Let's Manage The Tower

Shreyne, who had stopped moving for a while,

"... I didn't realize it was this simple."

After murmuring, I looked around again.

There, as always, the children are playing with confusion.

Shreyn stared at such a sight with a dazzling gaze.

"... Master Schlein?

"Oh, no. It's nothing. I was worried."

To Inez, who looked at herself with an anxious face, Shreyne reached out to reassure her and licked her head.

Instead of trying to rip his hand off, Inez continued to have the same face, and Shreyne continued even further.

"What? Because I don't have any children yet. I was just thinking a little bit about what would happen if I were here."

"... is that with Mr. Kowske?

"Yeah? I'm sensitive inside. Well, that's not what I meant."

Though she said she was sensitive, she thought maybe she didn't know, but Shreyne replied.

Looking at Shreyne like that, Inez finally smiled and wondered if she was convinced.

Schlein, who returned to the temple after breaking up with Inez, reported to Kaiseki immediately.

"Kowske, I see the answer.... Tabun"

"That's not what I'm saying."

Suddenly, Kaiseki returned a bitter smile to Shreyn, whose words were cloudy as if she had become weak.

Nevertheless, as far as Shreyn's eyes are concerned, I think it will be fine.

Therefore, Kaiseki, who soon returned to his true face, looked at Shreyne and said.

So, what did Shreyne find out?

"It's about 'living'."

Huh?

Schlein answered with a surprising look.

"I mean, what? What do you mean?"

It was too abstract a word, so I dared to rush in and listen.

Of course, in Schlein's current answer, it wasn't the key.

I just didn't think it was entirely wrong.

Shreyne, who had been asked about the exam aid, nodded only once before continuing.

"The vampires I know are too obsessed with living things. More specifically, about living with flesh."

The children who could be seen in the village were obsessed with living things.

In short, it means creating a child with a connection to yourself so that you can be attacked by monsters whenever you want.

It may be called the instinct that creatures are supposed to have.

However, the vampires that Shreyn knows are extremely less obsessed with these parts.

Speaking of why, it's also because of some rituals that vampires who are familiar with examinations.

Needless to say, the ritual was performed by the prost family, which had abandoned its flesh and could exist only by its soul.

Of course, Shreyne, summoned by Mitsuki, used the same ritual.

Because such rituals have reduced attachment to the body, even the important act of connecting life to the next generation has lost its meaning.

... and Shreyne analyzed it.

After listening to Shreyn's thoughts, the examiner nodded as he gazed at her.

"Yeah, I'll ask you again. What key did Shreyne find?

"Vampire... no. It's the most important thing to a creature, a child."

It was really easy to think about.

After all, Shreyne has been concerned about the number of children since she entered the village.

The wand brought Shreyn to this era, finding that he had not even noticed.

"You're a child. So, is that a personal problem with Shreyne? Or the whole race?

"No, of course it's both."

Seeing Shreyne, who said so without hesitation, Kaiseki smiled.

Kaiseki thought that Schlein could replace it as a problem of the race as a whole and ignore it as an individual problem.

"So, how do we solve the problem?

"Well... that's the biggest problem. I don't know if I have to try all this... or if I need it that much?

Even if the vampires know that there is a problem, they can't solve it by staying in the past.

No matter how good we find a solution, it's just a desk theory, no matter what Shreyne said.

That's true too. Now, is this it? "

"... what a light answer."

In a light reply, Shreyne returned a slightly distracted look.

To that shrain, Kaiseki shrugged his shoulders and replied further.

"I can't help it. The key to returning to the old days was determined only by the cane. Rather, if Shreyne thinks that's the answer, that's the answer."

"Is that what this is?

"That's what it is. Of course, there is some direction. This time, I wish Schlein had noticed that there was a problem with the vampire race."

A vampire whose obsession with living things has diminished, causing problems in becoming a child that is the backbone of living things.

If Shreyne finds out about this, she can actually go back to the old days and move on to solving the problem.

That is not the clear answer we have here.

Having understood what the examiner wanted to say, Shreyne nodded but leaned quickly.

"That's good, but how do we get back to the old times?

"That's easy. You can tell me the answer Shreyn found on the cane."

"No, just to teach."

Until now, he had been holding various canes and talking about the answers.

Shreyne doesn't know what to do because she's not reacting to it.

Schlein had a puzzled look on her face, and Kaiseki smiled back a little.

"Well, I'll tell you that later, so don't worry. Instead, there's something to do first, right?

Suddenly, Shreyn leaned to the examiner who said such a thing.

"What do you think you're gonna do?

"Here. Don't forget the important thing because it was stuck. I have to thank the elders for their help."

"Ah..."

Shreyne, who had completely forgotten about it, unexpectedly blushed her face.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Change the location at the Elder's House.

The elder, who had heard from Kaosuke and Shlein, sighed deeply.

I see. Can we go back to where we belong? "

It was Shreyne who talked to the Lord, but he didn't make it clear that he was going back to the future.

However, the elders somehow understood and never asked.

I also know how bad things can get.

Shreyne nodded back to the elder with a sad expression.

"Mm-hmm. I don't know if I'm going to try it properly, but it's probably going to be okay."

"I'm going to miss you, but I can't help it. Let's just say that we were lucky enough to talk about it."

"I'm glad you said that."

Shreyn smiled at the elder's words.

After talking about the street, I decided to talk about what to do afterwards and return to the monastery that I once rented.

The Elder said he needed some time to talk to the people he had taken care of so far.

Of course, Shreyne didn't intend to let it go, so she decided to say hello again.
