Let's Manage The Tower

(6) Self-satisfaction with the assessment

It wasn't just a hobby that the examiner made a strange face.

As I explained to Colette and Peach, I made it out of expensive ingredients to try to dehikikomori.

Therefore, Kaiseki walked around the fifth tier to fulfill the Alliance's request with Nana on this day, so as not to waste the face made by the corner.

The request received by the examiner this time was for herbal sampling.

Yes, it's a classic request for beginner adventurers.

Speaking of why such a thing is being assisted, we have rebuilt a new crown card, so we are making a request that matches the rank (F).

And two hours after I left town.

It is normal to collect materials in the tower while somehow saying it. The examiner arrived at the destination without showing any particular tiredness.

"Well... it should be around here, but what do you think?

When Kaiseki said such a thing and looked around, Nana, who had arrived firmly this time, ran away.

"Ah. Ah..."

The assistant who understood the meaning of Nana's behavior smiled immediately after making a slightly unfortunate expression.

Nana ran away knowing that Kaisuke was looking for medicinal herbs, and naturally there should be such medicinal herbs in the place where Nana is desperately shaking her tail to appeal.

The study aid that was trying to achieve the goal with his own power will be in the form of being disturbed, but I can't blame Nana.

I didn't properly instruct Nana not to look for it from the beginning, and the exam aid was bad.

The approaching examiner, who had Nana's head pointed straight at him when he didn't take the medicinal herb, took the medicinal herb on the spot.

Of course, instead of collecting everything, I'll take care of the rest.

Nana, who was watching the movement of the examiner, now waved her tail satisfactorily.

Since herbal harvesting is a request that will be accepted as much as possible, I decided to continue searching for it.

Now, I told Nana not to make mistakes like the one I just made, and now I told Nana that I would look for it.

Naturally, Nana followed the instructions and came honestly behind the study aid.

... I was here...

"Coon..."

I endured the lonely voice that came from behind me several times, and Kaiseki was about to break his heart.

If you spoil Nana here, it will be wasted if you decide to find her by yourself.

With that in mind, I was looking hard for medicinal herbs, but I finally lost my temper to Nana's sweet voice.

"Nana, do you really want to find it yourself?... what is that?

When Kaiseki asked, Nana shook her neck to the left and right.

Nana finally turned her nose to the ground.

Seeing what was on the spot, Kaiseki crouched down to the spot.

"... is that what you mean?"

There was a small herbal dough at the tip of Nana's nose.

After seeing that, Kaiseki finally understood the meaning of Nana's lonely voice from earlier.

Nana's voice, which I heard several times, told me that she was passing through the swarm.

And when I realized that I had missed it many times, I was stunned.

The examiner gazed at Nana's head with an unfortunate gaze.

"No, yeah. It's not Nana's fault, you don't have to look like that."

"Coon...?"

Nana looks up and repeats, "Really, really."

Not to make Nana feel angry, but Kaiseki saw Mitsuki arrive with her instead.

"... if you want to laugh, you can laugh.

"Oh, no, yeah. It's not that strange..."

Kaiseki glanced at Mitsuki who said that.

The eyes are perfectly clear while holding down the mouth, so whoever looks at them can only see the laughter.

As the examiner continued to look at it with a jerky eye, Mitsuki finally burst out laughing.

And after laughing for a moment, I told Kaiseki.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But maybe Kaiseki is mistaken.

Yes?

Mitsuki went on to explain how to lean his neck without understanding the meaning.

"I didn't laugh at what the herbs couldn't find, but I enjoyed interacting with Nana."

The examiner who heard the dialog laughed bitterly after convincing him.

Indeed, Kaiseki thought that the current interaction with Nana would have been interesting to him.

Of course, from the perspective of a third party,

Nana's kindness (?) The assistant who lost the exam decided to find herbs alone in a completely remote place.

As a result, Mitsuki laughed at me, so I used it as a shield and removed Mitsuki from the guard.

Rather, she told Nana to stay by Mitsuki all the time and told Mitsuki not to move from the spot.

At first, Mitsuki was reluctant, so he promised not to leave more than the invisible range, and managed to take the form now.

That way, you can roll over the field for an hour.

At last, the examiner was able to find the object of interest.

"Alright, I finally found it!... it's really small."

Kaiseki gazed at the herbal colony at his feet.

There, medicinal herbs were well grown within a straight line of about ten centimeters.

"... Mmm. I wonder if I can take this..."

It was a study aid that had been bothering me for a while, but in the end I decided to pull out only one share.

I'm not good at searching, but the sampling itself is going on a lot, so Kaiseki, who collected only one strain of medicinal herb, immediately called Mitsuki and Nana.

Even though he and I were quite far apart, they quickly rushed to the study assistant.

"Looks like you found it."

Well, I don't know.

Mitsuki tilted his neck toward Kaiseki, who looked like he had bitten a bitter bug.

"Oh, what's wrong?

"Uh, no. Yeah, I figured I'd leave what I'm good at to him. It's not a person this time, it's a wolf."

When Kaisuke looked at Nana and said so, Nana, who understood that it was her, began to shake her tail with momentum.

Seeing it, Kaiseki, who smiled bitterly again, began to stroke Nana's head.

"That's why the time for complacency is over. Let's go hunt down monsters next!

Mitsuki murmured with a small voice that neither of them could hear when she saw Nana shaking her tail and declared so eloquently.

"I wonder if you're okay..."
