Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Yukino's grandfather leaves the house again as soon as he puts the mountain walking gear on the doorstep.She seemed to be slightly depressed, but she immediately raised her face as if to recover her mind, and proceeded through the village with a purposeful footsteps.Explorers in multiple locations follow their movements from the spot.

Yukino's grandfather was on his way, apparently to the settlement's meeting point.My grandfather's face gathered the gaze of the old people inside.

Oh, Yoshi-san? how do you like it...... I wonder if you can tell by the look on your face...... ”

Neither am I. I tried to get into the mountains to the extent that I could, but...

Yukino's grandfather is greeted by the elderly people of the village.

{That's right. I went into the back of the mountain near the stone tablet, and from there I went down the river from upstream to downstream... but there was no trace of it.Yukino and Kotaro... of course, so did Uta, who disappeared last night... and the traces of other children. "

When Yukino's grandfather says that, they shake their clothes unfortunately.Since Yukino left the village, there hasn't even been a child named Uta.Yukino was breathing beside him when his name came out.

”Don't be too distracted, Yoshikane-san.I haven't heard the details since I've been in bed with a cold for the last few days, but Yukino-chan is likely to be safe, right? ”

Yukino's brother is Kotaro... his grandfather's name is Yoshikane.

Thus saith Joshkane, Close your eyes, and answer.

{You're safe...? Not in the woods, but most likely down the mountain.It may cause unexpected inconvenience to everyone...... "

{Write it down... I thought you were going to find a way to help me.Yukino-chan was a good-looking girl.I may have noticed something. "

That's not the way we want it, is it?

The expressions of the old people in the village don't come to mind.Looks like we're still searching, investigating, and talking about the forest, but the results don't look good... and there's a part where Yukino worries about leaking information outside.

Even though the village has always been quiet and peaceful, why did this happen?

For now about Yukino-chan... the other kids... are going to be that way in the woods after all.

I wonder what that is. I think Yukino saw it.When Kotaro disappeared, he was quite confused, but he said that his white hand had stretched out from the darkness of the ceiling. ”

Yoshikane answers. I found that everyone listening to the exchange through the crystal plate stepped forward in the flow of the conversation.

That way in the woods. The words are suspended, but it's about "Kagiri-sama."I don't think you should call me by name.

Don't you know what that is?

I went to talk to Miki's grandmother because she seemed to be feeling well... but it seems that the same thing happened a long time ago.

What happened then?

It was before my grandmother was born.It's a rumor, but after all, some children are gone.It seems that not all children were...... ”

A child... huh? You mean it's not just a child?

"It seems so. Mainly children are not the same as legends."Besides... I wonder if there are any conditions to being chosen. ”

The Lord chooses children to take with him.There might be some kind of condition, not just for children...

What's clear is... it doesn't matter if you go into the forest or not.

Yoshikane said as he framed his arms.

That's right. The forest and here are in the same mountains in the first place.It might not make a difference to that person. "

And in some cases, besides the children, they may be gone.

What did you say about that guy?

My grandmother also said that it would be better if we didn't go deeper...

At that point, a heavy silence fell inside the meeting place.It doesn't matter if you don't go into the forest, it's not just for children, and it's not clear who will be in hiding... then the situation will be worse.

The important thing is... how did you settle down before?

I heard that the old lady would have settled down if we had all prayed together...... so whether it really worked or not.

Literally nothing but a request from God.

"Is it because of the past and the future?"what's going to happen...... ”

That said, they were all sighing.The old karma is about Kagiri-sama.What will happen from now on is the change caused by the trend of Yukino and those who have been hidden by God?

"The response of awe and awe and doing nothing with your mouth shut up... maybe it was a passive solution because the legend had broken down and I didn't know the specifics anymore."

“Well, I don't think it's unusual to deal with something that's of that nature.I don't know if it's something that's out of hand for the surgeon... but if it exists, there are families that worship it. "

Isn't that who you are, Miki?

Yukino shakes her head when Yukino asks after a conversation between me and Yuki Emperor.

"No. I'm the oldest and most knowledgeable person..."

"Hmm. It's unknown that the legend has been broken off and the family members who had knowledge..."In a closed environment, it remains. "

You say it. It's compelling to say it's on the faithful side of the long lifespan.

The meeting was adjourned at the meeting point with a report and consultation.

Since no new information is likely to emerge at first, we will discuss further what we have learned and future policies while checking the trends and conditions in the village.

There are a few things that have come to light.

It seems that some kind of condition is important.Isn't it connected to the part that represents the nature of the opponent? "

Claudia thoughtfully replied to Grace's words.

"Sure. If we can clarify the terms... maybe that will help us resolve the situation or end it."

Yukino seemed to be thinking about our interaction with her eyes looking a little further away.I think he's trying to find the common items of the missing faces.However, even if the elderly people from the village gathered together, they wouldn't understand.It would be difficult for Yukino to arrive at the right answer as soon as he thought about it here.Since it is not more than a conjecture, I can only pay attention to that area at the moment.

There was also talk that some people had been newly concealed.

"It's freezing," says Kuni. Uta, did you say that?

"Uta-chan... is still a village girl"

Were you close to the children you hid?

“No, I don't think there was much interaction.Besides, before the turmoil, he probably never even entered the forest.Because... a sick and weak child barely got out of the house.At that time, I had AC, and when I got a fever, I often prescribed medicine..... "

Yukino's expression was cloudy when he spoke about Uta.

That's... I'm sure you're worried.The reaction when the name came up is also muffled.

{But when that happens... I don't know what the conditions are anymore.It doesn't matter if you go into the forest or not.If you think you're following a close edge to a child hidden in a mystery, that's not true. "

If the family lineage is selected around the bloodline... of course, it would be a bone breaker to investigate the facts of the relationship even if the person involved is an outsider.

That's what Prince Josiah said.That's right... If it's a blood feud, I can't do it without the documents.Even so, they are all relatives of the village, and if they do, everyone could be chosen.

In addition, if the documents were burned down by fire, it would be very difficult to trace the identity from the information in the village.
