Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 210, the immortal gatekeeper...

The brothers and sisters were in a room on the upper floor of the Kazuru building.

My brother is older than me, isn't he? It's a calm waist. My sister is younger than Mallane, about. I was trying to hide in the shadow of my brother's body and spy on this one.

"Prince Kai and Princess Lin. of the previous emperor - a half-brother and now a disciple of Non."

And, Genlai introduces me. Genlai then scratches and explains us that his best friend Raymay, or a friend of Raymay's from a western country, has come to help us with a machete.

"Shun for the surname, Kai for the first name. My master said," I am not a prince now. "

"Li, it's Lynn. Nice to meet you."

He is Prince Kai, who laughs bitterly in a calm manner, and Princess Lin, who looks slightly nervous.

Princess Lynn was bowing her head for a snack, not coming out of behind Prince Kai because all of a sudden a lot of people appeared.

Prince Jungling and Princess Jungling, huh?

"I'll see you first. The West came from the Kingdom of Verdogal. My name is Theodor-Wilcloud-Gartener-Forestania."

That's why I'll introduce myself. Sheila, Raymay and Ichiemon also each named their names.

I also heard rumors that the prince of the previous dynasty was alive. It was apparently protected by Genlai, is that it?

"It gets longer if we talk... but three generations ago the emperor was sick and weak. The dictatorship of the minister entrusted with the practice led to confusion in the political situation. Multiplying that confusion, he ends up with a man named Showen in power."

And, Genlai tells us a story to the present situation. Bell Abyss, huh?

Three generations ago. In other words, if Prince Kai and his grandfather were to be entrusted with their duties because of their old age, they would have fattened their private bellies.

There appeared an official who had brilliantly uncovered injustice. The official in the matter becomes a man of one leap, gaining the trust of the emperor and the expectations of the people inside the court, and taking real power.

"At the time, it was said that Shawen was also an honorable, clean and white minister."

"At the time, that means... it wasn't, actually."

Genlai snorts at my words.

"... soon the emperor of the time will also die, and Prince Kai's father will reign. This is the emperor... two generations ago. The official sits in his side chamber with his blood relatives and becomes the emperor's cousin."

The emperor, Prince Kai's father, said he was still young when he took office and his political position was weak. And they used the person extra heavily, relied on him, and left the practice to them.

"Everything is going well. Yes, most believed it. But... it wasn't."

Prince Kai shakes his head to the side.

"One heavy town is skeptical of the man. He's been advising Prince Kai."

"Yes, for my grandfather's sake... since Showen showed up, suspicious deaths have been scattered inside and outside the capital."

"Assassination..."

Sheila frowns.

"The prince and the prince see it that way... but there is no certainty about anything other than the prince"

"Accidental death or sickness… so was the fire that broke out in the palace at one point. If you think about it later, it's all in his interest. But by then, he was already in a good condition to say that he was a very good minister."

"Are you saying that no one can stand out and criticize you for being suspicious?"

"The government itself was doing well."

To the words of Ichiemon, Prince Kai says so and waves.

"But that's how I've advised Heavy Town, too, and then lost as much and died. I was half-hearted when I heard the story, but there I became sexually horrified. In the meantime, my father was going to inspect the national situation, so I was to accompany him. I also took my sister... because I was thinking of leaving the whole palace for a little while after the inspection and leaning on my mother's relatives. That's how I thought it would be easier for me to see my late mother's hometown."

"But... a bandit attacked me on the road."

Princess Lynn says spicy.

"Yes. Those are the guys pretending to be bandits. It was shocking to see a general in your face. My father was killed sheltering me and the soldiers caught up with me trying to protect my sister... but I didn't think I could do it anymore."

"Non... it's time to cut training and come down to the public, perceiving that there was something strange in the lower realm. People wandering around the land came from the capital to investigate the Emperor."

So he grabbed the information that the emperor and the prince had come out of the palace to inspect... and thought that if he did well, he would have a chance to get information about the palace, so he went after him.

And then I ran into the raid... so I reminded the assassins that I had killed the prince and princess using the art of replacement.

Even as Genlai, he was not informed at that point, so he was going to pretend to be a temporary death and just hide until he understood the situation.

But if you listen to me, the enemies are the heavy ministers and generals in the palace. It's like letting the mistletoe die. So I had to keep protecting him.

"If you know the mastermind, you just have to succeed..." It doesn't work that well. He also manipulated immortals and treasures - from both the nearby martial arts officers and the civilian population, it was not legitimate. I don't suppose we have all those powerful people. Assuming his outlook was out of the question, he would have gone out to exercise his powers. "

"... Evil Immortal, is that so"

Genlai nods quietly. Genlai set it up, but it was powerless. We were forced to retreat.

"At any rate, one of Non's disciples was fascinated by his power and ran away"

One disciple betrayed him. Then there will also be an explanation for the appearance of an enemy assassin at Hitaca - Orier's.

Prince Kai's half-brother is still a boy, even though the next emperor will reign in the meantime. The tyrant in the matter officially became in the position of regent - should I say that he manifested his true nature from it? He began in the name of Solemnity and Fear Politics by turning down the Emperor's death as a conspiracy by some. The general who was moving as an assassin appeared eventually.

"The reigning emperor is weak. I don't remember if I could be an adult. But without a trace yet, he said it was a problem. The first emperor, worried about him, gave himself the Zen, and he fell to the throne of the emperor..."

Zen conceded - that is, ceded the throne of the emperor.

Fear politics such as tough methods, repression, solemnity, and relentless punishment for heavy taxes are... apparently maintained as they are.

"The Taishokus everywhere who questioned the Zen concessions of their predecessors opposed it. The country is divided without acknowledging legitimacy. The country has been in turmoil since peasant rebellions and bandits have widened everywhere"

Showen himself...... until now he hasn't put that much of his back into the peace of the region. Genlai seems to be analyzing it because it made it look like a ground consolidation for an unstable regime… and was running to gather information to unseal the cemetery.

However, they have made various leaps to release gestures all over the place to cause bandits and work. There seems to be some incitement to division and confusion in the country.... I feel like maybe that's also buying time to unseal it.

Either way, Genlai and Prince Kai, who felt that it was necessary to prepare their strength to defeat them, relied on Taishou, who was thus called a famous man, and, together with his other brothers and brothers, conducted training while secretly working on the Kazuru building in Negijo.

Though Taishou and his men also blame Showen in nominal terms for their disloyalty to the former dynasty,... there is something that makes no distinction between whether they are opposed to Showen because of their loyalty, or whether they see this as an opportunity with ambition. Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean there are no enemy gestures all over the place.

Therefore, we have to stand around carefully to see if we can trust them as allies.

"I… took a training journey with my master to find out what my life had been at the expense of until then. So I don't think it's important... that it's a vendetta or who's going to be king. It's about healing the chaos as soon as possible and restoring the smile and stability of the people. I'm not even satisfied with the coordination with Taisho everywhere right now... but I have to defeat Showen at all costs."

That's what I said, staring at my palm, then Prince Kai holding his fist hard. I could see Genlai clouding his expression with a bit of distress in the words.

In the prince's hand - I can see new marks of wounds. Scratched, blocked, and overlapping wounds from above.

It's called quite sophisticated magic, and it's called the level of physical skill you can ask from your standing behavior… I heard that you must be repeating quite harsh training every day.

That's when. I found that the Kirin scale I kept in my nostalgia... increased my magic powers to pulse. When it was removed, the blurred light emitted a grain of light so that it could be drawn towards Prince Kai.

"... is that...?

"No way......"

The prince who looks at Kirin's scales and tilts his neck, and Genlai who rounds his eyes.

Yeah. Right...... Deposited from the Youki Emperor, Hitaca's treasure. Kirin's scale reacts to a benevolent exchanger -.

I didn't see Genlai's eyes wrong, that is.

"Does he react? Well, if you want to muster some skill or credit."

Raymay laughs.

"Right. I was wondering if I might be able to work with you. First, I'd like to introduce you to some of my colleagues who are waiting nearby."

With that said, Genlai and Prince Kai looked at each other before turning to us and nodding with a serious look.
