Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

We found out the circumstances of the people of the Moon and how Istrum and the mass of Orihalcon fell to the ground. Even for the people of the moon, he is an enemy of uncertainty.

And the battle between the kings of the moon and Istrum... would be defeated, to be clear. Because they destroyed ships and critical equipment, pushed them to a state one step ahead of their demise, and now they're pulling tails.

So...... I can also see why the Seven Wise Men have knitted various techniques, like circulating smell and sealing, to counter demons from that reflection.

The fact that they stuck their necks in the case of the Beristio entanglement would be none other than because they had found danger in the demon itself. Because demons use the negative emotions of others as their own food, they even increase ferocity, belligerency, and brutality. That's why the Seven Wise Men tried to stop the Veristios.

In the process, knowing the characteristics of Beristio, the Seven Wise Men sealed the Beristio. Maybe this seal was originally meant to counteract Istrum.

Istrum, who fell to the ground, would have died unknown, but we cannot deny the possibility of appearing again. In fact, he was alive.

"My name is Tesdiros. I told you earlier... one of the demons who survived the showdown."

"My name is Wimberg"

Tesdilos and Wimberg will also be introduced to the two.

Either way, this is something we have to talk about. Being a demon is something that you will know if you start fighting Istrum, and even if you are at that stage and your allies turn your suspicious eyes on you, there will be connections.

Then how they are accompanied or why they fight Istrum opponents. Thinking about coexistence with people. that the sealing technique applied or the actions are magically tied. Besides, in the future, it is better to explain exactly what you are thinking in the direction of disarming demonization.

"Are you a demon?"

"I'm under sealing, so I can't do anything right now."

"Sealing…. It draws on the flow of art created by the royal families who descended from the ground on the last ship."

Estita, who was slightly nervous, turned his eyes round to the words. Sounds familiar with magic inside.

"It's the art of sealing race traits. I'm a dumpy too, but it also suppresses my bloodsucking urge, aggressiveness, arm strength, etc... so I have a normal life. It's an important bond for me, too, with the art that Lisa left me."

"I am also learning from Master Theodore about the technique left behind by Patricia, who was a sealed witch. Well, what you're saying is true...!

Grace and Charlotte describe the sealing technique. My sister and brother were listening to the two words with a serious look on their face.

"Vallos and I... exchanged words at the end. It has changed slightly from the idea he had in mind, but it has not changed the fact that the Tesdiros and the others, with their will, intend to achieve coexistence. I also hope that in the future I can develop techniques that will allow me to disarm demonization."

"You're not human resources, even for me. I also exchanged swords with Lord Theodore in the family of the king of the sea, but this is how he accepted me as his companion, and we made it through that battle together."

And, says Eckels.

"Yes... is that so? Oh, the royal family of the moon left behind the sealing technique of coexistence with the demons... the royals will rejoice when they find out about it, perhaps."

Estita closes her eyes and looks up to heaven. There seems to be a lot to think about how the sealing technique was developed and how it was used.

"Can anyone use a leading mind? If you have to, you can ask me to use those techniques."

Leading minds are a technique used in magical interrogation.

"Some people can certainly use that technique... but I still don't care what happens"

"Then please tell us so. I was wondering if I needed that too to get everyone to trust me."

When I said so, my sister and brother nodded.

"- So, if you cross here, you can expand the view far away"

"This is handy..."

"The... Something big is waving from beyond the crystal plate..."

"That's Corliss. I can see the bridge from the other side, so I'll be glad to say hello."

Sheila introduces the ship's equipment and Corliss to Estita and the others as she moves to the desired location. As Estita and Dean waved toward the monitor, Corliss also shook his head vertically.

While we are doing so, we will meet with Claudia and Princess Stephania to discuss future policies. I cut out the story wrapped around it to Estita.

"I have a suggestion"

"What, is it?

Estita leans her neck slightly anxiously.

"If you need equipment to transmit magic from the ground to the moon, I can promise to build it after the Istrum thing is cleaned up and back on the ground. What can I say instead, could you help me solve Istrum's crusade and other troubles? I was hoping this would be an ingredient to convince everyone."

"That's something you don't even wish for. Well, Istrum is our problem, so of course it is... so what do you call other troubles?

Estita broke her expression for a moment, but she asks somewhat anxiously if she learned to hook up with the other troubling part.

"As we liberated Claudia from the labyrinth, we wanted to maintain the function and direction of the labyrinth. He wants to install information for that modification. After that... as I mentioned earlier, would you like to cooperate in developing a formula to undo the state of the demonized and the born demon?"

If the people of the moon can help us, we can talk about this place all at once.

Especially when it comes to labyrinth remodeling. The only thing Istrum wants is the ruin of the world, and fighting together as a countermeasure against him is a matter before the terms of exchange, because it's a grief for the people of the moon today about the transmission of magic from the earth.

When I tell the people of the moon that I want them to cooperate, Estita looks at me and nods after conceiving to indulge in its contents for a while.

"- If that's what you mean. I can't promise you my existence alone, but I personally agree. But you are very close to Lady Claudia..."

"Theodore is my precious fiancée."

And when Claudia smiled and said, Estita and Dean's expression solidified. Put it down for a little while and the two of you will reboot.

"Oh, did you"

"Yeah. I trust you. I hope this will also lead to acceptance of the terms of exchange."

"Wow, I get it. I'll tell everyone."

While we were talking about that, we got to where we were going.

It was there quite far from the old capital of the moon and from the underground cities that had since moved and abandoned again. Though he said he chose an easy place to gather magic as a priority.

mountainous areas, among which an entrance appears to be made at the foot of a mountain at a high altitude.

... Mountain. Sure, I wonder if it's a symbolic place. The same is true of Mount Tefra, but it is also a place called Spiritual Peak that can easily be the object of faith, etc.

"Hmm. Surely the spirits are more active than anywhere else."

And Auria says.

"First we'll go and talk to everyone. If I can persuade you successfully, like this, I'll raise one hand and signal, so can you wait a while?

"Of course. I'll unravel the ship's camouflage when I get the signal."

I follow Estita and Dean to the deck to drop them off. When they put on their space suit helmets again, they went out of the boat and rode the pumice.

The pumice seems to have no problem moving up or down. It works with the magic of the crew. Though it seems like a convenient medium ride.

As we slowly and vertically descended from the deck to the ground and went to the front of the entrance to slip, Estita unfolded the magic circle.

Mountain skin opens in response to the procedure. Into it my sister and brother went on with every pumice. Once the pumice enters the interior, the door closes.

There was a lot of room inside from the entrance. Enough to likely accommodate the Sirius...

Well, if you plan to build a new moon ship, do you want to make sure you also have the space equivalent to the shipyard from the start? It's easier to build indoors.

"I hope it persuades you well"

"Right...... I hope he trusts this story."

I nod at Grace's words, which seem a little worrying.

"If you need my neck, I'd be glad to have it after the battle with Istrum. If I'm the only one who can do that, can I keep my promise to Lord Vallos?"

Tesdiros said. Wimberg changes his blood phase to that word, but opens his mouth before it does.

"If such a request is made, we will desist from the joint struggle itself. Although I am certainly glad that the people of the Moon lived... apart from that and this. I have brought Tesdiros and the others here as my companions, but I will not imitate what I offer. I was originally going to go ahead on my own because of the exchange terms that I offered."

"Right. I agree with Theodore. I fought Vallos as an enemy, but I don't want to shallow imitate seeing the situation and rebelling my promise."

Tesdilos and Wimberg had their eyes slightly round what Claudia and I had said so, but eventually the two of us would bow our heads deeply.

"... forget that word, until this life runs out"

- Thank you.

Seeing those Tesdiros, Rosemary clasped her shoulders as she hid her mouth with a feather fan.

"I hope the people of the moon don't say that."

Mallane snorts.

Right. That said, when I look at Claudia, the people of Halvaronis, the sealed Tesdiros... there are expectations that the people of the Moon might not be in the mood to say much about that.

That's how for a while, waiting there, the entrance opens again and many come out. I don't know because they're all wearing the same clothes, but it's probably Estita and Dean who are leading the way.

Two people have raised one hand and signaled this way. Let's say, then, that this one also solves the camouflage of the Sirius.

The men who came out with him when he unlocked the field of light magic and showed himself on the Sirius appeared to have eaten, but as soon as they aligned themselves, they greeted us with salutations.

Estita and Dean come up to the deck.

"Is it possible to get the ship inside through the entrance?

and tells it in the application of magic circles.

Nodding, Estita unfolded a magic circle. The entrance opens wider than earlier. Slowly advance into it the Sirius.

As we all enter the interior, the entrance closes again. Once inside - there was already air there. The protection of the Spirit King automatically subsides.

Maybe they're sealing up the air so it doesn't leak in the junction. A magic formation was shining on the floor, but when the entrance is closed, its magic formation also loses its shine.

I see. Only when the inlet is open will the trick to trap the air be activated. It works slightly differently than an airlock, but it saves energy.

We can also see some pumice rides. When I went outside to investigate, I said I would go on that one.

They took off their helmets one after the other and showed me their faces. This one goes out on deck, face to face. He asked me if I could go up to the deck from the other side, so I would unload the talap and have him climb over.

Age and gender are variable... but some people seem to have an atmosphere close to Estita and Dean.

"Oh... oh. This magic..."

"It must be royal...... The return of your Princess..."

And when I saw Claudia, they had a uniform look of surprise.

Eventually, when they regain their composure, one leaves one step forward.

"Excuse me. Welcome aboard, Your Highness, Princess Claudia. And...... Guests from Rungard. My name is Hannes, and I am one of the current administrators of this out-of-house somnium."

When the oldest person politely greets him and bows his head, those gathered mimic it and introduce themselves.

It seems that all those gathered here, including Estita, are management officers. Apprenticeships seem to follow Dean.

Sorcerer or martial artist? Looks like a well-trained face just to be entrusted with management. Apparently there are fifteen management officers at a time...

"Some other people work to wake up and take care of their crops... but they are treated like subjects of the moon. We lived our days relaxed with people close to our officers."

I see. They're creating small communities and waking up in turns. Families, lovers, etc. would be better together... and calm.

Therefore, this one will also introduce itself from those who were the Lord.

"- To His Royal Highness Claudia's fiancée, I didn't mean to come to the royal family's name on earth..."

And the management officers seem to be in awe.

This will be followed by demons and magical creatures. Since Estita and the others had also told me that there was such a touch on her face, she seemed to have a good mind, but I wonder if there is any impression that Corliss, who seeks to shake hands, or Maxwell, who bows, is slightly confronted with boulders.

But at the end of all the introductions, handshakes and other greetings, the officers tightened their faces and turned to us.

"Estita and Dean asked me about the situation. But that's not why the current administrator answers on his behalf."

"The assault of the demon Istrum. And the return of your princess, and even more, the story of our common struggle and our sorrow... We've decided it's enough for Her Majesty to wake you up."

Her Majesty the Queen. Knowing the wavelength of royal magic also means that there is royalty?

"About us..."

Hannes closed his eyes when Tesdiros asked.

"We don't know you. However, given that you are protected by your words and the high spirits... I have decided that you deserve to believe. Her Majesty the Queen, who awakened earlier, asked me to welcome her with courtesy."

... I see.

That's why Hannes and Estita and the others led us to the back of the outhouse.

Deposit the Sirius with the Knights of the Apocalypse, in the form of Claudia and her national counterparts following us as escorts. He said that the other faces were talking to us and then talking to us again. Well, that might be natural, to take it for granted.

Open the door from the entrance and head back. The shape that opens the door several times and goes back would be to keep the air out even if some wall is broken. It's the same as having multiple bulkheads.

The same goes for these doors and pumice vehicles, but it seems that most objects of magical entanglement operate in a form in which the operator sends magic. In a month of scarcity of resources, the magic of the individual is also an important resource.

A few times I dived through the door and went out to an open bright spot. The passage through the exterior I've been through was a boneless impression... but the architectural style is pretty spectacular around here as well. There are few conditioning items, but when it comes to elegance and style, it's a good place to call it out of the palace.

From the corridors lined with columns, it is possible to see a wide space… I can see that there are paddies and regular fields there, which grow a variety of crops.

As a whole, it's very mediocre, but with some long idle atmosphere with streams flowing... a sight reminiscent of the labyrinth village and Halvaronis.

There are some crops that seem rare and I am concerned about a lot of things, but among them...

"... Spirit Tree...?

The trees that resemble the giant trees we saw in the Temple of Moonlight thrive.

"Did you know? That is a spirit tree that sucks and purifies all sorts of filth. It was made with tree magic to fight demons... but it's also an essential plant for life here."

I see. You can also purify air and water.

Continue further into the back, looking sideways at fields, spiritual tree fields, orchards, etc.

That's how you get in front of the big door.

"Beyond this door, Your Majesty is waiting for you."

It doesn't seem that there is between refraining and looking.

Given that there are no visitors, and only a small number of people are active, I wonder if so.

"Your Highness and I have brought you guests."

"Let me through."

and there was a response from inside the room. Moving into it... There was a girl with snowy gray hair and a golden eye.

"Welcome, Master Claudia. And Dear Theodore. I am Aurelia-Suastras, Queen of the Contemporary Moon."

And the girl says, then she laughs bitterly.

"You look like this... I might have surprised you. Because it was about this apparent age that I inherited the throne... Since then, the color of my hair has only changed."

Could the king of the moon return blessings with the faith or loyalty of the people of the moon?

Since demons seem to be close in nature in some respects, I wonder if it is understandable that what has inherited the throne will be closer to immortality.

And indeed...... I feel the magic of wavelengths very similar to Claudia.
