Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Fangonoids. In various areas... Oh. This whole thing."

The book with the description of the fangonoid was in the compilation of the secretary. When Rosemary discovers the descriptive part during the recitation, she gathers the kind of gaze that everyone expects. Yes, it's a man-made tactic to expect someone to pull a hit because it's what we're looking for in quite a few books.

Rosemary laughs thinly and nods one, further reading the literature.

"- Fangonoids, a minority species living only in the depths of a region's forests, whose names are scattered in various fields. There are still some anecdotes about living in secluded depths, but not usually interacting with other races, but having accommodated visiting guests and strayed travellers with a moderate personality that does not like strife"

And that was what started with such a statement.

A species of mushrooms with intelligence who can speak the language and walk like people. If you recognize an opponent, you may teach one end of your knowledge as if to show you the way, you are called the sage of the forest because of his deeds, and you have a wide variety of knowledge… etc.

Fortunately, there was a source for the part about being scattered in various fields. As I follow the material with its descriptions as a clue, I can see that fangonoids are handing over knowledge in various fields, times. Magic, math, architecture, pharmacology...

Although there seemed to be some views linking the advanced knowledge to the ruins of El Bellure... In the first place, there seemed to be a scene in which there was not much progress in research because of the fact that the lifestyle of the Fangonoid settlement and that ruins were not considered to have anything to do with each other, and the fact that the ruins of El Bellure themselves were located near an inconvenient border, etc.

It is said that the ruins of El Bellure are from a time when small nations were skirmishing, a country of exile… in fact, they may be from a time far before that.

Well... I guess there are some things in that history that are the effect of the payment technique applied by Parteniara, or that I was careful not to leave too many clues when withdrawing from the demonic world.

"Is that knowledge that I told you also still based on the knowledge that Master Parteniara and the others told you?

One by one, we take turns to take a break and head to the cafe, which is co-located in the library.

The Diabolos have gone into a break first and are already back into the investigation, so you decided it was okay to ask about the past a lot, and when Elena asks, Parteniara does her hand to the jaw as she envisions, before answering.

"Dialogue in words. I've taught you how to read and write letters, how to calculate them easily, and how to handle magic. The Fangonoids... were a memorable species anyway. In addition to the knowledge conveyed by the concubines, we may have pursued knowledge gained through exchanges of other races and our own knowledge and culture based on them."

Does that mean that Parteniara and the others taught the reference part?

It is very significant that the words, the corresponding letters, the concepts of numbers and calculations alone were obtained where they were not.

"How did it go with the fangonoids?

Parteniara replies with a nostalgic smile when Grace asks.

"I helped an individual who was distracted from the fold where he was conducting his investigative activities to be attacked by demons. The concubines were exhausted, so you let them rest in the valley of the spores."

Later, when we first met, it was big enough for even large individuals to hold it by hand, and Parteniara shows its size.

Is it roughly the size of a volleyball? As a mushroom, it's the size of a breakthrough, but as a fresh-born fangonoid in the demonic world, it was probably just a young body.

"When I was resting in the valley, the investigation team consulted... because I was imitating the words. It's a corner, so I tried to teach you the language. Understanding that, he thanked me that this was a great thing. The concubines also took care of the mushrooms that were suitable for consumption. Without them, the people might not have been able to eat."

I see. We helped each other, and the fangonoids got wisdom, and the partenialas got food. They say the fangonoids came close to the human type in appearance... but was it because of the influence of the Parteniaras? I wanted to get along. Maybe.

"Fangonoids behave like they see someone in trouble and give away their knowledge... maybe because they had those first encounters"

"If that's the case... I'm glad to hear that."

Parteniara laughed with her nostalgic eyes narrowed.

That's how I finish my break and go back to the research. Fangonoid is the character as it was in information from the Parteniara and Diabolos tribes, who seem to have been helping people and giving them all sorts of knowledge for quite some time... it's still unclear where they went.

It seems it was a long time ago that information came out that he was gone according to the Bloomwoods, so I also tried to hit the books after that... There were not many books on the disappearance of the Fangonoids, and there were parts of them that would slightly strangle me even if I saw what happened at the time.

'It seems unnatural that there are so few books to mention, because this is the kind of race that can be seen at a glance in terms of academia. It shouldn't be strange to be searching a lot for them missing.

That's the opinion of Osgrave, who was watching this exchange on the bridge of the Sirius.

Certainly. It was the countries adjacent to the valley of spores that had interactions with them - that is, they would become demonic kingdoms. If we no longer know where the species called Sage is going, it would be important for scholars and researchers to be exchangers anyway.

Well, according to the clerk's story, the copies magically add up to something that is viewable, so there is a good chance that there will be a collection of books as books that are not open to the public.

"Mm-hmm. What are the chances that the Demon Kingdoms are involved in the migration of fangonoids and their destinations?

and Sheila tilts her neck.

"That's a good chance. The possibility of wanting to keep information down because you are sheltering, and the possibility that you are looking for a whereabouts and controlling information because you are trying to use it the other way around and…. Though I can't say anything because both are possible. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're looking at that knowledge at a glance."

Friendly or hostile to fangonoids? There are parts of the information that I don't know if it's restricted… It's necessary to gather information about the current situation from some time ago: previous generations and the demon kings of today. As for the current Demon King... I'm sure he has a good reputation.

But it is also true that there are parts of the country that involve more risk than being a feudal state that makes such a reference to its own, and also to its incumbent, exchangers. In fact, there was nothing in the library books to say too badly about the demon kings of history, and we also assume that the descriptions are about our own country.

"When this happens... it could be the stage where Avril and Horn gather information, including rumours."

"Now... we have enough information to get you into the basement."

When I say it, Claudia snorts too. Right. I've found out about the various races that live in the demonic kingdom, and the long-lived races would be familiar with what happened some time ago.

And even if you listen in your dreams, you can't ask questions without some common sense about the demonic world. It is expected that based on the information studied in the library, we will also be able to gather information efficiently.

Fangonoids...... When I hear you interact with Parteniara, don't make me want you to be safe.
