Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The elders of the Seven returned to Termwilds, and we rode the Sirius further east from Marquis Broderick territory.

I would like to go straight through the shortest distance to the Kingdom of Drufdenia, but my eastern neighbour Beshmerk seems to have political instability in the centre due to the succession issue, which also conveys the story that the atmosphere has been tingling lately. So as a safety measure, we are taking the northeast route along the eastern mountainous area and choosing the route to exit to Drafdenia.

It is a relaxing journey with modest speed, as it is not in a hurry.

So we went out on deck and enjoyed the lunches and tea we all made, while we talked about getting to our destination with a view of the spring.

Laying a cloth in the sun and spreading my lunch... somewhat picnic atmosphere. We all got ready and just calmed our hips...... Fu Stefania said.

"Well, between worldly lovers... they feed each other meals, what a story I've read in a book, but is it true?

Erm...... Books, books. Is it a proportionally healthy romantic novel to investigate?

of the aristocracy. I feel more like a common exchange than that.

But is that why, as a Stephania, I also have an admiration for that kind of interaction?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm embarrassed... but on the other hand, if it makes you happy, I feel like it. Um... I'm a lover or a couple, and most importantly, it's a honeymoon.

"Some people do... I guess. Uh... if you want to give it a try, why don't we?

And when I answer, Stephania turns her gaze to everyone. Claudia and Rosemary strayed from their gaze, but everyone else looks more proportionally ridiculous than embarrassed, nodding fun yeah.

That was settled. But I guess it's a certainty that this is going to happen with everyone.

"Well, I guess the order starts with Grace."

"Hehe. From Master Steph, please. 'Cause I'm the originator."

Grace gives way to Stephania in order as she grins.

"Yep. Well, then....... ahem."

"Ah, uh."

Have your mouth carry the sandwich that Stephania, who sat next to you, offered, and eat it as it was.

If I eat it, I'll carry the sandwich from me to Stephania's mouth and have it eaten.

"This is... quite embarrassing... You can't do this in front of a minister or a people. Yeah, it could be fun."

And it looks like fun inside. Is it a good idea to have a lot of easy to eat in one bite?

"Well... I'm a little sorry, but you might also like the way Theo looks in the light"

Then Grace came next door opposite Stephania's sitting, smiling and saying it that way.

Oh, yeah. I guess I'm glad that there's everyone around me and the situation is Grace. I think I would have built more walls around me back in the day, and Grace would have been worried about it.

"Is it delicious?

"Yeah. Well, so is Grace"

"Yes."

And I sit back and close my eyes at the condition I said, open my mouth small and carry the fried chicken to Grace's mouth waiting.

"Hehe, it's delicious"

I ate fried chicken and Grace said.

When the interaction with Grace is over, Ashley sits down... in a positional relationship such as Stephania and Grace next to each other and Ashley at the front.

Yeah...... I don't know, this feeling. I can't calm down at all when I say I'm eating. Meals while everyone sees them this close... And I don't even feel that being surrounded and fed by everyone... is slightly different from the picture surface I assumed.

"Dear Theodore, What would you like to eat next?

"Uh. Now sautéed your mushrooms."

"Okay."

Ashley and I both feed each other. If we feed each other the sautéed mushrooms that are cut into bite-sized pieces, Ashley's little lips move and her white throat swallows the food.

Hmm. Don't really get to see everyone's meal scene up close. Feeding me or feeding me is, like, exciting or something.

"Well, then, it's a shift."

"Uh, duh. We'll be good at the end of the day."

"Yeah, yeah. Right."

Claudia and Rosemary don't seem to be able to step inside.

Mallane came next to me with the order ceded, Sheila next to the reverse, and Illumhilt sat down in the front.

"Well... let's have some fruit next time"

With that said, Mallane nods, offering fruit cut to an affordable size. I don't know what Mallane is... though something more like a smile than embarrassment prevails.

Mallane eats the fruit happily when I take the fruit to her mouth too. I grin happily when I gently stroke her hair.

"Next... uh. Soup, I guess."

"Mmm."

Sheila grabbed a plate of soup...... she spooned it and then tilted her neck.

"Should I get cold?

"No, that's..."

Plain and destructive. I can see it blushing, but does everyone looking at it look like they're having fun?

... Claudia and Rosemary are also looking at me sneaky as they blush their cheeks.

I thought it would be better to let the boulder cool down, but the temperature of the tomato soup has been reheated before meals, so the proportion is higher. Even if it burned, it was nothing, so I ended up taking a breath of soup. Erm. Do you want to give this back?

Percentage Sheila doesn't answer her expression even though this one is embarrassing. Though the tail is moving.

"Delicious"

and is my paced Sheila.

"Hehe, Theodore, oh dear"

Illumhilt giggles. I smile bitterly and make my next request.

"Well, next time we'll have an egg roll..."

"Oh, maybe that's what I made"

Irmhilt said. Looks like Illumhilt was in charge of the egg roll.

I chew the egg roll that I happily offer.

"Delicious?"

"Oh, yeah. I think it's good."

And snort. Fluffy egg rolls have an excellent finish. This one also took the egg roll to Illumhilt's mouth and Illumhilt was eating it looking delicious.

Let the three of them eat, followed by Claudia and Rosemary's turn. When they took a deep breath, they sat down next to each other.

"Yeah. It's okay now."

Her face is still red, Claudia says.

"Ugh, yeah. Well, let's have some asparagus rolls."

"This one."

I'll give it to you gently. I'll carry it to your mouth. Oh. This is good work, too. The addition and subtraction of bacon is exquisite.

I don't know.

"The baking is just right. The slight crunchiness feels fragrant, and the cheese that is pinched fits."

Claudia grins and nods. So this one pays back, too.

"I gave it to a little kid in the Labyrinth Village, but... it's the first time I've ever had a boulder feed me."

Claudia, who ate asparagus bacon rolls, blushed and said so, holding her mouth down.

"It is."

"I wonder if it's a valuable experience. I can't imagine anything other than Theodore, but every time it's a boulder."

Maybe. Even for me, it boils my head to do this every time.

"Then after I've eaten one dish at a time..."

And I looked around, and it caught my eye.

"Tea… maybe"

Rosemary tilted her neck and took the teacup, but as soon as she did, her face turned red.

"Huh...... You think I should get cold, too?

"... er"

...... yeah. After all, Rosemary and I drank each other's tea cold.

Tough every time. Let me just say this once.

"... it's a beautiful day in the middle of nowhere"

"True. It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed."

Drink tea after meals and make some relaxing time.

Stephania also smiled at Grace's leaked words.

"Until now, even if it was a trip, it had a purpose and a lot to do when I got home."

I still have a lot going on at work... but I don't think it's as urgent as when I was taking care of demons, so I think it's easy on the psychological side. The animals also look distracted, relaxing and sleeping in the sun.

Corliss also crawled belly on the deck...... sometimes replacing Stephania and Mallane's back. Lavine also fell asleep next to Ashley and was stroked in the head, looking well indulged.

I'm leaning on Lindblum or putting Cadkeus on my lap.

Wow, and Lindblum was either from the warmth or making a big stretch. Sometimes Serafina sings a song to match Illumhilt's performance. Yeah. Peace.

Mountain areas...... and, in a nutshell, the scenery is changing. Beautiful flowers flock on the slopes of the mountains, or there is still snow in the mountains at high altitudes.

Ridges, clouds and seas seen from heights are usually the only landscapes you can see when you climb a high peak, so it can be described as stunning.

"Which area is it now?

"Erm. On the map... this heck?

Answer Claudia's question by pointing to the map spread over the cloth.

"Mm-hmm. Is that about time?

"Yeah. I think I'll be in the Kingdom of Drafdenia soon"

If we go a little further south, we'll be able to get out near the border of the Kingdom of Drafdenia.

Verdogal to the west. Beshmerk to the east. The kingdom of the Great Forest stretches further north through the mountainous areas that extend north of Beshmerk. It becomes a positional relationship that east is the Kingdom of Drufdenia over Beschmerck.

The settlements of the Harpies are dotted so that they can spread over this mountainous area. It is a story that King Melvin's use of the Kingdom of Drahdenia was also allowed to use the transfer of the Harpies to the settlement because they could also come and go by means of transfer magic.

When the power of the state and the lords is not extended in the mountainous areas away from the people, it can be said that the land is already ruled by the demons. The implications of getting the help of the Harpies in that mountainous area may be quite significant.

That's how we get through the mountains - now to the plains.

Locally, it's already within the Kingdom of Drafdenia. Sometimes a common understanding on the treatment between States has not yet been determined with regard to the new technology, the airship, but it also attaches an understanding from Drufdenia that it will proceed with procedures similar to those for travel in dragon cages, as was the case in Sylvatria and the Bahárzad.

In short, moving from urban to urban. If I had to, I would have shown the inside and proved it wasn't a visit for military purposes... well if that meant no problem I wouldn't have much trouble either.

As you continue along the streets, you will eventually see the city of Drufdenia.

The guard tower soldiers seemed to be running around in a slight panic when the Sirius was in sight, but the circular must be going. The soldiers, who regained their calm, lined up on the walls and waited correctly aligned at the folds to welcome the dragon cage on which the nobles would ride.

Among their soldiers, there is also a line of lord-like nobles. Slowly advance the Sirius and confront the lord over the deck.

"I'll see you first. It was sealed by His Majesty King Melvin of the Kingdom of Verdogal as Lord of the Forestanian Boundary. My name is Theodor-Wilcloud-Gartener-Forestania."

"This is polite. My name is Bernard-Krofberz and I will keep the region. The emissary has told us that a new nobleman has been sealed in your country and that you will look like a honeymoon to our country... I didn't know you were so young."

Bernard-Krofberz. It seems that he is one of the nobles of the Kingdom of Drafdenia and that he is the Marquis.

A man of samurai temperament and credibility. It is a step of going first to the Marquis Crofberz territory, where we have the necessary stories and exchanges with the Marquis, and then finally going inside Drafdenia.

"There's no difference in that story. I visited your country to see and hear the land of the kingdom of Drafdenia, the kingdom of Angelf (Itchy), with my wives. This will be a letter from Your Majesty."

"We'll see."

Give the Marquis the writ he keeps from King Melvin. He ascertains the wax, glances over the contents of the writ, and the Marquis nods small.

"Then... we'll be reassured of each other if we show proof that we have no other purpose. If you don't mind, I'll show you aboard."

"Well...... thank you. Instead of giving you a tour of the ship, let me give you a certificate for domestic traffic if you don't have a problem making your journey smooth."

"Thank you. That helps."

This is also a story that was decided as a default route. It's like changing the luggage in a dragon cage, if you like.

It's a visit from another country, not to mention a military value if it's a flying ship.

If you ask the Marquis of Krofberz to confirm it first and admit it with a single pen, then there will be no extra charges later or to incite tensions between the two countries without darkness, so that we can move smoothly within the Kingdom of Drafdenia towards the King's capital.

Guiding the inside of the Sirius or visiting it is like a soft and round rehearsal of the entry inspection. There's nothing particularly backward about this one either, so I'll be happy to work with you.

The Marquis moves to the deck with the offerings.

"First, this will be everyone on board. We use them as escorts, and we ride demons, dragons, etc."

"Wow. I'm surprised you can move a ship this size."

"We do need more people to get the most out of the ship's performance, but if we just move it, we're doing it under magical control. honeymoon for tourist purposes, so you don't need a large number of people to hit your visit"

"I see. Using the demon as an escort, that's the magician's unique strength."

That is why I will guide you in order aboard with some knights and soldiers. The Marquises were looking round at the equipment on the bridge and the demons used to move to the stables.

"Beryl mall on Snowwolf, plus a golden wolf and... You bring the unusual demons."

"Some wives use demons... Yep. I can count on you inside."

You think it's a shipment in the barn or what's going on in the room? I will guide you through the inside of the ship and explain it on the ground, including the fact that there are no other personnel, and that only about a sound cannon for the demon is loaded. I am a demon killer in the Kingdom of Verdogal. Although direct military support for Verdogal was difficult because Drafdenia was geographically located inland, he actively cooperated in the entanglement of circulating false information. The Marquis, a noble nobleman, seems to know the circumstances quite well.

The Marquis politely comes round and back to the deck.

"No, let me take a look at something very valuable. I heard that your country and the Kingdom of Silvatoria have jointly developed… I'm sure there will be more airships in the future."

"I think it will. I wonder if it would be beneficial to trade and so on if it became used for transportation between cities."

"That's also the story of the spread of dreams. Now, bring the certificate you promised."

And the Marquis laughed. Once the Marquis returns to the surveillance tower, he acknowledges the certificate there.

Then the Marquis, who had handed me the documents he had admitted, said with a grin.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Drafdenia. May it be a fruitful journey for Lord Boundary."

"Thank you"

We'll have such a conversation and break up with the Marquis of Cropbelts.

Looking sideways at the city, we head along the streets to the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Drafdenia... but the inhabitants of the Marquis Crofberts look at the Sirius and round their eyes and point their fingers, and it also looks like they are under a lot of shock.

Wave and respond to show no harm. Although Corliss and the others who came out on the deck again were with him, his eyes were dotted when he saw it, he was under the impression that the inhabitants waved back their hands in confusion.

"After all, the outfit is a little different from the west"

Ashley looked at the people and said:

"Oh, sure. I'm starting to feel like I'm in a foreign country."

The designs of the clothes surrounding the inhabitants are again slightly different from those of Verdogal. Although the ethnic costumes of nomads in the South were often embroidered. Hmm. I guess it's still an ethnic costume to classify, but it feels like an apron on a long skirt... something with a strong impression of practical work clothes.

"That sounds like peasant work clothes to me originally. I heard a while ago about a merchant who made materials superior and made designs flashy, which is fashionable among the upper classes."

And, Rosemary. I am fluent in boulders.

"Well, it might be interesting to take a peek at the tailor when you get to Wang Du."

When I say that, Mallane nods joyfully.

"It's good for souvenirs."

"Perhaps it will be popular in Verdogal."

The women look like they're having fun inside.

If you're going to the tailor, you'll have the opportunity to see the flashy clothes.

Whatever the impression I saw of the inhabitants, it's not that strange from us, far from the design of the garments. I feel like I feel an exotic and cultural connection at the same time.

Dropped off by such inhabitants, the Sirius slowly proceeds along the streets to the east bound for the Wang Capital.

Along the streets leading east, there are huge rivers.

This great river, a wide area and a few kilometres to the opposite shore, uses the Great Forest of the Beast Kingdom and the mountainous areas we have come through as a source of water, joining us in Drafdenia. They say it flows across the country eastward as a great river.

as domestic water. Then they also play an important role in domestic and international transactions.

If we continue along the river, we will reach the King's Capital... Hmm. If we anchor the Sirius in the river, there won't seem to be any problems. It seems better to go down the river, in the sense of avoiding useless confusion.

The journey went well inside. Floating the Sirius on the great river slowly flowing through the plains, continue relaxing with the flow and enjoying the scenery.

I've been down to the plains, and it's a lot of fresh air. New green meadows and paths that go on everywhere. Mountains that look far away. The little flowers blooming along the road entertain my eyes.

Then peasants, caravans, soldiers and adventurers who go down the street. The adventurers wondered if they were going home to work or if they were putting the monster material they hunted in the carriage... there's a flair inside.

Those who went down the street were sometimes inclined but never extremely surprised that this one was down the river and that it was an unusual ship. Eventually, through the city, the Sirius reached the capital of King Drahdenia - the ancient capital of Steinberg.
