Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

- Tomorrow. I woke up late and we all ate.

Get dressed and grab a bouquet of flowers. Go out to the back of the house.

"This is..."

Mother's grave isn't even that far from home. It's in the woods, somewhere a little open.

In the spring, one side of the flower blooms. I picked a place my mother liked and buried her with me and Grace.

I thought I had to start with the snowflake, but the perimeter of the grave was clean.

A tombstone is erected in the middle of the open place. The tombstone that Grace and I put up was to the point of putting together a tree, but later on Dad made the tombstone a splendid one.

"Theo, are you here?"

Called first name, looking back. My father showed up with a few knights from the Earl's Lands as escorts. I have two strange children... are they brothers and sisters? Father makes the knights wait here and refrain behind, approaching with the children.

"Oh, Dad."

"The dragon cage seems to have arrived at Lisa's house. Wasn't it hard to travel in a dragon cage in the winter?

"There's magic, so the cold won't be a problem."

"... you did"

My father laughs bitterly.

"What about those two?

"It's called Harold and Cynthia. He's an orphan, though. Why did you volunteer to be a tomb keeper?"

"Gravekeeper -"

I glance at my mother's grave. The tombstone and its surroundings are beautiful. I could see it was well managed.

"... thank you"

"It's a bad word."

And, they both come down with their heads. These brothers and sisters are also... I suppose they are the inhabitants of Count's territory.

I have no intention of saying this to a child who was not a party at that time. Not to mention an orphan, or he volunteered. If that's the motive, I can guess.

"I'm home, Mother"

That's what I say. I give a bouquet of flowers to the cemetery. Then each and every one of them consecrates their silent prayers.

Grace, Ashley, and Dad. And then the tomb guard brothers and sisters.

I guess there's something I want to say and think about each of them. I was quietly closing my eyes and facing my mother's grave marker.

Mallane looks similar to prayer with both hands together. Both Sheila and Illumhilt pray quietly. I'm glad that this is how you came to my mother's grave.

This way brings back a lot of old memories. I used to come to this place with lunch.

That's how I kept my eyes shut for a while.

"- Are you going back to Termwilds right away?

It was Dad's words that broke the quiet air.

"... Yes"

I snort. I know that if I stayed in that house for a long time, I wouldn't be able to stay, or I wouldn't want to leave.

Besides... I don't want to meet the Earl's people on a day like today. I'm probably less tolerable against them.

Even the knight my father is bringing to the escort is a strange face of mine, young. I call it a tomb guard candidate...... I feel pretty concerned about this area.

Naturally my father knew that area, and he nodded without saying anything to my words.

After that... we just load up the stuff in the study and ride the dragon cage home. There are also materials, demonic stones, and appliances in the materials, so the dragon cage is going to get a little narrow on the way home. Well, we can do something about it if we reduce the burdens on Fei Long in the Levitation.

Later - though I plan to stop by Baron Sirn's territory on my way home. In that case, will you be spending another night or so in the Baron Territory? Ashley herself is not separately unfriendly with Kennels and the people, and there will be stories to accumulate.

"Well, let's go"

Everyone nods and walks away, one by one. I looked back when I left.

"Mother. I'll borrow your study stuff. Also... I'll be here next year"

Keep your head down toward the grave marker. Then I followed everyone.

"Grandpa!

"Master Ashley!

On his way home, he also lowered the dragon cage to Ashley's mansion in Baron Sirn's territory and showed his face to Kennel's place.

Out of the dragon cage, Ashley smiles happily and runs to Kennel, who came out of the mansion into the courtyard.

Kennel is rounding his eyes for a sudden visit to Ashley.

"We're out of time"

"Oh. This is Dear Theodore"

Speaking to Kennel, he has bowed deeply.

"Lord Beline told me what's going on. You know, in the center, it's a big part of it."

"Well, there was a lot going on."

Without this with the devil, I don't think this would have happened.

"Sa, accompany the people with you. Will you be staying today?

"I'm going to."

"That's more than anything."

Kennel enters the mansion with a grin.

"Go ahead, Dear Theodore, gentlemen"

Ashley also smiled and invited everyone in.

Well, this will be the second time you've come to Ashley's mansion.

I was sent to the conversation room to have tea with everyone.

The dragon cage has narrowed because there is more luggage to load on the way home. I just want to stretch my body out and slow down because it's making me feel slightly cramped.

"How's it going over there? This is Baron Sirn. I plan to stay another night before I go home. '

Have a cup of tea and relax, I'll send Alfred a message. I lost it and got a reply.

'The Knights are listening all over the city. There doesn't seem to be any witnessing testimony from the demon, but it looks like there was a ghost riot all over the city that day, from around the day the sealed door opened. "

... I'm here with a ghost.

Luceriage's relationship to what he was saying about "what he left behind"... I guess we should doubt it.

"What's the harm?

'So far, I haven't answered anything in particular. I also think it's warm when it comes to the devil's trick... the time is just the time, I'm just curious'

'I think we should keep an eye out in parallel with collecting sightings. If it's possible, I'd like to get rid of it. "

"Yeah. If you're undead enough to be ghost, you shouldn't have a hard time if you run into it."

... if it's just a ghost, yeah. It's hard to tell where the damage hasn't occurred.

You should think about it when you get back. I've got my own assignment.

It's a cryptographic decryption of my mother's research.

The form of encryption seems to be done with an ultimatum or a cover-up. I am wondering if there is a code book in my mother's study that I refer to for decryption.

Do we have to do this slowly? Communication with Alfred is cut off at length.

"What's the status of the Baron's Territory like since then?

And I'll ask Kennel. Autumn mouth Beline said it was a good percentage.

"The ants seem to have gone over the winter, and the situation is calm. Though there have also been fights in a few wrapped up numbers of ants since then and in a mixed unit of adventurers and soldiers. Less human damage, fewer and fewer in itself, seems to be moving towards convergence."

"I see...... that was good"

There's an expert Beline. Is that not how misreading happens around here? Just in case, I think it would be better to keep an idea of the situation in the Baron Territory. It was clear that the communication machines were prototype, but with sufficient accuracy.

Why don't you send a prototype to my father's place and Kennel's later and see King Melvin?

As long as the prototype can only communicate one-on-one, you don't have to worry about a third party stealing the contents of the communication. It is too useful at the moment for lords everywhere to use it.

It can be said that it is groundbreaking as a means of connecting bases. Even if it means strictly observing prototype secrets, putting them at Dad's or Kennel's place is a hit and put them on.

"You're worried about me. Regards, Master Ashley."

- Yes, sir.

I nodded at Kennel as he lowered his head deeply.

Receive a welcome at Ashley's Mansion.

As planned, the next day, we followed Baron Silun.

It was packed and narrowed, but the journey in the dragon cage went well. I unload the dragon cage in front of the house, and I stand on the ground, and I fully stretch out my solidified body.

"Hmm... duh. It was my first time in a dragon cage, but it wasn't long."

Illumhilt, who stepped out of the dragon cage, expressed that sentiment as he stretched out his body.

Because it doesn't depend on the terrain or the condition of the road, and it can be moved linearly. If we're not moving along the street, I guess we can do it sooner.

"Well, the airway. I know it's been a little narrow and tough to get home."

"Hehe. It must be your mother's figure, right? It's important."

And, Illumhilt laughs. Well...... yeah.

Bring your mother's things into the house from the dragon cage.

Lindblum and the others shouted as they carried their luggage in and headed back to the royal castle. Mm-hmm. I'm really glad I can't get my hands on it.

"Where do you carry this package?

"There was an extra room, and I'll let you use it as a study. Big pots and equipment... as we take them to the workshop later"

Answer Sheila holding a pile of books. Sheila nodded and went inside the house. Lavine, who can put a cloth wrap around his mouth, Cadkeus, and Mallane, who holds a book to carry him as far as he can, follow in a row.

Bookcases, etc., are to be followed. It would be a good idea to keep the large pot at the end of the house so that it can be moved quickly. It seems that it would be more convenient to have alchemy equipment and equipment in the workshop.

Well, it wasn't even a very long homecoming, but Term Wills got me back safely... but I think there's more to be done. Let's do it one by one.
