Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

A little while after Ashley replied to Kennel, now she's contacted my comms. It's from my father. It says we'll arrive at Termwilds at night.

I was wondering if he would come after a night in Baron Sirn territory... but I guess that means he was ready even in Baron Sirn territory because he had contacted me beforehand.

Still somewhat of a forcible army, but maybe there's something about my father and Kennel that's in a hurry.

"He says his father is coming. I thought I'd pick you up along the way."

Even though it is a dragon cage, it will be a night trip, so you can also escort it from here... there are some places you can feel safer picking it up.

... Right. This is a dragon cage too, shall we all pick it up? It won't be enough to get the airship out. It makes me look bad when I move there.

"Let's get ready for the dragon cage. Is Lindblum the courtyard of the house? I have to pick you up."

"Okay."

"Now let me accompany you in Saphir, too"

That's what I say. Elliot gets up, too. Of course not. Elliot will want to meet someone as soon as possible.

"Then... I'll go for a little bit. My father also has a mansion in Term Wills, but I don't think he's heard from you yet... so maybe you could come to my house."

Old Siegmund nods when I say that.

"Uhm...... Non wants to think a little quietly, so let him wait at Termwilds. Be careful, my lord."

"Yes, because I will leave Cadkeus here"

Cadkeus, who looks like a cat, can be held by Valentina.

Okay. I need to go home first. Lindblum... was playing with the Carbuncles in the courtyard of my house. Let's tell Cecilia and the others to prepare for the welcome as we accompany Lindblum.

I'll call my dads on the comms, and then I'll leave Termwilds. You should be able to rendezvous if you head down the street towards Baron Siln territory. Sometimes it can be a mistake to go somewhere if you regularly exchange rough spots and breaks with your father on a comm plane.

Since I am an escort this time, I am not riding in a dragon cage, but moving across Lindblum. Elliot is also on Saphir, flying beside the dragon cage.

I have a bird-like foot barole grabbed on my shoulder. I don't know what you think of moving around in Lindblum, but he was blinking at the scenery for a moment.

That's how we're moving over the streets, Elliot said.

"When I was a little girl Camilla was like... waving a sword"

Nostalgic voice. Is that because it's out of the knight's house?

"Maybe it's also the effect that Mr. Elliot is now able to handle the sword?

"Right. I also trained with Camilla. Even after they told me I had a magical talent at a place to study. As a lord, I also wonder if it would have been better to focus solely on water magic. If you think about it, you can also say Camilla saved my life."

... Right. I guess I could have fought on a boat because I had been training swords since I was a little girl.

So there's the part about Zadias and Ragnal being watched, but I can tell you that and this is because of the childhood Elliot spent with Camilla.

That's how I went about talking to Elliot and giving Fei Long and Saphir and the others a break... when the sunset started dyeing the area, I saw a dragon cage coming this way from afar.

If you zoom in with light magic and look...... it's definitely my father's dragon cage. The family crest of Earl Gartner's territory is painted.

"… that technique, that's convenient"

"I'm talking to Alfred, trying to prop it up. It might help to equip the airship."

This technique will allow you to grasp your opponent from a distance.

As I approached the dragon cage as it was, my father turned from the other side.

"Hello, Father"

"Theodore? It's good to meet you."

"We're out of time"

"Mm-hmm. Looking good, above all."

and exchanges words with my father.

"Are the Camillas with you?

"Uhm. Sir Elliot is accompanying you."

Dad looks at Elliot straddling Saphir and says: Apparently, Ashley and I both found out at a glance that he was Elliot as a knowledgeable father.

"Welcome first, Count Gartner"

"Welcome, Sir Elliot"

Elliot's expression is somewhat tense. You look just nervous.

"... restless on the sky. I'd like to get the dragon cage down there and talk to you, okay?

My father said, showing me that he cares a little about the inside of the dragon cage.

I'm sure there are camillas and kennels behind it... but I guess that doesn't mean I can just push my father over and show his face out the window.

Explore your gaze and find a suitable place to unload the dragon cage.

"Okay. I think I can get the dragon cage down in that area. Lindblum."

and ask Lindblum to lead the Fei Dragons taking the dragon cage.

When Lindblum raised his voice, the two dragon cages slowly descended to the side of the street, in an open place.

Me and Elliot descend to the ground first, followed by a dragon cage with Grace and the others on board, descending to the ground in the order of a dragon cage with my dads on board.

And the door of the dragon cage was opened - a woman came out of it.

When you were in your early twenties, or younger than that? From Elliot's story, I thought he was an active person... skinny, slightly unhealthy skin whiteness.

"Camilla."

Elliot calls her name. Camilla, called by name, opens her eyes and takes a serious peek into Elliot's face.

"... Elliot... really -"

Tears in her eyes as she felt it, Camilla ran to Elliot's and hugged her to jump into its chest.

"Good......! Really, good......! Welcome back......!

"... I'm home. Sorry, I'm late."

Says Elliot, who stopped holding Camilla. After hugging her for a while, she moved away from either. As the sunset dyes the area red, the two take their hands and face each other.

"You've grown tall."

Looking up at Elliot, Camilla gave a mixed look with all sorts of emotions, still seemingly crying out.

"... right. The last time I saw him, Camilla was bigger."

"There's a scratch on my face..."

Camilla frowns when she touches Elliot's cheek.

"I'm hurt like this and I think it's bad for Camilla"

Camilla was teary-eyed, but smiled bitterly and shook her neck to the side.

"He lived, he came back. I'm glad to hear that. Does it hurt?

"Oh."

For Elliot, who was spending time wearing a mask... it seems that this wound is also the only proof that he is the same person as Benedict.

Sometimes the relationships we have built in Sylvatria will be useful for both Verdogal and Sylvatria in the future. So if you keep it that way. That's what Elliot said. Still... I may have been anxious to show Camilla.

"Fight and get hurt... He hit me in the head then. I've lost my memory ever since."

"Yes...... It was."

"Camilla had... made me feel hard about me"

"My father was injured six years ago, too, because he stayed home all the time... Me too... I can't think of going anywhere else, and I don't really go out anymore."

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

"Yeah."

Thoughts about Elliot and worries about his father. Is it that Camilla left her sword with them? That's probably why I got the impression of being less active.

At first glance, Kennel, who saw the sight, was wiping tears with a handkerchief. Camilla's fatherly figure next to her also stands with her eyes narrowed to see dazzling objects.

Ashley also... smiled calmly as she seeped tears into her eyes and Grace and the others were leaning against her.

When I looked at them, they smiled at me. I smile back quietly, too.

"I'm home, Kennel"

Elliot speaks to Kennel, who was watching the two from a short distance.

Welcome back, Master Elliot.

Kennel gives a deep salute in tears.

Camilla and Kennel just settled down, Elliot said.

"Lord Theodore, who was there, saved me. You got my memory back."

To the word, Camilla and her father. Kennel's gaze gathers at me.

"Bring Elliot to us - how can I put it? I can't even find words to thank you."

Camilla says. I returned the favour quietly.

...... yeah. Though I wondered what would happen because it was a sudden story... apparently the relationship between the two of us doesn't seem worrisome.

In that last glow as the sun tried to set, the two of them were leaning quietly against each other.
