Let's Manage The Tower

Epilogue (previous)

The shrine, where many goddesses live under Asla's control, is quite large.

I hardly know how wide the shrine actually is.

Until now, I had no special need to know, and Kaiseki thought that it was not necessary to know in the future.

If it is necessary, it is the stance of the assistant to ask at that time.

Kaiseki was walking towards a place with such a shrine.

The place is an unforgettable place for the examiner.

The assistant was aiming for the place not for himself, but because Ellis asked for something.

The examiner who found the goal of the request raised his right hand and said in a light tone.

"--- What are you doing here?

"Assistant examiner..."

Sitting on a rock that was memorable to Kaiseki, Ashra was the subject she was looking for at Ellis' request.

Asla, sitting on the rocks, had a lonely expression that she had seen for the first time since Kaiseki came to the world.

"Ellis said he wanted you to take a look because he wasn't feeling the same, but did something really happen?

Ashra's expression was enough to make the examiner say so.

And Asla immediately shook her neck to the left and right after she smiled a little.

"There's nothing special about it.... but even if you're a goddess, you just want to worry about something like this. Isn't that funny?"

"No way. If you say that, I'll always be weird, right?

When Asura told me to mix it up, she just smiled and said, "Yes."

Normally, I would say that I wanted you to deny it, but I didn't return the current exam.

I just sat next to Ashra silently.

And spend some time sitting on the rocks silently.

"... you're not asking me anything?"

"Hmm. If you want to talk to me, you're not going to tell me?

In the first place, I don't think my speech is excellent.

I think it would be better to just sit back and keep quiet than to cut out a strange story and return an extraordinary answer.

Asla silenced again as to whether the thoughts of the examiner were understood or whether she did not expect to be comforted by the talk.

If you don't like it, I know that you will tell me to leave clearly, so I kept silent about the examination as well.

After such a long time, I heard Asla speak with an unusual weak voice.

"--hey, do you want to keep the Central Continent independent and separate?

"... yes?

Ashra's question was too abrupt, and he finally returned it after ten seconds of free time.

I didn't really know what Asla was talking about.

Seeing the reaction of the examiner, Asla returned a slight smile.

"Yes, that's how the examiner reacts."

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but...?

Asla looked at the study aide who was seriously tilting her neck, and now smiled as usual, even though she was small.

"Oh, that doesn't sound like an exam aid. So far, I think there's been a lot of hints?

The examiner, who was told that it was unlikely, looked at Ashra who was still showing a weak spot in front of her and wondered what it meant.

It soon became clear that Asla had something to do with the dragon she met the other day.

In the first place, as you can see from the fact that the goddess was moving, Asla must have been somewhat involved.

However, that and the words Ashra said earlier are not immediately connected in the study aid.

For this reason, the examiner took a little time to start thinking.

As with the study aid earlier, Asla waited silently without saying anything.

Then, about five minutes after I started thinking, I remembered that there was an exam aid.

"That dragon was a family member, wasn't it?

"Yeah, that's right. More to the point, I was the first family member to summon you in the Tower. At first, it wasn't that annoying, but it looked like a little lizard."

"No, lizard."

"Oh, it's true. The name of the race on the tower was Lizard."

I was quite surprised to learn that the dragon was really a lizard, not a metaphor or anything.

I have no idea what will evolve into that creature.

Looking at the assistant student for a moment thinking about such a thing, Asla smiled.

"What are you looking like, other people? Nana's not like that."

"No, that's just too much, isn't it?

If Nana were to ask if she could fight that dragon, it would be quite difficult.

The opponent told me that it was tough to fight with that kouhi and mite.

That's right, Nana shouldn't have that much power, so Asla's way of saying it is a little exaggerated.

Asla shook her head small for the exam.

"That's not true. At least I think the exam will grow to that."

When I heard Ashra say that, I felt troubled without knowing whether it was okay to say that the exam aid was appreciated or whether it was too expected.

Seeing such an assistant look, Asla smiled as if she were her.

"Really, the exam will remain the same."

"Um?... thank you?

Having heard the answer of the examiner, Asla began to laugh really as usual this time.

Looking at Asla's smile sideways, Kaiseki began to talk about putting together his thoughts.

"The dragon was a family member of Ashra... and Ashra was also in charge of the tower. As you can see from that tower."

Yeah, yeah.

"If you think it's the same as me, I don't think Asla was a god at first."

That's true, too.

Aware of Asla's affirmation of her own words, Kaiseki took a moment to speak her last words.

"─ ─ That means that I can naturally separate the tower that I manage myself and manage it as a different world...?

Here, finally connected to Ashra's words earlier, Kaiseki turned to Ashra with a confirmatory face.

Then, looking at the assistant's face, Asla began to clap lightly while answering "correct".
