Let's Manage The Tower

(11) Required information

While Inez was making a serious face, the conversation between Shreyne and the Elder was going on.

"Gelta said they came from the future?

"As far as the current situation in this village is concerned, I'm sure it will be."

The elder glanced at Shreyn, who answered without changing his expression.

His face looks like he's trying to tell whether Shreyn's words are true or false, or else he's trying to tell something else.

After all, the Elder doesn't see Shreyne and Kaiseki clearly.

Beyond that, we have no choice but to judge within the range of sound and sight.

However, more than meeting Am for the first time, it's ultimately up to the elders to decide what to do.

Aware of what the elders were seeing, Shreyne kept talking without seeing what she cared about.

"I'm telling you, it's no use trying to get whatever information you want from us right now.

"... may I ask why?

The Elder was stuck in words for a moment by Shreyn's declaration.

The elder who was about to hear about it was struck by Shreyne.

"It's not that simple. Because we don't have a cruelty hobby to wish ourselves extinction. At the very least, I can't give you information unless you know exactly what's going on."

"If I can't get the information I want, can I just kick you out of here?

"Then you just have to get out of here. You don't have to get the information you need from this town."

In fact, that's not true, but Shreyne dared to say so.

In the first place, I believe that the reason why the examiners came to this era was the accident of the water mirror and the tin cane.

However, it is not clear why this era has come to pass.

I don't know if it's a mirror or a cane, but if I dare to choose this era and place, if I can get rid of the village, the samurai will not be able to return to the original era.

At the very least, Shreyne doesn't intend to do anything inadvertent like teach it right now.

After listening to Shreyn's words, the elder opened the door for a short while.

Then I breathed and answered.

"... I see. Then you have no choice. What do you want to know?

In response to the elder's answer, Shreyne sighed with relief that she had won the bet for the time being.

Shreyne's aim is to get important information from the elders first.

I don't know how much information I need to know to do it.

That's why I dared to escape at any time.

Of course, I had a hand in exposing my thoughts and asking them to cooperate, but in just a few decades, I couldn't know everything about being an elder.

It's only natural to negotiate in your favor as much as possible.

In response to a question from the elder, Shreyn wondered what to ask for a while.

I would like to ask you as few questions as possible to add core questions.

While Shreyn thought about it, Elders and Gelta waited for her words.

Eventually, the two of them will breathe into Shreyn's inquiry.

"------How long ago did you leave town?

"... I still know how to do that."

He stopped on the way to ask if he was there, and Shreyne went on.

"In the long history of vampires, do you think it's better to stop thinking that no one else has done the same?

The elder was silent about Shreyn's containment.

In Schlein's current words, I was able to hear and learn that she came from a considerable future.

In addition, there are other important elements for them.

Now that Shreyne knows that, she understands that she's talking by choosing a word.

I decided that if I succeeded here, I wouldn't even be able to hear the rest of the story.

Seeing the silent elder, Shreyne now waited for the answer.

If we don't get a proper answer here, we won't be able to identify the age we're in.

It is a very important occasion for the information given to us to change.

A few minutes passed while maintaining a strange sense of tension.

And the elder barely opened his mouth.

"... we opened this village about 50 years ago."

"Elder!?

Gelta looked surprised at the elder's answer.

Seeing it, Shreyn understood that the elder's words were true.

I didn't understand it with a specific basis, but I was sure it wasn't wrong for some reason.

After seeing the elders and Gelta, Shreyne decided to throw the next bait.

"I see. Does that mean it's about to get tough?

In response to Schlein's casual question, the elders and Gelta took a breath and looked at Schlein.

Incidentally, Kaiseki and Inez, who are listening to their conversation beside them, have no idea what to do.

Kaiseki doesn't know the detailed history of vampires, and Inez is only a disciple, so he hasn't heard any important stories.

"What does he know... No, what does he tell me?

Shreyne shook her neck to the right and left as she gazed at the elder.

"Well. I still don't know if I can give you the information I know. I'm asking you, is your name 'Prost' correct?

"Huh? Ah, yeah. Yeah, but?

The elder nodded strangely to Shreyn's question.

But this time, I was surprised inside.

I know the name of the prost, even if I don't know the history of fine vampires.

After all, it's the name of the vampire family that lives in the tower.

I thought that might happen because of Inez, but I didn't think I'd ever meet someone with a family name.

Shreyn exhaled alongside the surprised examiner.

I never thought I'd meet the Proust family's founder.

The surprise went beyond examinations.

I see. Then shall I answer in good faith? What they're doing isn't wrong. "

In Shreyn's words, the elder quietly meditated in his eyes.

Elders who had been doing so for more than a minute

"... is that so?"

And he murmured with all his thoughts.

The conversation that followed went very fast.

When Shreyne says, "I can't give you any more information," the Elder also says, "It's too much."

The information from Shreyne was, as the elders put it, nothing more.

Of course, Shreyne thought so, so she gave us the information.

Later, Kaiseki asked Shreyn, "Can I give him the information that is definitive in the future?" But Shreyn's answer was "no problem."

What Shreyn said on this occasion was that we all had to move forward as elders, and what Shreyn said was only meant to reassure the elders.

From now on, it was necessary for Kaiseki and Shreyne to work in the village, and it was necessary for the elders, who would not make a big difference to the future.
