Let's Manage The Tower

(6) Kouhi's Rank

After finishing the farming work at the new base, Floria asked me a question that was equally relaxing in the living room of the mansion.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Kouhi since yesterday, but what's the matter?

It is rare for Kouchi to stay away from the study aid for a long time.

If so, Floria asked if this was the case this time because she was taking care of the children.

However, the answer to the exam was different from the expectation.

"Ah, Kouchi's going to Seychun."

"Sechun? Oh, always."

It was Florian who couldn't remember what town Seitun was in for a moment, but he nodded immediately.

Kouchi, who ranks first in the arena in the city of Seychun, is invited by the Arena Alliance from time to time after entering the Hall of Fame to show his combat power.

Because of the rank taken at the corner, I have been sent to study for when something happened, but so far it has not been useful at all.

Looking at Florian's face, Kaiseki nodded.

"Well, that's right. It's just a delicate question of whether it's always necessary."

"What is it? You didn't think I needed an exam."

Floria, who had been told by Kaiseki earlier that she was going to listen to the story that had appeared at the corner, turned her gaze slightly astonished.

"No, well, that's right. I kind of enjoyed Kouhi's condition, so I couldn't stop him."

"... is that so?

In his words, Floria turned her suspicious gaze towards him.

It's only natural that Floria should look like that.

At least she herself was unaware that Kouhi was in such a state.

Rather, I thought I was going because I was told by the examiner.

There are no other emotions here, such as dislike, because the opponent is Kouhi.

Kouchi has no negative feelings about what was said.

However, that's why I didn't think I had the good feelings that Kaiseki said.

It was Mitsuki who answered Florian's question here, not Kaiseki.

"That's the face you're looking forward to."

After all, Mitsuki thinks so too?

Seeing Kaiseki and Mitsuki nodding each other, Floria leaned her neck.

"... I don't know at all?

"Really? I don't think there's anything that easy to understand. Well, anyway, I don't think we can do everything we can, but I think it would be fun to have a real interpersonal fight."

"Oh, I see. Is that what this is about?"

Floria nodded convincingly at Mitsuki's words.

Even in the same battle, interpersonal vs. monster fights look a lot different.

Usually Kouchi goes to fight monsters at the request of his assistant, but he rarely plays interpersonal games.

Fighting in Seychun's arena is a good change for Kouchi.

Floria leaned her neck to Mitsuki, who knew Kouchi well.

"I see, but is Mitsuki good?

"Me? I can stay with Kaoru-sama for the time being, that's fine."

In response to the neat Mitsuki, Floria replied, "Really?" and laughed.

Alternatively, even if the two positions were the opposite, it seemed interesting to me that the exact same reply would come to mind.

The examiner, who tilted his neck slightly to the state of Florian, went on to talk about what he had been thinking for a long time without asking in particular.

"Even if you have business with Seychun or the Gazenrun Tower, you just need to get closer in another way, so you don't necessarily need to be in your current position."

"Well, yeah. Even if you need it, Mitsuki will just have to pick it up this time."

"No, that's true, but now you can go to Floria, right?

Floria's combat abilities clearly exceed S-ranked Recruits.

With that in mind, Floria will be well placed.

Nothing, we don't have to leave it to Kouhi alone.

Floria scratched her cheeks as if she were showing up.

"Well, I suppose so... at least when Kouhi is here, you won't be willing to leave?

"No, that's exactly what I wouldn't say. Whatever you want."

In the first place, Florians can play simulated fights at any time by asking Kouchi.

Floria doesn't want to go out on purpose and be a sight to see.

"Seychun's Arena Alliance rank is only available in the city."

As Floria said, ranking in a limited place called Seitun makes little sense.

Besides, Setum now has a crown, and your rank is just as heavy.

Given that, there is no point in taking the trouble to get a new rank.

"That's what it is.... well, I'll talk about Kouhi when I get back. It's a great opportunity."

Kaiseki decided to talk to Kouhi as a good opportunity because Florian cared about her in this way.

Even so, if Kouchi wants to continue, he has no intention of forcing it to stop.

It was up to Kouhi to finish the story at this time.

The next day.

When Kouchi returned from Sechun, Kaosuke quickly cut out the story.

"--So, it's up to Kouhi to stop it, but what do we do?

"That's it, Lord. Actually, I was going to talk to you about this, but this is what I got during my visit."

As Kouchi said so, he took a piece of paper out of the item box and gave it to Kaiseki.

"Um...? This time, we're putting the fighter Corey in permanent rank number one - what is this?

"Apparently, they also thought that if I was in first place all the time, it would have an impact on operations, and they thought a lot about it."

Kouchi said so and began talking to Kaiseki about the proposal from the officer of the Arena Alliance.

Apparently, the officers already figured out who Kouhi was.

Of course, I didn't identify Corey as a spokesperson.

However, it seemed to think that it was not a normal human, but rather a superior species that would replace it.

Kouchi was carefully thinking that it was because of such circumstances that he continued to hide his identity, and he was concerned that he would one day leave the Arena Alliance.

Therefore, the content proposed by the Arena Alliance was to make Kouchi permanently rank first so that he could fight in the arena as the highest rank holder at any time.

Considering Kouchi's (speculative) lifespan, it was also communicated to generations of arena Alliance Masters.

Kouchi added at the end that he had finished the conversation.

"I thought I would confirm it with the Lord, but at my discretion, I have accepted it on the spot. If there is a problem, you can return it, but will it work?

"Ah, I see. Was that one step ahead? Well, if you think Kouchi is good, then I think that's fine.

Really? Thank you very much. "

In response to the exam aid, Kouchi thanked him on the spot with a reassuring expression.
