Let's Manage The Tower

(8) Visible cane

"Speaking of which, Inez. Can I ask you something?

"Hya!

Inez replied with a slightly raised voice, wondering if the earlier surprise still remained.

"... how long have you been surprised? Well, anyway. How do they look on the other side?

The query from Gelta seemed to be more interesting than for the sake of the village just now.

As evidence, Gelta's eyes were shinier than before as she looked at Inez.

Inez replied slowly after a quick review of Kaiseki and Shreyne.

"I can hear the words clearly, but even if I see them, my face is only blurry. After all, I can tell from my appearance that I am a man and a woman."

"Huh? Is that so?

Inez nodded to Shreyne, who knew that Gelta couldn't hear her.

"Yes, but when I was fighting a wolf earlier, I thought I saw it clearly..."

I didn't really care about Inez because he wasn't normal and he was in battle.

When I felt calm and realized that Kaiseki and Shreyne were Am, my face was only blurry.

Inez didn't talk about it because he thought it was natural for Am to look like that.

As Inez explained, Gelta stroked her chin with a contemplative face.

"I see. That's an interesting story."

That's true. However, I think I understand the reason for the ambiguity.

Gelta nodded after seeing Shreyn's writing.

"Hmm. I guess the traveler of time is influencing it."

Probably, but...

Conversation between Schlein and Gerta (?) and nodded to agree.

Only Inez, who was listening to the conversation beside him, was bowing his neck.

"Um...? If you're travelers of the time, why can't you see clearly?

"... Ines"

That's what Gelta said, and she looked like she didn't know why.

"If we hadn't listened to the past in detail and history hadn't moved as it did, we might not be here right now. It's one of those precautions."

Gelta described it so briefly, but Inez was flying a question mark over his head.

Looking at it, Gelta sighed as if she had given up.

"... we'll explain later when we have time."

Ah, yes.

Did you think Gelta was stunned, Inez replied shortly without pursuing it any further.

It was Inez who somehow had a refreshing face, but she looked strange.

"But why is it so obvious what Shreyn has?

"What do you think I have?

Without knowing what Inez was talking about, Shreyne leaned her neck.

"Yes, I don't know its name, but is it a weapon? There are a lot of rings at the end of the long stick, and when I move it, it makes a sharp noise."

In that explanation, Inez told Kaisuke and Shreyne exactly what he was talking about.

Kaiseki and Shreyn looked at each other unexpectedly.

"Can you see the cane clearly?

I don't think it's just a coincidence.

While saying that to each other, he shifted his gaze to Shreyn's cane.

"Thinking about the situation when you came here, isn't that impossible?

"Is that so? I think it's too soon to come to a conclusion, but it looks like a big hint."

Schlein nodded greatly when he said so.

What is on Kaiseki and Shreyn's head is that when they came to this era, the peach's manipulating mirror and the scepter Shreyn had reacted.

It is too early to conclude, as Shreyn said, but it is also inconceivable that the cane brought the two to this era in reaction to the past, when it was about to be reflected in the water mirror.

No, it would be natural to think so.

That's why, even if we find out that the cane is the cause, we don't know how to get back to the original era.

After all, if we don't gather information in this village, we won't be able to move.

Inez was telling Gelta about the conversation earlier while Kaiseki and Shreyne were looking at each other with difficulty.

And Gelta nodded convincingly when she heard it.

"You both seem to know why we're here."

Ah, that wasn't from the very beginning. Thanks to Inez, I got one step closer to being sure. And some tips to get back to the old days.

I see. That's good. "

There are legends that if Am stays in shape, he may eventually disappear.

Gelta knows they can't stay like this forever.

"In the meantime, the elders will decide what to do with them in this village, so can you wait here now?

Kaosuke and Shlein nodded to Gelta, who continued to tell the elders.

Of course not. I'm sorry to bother you.

"What? Interesting thing is true. Perhaps the elders will not be evil."

I see. Okay. Okay.

After confirming Shreyn's reply, Gelta turned to Inez.

"What are you staring at? They're coming, too?

"Eh!? Me, too?

"Of course. I think it's better to explain the situation in the most detail."

Fuahh

Inez shrugged his neck small to Gelta's face as to what he was talking about.

And Gerta and Inez set Kaosuke and Shrain in the temple, and went to the temple where the elders dwelt.

The two who were left behind in Gelta's house looked at each other.

"You can't see us clearly, can you see the cane properly?"

"If the cane brought us here, what's the purpose?"

"Well... Or did you bring a tin wand?

"No, I don't know. I just wanted to say it."

In response, Shreyn dropped Gakri's shoulders.

If I knew it was because of the cane, I thought I could do something about it.

"So-so. In the meantime, I'm just glad you found something that might help."

Mitsuki, who had been silent until now, said so from above the right shoulder of Kaiseki.

"That's not true. You don't know when you'll be back if you don't?

"Well, that's right. By the way, the cane hasn't changed a bit so far?

Shreyne nodded only once after seeing her own cane.

"Hmm. No change at all.... when fighting wolves, I didn't have anything to worry about."

In Shreyn's explanation, Kaisuke shook his neck to the left and right.

"I can't. Too little information. I think it would be better not to touch it badly even if I checked the cane. Above all, there are too few tools."

"Yeah, that's the problem."

"That's the way it is."

No amount of study aid can examine the cane in detail without any tools.

What's more, if you use magic or other force to investigate, you don't know what kind of effect it will have on the cane.

At least we shouldn't be doing bad things right now.

Shreyne sighed as well when she answered.

If the situation didn't seem to be going too far, we had to force ourselves to look at the cane, but at least the two of them thought it wasn't going to be the situation right now.
