Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

A group of people walk along the mountain road. Through the lush trees, you can see the villages where the Yukinos were born and grew up. At the same time, the young man who was about to enter the mountains hardened when he saw Yukino and the others who came from the back of the forest, and he also had a look of surprise.

”Yukino-chan...! Kotaro and the others...!”

"Oh, who are you with...?" What about the other kids?

I was relieved to see that Yukino, Kotaro, and Uta were safe, but the ichiemons who were accompanying me were still worried. I stopped a short distance away, and when Ichiemon, Tadakuni, and Mildred bowed, they seemed a little distracted.

Oh, did you guys help me...?

Is there any problem if you think of me as Lord Yukino's ally?

Of course, I'm not going to do you any harm.

Yes, Ichiemon and Tadakuni responded. Even though they were out of their minds, the young people in the village were not completely relieved of their vigilance. Some people don't like to come in contact with the outside world.

'Well, we're fine, and they're kind and gentle people. Sousuke and the others, who are not here now, are safe. Of course I'll explain... I'd like to talk to everyone... ”

And when Yukino said, and Kotaro and the others nodded, the young men looked, and said, Ok. Whatever it is, they decided it was out of their hands.

Yoshi-san is out looking for Yukino-chan and the others. I think I'll be back soon, so for now... I guess. Shouldn't we all wait at Yukino's? You're tired, aren't you?

That 's--no, thank you.

Yukino and the children weren't actually as tired as they were because they slept in a properly roofed place. Still, the children and the ichiemons are together, and we need to wait for the people who are going out to search for them to come back. I must have decided that it was better to rest at home with honesty and generosity. Heading to Yukino's house to be spearheaded by the young people.

In the process, the people of the village also recognized the appearance of Yukino and were quite surprised. With the young people who guided me, I went forward with a stubborn explanation, and eventually arrived at Yukino's house.

Well then, Yukino-chan. Wait here with everyone. "

I understand.

Yukino nods and tells Ichiemon and the others to come up. Young people once informed the people of the village that Yukino had returned. Only one person left there and ran into the village, but the rest of them said they would wait outside and did not go up to the house.

There are outsiders, and I don't know the circumstances, so I think some parts are still on the alert. I know how they feel about the need to keep an eye on them.

I can make tea now.

I'll help you, sister.

Me too.

Yukino, Kotaro, and Uta followed between the floors. Yukino smiled a little and asked the two of them to help her.

Outside ― ― I guess I'll tell you what, I'm putting up a lookout.

Hyder was stationed at a major location in the village. At the moment, Hyder and the others can see the situation inside and outside the house. If the villagers get together with weapons, you'll know.

When I checked the situation outside and told them, Ichiemon and the others reacted calmly like they were already woven.

"I can't help but leave the guards." We are outsiders. "

"It seems that no one has put me off." It's a rational response. "

Mildred closes his eyes.

Seems like there's nothing wrong with that first.

“I see. We'll keep an eye on the outside, see if anything changes.”

Winberg responded. He said he would keep an eye on the situation over there, so I was able to concentrate on the situation over there and proceed with the work I was in charge of. To protect our children, we need magic buildings to remodel the castle, measures, and defenses.

Fortunately, we were able to get the help of the inhabitants of the Underworld and children such as Takeru without any problems, so it was not that difficult.

Uh, uh, thank you very much.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

and responded with a laugh to the nervous children gathered. That said, with regard to the cooperation of the children, the burden of the children is quite light. When I understood what I wanted to do and what we were cooperating with, it seemed that I could understand the tension and laughed and responded.

Albert and I used the crystal plate to face each other, and sent the paper with the magic ceremony in the transfer magic circle to receive the magic stone engraved on it.

"Thank you, Al."

That's fine. I'll let you know when I've carved the technique.

Albert laughed and waved his palm across the crystal plate.

If we were to continue our work in this way, there would be movement in the village as well.

First, they contacted the assembly hall, and the young people with the whistles left the village to contact the people who were going to search outside.

I think I found the kids...!?

At the meeting place, the elders who received the report raised their hips in surprise.

{Yukino-san and Kotaro-san, and Uta-chan...... According to Yukino-san, the other children are safe. I haven't heard the details yet, but I didn't know what was going on. "

I'm at Yoshikane-san's house now. At first, I'm setting up a lookout...... ”

'Hmm. We'd better go to Mr. Yoshi's house. If you don't move too much in the village, it can be noisy. "

Yoshikane... it's Yukino's grandfather's name.

Sure, I think it might be a good idea to ask what's going on before we do that, so we can figure out what's going on and explain what's going on.

Isn't it dangerous...?

You haven't harmed Yukino or Kotaro, have you? You were safe, so if you're going to do any harm, you're going to have to move. Even if you were doing something behind the scenes, you wouldn't be able to listen to me. "

One of the elders had gray hair and scratched it. He is an old man, but he has a solid physique, and he seems to be a magnificent person. When he stood up, the others certainly agreed with him and followed suit.

The elders seem to move to Yukino's house, leaving a liaison in the assembly hall. It was a move while listening to what kind of feelings they had...... but the questions were about Sousuke, who was not inside, and the unknown children, such as the outsiders Ichiemon, Tadakuni, and Mildred. The elders seemed to be worried too.

{Outsiders... it's possible that Yukino asked for help outside......}

Yukino is used to going outside the village...

And, the elders seemed to have decided so when they heard about Ichiemon and the others.

There was someone with a strange appearance, and I was curious...

I had no idea about Mildred. It seems that I don't know what to explain to the people who acted as a messenger. There's not much outside of the village. In particular, it was only recently that I had an exchange with the Verdogar Kingdom in Hitaka, and it was unavoidable that that area could not be accurately communicated.

A stranger child is their original companion. Are you a traveler with children?

The elders speculate that there is something going on. For the time being, it seems that the village did not give information to the outside, but it did not say emotional words to Yukino on that matter, and it seems that it has kept its coolness, so I think that at the moment you can hear about it.

When I told them about it, Yukino and the children took a deep breath to calm their feelings.
