Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician
Outside 729, the woman's penance.
"A little, let me lie down. We are... a world called Rungald... no, we have come from the land to this world of demons."
Nepheli said as she looked at the ceiling, lying on the bunk whether she was feeling ill or not.
"... I have heard stories of His Highness the Partheniara and all of you acting to return to your distant homeland of birth"
When Neferi nods at Morghion's words, he puts his hand around his chest. And I said.
"Home... there are other countries there as well as the princesses' born El Bellure. Me and my sister were born on the moon."
To that word - the expression of everyone watching the phantom turned to surprise.
"The moon...?
"- A giant floating island floating high above the sky…"
And Nepheli's explanation... has it turned out to be just like mine? If you want to explain the moon to someone you don't know, it's better to use the floating island of the demon kingdom as an example. In fact, he also convinced Morguion, and when he sees it, Neferi goes on to say it.
"My father belonged to an organization that mainly collects information... but he was an ambitious person with a strong upward orientation. So to make my own achievements, I also came up with the idea of raising my daughters as secret detectives in the country and sending them to the rival El Bellure."
Secret detective...? Two, not one. Flesh parents more than others. Doing so would make it easier to be trusted and act in tandem. Because being together gives me a reason.
When we discussed the demon kingdom, it was not strange to have a kind of secret detective because it was a contending country. We had all talked about it before, but it proved that.
"That... must have been executed. Because you're here."
With a wrinkle between her eyebrows, Morguion says, Neferi closes her eyes and laughs.
"Right. My father was a cold man, but still a flesh and blood parent to our sisters. So... my father praises us if we do well. He looks at me. He loves me. Even when the sisters were together and I thought that... there was one."
Nefery, who laughs sarcastically, goes on with the words.
"At first...... right. I think it was going well. Dive into El Bellure and get a false identity. Send the El Bellure situation and their magic skills to your country."
A spell. Getting the opponent's technology would also mean taking action. Considering that the decursive ritual based on Beschmerck's technique had been effective in lifting demonization... I was thinking about the possibility that the spell had been passed on to the moon.
Neferi and Istrum... I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with family lineage, workplace, etc.
"At first, when you say... did something go wrong?
When Morghion asks, Neferi laughs at herself with a shoulder clasp.
"My sister... King Elberulet has seen me."
"It's..."
"If you look at it as a secret detective position, it's a good opportunity and it's more dangerous. But...... my sister also loved King Elberulet. I wonder if that's miscalculation."
King Elberulet's side room... or has he become a princess?
"My sister may have had a purpose at first, too. When I could help my father as a spy, he might have intended to take advantage of the situation. But that child loved the king. I know how she feels. Not because of merit, but someone who sees himself and loves me. That's what our sisters wanted - our position. That king's ambition won't let me finish the conversation."
My sister abandoned the people of the moon to help those she loved. You betrayed me. Yes, Nepheli says.
"That girl persuaded me. Throw away my father, who won't see us, and try to serve El Bellure with me. I also told her that the king might have noticed us. She said she wouldn't mind."
Neferi reaches for the ceiling and holds his fist to grasp the void.
"For me, my father and sister are flesh parents... I'm lost, and I'm bothered. I didn't know what to do back then."
"Should have been companions, enemies..."
Morghion closes his eyes as he imagines Nepheli's chest. I'm sure it may be difficult for the fangonoids who have no distinction between female and male to really understand the feelings of their sisters.
Still, he's making an effort to understand. To the appearance of such a morguion, Nepheli, for only a few moments, had pointed a small, delightful smile.
If you turn it into a nephelie and see...... if you choose your sister and throw away the moon, you will see my father go bankrupt when he discovers it. If you choose a father... even if you could escape on the moon, your sister would be in danger. Because if you discover that your sister has abandoned the moon beyond knowing the king's true intentions, you may end up using it.
"In conclusion...... I chose my sister. With my sister, I betrayed the moon. My father won't look at us. I noticed that very little. I couldn't abandon my sister for admiring me. Or am I afraid that my sister, who chose the king, will abandon me... and we were just the cutest after all, is that it?
That's what Neferi says, leaking a powerless laugh.
And his sister became a sideroom, and his sister, Neferi, was taken as a woman official. Behind that, as a double spy, he was flowing unusual information to the moon as a spy.
But that's not why I can immediately break it off. Nefery didn't want her father to be convicted. I guess that's the kind of psychology that went on about double espionage. Because while my father is at the service of the moon, he will not be held accountable.
Afraid of the discovery of betrayal that way, Nepheli said he was going through his days.
"The price... here it is."
Nefery looks out the window and tells him to throw up.
"The king failed his magic experiment and brought disaster to his homeland. We're in this place to get away from it. If we are true to our mission. If I had reconsidered trying to stop them from doing things that hurt the spirits... this might not have happened. The people of the moon may have stopped that magic study. Although I realized that my actions were wrong... there was no way back then. I'm the enemy of the princess, aren't I?
Enemy. Sure, yeah. For Parteniara these days, the people of the moon cannot be said to be allies, but that is not the case. There is no doubt in the perception that he is the enemy of Parteniara, who stood up to correct the deeds of King Elberulet and to defeat him.
Even though it might have been stopped, I didn't act for it... from Nepheli's point of view, I can't say I regret it, so I want you to forgive me.
"But that kid - Zenobia didn't turn back like I did. I still want my homeland hegemony with the king... I got information from the moon and was moving to put the moon ship in the king's hands. So I... I destroyed the palace installations, multiplied by the mess the princess had attacked, so as not to build up any more mistakes. One of the treasures my father left me to keep in touch with the moon."
Oh. So, the Elberule scouts broke out of the gates of the demon kingdom and headed to the moon ship? And they snuck into the depths of the labyrinth... engaged with the Last Guardian and were wiped out, but rendered the labyrinth nucleus dysfunctional.
"I soon discovered that I had betrayed the king. Fight, fight, and run. I survived for nothing. And like this, that's why. A helpless woman who regretted choosing her path without being prepared and repeatedly betrayed her master and her flesh parents. That's me."
