Let's Manage The Tower

(2) Embrace of Mother Earth

Shreyn carefully lowered her head to Clara, who appeared in front of her.

Vampires are one of the most important pillars of God. I can't treat it roughly.

However, even if other gods came out, Shreyne would have done the same.

"I have the utmost pleasure in seeing the God we worship."

Clara frowned at Shreyn, who had an unprecedented politeness.

"What, use that word. I'm the same god as Kaiseki, so there's no need to be afraid."

Shreyne responded to Clara's dialog by trying to squeeze out the words for a moment.

"Well, that's not how..."

"Oh, well, I guess I should report it to the examiner."

"Well, that's..."

From the words I usually use, it is far from the current Schlein.

It's not a big deal for Kaiseki, who has seen many people who can use words publicly and privately, but it was a fact that Schlein wanted to hide if possible.

Shreyn is also one of the maidens in love.

Clara has been chasing after the distressed Shreen.

"Besides, it would be good now, but I think we'll be able to show ourselves somewhere in time. What do we do then?

Shreyn stuck his words in the fact that he couldn't contest it at all.

"... we will try to speak as usual."

"Ha. Well, I guess that's the limit now."

Clara, who said so as to give up, turned from her teased face to a serious one.

"Instead, is your body okay? It was quite a burden, wasn't it?

"I can handle it... Bye."

"Pup"

As she rushed back to Shreyn, Clara forgot the atmosphere and blocked her mouth with her right hand to prevent it from erupting.

The ritual performed by Shreyn is quite different from the deity summons that Kaiseki has performed several times in the past.

The appearance is not clear from the time of the summoning of God or the arrival, but only something like a vague ghost is floating.

Still, the power of God, the power of God, can be felt clearly, and the face is visible enough to be able to read the expression.

Normally speaking, it looked like you would feel fear, but the other person was God and Shreyn, who had been in contact with the spiritual body in the tower in the first place, was in contact without paying particular attention to it.

Incidentally, all visible tricks are complemented in the brain by Schlein's position and movement.

Slightly tearful at Clara's reaction, Shreyne managed to answer the question.

"Was there anything in the ceremony that caused the body to modulate?

The tone has already been reopened and returned to respect.

Hmm. It's not like that, but it's the first time, right? That's why I wanted to make sure. "

"If that's the case, I don't find anything particularly strange."

Yes, that's fine.

Having heard Shreyn's reply, Clara nodded as if she was comfortable.

Clara wasn't convinced of anything, either.

Clara gave her right hand to Shreyn, who felt comfortable hearing her own words.

"Well, it looks like it's time for us to play our part."

When Clara said that, a little light came out from her right hand and jumped straight into Schlein's right chest.

Shreyn leans her neck small and feels no pain in particular.

"What is this?

"It's like a kind of protection. I'd like to hear the right name from the examiner."

"I see... I see."

After daring to say that again, Clara smiled instead of laughing.

"That's right. Keep up the good work. Well then, I'll go."

"Hi."

Shreyn answered shortly as she lowered her head and the next time she raised her head, the signs of Clara's appearance and strength disappeared from the scene.

Confirming that, Shreyn held back his cane, which was still pointing to the ground, and left it there.

Returning to management, Schlein quickly reported what had happened earlier to Kaiseki.

The protection I got from Clara.) to see what it looks like with your left eye.

"Hmm. That's what Clara was saying."

"That's not what I meant. That's why I want you to confirm it immediately."

"Of course.... hey. I've never seen this before."

Kaiseki, who activated the power of the left eye after declining Shreyne manners, confirmed the title he had seen for the first time.

The title is marked "The Embrace of Mother Earth."

Kaosuke told Shreyne his name as he saw it.

"It seems that it bears the title of Mother Earth's Embrace.

The first time I saw the title, I told Kaiseki nothing, but when I heard it, Shreyn looked like she had been poked in the face.

I see.... I didn't think I'd get it at that ritual. "

"Hmm? That's the first name I've heard of, but did Shreyne know?

"No, I've never heard of it as a title. The legend of a vampire is that the God of the earth gives the Mother Earth a hug. I didn't think it was the same name."

The old legend of vampires says that if you can fulfill your covenant with God, you will be given many things.

One of them includes "The Embrace of Mother Earth."

Sylvia, who had been listening to both of them silently until now, was interested in Shreyn's story.

"Is that something that only vampires tell you?

"Well, what do you think? At least I've never heard of it coming from another race."

Really?

It's about God, but Sylvia grew up in a temple that I've never heard of.

That's why I thought it was only being passed on to vampires, but I couldn't get a clear answer.

In the first place, even if it's passed on to vampires, it's a legend that has already penetrated one legend.

I have never verified whether or not there has been such a story with other species, so I cannot respond to Shreyne.

"If I perform the ritual that Shreyn performed, would I get the same result?

"Well, I don't know about that. I don't know unless I try, but at least you don't think I can do the ritual I just did?

Sylvia, who mistakenly thought she lacked strength, replied to the Shreyne's words with a slightly flat voice.

"Why is that?

"Because it's not a contract that only vampires can make."

Huh?

In response to Schlein's unexpected answer, Sylvia unexpectedly made a decent face.

Looking at Sylvia's face and smiling, Shreyne continued to look like she remembered something.

"It is said that the ritual is based on a contract with the God of Clara made by vampires a long time ago. I don't know if a similar contract exists between the human and Clara gods, but it shouldn't be exactly the same."

"... I see, that's what happened."

Sylvia nodded convincingly to Shreyn's explanation.

What Shreyne has just said is that the fact that the vampire persists in its position as a species that protects and conveys the contract is a reminder of this fact.
