Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

There were no major problems with the inspection of the Sirius and the medical examination of Alpha either.

The seven elders are watching the interior equipment, so I'll go back to the deck and give Albert the magic trick.

"Well, I'll borrow some equipment from the ship."

That said, Albert heads inside the Sirius.

On the deck, under the light of the sun, I pulled a magic formation on a wooden board, where Sigritta was painting pictures of the monsters or something. Signature drawing speed is considerable. Running the brush keeps reproducing the monsters' appearance on the blank pages of the book. The monsters look pretty excited about their celebrity art, too.

It is a state in which keukegen and shank rubs peek intriguingly into the painting to be drawn from behind the ciglitter.

"Good day, Theo"

And, Grace prepares tea and sweets for me.

"Mm. I'm home."

That's the end of my planned job. After that, I can calm down and relax.

"Hmm. I'm on my way out, and I'm still holding off on my job. It's important to keep it in order."

"I wish we had a job to help too. There's nothing you can do to see how magical creatures are doing on boulders."

I say before you and Tadakuni sipping tea like that.

"I'm just glad you feel like it. I'm afraid I can't deal with you when it comes to rest."

"No, no. It's fun to just drink tea and talk like this. This is true even of the magical creatures and the pictures of the ciglitter. I'm going to have a lot of fun."

And you smile in a good mood.

"But if you had time for that, you should have talked a lot about it again. About the ghosts."

"Oh. Right. The response of the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters was a priority, and the story was behind us."

When I answer that, you nod quietly before cutting out the words.

"It is the perception of the concubine that the leader - a ghost but an incredible variant of the use of divine force - was. I understand now that it was the art of the continent to listen to them."

"I fought with the user of Immortal Arts once... well, there's something about not looking at the bottom yet"

"Sure. The changes that he liked to use and his identities are not good enough."

… divided into change. Sounds like a fairy talent.

"The leader - a ghost originally born on this land. I acted alone back then. Contrary to the demons who lived in the mountains, I hear they drove the land away once. And when he came back, he had the power - no, he beat down the demons of the mountains with immortality."

"Did you get to know the Immortal somewhere while you were traveling in pursuit of your hometown?"

"I guess so to listen. The old guy... he was no different in character from the evil ghost around the early stories gaining power. I didn't dislike it because it's a cracked bamboo personality and it's so prescriptive."

And you talk about the leader somewhere fun.

According to you, that was quite a long time ago, apparently. If you listen to me, they said that by then there was still no rampage or impact on the surroundings. Maybe you didn't have a divine personality yet, either. Likewise, the ghost seems to be acting alone, though he did not yet seem to be the leader.

"But when that changes the forces of the mountains, so does the situation. I don't know how the hang-up went, but first the ghost and the big spider started a fight. No, maybe at first it was a skirmish between the monsters of the child and the little spider. That ghost liked to fight, and the spider was also belligerent against the outside enemy, so he couldn't bear the end."

When an insolent ghost is attacked against a spider, and a small spider is attacked, the spider is also attacked against ghosts and mountain monsters.

Getting bigger from skirmishes between children... could be a common story in humans.

"But the ghost's men and the child spider have moved the battlefield over here, and they've defiled the mirror abyss. When I complained, they said," Which side are you on? "So have a concubine on your head. If you don't, you'll have to cut it off and slap both sides down... which means you've developed into a big fight between the triplets."

Ghosts vs. spiders at first. Are you in the war when you get caught up there?

"That said, if the Great Monster raves, it's something that will have a lot of impact. Beyond the plains, there are still quite a few claw marks of battle here and there. Because the concubine used clean water as a source of strength, she chose a place and a way to fight so that the fields in the vicinity were not rough - so I guess people respected her. Was it about that time? The people inside have taken care of the snakes."

They also have family members or snake buddies in front of them, and one daughter tried to help a wounded white snake from the monsters after losing a battle between the molecules.

Apparently it was in front of the rush to get rid of the monsters, but a ghost who was hurt by a child monster came there - something unexpected happened, he said.

"Bastards. I fell in love with my daughter at first sight. Oops. No, even now that I remember it, your face was funny back then. It's not something you can see inside, like a ghost being plucked out of its soul."

and your shoulders tremble before you. Were they all unexpected about the development, with their eyes rounded?

"Love at first sight, is it"

"Mm-hmm. Her daughter is... beautiful again, but she's so invincible that she keeps it. The ghost told me, and I said no. How can you like someone who goes wild without looking at people? After a while, ghosts have offered promises to concubines and spiders. He wants to stay out of this because it doesn't matter inside."

I see...... It's easy to understand what that is.

"It was the spider who complained. I can't even help myself to the mirror abyss when I'm fighting away from people. Such promises only put me at a disadvantage. So the concubine also said. If the ghost is going to, there's no denying it here. But if spiders are unhappy with each other, I wonder if they should make promises so that they will heal each other's spears, define their content, and never attack each other. That's why a discussion was set up between the concubines."

Right, the spider's disadvantage won't waver if we get into a two-on-one situation, but you would have thought it was your word if you had a chance of a truce, and you'd have trouble getting slammed by spiders with great power abandoning themselves.

"The concubine made them promise to make the territory the way it has always been and not let the people do the same. I put people on the condition that... I knew that my daughter would be the key. The ghost... drank the terms. Conditions were given when ghosts gave way to some of the forces, and spiders also accepted those stories"

As a result, there was peace in the area... but even then, the ghost went to his daughter, who was giving away flowers and fish. Eventually, my daughter also responded to the ghost feeling and agreed to be my wife... Apparently.

"... it's something that will change if you change. I didn't expect that thug to grow up. That's how the ghost and his daughter began to live in Iwami Gamoe. I don't know the details, but at some point the ghost clans also came together from all over the place, and that mountain became the land where the ghost leader and his clan lived. Whatever the origin of the ghosts, those mountain people will remain uninterrupted in human and spider territory."

"Does it feel like on the occasion of marriage, the head of the ghost has become a calm character"

"Right. The last time I saw him was a long time ago, but he was calm and piercing enough to be called the leader."

... sounds pretty influential on that person who is a haunted wife too. Mm-hmm. When that happens, I don't think it's that hostile to people. I would be able to talk to you to some extent.

Iwami Gayue? It's a pretty mountainous area with a string of high peaks, but they'll give you a hand to talk, too, and you won't get lost if you just move toward a place for the leader.

"What about spiders?

"He is satisfied to receive one of the magical boiling spirits. He's not that interested in what's out there. It's a belligerent personality, but if we talk, we'll have ears and weights."

When that happens, I guess it's a good idea that we don't act hostile over there unless we stimulate it from this side of the spectrum with regard to spiders.

If I were to talk to you and the head of the ghost, there would be no possibility of spiders moving... well, now I can't help but care too much.
