Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Finish your conversation with Isabella and go after the whorehouse - the West End.

We need to head to the royal castle, and there's something we need to tell Sheila, but we're sending Miriam to where she plans to become an East Side store first.

Sunny home. Not so much a big house, but it's tiny and feels pretty good. Yeah. If it's going to be a store, I might like it.

"Sounds like a good store."

"Thank you"

Miriam bows her head.

"Then there's the design thing...... I thought about this stuff. It was a little rough, so I'm sorry I'm late to give it to you."

Remove the stone medal made of earth magic. A winged mermaid is reaching out for a handshake with a soft grin. It's a logo, but it feels pretty deformed.

"... I see. Seeking friendship with each other."

"If there's going to be a problem, I'll think about it a little bit more, what do you think"

"No. I think this is a good design. You might want to put it up as a sign."

"Is that a sign? Now, let's make something that you can hang from."

"Is it true! Thanks!

Miriam bows her head. Now, the logo is now as a decision......

"Has Ashley and the others changed anything?

"No problem so far"

Ask Ashley and Ilmhilt, who were hitting store alert, but shake their heads sideways.

Hmmm...... Is Dexter still in motion?

"Mr. Miriam is here from today?

"Yes, I paid off the lodging, so I'm going to stay here"

"Okay. There's also the Randolph and Dexter thing, so would you mind putting people here and guarding them? I'll make sure things settle down early."

To my words, Miriam looks somewhat sorry.

"I'm distressed that you seem to be counting on me... If there's anything I can do, I can help."

"Okay. That said, it's a store that involves me, and it's my job. Don't worry too much"

"Thank you for your concern"

It's Dexter who's hostile to Miriam, not the Bandit Guild itself. I don't think he's the kind of guy who draws the line around it though, and if he is, he's a hassle to deal with on his own.

"Well. I'm going to go to the royal castle... I'm gonna move Cadkeus, so I was wondering if Sheila could stay on guard over here."

"Okay."

"We'll talk about alliance entanglement later"

"Mmm."

Sheila nodded as she looked at my face.

Head straight to the royal castle. Faced to the north tower, Rosemary, as usual, was facing the ancient documents at his desk. I guess I was decrypting.

"Oh. You're here."

"Yeah. I need to ask you a few questions. This is a souvenir."

"It's not cotton. Smells sweet."

I was analyzed with some seriousness when I gave him the cotton bread.

"Does this... mean you melted the sugar and spinned it like a yarn? It's called the bubbly drink you showed me before... you think funny"

And it fits. Well...... isn't this about Rosemary's specialty? When Rosemary carries the cotton bread into her mouth with her fingers, she mouths her thoughts.

"You melt easily. I don't hate sweets, but I'm gonna want some tea."

So I move to the table and go ahead and have a cup of tea across the street.

"Not the usual story today... I need to ask you something about this"

Show the seedling painting Miriam gave me. Rosemary covered her mouth with a feather fan and stared at the painting for a while, but eventually opened her mouth.

"I think I've seen it in the literature before, but I don't think so."

Rosemary brings a book when she stands up.

Compare the information written on paper with the information in the ancient documents and nod.

"Again, yes. The tail of a squug slough. Medicines made from sap include analgesics, hallucinations. Then it has the effect of making you forget your anxiety. They say that certain minorities also use it for rituals... but when overuse interrupts the effect, they say they should not use it immediately because there is recoil."

"Still need to stop using it?

"Though it is expressed here that fairies will not be able to invite me back. Poisons and pills mean everything."

... that kind of thing after all.

"Do you mean that you bring this stuff... that someone is bringing this to Term Wills?

"I'm going to find out that and smash it. When I grew up with seedlings, I wanted to know what would happen. I'm in trouble if I can't identify you."

"… then I'll write down the characteristics"

Randolph and Dexter bases. Then we've already got information from Isabella about the two ships we own. Cadkeus has already moved it.

All you have to do is find out where you're cultivating it and smash it. Eradication of the tail of the Squagslow grown, if possible. It would be desirable for Randolph or Dexter to be caught alive to squeeze information from customers and counterparties.

Cadkeus is now the headquarters of Randolph. Isabella said to be careful if they are hostile because they have people for all sorts of rough things... in this case, on the contrary, you should explore the heavily guarded areas.

"... I see"

Randolph's mansion - underground in the courtyard. The waterway is through and the skylight is up there. It's just like a greenhouse. Plants consistent with information obtained from Miriam and Rosemary.

A one-sided skug slough field? I also found a compartment where I'm capturing slaves. Naturally it is unfair to treat debt slaves. Totally... you're making a lot of noise.

"What?"

"No. I'm sorry I'm in a hurry, but I've got eyes on me, so I have to move a lot. First, I have to report it."

"Really? Just like I did. So you don't give me time to gather information. I wanted to tell you something else, but it would certainly be better to prioritize you."

"Well... I'll be back soon to hear that story."

I'm also curious about the information you get from the two Sylvatorian magicians.

"- So it is possible that such seedlings are being brought to Termwilds"

King Melvin floated the tannic side when he gave a report on the tail of Squawgslow at the salon.

"To a slaver, a drug that confuses people..."

"I have eyes on Randolph's M.O.... but I won't reveal around where the information came from in the first place. There were circumstances regarding the origin of the provider."

"... Hmm. Residents of the West End."

"They don't seem to be a single rock either. Please forgive me."

"I know."

King Melvin smiles bitterly at my words. King Melvin is changing his language, but he assumed it was a bandit guild entanglement.

"It's a drug unknown to the public, what kind of treatment would this be?

"Submit a notification of the sale of a new drug, reveal its potency, and then sell it. Therefore, it is illegal to sell unknown drugs on your own. No matter what kind of medicine is notified, it is prohibited first. That being said... if it's an item you've never seen, there's a hard part to control..."

... I see. We don't have a way out of this because we changed the ingredients slightly.

"I'd like to move the soldiers..."

"Is there a problem?

"I have an idea of the medicines that are made from the tail of Squawgslow. There are drugs out there in distant countries like that."

"... oh. He said it's hard to move the Knights in the name of drugs and catch them for the most part."

"That's what I'm talking about. It would be urgent to cut off the supply first... but then I get a headache considering the contact and compensation"

Randolph won't let it circulate in the country - because he'll be snitched by rival factions when he treats it in Verdogal? I guess that's where the title as a trader plays its part.

But I know it's there and I'm not even going to say anything sweet enough to overlook it.

"Randolph also has a problem in the direction of slave trader entanglement. If it means maintaining a relationship with the labyrinth..."

"Hmm...... I don't suppose that's why ambassadors move."

I've finished reporting to King Melvin, and I've got your permission. Get in touch with your buddies on the comms and tell them what you found out about the tail of Skugslow on the way to Randolph's mansion.

"Well...... these drugs are bad in nature anyway. It's another evil of a different nature than magic medicine."

And it also got a little bit like lecturing me about the dangers of the drug system.

"I see..."

"The plants themselves aren't bad though. I guess what Mr. Miriam doesn't know is valuable, and if he's not, it's more convenient to keep it that way. So for now... all the stocks in Termwilds are in a policy of destroying"

"Okay."

Miriam was also to accompany them as they would all get in and smash them. The store is just a building, and the interiors and furniture are still there. If you get attacked by a misfit, I'll rebuild it with magic architecture if I have to.

Because it is a state of war, the home is locked from the gate through the door, so that everyone can evacuate from the basement. Assuming you step into my house, it looks like you can evacuate to the Labyrinth Village at any time.

"... Sheila"

"What?"

"I want to talk to you about Sheila's parents, okay?

Sheila looks at me and nods quietly.

"Sheila, do you know what the two of you were doing?

"... I don't know. You didn't tell me about the job. You didn't tell me if I asked. But... now that I think about it, I wonder if that's why it wasn't a normal job. Like the Bandit Guild."

Right... right. Sheila herself, to some extent, said she had an imagination of her parents' work.

You wouldn't think it was just the guild leader's escort class......

"One day, my father and mother were heard to have died in a carriage accident. Even though Isabella hasn't asked me in a long time because they don't tell me all the details..."

Sheila closes her eyes and once she cuts the words, she looks straight at me.

"Whatever I was, I always wanted to know that. If it has anything to do with what's happening now, it's a misdemeanor. If Theodore asks you anything, I want you to tell me."

... right.

"- I'm going to check that out now."

Let Isabella talk to you about Sheila's parents' work.

"Looking over the information and guessing...... Randolph could be involved in Sheila's parents' accident. The time has come to get the seedlings."

Sheila opens her eyes to my words.

Randolph was ambitious when he got the Squawgslow seedlings from Dexter. That's why I killed my predecessor guild chief carriage, who was wrapping up a bandit guild. That kind of background.

"This one is only a guess yet. I don't know for sure until Randolph is tightened up - but I'll affirm it if I'm hostile, and I'll cooperate."

"... ok"

Sheila nods quietly. Even if I look around at my people, I'm nodding.

I think it's something Sheila wants to know about her parents and something she needs to know. That said, even if you tell her that, you have to be careful not to go ahead on your own.

That's why they didn't ask me at Isabella's... now I can tell them because we're all on our way to Randolph's.

So it's not a fight from here. Just hunting the blind. Instead of acting alone, we all smash it for sure. I would never admit a situation where I would be hurt by a counterattack from Randolph.

Well - I got near Randolph's mansion in the West Side. Isabella's told me the truth, and I'm confirming Randolph's home.

"What do we do?

"You can cut to the front and go in... but if they get away and bring up Skugslough, or the rest of the party will be in trouble. If you're going to do it thoroughly, there's no one left."

Hands on the ground. Focus your spirit. There will be no circulation and the range and range of earthly magic will be widened as much as possible. We need time to prepare. You can't go into a state of combat. That's why this is the first one.

The structure of the building, the size of the site is known -.

"Let's go."

The stone walls rise from where I lay my hands, covering Randolph's grounds round. Soon Randolph's mansion was isolated from the outside world.

Now they are the rats of the sack. Come on - shall we go smash it?
