The maid doll, who was staring at the dimly shining wall, inclined her head.

There were no big problems in the progress of the Sword Saint selection, and there were no subjects that should be dealt with urgently. However, several points to worry about existed. Even if it wasnโ€™t enough to remove them one by one, if they piled up too much, it becomes a problem with that.

This place was the towerโ€™s basement. ๐—ณ๐˜ณ๐že๐™ฌ๐™š๐š‹๐—ป๐š˜๐šŸ๐—ฒl.๐‘๐‘œ๏ฝ

It was a room made of stone about 10 meters in every direction, with one side opened wide. From there, you were able to confirm the canyon, and the figures of the Devil and its kin. This room existed on the cliffโ€™s edge.

Though the moonlight entered, the interior of the room was dim. However, the image projected onto the surface of the wall was dimly illuminating the area. Information about the towerโ€™s inside and barrier was indicated on that.

This place was the center that controlled the entirety of the tower, and was the place that became the cornerstone of the Devil-sealing barrier.

โ€œWhat kind of thing is it?โ€ (Sword Saint)

In that place, an old manโ€”the Sword Saintโ€”appeared.

โ€œThe process of the selection is favorable. But, there are several parts to worry about. First of all is the situation outside of the first barrier. Movements of several people were observed. The particulars are unknown.โ€ (Maid)

The first barrier was a large structure which covered the towerโ€™s circumference, concealing the tower and the Devil.

There was no way to perceive the barrier from inside to outside, and observation of the circumferenceโ€™s state of affairs was done by means of periodic reconnaissance. Automatic dolls similar to the maid dolls were being sent in, but nothing was known beyond that there were people wandering around in the surroundings.

โ€œThereโ€™s no choice but to look at the situation. It also could be that someoneโ€™s just passing through.โ€ (Sword Saint)

But, there wasnโ€™t someone thatโ€™d come to the canyon, which was separated from human habitation, with no intentions. It seemed that there was a need for vigilance.

โ€œNext, is within the tower: the deceased on the first day are more than usual. A large part of this is due to Teresa-samaโ€”the roaring swordswoman.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œI was able to expect that itโ€™d result in this when she was mixed. But at any rate, just about everyone will die. Itโ€™ll be sooner or later.โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œWhy wonโ€™t you kill everyone at once?โ€ (Maid)

The maid doll asked what she had been wondering about from before.

Souls were necessary to maintain the barrier, and it was necessary for people to die inside the tower to obtain souls. If it wasnโ€™t indirect, then he should have massacred everyone when they entered the tower.

โ€œThatโ€™s simple. Itโ€™s because the Sword Saint selection is real. There are too many people who die in the selection, so itโ€™s just right to maintain the barrier. So? I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s more problems than usual.โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œTeresa-sama died.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œYou donโ€™t care about who dies, do you?โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œNo, I donโ€™t. But, the readings donโ€™t match. What appears to be Teresa-sama isnโ€™t included in the spirits that were collected.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆHmm. If her death is real, she may have turned into a ghost before the tower absorbed her.โ€ (Sword Saint)

If soul was the energy to drive the body, it was said that spirit was the command tower governing the mind. Both diffused after death, but there was a possibility that the spirit remained as it was, which happened in the cases of high-ranking magicians and swordsmen.

โ€œTeresa-samaโ€™s corpse is being checked, but the cause of death isnโ€™t known.โ€ (Maid)

The current state of the tower could be known in this room, but incidents that happened in the past couldnโ€™t be grasped.

โ€œFor now, there is a surplus in the spirit amount needed to maintain the barrier. But, if similar things occur again and again from now on, it might get dangerous.โ€ (Maid)

A good quality spirit could boost the force of the soul many fold. It was an essential element to maintain the barrier.

โ€œThere are several years worth of savings at the present time. It isnโ€™t a problem right now.โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œRather, the problem is probably the yorishiro. It will reach its limit before long. This also isnโ€™t โ€˜necessaryโ€™ right now, but it seems like the spare is a little unreliable with three people.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œHmm. Come to think of it, there was someone who used magic proudly. Canโ€™t we use them?โ€ (Sword Saint)

What the Sword Saint was talking about was the girl who fired her magic at the Devil on the rooftop.

The maid doll checked the girlโ€™s current position.

The girl was resting on the 80th floor. The tower consisted of 100 floors, and she was still far from the 1st floor, but it seemed she was clearing the trial favorably.

โ€œWhat shall we do?โ€ (Maid)

โ€œContinue the selection for the time being, but recover her when it looks like sheโ€™ll die. Sheโ€™ll be useful if she lives. So, any other points that worry you?โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œYes. There was an intruder into the tower due to a summon technique.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œThat feels pretty important, but is it enough to worry about?โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œYes. What was summoned was the body of a woman who doesnโ€™t have any power in particular, and the practitioner amounts to sexual activity.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œThey have a lot of nerve. In this situation, to summon her for such a thing.โ€ (Sword Saint)

The Sword Saint said, as though in admiration. Summoning wasnโ€™t something that could be done simply like that, it required enormous magical power. He probably hadnโ€™t imagined that it would be used for only letting out sexual desire.

โ€œThere is one more point to worry about inside the tower. Master is among the candidates.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œHmm? Your master is me, right?โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œNo. It is Grand Sorcerer Igleshia-sama, my creator.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œThat guy, he fought the devil a thousand years ago, didnโ€™t he? Heโ€™s still alive?โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œThe particulars arenโ€™t known, but I cannot mistake Master for someone else.โ€ (Maid)

โ€œI wonโ€™t say โ€˜I refuseโ€™ to those who come. Do they know that itโ€™s the selection of the Sword Saint, those guys?โ€ (Sword Saint)

The Sword Saint said, as if amazed.

From what the maid doll saw, those who could be called โ€œgenuine swordsmenโ€ among the candidates were half. If they had ability, there were no problems no matter what their background was, but it would be troubling if they werenโ€™t able to use a sword, despite being called the Sword Saint.

โ€œLastly, about the Devilโ€™s kin. An unique individual is trying to slip out of the second barrier. The estimated time that theyโ€™ll break through the boundary is noon three days from now.โ€ (Maid)

What was sealing the Devil was the second barrier, and the central part, where the Devil was, was the most effective. And the effect became thinner the more you were separated from the center. In other words, the kin in the surroundings would slip out from the barrier sooner or later.

For that reason, the Sword Saint hadnโ€™t been able to leave the tower for a long time. It was because the duty of the Sword Saint was to kill the kin that appeared now and then.

โ€œShould I let it be defeated by the candidates? They can try to defeat the kin and play the role of Sword Saint or something.โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œIt seems troublesome, doesnโ€™t it?โ€ (Maid)

โ€œWe have so many people, right? What will be done without using them.โ€ (Sword Saint)

โ€œWho do I need to take into consideration?โ€ (Maid)

โ€œSomewhat useful people who will die in the trial.โ€ (Sword Saint)

The Sword Saint went towards the largly-made aperture. The maid doll stood next to him.

What the Sword Saint was observing, was the space where the canyon was spherically hollowed out. In the center, there was the Devil and the Holy Queen.

And, in the surroundings were all the kin who had fought together with the Devil.

Their movement wasnโ€™t to the degree that it was seen by the eye. However, they were certainly approaching here.

โ€œA human type? Thatโ€™s troubling.โ€ (Sword Saint)

The Sword Saint *murmur* muttered.

It was smiling.

It, which was approaching here the most, was something in the shape of a person.
