Let's Manage The Tower

"Joyanokane?"

"Yes, the night bell. Simply put, it ends with a hundred and seven bells before the New Year's Eve, and a final one as soon as the New Year's Eve begins."

Sylvia managed to catch up with what he told everyone after the New Year's Eve.

"What does that mean?

"Hmm... I don't know what you're talking about, but I do think it meant a hundred and eighty people were worried about celebrating the New Year."

It was a subtle and vague explanation, but after all, the perception of the auxiliary examiner's night bell was this degree.

Nevertheless, I was very conscious on New Year's Eve, and I was able to explain it quite well, so I could say that I was well dyed in religious rituals.

For example, even if a foreigner hears a night out bell, it may be perceived as just a noise.

However, since it rings that many numbers on New Year's Eve, you can imagine that it has some religious significance.

With Sylvia in mind for some reason, Floria talked to me this time.

"Hundred and eighty. Does it make sense?

"Meaning, as I just said, human troubles were said to be hundred and eighty, otherwise I don't really understand the meaning."

Really?

In fact, there are various commentaries, and I don't know that this is the correct answer, but the general perception is probably of the degree of assistance.

Besides, just because you don't know the exact meaning, the effect of the night bell (?) does not fade.

"Well, that's not how much I've learned."

Shreyn nodded his words.

"That's right, isn't it rather familiar?

"What do you think? If I had been from the country, I would have known and taken it for granted."

Every year on New Year's Eve, the bells were broadcast.

Every time, although listening, the meaning of the bell was also explained, so most people would certainly know.

Of course, few people will be watching it from start to finish.

Kaiseki looked down at the ceiling, recalling what happened at the time.

"Well, even if I didn't know the detailed religious significance, if I'd heard that sound, I'd have felt like I was older."

Hmm. I see. "

"In Kowske's original world, New Year's Eve was an important event."

Florian was convinced and Schlein nodded when she said so.

"I guess so. Besides, we're celebrating New Year's, right? It's not that different."

"Really? As far as I can tell, it seems to be more important than this?

In this world, where there are many races with different lifespans in the first place, there is a history in which the original calendar was significantly different.

Of course, the calendars are important because they are grown differently from season to season, but otherwise they are only "calendars used by the human race".

In response to Colette's question, the examiner shook his neck to the side.

"That's not true. Besides, the treatment of the new year varied from country to country in the first place. It just happened to be the case in the country where I was."

There was a vague expression in the study aid that seemed not convincing at first, but there was only one person with a distinctly different face.

"Sylvia? What's going on? Looks like you've been thinking about something?

"What? Oh, no, I'm sorry. I was wondering if I could use this story at the Lily Shrine."

"That's..."

I was about to ask if I would perform the night bell at the Lily Shrine, but Florian reacted before that.

"Oh, I see. I thought I missed the shrine."

"That's right. People will call you when they have a party."

It is difficult to say that the number of visitors to the current Lily Shrine is so high that the priests will come and the enthusiastic believers will come.

In that case, he was convinced by Sylvia's idea that there should be a meeting to call people.

As it stood, I thought that the New Year's Bell might really be implemented in the "shrine", so I continued to explain it as if Kaiseki was in a hurry.

"No, no, wait a minute. The New Year's Eve Bell is not a shrine event! A completely different religion!

"What is another religion? If God is different, it's only natural to celebrate differently, right?

"Ah, uh... uh?

Sylvia told me with a neat expression that the examiner leaned his neck in an attempt to explain.

In the first place, Earthgard only has a different god to believe in, and there is only one so called "religion".

There are shrines and shrines about buildings, but they are not different because they are different religions.

Differences between races and regions may have different buildings, although they may be preferred by some gods.

The examiner was bothered by how to explain the religious difference.

In the first place, I only know the difference between Shinto and Buddhism, and that they worship gods of different systems.

Not to mention that Buddhism in Japan is complicated by the blending of Shinto gods.

For this reason, I didn't know how to explain the religious difference to people in the natural world who originally believed in a fragmented god.

The examiner who gave up trying to explain it well decided to explain it very simply.

"To put it simply, in the world I lived in, the gods that I worshipped differed according to their respective regions and histories, but they were completely separated as separate religions. That's why the religions that used shrines and the religions that used to wear night bells were different."

"... I realized that there was a different religion. Does this mean that Kouske did not believe in the religion of the shrine?

Sylvia, who knew that Kaiseki liked to use the shrine, leaned her neck with a strange face.

"Ah, no, that's not what I meant, but... anyway, in the country where I was, there was a historical background, and there were two main religions, right?

Since we did not worship the gods as deeply as we believe in this world, the words of the Kaiseki are also obscured.

Japanese religious values were unique in the original world, so it was difficult to explain them convincingly.

Sylvia has made a diagonal proposal before the troubled study aid.

"I don't think you need to worry that much. Lily Jingu is a company for Kouske-sama, so I think you can do what you think."

"It's not like... that? Is that so?

When I heard Sylvia's words, I was confused by the reaction from the surroundings.

Asuke and Sylvia's face-to-face were just as it should be.

So Florian, who looked at Kaiseki's face, asked him to leave the boat.

"Kowske, even if it's a memorable event, you don't think you need to be tied up in the old customs? Because this is a different world from the one Kowske used to live in."

"I see. If you say so, is that so?

The examiner, who received a very convincing word from Floria, nodded while saying so with a face that was not convincing.

Eventually, Sylvia and the others pushed it off, and the Lily Shrine held the night bell and the first shrine (somehow added to the conversation on the way).
