Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"This is the rear port. Can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I can hear you, Steph."

The voice of Princess Stephania heard from the bridge's voice tube. It is Princess Adriana who is responding. I wanted to look around the ship, so I asked him if he wanted to check the operation of the tube. As a result, Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana are thus travelling around the ship on the road to Count territory.

Mallane, along with Princess Adriana, hears her sister's voice heard from the phonetic tube and smiles joyfully. Rosemary does her eyes on you from time to time and covers her mouth with a feather fan to make it clear... but this one looks somewhat fun too.

Rosemary, Valentina, Charlotte and Tefra sit near the cockpit and are touring this ship. Sometimes they take turns and learn how to move the ship in the field.

Grace, Ashley, and Claudia spend a lot of time thinking about sewing, Alfred and Old Siegmund, Dad, and then Malcolm playing cards and talking about Noble Leaf and farmland development.

In such a laid-back air, the Sirius proceeds as the Illumhilts play a serene song. Eventually, my mother's house will look like a distant view.

"I see it. It's a big tree at the moment."

That said, everyone's gaze gathers in the front view visible from the crystal plate.

"Stef, I see you. Can you come back to the bridge?

"I'm coming now."

There is an exchange, and a little later Princess Stephania comes up to the bridge with Mercedia.

Princess Stephania looked blinded to her mother's house.

"... it's a big tree."

Tall and thick trunks to the extent you can tell at a glance without having to explain. If you anchor the Sirius in an open place just off the lake overlooking your mother's house, you will arrive.

I had descended the hull and docked it, and first I decided to unload my luggage and bring it into my mother's house. I ask my father as he puts his luggage out on the deck of the Sirius.

"What will your father do?

"Are we headed to Lisa's grave first? I have steps too, so I'm going to let you go back to the mansion afterwards."

And my father looks at the bouquet of flowers in my hand and says:

"Okay."

"I'm also prepared to welcome His Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis Broderick... um. Lisa's house is better suited for hospitality than mine."

"Maybe. Do you want to do it at your mother's house if you have anything for me?

Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana have been pretty tense over here since we saw their mother's house.

"Then I'll let you bring the food here."

"Well, let me relax this one"

"Uhm."

Let us all relax without a meal schedule?

"I plan to stay at Count Gartner's mansion. We've been talking about technical cooperation, so we wanted to have a meeting."

And, Malcolm. You're talking about farmland development and mine development.

They're talking about technical cooperation with each other and working together. The Gartner and Broderick Marquises seem to get along well.

Were the two families cooperating with each other even among the previous generations? Perhaps I should say that the deal has been justified rather than put back on track.

As they unloaded their luggage from the deck, Tomb guards Harold and Cynthia showed themselves from between the trees. I guess he was asking about the wedding day from his father. When you gaze at me, they smile and say hello.

"Hello, Dear Theodore"

"We're out of time"

"Oh, it's been a long time for both of us"

Harold and Cynthia seem to be indispensable not only in their mother's grave, but also in the care around the house. It is well mowed and so on, and it excludes leaves, branches, etc.

"It always helps to keep me clean."

"Thank you"

"It's our job."

Brothers and sisters smile happily.

"That's an amazing ship."

Did you see the Sirius from the woods, or Harold rounded his eyes and Cynthia snorted at him, too?

"Thank you. I'll show you the boat tomorrow because it's a little rough today."

"Is it true!?

"Thank you for the grave guard."

And, when I answered, my brothers and sisters let their expressions shine.

When I came to the roots of my mother's house with my luggage, I looked up as I was impressed that this was the first time I had come to my mother's house.

"This is - wow. Alfred was right."

"True... It's a lovely house."

and Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana shine their eyes. I thought you might like this, but you like it and most importantly.

"Yeah. Even from the top it was... amazing to see up close, this is... Theo, I heard from you, but it's good to be here."

Alfred is smiling happily, too.

"This is... Patricia's ideal home. Sure, the atmosphere around here is a little bit like the Promenade of the Legion of Sage."

Valentina looks up at her mother's house and narrows her eyes. You were talking to Valentina at the Sage's League of Scholars.

"That's a good place. Magic is in place and there's clean air."

"When you're in this house, you're feeling better."

It also seems to be popular with Tefra and Serafina.

"Sounds like you're tied up."

"... um. Is it because of the sealed witch that some of the effects are not faded? The terrain is also used to lay multiple forms of art from the pre-architectural stage to reinforce the bonds."

Old Siegmund nods at Charlotte's words.

The bonds of her mother's house are also linked to contract magic, so that only me, Grace, and those whom her father invited can enter. That's similar to the junction Claudia set up in the basement of Ashley's mansion.

A slightly wider scaffold is built in front of the door as it climbs the stairs arranged to circle around the trunk. Open the door and go inside. If I put my baggage away, I will go to the grave first.

Through the forest trail, we all head to Mother's graveyard. I think the red leaves would be bright if they were a little bit more... but they are lightly colored and still beautiful inside.

Serafina, Valor and Eclair also fly around to sew between the trees, chasing them through the air. Run it like Lavine and Alpha are going after it.

"Don't get lost too far away."

"Ugh."

and Serafina is like enjoying the early autumn woods. Mallane looked forward to it.

"It's nice to be here whenever you come"

"Right. I like it too. In a little while, the red leaves are very pretty."

As Ashley looks at the woods, Grace nods happily.

"Even in the summer... the green and lakeside were beautiful."

Claudia narrows her eyes gently.

"I wonder if it's season to pick mushrooms. Tomorrow it might be a good idea to hunt mushrooms."

"That's good. They're going to be able to collect magic medicine."

Rosemary is willing to ride for it. Magic medicine. Speaking of which, my mother said that I can't take this because it's an inedible mushroom, but I also remember collecting poison mushrooms... So you were using a large pot in the hidden room to formulate magic drugs and such?

"Mushroom juice......"

and Sheila looks to be expecting mushroom dishes. Sheila looks like she always does. Illumhilt is smiling when she sees Sheila like that.

Eventually I arrived in front of my mother's grave. Beautifully maintained square, a tombstone sitting in the middle of it. The soothing air until earlier had also changed slightly, leaving some warmth in the quiet air.

"I'm home, Mother"

Put a bouquet of flowers in front of the grave and quietly silently pray, each and every one of them quietly.

"It's been a while. I admired the Lisa I saw on the boat that day and have lived to this day as a royal and aristocratic figure. Please, don't worry. I also exist as a royalty to do my utmost. Keep an eye on the upcoming Verdogal"

With that said, Princess Stephania pays tribute to the tombstone and offers a silent prayer.

... right. Princess Stephania was seeing her mother, too.

"Hmm. This is... a good place, Patricia"

Old Siegmund says so and smiles a little lonely.

"Your magic... brought you to us, Theodore. It brought back our memories. Thanks, Patricia."

There seems to be a part of Valentina's words that she smiles and then prays silently that Princess Adriana and Charlotte also feel.

For Princess Adriana, the person who left me a magical crack to unseal the memory I had kept. For Charlotte, an earlier generation of sealed witches. I guess I have a lot of thoughts about my mother.

Yeah. I'm glad so many people are coming... When Grace and Fuji gazed at each other, she also smiled back calmly.
