Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Sitting on a round table set in the tent, he introduces himself over a cup of tea. Undo the dyed hair color in a surgical manner to reveal that it came from the West.

"I say Theodor-Wilcloud-Gartener-Forestania. I've come from the Kingdom of Verdogal in the West."

"Oh my...! I hear there is a kingdom of the beast man on the other side of the Devil's Forest, etc... They're bringing strange warcraft with them."

"Amazing from the West......! No way, over the Devil's Forest, is it?

It seems to have been a surprise to General Siga and Suutai on the boulder.

"No. It is a form of bypassing the difficulties of the sea route and landing from the Hitacanokuni side. The kingdom of Verdogal is the kingdom of Einfeus, the beast kingdom, and it lies further southwest."

"I see..."

"There is a part of Hitacanokuni that was triggered by the incident in Einfeus, the beast kingdom, or by a visit to this country. Well, let's just say that the more detailed explanation of the circumstances comes after everyone's introduction. At the moment, I hope you understand that my position is as a helper."

"That's another comforting thing!

I will introduce myself in such a way.

"- Raymay... the Great King... huh?

After all, or what? It was when Raymay introduced herself that General Siga reacted strongly in other faces.

"Definitely in that Raymay. I came to Genlai's helpers on the edge of familiarity..."

"Oh my...! Hmmm...... uhm. After all, our oral history was true. No, thicker in righteousness than in oral history, I can show you with a samurai......!

General Siga nods to Raymay's words as he feels something, then kneels down and joins his fists and palms, looking straight at Raymay and saying:

"On behalf of the clan and those living in this land, I would like to thank you once again for saving the lives of my fathers. It is only with Lord Genlai and Lord Raimei that we have today and that our children and everyone is healthy......! You're welcome!

Raymay hears the words with a serious look, and nods.

"The word... did receive"

Then I say with a little laugh.

"But well... what. I don't like being a lifesaver and all that heavy borrowing. It would be helpful if they treated me a little more normally in the future."

"Oh, this is rude. Yes, sir."

That's what General Siga stands up for.

I don't like it, but don't feel like Raymay around taking their serious words well. You and the Oriers watched such an exchange quietly.

That's how I went a little out of line, as Genlai predicted, but I will continue to introduce myself and explain the circumstances here.

"- That's why we've been expanding our deals at the same time as delivering artifacts... Thanks to the suspicious clouds in the neighboring countries, I have offered to cooperate and accompanied them."

"Thank you, Lord Theodore."

General Siga and the others were very convinced that the introduction explained the situation.

I guess it's a big deal that Genlai, Raymay and Prince Kai are accompanying us.

"If you leave Showen alone, not only Hitaca, but the firepowder is going to fly in the West, too. Would you say you are unreliable as a trading partner in the first place... because I personally don't want to get too close"

"Damn, this is a painful thing to say inside."

"Absolutely. I'd love to hear it from some of Shawen's guys."

And General Siga and Sutai were laughing delightfully at my light mouth.

Okay. Next I just want to go with the operational description... but before I do, Prince Kai has an important story to tell me. Turning his gaze, he nodded and opened his mouth.

"I have something to tell you"

To Prince Kai's serious face and tone, he corrected his residence to make his expression serious if the two of them perceived anything.

"It's after the battle with Showen. Both of you, could you help me, please? If I can get the mess to settle as soon as possible by standing, I think I should do my part..."

Set aside the words of Prince Kai as if they were shattered. The two stand out of their chairs with their eyes open.

"- Have you made your decision!

"That word! We've been waiting for you!

And poking his mouth out was a welcome word for Prince Kai to become emperor.

Seylan, a sister disciple, was also closing his eyes and nodding, wondering if there was anything to think about Prince Kai's decision. Prince Kai... he was still nervous, breathed a little before saying.

"Thank you for that word. I'm glad to have you all welcome to this story... but now I have nothing. I am also aware that it is immature and disproportionate. If there's anything I don't want to do, I want to correct it."

"What do you say? Without His Highness Kai, there is no one else to be recognized as our master."

"Exactly. It is an exploration of the bellies of the people visiting after the defeat of the rebels, and the wartime that accompanies it… it is depressing to think. If stability comes with the crusade of the rebels, there is nothing more to be desired, and if you are an exchanger with a people, you are not welcome."

Right. We need to throw ourselves into more warfare even though we're trying to stabilize... or something like that... if you were a decent ruler of territory under a solid dynasty until a while ago, you'd have a headache.

If an ambitious man sees war as an opportunity, he'll take it another way, but if politics is disturbed and even dysfunctional, he'll have to make an effort to defend himself in an effort to keep the safety of people close to him, such as his lords, his faction's men, and his families, to his inhabitants. Especially if a raw man stood up there like Showen laying fear politics.

You don't have to be ambitious… you will be born into circumstances that are not just your own will, such as, for example, to reward the ministers of the faction, or have to respond to the expectations and grievances of the people.

That's why a decent person would also be welcome if someone were to be recognized as authentic by everyone after defeating Showen, and if the character of that person is desirable. Because it is a good opportunity for confusion to fit in as early as it can think of and return to its original sheath. Above all, you don't have to throw yourself into the invisible battle ahead of you, betraying the survival of your own faction.

In any case, it can be said that with the confirmation of the will of General Siga and Suutai, the footsteps of the people have been aligned.

I'd like to move on with the operation, etc., but one more thing. I have a suggestion for you.

"- With that said, there are many demons in the West, and we've heard that we need strength to contain their damage."

That's why Genlai and the others have told me that there is a part of Showen not pointing his main battle force at him that the Northwest can't properly hit the power he holds.

"Right. We have to keep our forces outside of Showen to protect the city."

"To solve it, our faction also formed an alliance with Lord Siga, in the form of sending supplies and reinforcements"

Right. And junctions have not developed because there were no demons in this country. If we can deploy massive barriers along the outer walls at times of need, rather than against the demon kingdom, we can prepare for the demon even if we suppress the force and see it. Explain such contents orally.

"Oh my... such a way"

"What do you say today… you are amazed to keep standing up"

"A weak demon without an entity can always prevent an intrusion into the city's interior with a deployed junction, and individuals with strong powers, individuals who can fly through the sky, can also bounce back if they deploy a junction for emergencies. I was wondering if it would be easier to respond by draining them after stopping them and intercepting them after preparing the footprint for counterattack."

"It's... great"

Let urban areas connect to make it easier to move your power if you don't have a problem. I think it's best to get rid of the hindsight concerns as much as possible.
