was a better event for Ashra than expected.

Ashra continued to laugh again at the study aide with a generous expression on Ashra's words.

"However, as I have just said, the influence will be greater than ever because of the increasing power of Kaiseki as a living god."

"Ah... yeah. Well, I kind of imagined it when I decided to do the ritual.... I just didn't think it would make a difference."

"That's right. I wasn't expecting that either. No, I could have predicted it, but I wonder if it would have been better if I had given up thinking unconsciously."

Ashra nodded as she was convinced of his words.

"Maybe it is."

"Well, I wonder if you could tell me a little more about what exactly is going to happen. If you're not more familiar with Kaiseki Shinto, some things won't show up."

"Really?

I feel like I've been doing the same thing for a while, but I can't help it.

Instead of answering strangely vaguely, you should listen carefully now.

"That's right. Besides, this is only a prediction, but I don't think it will change as dramatically as the spirits."

I see. That's good. "

I do not intend to make a big difference to the world with the ritual that I did myself as an examiner.

Even the changes made by the Spirit are full enough.

After completing the discussion about the ceremony of the examiner, Asla turned her attention to the examiner after putting "by the way."

"I'm one of your kids, but you're doing another interesting way of expressing power."

It was Asura who dared not say his name, but the examiner immediately thought of who he was and said that name.

"About Mick?

"Yes, the technology itself is still there, but it's already attracting the attention of several goddesses.

The one-point breakthrough type was strong, and Asura kept thinking about it a little, but she quickly turned into a face with a pin.

"Maybe more than cocoa?

"From that age, yes. In the case of koro, there are a lot of restrictions and it takes time, but in the case of Miku, it's just the art system. The narrower the range, the easier it is to tie the edges."

"Wow, is that what this is about?"

"That's what it is. However, they both go through the general criteria."

Asura said with a bitter smile, and Kaiseki shrugged her shoulders.

"That's enough for now. More than that, you're not playing weird tricks, are you?

"Of course. That's what Ellis and the others are trying to do. It's still a long way to go."

Asura, who continued to say that she had no arms or heart, looked relieved.

"I just want you to forgive me enough to protect me."

"As long as the conditions are in place, that won't be a problem. Rather, I don't intend to suppress it with the authority of my parents. It's the same as before."

"Yes, that would be fine."

Originally, they had agreed that it was not necessary to obtain the consent of Kaiseki, but Kaiseki and Asla laughed as if they did not realize it.

At this visit, I once again realized that it wasn't just study aids and peaches that I was looking forward to growing my children.
