Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"I'm... now"

When we came back to the temple, Mallane jumped into my nostalgia. When I take it, I raise my face and give it a happy look, and then I bury my face in my chest.

You mean he was praying in front of the stone tablet at the labyrinth entrance?

When the demons attacked us, if they were going to hunt us down and run into the labyrinth... we had a meeting. Perhaps it makes sense to offer prayers here. I guess it was on Mallane's escort. Mercedia is smiling bitterly.

If you jump from a stone tablet and escape into the labyrinth, the opponent can't identify where he went. After you've escaped, you just have to take the form of rendezvous at the meeting place.

"Safe and above all."

As I stroked Mallane's hair, Knights Chief Mildred and Alliance Deputy Oswald...... then another approached me. My ears are pointy.... an elf woman.

I've never seen him before... of the Term Wills Adventurer Guild...... wouldn't it be guild leader Auria?

He seems to be an originally famous adventurer. The appearance is exactly as I imagine it from the image of an elf. As a result, it is popular among adventurers.

You think it's balanced because it's a cautious stance against Oswald, who tends to be impotent?

Perhaps he is an ideal figure as the head of the Term Wills Adventurer Guild, which brings together a variety of different races. Or maybe he's a candidate for it.

"The end is this way. The demon who attacked us has repelled us."

When I show the jewel, Mildred circles her eyes for a moment and then nods.

"You may give it directly to His Majesty from the Ambassador."

Well... that's my job.

I shouldn't leave it to others.

"Don't keep the power of the awesome spirits in your hands."

says Auria as she arms.

Whatever it looks like, the tone is pretty majestic. I guess it's because it's a long life for the elves alone.

"Oh. You're late in introducing yourself. I'm Auria, the guild leader."

And I'm going to introduce myself.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Theodor-Gartner"

"Nice to meet you. Lisa's son."

Nodding, Auria said that.

"Do you know my mother?

"Uh-huh. I'm going to blossom in the old story, so I'm going to take my time again."

Auria laughs happily. Looks like Rosetta had a time when her mother was an adventurer at Termwilds, too. It's not strange that the Adventurer Guild has an acquaintance... but I didn't know the Guild Director knew him.

But surely now we should talk more about demons and jewels than about personal stories.

"Okay. Did anything unusual happen outside the labyrinth? The demon may be setting something up."

"Mm..."

Tension runs on Mildred's expression.

"I'll tell you later about the enemy's face. Based on that, I was wondering if you might be able to grasp something if it wasn't witnessed somewhere."

"Nothing in particular has happened here... right. If that's the case, let's make a thorough investigation."

Mildred nods. Because Cadkeus remembers what Luceriage looks like. Let Cadkeus reproduce it and mould it with dirt magic, and you'll be able to make a chest statue.

"Safe and above all."

The penelope that came comes bows his head.

"No."

There is another matter of concern in this case.... If you ask Penelope, will you figure something out?

"Mr. Penelope. Um, can I ask you something about the appearance of the goddess Shuas?

"Is it Master Shuas's?

"That's right. Can't you tell by the statue of the goddess on the altar, about the color of her hair and the color of her eyes?"

As for Shuas, he speaks of character, but not of his fine appearance. If we're going to talk about that figure, we'll be tied together in equals with the statue of the goddess on the altar of the temple.

... In short, I suspect that the labyrinth management has something to do with Shuas, the moon goddess.

The movement of the moon is also deeply involved in the labyrinth. The story is that the Temple of the Moon was built after... what if that's because Shuas was involved from the beginning?

"Master Shuas is like the full moon. I have been told that you will not like to appear in public without darkness. I can't tell you exactly what you look like… I'm talking about looking like a very beautiful, very old woman."

Penelope smiled somewhere happy because he talked about Shuas.

Hmm. Exactly. Isn't Claudia herself on the line Shuas? Claudia was about my age, if you say it just by her appearance.

And there seems to have been some behavioral constraint. So for example... you think Claudia is a Shuas user or a family member? I think that's a possibility.

"You definitely seem to have long hair. Many of the witches of the Temple of the Moon are also exposed to it. We are told that it is as beautiful as the glow of the moon."

... the glow of the moon. Another vague expression, though. Can I call those golden eyes the glow of the moon?

"Okay. Thank you."

"No. Ask me anytime"

Keep your head down on the penelope.

Well. After this, we'll have to deliver the treasure to the royal castle and report it to King Melvin.

"- The Luceriage of the Dance Sword and... did you say that"

It was quite late at night, so everyone went home first, and I headed to the royal castle.

King Melvin dressed up for battle and waited for our return at the king's tower.

Depositing the treasure and reporting on this upside, King Melvin seems to have learned to hook up at the Demon's name.

"Do you know that? I'm a demon of a woman flying a golden sword."

"Mm-hmm. That name will come up in the history books. It's called heat and a good dancing sword...... don't let all the big guys pop up. Absolutely… my country has been blinded by an extraordinary opponent."

King Melvin does his hand on his forehead to create a tannic surface. They don't have the idea that I'm making a false report for handles.

I will also tell you that the demon man is doing something behind the scenes and that he has spoken to Mildred.

"And one more thing. As I've reported before, I'm a brunette girl."

"Uhm."

"We talked a little at the Spirit Hall. All I know is my name and appearance, and maybe later it'll be my guess."

"Let me hear it"

King Melvin comes out on his own. Talk to Penelope earlier and talk about Claudia.

"... Goddess Shuas, huh"

"It's a ill-founded story. I just stuck it out of the link between the full moon and the labyrinth."

"No. There was a lot of mystery about the girl, but it would be enough as a take. It wouldn't be an interesting story to have him investigate on that line."

King Melvin was nodding as impressed.

"Do you see any relevance on such points within the procedures of the National Guardian Ritual?

"No. I'll tell him if there is one. I will not reveal the details, but I will prove that there is no mistake in the blood muscles, and I take an oath that I will only rule the country. I don't see any relationship with the goddess in the procedure, chanting, or any other language."

"I see."

... Though I thought it would be settled if it were worded to honor the goddess during the ritual.

It's just a thought at the moment. It's like there's plenty of chance of a misunderstanding.

"And then... I don't really have anything to do with this one."

"Hmm."

"I'll talk to you a little later, but I'd like you to lend me a dragon cage"

"No, I don't mind. Does that mean we're going out of Termwilds?

"Yes, because my mother's date of death is near."

King Melvin's doubts are the best, so when I told him what was going on, he nodded with seriousness.

"I see. That certainly wouldn't be an important business. One case of the treasure settled down first. Let's turn our hands here about receiving a report. The dragon cage will be arranged, so don't hesitate to go."

"Thank you"

I did what I had to report, so I made a bust of Luceriage, and then I quit Royal Castle and headed home.

"... ha. I guess I'll have to renovate my coat."

I'm on foot because everyone asked me to take a carriage home.

The gap breeze is a little cold. Luceriage puts a big hole in your arm and shoulder.

Do your hand on the part of the hole.... Has the arm and shoulder left a few scratches?

Ashley was stroking me, but I wonder if I cared. Well, if she can't fix it, no one else can. As far as I'm concerned, I don't want any more pain.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back"

Grace and the others greeted me with a smile when I opened the door to the house.

"I'll get you a warm drink right now."

"Thanks"

The evening is much longer, but everyone seems to have been awake and waiting for me.

As usual, calm your hips on the bench. What a pleasant blasting sound of firewood in the fireplace.

It's not tea at night, it's warmed milk.

Everyone came, anticipating the cup emptying and calming down.

Ashley and Grace next door.... and hold Mallane reluctantly on his knees.

Shaped to sit sideways. You're close to holding a princess. Mallane's body is very light.

"We were together in the labyrinth."

Ashley sitting next to me laughs small and puts her head on her shoulder.

"I, too, let the recoil dissolve a little"

Grace sitting on the other side trying to hold my arm and sticking her body together.

Yeah. You want me to make time with Mallane? Though I understand that.

Sometimes I snuggle with everyone... my cold body warms up from the inside out because I've been walking outside.

It's very warm, but the situation is here. I feel like my head is coming up. Mallane seems slightly sleepy, rubbing under her eyes sometimes, but she smiles when her gaze matches if she doesn't want to sleep yet.

Yeah. Until I go to sleep. Patience to sleep. I'm tired of fighting today. Let's move to the bedroom early.
