Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

- When we arrive in the capital, we anchor the Sirius around the outer wall and put in contact with the inner back, the Yin Yang dormitory and the witch dormitory before heading to the inner back where the Emperor is waiting.

I also want to talk to the monsters accompanying me, so I want you to come inside and back with me. I heard from the user. The demons are with us. We have a big hall where we can wait, so let's make it sweet for you here.

That's how we all get in the cattle car that picks us up and head back and forth to the Emperor's waiting. You were informed of the arrival of the Sirius, and the inhabitants of the capital are packing it along the road.

It's a favorable reaction inside, either because you tied up a bunch of Ayatsuji brothers and sisters, or because you smiled and waved and cheered.

"What the hell is all this noise?

"Oh. I wonder if it was... the Kingdom of Verdogal... in the West. He says he's a great magician."

"You beat that Ayatsuji brother and sister up and tied him up? With Yura and Tadakuni, we fought together..."

"That's another amazing story...... I've been away from the capital for a while, so I've been so oblivious to that kind of talk."

"Welcome home at a good time"

Some of them seemed to have come to see along the road without knowing the noise, but it came to my ear that they were making such rumors.

"So... what are those big lizards and moles doing? I don't know, I'm flying in the sky... Formula God, is it?

"Uh. I heard you say not to be surprised because there are animals that have turned into magicians' offerings..."

"Hmm. The boulder is a great magician."

Many faces were surprised to see Lindblum and Corliss and the others flying in the sky following the cow car… Corliss was waving as usual to further surprise those gathered.

That's how when the cow truck arrives inside and out, he leads us to the back quickly. Heading into the Great Hall, the Emperor was waiting there. The emperor seemed to have waited standing. When you admit we look like each other, you break up.

"No, he used to come home safe...!

"This is your majesty"

Once gracious, the emperor deepens his grin.

"Even if you know if it's cheap on a comms machine, it's still worse to just wait. First of all, as the ruler of Hitakanokuni, let me express my gratitude for the matter of the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters and their group of captives. You're right, thank you very much."

"It's a waste of time."

When he returns it, the emperor shakes his head small and sideways.

"No. No matter how much the words of gratitude overlap, it's not enough. We would have been the only ones behind the response from that handiwork of the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters. Plus... Yura, Tadakuni, Akane, Ichiemon. It was daunting."

"Ha."

"I need you to calm down. I've been waiting for you to cook."

"Thank you"

So when you calm down with the emperor, the ladies bring you all sorts of dishes.

Sucking on white rice. Bonito on sea bream, clams, steamed tea, pupa. Mushrooms in mountain vegetables. They are all served brightly in color and carrots and the like are cut into cherry blossom shapes...... gorgeous to look at. The impression is that boulders are dishes served inside and out.

The capital is also close to the harbor, so it seems to be a dish with plenty of sea delights. As for Sheila, she has a lot of seafood, so her tail is reacting.

Enjoying the meal, he tells the emperor about the cooperation of the monsters, the captivity of the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters, what was in the ghost, etc., and also introduces the swordfish and shank rubs. The emperor was listening to it at a calm pace.

"No way, I didn't expect you to let me through to the capital all of a sudden"

And Tsubaki laughs bitterly.

"We have never had a chance to make contact with each other before... but if we were to fight for the same purpose, it would be natural to give thanks. I don't know... I don't think I can stand on the arrow side."

Tsubaki quietly closes his eyes and praises the words of such an emperor.

"The word, as a representative of the ghost clan... no, I will only tell everyone as a representative of those who come from that land"

The emperor nods in response to such a sword.

"Right. Those who dwelt in the land also received help to defeat the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters. I have to thank you for that, too. Not to mention those who want friendship with people. We want to deepen our future friendship without distinction of race."

With that said, the shin rub moved his neck vertically, and the emperor who saw it broke his face delightfully.

"What happened to the capital afterwards?

"I wonder if it's since you handed them over. My heart was broken because I couldn't resist using fighting or surgery. Sakio seems to be in pre-resistance condition. I'm just looking into the aftermath and the extent to which he was involved."

Trouble like ex-post processing is handled here, the emperor says. In the meantime, as far as I'm concerned, there seems to be no such thing as people getting busted.

"After that... can we talk about the scroll?"

Right. I have to talk to you about it because it's unresolved.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to continue to have a full system of cooperation. Let us gather as much information as time permits, as Ichiemon also says. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the situation in neighbouring countries is not stable. So I've been thinking a little bit."

That being said, the Emperor brings forward the Kiryu Box, which was prepared in some way. Something... seems to contain quite a bit of magic.

"As we work in neighbouring countries, I want you to take this and help me."

"May I open it?

"Uhm. I want you to take it and look at it"

When I opened the box...... it contained something like a bunch of animal hair and something like scales. Animals......? No, high spirits, I guess, these signs.

When I try to touch it, what looks like a bunch of hair floats in the air fluttering around my fingers. And scales. He wrapped his phosphorescence around him, emitting a clean magic as soon as he touched him.

Especially... I feel a very strong wind force in the bundle of hair. Comparable to Phoenix, that is -.

"Again. That's a boulder to react to."

"And you say?

"It's the tailhairs and scales of a spiritual beast named Kirin. My ancestors several generations ago told me that Kirin asked me to give them away."

"Kirin -"

That's another... surprise. The emperor pleasantly breaks up with my reaction.

"Kirin is said to show up when a virtuous exchanger appears. So that's how tails and scales reacted to Lord Theodore."

I don't know... I'm afraid you can appreciate me that much, but when it comes to high moral exchangers, I'm still equal to the stage where I've done nothing. In my case, I reacted with an affinity for the Spirit.

"May I have something so precious... please?

"There are still a few scales, and I think it would be more right for me to get help where it should be rather than letting them sleep in the treasure trove. Earlier, I said I wanted you to help me when working in a neighboring country... but that country would be divided now, wouldn't it? Who should I trust and see as an ally? I was wondering if we could judge Kirin's scale."

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

Those who can be trusted with scales have some idea. Scales are used to determine whether an ally is an ally, and enemy information is not hesitant to be obtained from Satori.

As scales help you detect in that way. As for tail hair... thank you to me, I wonder. It has so much wind magic, and alongside the scales of water dragons and the tail feathers of Phoenix, it will definitely be more of a catalyst than ever.
