Tower of God (神之塔 -Tower of God-)

Jahad, the king of the tower.

The first man to climb it.

The great king who built the kingdom we live in.

And the women granted a special boon by Jahad

are known as the Princesses of Jahad.

The princesses gathered from all over the tower

are not Jahad's biological children, and are unrelated by blood.

Once they are granted Jahad's power, certain acts are forbidden to them.

They may not have intercourse or bear a child.

It is to prevent the spread of the power they inherited.

The princesses are shoes on display in the king's showcase.

Beautiful, but never to be worn by anyone.

But in rare cases, the shoes sometimes jump out of the case on their own.

You found a pretty jewel.

My little princess...

You seem to have the wrong idea.

It was your mom who broke the agreement.

Shut up!

Having you and spreading

the power she received from the king was the greatest of crimes.

A crime? Ridiculous!

Of course you think that.

As someone who's never experienced hardship, you wouldn't understand.

I've never experienced hardship?

Don't be ridiculous!

Isn't it true?

You acquired power simply by being born as Anaak's child!

I worked really hard to become a Princess of Jahad!

Really? Good for you, then.

Later, hag!

H-Help me!

If I fall, I'll die!

Let go!

Please, my only niece!

I've got plenty of other aunts!

Ow!

Die!

Come with me, my niece!

Damn it!

The game is over.

This sucks!

This is definitely broken!

Shut up, idiot.

If this leaves a single scar on my beautiful legs, I'll hate you forever!

Your beautiful legs?

Don't you mean your thick trunks, hag?

Hag?! How could you call such an insane beauty a hag?!

Stop screaming. I can feel it in my wounds.

Hey.

What?

About your mother—

Why do you care about her?

Don't try to start a fight with me.

She was kind of nice to me when I first became a princess.

Tell me.

Did she ever regret what she did?

Listen closely.

Whatever you do, don't let go of that man's hand.

I'll follow you soon, okay?

Be good.

Don't cry. You're a good girl.

Here.

There.

Go on.

That's enough!

If you don't behave, I'll get angry!

Is this for me?

Probably not.

I'm sorry.

I'm always fighting with Dad.

I don't mind. Keep fighting.

Huh?

When you fight, Dad makes chicken pie.

Oh, my...

That's what I believe.

Huh...

You've made considerable progress.

Thank you.

You, too, Lozeal.

Thank you.

Next, Bam and Grey.

Okay.

Bam...

Your control is a bit lacking, but you're not bad.

Thank you.

Next, Grey.

Lauroe!

I can finally hit the balloon now.

It's all thanks to you.

Thanks to Lauroe?

Yes.

He taught me the trick to doing it.

Huh?

I owed him a favor after yesterday.

What? Your pillow?

I think it's over there.

You want me to be the tower's poster girl?

I know, I know...

This pillow is tainted.

Lauroe?

My restful sleep...

It's a makeshift solution, but you can use this for today.

I'll wash this one.

I see.

Hey, Bam!

Khun!

Have you heard?

Heard what?

How uncharacteristic of you, Lauroe.

To help a rival.

Is that so wrong?

Extending a helping hand to the weak, right?

Not at all.

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

Damn it!

Endorsi and Anaak?

Yeah. They fought during class yesterday and ended up seriously injured.

Fought? But they're both Princesses of Jahad.

They fight because they're both princesses.

They're deeply indebted to powerful rulers.

Apparently, their relationship was complicated from the start.

Either way, they're incredibly stupid.

Incredibly stupid? I wouldn't say that.

To advance through the tower's tests,

you have to take someone else down.

Self-destructing when you're blessed with so much power

is nothing less than stupid.

But...

It's sad to see an acquaintance drop out, isn't it?

Shibisu!

If someone you were close to, especially me,

were to disappear, it'd be especially sad!

Is your friend-making not going well?

Make ten friends within one week.

You're almost there.

The deadline is today!

There's no time left!

Sorry. It's my fault.

Don't be so standoffish!

We're friends, aren't we?

Is there anything we can do?

Bam?

Were you listening?

The tower's tests are fiercely competitive.

I know, but I don't want to lose the friends I've made.

Bam!

Besides, aren't friends the people who come to your aid when you're in trouble?

Did Rachel teach you that, too?

Yeah.

Let's go, guys.

Huh?

It's showtime.

My medical expenses cost me all the points I'd earned.

Now I'll starve to death before the next test.

I wish someone overcome by my beauty would come to offer a helping hand.

No way!

We brought you some food. Can we come in?

P-Please!

I'm such a sinful woman.

Huh?

We heard you were in trouble.

Then hand it over!

But you said there can be no friendship between a man and a woman.

Yeah.

Since a Princess of Jahad was so insistent on that point,

we thought you wouldn't accept our food if we offered it to you normally.

So...

You want me to write my name on these?

If you do, we'll bring you food every day until this test is over.

A Princess of Jahad would never accept that deal.

W-We'd be happy if you ate with us every day, too.

Huh?

Right, Hatz?

Sh-Sharing a meal with a most beauteous princess would be a dream.

Seriously? Just so you know, I only eat special lunches!

I won't accept your pity.

Then you can starve.

You idiot, Hatz!

Let's wait to fight until you're feeling better.

Today's special is a delicious chicken pie.

We did it.

I told you so.

Seriously, thank you.

You saved my life.

I won't forget this.

Hey, I'm the one who came up with the plan.

I even wrote a script for you inarticulate oafs.

I understand now that you have no talent for writing, Earrings.

Excuse me?!

"Most beauteous princess"? How embarrassing.
