Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Rosemary and its notes. A book that supposedly captures the soul.

First, we were to bring these into my mansion. To get a backup from Claudia.

Rosemary is forbidden by slave magic to exercise magic or create magic drugs. Furthermore, measures have been taken to prohibit the divulging of information obtained with magic drugs.

It is the former that is at issue in the present situation. If magic can be exercised, it will help you get out of the book, whether you work with me or not. But we really need to recognize ourselves to unlock the slave magic, and Rosemary himself needs to give the answer.

Either the person holding the slave magic reins, the person mastering the technique for disarming, or the person with the magic prop for disarming, which is a treasure, needs to be in direct contact with the person.

In short, it means that the preconditions for release cannot be fulfilled without going inside the book. Because it is King Melvin who holds the reins of Rosemary's slave magic, this cannot be asked to go in the book.

The same goes for those who know the procedure. It doesn't make sense to be a non-combatant when you go inside.

So I enter the book with my magic props... but it is on my physical side that I possess them. There was an unknown part of the book - whether it would be applied in a state of soul alone.

"What it says… When you have some understanding of the description of the procedure, the trap will be activated and drawn into the world inside. As I was just telling you precautions about the Keeper... do you have any other questions?

"Fine. I want you to be prepared for a double shipwreck because I will first make a round copy without deciphering the page that was open"

Copy as is the letter written in ink on the paper and pass it to Claudia. In order to proceed with the decryption in a way that is not relevant to the book, thereby allowing for the rapid entry of personnel later.

"Yeah. I'll take care of everything since Theodore got inside."

Claudia nods with a serious look as she receives the paper.

"... please be careful. I'll be on my way."

"Dear Theodore... please don't get hurt"

"Go home, come"

Grace, Ashley and Mallane were... worrying faces.

"It's okay."

I smile at them like that and hug them for a while. I guess I'm worried because single-entry means I'm not on my own as usual. As for the debilitation of the flesh due to magic depletion, it should be possible to delay by replenishing the flesh with magic potion.

"Take care, Theodore"

"When Justia and Dominic get here, I'll back you up with a curse."

"I'll help you with the Ill too"

Sheila, Illumhilt, Serafina. Nodding at them.

"Good luck."

"Please be careful"

And Cecilia and Michaela. Fortock, Claire and the residents of the labyrinth village. Face the book as they watch you.

"Mm-hmm. Well, I'll be there"

As we head inside, we have one problem. It's usually impossible to bring in gear to draw souls in, I hear.

So through the magic that I circulated to Uroboros and Kimaira Court, I take measures to make them falsely identify themselves as part of me pseudo. Both Uroboros and Kimyra Coat are magical creatures. Whether it works or not, is this half or something?

Cadkeus leaves. I could confirm that the magic was connected. I may be able to make contact with the outside world.

Illuminate and decipher the dictionary and Rosemary's notebooks as they increase their magic in circulation. The letters used are from the old days... but I was used to doing a lot of decryption work.

Originally it was a trap, and Rosemary's notebook makes it less difficult to decipher itself.

Description of the procedure. As the deciphering of meaning progresses, I feel like a scene comes to mind.

It's a city. The streets somewhere. Flying silver fish with the shadows.

For a moment my consciousness wandered away - I learned what it felt like to dazzle my eyes - and if I noticed, I was in the middle of a strange city.

The surroundings are open and full of things, but there is no sign of an attack. Uroboros and Kimaira Court are fine. It's following. Circulation also… can be done. No problem. The magic belt connects the flesh to the book.

I feel a connection to Cadkeus... but I can't seem to link it. I can't see what's going on out there, but, well, it would be possible to let them know that the minimum instructions seem to be safe because they can fly.

Look around. The streets are unnatural somewhere. There is no trace of a person's life. There is no deterioration or texture that should come out with the years. It has the impression that it is a crop or a tasteless dry moulded town.

Huge castle in the distance. The people on the road are like vain shadows. Occasionally, he leaks something like a bitter groan.

Eyes and mouth. Just three empty faces with round holes. A blurry, pungent body. He looked like he was walking for no purpose.

If you look up at the sky, a silver creature flying around at a bullet-like rate. That's a giant paper fish. What kind of a bookworm is that? The sky is more cloudy and creepy... but this is certainly in the book.

The so-called book bug is a bug called the Shebamboo, but I don't see you there. Are paper fish allowed to be there because they eat less?

Anyway, no shadow dweller, no paper fish, not for me. I don't know what happens when you stimulate.

Nevertheless...... somehow I have a familiar feeling that I miss.

"Oh... this is-"

This discomfort is similar when you're in a space reproduced on the VR.

If you look at it from that perspective, you can see that the streets are occasionally littered with noise, like fragmentary symbols that don't make sense.

Claudia said the watchman is the ruler who builds and maintains this world, but is only on a par with the prisoners. That's the way the contract works, the spell, I see.

He said that his abilities in real life would be accurately reflected, but the reality was close to the spiritual world... I see.

A virtual space that draws souls in? If you ask me, it's similar to VR.

But there's more to it now than to think about it. The analysis needs to be done in this corner, and we need to find Rosemary.

The only question is how do we find someone who doesn't know where they are?

I don't like it, but the first thing I can think of is going to the castle where I can see it... Rosemary would be the type of person who first gets a good idea of the situation and then moves.

If so - is it reasonable to make a scene while giving the other party a sign that you know it?

Walk through the city for a while first - out to the square. Would it be good around here? Together with the implications of ascertaining the sense of magic use in the book, it was decided to send out an autograph to Rosemary.

The way - golem creation. Collapse the cobblestone and create a giant golem.

The shadow dwellers move away in slow motion, but the paper fish seem to have noticed this one, and I'm going to fly in.

Paper fish. It's not like I want to deal with them much either...

"Stay out of the way"

Strike off all the paper fish rushing in at high speeds with uroboros. The moment I touched the magical dragon wand, I left a splash of silver and scattered it. Moves quickly but brittle. You won't even have to be so sure as to be aggressive.

Expand the shield. The moment the paper fish touches it, it explodes like a silver fireworks when it strikes in with magic manipulation. A moment late, the ancient letters run away like noise.

About a dozen? Being appropriately a paperfish opponent while making the golem huge, he moved away from the other side, apparently realizing it would not be a battle.

Still flying around in far-rolls - but for now, the paper fish seems to have given up their attack on me. Since no one else seems to be attacking me, I concentrate on building the golem.

Soil Magic 7th Class Creative Huge Golem. It's a bigger golem than any of those buildings, but it looks just like me. I think maybe Rosemary will notice better and come see how it goes. I myself would just have to float around overhead in a levitation.

Well... if this doesn't make you realize, you might need to smash the streets a little bit.

"I thought you'd finally lost my mind..."

As per the prospectus, or after a while Rosemary showed up in the square.

It's an arrow tip I was thinking about smashing down the streets. I'm glad I made it.

"No injuries, above all."

That's what I said and landed on the ground. The paper fishes attacked you, or the hem of your rosemary dress is torn. I would have picked it up from somewhere. I have a bar-cut - but I feel like I've seen it, and I don't seem to be hurt.

"Why are you here?

Rosemary seems to have been taken aback, but he says that.

"To rescue. Outside the book, Rosemary's body is like a shell."

Returning such an answer, Rosemary turned her eyes round.

"Of the book, outside? Yes... that sort of thing. So you understand I didn't run away, I was captured. Is it left outside just the body? I see..."

Looks like Rosemary got a percentage accurate idea of his situation in my words.

"First... thank you, I'll thank you. But..."

For a moment I said it, Rosemary floats a tannic surface.

"Given the circumstances, you're much more important, aren't you? Is this your father's decision?

Do they think I jumped in without any previous information? Sure... From Rosemary's point of view, you don't even know if you have the means to get outside.

I'm more important to the Verdogal kingdom today, and most importantly, because I'm the one who did the hem.

"No. I suggested it. Let's just sit around and talk."

I say by pointing to the table at a restaurant-like shop near the fountain. Rosemary nodded when he found out he wasn't attacking, although he seemed concerned about the paper fish over him.

Neither the seats nor the supply come to pick up the order, but they sit across from the table.

"In conclusion, I can go outside."

"How can you say that?

Rosemary looks uncomfortable somewhere. Maybe it's because I don't have the feather fan I always use. I'm wearing a dress.

"I have someone who knows about the trap set in the book. They say the way out is to destroy the Keeper somewhere in the book."

"Keeper......?

"He's the ruler of this world, but conditionally he's on par with us. And by doing so, we are increasing the power of the spell."

"… to increase effectiveness by carrying disadvantages."

"So I've also kept magic props to solve slave magic... thank you. You don't have it over here, so you can't use it."

It's a magic prop in the form of a key... but I don't possess you right now.

"You've been putting out a treasure? I'll have a priori."

Could it be a trap set by Rosemary? That's too cluttered for a measure.

"I thought that was hard to think about. I knew in advance that the book existed, and I was certain that I could use the magic props in it, and even more so, I would have put it in my calculations until I came to help."

"Right. I guess I'm too optimistic for a bet. I don't feel like I can win a fight, whether I fight it or not."

That's what I say, shoulder to shoulder.

"Well, let's move on. If you don't hang around much in this, your flesh is going to die more debilitated. debilitation due to magic depletion, or else you will starve to death or dehydrate. I'm trying to use the magic props at heart, but they don't seem to work."

"Step on it or kick it. Paper fish can be managed without magic, but the keeper probably can't do it to me even if I stand upside down."

Apparently, he was outwitted without magic until I got here. Sure, they're brittle, but they're still flying around pretty fast.

But if the demonic props of the slave magic curse do not take effect, Rosemary's power will remain sealed.... Well, that's not what I expected either. We have to do something about it.
