Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Thank you for waiting, Master Theodore. Mr. Mallane seems to be doing well and above all."

Mallane joyfully enters the room to the front of Penelope. Penelope also smiled and gently stroked Mallane's hair.

Penelope and Ophelia know Mallane's voice is back. Mallane went to say hello when we could talk.

Mallane rarely talks when her throat heals, but they don't say anything about it anyway. Something like a good understander watching over her.

"I'm sorry to keep you busy, Master Penelope. I need to talk to you today about the orphanage."

"No. I told you it had something to do with the Duobelis. I think we need to talk urgently."

It's a serious face, but it doesn't look unexpected. The information on the Duobelis' involvement naturally seems to be passed on to Penelope as well.

I tried the experiment in the workshop, and I was able to confirm the operation, so I'm just going to talk through it first.

So as I tied the line around the orphanage, I first decided to interview Penelope, the witch-head. Since the operating mother is the Temple of the Moon, it's easy and quick to talk to her even if you ask permission.

"It is also assumed that the followers of the Duobelis denomination will target the orphanage. So it's up to me to put security equipment in the orphanage."

Either way, the orphanage is in the West End. It's not a very safe place.

"Is that security equipment?

"That's right. I'll skip the magical details… So let's link contract magic, junction magic, and if an outsider breaks into the property, let's set off an alarm."

"That's... that's a great demon prop. It's for the safety of the kids. I'm responsible, so I'd like you to move on."

"Thank you"

Sheila and Illumhilt bowed their heads to Penelope.

"They're from an orphanage."

"Well, did you"

To the two words, Penelope broke up with each other.

"So, for your sake,"

The cost. As a result of discussions with Alfred, this alarm device assumes orders around aristocrats and big merchants.

Either way, the junction magic itself will take the form of a magic prop. It was estimated to be about 1,000 kiligs. That said, it's still in the experimental phase, so...

"What about 500 kiligs? It will be in the form of a catalyst for the maintenance of the junction and the demonic stones that will power it."

"It's also... I think it's a lot cheaper for these sorcery equipment."

"It's a combination of publicity and field tests."

It's cheap if you think it's a forward investment. In fact, even 500 is quite profitable.

Or the purpose of this one is to defend the orphanage. It's unpleasant to be served within sight with the hands of people who worship demons.

"Later, I hope you will acknowledge the letter to the orphanage. Well, I'm going to use a disguised ring to act."

Penelope is also a collaborator of Albert and Mallane. He also knows about the disguise, so he decided to ask frankly for help.

"Oh. Is that what happened? Then it won't. May I accompany you instead?

"Is there Master Penelope?

"Yes, because I would also like to say hello to Dean Sandra"

Penelope puts his hand on his chest and smiles. Well... is it faster that way?

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow"

"Best wishes"

Tomorrow. I was able to do the magic props, so I quickly put on a ring for the disguise and became Mattius's figure and headed with Penelope to the orphanage.

Sheila and Illumhilt are leaving messages that they will endure this time of year.

"Dear Penelope!

"Master Penelope!

"Oh."

When we get out of the carriage, the children who were in the orphanage courtyard come together. Looks like a penelope for you. Seeing as the children admire her, she may also be taking a trip to an orphanage where her feet thrive.

"This is Dear Penelope. There you are."

Sandra, the director of the orphanage, comes out of the building a little late from the kids.

"Hello, Master Sandra. I have an important story to tell you today about the Duobelis."

"Duobelis'...... and please come inside anyway."

Sandra leads me through to one of the orphanages.

"This is Mathius from the Brightwell Workshop on the East Side. Dear Mathius, this is Dean Sandra."

"It's Matthius. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Sandra, Dean."

Dean Sandra and I are familiar with each other, but we are equipped with a disguise ring, so we will introduce ourselves.

Penelope nodded where he named each other, getting to the point.

"I'm sure you're listening because the knights are coming on patrol here, too."

"Yes. I hear you've made a scene at the South Gate. So, the ambassador of the other world called the Knights to alert us to this orphanage."

"Right. Thank you."

Penelope smiles at me for a moment. Then I told Sandra about the alarm device.

"Actually, on this occasion, the workshop asked me if I could give you a field test for a new magic tool. For a more detailed explanation, please contact Mathius."

"Now, explain..."

Sandra nodded, so she explained the magic prop to me. The item itself is a substitute like a whistle and a megaphone on all sides of a crate. It was piercing work for several minutes, and Alfred's valve said he didn't have much time to look after it. Well, if the performance is real, it would be good.

"I see... I mean, is it like Naruko?

"Right. Would it be advantageous to be able to identify the person to intrude on? So we mount this box high and cover the orphanage in the junction. So the moment someone without a pass crosses the line, the box activates and sounds the siren."

Passes are wooden plaques embedded with demon stones. It would be fine in the form of a string to be raised from the neck, etc. The wooden box and plaque are already linked by contract magic.

Consider convenience and efficiency and identify the opponent at a timing that crosses the line, not in the form of constant identification by covering the site roundly at the junction. Also, by pulling the line and fixing it, it also accommodates the range and shape of the junction to a certain extent. We can respond on an ad hoc basis by providing an accessible location for outsiders.

But when it comes to identification at the junction line, the junction is junction. The effect is uniform throughout the enclosed interior. Therefore, a magic abnormality can also be sensed and reacted in the case where a transfer to the interior of the junction or the like has taken place. Well, I don't think that's necessary, just in case.

"... that's an amazing magic trick"

Sandra is blinking her eyes.

"If there doesn't seem to be any particular problem, let me work on the installation. I'll lay the line to enclose the place except from the gate to the reception room."

"Nice to meet you"

"Thank you for understanding. Sandra must have this pass. Because it's a little different from other passes."

Hand over the passes for the Dean.

"Then I'll work on it. In the meantime, I'd like to thank everyone in the orphanage for explaining the wooden plaque."

"Okay. Please, I'll take care of it."

The conversation was all wrapped up, so I decided to leave the room and get to work. Golem is used to draw the line with paint for the borderline that melts the catalyst and demon stone. Beginning with the gatepost, he circles around the premises so as to follow the inside of the fence. From the gate to the courtyard - leaving room for visitors to walk to the front entrance to draw the line of junction.

More in the building. We can do this by leaving a path from the front door to the reception room and laying a line to separate the inside of the reception room from the rest. corner of the room, ceiling. We will construct a line of boundaries in such a way as to leave space for outsiders to enter in three dimensions.

In the courtyard were officials and children with wooden plaques hanging around their necks, watching my work with interest. I guess the explanation over there is over.

Ask Sandra to look at the junction line before deciding where to install the demon prop body. The installation location was determined at the end of the second floor, in a place that sounded like a lot of noise. Replacing the Demon Stone wouldn't be that hard either because you can reach it through a nearby window.

Secure the crate with dirt magic. Connect the junction line with the crate. We're ready.

"Then I'll tie the line. Is the pass handed out okay?

"Yes, this one is fine"

"So..."

Touch the junction line to activate magic. Expand the magic circle to arrange the procedure according to Alfred's description, linking it to the demonic props and boundaries. Light ran along the line...... confirmed the junction worked.

"Then I'll try it"

Pass the wooden plaque you were wearing to the golem and cross the line.

And - at that moment, the crate made a shitty noise.

"Dear Sandra. Lay your hands on the wooden plaque I gave you earlier and remember to let the wind stop."

"Or is it the wind?

"Yes."

Sandra looked somewhat bewildered, but lays her hands on the wooden plaque as she was told.

A moment late, the noise stopped ringing. Receive a wooden plaque from the golem and cross the line of demarcation. It doesn't work this time. It feels good inside to be able to see exactly how it works as I set it up.

"... sounds good. Keep a small amount of blood on your pass. It is a testament to this agreement and can no longer be stolen or stolen and used by others."

I got as many passes as I could make in a limited amount of time, but I just haven't been able to get a pass for the number of people. It will be in the form of an outpatient pass that will operate without this agreement being used for some time.

I would need to sour my mouth and say something about how to manage passports, especially things that don't have owners. It's tough when this is stolen or lost. Although the pass is assigned a number so that the contract can be broken individually.

That said, there can be no vigilance or countermeasures if the seeds are not broken. If the followers of the Duobelis move, the first time will undoubtedly be caught indefensibly. Later it will be in the form of working with the Knights.

Most of all... maybe it would be nice to have peace without a chance.
