Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 200, back to the East Country.

One day passes as we spend time with our daily clerks, our previous jobs, and everyone, even as we weigh in on our preparation and training in the workshop.

Oboro, Teal. The finishing touches of the swordfish and the little spiders are in order. Oboro seems to have gotten quite used to magic prop manipulation, and Teal has the impression that the simultaneous use of fighting and icing techniques has also taken shape.

Because the little spiders and Scion were training together, they made elastic yarns in the air as scaffolding, and the little spiders, of course, used it to accelerate and jump, to disperse and storm by the beasts of the ink, and even knit out the linkage.

Preparations are also under way to head to Hitacanokuni at the same time. We're going to reload the Sirius with groceries and supplies so that we can leave at any time, and move our work and training places from the workshop to the shipyard so that we can respond to unforeseen events.

"Is this enough spare magic props?

"I guess it's okay. If the magic stone is engraved with a technique, you can exchange it for first aid."

Together with Alfred and everyone else, we'll split up to check the inventory and the quantity of supplies actually loaded into the barn.

"One thing about the scroll is important to Hitaca as well. I will accompany you too, so I'll take care of simple repairs, etc. When it comes to handling demon stones… I can't say I'm still confident."

And, says Comati.

Sometimes Komachi specializes in such techniques as being finely crafted or repaired, and because the scrolls are also related to Hitaca, he plans to take on the maintenance role this time aboard the Sirius.

Meanwhile, technology as a Western magician and the know-how of Rosemary's magic dolls are also comats under study.

When it comes to the situation at the moment in Comati, it still seems difficult to adjust the fine finesse of the procedure, as Alfred did… even the western method can now be made if it is a simple magic item.

Technical exchanges are also under way to explain the communication technique of Hitacanokuni based on samples captured in Yokocho Sakura at night, teach various types of deformation mechanisms and create masterpieces.

That's how understanding of each other's technologies has improved to a certain extent, and we're also talking about creating cooperation. I don't know what will happen, but I'm not looking forward to it first.

And as the inventory was being checked in hand, Auria appeared in a carriage at the shipyard.

"Oh, it's Aulia"

"Oh, Auria, are you here?

"Evening."

"Good evening -"

"Uh-huh."

After Marceska's words, the little spiders, who were in training, stop their hands and say hello to Auria. It is Auria who responds with a grin. I don't know... it feels like Aulia and the way she calls it is settled from the little spiders... Well, Theon and the others seem to be good friends, so let's keep it good.

"I brought you a plug, but I don't know"

Auria says, look at the rear luggage car. The smell of baked sweets drifts this far.

"Oh, that's good. Thank you. Then why don't we take a break and make it a cup of tea for all of us"

That's why we're all headed to the shipyard facility, where we're going to prepare tea.

"Are you ready?

"Right. So far, no lag. We're heading to the East on schedule."

and Grace smiles as she brews tea. We're just a few minutes away from departure. It is also planned to travel the shortest distance through the Arctic.

"Hmm. That's more than anything. By the way..."

And, Auria peeks out the window into the view outside the shipyard, tilting her neck.

"Is that something?

What makes Auria wonder is four-legged animals with wooden skeletons, shaped communication dolls, etc. There are horse-inspired places, equipped with saddles and badges on the reins, but there are still prototypes, where you can also peek inside mechanisms from gaps everywhere.

"Oh. That's right. Masterpieces made with Hitaca's liaison doll technology, and so on. You write blueprints, you make bones out of wood magic."

"It's a phase of trial and error while getting advice from Comati. In the future, I'm working on a lot of ideas to make skeletons and armor misrills so that I can work with Ignis... well, we're still ahead of us."

Rosemary closes her eyes and says so.

"Even in that condition, you can travel on your back."

"Fine...... fun"

Auria shines her eyes on the words of Zion and Sigritta.

"Hmm. It feels interesting again."

"Would you like to take a ride? The goal is to recreate the horse's movements first, so it's not like we can still get that much speed or fly through the sky."

"Oh. That's not good."

And Auria grins.

That's how he enjoyed his tea and confectionery, and then Auria decided to give the liaison horse a quick test drive, apparently.

"As things stand, it's possible to walk the horse basic. The way you control it is the same as normal equestrianism, and verbal orders tell you... you haven't made it to the point where you run."

"Ugh."

With that being said, Auria will first let her walk in the usual way that she is said to walk.

"Ooh. This is good. Looks like he's riding a real horse."

That's what I say and laugh fun. Auria apparently has horseback riding experience.

The way you control a liaison horse is also equivalent to Western equestrianism. As it stands, walking just a little faster than normal walking, and even fast walking can be reproduced... maybe this is all you need to do if you just feel free to ride and play.

In the future, the goal is for now to reproduce the driving foot, full speed trek, and how to make each run faster.

"I said it was a trial and error, but even now it is quite complete when it comes to walking."

And Auria is smiling and in a good mood.

"Thank you. After that, I was thinking about incorporating a few mechanisms. There are places where we are aiming for a different finished shape than simple horses."

"Well, I'm not looking forward to finishing it again."

Right. Unlike western-style magic creatures and magic dolls, the goal is to incorporate Hitaca technology. I hope things work out around here.

Well...... That's how we're ready to leave, and the performances of the Illum Hilts that slipped in before the full moon are over. Once again the day has come for the Sirius to Hitacanokuni.

It will mean going out there with one crack of the scroll and staying in the ghost for a full moon day. Identify the position of the scroll after the ritual, and then go to the neighbouring country. Then it's the real deal.

"I hear Hitaca's neighbors are currently divided. It's not like a world of peace. Be careful."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Exchange words with King Melvin, who came to see me off.

The purpose is the protection of Immortal Messages and Scrolls. It's clear.

Broken fights and interventions should be avoided within the unknown context, and basically in the direction of covert action. Well... although it is also possible that it is an unavoidable situation such as saving lives.

In any case, what's happening to Hitaca's neighbors is like gathering information on Ichiemon and seeing what's happening on the ground, and so on.

From Termwilds to Hitaca, it is Ingway with all the party members who will accompany you aboard the Sirius. Comati on Teal, Oboro and Tsubaki. And Yura and Akane and the little spiders. There was also a hand in getting people to wait locally first at the transfer port, but there is also a desire to consult on the road.

"Be careful, Steph"

"Yeah, we'll get in touch with you on the comms when we get there."

and Princess Adriana and Stephania, who came to drop me off at the shipyard with the Kings of Melvin, exchange words. We are also in the form of being dropped off by Auria's acquaintances and ministerial groups, including Georg and Cecilia. I have the impression that quite a few large people have gathered for me.

"Well, I'll be there."

"Yes, your martial arts."

"Take care"

Georg and Cecilia greet each other.

"If we need our help, we'll be ready to fight soon."

When Tesdiros said so, he began Oldia and Regina, and his grandfather, and the elders of the Seven Houses also nodded with seriousness.

"Mm-hmm. I'll let you rely on me then"

That's what I say and I turn my grin. The same goes for King Ignado, but it is a comforting blush to say that he will be a helper at times of need.

That's how we embarked on the Sirius - leaving Termwilds in the form of a wave from everyone. Through the Arctic area, to Hitacanokuni again. Let's head to the capital first and try to hear the results of Ichiemon's information-gathering.
