Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Hey, Theo."

"Yeah. Al."

When I went down to the shipyard and showed my face out of the large pod, Albert and the others greeted me with a smile.

Dolores, who is usually calm enough, is in a good mood because the Helianthus is returning. Miriam, the owner of the Labyrinth Chamber of Commerce, also shows up because of her involvement in the trade.

Miriam herself does not sell trade goods, but to talk about what kind of goods were given to the East at the meeting of the Commercial Alliance, what was the reaction, and what kind of products were brought back from the East, etc.

"This is Lord Theodore."

"It's a good day to have a refreshing breeze. Bring it to celebrate your arrival."

And, with Dolores, Miriam smiles too. The family of the sailors on the Helianthus are gathering, and they will bow down as we arrive.

"Oh. I think the sailors will be happy to welcome you all together"

I smile back at the greetings from all the faces in the shipyard.

A large float pod, which was delivered to the Royal Castle with escorts and carriages, arrived at the shipyard.

It was King Melvin and Prince Josiah who came down. Princess Adriana. More Princess Yura and Princess Lin are coming from Hitaca and Hou countries.

Princess Yura and Princess Lin... we picked up the arrival of the Helianthus to celebrate the successful development of the route in a way that imitates it.

"This, Your Majesty, all of you."

"Mm-hmm. Looking good, above all."

Greeting the Kings of Melvin, he responds with a smile.

"Everyone wanted to pick me up, so I came with them in the float pod."

"Pfft. So you don't have to do it. But I know what it's like to think of your family from the comfort of a float pod ride."

"It's - I'm afraid so."

Respond with a small laugh to King Melvin's words.

That's how Princes Josiah and I were greeting each other, and I saw the Helianthus approaching from offshore. It is the shipyard that enters the port, but in an attempt to see at first sight the Heliansus, which has returned before it, people are also pushing at the port's dock, crowded in the visiting mountains.

A pedestrian runs an open air, or a stall sells skewers, etc. It is quite busy.

"The planned date of the return of the Helianthus was also well known to our fellow merchants, so I suspect there may be many pedestrians and stalls"

Miriam tells me. So open-air shoppers and stalls are also conveniently open in the harbor.

"Another while, Termwilds and Forestania are going to be busy with merchants."

"Right. I think it's good."

Answer that to Grace smiling.

Informing merchants has the advantage that it will be easier for us to revitalize trade in the future... but the Labyrinth Chamber of Commerce is also a direct distributor of Brightwell Workshops. It does not become a major player in the development of routes, and assuming the role of informing fellow merchants of such business opportunities also leads to the prevention of disturbances from merchants.

The Helianthus comes to the harbour with the applause and cheer of the spectators. The sailors had also bowed to the spectator from the deck. Although many sailors are quite wild, I have the impression that only the sailors of the Helianthus are chosen from various countries, and that they are well trained, so they are polite and so on.

That's how the Helianthus enters the shipyard. The Helianthus docked while making sure we were picking him up and saluting him from the deck toward us.

The sailors seemed to be ready, and the tarap was immediately unloaded and the captain, who had given instructions to the sailors, disembarked.

"I didn't expect so many people to welcome me warmly. Residents are gathered here, and thank you."

And I'm going to thank you again.

"Uhm. It was truly great to develop a route with the East. The Helianthus and its sailors' feats will be told to future generations."

"Congratulations. We are delighted to have returned without a shortage of anyone on our way back."

"Welcome home. I'm impressed to see the captains at Termwilds, and I'm relieved."

King Melvin and I, then Dolores will tell the captains each word of celebration.

"It's an unbearable word. This could be accomplished thanks to the warmth and support of His Majesty Melvin, Lord Theodore, who built a safe route and a wonderful ship with Lord Dolores. Of course, the sailors worked well and supported the voyage. Sailors are proud to have been involved in this route development program."

The captain laughed and returned those words to me.

While we were talking about that, the sailors would also get off the ship one after the other and line up at the shipyard.

Don't catch all sorts of items. Dolls in wood-carved crafts and paintings. Items classified as artwork such as ceramics, sunny shades of kimonos, ornaments such as necklaces, etc. Instruments such as trio lines, horizontal whistles, drums and Erhu.

It is a chemical, or a weapon such as armor, magic props and other actual supplies in swords. Alcohol, crop seeds, etc. … There is a wide variety of objects brought back by the Helianthus. The ship is quite loaded and seems to have carried a good amount of goods both outbound and back.

"Congratulations on your route."

"Welcome home. Welcome to Termwilds."

and Princess Yura and Lynn smile and say to the sailors. The sailors had also spoiled Yura's welcome words.

That's how I get confirmation through my eyes on the inventory of what I brought back when I finished unloading a whole street of luggage as well.

Miriam also seems to be checking with the sailors and taking notes on what items she brought home to give information to her fellow merchants.

"Whoa......! This is good stuff! Looks like we have a range of first-class products on the boulder... Ahhh! This is exquisite again...! Ugh! I regret not selling these items directly myself!

and Miriam, who, while taking notes, still shines her eyes and shows her merchant possession.

"Oh. If it's that liaison doll, it's what I made before. Oh, I miss you."

"Mr. Komachi took this......!? So rational and exquisite......!

Even though the sailors smile when they see such an upbeat exchange between Miriam and Comati. It seems that the communication doll made by Komachi does not use magic as a power, such as demon stone, but can carry tea to the customer. Comati is highly skilled in boulders.

"You're shaping plant designs with gold and silver leaves. It's beautiful."

"It's an instrument, but it also has aspects as a work of art."

and is Princess Adriana and Stephania who look at the three sides and smile and say it that way.

"Oh. I heard from Master Dolores that this is the float pod. From offshore, but we could see it flying."

Meanwhile, the captain said, looking at the float pods stamped with the Forestanian border public house and the Verdogal royal crest.

"Yeah. Oddly enough, you're out of the sky, just like when I picked you up at Hitaca."

"I hear you made everything for your wives. Congratulations again."

When I say it, the captain gives me a good laugh with words of blessing like that. I say, "Thank you." I have received words of celebration over the video, but I guess it was also a talking gesture to connect from the pod to the blessing. I mean, I don't think that's what the common understanding about float pods is going on around me. Well... I actually do, and Grace and the others are smiling at me, so let's do it.
