Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

You can say peace itself on the road. Everyone spends their thoughtful time drinking tea and picking sugar sweets.

"Dear Mallane. What about this?

Mallane is trying to embroider. Grace and Ashley also advise Mallane at times as they advance their own embroidery. Mallane seems to continue to work in proportion pleasure as she snorts with a serious face.

Illumhilt is playing a relaxed tempo song with a lute, and Sheila seems to be taking care of her weapons and locking tools.

Cadkeus, Lavine and Uroboros are gathered in one place to close their eyes. I guess the lute that Illumhilt plays is comfortable.

Overall, it's a relaxing time. It is not a rare journey in the sky along the streets. It would be a good thing that things are going well.

"Theo, you. How you doing over there?

'I just passed over Baron Siln's territory. By the way, I have an idea about a new magic trick.'

"Haha. You really have a lot of bills. '

and reply to a message sent by Alfred. Engage in regular exchanges.

If you're on a magic comms machine, you can say that you're pretty far from Termwilds, but you're doing well. I can also interact with the other side without any problems.

That's the only time I have left, so I also write with a blade pen on the paper. It's about the new magic kit that Alfred's been working on.

Because of this, I had a dedicated Fei Long, and I think it would be useful if I could sign a contract with Lindblum like a summoner and call him when I needed him.

I'm just writing a magical chant of basic summons and repatriation on paper.

It would be nice if one thing could be resolved that summoning magic cannot be done if the magic qualities are not right, so by having the demon stone pour magic from Mallane, we can produce a demon prop for summoning.

I usually don't make a fool of myself for asking a magician because I have to put this back in again if I consume the magic stored in the Demon Stone... Well, isn't it because the summoner is inside you?

... I'm sure you can use my magic stones to make magic props for attacks and Ashley's magic to make healing props.

Hmm. I still have to charge the Demon Stone with magic, so don't use it only once each time. Does it feel like I use it when I say here?

I also have to prepare a separate demon stone to carve the procedure...... I can't carve in the great magic because I can't carve out the very complicated procedure, and it's slightly less user-friendly.

Lindblum rang out outside as he thought about balance with trial and error.

When I checked outside, I saw the city I remember approaching me step by step.

"I think I see the Earl's Landing."

'Apparently, there's no problem communicating to the area. I have to get in the way, so if there's nothing, I won't send you a sentence for a while.'

'Okay. If anything happens to each other. "

So once I finish my interaction with Alfred,

"Lindblum. You see lakes and big trees in the woods nearby, right? Go that way, please."

Lindblum speaks up low. In the three flying dragons, Lindblum seems to be showing leadership, even though he is young, and the dragon cage descends in the direction I instructed him to.

The exact position will be outside the Count's territory...... In the woods, by the lake, there is a separate house for Count Gartner.

A separate house is a nominal story. The fact that a spiral staircase is attached to the trunk of a giant tree of ridiculous thickness and a living space is created on the tree… it is a house with an unusual design inside, as integrated with the tree.

It is a house made of wood magic and earth magic. The construction itself is solid, but would make a difference in fun to say aristocratic villas and detached houses.

I've heard rumors about the witch's house and the children of the Earl Territory... but I don't know if it might be something like that if I saw it from someone else who didn't know what was going on.

Still, if we are to talk formally, it is the "separate residence of Count Gartner". Because it was Mother's house as a matter of fact, and the current administrator is Father.

In front of the house. A dragon cage is gently unloaded in the corner of the explored forest.

As they stroked and labored the nostrils of Lindblum and the other Fei dragons gently, they tinkled their throats.

"It's a lovely home."

"Interesting"

Sheila and Mallane are nodding at Illumhilt's words.

"... true. That's a cute home, that's going to come out of the story. Was Lisa and you two living here?

Ashley looks up at the house intriguing.

"Yeah, it's been a while since I've been here."

Grace narrows her eyes and tells her to whine. Sure... I haven't had a leg since my father's mansion took me away. A lot, too many memories. Well, I used to come to the grave every year.

By way of example we make snow golems to exclude the snow around the house. Let's leave the snow removal to them and get their stuff in.

Climb the spiral stairs, touch the entrance door and whine the euphemism. It's a door locked with a magic key. What you know about unlocking is that now it's about me and Grace, and then Dad.

The thing is, it's my mother's birthday. Then the sum figures for the day I first met Grace. Speaking of like a mother, it seems.

Open the door and enter the house. When I floated the magical lights and lit up the indoors...... I learned a slightly dizzy feeling. Because it was too memorable and the same sight as it used to be.

Living room smelling like wood. A table like a big stump. Space in the kitchen.

There are doors leading to the bedroom in the back, climbing stairs leading to an open-air bath on a tree, and stairs down to my mother's study.

There is also a crept space inside the great tree, which can be bigger than it looks in the house.

Overnight here today. Tomorrow, the visit to the tomb is scheduled to take place after the sun is high.

Carry in the luggage and blankets that have been loaded into the dragon cage. Put fire in the fireplace, magically make water and fill the bucket.

"Theo."

That's what I said. When I was doing the chores, they called me by name. When I looked up, Grace and Ashley were there.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"Master Theodore, please take your time. We'll do the rest."

"Really?"

"We'll hunt a little in the woods before the sun goes down. Dinner can be extravagant."

And Sheila and Irmhilt took Lavine out. It's like a grand hunt is guaranteed in that member's hunt... well, maybe the portion that can't be eaten up will feed the flying dragon.

Well, I'm gonna be out of hand. - Wouldn't it be bad to look around the house?

"Okay. Well, I'm looking around the house."

"Yes."

I'll go for an open-air bath on the tree first. It is like a terrace, with a structure that overlooks distant mountains and other views across the fence.

"True... I miss you"

Words like that strike my mouth unexpectedly.

The view of the mountains from here has not changed anything.

...... oh. Speaking of which, I did... I even took a bath with my mother and Grace when I was little... did I?

Shake your head gently to kick out your vague memories.

I thought I'd fill the tub with water, but I stopped it. I told you I'd leave it to everyone. She'll do this here because it's Ashley's specialty.

Down the stairs, heading to my mother's study.

This one had the books brought out... and the bookcase was cancerous.

There were magic books, so I couldn't leave them alone, but they were brought to my father's study.

My mother was a child troubled person, but she just didn't seem to want me to get into much of the study. There was a book of magic tangles, so I can take it for granted.

... even minus that. It is a defenseless story when it comes to defenselessness.

If you didn't want your kids to come in, you could have put on a locked door. In fact, even when I stepped in, it was as attentive as it sounded.

If you go down the stairs, there's just a simple space with a bookcase and a work desk.

I don't even think there was such a dangerous book. Mother's books, brought into Count Gartner's mansion, were all for beginners like magic books, and there was nothing quite advanced about them.

"Hmm..."

Is there such a thing?

My mother was a mage of considerable skill. I should have studied and drilled. In particular, research. As far as I can remember, there was no such trace.

If I were you, I'd make about one or two of the hidden libraries. If there is such a thing, it is somewhat problematic to leave it in an empty house...... But, yeah.

Should I touch that or not? Think. Think.

I wonder if it's just a matter of interest. I wonder if there's a place where you shouldn't even be in the family.

But what if I don't look here? Can it be buried all the time like this? Or - will someone else touch that?

"... Cadkeus. Ceilings and floors. And then behind the bookshelf."

Five senses link and explore every corner of the study.

There is a small demonic stone nestled in the corner of the ceiling.

... Found it.

I found it, and I lost it.

Okay. Back to the living room and speak to Grace as she prepares her meal.

"Grace. Can I have a word?"

"Yes?"

Grace smiles and comes here.

"Yep."

I stare, but Grace waits for the words to follow, not to push ahead.

"Though we talk about what if. If there's a hidden door in your mother's study, do you think you should look inside?

Whether you want to go inside or not. I want Grace's opinion. By falling into the story, we can also decide that we didn't see it together.

Grace was rounding her eyes on the abrupt story, but eventually says it was pompous.

"... if you have something that Lisa left behind."

Look me in the eye and say it straight.

"I think Theo's the only one who can take it over,"

"Yeah, right."

Grace smiled softly as she bowed her head and went back to making dinner.

Mm-hmm. Right.

Get down to the study again.

"... mother. Excuse me."

Go all the way to the top of the bookcase with a revue and send magic into the Demon Stone.

One of the bookcases made a noise and opened into the back, and a staircase leading downstairs appeared.

Take a big breath and then go down the spiral stairs. No magical tricks are applied.

... maybe if me or Grace stepped in with some mistake, nothing would happen.

Cut down the stairs and illuminate your surroundings with magical lights. That was my mother's, real study.

Low ceilings. I guess it's already underground at height. A bookcase lined with advanced magic books. Large pot. A desk lined with experimental instruments.

I found a notebook used on my desk.

I'll take a quick look inside. Evidence, or precisely encrypted. It can only be read about the date. Probably encrypted some kind of magic chant... but this isn't even something I can decipher here.

It would be a magic research book. Is there a prank writing on the end, or graffiti like I drew on boring consolation, like a mother?

Smile small, then roll the notebook slowly.

Grace's ring was painted as a picture. It also seems to say something about how to make it. Of course, it's encrypted.

...... hmm. That's enough. There may be something else.

I'm responsible for taking what's here.

I held my mother's notebook... and I meditated for a while.
