Let's Manage The Tower

(4) First time leeway

"--Ow"

The assistant who finished communicating with Clara sighed greatly.

First of all, I was trying to get in touch, but I was able to do more than I expected.

Thanks to Clara, we can always communicate with the original era much more mentally.

Shreyne, who was watching the exam, knew that the result was better than she had expected from looking at the face.

Shreyne didn't even hear the conversation.

Apparently, it was a good thing.

"Ah, Shreyne. - I'm sorry. That's right. I got more than I thought."

"Huh? What does that mean?

Shreyn leaned her neck and Kaiseki started talking about the conversation earlier.

"Hmm, it certainly looks like it's a lot better than it used to be."

After hearing from the examiner, Shreyn said so with a bright expression.

"Right? Well, I'm not sure I can go back completely."

"At this stage, you'll want so much."

In the first place, at a time when we are in the past, we are in an impossible situation.

No matter how many gods can interfere without preparation, neither Kaiseki nor Shreyne think about it.

The assistant nodded at Shreyn's words and looked as if she had come up with something.

"In the meantime, what are you going to do while we wait for you to get back to us?

"Is that so? I was able to afford it, so let's take a closer look at the village. In the meantime, I'd like to check out the rituals of this era as usual. This is not an opportunity."

In response to Shreyne's expected answer, the examiner nodded and looked interesting.

"Anyway, why don't you check out the kids you were worried about when you saw the city?

The biggest surprise since Shreyn came to the village was the number of children.

Even when I went to see the city together, I realized that Shreyn was running his eyes especially on the children.

As Shreyne acted unconsciously, she was intrinsically surprised to see such a place.

"Mmm!? No, I do care. There are so many other things I need to know..."

"Hi, there's nobody else here, so you don't have to light it up. More than that, I think we'll need it for the vampires ahead.

The birth rate is not as extreme as elves, but the number of children is also small for vampires who know how to help.

In such a situation, whatever happens will be involved in the survival of the race in the future.

Even the tower elves, whose birth rate is improving, are not in a state to be sure.

Vampires are never too quick to deal with.

And Shreyn nodded as if she dared to switch to the whole race of problems.

"... maybe."

"Isn't it?

Shreyne, who showed a positive expression, smiled while saying such a thing.

Somehow, the exam was an exam aid, and I wanted a child with Shreyne.

Of course, it's only natural that I don't intend to force it.

Communications from Clara cannot be received without assistance.

As a result, when Shreyn went out with his cane, he also walked around with the examiner.

In the first place, we don't know if Clara is communicating with us, so we can't help it.

Now that I feel comfortable walking around in the past with Schlein is not necessarily a kind of date, so I am in a batch coin state as an examiner.

However, it is unusual for Shreyn, who was clearly discerning the idea of such a study aid, to have a happy smile that can't be hidden even while being stunned (?) The exam assistant may be discerning.

After all, you should say either.

"This way, it doesn't look like a normal human being."

Kaosuke murmured as he saw the children running around cheerfully in a little square in the village.

It's not as big as Kaiseki or Schlein, but there are more than a dozen children even if you can see them now.

In the vampire village in the tower, it was unlikely in proportion to the population.

"... is that so? When I saw it before, I thought, what's the difference?

Well then. Isn't it just a kid who doesn't know?

There are only children where Kaiseki and Shreyne are now.

Speaking of being abandoned is a bad word, but since adults work irrespective of both men and women, children who have grown up to some extent do not have a parental surveillance eye.

But it's not just this town, it's the same in any ethnic town or village of our time.

I can't afford to be a mother and a father and watch my child's condition all the time.

Kaosuke and Shreyne were watching the children for a while, but eventually someone who looked like the mother of the children came along.

And when the woman called out her name, one of the children ran towards you.

Since one of the children we were playing with was waving his hand, he did it properly (?) I know that it is my mother.

However, even if you try to commit a kidnapping in such a small village, you will soon know who it is, so no one will imitate you like that.

The examiner, who was watching her mother pull her child's hand and leave, murmured.

"Somehow... it's really a very ordinary landscape.... huh? Is that normal?

An examiner who remembered something caught in his casual words leaned his neck.

"What is it? Did you find something?

"Hmm, no, what is it? Something funny happened... oh, okay."

The examiner, who was comparing the scene in front of him to Schlein, nodded greatly knowing what he felt uncomfortable with.

Thinking about it, it was very simple.

"I know the sight in front of me is' normal ', but I think it was strange that I didn't think the sight in the other village was unusual."

"Yeah? What do you mean?

Shreyne leans her neck at the rhetoric of the examiner, who didn't know what it meant to hear a little bit.

"Well, I don't know... Vampires have few children. This is supposed to be unusual if you think about it normally, but it might be strange to accept it as normal."

It was a fact that the examiner would not have noticed if there was no sight in front of him.

After all, Kaiseki was not in a world where there was another race.

That's why there was a diagram in the head of the examiner that there were few vampires and few children.

But the sight in front of me showed that it was a mistake.

If we could find out why vampires of the time when Kaiseki and Shreyne knew so often accepted that there were very few children, we would know something.

Having heard the story of the examiner, Shreyn put her arms together to reflect.

"In short, there's a reason why fewer children are no longer normal."

"Well, is that so?

I felt somehow skewed from what I wanted to say, but for the time being, I nodded.
