Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Ah, Theo, you, Mr. Grace"

"Oh, everybody"

When I was talking to Heather, the faces of Forestbird showed their faces to the Adventurer Guild.

"I heard you, now you've fought demons, haven't you?

"I knew I was strong... but I didn't know I was a demon killer at that age. Dragon killer next."

"No... no matter the dragon. The devil was there, so he's gone."

I mean, it's like... when I saw him, he didn't like it because the demon was rampaging and he stuck it out of himself. To be honest around here, I'm not going to go into details because I'm going to make Grace worry.

And because there is nothing particularly resentful about dragons. I have trouble being spoken of in advance that can be defeated as a matter of course.

"And Master Ashley is with you, isn't he? Could that outfit, go to the labyrinth with me?

From that reaction, we seem to know that Ashley came to Termwilds and rubbed it with the Count Cardiff family in the school building.

The Adventurer Alliance is also a place to gather information. I know Forestbird, and there was one snake-byte case, so if it became a rumor, it would go into their ears normally.

"Because healing magic can be used, I thought it would be better to think about the future and gain experience in action."

"Huh. Ladies and gentlemen, excellence."

I returned a thoughtless reply as Lucien was impressed.

"What part of the labyrinth are you in now, folks at Forestbird?

When Grace asks, they laugh and answer.

"They say we can pick gems and minerals, so we're looking for the old pit. We got to the ninth floor... it's huge and it's tough, that one. We're going to be in the labyrinth."

So we're downstairs and everybody's up there.

The old pit side is a proportional common sense category among the labyrinths. There's not much of a shady trap, and Forestbird would do well.

"How far did you go down there?

"15 floors underground, I guess."

"Yes!"

Well, as for this one, there's nowhere to go.

"Oh, Mr. Theodore. This is a continuation of what I just said. Among those who were kidnapped by the Count's house there would have been demons."

Heather asked, so she nodded.

"Yeah. You were there. Now the Adventurer's Guild keeps its shape, doesn't it?

Demons are also not necessarily hostile to humans or capable of communicating with one another, depending on the species. It was the policy of the Earl Cardiff family not only to adventurers, but also to selectively grab such demons and sell them off as slaves.

Well, I don't even know where those demons came from in or out of the labyrinth. There seems to have been a means of summoning.

The victims of the kidnapping knew they would be released. I was also a little concerned about what would happen to the demons.

To say that you are intelligent enough to communicate with your will can in some cases make each of the tribes you have been friendly with hostile, so there are parts of you that need to be treated with caution.

"Right. He was encouraging with the victim when he was caught. I was petitioned to help you all. I'm in a state of waiting for recovery because I'm slightly debilitated, but I also want to be discreet as an guild and treat you as politely as possible"

"Hmm."

"So that's it. He wants to talk to Mr. Theodore when he's settled."

"It's again...... why?

"Mr. Theodore was the benefactor who let them go, wasn't he? So I want to thank you."

...... hmm. The demon told me, hey.

"I understand. It's not good enough to talk."

"Well, I'll tell him."

I'm interested in demonic ecology, too.

Especially the demons that "spring up" in the labyrinth. Where and how they come from, what they think and live with, etc.

Because inside and outside the labyrinth, demonic thought and behavior patterns seem different.

In nature, there's no way Cuttermantis and Hughespider are pushed into the same room and waiting amicably. It would be a combination that would surely prey on each other.

It's impossible to be friendly and collaborative against adventurers in the first place.

Demons in the labyrinth coexist without most species contending. Fighting adventurers who come into the labyrinth doesn't seem to satisfy their appetite, but rather to interfere with the adventurer's intrusion into the depths of the labyrinth.

Including those places. If there's a demon from the labyrinth, I'd like to know what's going on.

As a matter common to demons, strong demons nest in places with naturally occurring accumulations of magic. Although it was written in the book that it converts magic into its own energy of activity by accumulating magic in the demonic stone components in the body. Well, what can I tell you?

Claim your Crusade rewards from the Adventurer Alliance. They're going to get a bounty later on about solving kidnapping cases and crusading demons.

As for the gauntlet out of the chest, it seems that it is hung with an enhanced arm enchant, so I decided to secure it here at once. I think Ashley will play an auxiliary role around swinging the mace.

When I broke up with Forestbird and Heather and the others, shopped at the market, and then came home, I was distancing myself and seeing Rosetta and Sheila as they towed each other in front of the mansion.

Rosetta seems to deserve Sheila with the usual grin on her face, and Sheila is calmly observing Rosetta, even though she looks sleepy somewhere with no expression on her face.

"... what are you doing, you guys?"

"Oh. Mr. Theodore. Welcome home."

"Theodore. I'm here to thank you"

"What about this one?

"Uh. She's Sheila. I think he's a kidnapping solver."

"Oh. Are you the collaborator you were talking about yesterday?

"That sort of thing."

I'm scratching Grace and Ashley to tell them what's going on in this case. Although Sheila may be a bandit guild and she hasn't given much detail.

"I'm not sure. You don't have to worry about that, do you? I've been wandering around your house, so I was just about to talk to you."

"That's me with you"

... Looks like Rosetta and Sheila were trying to listen to each other for the same purpose.

Even if Rosetta knows. Sheila is worried because the ripples are spreading in the story she brings... do you mean?

"Well, standing talk.Why don't we both go up to the house. I'll get you some tea."

We decided to talk through everyone for tea in the reception room. Even I had something to tell Sheila.

But I don't know... I have a high female rate... around me.

"Hmm. Looks like today's labyrinth went pretty well, then."

"Yes, you two have helped"

Rosetta apparently came to teach Ashley magic. He coaches man-to-man in the corner of the correspondence.

It's like Rosetta and Ashley are already totally in a mentorship.

Rosetta apparently hasn't met Talcott yet after that... but she was percentage happy to tell what Heather told her. One of these days, you'll hear from Rosetta about the prince and Talcott who won't even come in from the Adventurer's Guild.

"Oh, Mr. Sheila. I'll give it to Sheila when I get my reward for solving the kidnapping. If you need to negotiate an amount, I will be available for consultation. Why don't you say 50% because you didn't have an arrangement?

Sheila tilted her neck as she cut out the story that way over Grace's brewed tea.

"We all think it's because of you that this one case has been solved. I can't get any more money from that."

Sheila... I knew she was onto Cadkeus. Well, you're listening to a friend who was caught, and if you gather information from it, you're coming to me, right?

"Kidnapping is going to be Sheila's feat more than my handle. I also plan to receive a reward for the Demon Crusade, so that's fine."

As far as I'm concerned, I solved the case with the information I got from her, and after cleaning up the mess around me, I'm getting a reward. Not giving Sheila a profit... is not an ethic.

Sheila doesn't really change her face if she understands what I'm trying to say or not... well, she seems to be doing pretty much like this.
