Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Zoom in on that footage that looks far away. The ice dome is - quite a size. In the distance it looked like a smooth hemispherical dome, but if you zoom in and look, it has a honeycomb structure skeleton formed of ice, with relatively thin, transparent ice stretched out to fill between its skeletons. You look pretty strong structurally, too.

According to Teal, I don't know if they will one day, but the parent's … that again, the herd takes over from the parent's generation all the time, taking care of it with the ability to manipulate the ice?

I guess the honeycomb structure doesn't mean I did some kind of imitation.... instinctive, or do you mean you formed that one based on experience?

Or because the ice crystal itself is based on hexagonal shape, it may be that it has reached its destination.

"- Is there a way to come in later and get inside?

Rosemary asks, Teal nods and answers.

Teal told me that there are holes for breathing in windless directions, and that there are entrances and exits in positions where the domes are facing each other. Once the chicks have grown up somewhat, they'll even let them spend time with each other... not until it's a little brighter, but they'll all come out in the central square.

I see...... Don't you have any trouble with that?

We'll go as far as near the dome as we slow down speed and altitude and moor the Sirius - using demonic props to operate in Antarctica before exiting the deck.

When Mallane does the prayer trick, everyone wraps around the light of the Goddess's protection. The water magic of purification is combined with the protection of the goddess… it does not hold pathogens from the outside.

But well... just give me this far and I'll be clear. Beyond the ice wall I saw a number of shimmers of life-response in shapes similar to teal. Teal off the deck crawls belly - slipping down the ice field with a delightful voice when in a position they say toboggan.

Slip between the domes to the central square. Whether the terrain and dome weaken the wind around here, or did the wind stop, there has been no ground blizzard either. That's how Teal raised his voice.

You heard Teal's voice, and his buddies peer out one after the other from the entrance to the dome on all sides.

I had the slightly confused impression because I saw us accompanying Teal... but when Teal sounded like a "friend who helped himself," those who had a face also looked back into the dome and rang out - I could see the sounds propagated with joy so that the stirring spread everywhere.

One after the other, in the central square... comes out. I guess the night is also advantageous because I work in the sea. Lots of teal people gather around here without hesitation.

Some slip on a belly crawl, others walk shaking their bodies.

"This is another... amazing sight"

Stefania says with a smile. Right. The fact that the surroundings will be full of giant penguins was also a sight I could not imagine until I saw it. But even if you're surrounded by giant penguins, it's less intimidating because the demonic props of translation convey that everyone seems happy.

Somehow, the atmosphere seems lively and delightful. He pats the flipper and pulls the short tail.

In no time, the surroundings were filled with teal's people. Teal held him with those who picked him up with a delightful chirp.

According to the demon props in the translation...... I came home well or my own child was saved because he took the demon...... there is a mix of voices that delight in Teal's return and a voice that honors bravery.

Yeah. Everybody remembers exactly what Teal did for the herd.

So, I'm glad to be back... and I guess this is how you welcome me at the festival.

I'll make sure Teal shows us on the flipper, and I'll explain everything to my people. It helped me where I was lost. You brought me this far. Everyone is sweet. That's what I'm talking about.

Then Teal's people approach us and say hello. Especially as for me, because Teal is the first person in the ocean to hotly argue that he met and helped me, or he's been making a happy squeal and rubbing my cheeks.

Because they are also aware of their enormity, they were never pushed and rubbed... but what is it about stretching their necks like this and rubbing their cheeks, and being lightly touched with feathers and flippers that rubbed both their breasts and thighs... it feels like it's itchy.

"Uh. Yeah. I'm relieved Teal's back together."

Teal's people raise their voices with joy to see if the demonic props of translation also convey the will that was put into my words.

Everyone who accompanied him as well as me seems welcome.

Shake hands with flippers as Grace and Ashley seem to enjoy themselves, or shake their shoulders as cheek-rubbed Mallane tickles, stroking back around the backs of Teal's people. Sheila nods yeah and gives back a hug, and Stefania and Irmhilt shake hands with a smile as well.

Claudia and Rosemary also had zero laughter at the welcome of such demonic penguins. Although Rosemary had a bitter laugh.

The animal group and the spirits...... likewise look like they will enjoy the welcome of Teal's people.

Especially Mar. it's a bird of aquatic habitat, so I guess it's compatible. He was smiling and stroking his head like he saw something smiling.

Like this, very friendly and less alert for demons, also because they are still penguins? I can also hear the chirping of the meaning that standing on both feet is intimate.

As for Teal, my friends didn't hesitate, or they rubbed me in the face delighted to be back, and we all sounded happy... It was quite a festival, but eventually it also showed some calm and it was cold outside, so I was led into the dome to make sure we stopped by our colony.

Inside - because the outside air is indeed blocked, or warmer than outside. I don't see the chick, but the individual holding the egg is noticeable. They're going to hatch and raise children in the spring. I think it's time to hatch, so if I'm lucky, I might be able to see the chicks.

You're warming your eggs while standing wrapped in feathers between your legs... just like a kowtay penguin. It's a large species, and it seems good to see it as a demonic species with a similar ecology to a kowtay penguin.

"So - because I was making a promise to Teal. This is how we visited the land together."

It would be better to explain to the herd who is listening to the conversation how it went from meeting Teal to coming here, scratching and explaining how it happened in an easy way.

So that I don't have to explain the concepts they don't have, replacing words, taking questions from time to time, and also talking about what happened in Hitacanokuni and Hou countries as I answered them... it turned out to be a strange thing, like the whole herd listening seriously to me.

In the middle of the conversation, Corliss, etc. may be relaxing and calming down, and there is an atmosphere already familiar with the colony......

When I finished the conversation, the whole herd shouted surprise and praise... something was wrong with my reaction.

The Sirius also unmasked the light magic in the middle of the story, but it still seems like a familiar silhouette to them. I can hear you feeling cool or something like that.

Excitement with my story - where it settles down, Teal makes a hard claim as he waves the flipper.

It's a long way from where we live, so I miss breaking up. He said that he wanted to create a gate called the Transition Gate where he could come and go with Theodore and the others.

Teal had been asked all sorts of questions about what the transfer gate was and what it was like... but to answer that, if it was such a beautiful place, we would like to go and see it... the voice of consent was spreading more and more... and it seemed to be coming to an early conclusion. Because the demonic props of translation make it easier to communicate will from Teal, this is...

No, you say you're really less alert. I think it's partly because I feel familiar with us walking bipedally, and partly because I feel the protection of the high spirits. There is a strong perception that some marine demons are dangerous, and because of their high physical abilities and their ability to manipulate ice, it is quite possible to see the overall strength as a herd.

Still, there are some things that make me worry that I'm too wary of humans... well, what? I also have a promise to Teal. What we should do as Lord Boundary may be to clarify our position to protect.

It is also in keeping with the policy of the Kingdom of Verdogal that relations with the original friendly demons should be preserved in good form.

When that happens, should I once again firmly name my race as a discoverer?

"I wonder if the transfer gates should be made as planned and the destination should be... Forestania. Originally, I was thinking about contract magic in a direction that only Teal and we could use."

Maybe that's a good idea.

Claudia closes her eyes and nods. Should I expand Forestania in part if necessary? In colder climates, create a compartment with sea water rather than true water...... Well, let's just say we think about that around.
