Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Then --- after Yukino leaves the village, she goes to the palace and explains what happened after she got acquainted with Yoki Emperor and me in turn.

It was clear from the story that he was a very strong man. Except for the part considered by the elders, Yukino tells that it is still there. In response, the people of the village seemed to listen with a serious expression.

With the trust of the people of the village towards Yukino, you can say that you have created a situation where you can listen calmly. Kotaro and Uta returned with Yukino. And Uta and her parents snuggled up. It's enough to make people think things have changed for the better.

Hidden secrets have been a problem in the village for years.

It's true... I've been sent to search for Yukino since she went missing. Some people will have negative opinions about the fact that they asked for help outside the village.

But the children have returned safely... and the cause and solution have been presented. If you look at it as an achievement, you can say that it is not this high. Moreover, Yukino bowed his head when he was worried and annoyed. No one will blame this.

As Yukino said... those who are responding to the situation in the underworld show the way to solving the situation and are trying to implement it.

"Yukino has taken it and said she wants to talk to you. Let's hear the opinion first. If you are polarized, you will be exhausted whether you will receive the story or not. I want to hear everyone's honest opinions after hearing Yukino's thoughts on important things related to the future."

When one of the elders said that, Yukino looked straight back and nodded, "Bye-bye," before spinning words to everyone in the village.

"As for the formation of the Underworld...... I just told you. His Majesty Yoki, Theodor, and Tendo woke up the gods and fought... with the goal of breaking the curse that eventually binds them to the gods...”

On top of that, Yukino continued.

I thought we had something to do and something to know.

Yukino thinks that he must return to the village to tell them. If the power of prayer and contemplation is to counter the curse, we must tell the truth properly.

When I heard the story of the past, I felt so strongly. Yukino leans up a little and tells everyone what she felt.

"I took on the curse to help our ancestors, and even in my dreams, I was worried about my children, so I subconsciously invited a child who fit the conditions..." I was frightened too, but knowing the truth made me think that I was such a gentle protector. ”

So Yukino has no choice but not to tell the truth. I think it's true that we should make a decision based on our knowledge.

Yukino sacrificed his thoughts. Is everyone concerned about the key, or are they looking back at me with the words that they were afraid of? His eyes were closed and he was shaking his head, and he had a sad expression on his face.

... it's not like we need to change our minds about the god of the mountains.

When Miki said that, Yukino also nodded.

Yes, could you all pray and thank the Guardian God for the festival in the Underworld?

The request of the people of the settlement from Yukino was a modest one. But I think that alone is a great force.

Is that all that matters...?

- It was the man from the village who said that.

The curse in the form of a skeleton is coming... even though the children are protected, they're going to celebrate with that in mind, right? We're just out there... praying in a safe place... so is that okay? ”

"I can't tell you what to do. It's not a place we can go just because we want to, and we have the ideas of the people who accept it.”

Yukino replied quietly, anticipating the answer. I hope everyone will pray, regardless of courage. In the midst of the danger of the appearance of skeletons, if you take a trip to the secluded world yourself and participate in the festival, it will be a high psychological hurdle, and on the contrary, I want to avoid that if you do not participate, you will feel responsible, and then you will make your position in the village worse.

That's why I gave you a reason. If it's convenient for us, we won't all be arguing against the unknown.

Yet some rose up.

{Please... can you talk me through it so that I can somehow go to the Unseen? Over there... you don't have to see him. But I want to do something more... that I can do for myself...! If you say it's dangerous, that's why...! "

A cheek stuck to a beard. But the colour of my eyes was solid. He was Sousuke's father. When the elders came to talk to me, I checked with the Explorer, so my face and name match.

Oh, me too!

Me, me too...!

And they arose one after another; and they were, after all, like the father of Sousse, the relatives of the concealed children.

Yukino opened her eyes wide and nodded clearly with a serious expression.

I understand. I promise I will contact Tendo and the others to let them know the results.

Yes, and the elders have been very considerate. It is not a good idea to talk here.

Did each of the parents agree with me? When I nodded, I sat down again on a throne that was properly laid down.

”You can't have someone like me who wants it? It doesn't suit my sex to be out there watching my fellow countrymen struggle."

A man with a good vibe who talks like that. Yukino replied that he would try to consult with those who wished to do so.

“Hmm. If you wish to come here, we have no problem accepting it. I can't help but be cautious about my contact with my parents... but I will do my best to accommodate my wishes.”

At the same time, so that those who are unable to show courage and those who cannot come do not feel discouraged when praying, if they were to retreat, they would need someone to keep the village away... Tendo is thinking hard about why they can stay.

If that means division of roles, then there is no problem. It's not just a pre-built story, it's a necessity as well.

In any case, I have the impression that many people in the village want to move to the Unseen side and become more powerful than we expected. Is it because it was originally a samurai family, or because the solution has sprung up under the circumstances of being blocked? I wonder if there are many who want to do something about it now.

There was no objection to the story of delivering the prayer. There was a general enthusiasm for the policy of holding the festival.

Now... we can expect proper cooperation from the settlement.

When the whole group gathered and discussed, the policy was decided, and today's meeting ended first. With the answers from Tendo and the others, we'll be accepting the Eternal World tomorrow... so we'll be building an intercept readiness for the wreckage and preparing for the festival.

"I hope you can reconcile..."

Mitsuki was also watching the gathering, but he stroked his chest as if he was relieved. That's right... If Sousuke and I can reconcile, we won't beat it. Of course, it is said that the situation surrounding each of them will improve.
