Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"I see...... Is the way you rotate your liver?"

Talcott squeaks with a frown root at the movement of my wrapped handballs. Pretty good observation eye.

"That was a little around the top, wasn't it? Yeah, you can do that, you can move it well, you can take a place in your favor the next time you hit it, you can adjust your movements after you play it."

"When you hit the edge, the bouncing angle changes with the intensity you play."

"This is deep..."

Chester to Alfred and Talcott, plus four of Miriam, have billiard rigging with a serious look.

He's in the billiards because he wants to see my skill, but it seems to be a pretty good stimulus. Challenging moves and reversing them and digging graves also gives the game depth.

In the meantime, as I expected, Chester was originally good at spears, and the queue runs out quite a bit.

Then I put a backspin on my balls and play 8 or 9 and drop it in my pocket. And, cheers and applause happened.

"There's some way to make you jump or bend the ball... but if you're not used to it, I'll break Rasha, so it helps if you play normally for a while"

"Yeah. Well, let's see how you twitch earlier."

It doesn't just seem billiards are thriving. Above all. What about the others?

I hear Serafina liked the dedicated darts. He seems to be playing with darts and thriving with Ashley.

Forestbird and Oswald, Auria seem to be playing cards.

"There you go. Oswald, would you give me your card?"

"All the time..."

Auria seems to dominate at the moment. It was an occasion when Oswald was dedicating a strong card to Auria.

"... uh. I'm sorry. I've been wondering since I saw you at the theater the other day...... haven't I seen you anywhere? Shall I say I feel like I've known this for a long time? Somewhere, I feel strange."

As I glanced over the entire entertainment room, I saw Penelope speaking to Claudia with a slightly strange look. Mallane laughs happily near it.

It is Penelope, a witch-head. Maybe I have something to think about Claudia's impression.

"Yes, I think so."

Claudia turns her gaze to me. Is that where it should be revealed to her or not?

Nod and head to them. Penelope can be trustworthy about Mallane. Claudia doesn't seem to like it very much to be seen with special eyes... but if you explain it, including the circumstances around it, Penelope will understand.

Claudia also has some idea of who Penelope is, and she must have asked me because she wants to reveal it to her. Then I want to do exactly what Claudia thinks.

"Can you come over here?

All three of them head out into the courtyard and move to a bench a little further away.

"I know it will surprise you -"

Preceding that, Claudia reveals herself to be Shuas.

"That's... right. Surprised......"

Penelope seemed distracted, but eventually he nodded with a serious look and narrowed his eyes to see even the divine.

"But I do... I feel convinced if you ask me. From Claudia, I feel the same thing as when I was commissioned."

Mallane snorts snortedly and is stroked in the head by a smiling penelope.

"I'm sorry you're not what you're told in the temple. If you need proof, I'll send Penelope a revelation."

Oh. Claudia cares a little because she's a child.

"That's not true. Because I've been told in the inheritance that you look like a beautiful girl. I think that was Claudia."

"If we're talking in the labyrinth... maybe we are."

Claudia laughs bitterly.

"If Master Claudia wants, the story now is only in my chest. We are proud to serve Claudia, who has watched over us and guided us."

Penelope puts his hand on his chest, closes his eyes and lowers his head. Sometimes Claudia said she didn't want you to treat her too much like a goddess, and she seemed to show the utmost respect while trying not to look up.

"I, too, am grateful to the children of the Temple. Without you, the children here wouldn't be so easily accepted."

Claudia tilts her little neck and narrows her eyes gently. As for the basement where the residents of the labyrinth village are accepted, I'm sure they are.

"... Speaking of which. What's going on with non-Claudia gods?

Second, I ask concerned.

Shuas is the only one who is worshipped as God...... Claudia is not the only one. There seems to be no doubt that there are those who provide power as a blessing to respond to the prayers of the witches in each sect.

So - maybe what other gods are supposed to be are not royalty of the moon?

They're supposed to be spiritual kings after all these years.

"Spirit King...... right. Because spirits depend on people's thoughts..."

That's the same way Serafina got weird traits from the ghost riots.

"Right. The fact that the spirits with great power were worshipped eventually fixed their direction and gained their divinity. I have some similarities, but like the spirits, it doesn't depend on the essence."

So the commandments of the Moon Goddess can be particularly loose compared to other places. When directions become fixed spirits, many parts will be less accommodating than Claudia.

Still, there are places where there is not much conflict in religious relations, either because there are many naturally worshipping gods whose origins are exclusively in the Spirit, or because they are more interrelated than in conflict with other gods.

Well, if there are many threats that demons are demons in a magic storm, can human bonding progress?

"No, it was good hot water"

"That's more than anything."

After the banquet, Miriam is in a good mood when she returns from the Baths.

"This is your room"

"Ooh...... This is interesting."

Miriam leaks her admiration when she leaves the room on Cecilia's guide. I knew he'd be interested in the loft.

The loft has the disadvantage that heat tends to swing in the summer because it is on top, but it is also somewhat concerned with air conditioning that simple wind magic, water magic can be carved into the demonic stone to cool and circulate the air.

"If the room is hot, please adjust it by fitting the magic stone in here"

"It's because you're exhausted..."

I skipped it this time because I'm going to need a bit of a big magic item - but by winter I'd like to get my hands on it in magic architecture and have a central heating in each room through a hot water pipe.

A knock sounds in the room.

"Yes."

When Miriam answers, the door opens and Grace shows herself in a gracious manner.

"What's wrong?

"Dear Ophiglia, Dear Talcott and Cindy would also like to stay"

"Mm-hmm. I can afford a room, okay?

"When I got out of the bath, he said he wanted to gather in Mr. Alfred's room for a card tournament...... what do you do?

"Join. What will Mr. Miriam do?

"If it's okay with me, I'm sure"

Miriam smiles.

"How about Cecilia join us? It's nighttime, so there 'll be less work."

"Are you sure?

"I worked hard during the banquet. I want you to invite Michaela too. I'm sure all the servants are taking turns taking a break."

"Thank you. I think Master Michaela will be pleased."

Cecilia nods happily.

"Then - I will clear the rest of the work so that I can ask you there as soon as possible."

When I said that and lowered my head, I left the room.

Grace laughs and drops off Cecilia.

"Well, I'll get my tea ready"

Right. I'm going to be staying pretty late tonight. Let's all enjoy the cards slowly.
