Let's Manage The Tower

It is a goblin village that is now mostly operated away from Sol, but naturally I sometimes go to see how things are going.

In doing so, Sol will receive a report from the people who run the village.

And Sol, who was receiving the report now, looked so harsh.

"What, Sol? What's the matter with you? As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing particularly bad about it?

The examiner who happened to arrive with me leaned his neck with his face towards Sol.

As far as Kaiseki is concerned, the operation of the village is well under way, and the number of goblins and their evolved species is steadily increasing.

In particular, there were steadily more evolved species than before.

I don't know if it was because my life was more stable or because the number of deaths from fighting monsters was decreasing, but it seemed certain that the number of evolutionary species was increasing.

Asked by the examiner, Sol now had a depressing face, and other demons (goblins) also looked at him and looked strange.

Sol, who felt those gazes, answered while looking at Kaiseki's face.

"No... I felt better than when I was here all the time, so follow me..."

With that said, I stumbled my index fingers together and suddenly blew out the study aid.

It's only natural that Sol, whose appearance is full of the word "demonic gloss", sees such a trick.

Instead, the other demons were comparing Kaiseki and Sol with a stunned expression.

The two of us now seem to have a completely different relationship than before.

Before Sol left the village, he treated it like an absolute god who was reluctant to touch Kaiseki, but it has faded considerably.

Although there is no doubt that Sol still loves the study aid, it doesn't feel like handling the tumor anymore.

It's not going in the wrong direction, it's going in the right direction for the examiner, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Then, the relationship between Kaiseki and Sol will change in a good direction for the demons, but it will not be known until a little while later.

In the meantime, Sol looked at Kaiseki while he was slightly tearful.

With that gaze, Kaiseki managed to laugh.

"Sorry, sorry. I don't think you're making a fool of me. I went in the right direction when Sol disappeared, so I don't think it's a good idea... but I don't think Sol is convinced."

With that in mind, I looked at the ceiling and thought about it. I continued to study with my hands together.

"Until now, the village had always been in a state of hugging in the mother's presence called Sol. It began to stand on its own by losing its parents. - Shouldn't I think so?

"Independent..."

Sol, who heard the words of the examiner, murmured as if he hadn't thought about it.

Before Sol left, there was a part of the village where, as Kaiseki said, she could be relied on somewhere.

Of course, those who evolved into higher demons were active in each field.

Still, the final decision was based on Sol's instructions.

By forcing Sol to leave the village, the demons began to run the village independently.

It could be said that it came in a good direction for the village.

However, the operation of the village, which is working well now, is not going to continue at this rate all the time.

"That's why. I wonder if Sol should look at the operation of the village as if his parents were watching over his children. However, if the child goes the wrong way, it is naturally the role of the parents to scold him."

Sol nodded with a serious face, adding that Kaiseki should be careful.

"I see. You're right."

Sol said so, and the other demons looked tight.

Sol was convinced by the words of the examiner.

If I say I will, I will do it.

The demons here are all those who know the horror of Sol's misfortune.

Sol, who hears the words of the examiner and has the determination in his heart, is by no means a disobedient being.

It is impossible for them to defy Sol, because they know it.

Resurrected from the depression, Sol started walking around the countryside with the demons.

The examiner also goes out with Kouhi while offering it to him.

The villages managed by the demons had changed over the decades from hunting and gathering settlements to farming villages.

Of course, there are many fields, and houses are built to ensure that the fields can be managed properly.

Then, it was impressive that the castle walls (like) were built in a simple way to protect those fields.

In an environment where monsters emerge, these walls are still a sine qua non for a stable life.

As an examiner who remembers the village in the early days, if it develops so much, an emotional feeling will also spring.

I've known Sol since he was alive as Gabo, so it's only natural.

Because even those who are now working as Sol's one arm were not there at the time.

Though you may not have seen through the thoughts of such an examiner, Sol turned his eyes to explore.

"- Anything?

"No, I can't believe I've changed this much. Compared to the time when Sol was Gabo, it was different, wasn't it?

Nowadays, the only person who can call Sol Gabo is Kaiseki.

Sometimes Sol does not allow himself to be called that, but there are fewer people who remember such a past.

Then, what Sol doesn't allow is not that he doesn't like the name Gabo, but rather that he cherishes it, so he doesn't allow him to call it anything other than examinations.

And he that remembereth his name among those around him shall never call it by the name of Gabo, because he perceiveth it.

For the first time in a long time, Sol, called by Gabo's name from Kaiseki, smiled after a moment of surprise.

That's right.

"This is definitely the result of Sol's hard work so far. I'll admit it, even if nobody admits it. - Well, can't I?

Kaosuke said so while looking at Sol with a playful smile on his face.

And Sol, who was looking at it, took a brief breath before answering.

"─ ─ Thank you very much. For me, it's more than anything else."

With that said, Sol lowered his head and responded only with a short "yes."
