Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"This is..."

... I don't feel a life response as well as a magic reaction from a crystal girl - it would be because of the magic formation on the floor. If you want to analogize the effects of the technique from the description of the magic formation... cover-up magic - no, it's a kind of technique that should also be described as a cover-up junction.

Stepping inside the magic formation, I was able to sense extremely contained life reactions and steady magic from the girl sealed in the crystal.

As for the crystal that seals the girl...... is it by magic props? It appears to generate crystals from something like a pedestal, fixing a state of pseudo-death. If so, it would not be difficult to disarm.

Maintain a state of temporary death with certainty. Disarming is meant to be easy... rather than sealing, to protect or extend life, to make you survive and endure even in distress... is it? If I could think of something from the sorcerer's notes or from this procedure, I don't think that's the only reason.

On the other hand, as for the magic formation... it's another technique of a different lineage than the Halvaronis-style cover-up magic.

Let's keep a good record of the magic team's descriptions, etc. It might help us to analogize which genre's technique is later. Nevertheless... the fact that I purposefully covered it up...

No, I'll think about it later now. There seems to be no danger first, so it would be a good idea to keep everyone informed of the situation and then move on.

The hidden room itself is small, but there is also a little more space than the aisle. Everyone seemed surprised by the boulder when they looked at it.

"For how long... I guess this is what I've been doing. The sorcerer... looks like he was trying to protect this one."

"I suppose that's what protection and life extension is all about, but if you look at what you've been doing to cover it up, isn't this because you're afraid of someone's pursuit?

Grace tilted her neck, Rosemary said as she conceived. I thought so, too, about the reason for obstructing the pursuit.

"Then... until we know what's going on, we might as well get ready to hide it after we get it out of the crystal column."

Stefania says with a serious look.

"Right. It seems like you should stand around carefully, even if you say that time has passed, but that doesn't necessarily solve the situation you have."

"Now, we'll use cover-up magic on the crystal pillars, and we'll use cover-up magic on one of the rooms on the Sirius."

Forceto nodded quietly. Indeed, it would be easier to follow things later if we acted to avoid disrupting detection.

I also made magic artifacts that used cover-ups on individuals for undercover work in Howe Country. It's not impossible to live everyday life while interfering with detective magic.

Nevertheless, I've kept my identity in mind so far, so I'm not sure you can honestly tell me what's going on.

"What about the sorcerer?

"I'll make a coffin out of wood magic. Later I'll look around the whole ship and collect the two of them if nothing else seems... I guess I'll bury them in the ice as usual before returning to Termwilds. It looks like you should move carefully if you don't know what's going on."

So Sheila nodded.

Look inside the ship… make sure there is no other hidden space, no survivors, no bodies, etc.

Looking at the barn, the remains of food seemed to have been depleted.

Maybe it's only natural given the mage's meticulous work that there's nothing in the treasure trove. Because there can be enough evidence to identify treasures, currency, etc.

Speaking of what I found in the end... the equipment I touched and the unknown provenance of the magician's proprietary.

That's how we loaded the Sirius with magician-related items, like coffins and crystal columns, as planned, and buried the ship under the ice in a manner close to its origin, before we left Antarctica behind.

The Sirius slowly surfaces, even while Forceto is applying a cover-up to the entire compartment where the crystal columns rest. Set the route to Term Wills. Slowly increase altitude and speed to enter a stable flight.

"We have no problems with cabin cover-ups."

and that's where Forceto returns to the bridge. So... let's call it a demon prop release. It's a return from a state of temporary death, so it's safer to go on board a variety of prepared ships. Ashley nods with a serious look as she gazes at me.

"We also have all kinds of potions, medical products and magic props available"

To Ashley's words, Mallane, with the medical box in her hand, creaks and shakes her neck vertically.

"So can we leave the ship to Alpha?

With that said, Alpha nodded. So we head with everyone to the cabin.

"Considering the mood when you wake up safely... you don't seem like a bit of a human resource person."

"... it would be nice to hear what's going on, Claudia."

Ilmhilt answers Claudia's words a little worryingly. Right. Both Claudia and Irmhilt...... I guess you know that kind of mood. Teal also raised his voice as he seemed worried. Seems like that's how you say you miss your people if they're gone.

Head to the cabin where the crystal encloses the girl.

Looking at the girl in the crystal again...... her outfit is still a crude robe...... she seems to have chosen something less distinctive.

I made it impossible to identify myself from my figure...... should I assume, paradoxically speaking, that I had quite a social status?

But... let's put that aside now.

"Review the procedure. Once you release the magic prop, put it to sleep on your sleeping table… check the magic flow and pulse caused by circulating smell, and respond if there are any abnormalities."

"Yes, it's always okay"

Everyone snorts at Ashley's words, too. Okay, let's get started. The part of the crystal column that is on the pedestal is embedded with demonic stones. Touch it and stop the magic prop.

Moments later, the crystal that was wrapping the girl's body became a grain of light and scattered on all sides. Support the body of the girl Sheila is about to collapse and let everyone sleep on the bunk.

There is spontaneous breathing. The weak life-response has also become quite firm, freed from crystals, even though it cannot yet be said to be in this condition, and reddened on the cheeks and lips.

Ashley takes my wrist and looks at my pulse, and in the meantime, I'm also circulating smell to see if there's anything unusual about the magic flow in the girl's body.

"Pulse is normal."

Ashley says.

The data to be analyzed by Wiz indicates normal values. But... there was an anomaly in the magic flow. I see a strangely high magic reaction.

Near the heart... near the body surface, huh?

The flow of magic other than that part is always normal. There doesn't seem to be any problems with physical function, including the heart...... And that part of the anomaly is remarkable.

It also seems to be connected to the flow of magic in the body… it functions entirely as part of the girl. I don't think it's harmful because it's stable.

"From the magic power, I don't see any physical problems... Er...... There's no way I can confirm it, so I want everyone to confirm it. There may be something on the body surface around the heart."

"Okay."

Once the circulating smell is cut up, leave the girl. Waiting outside the cabin while they checked under the robe, it was slightly there and called from the inside.

"I checked. There's a strange tattoo and a mole... and I tried to recreate it with dirt magic."

Stephania shows me that.... prints I've never seen before. Have Wiz remember it, and if it looks like it was made of dirt magic first, get rid of it.

... You don't know who you are. It's not like it's some kind of procedure. I can think of several possibilities...

"I wonder what. This was the cause of the protection, and you were afraid of pursuing it, or something?

Return inside the room. Rosemary did her hand to his chin, frown root and said it that way.

"That's a good chance. Perhaps the raiders were trying to secure the girl's identity."

When I solved it from the crystal seal, I solved it... but the mystery grew.

Still, is there some part of the magician that has somehow seen why he was trying to protect it? Later, if the person regains consciousness… some information may be obtained.

In the meantime, let's get you fitted with a cover-up demon prop now. It was Serafina who brought the ornamental magic prop and Grace carefully crossed it over the girl's neck.
