Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"- So maybe we should strengthen security patrols around the workshop. Not just thieves, but maybe some kind of payback."

"Marquis Broderick."

Tomorrow. When I went to the workshop to tell him about one last night and let him hear it, Alfred put on his arms and laughed bitterly.

"Even if I had no choice but to depress mine output, I should have been told to invest in the future development that has to be used as a source of income... That was six years ago... because there are places that have fallen behind in terms of less damage"

... the King of Dead Sleep.

He walked around and fell apart from the plague. Considerable damage should have been done not only in Count Gartner's territory and Baron Sirn's territory, but also in neighbouring countries.

I guess the reason the Marquis fled the ordeal... is because my mother stopped it on the Count's territory.

"But I don't think they've improved at all."

The Marquis was skipping Kathleen's instructions as part of a fiscal rebuild. It may have failed to develop agricultural land, or it may have done so because the development was slow to take shape.

"I think so. The fact that I'm stuck enough to sign up for debt from you... I don't mind shaping it."

"Absolutely."

Although it is definitely not a relationship between my grandfather and my grandson... it is a relationship close to that. I can't help but usually hear about my grandfather who sneaks up on luxury and signs up for debt to his grandson.

"My father has a lot going on, and he's making me nervous. This country was much more peaceful until the Dead Sleeping King arrived, and even if it passed, it wouldn't have bothered to rub with the surrounding countries, would it?

"The central area was less damaging, and I'm guessing that's how many people sat in peace."

Long history, too. It really comes out that when a country matures, there will be more corruption. King Melvin was focused on rebuilding the damaged region, so I guess there's a part of the center that was neglected for that matter.

But - it is such a shameful scandal at this time of year. Wouldn't the wind against the Marquis be considerably harsher if conveyed to King Melvin's ears?

Both Count Gartner and Baron Siln have been rebuilt, and the Marquis has been proposed for improvement once before, and nothing has happened.

"Naturally... I don't think the Marquis can blame you for not being able to repay your debts."

Alfred says.

"It looks like he's about to retire by giving up the housekeeper."

"I guess."

In that case, Dad's financial sanctions may be in anticipation. Hold Kathleen to block influence from the Marquis and information leaks. Would it be best to consider lending and conveniently converge with the new Marquis Principal, who is unstable, by using his hands where the Lord has replaced him and actively cooperating with him?

Sometimes he just said not to bother me. The Marquis came to me, maybe an unexpected case for my father. In fact, I didn't expect to sign up for debt either.

The economic sanctions are already in motion... Marquis' nostalgia - that is, the period between the Marquis's departure from the Lord's throne was somewhat opaque, so his father is twofold around the measures, from short-term to medium- and long-term.

That's why it starts in a place where it's hard to see where the responsibility lies, disguised as a natural phenomenon in winter.

But the Marquis came to me this time, just in case. If the scandal of speaking up for debt everywhere and eventually coming to me, etc... it will undoubtedly shrink the time before the Marquis leaves the Lord's throne.

The Marquis is almost stuffed. Then it's the Marquis' cauldron that bothers me.

"What about the descendants of the Marquis?

"My oldest son has a good reputation. But I also hear that Marquis and I are very unfriendly."

"Uh..."

I can imagine as many reasons for disintermediation. That's all I would do to love you if you were serious.

Nevertheless... if you retire in a scandal and your misbehaving eldest son succeeds you, it's possible that the end of the marquis won't be a cold meal.... Maybe that's why you were desperate around?

"Leaving my eldest son flying and letting my second son inherit seems possible. My second son is adored by his father. Naturally, people can guess what they want."

"You're going to take over the second son for protection? That marquis could be enough."

Then the faction in charge of the eldest son came out, and there was a place that could be a disturbance in your home.

"I wonder if I can't not report it to your father. The sooner the information gets through, the better."

Alfred shook his little rash and sighed.

... Hmm. Is this the place to talk about the Marquis? Let's talk about the material we picked in the previous Guardian room now, so we can keep in touch with Dad later.

"By the way, how's Nautilus shell and Archeron's methyl?

Nautilus shells are lightweight and medium sturdy. It has the properties of accumulating magic and has the ability to regenerate in front of itself for as long as it takes.

For some time after crushing, it can be regenerated with healing magic. Using it, the shape can be freed and connected to a certain extent by putting fragments into moulds and hanging healing magic. Because of this, various processing methods seem to be good for application, so I am in the process of inquisiting the usage.

"Though I've thought about it a lot, I guess the Nautilus shell is protective equipment. There's a lot of magic to build in, so I think incorporating protection would be quite a defense."

The pearl cutlass that Nautilus had has similar properties... but Sheila took it as it was because it was lightweight.

The original sword bore dagger is chained like a Grace axe and processed to make it easy to use for throwing.

"You wanted to strengthen Miss Illumhilt's protective gear. How about incorporating it as armor into a skirt shaped chainmail...?

"I think it's good. I think we should put a slit in the front so we don't get in the way of moving."

"Okay. Let's make it in that direction. Arkeron's armor will be ready soon. I'll call you when it's done."

Copy that.

Archeron's methyl was allowed to be processed by saucers. By embedding demonic stones, holding them in the air with a shield, and rotating them with an airblast, this specification can be used for both defense and attack. Since it is Mallane that is suitable for controlling these items, it is planned to become her armor and medium range weapon.

It was of considerable quality when it came to the demonic stones extracted from the rest of Deadshark and Nautilus. This is going to go to Grace and Ashley. Later it feels like what to incorporate as a surgical formula.

"How's the reinforcement going?

"Well, not quite."

When I made the new gear, I made it. I had to get good at it. I just want to make something commensurate with their characteristics, weaknesses, and processing power.

"Mmm..."

"What's wrong?

When I got home and was indulgent for a while, it was about time the sun fell and darkened, and Sheila, who was taking care of her weapon, accidentally looked up.

Sheila isn't the only one. Illumhilt and Lavine are also reacting.

They seem to feel signs at the door at all times. Put it down for a little while and the knock sounds. Someone's definitely been visiting. I don't think it's a marquis tangle.

"Who is it?

When Grace spoke up, there was an immediate response.

Claudia.

... Yep.

The address was given, but do you normally visit me from the front entrance? It is genuine, but it is so obvious that it is uncomfortable from the point of view of her presence.

Bring Claudia inside the house. Immediately Grace brought the tea set.

That figure that sits correctly in a chair at the fold and holds a teacup. Though the dress is not out of place than in the labyrinth.

"I woke up this morning. I apologize for being late at night. Because I didn't like it in the eyes."

... I see. Next time you decide to keep the basement storage organized and have it transferred directly to you?

Then the materials in the basement - can I make them in storage in the garden?

"I came here today to thank you for the wake-up call."

"I don't know what you did to thank me."

"... the village is in a very bright atmosphere because Illumhilt is back"

Claudia leaned her little neck and grinned, illumhilt brightening her expression.

... Oh well. I had to banish my kids, or something. It was a bitter decision for them, too. A candle. That Illumhilt looked healthy - seems to have a better impact on them than I thought.

But Claudia is also disciplined or something to say when she wakes up and comes to visit.
