Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 1866. Another stash.

The birthday banquet also ended safely... I received congratulations from various people at home and abroad, both directly and through the crystal board.

Well... thank you for taking care of me like this.

It's because I'm in a position to be valued... but it's not natural from the senses of my previous life. You have to keep that feeling in mind.

If such treatment becomes a matter of course after getting used to it, it may occur in the way of thinking and behavior. What did you think, what did you want, what did you fight to get, what did you fight to not lose? I want to keep that in mind.

In that regard, I think it makes sense to go home and look back on the past.

That is why I decided to stay overnight at my mother's house and then visit her grave.

At night, Rosetta, who was accompanying the children on their journey, and Mom and Valentina were also laughing.

Rosetta, a friend and fellow adventurer, and Valentina, a sister. Sometimes it's a connection between someone who was originally close to her mother, and since Harold and Cynthia fell asleep, they seem to be eager to blossom into memories in the living room.

"Well... if you think about it later, you must have exhausted all your calculations." To save my child, I was surprised when I jumped into the rocks. It hasn't been that long since I met you, and I haven't been told that you can use your magic in such a situation. "

"It's smart, and there's a place where you don't put yourself in the account when you have to, even though you usually move with safety in mind..." I don't hate the gentleness, but when I look at it from the side, it's chilling. ”

"That's right..."

"That's right..."

Valentina nodded to Rosetta as she told the story of her adventurous mother. By the way, at that time, I developed a powerful barrier technique and did something about it. It seems that Rosetta and her father, who were watching from the side, were buried in the rocks with their children...

"Ah, hahah. No, I thought I'd be able to go there then.

Did you decide that the wind direction was bad? My mother scratched her cheek with a bitter smile.

Parents and children around here, right?

"I know..."

... if I'd listened to their memories, they'd have turned my water on me.

"No... yeah, I'll be careful."

When I answered that, everyone nodded with a smile.

After Rosetta and Valentina reacted in a satisfactory manner, the topic changed a bit.

"Speaking of which... I used to collect things of the past, but how about now?"

"I refrained from scaring the children because there were several times that I would scare them." Especially since Theodore was born. "

"If you could, you'd have noticed my armor before you made it..."

"The guild leader was quite pleased with me... so I wonder if that's okay..."

"That's because the guild leader is special." That's why you were called a witch. "

"I think Dokuro is cute, but..."

There are three people who exchange such conversations. Because Auria was happy to receive her prototype. Mom didn't know so much about the outside world when she was born.

Besides the saintly lady, there was also a witch with a different name. Is that why?

"... it looks like you're still collecting them somewhere, right?"

When Rosetta and I say, Mom laughs vaguely.

"... do you have one?"

"No, there's something hidden in that locker, right?" because I didn't even say that Theo collected it..... "

"Oh... there is one."

"You hid it in a place that wasn't a hidden study..." I did a lot of research in the study, but I didn't go anywhere else.

Before I was born, I seemed to have secured a stash of goodies.

Since it was a corner, I decided to collect it, and Rosetta and Valentina were also interested, so I decided to go to the cache.

This is in the corner wall.

And when Mom moves to grab and slide a part of the wall of the storage room, the board comes off. I see... I think you hid it in the wood on the wall.

And... that's where my mother's stash was housed. Basically, they are things like daily necessities and interiors that can be used in the study...... such as room lamps and cups with a beautiful design. It seems that there is no weapon armor... just so that there is no actual damage in the unlikely event that they are found.

Well... it's a collection of horny moms. Wouldn't it be a good idea to collect it and decorate my mother's room? Olivia and the others wouldn't be frightened if the private room was different. I could easily hide it with my illusion props.

When I told her such a story, she nodded with a smile. "I'm glad that Theo understands."

As a result, my mother's hidden items were sent to Forestania.

My fathers are here, so we all take them out of the house and walk through the autumn forest. It was a leisurely journey looking at the leaves.

The path to the tomb was clean, the fallen leaves were removed, and it was easy to walk and devise... I can see that Harold and Cynthia are politely working on it.

It's nice to have an easy walk.

That's right. There's no place for the roots to pop out and the stones to get rid of.

“We have children, so we have covered the roots of the trees with soil and filled in the holes except for the sharp stones.”

"If you fall while holding it, it will be difficult."

When Ashley and Rosemary say, their siblings answer.

"Hmm. Thank you, both of you."

When she smiled and thanked her, she smiled happily at her brother and sister. The children may move around on float pods, but they may hold them in their arms, and if they think about it beforehand, they will run around on their own. I'm glad you're so attentive.

Then you arrive at the grave enjoying the reaction of your siblings, the conversation with everyone, and the surrounding scenery.

The slightly open, sunny flower garden is as beautiful as ever. The forest acts as a storm wall, and small flowers are secretly blooming. The atmosphere is quiet yet warm. Both the flower garden and the gravestone area... of course they were well maintained.

I knew it would be beautiful in autumn.

"You can't see flowers in winter."

Grace smiled at the view as she jumped through the forest.

"Fufu. Thank you both for taking care of the tomb."

Elena thanked her again. Harold and Cynthia responded by saying, "It's a waste of time."

Okay. Now, let's clean up a little bit around the tombstone before we go to the tomb.

That said, because Harold and the others usually clean it, it is enough to wipe the tombstone with a light cloth and remove the falling leaves that flew in yesterday.

When it's over, we'll put the bouquet of flowers we brought in front of the tomb and offer a silent prayer.

It's a little different to pray for blessings because my mother is nearby.

Drawing memories of the past behind my head, giving my daily gratitude... I put my thoughts in my prayers that I would like you to keep an eye on me.

As you pray like that, you can feel the magic power around you increase. Mother herself suppressed the magic power, but the impression was that the power was increasing.

I pray for a moment... and then I raise my face. When everyone had finished their silent prayers, they took a step back from the grave.

"After visiting the tomb, it's good because it always feels warm around the tomb..."

Cynthia narrowed her eyes and Harold nodded.

Prayer spreads magic, too.

Because the power of my Mother, who is an underworld elf, is increasing.

There was also the collection of the hidden goods last night, and she was looking forward to it.
