Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Carla was quite surprised to learn that there might be detective magic in the inventory, in the books, in the bookcase.

"As a clerk... that's a few complicated feelings. It may have been incorporated for reasons that do not apply to us..."

That's what I say and lay down my face. I guess I'm shocked because Kara's work ethic is legitimate. As a librarian, you don't want to take part in anything detrimental to your users?

"You may not be able to analyze everything, but you may be able to analyze and look for such objects in the books you relate to this time."

"Can you do that?"

Kara seemed surprised by what I said, but soon she'd tell me like she'd gotten back on her mind.

"So can I ask you to do it from me, too? If someone planted it on their own, they have a duty to report it, and if it is the will of the kingdom, it may be necessary, but... I think it is dishonest to be unaware."

Kara says. The expression does not change because he is a Papetian, but his voice was serious.

"Okay. I know how you feel, but please don't be impotent. If anything, it will help."

"Hehe, you're worried about me. Thank you. Even if I raise the issue, I want to think about when and how."

And it is Carla, who laughs and snorts small. Maybe we should keep Kara in mind so that we can rescue her.

So... let me look into the technical books before I look at them. You should be able to analyze it in a way that lets Uroboros and Orihalcon mediate magic to read the embedded surgical formula and have Wiz simulate its effects.

The Royal Library books can be faintly magical because copy magic is originally used for collecting books... well. It's hard to understand if you're confused by it, but it's a good hand.

Let's start with the inventory that Carla uses at the counter. It seems that it is also an original for copy magic, and there is a mechanism whereby any string can be copied by using a surgical formula.

Pass magic through the Uroboros for analysis. Beginning with the fitting, the magic of scanning runs from everything on the page to the back cover and to the demonic stones incorporated in the back cover, touching the surgical formula embedded within.

"... it's an embedded surgical formula... do you have a surgical formula that captures the surgical formula of the inventory and then this is - like classifying and searching a book? Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any extra manners."

Answering that to Kara as she sipped and watched, she nodded after showing her how to stroke her chest down like she was relieved.

"Yes, it incorporates a technique for searching in order to find the desired book"

Special ink for copy magic is used in the characters in the catalogue. The magic stone incorporates a technique like a tag function based on the name of the book. For example, if you substitute a keyword like history book for a variable part of the procedure, you can respond to the name of the book in the inventory and glow the name of the book in the inventory, or copy the string in conjunction with copy magic… a feature that seems quite useful when using the library.

Because it's a technique using ink and books, or even though it seems interesting to see what's happening on the bridge of the Sirius.

Either way, the inventory itself does not appear to have undergone any strange workmanship. This is something that Carla often uses in her daily business, so it would be difficult for her to feel uncomfortable.

Then - if detective magic is used, is it the book itself or the bookcase? I have a copy of the inventory that Carla made for me for the books I took from the fangonoid research, so I will rely on it to examine the relevant books and bookcases in a similar way.

"... oh. Found it."

After researching some of the books I used for the research, I lost much of them and found the finishing touches. There is a surgical reaction inside the fitting of a book written about fangonoids.

However, in one book, it does not react because it is a fragmentary procedure. It's not what I expected around here either.

It's like a key and a keyhole, if you like. Contract magic is activated when you lay or line up more than one book with a stack of plants… a mechanism whereby notifications go in tandem with a magic item available somewhere.

This prevents false detection from occurring to the extent that it has been taken into your hand and to the extent that the bookshelf is tidy, while being able to detect fangonoids if you have someone to focus on.

It is difficult to detect beforehand that fragmentary surgical formulas, by making them harmless in themselves, do not anticipate that there is a "manufacture itself".

If these conditions for detection are met, we can also set up a counter with a spell... well, the purpose and background are unclear at the moment, so let's go easy. A counterattack against harmless maneuvers is somewhat incompatible. If this was more malicious, I would have set up a counter again.

Explaining how it turned out, Kara was snorting quietly.

"The question is, at whose will has this been done?"

"Right. I was wondering if we should be careful until we have a clear background to protect ourselves."

Kara nods honestly to my response.

It is quite possible that the person who has come into contact with Kara claimed to be a public authority person and that it was the policy of the kingdom because he was planted in the Royal Library… it would be good to think without asserting that it was done at the will of the Demon King and officials of the kingdom.

Because it is not impossible to do this kind of shopping if you are an individual or a faction or organization that is connected to a book or library. In that case, the traitor is lost or arbitrarily committed inside the demonic kingdom.

If it was lost among library users...... I wonder. Though it seems somewhat difficult to avoid people and plant the technique at the opening time.

We still haven't figured out if it's an enemy or an ally to the Fangonoids.

I'm pretty sure Carla doesn't have a back. If Avril's senses diverge her speech, behavior, and emotions, she decides on words, tricks, etc. so that she can convey them.

"Anyway, if you're following us that far, you won't go far enough to monitor us and make contact. You just have to figure out who you're dealing with."

When Rosemary says while hiding her mouth with a feather fan, Mallane nods with a serious face. Each of the summoners waiting on the side of the Sirius also nodded.

"Mm-hmm. I'll be on guard."

"Right. I think we can detect suspicious movements around the inn."

and Sheila, who is moving her ears and tail to see how she is in the mood, and Illumhilt, who is closing her eyes to the word.

"So, Mr. Bloomwood and the others, when you say you have a problem, please prioritize your own safety. It's not against the law, it's not against the law, it's not against the state."

The rest of us and the people of the demonic kingdom are in a different position. Let's make sure you don't have to shelter us until we defy public authority.

"That's... thankful to hear. But remember, I intend to be on your side whenever possible."

Verito and Orellietta and the others were also nodding with a serious look at Bloomwood's words.

"Thank you"

Bloomwood responds with a quiet laugh in response to my response. The future policy is to wait for them to move, so the research is on schedule. Let's take a look at technology-related books while we're careful if there's any magic tricks involved in detection.
