Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Welcome home. How was the collection?

When I finished collecting and went back to town, Forceto, who was talking to the residents in the town square, noticed this way and spoke to me.

"I've picked a lot of them!

And Marceska answers well.

"Thanks to you, I have a lot of souvenirs."

Pineapple, palm fruit seeds and seedlings such as bananas. In addition, a wide variety of herbs, mushrooms, etc. have been collected. In addition to this, you can even get seeds. When I get home, the food situation will be strengthened, so I can say it's all because of it. Rosemary also hides her expression but seems to be in a good mood.

"That's above all. Let me give you the seeds before I forget."

"Weren't we in the middle of a story?

"No, we were just talking about the dragons earlier."

The people of Halbalonis, smiled from Forceto, have bowed their heads since saying goodbye to this one.

"Uh, that. I wanted you to tell me you showed me something good, and I was talking to Master Forceto. Again, thank you."

"Sorry to disturb you"

And, this one responds with his head down. Forceto turned to us and said, saying a word or two to the inhabitants.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come this way"

Go to town in the form of Forceto taking the lead. Forceto turned to Claudia as he guided the way, he said.

"As we continued our conversation yesterday at the dinner table, we all agreed on the transfer of His Highness Claudia to Halvaronis and the reconstruction of the Old Capital."

Hmm. Surely we're not talking about making a big deal out of where the residents are.

"If that's the case, I'll do the procedure later."

"Regards"

"Speaking of which... Master Forceto and Scion are away from Halvaronis and are you okay about defense?

"Right. Some golem soldiers are inside the city, so I guess that's reassuring. If it's possible to metastasize, it can be rushed when something happens, and from that point of view, it's a form that we all agree on."

Sure. We can also let Claudia know what's going on via prayer.

The destination we reached with the directions of Forceto, even though we talked about it, was the place that hit the back of the tower, or near the paddy fields.

It is shelved so that the slopes to the underground lake can be used effectively. What a scenic sight, illuminated by the soft light pouring down from around the ceiling.

At the bottom of the slope I also saw a waterwheel cabin. There are several other wooden buildings in the waterwheel shed.

Forceto is apparently trying to show us where those cabins are.

Waterwheel hut... Maybe you're using it for precision rice?

This is a storage facility for paddy fields.

That's what Forceto says, opens the door to the storage facility, and brings the seeds in the bag from it.

"Thank you"

"You're a plant similar to wheat, what do you mean by rice?"

"Hmm. Does resembling wheat... also mean we can make booze out of rice"

Auria leaked that feeling to Grace, who saw the seed and said that.

Frank thoughts...... yeah. I'm worried about a lot of things around here, too.

"Oh. I also make alcohol. Take the rice crust and ferment it."

Hmm? Could there be koji?

"This is it. I added water and salt to this, and I also used it for the hidden flavors of the dishes that I served yesterday."

When I said I wanted to take a closer look, Forceto showed me rice koji.

Unique odor, yellow colour, texture.

... unmistakably rice koji. Apparently, in addition to alcohol, they make salted koji and use it as a seasoning. That's why yesterday's meal was right for my mouth.

Referring to Jingjiu's memory... according to the book, Koji's history dates back to BC and has a fairly ancient history.

In other words, if rice is transmitted on the moon, is it no wonder that Koji is also transmitted at the same time?

Hmmm. There's just one thing I know poorly that makes it hard to penetrate if there's any miso or soy sauce...

"It's gonna be a seasoning, too."

"Right. It is useful because it makes a variety of things delicious. If you're going to take the seed, how about this? Temperature and humidity must be controlled."

"That's... thank you, isn't it precious?

"I do take care of it. It's the mercy of the king of the moon, so I'm glad you take care of it. I'm sure the king of the moon will be glad if he pleases those on earth."

That's what Forceto says and smiles at.

... I see. Because the community is small, is it positioned more as a joint property of the entire settlement than as a secret? Hmmm...... I got a lot going on even if I didn't, and I have to return something besides a carbonated water server to make up for it, this.

But there's apparently no miso or soy sauce.

When that happens, will the next thing you need be soybeans?... Would it not be advantageous to substitute other legume plants?

Do you... do you want to study? I can't even keep my eyes on all the rice, miso and soy sauce, but let's just say I've got a good goal inside.

I wonder if it would be reasonable to reverse export the manufacturing method to Halvaronis once it is available for production, and if it becomes a story that is likely to generate any profits, then consult Halvaronis each time and take the form of a royalty payment.

Well, I'm a little too quick to say it at this stage when nothing is taking shape.

"Uh, this is the magic prop that makes carbonated water. This is shaved ice. And this is a magic trick that makes cotton candy."

"Ho."

The ancients blink at the myriad of demonic props they have brought to the tower floor.

I decided to bring all sorts of magic props loaded on the Sirius to the tower and thank them for all the things they received, so I gave them to them from here.

"This is amazing. I'm gonna puff it in my mouth."

... The impression is that Marceska's thoughts are easy to understand as a knowledgeable side, but refreshing for those who don't. If you knew beer, would you know?

"Let's demonstrate it first"

"Well, I'll get the shaved ice."

Ashley is in charge of the shaving ice and Mallane is in charge of the cotton-fired magic props. Each was moved to create a shave of ice and cotton noodles in carbonated water and handed them to the ancients.

Maybe the old guys are basically sweet for kids. The ancients are being handed shaved ice and cotton noodles by Ashley and Mallane, breaking up with each other. It is the sight of a troubled grandparent and grandson.

"This is what happens when you can snow with water magic. Hmm. Eat this with thin water sprinkles made from fruit juice."

"Well, it's kind of like a cloud..."

"If you eat the shaved ice in a hurry, the pain will come around your temples, so take your time."

So, not only did the ancients remind us, but they also went to us to try it on everyone and taste it.

"Is this what happens to sugar? That's strange."

"Sweet, cold... delicious"

"Yeah. Me, I like this"

"Mm-hmm. Well, well, well, well."

And, Zion rounds his eyes, and Sigritta quietly carries the spoon to his mouth, with a pale reaction, so that Marcesca brightens his expression. Let's just say there's about one person at Theon's place who doesn't feel uncomfortable even if they're mixed up.

Sigritta also seemed to have made a paragraph in her work of painting. She asked me to come to the floor to show her all sorts of magic props, so maybe she still has some work to do.

"Pineapple... could it have been. I think you might like this."

"That's sweet and delicious."

Since the juice of the shaved ice is pineapple, Princess Stephania and the others are pounding their tongues on the new flavor.

"Ooh. I don't know what this is. It's novel."

"Hmm. Interesting stuff."

I wonder if Forceto and the ancients have reacted badly.

"Then, this becomes a plaything. So you can enjoy all kinds of games by matching and arranging the pictures and numbers on the paper."

When I took out the cards and arranged them on my desk, everyone's gaze gathered.

We'll see about darts and billiards next time. Claudia's surgery will be activated, and we'll be back in Halvaronis when we need it again.

"With playthings. That's interesting."

"Well, Halvaronis doesn't have much to entertain."

"Many of the magic props also look like objects that create preferences in one way or another. With all this novelty, the residents will be delighted."

"It's good that it's easy to procure raw materials."

Apparently the supply and demand have coincided. It looks surprisingly popular.

"So let's try the playthings quicker"

I've got a few sets of paper and cards with rules written.

Forceto is with the Scions. The ancients split between the ancients, each in the form of a card.

"Well, I'm a substitute for a musician."

Illumhilt plays lute in an attempt to boost the field. As the fun melodies poured out onto the floor, the ancients circled their eyes.

"Oh? What's that song...?

"Hmm. I feel like the details are different...... You heard it a lot when you were a kid. But... I didn't know you knew a similar song outside."

The ancients stop their hands with a slightly suspicious look. It was Claudia who answered their questions.

"... this is the song I taught Irmhilt. Even on the moon... you've been telling it all along."

That's what I say, smile quietly.

Yeah. I think I talked about how you might see roots from music before. Well, some of the songs that Illumhilt knows are from the moon.

"I see...... Is that what happened?"

"Does that mean that this song is the one from which we know it?"

The old men close their eyes emotionally. He listened with a serene expression to the melodies played by Illumhilt, who thus gave a happy expression.
