Let's Manage The Tower

(5) Valuable friends

To see Seiya and Shea, Kaiseki moved from the management to the fifth floor residence, where he encountered a rare sight.

"Oh, a customer?

When the examiner moved to the living room, there was a boy there he had never seen before.

He looks about fifteen years old, so he's a delicate young boy whether or not to call him a man.

"That's right. You're friends with Seya and Shea."

To his surprise, Colette pretended to be casual and told him that it was rough.

Conversely, Colette's words surprised him.

"Friends? Seya and Shea? At last!?

Seya, who was watching the examiner's reaction, said with a gentle expression.

"Father. What does that mean?

"I think it's quite rude.

After Seiya, Shea looks at the study aid as she inflates her cheeks and puckers.

Towards the shea, the examiner nodded with his face.

"No, I apologize if that's the case, but... what do you think?

When they asked if they had made friends, Seya and Shia answered by turning their faces aside.

Apparently, unfortunately, I haven't made any friends yet.

Instead, Colette told the examiner with a smile.

"This is the neighbor of this house, Kane. We've been getting along for a long time."

"Oh, yeah. Nice to meet you, Cain."

"Ha, yes! Nice to meet you!"

The boy, introduced by Colette as Cain, stood up flat as he watched the exam.

As far as I can see, it seems that I am well aware of the examination.

Colette nodded and replied, turning his gaze to the meaningful examination aid.

"Yeah, I know Cain. Because your father is the prime minister."

"Oh! I see. So he's the son of the Marquis."

As expected, Kaosuke knows about Razekamamiya's prime minister.

On the contrary, I have seen my face several times in person.

One of the five houses of nobility that Razek Amamia has recognized as a nation, and one that Towa trusts.

Cain is the prime minister's oldest son, and he will be his heir son.

It was only natural that I should know more about the study aid than I have come to this house as a friend.

"That's right. Because your father is the son I expected."

"Yeah? Really?

After seeing Colette with a pleasant face, Kaiseki shifted his gaze to Cain.

"No! That's not true!

Cain shook his neck to the left and right in a hurry when he was asked to look at the assistant examiner.

I knew Colette was telling the truth, but I was impressed by Cain, who was quite humble.

"Yes, well, anyway, would you be happy to keep Seya and Shea close?

"Ha, yes!

I don't have to feel too nervous, but I nodded satisfactorily to the reply that I returned cheerfully.

And I kept getting a little naughty expression.

"If there's anything I can do, it would be helpful if my friends could help me."

"Well, that's..."

Cain looked in trouble at the words of the examiner.

This means that it is in a state that troubles Cain, who is said to be excellent.

With that thought, the examiner turned to Seiya and Shea with a smile on his face.

"Whoa, whoa. Seiya and Shea. What does this mean?

"Uhya!

"There's a flame!

Seiya and Shea, who had been watching Kaiseki and Cain's interactions with each other, shrugged their shoulders.

The examiners who saw the two were sighing as if they were making progress.

"Both of you. The magic tools will gradually fade, so if you don't get to know more people now, it will be the same as before.

"Yes..."

Seiya and Shea nodded reluctantly to the words of Kaiseki.

I'm learning how to put distance from people from corner peaches, but it doesn't make any sense if I don't actually let them live.

I seem to have lost consciousness during the entrance ceremony, but if I don't overcome it, I will remain an elf for years to come.

Cain looked round at the interaction between the examiners for some reason.

"I can't believe Seya and Shea are listening honestly!

Cain is shaking with his fist as he says that.

Just looking at it means you know exactly what Seya and Shea's normal attitude is.

"... I see. Do we have to hear from Cain about the two of us here?

"Father!?

"Eh, wait a minute?

They hurried into a stop at the disturbing words of Kaiseki (for Seiya and Shia).

But at the right time, Colette split in between.

This is an association play that Kaiseki and Colette have cultivated over the years. (?

Because Seya and Shea were blocked by Colette, Cain was unconcernedly talking about the two at school.

Cain is one year older than Seya and Shea, so she doesn't know how she's doing in class.

Still, the facial expression of the examiner gradually becomes indifferent to the attitude that comes in and moves deliberately away from people.

However, Cain, who does not know the usual assistance, did not realize such a thing and more and more evil (?).

And when Cain noticed, Seya and Shea were turning blue, and even tearful eyes.

"Eh...? Is that it?"

Cain, who had no idea why Seya and Shea were in such a state, leaned her neck and looked at the aid.

"Oh, no. Don't worry about it. It's just a little bit more punishment later."

That said, Cain's subtly attracted expression to Fufufu and his laughing assistant.

With tearful eyes, Seya and Shia decided to scold at a later time, and the examiner decided to hear what they were concerned about earlier.

"Speaking of which, what were you doing before I came here?

Shortly before the examiner arrived, all three of them were doing something surrounding the table in the living room.

Looking at it a little bit, it seemed like I was studying, but I was wondering if it was the right answer.

"Ah, yes. Seya and Shia taught me that they didn't understand the magic lecture."

As Cain was asked by the examiner, he presented a thin textbook that was on the table.

"Hmm. Which one...?

The examiner who took the textbook given to him by Cain nodded and flipped.

However, as the page progressed, the facial expression of the examiner went again without expression.

"Kouske?"

I wonder if Colette was surprised at that as well.

Instead of answering Colette's question, the examiner, who flipped over to the end of the textbook, gave Cain the textbook with a smile.

"Thank you very much. It was very helpful."

After saying so to Cain, the examiner saw Colette.

"I'm sorry, but I have a little business to attend to, so I'll be back."

"Yeah, yeah. That's good, but..."

I would have eaten dinner with you today.

When it suddenly changed, Colette wondered and didn't ask any more.

It turns out it's a story that can't be stopped where the kids are.

Colette's refusal led him to a room with a transfer gate as soon as possible.

Seya and Shea, who were watching it, were delighted that they apparently escaped the sermon, but unfortunately, the next day they would receive a firm scolding from the examiner.
