Kousuke thought to himself, [Wait a minute…] but was unable to stop the automatic process as it was already underway.
He didn’t know exactly what had happened, just that an announcement was made, but it was definitely another cause for concern.
The process itself was over quickly, and the registration at the Southwest Tower was complete.
He immediately checked the control panel to check what happened, but couldn’t find out much.
The only thing that seemed to have changed was that the Southwest Tower now belonged to Amamiya Tower.
It seems that a constant amount of Divine Power was being sent to Amamiya Tower.
Incidentally, the amount could be a percentage of the Divine Power earned, so that it would not leave the Southwest Tower with negative Divine Power.
In the first place, Kousuke planned on sending Divine Power from Amamiya Tower to manage it, but if he could earn Divine Power from the Southwest Tower independently, they wouldn’t have to go through all that trouble.
Currently, the South Tower has a surplus of Divine Power and was in the process of sending Divine Power to Amamiya Tower daily, but that seemed no longer necessary.
Kousuke checked to see if there were any other changes, but he couldn’t find anything, so he decided to head back to Amamiya Tower.
“Oh. Kousuke, you’re back.”
When Kousuke returned to the control level of Amamiya Tower, he was greeted by Shrein.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“No, I was in the North Tower and received a message that the Southwest Tower had been conquered, so I just thought I’d wait here.”
In all of the 6 Towers we’ve conquered so far, the conquered message came to Amamiya Tower.
It seems to be a routine functionality of the Tower that when one of the Towers has been conquered, a message would automatically be sent to all the Towers.
“Oh? So, does that mean the North Tower is now under your control, Shrein?”
“Under control? Under my control?”
Just as Kousuke was about to explain to the head-tilting Shrein, an intruder arrived.
“Kousuke, the South Tower is now under control of this Tower, what does that mean?”
It was Colette.
With that, Peach, Silvia and Floria also returned.
When she heard Colette’s words, Shrein nodded her head again.
Kousuke thought about explaining it to her, but before he could, the others started explaining it to her, so he was able to confirm that the situation was the same as in the Southwest Tower.
In addition, the Title ‘Champion of the Continent’ didn’t seem to be in the messages either. It was only mentioned that the Southwest Tower had been conquered.
However, whether this was due to the fact that the Tower was under Amamiya’s control, or whether the message was the same for all Towers, could not be confirmed.
Kousuke hoped that it was the latter, but there was no way for him to confirm this.
When he had finished explaining to Shrein, all eyes were now on Kousuke.
“No, I don’t really understand it either. The Southwest Tower looked the same, so I came here to check it out.”
“I see. Well, I’ll go check the North Tower to see if it’s in the same condition… I’ll be right back.”
Shrein said, and headed towards the transfer gate.
The other members decided to go to the control room of Amamiya Tower to see if there were any changes there.
Shrein returned soon after.
She knew exactly what she needed to check from what she had heard from the other members, so she quickly finished up and came back.
“The North Tower was in the same state as the other Towers. What about this one?”
While Shrein was at the north Tower, Kousuke finished his checks at Amamiya Tower.
“I’ve figured out a few things, so I’m just going to summarize them for you.”
Starting with Kousuke’s words, a number of changes were confirmed.
First, the ability to collect Divine Power from the other 6 Towers to Amamiya Tower.
This was the same as what Kousuke had confirmed in the Southwest Tower, but there was something additional that was learned.
The collection of divine power was done from the Divine Power earned that day in each Tower.
A percentage can be set in Amamiya Tower.
The percentage could be anywhere from 10% at the lowest to 90% at the highest.
The next point was about the control of the Towers.
Even if someone other than Kousuke could conquer the 6 surrounding Towers, the conqueror would have no control over the Towers.
On the other hand, if Amamiya Tower is captured, the person who captures Amamiya Tower can control the other 6 Towers.
In short, once Amamiya Tower is conquered, the other 6 Towers would automatically be obtained.
“…I see. I don’t think there’s anyone who can conquer this Tower at the moment, so there’s no need to worry too much about it.”
It was Shrein who said this, and the others nodded in agreement.
In addition, the usage of the transfer gate can be checked from the control panel, so it is almost impossible to capture this Tower by surprise.
It might be possible if they could get directly to the control layer using teleportation magic.
There was no one here who knew of such technology, though.
There was one more thing about the transfer gates.
It was now possible to travel to any of the gates in the other Towers from the gates on the control floor of Amamiya Tower.
This was even more convenient than the original transfer gates in Amamiya Tower, which could be freely accessed.
The last one was regarding the control floor of each Tower, which could be combined with the control floor of Amamiya Tower.
“Does that mean we don’t have to go all that way to the transfer gate?”
“Maybe. I’m going to try it immediately, okay?”
When Kousuke confirmed, they all simultaneously nodded.
They decided to try combining the control floor of the Shrein’s North Tower.
The process was simple, just select the Tower you want to move the control floor of and choose where to attach it to.
Naturally, it would require Divine Power, but it did not cost much.
We decided to install the control room of the North Tower next to the control room of Amamiya Tower.
The process itself was completed silently.
At the same time, a door was added to the control room of Amamiya Tower that had never been there before.
As the representative, Shrein opened the door and found that the control room of the North Tower had been successfully attached to it.
The reason why she knew it was the control floor of the North Tower was because she confirmed it from the control panel.
The room next to the control room of Amamiya Tower was the control room of the North Tower, with a transfer gate installed at the back of the room.
“I’m going to have to figure out a better layout for this…”
Kyousuke murmured. The remaining 5 Towers have their own control floors, so it would be troublesome to place them in a nice and orderly manner.
So, he decided to have the people who would actually use the control layer decide.
“Ah, I forgot, Floria will be in charge of the Southwest Tower.”
“What?!”
Floria was taken aback by the sudden declaration.
“Eh…! Are you sure?”
“On the contrary, is there any reason why you shouldn’t?”
Kousuke thought that it would be better to leave Floria with something to do now.
It was for this reason that he had bothered to conquer the first 2 Towers with her in order to build a friendship with her.
Since he was getting used to the other members, he thought it would be okay to leave one of the Towers to them.
“No, no, no…?”
Florias head was spinning, but Silvia patted her on the shoulder.
“Give up. If Kousuke said so, then it has already been decided.”
Everyone except Kousuke nodded at Silvia’s words.
“That would be rude. I’m not going to make you do it if you don’t want to.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to…”
“If you don’t mind. Good. Then I’ll leave you in charge of the Southwest Tower.”
“Yeah.”
Although she felt that Kousuke had somehow pushed her into it, in the end Floria agreed with him.
She was aware that she hadn’t been doing anything on the control floor to begin with, so she was rather relieved to be given the job.
She still felt that she was in a different class from the others, so it was hard for her to come forward.
Thanks to Kousuke’s suggestion, it was just right for Floria.
It’s not that Kosuke was blind to the fact that Floria had such a desire.
It was simply that the number of Towers he had to manage had increased, and Floria was the only person he could entrust with the job.
[I had already decided to entrust the task to Floria when I originally decided to conquer the surrounding Towers.]
The problem was who to entrust the Northwest Tower to, but he already had a plan for that.
For now, they had just decided on the managers of the 5 Towers, and how they were going to manage the Towers in the future.
