Let’s Manage the Tower - Volume 16 Chapter 6

Volume 16 Chapter 6, A New Species of Wolf

Kousuke was taking a nap on the sofa in the Administration Floor’s lounge, taking a break from creating golems and working on the management of Amamiya Tower.

Mitsuki was by his side and none of the other members were around.

Mitsuki noticed someone and turned her gaze from Kousuke to that direction for a moment, but then immediately returned her gaze back to him.

It was coming towards Kousuke, but she determined that it did not pose any risk.

Mitsuki saw that the white lump approached the sofa where Kousuke was sleeping in a straight line and softly jumped onto the space that Kousuke was not taking up.

After confirming that Kousuke was not awake, it gently placed its four legs on top of Kousuke’s body.

Mitsuki, who was watching this whole thing, was just watching what the white lump was doing, amusedly.

The white lump, which was completely on Kousuke’s body, approached Kousuke’s face and licked his cheek.

“Whoa…!?”

Surprised by the feeling of being licked on the cheek, Kousuke raised his upper body with a gasp, but Nana, who was on top of Kousuke, landed firmly by Kousuke’s feet without showing any signs of panic.

“Wafu…!”

With that squeal, Kousuke noticed the white mass at his feet.

“Nana…?”

What surprised Kousuke was the size of the thing.

No matter how you looked at it, it was only the size of a small dog.

“Wao…!”

Nana shook her head in affirmation.

“Whoa. Seriously. That’s insanely cute. I like your normal size, though.”

Kousuke reached out his hand towards the miniaturized Nana, and Nana jumped at him happily.

Unlike normally, he was able to catch her without much of a shock.

Kousuke raised his body up again and lay down on the sofa.

Nana started to lick Kousuke’s face happily.

Kousuke was also happily enjoying himself as Nana licked his face and wriggled her small body.

After they had had their fill of fun for a while, Kousuke asked Nana.

“So? What’s wrong with you today?”

“Wafu!”

Kousuke asked in his usual tone, but unfortunately, Collete and Shrein who could communicate with Nana were not around at the moment, so he couldn’t hear what she had to say.

Just when Kousuke was thinking of calling one of them, Nana let out a single howl.

“Awooon!”

In response to her voice, two shadows jumped in from the direction Nana had come from.

For a moment Kousuke braced himself, but as soon as he realized that the shadows were two wolves, he let his guard down.

There was no need to be alarmed, though, because Mitsuki, who was standing beside him, didn’t react first.

Seeing the two wolves coming in, Kousuke immediately petted them on the neck.

“It’s unusual for you to bring someone over here. What’s going on?”

“Wafu?”

Kousuke asked Nana and Nana responded, but unfortunately, just like before, there was no interpreter, so he couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Kousuke could see spirits, but he still couldn’t master <spirit language>.

Collete was also puzzled by this, but it was something that couldn’t be done.

Kousuke thought about calling Collete, but before he did, he suddenly thought of checking the status of the wolves that Nana had brought with her.

Title: Kin of Kousuke, Favorite of the Earth Spirit Goddess of the Great Goddess Clan

Both of them had changed their race from when he last checked them.

Both Eir and Mielle must have originally been white wolf leaders.

Although he didn’t remember the races of all the other members of the Kin, he vaguely remembered the white wolf leaders because there were so few of them.

It was not that he was not taking notes, but he was properly keeping track of them.

It seemed that these two creatures had evolved.

He was curious about the <Proof of King> and <Proof of Queen> among the blessing skills, but he was more curious about the <Favorite of Wind Spirit Goddess> and <Favorite of Earth Spirit Goddess>.

These titles must be related to the goddesses, no matter how one thinks about it.

It was completely unclear what effect a label like <Favorite> would have.

He thought about asking Jal immediately, but decided not to do so.

He had a feeling that if he tried to communicate with Jal about this, it would be a disaster.

He decided to trust his instincts and stop relying on the Goddesses and stop looking into the matter of favorites.

He decided that if it was something that he really needed to know about, there was no point poking about because the other side would tell him.

While he was considering this, Collete came back from the control room of the South Tower.

“Oh, Nana, you’re here… You’re so cute!”

Collete immediately noticed the little wolf version of Nana, but was shocked by her appearance and began petting her as quickly as possible.

Collete had no desire to touch the Great Wolf Goddess version of Nana.

She had always been in awe of the Great Wolf God, which she had heard about as a fairy tale since she was a child.

As she was being petted, Nana made a gesture as if she was appealing to Collete, who could understand her.

“It seems like they came all this way just to introduce you to these two?”

“Ah, yes. Tell them it’s okay because I’ve already figured it out somehow.”

Kousuke’s words were understood by Nana, who had <Language Understanding (Kin) >, but it was better to use words that could be easily understood.

“Is that so?”

“It appears that they’ve become part of a race known as the White Wolf King and White Wolf Queen.”

“What’s that?”

Collete tilted her head, as if it was the first time she had heard the name.

“I’m not sure. It looks like the Goddesses are involved, but if I poke around too much, there might be something else going on, so I decided not to worry about it.”

What an odd way to put it, but Collete didn’t say anything in response, just shrugged her shoulders.

“Oh. What a shame.”

“I can’t believe it, Kousuke is getting this sharp. It was as if he knew what was going to happen and avoided it.”

Jal said, looking at the two disappointed Goddesses.

“Must be his Intuition.”

“Really? Well, with all the things we’ve done, I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps getting more and more perceptive.”

“He is growing?”

“Well, I wonder about that… We don’t even know what kind of existence the current Goddesses are going to become in this world in the first place.”

The two Goddesses stared at Jal as she said this.

“Don’t stare at me like that, okay? A promise is a promise, you know? I can’t help you any more than this. Those two creatures were only able to evolve and form a connection to you two because they met the conditions in the first place.”

“What a bummer.”

“You’re right.”

The two Goddesses revealed their disappointment at Jal’s words, which were announced without hesitation.

“You guys should be able to interfere to some extent without having to go through Kousuke.”

Jal said, a little dumbfounded.

“Pointless.”

“Right. That would be pointless.”

“Well, okay. That’s it for this time. We’ll talk more next time.”

“But, this is just…”

” I concur.”

“What’s not good enough, you don’t want Asura-sama glaring at you, do you?”

Jal said, and the two Goddesses snapped their mouths shut.
