Let's Manage The Tower
(5) Sights of the city
After a long day of exploring the village, Schlein, who came back later than herself, reported about you.
"Hmm? Does that mean there's a third person who can see us?
"That's what happens."
Still, the conditions are unknown.
It would have been easier if all the elders' blood families had been true, but that had already been denied.
That makes it too complicated.
Shreyn nodded as she watched as she put her hand on her chin and thought about it.
"I met some people after you, but unfortunately there was no one else. Of course, there was the elder's blood."
Hmm, I don't get it anymore.
With that said, Shreyne asked about the study that twisted her neck.
"How was your exam?
"I'm totally up to speed. I may have been walking slowly, but was it surprising that it was wider than the village thought and took a day to see it all?
"Well, even if there are only a few hundred units of people, we also produce enough to cover that number of people."
The size of the village is complete, but it is impossible to look around in one day.
Unlike the town known to Kaosuke, it is also due to the spacious space between houses (in this village, the monastery) as far away from the center.
Of course, monsters appeared, but it was unclear how to deal with them.
"Well, I'm impressed you're dealing with monsters."
Shreyne nodded to agree to the exam.
"Sure. It doesn't look like it's protected by a strong bond, so I'll deal with it manually every time a monster arrives."
Schlein manages the Vamilinian Castle, which is surrounded by boundaries that prevent monsters from raiding.
Even though the current vampires and iglids are out of range, they are much easier to protect than this one because they can only escape within the boundaries in case of need.
After telling Shreyne that there was more effort in the village than in construction, Kaosuke told Inez what he had taught him.
"Speaking of which, it looks like the city's opening tomorrow, so I'll show my face."
"The city...? Well, that's interesting."
Schlein, who thought it was essentially a self-sufficient settlement, reacted to the words of Kaiseki.
Of course, just because the city stands doesn't mean there's a flow of merchants coming, but I'm also interested in how people interact with things.
Shreyn looked at herself with a little surprise, and Kaiseki replied with a smile.
"Are you coming with me?
"Hmm... I see. Is that what I'm going to do?"
While the book at the Elder's Nunnery pulled his back hair, Shreyn agreed to the words of Kaiseki.

The next day.
Kaosuke and Shreyne stood where the city told them to stand.
"This..."
"It's busier than I thought."
They were both surprised at a city that was bigger than expected.
In a village with only a few hundred inhabitants, dozens of stalls stand narrowly.
There are so many people in the middle of nowhere.
It would be neither surprising nor impossible for Kaiseki and Shreyne to do so.
"What do you think? It's bustling, isn't it?
Inez said so while showing a little pride and pride to Kaiseki and Shreyne, who were betrayed in a good way.
Of course, it's smaller than the big city that Kaiseki and Schlein know, but it's wrong to compare it in the first place.
Moreover, Kabuki and Shreyne are not surprised only by the size of the open city.
"... vampires make this?"
"... I was surprised."
Vampires known to Kaiseki do not open large cities in the first place.
The vampire business is basically an individual exchange, and most of the business is left to Iglid.
That's not because vampires don't do business, but because they value connections.
But that common sense blew up when I saw the sight in front of me now.
The examiner shifted his gaze from the sight in front of him to Schlein.
"What does this mean?
"... we certainly had these times. Or is it something that has been lost in the flow of time?"
Shreyne, who was shocked more than just studying, answered with admiration.
Neither Kaiseki nor Shreyn wants vampires of their time to do the same thing that is happening in front of them.
We only think that vampires of this age were doing the same thing as other species.
And Shreyne, who was looking at the city, was paying attention not only to the way it was doing business, but also to something else.
"... a lot of kids."
"Eh? Really? As far as grandfather and so on are concerned, he said that he has finally returned to his original state in this era.
Inez said in surprise when she noticed Shreyn's murmuring.
"Does the original state mean before we built this village?
"Yes, I hear that. I only know this town."
Inez nodded with a serious face to ask about the exam aid.
Inez is a child born from the start of the village, so he doesn't know anything about the previous period.
I'm just talking to my parents.
The current state is a natural state for Ines.
That's why Inez doesn't know what Shreyn is surprised about.
The exam assistant was an exam assistant, and I didn't pay any attention to the number of children until Shreyne murmured.
That's because it was a very natural sight for a human being, Kaiseki.
But to be sure, it looks like a vampire colony with a lot of children.
The vampires known to Kaiseki are known only to the vampires in the tower, but considering that multiple families are gathered, it should be a natural sight for the vampires of their time.
That is, vampires of the present era seem to have the same number of households as ordinary human beings.
From Shreyne's surprise, I know that the common sense that I have is not wrong, but I also wonder what the sight in front of me is like.
Of course, the most surprising sight in front of me is Shreyne.
You might be more upset than surprised.
At the same time, I understood somewhere in my head what it means to have a vampire and have a child, because it is completely different from the values I know.
That's why the next thing I thought of was what the difference was.
Knowing it was much more important than reading the books at the Elders' Nunnery, he began to look at the city with a serious expression.
