Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

When I turn my consciousness to touch a shard of memory, something else spreads to my sight, which should be closing my eyes. Where is it - the valley of spores?

The owner of the memory, I guess, is still a fangonoid.

Fangonoid-like rounded hands and feet are visible in sight. I guess I'm familiar with it as far as I'm concerned because it's an FPS perspective where I say it in the game.

Out of my consciousness...... everyone has fangonoids mirroring the landscape I'm looking at in illusion too.

What time is it... I don't know. The fangonoid seemed to take care of the mushrooms growing in logs, but he looked up into the sky - he noticed something white that flew in fell out of the woods, and started running after it.

Whether it falls into other early mornings or late nights in time, the other fangonoids don't seem to realize anything about it without being active. Is this fangonoid... on duty to take care of logs or something like that?

But we're moving out of the woods on our own... It may be that at least we think that when there is no threat like the Raiders, or even if there is, we can deal with it.

Running through the trees… Fangonoids go into the back of the woods as they look around. We find traces of blood along the way, we rely on it to follow it further, and we find it.

It was... a young woman with bright brown hair. They're not Diabolos, they're not Giggers, they look just like us, but are they from El Bellure? If so, it is likely that this was when the Parteniaras were in the demonic world. Or maybe there was someone left in the demonic world that Parteniara didn't know about.

You're wounded. Clothes, hair, face, dirty with blood and mud. You don't even have the strength to move, leave your body in the trunk of the tree and look up at the fangonoid as you relax.

It was Parteniara watching the phantom that reacted to the woman's face. Eyes open to surprise.

"Is this the woman who was serving King Elberulet...!

Really? I don't know why the woman is here or what time it is in chronological order...... Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's someone who can use magic. I flew and ran, and here I fell.

"Are you ok......!? Oh, His Highness the Parteniara's......!

To the fangonoid trying to rush over, the woman is weak, but she turns her hand and tries to stop acting.

"About me... leave me alone. I don't even need help..."

"But......!

"It's okay... You said the princess... the mushrooms in the valley...? I'm the princess's, because I'm the enemy. Heh, heh. Trying to escape where no one is... falling into a place like this... oh my god. Even the dumb ones..."

That's what makes a woman fall apart. Fangonoids rush closer, but apparently they're just unconscious and breathing. Confirming that, the fangonoid looked relieved.

Let the fellow Valley know or do as the woman wishes. Fangonoids seemed to be cruising, but eventually they got their thoughts together, and they started moving.

The scene changes. In a simple wooden cabin, the body of a woman resting on a sleeping table was bandaged and something was wrapped around her, and she could see how the treatment had been applied.

Has Fangonoid been picking herbs, and he seems to be crushing it in a bowl to formulate his medication. There are pots in the cabin, and they seem to be cooking something. As I worked that way, my voice leaked small from the woman.

"Ugh..."

Fangonoids gaze at the woman who opens her eyes thinly.

"My eyes... are you awake?

To the inquiry of the fangonoid, the woman puts her face to the pain of her body trying to move. That's how you realized you were being given first aid, and when you exhaled, you left your body on the sleeping table and opened your mouth.

"... Yep. Apparently... they even treated me for the wound. Where are we?"

"It's near where you fell. We used magic to build a small cabin. Don't worry, I haven't informed my people and I don't usually come around here"

In the words of the fangonoid, the woman blinks.

"Though it was a long time ago that I heard the story... you have the character as the princess said. You don't think it's dangerous that you haven't even told your people?

"Your Highness Parteniara also tells you to be good but not too trustworthy. I thought about that too... because it seemed like something I was giving up. If you're going to deceive me, you're not going to reveal that you're an enemy, you're going to think about using it."

When the fangonoid narrows her eyes and answers so, the woman pulls her powers out of her body and closes her eyes as if convinced.

"Yes...... Perhaps so."

A little silence.

"My name is Morguion. What about you?"

Fangonoid - A woman does not answer a morguion question. Morguion doesn't look angry, wait a little, then nod at the lack of a response, and he keeps saying.

"Anyway, why don't you stay here until the wound heals?

"... I don't know where I'm going."

"Then you should stay here. As I said, if you will not harm your people, I feel that His Highness Parteniara will forgive you."

"Heh... heh. The princess is kind, but there is a forgiving sin and an unforgivable sin. In my case... the latter. And... No, let's not."

Saying so, the woman laughs mocking herself, closing her eyes and waving.

"There seems to be something we don't understand... It's time for me to go back to my people. If you have pain, take this medicine, and if you have an appetite, eat the food. Her Royal Highness Parteniara has taught me that medicine is analgesic. And the magic of healing... I wish I could have used it"

That's what he said. On Morguion's back, trying to walk away from the cabin, a voice was called.

"... it's Nepheli. That...... my name"

Morghion looks back at such Nepheli's words and responds with a narrow eye and a laugh. The word "thank you" was uttered on the back of Morguion, who nodded and exited the cabin.

Then - Morguion seemed to take care of Nepheli when he picked an inactive time slot for his friends to get out of the valley. A few days or weeks. I don't know how long, but many memories come to mind and disappear.

You think it's a mountain vegetable and mushroom soup or a medicine made from a variety of herbs? Because the fangonoids like to entertain customers, there was enough storage for that.

Mushrooms and herbs are easy to preserve if dried. Against this background, it was never discovered by the other fangonoids that they were hiding Nepheli.

Morguion and Nepheli were better friends than they were when we met... but still, Nepheli's condition didn't get much better, he even seemed worse every day he chased. I don't have an appetite. It's like Neferi doesn't have the strength to live on her own.

"... at least just food"

"Hehe. That way, it's hard to get into someone else. I... am a villain and have nowhere to be found. It's not worth sheltering someone like you."

"It's..."

Neferi laughs calmly as she looks at Morguion. The smile seemed to embrace everything.

"If you've taken care of me so far, right? So no matter what happens to me, I'll tell you first that you're not sick. You should forget about me now. Must be... annoying"

Neferi says so...... Morghion closed his eyes and answered.

"Nevertheless... let me stay with Neferi for the time being. It's sad to be alone and forgotten by everyone."

To that word of Morghion...... Nepheli tried to look up to heaven for a little while, but eventually he returns his gaze to Morghion and opens his mouth.

"Morghion, because he is so kind... So am I... anxious and wanting to be sweet about kindness, I am. I'm sorry. I wish I'd just left quietly by myself."

Morguion shakes his neck quietly to the side.

"If you like, let me hear it. Tell me about you. It may be easier if we talk."

"We won't solve it. You could be disillusioned."

"I won't. Because I'm a friend."

Morguion laughs calmly. Nepheli narrowed her eyes slightly moistened in tears… and told her story.
