Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Oh. Thank you for taking the time. It's okay now."

"Well, let's start looking into it."

Nereid and the others smiled and said, we were going to move the place to the library next door between the portraits - rather than to the vault.

The vault is also quite spacious, but as the saying goes, it is not open to the public, because you are not aware of showing it, or it is less decorative than the exhibition hall in the next room.

As well as collecting books, various materials, notebooks, ornaments, furniture, etc. can be diverse. If you look only at the breakdown, you may be close to opening an old collection and looking at the items inside.

However, the magic props used to maintain the state of preservation also appear to be used for items that are well stored here, and are divided into categories and inventories. With the Balfour Marquis well managed, it's not that hard to find what you're looking for.

"This is inside... you have all sorts of things"

Look around the vault, Grace says.

"It's a household tool in the knight's old collection of books and notebooks... and I wonder if it'll be a good portion. It's going to be tough to check all the items on the boulder, so we're going to look at them from something that's going to have some high priority."

"What kind of stuff should I look into?

Ashley tilts her neck.

"Mmm. From what I've come up with, the diaries and notebooks of the families at the time, the lineage diagrams, and then the magical relationship...?

"I see. If my family knew Sir Sandario was really alive, they'd see a change in the diary."

Nod as Stephania was impressed. That's what I'm after. If I could get a clue from them, would it be your word?

"The genealogy diagram and the magical relationship materials are inseparable. I wish there was some material left in the Martinez family about my son-in-law, my daughter-in-law's family, and my family."

As Claudia conceived, the Marquis of Balfour nodded quietly and responded.

"It's not about the library of Wang Du, but the materials of those aristocrats are also in the Marquis' collection. Let's take a look at some books from another library that might help."

"Thank you"

"What?"

Thankfully, the Marquis of Balfour returned a gentle grin and once he gave me the inventory, he left.

"Mm-hmm. Now, when I've reviewed those materials, I'm going to read them in the next room."

"You will. Well, let's move on."

Let us therefore proceed with the work with reference to the inventory received from the Marquis of Balfour.

First, I look at the age and look at the notebooks rather than the books.

After specifying the type in the inventory, I categorize what I can tell by age, etc., and wave the number on the bookcase and display shelves... I don't know who made this inventory, but it looks like they are doing a meticulous job inside. This won't even take long to figure out the materials you need and load them in the next room.

As the age was being identified, the kind of diaries, notebooks that seemed relevant were quickly found. Remove Mallane from the bookcase as he discovers what he's looking for and grins, and list it overhead.

Genealogy diagrams are also found normally...... there were some magical relational books, but this one is just a basic textbook. Foundational textbooks were also found with regard to the alchemy you are eyeing...... well.

"Because magic research materials are fundamental to the use of cryptography and codes, such materials may be disguised as not known at first sight. Even if we find it, it will take some time to decrypt it, and once we find out what we've been looking at so far, shall we look into it?"

When I said that, everyone nodded as well. The Marquis of Balfour also brought a book from another library, so we move the place to the large room across the street, where we all calm down and load the material we've been looking at.

Nereid's in line with us for a serious look. Time progresses as the Marquis of Balfour and Prince Hellfreet answer questions about things they don't know from time to time, or take a moderate break for tea and sweets in the next room.

For a while I had each loaded the material with a serious look on my face... Rosemary opened her mouth, pointing at the genealogy chart and the material about the nobility.

"I'm curious."

That said, Rosemary gathers everyone's gaze.

"Sir Sandario's maternal lineage - originally seemed to be that of an operator in charge of maintaining ties in the county's urban areas. Though the lineage seemed to have continued apart from the Martinez family... it is possible that his mother herself or Sir Sandario's sister, his brother, could be connected."

Users of junctions. its lineage. It is also a prestigious magician who can be trusted as a magician if he becomes a magician entrusted with the boundaries of urban areas. No wonder you're engaged to the Martinez family.

"Possible use of junctions and alchemy to conceal goods"

"I don't know what to say... it seems like it's usually hard to find it"

says Illumhilt. True, though, a genuine exploration is likely to break my bones quite a bit. Well.

The kind of material that Sandario's sister supposedly left behind - was on the table, near me. Then... do you want me to focus on you?

That's how I found it in a bunch of letters and all sorts of materials.

"I don't know where my brother is anymore, and how long will it be? I - as the world tells me, I don't think my brother died. Because he was a strong and kind man. I believe he's alive somewhere. I feel lonely, sad... but I can't just look behind me till hours. I'm going to write a sentence about what happened back then in order to sort out my mind. '

It was a note that started with such a sentence. As such, she wrote down what happened at the time. She didn't seem to be in the habit of keeping a diary, but seems to write down what happened at the time as a notebook.

It was noted that one day - in the Knights - Sandario and those close to him came to visit the house and only his brother, who served as a maid of honor to get everyone away from the pirates, did not return.

Neither Sandario's father nor mother would ostensibly be disturbed, like himself or his brother, and he answered that to the knights he had contacted when he was proud to have served as a knight.

But...... Sandario's sister wrote that she saw two in her study, leaning against her sobbing mother, a pathetic looking father.

Since then, the Knights have come to bow their heads and look around, they seem to care... you think my brother is just training to beat his anxiety?

It describes what happened while remembering what happened every day since Sandario went missing. One day my brother's best friend, who was surrounded by grief and anxiety, asked - and there is.

"He is - with what thoughts his brother has become a knight. He told me what he wanted to do as a knight. He told our family what our brother thought we didn't know. My brother said - he prayed that the peace ahead would last a long time. I'm sure the idea sounds like a brother. I think so. My father, my mother, me and my brother. I'm proud of my brother."

Sandario himself was heroically perceived by knights and soldiers and had a louder voice to honor, he said. Back to back with the public trying to tell the story. The Martinez family was quiet and calm.

It seems that the story of painting a portrait in it and leaving Sandario's appearance on the day of his presence held up in his family.

"My mother is very good at painting, and my father and brother look similar to my brother. So… so in our memory. While I still can't fade that smile from my memory. I'm going to make it out of pigment with special thoughts with my mother and paint a portrait with the whole family. The future generations will think of my brother. '

"Don't forget your brother's thoughts."

If I noticed, I was making a little noise and getting up out of the chair. Everyone's gaze gathers here.

"Theo?"

Grace tilts her neck.

"Oh. A little - I was wondering. I'm gonna take a look at the exhibition room."

"May I join you?

"Yeah. If it's hard work or overthinking, it's empty, and I'm a little embarrassed."

We all head to the exhibition room, laughing and answering like that.

- Portrait. The portrait was painted after it went missing. It was Sandario's father and brother who became direct models. So as to make it look like Sandario himself, he followed his memories and put his tricks and atmosphere on the picture.

San Dario's best friend. The thoughts conveyed. Pigment. Portrait.

If my sister's notebook was mentioned later. If my best friend was - Sandario himself.

If you know the circumstances of being chased, you can't write it in your notebook as it is.

Still, if there's something I want to tell future generations, I'll footprint it as the words of my best friend, not the person. Then - it also explains the behavior of "best friends" who visited their families at a time when they would still not be comfortable with anxiety either.

Enter the exhibition room and head straight for the portrait. Eyes on every corner of a large portrait. Magic generated by anti-degradation magic props and those that do not are sorted and separated from monoculars.

And then... Oh. I saw it. Really, with a really faint magical reaction. I see thin, mirrored letters on the edge. Maybe he left a letter behind the portrait with paint made of alchemy.
