Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"I wanted to say a word of thanks to you and thus came looking like a person. Everyone gathered here said they'd give us some time to say hello or talk first."

That's what the original spirit said in a calm tone when he looked at me.

"Nice to meet you. I say Theodor-Gartner."

When I introduce myself, the original Spirit nods quietly. My eyes remain closed. I guess I'm deliberately suppressing my powers.

I have the feeling that I am in contact with a big being. Even though it is, is it strange or fresh instead that the pressurized ones that come from the difference in presence are completely falling out? Maybe that's what the original spirit itself is today.

"He protected those who live on earth, including us. There's nothing to be thankful for."

Saying so, the original Spirit smiles happily.

We - I mean, that's the word, including the severed self. If Istrum's purpose could have been achieved, it is likely that both original spirits would have suffered enormous damage as well... and above all serious damage to the ecosystem. That... the original Spirit is not happy.

"I'm glad my words arrived in the middle of that battle."

The original Spirit shook his neck sideways, smiling.

"I heard your words... because I'm not the one here. That word, please, to me there. I let the kid carry hard memories and emotions, but he told me something different... undisputed, because it's you"

When the original Spirit says so, a sealed jewel sealing one crack emits a blurry, warm glow. I felt like I was being thanked...

The original Spirit shares the same memory halfway through, and I guess it's still the same. And the two together make it complete again.

However, it was divided during the magic storm and became an identical but separate individual. Does it fit with the analogy that another personality born is separated?

And neither original Spirit wants the ruin of the world. So it doesn't feel like we're going to integrate each other as one being again.

It also means acknowledging it as another being because it was divided from the same place and gained different experiences.

The original Spirit turns to Claudia, and says:

"Then... you've had a great deal of difficulty out of my mistakes. I should have fallen asleep for a long time disconnecting the overflowing power... I didn't know even my emotions would separate and dwell in a dragon vessel..."

"It's too late now, and I know how you wish to forget everything about sleep. Sometimes I did think it was hard... even that I was imprisoned in the labyrinth, and if I thought it was the basis for supporting the world with you, I don't think it was meaningless again"

"That is… a delightful word. But words alone are not an acceptable mistake. I made hard rules for you and the kid, and on top of that, Theodore and the others... bothered me. If so, I will have responsibilities and atonements to fulfill. Never again... leave her alone and fall asleep."

says the original Spirit. If there's anything I can do to help myself, I'll help you, and I'll make amends.

"To save myself...... I was wondering if there are times I could help by altering the labyrinth or something. For example... I will decide the direction of the labyrinth and have the child's anger and grief dissipate to the demons of the labyrinth. It might be an offer."

... I see.

Apparently, through our memories of sealed jewels and one crack as the Last Guardian, we understood what we were about to do and the nature of the labyrinth...

The original Spirit may be said to be the Rungard itself. That's what it's like to be permanently immortal and not have the disadvantages of being an administrator, unless the stars perish.

Too hard a duty for Claudia, who has an inherent lifespan, to bear. One crack of oneself, which replaced it on the shoulder and was to be abandoned, will now be in the shape of being beside it all the time.

Besides, if you become the caretaker of the labyrinth... one is a symbol of mercy.

The aim is to nurture life and spirits and guide them stronger. That also fits the purpose of the labyrinth.

If you look at the whole of Rungard, you won't fall in a bad direction either as a direction for the labyrinth to go.

One crack of the original Spirit, symbolic of anger, can also be consumed by letting the demons act on its anger and destructive impulses.

Well... given the original purpose of combat training, unlike previous labyrinths, if the labyrinth returns to normal, there will also be suppression of demonic behavior and much less sacrifice from exploring adventurers.

Then, for the dissipation of complete anger, etc., there will still be a need to hold a festival of souls and thanksgiving in honour of the original Spirit...... Your gratitude for the original Spirit is not something you should forget. I don't think it's a problem, but it's a necessity. In order not to leave the original Spirit alone.

Are other benefits… in that the labyrinth itself acts as a defensive force to the original Spirit itself?

As in the case of the Magic Storm disaster, it is not much to step through the labyrinth even when those who seek to lay their hands on the original Spirit appear.

The original Spirit offer… is certainly a thankful story from many different perspectives.

"Okay. Let me discuss that and then respond."

It's about the labyrinth, so there's no way I'm going to respond on this occasion. We all calm down, discuss it, and then return the answer, so. When I told him so, the original Spirit nodded as he was convinced.

"Later, then. There are many who have been waiting for you to return."

That being said, the original Spirit took a step back with his face to everyone as he gave way to the people who were keeping him waiting.

At the end of my greeting and conversation with the original Spirit... everyone with a laugh came together to celebrate our return. That's already - enthusiastic.

"Welcome home!

"Welcome back!"

"Hmm. That's good. We're back."

"Safe and above all."

"Yes. I managed to be safe."

I wonder if I've been hagged as an alternative to high spirits faces like Spirit Kings, Tefra and Floria with Harvesta, the Forestbirds rush over and that's what makes me so happy to just jump up.

"Welcome home, Mr. Theo!

"I'm glad everyone's okay!

"I can't believe I'm literally saving the world."

"I can't believe you came to Termwilds with me, 'cause if I told you in the booze seat, you'd be kidding me."

and the Forestbirds laughing like that.

"No. Really good. We've been so worried about you."

"Whatever it is, I came home safe and the world was saved. What a day to celebrate!

"Welcome home, sir!

Seven elders and Queen Eldraine, who were picking me up to the harbor, also held me tight just waiting to be this place. Plus a witch-headed penelope. Justia or Dominic. The Sailenes and Harpies of Grantios, the residents of the Labyrinth Village, Miriam of the Labyrinth Chamber of Commerce and Michelle of Baron Sirn will also join us to come and speak up in place.

If you think people have finally left, even the fairies in the botanical garden and the Noble Leafs in the potted plant can jump at me. It is such a big fuss about what is already happening.

Dad and Darryl seem to have been called on this occasion as well, but they seem to have lost the momentum around them or stayed away from them inside. When I smile at my father and Darryl, they both smile and nod back. I manage to look between them and get close to them.

"I'm home now, Dad. Darryl kept his promise."

"Welcome back, Theo. I never dreamed this would happen when you left home."

"Welcome home, Theodore. Promise... you kept it. I'll do my best."

That's how they say it.

It's not just me... people who are happy to see each other again.

"Welcome home, you"

"I'm home, Camilla"

Elliot and Camilla hug each other. Ashley smiled at the sight, and Kennel nodded.

"Mr. Albert is well and well."

"Yeah. You worried about Ophelia."

Alfred...... untie the disguise and show himself as Prince Albert, or keep his hands together with Ophelia. Elmer, Donovan, and Lionel greet Romina, the Marquis de Gilbolt, and Mallane's embrace of the Penelope in such a lively and entertaining atmosphere that there is no more to the square.

Welcome home, sister.

"Yeah. Hellfleet looks like he's breathing. Above all."

Rosemary also had a greeting with Prince Hellfleet, although in an unscrupulous manner he hid his face in a feather fan. Even though Rosemary seems to have difficulty coping because Prince Hellfreet is only smiling because he understands his sister's unsatisfactory response.

"Well safe..."

"Mm-hmm. I can play with the kids again"

"Hehe. I'll see you next time."

Sheila and Irmhilt also greet Dean Sandra of the orphanage.

Queen Eldraine has also spoken Weltes and Eckels of labor.

Estita and the others looked slightly fed up by such a varied face, but they were greeted with words of welcome by everyone and even smiled happily.

That's how King Melvin said after waiting for everyone's reunion joys, greetings, etc. to settle down a little.

"Today is the day when there is no need to exhaust words and words, and there is no more! Because it is a day of triumph for the heroes and a new gateway to the world! Finally, we prepared a treat and a drink. So let's forget about all kinds of smugness, drink, eat, and sing and dance and make a scene today!

A loud cheer rolled up in King Melvin's words. Not only are the Knights, the Mages, the royal palace nobles and officials supposed to behave as cooks and liquors to the residents of the city.

It is also a rigid proclamation in an attempt to reveal the noise. If the words are correct, will it mean a banquet until tomorrow morning? No, it's something I knew Term Wills' festivities wouldn't end in a day.

The residents of Labyrinth Village, Seylan and Harpy are already motivated. He brings his instruments, and he even comes all dressed up when he's ready to dance.

Well, okay. I was going to enjoy the festivities when I got back. When Grace and I looked at each other talking to Cecilia and Michaela, she smiled with pleasure.
