Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician
Outside 1770, from the past,
The village elders eventually arrive at Yukino's... no, his grandfather's house, Yoshikane's.
Yoshi-san... isn't back yet?
I'm going to call you now. I also use a call whistle, so I think I'll be back soon. ”
The elders called out from the doorway, nodding to the voice of the man who answered.
Yukino-chan, are you there?
Yes, please come up.
The door opened and Yukino invited the elders in. Ichiemon, Tadakuni, Mildred, and the children greeted the elders.
Since the elders had only heard about the facial expressions of the companions on the move, they did not show any particular surprise. He greeted her calmly and calmed her down so that she was facing each other.
{First of all... I see. I'm glad Yukino and the others are safe. I don't think he's here... but I heard that Sousuke and the others are safe. "
The elders' gaze was directed at the children whose faces were covered in masks. When moving around the village, children who had disappeared in previous generations had moved around the village wearing masks, because showing their faces before the explanation of the situation could lead to unnecessary confusion.
"Yes, they're fine, too. I think there are a lot of things I'm curious about and want to say... but let me also explain that Sousuke and the others didn't come together."
If that's the case, I've heard all the questions and doubts, and after that, I think it's better.
Hmm. I have no objection.
Then, after communicating each other's names and completing a brief introduction, the door was opened vigorously. Everyone's gaze gathers over you. It was Yukino's grandfather, Yoshikane.
”Oh... Yukino... even Kotaro...”
Is it breathing out? As soon as I saw Yukino and Kotaro as they adjusted their breathing, I let out a voice.
Uncle, Chan
”I was just... worried about everyone.”
I took a big breath and went to both of them... and said, trying to hold them together.
”But... you both came home safe and sound.”
I'm sorry, come on, don't worry.
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
Even though they were looking at each other's family like that through the crystal plate... there's still something they think about. She seems to be quietly meditating and looking up to the sky. They are also descendants of the inhabitants of the Unseen. Even if the child himself is invited because he is not satisfied, as a result, separating the family... there is a part of him that thinks that he will witness the appearance of such a family.
Especially when it comes to Kotaro, they are attracted to the unseen world by the fact that the people are good and have a sense of attraction, and the thoughts of Sousuke and other children have acted in the direction of calling friends.
The family hugged for a moment and watched it quietly. Yukino explained to Yoshikane that he had finally settled down or left and talked about the situation.
I see. If that's the case, then let me hear it with you.
Having said that, Yoshikane settles down next to the elders. Where the tea went to everyone, we talked about the process until Yukino darkened his whereabouts, and the events that followed.
'Well... I knew it wasn't a good thing to tell outside, but... Even so, Kotaro disappeared in front of me... If I could help, I wanted to help, so I left a note and left home. "
Yukino admits his wrongdoing, saying that it is more correct to ask for help and leave the house, rather than to give hope to a man.
If you were a magician serving in the court, you would be able to solve it... so you went to the palace.
"Well then, those people......"
Of course. The clumsy and the freebie are the ones who serve His Majesty Yoki.
I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding in the first place, but I want you to understand that His Majesty does not intend to interfere with the autonomy of this village or ancient traditions if the aftermath of this problem is to spread to other things.
When Ichiemon and Tadakuni said that, the elders were surprised by the stones. Wait for the information to be swallowed before continuing further.
"And Lord Mildred is not there to serve His Majesty Yoki." And that's why the clumsy ones stayed out of the house. ”
Mildred turned to Ythiemon's words as everyone's gaze gathered.
'Well, once again, my name is Mildred-Carvalle. Across the sea, from the far west of the Kingdom of Verdogar. This trip was accompanied by His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Queen....... I'm not here, but Lord Theodore, a famous Japanese magician, is accompanying me, and now he's acting with His Majesty and other children who aren't here. "
Mildred says that the information that comes from outside the country was quite a surprise to the elders.
His Majesty Josiah and Lord Theodor, the lords of Mildred, are accompanying us here because His Majesty and Lord Theodor were moved by the thoughts and actions of Lord Yukino, who received information that the children had gone missing. It was only then that I offered my assistant to Josiah, and he agreed to it. "
After you helped me at the ward, I came back using magic. So, Majesty Yoki and Master Theodor proceeded with the investigation... and as a result, we were able to reunite with Kotaro and Uta-chan. As a result, various things came to light. This is also the part where I want to explain. ”
After Yukino returned to the mountain, he told her in turn.
After conducting an investigation, it was concluded that other worlds were spreading around the company. To have infiltrated the discovered alien world and conducted an investigation.
And... there, I saw Tendo and the inhabitants of the Unseen. To have discovered the children and done more infiltration to understand the situation.
It was the elders who asked strangely what kind of story was going to happen, but when they asked about the existence of the Eternal World and the people who lived there, they made their expressions stronger.
I felt a little confused, but since I had told you in advance that the questions were to be answered after the conversation, I concentrated on listening first without breaking my hips.
The fact that Ichiemon and Kotaro next door were nervous to affirm Yukino's story would be a boost to the situation of listening quietly.
The story goes on. In the Unseen, the children who were hidden in the past are there without growing older. The presence of wrecks hostile to the Tendoes and their assault.
The story that I was able to glimpse the past memories of the Lord of the Unseen in my dreams by magic, and the story that I tried to contact because there seemed to be no harm or malice about the purpose of Tendo and the others.
When the children talked, the elders looked at the children who were accompanying them with a deep expression. The mask is still on, but the children nod their heads. Showing your face... is going to be after the whole story ends.
Yukino then tells Kagiri and Tendo about the situation. Why did I come back to the village at the right time?
"I thought maybe it was a bad thing if we didn't know about the world... that's what I thought. Those who fought to protect our ancestors, and who are still facing the curse because of it, and those who live there are the ancestors themselves. And... about the kids. At least to the extent that I saw it, it was very important and personal... To be invited unconsciously by a bloodline child who was having a hard time... it seemed like a gentle but sad thing to me."
Yukino shook his head saying that. Gentle, but sad... "Sure, yeah. Besides, take the key as Shun Sui's curse. I'm trapped by the past, but I think I can be released...
