Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"I want you to look at her and ask her for her opinion as a magician,"

"Okay. Though I said her...... is it okay to understand that she's in the tower?

"... oh"

Xandrius is taking my word for it, while still showing a little bit of imagination. Don't even look like you're still wondering if we're going to make out. Then we should be clear about that area.

"Well, why don't you take me inside, and then we'll make a promise that we won't do anything to hurt each other, including that person?

"... ok. There are a lot of things you won't know unless you actually look at them."

Emphasis is placed on promises and covenants, as are the spirits and the people of the moon, but are also seen as properties by demons who retain the same nature. So... it's important that we keep our promises. Connect with each other in peace and security.

Do you want to explain the contract magic? It would be reassuring to explain what cannot be done with contract magic and make the terms clear.

I will combine contract magic with content that conveys lies when I try to contravene the terms I have just presented.

Demonstrating contract magic is also temporary for a limited time, so if I violate the contract, I will not be able to exercise magic temporarily, and if Zandrius and the others violate, I will not be able to manipulate my chi.

"By accepting each other's terms, contract magic is exchanged."

"Okay. I've heard about contract magic."

First, we can exchange contract magic with Xandrius, then we can combine the faces that accompany us and the faces in the facility, and then we can exchange contract magic with each other. Because if you're going to make a fool of yourself, you won't be able to exercise magic, so you won't be able to use contract magic itself at that point, and if you do, I'm the one out front who's at risk.

Taking confirmation of the area, Xandrius nodded, sticking his face through the main gate and seemed to be interacting to attach the understanding of his companions.

"Does that make you safer?

"Normally you won't have a chance to fight and win. With all those Awakening Demons, it's suspicious that they could escape properly. I think that's the only condition we can get."

The boys, the girls seemed to have a little idea for Xandrius' words, but nodded pale. So let's start with me and Xandrius making a contract magic first.

"Let's introduce ourselves again. Theodor-Wilcloud-Gartener-Forestania."

"It's Xandrius."

We name each other names and put out our hands to shake hands. Xandrius tilted his neck a little strangely even when he was offered his hand, but eventually he nodded and responded to the handshake as if he was convinced that he would shake hands in these situations.

Then expand the Magic Circle. I just checked the terms one by one to make sure there was no mistake, and I make a contract magic with Xandrius.

Then, we engage the accompanying faces and those in the facility, introduce ourselves to each other, and then make a contract magic.

That's how the whole contract magic ends. Everyone in the communications room seemed relieved, starting with Esnatura.

"I don't need to show that I'm an Awakening Demon, and I don't think it's okay to unravel my transformation anymore."

"I'm relieved there's nothing like a battle."

Esnatura solves the transformation while saying so according to my words.

"Thanks again"

"Welcome."

When the Tesdiros and the others unraveled their transformations and greeted them, Xandrius was also responding by shaking hands with the Tesdiros and the others. The other kids shake hands with me and everyone else by imitating it.

The contract magic and greetings are over. Ask them to lead you inside the surveillance facility. If you go upstairs and let them through to one of the rooms, there's a crystallized figure there who saw footage from the Explorer.

"Crystallization, or..."

"Oh, I've heard that petrification can be cured, so I was wondering if that method would work."

Xandrius answers my words.

Right. There are procedures for treating petrification. Cause - Depending on the petrification procedure, mainly petrification using cocatrice and basilisk, if it is not crushed after undergoing petrification, it is fine.

In the demonic world, there was something called late poisoning of basilisk as a disease specific to the Diabolos tribe, but that was a slightly special category, even if it bears the name of basilisk... which was somewhat close to a problem related to the magical qualities of a good healer.

If you look at the person who translated and crystallized...... what is this called...

"Vital response sensing - can. I don't think he's dead yet anyway."

Weakened, but capable of sensing life reactions. This would be a similar reaction when we received petrification.

"Really?"

I don't know if he's conscious, but Xandrius had a slightly soothing reaction.

If there is still a life response, I think there is a potential for treatment. It's just... something like a crystal spear piercing your abdomen.

This is also still "alive". Not as life, but as strange magic reactions still exist. Should it be seen that the ability to crystallize has not become inactive?

or whether I should get rid of this. It is also still unknown.

Sometimes a circumstantial interference can make the situation worse, and if you don't make sure you're ready for treatment when you uncrystallize it, you'll undo it with a hole in your belly. Sometimes it would be more desirable to remove them cleanly after they have been de-crystallized for the sake of integration.

"Sure," Xandrius nodded when he gave those explanations.

"As a matter of policy...... it is better not to mix it with body magic even if we proceed with the analysis with circulating smell. The virtual circulation smell will be performed to analyze the information obtained from it. Perhaps a combination of sealing for when this spear part reacts is also necessary. But I want to hear who this person is and how this happened before I go about it. If you have information, your policy will change."

Xandrius nodded at my words and told me the story.

"It would be easier to understand if we followed the order. She is a demon whose family left behind to protect the young who could not yet fight satisfactorily. His name is Ludovia."

Young people. Sounds like aging has nothing to do with demon combatants. Good examples include Gardinis, Zaradi, and Osgrave.

Anyway, it seems that Ludovia was only left to be away and an armed demon. He also seemed to have the character to be just appropriate for the deduction and to be taken from his family.

Either way, we had to eat, so it was planned to train Xandrius and the others left in the process, and he also hunted demons around Ludovia.

"Neither was the place to hunt demons when it came to them"

He said it was a battlefield trail.

"You sure did. It used the fort on the spot as a base for action."

It is Xandrius who snorts at Zascal's words. Battlefield trail, huh? Bellion Dora was invaded later and earlier by the demons, so it seems possible to identify the location.

"I was hunting demons there... but at one point I was attacked by someone. Ludovia got involved and missed us, but he got that blow when he tried to protect us. I managed to retreat with Ludovia, but when I ran away, it was like that."

I see.

"Attack...? To whom the hell is that?

Asked, Xandrius puts his hand on his chin to circle the idea.

"I don't know. I don't think he's a demon because he wasn't angry."

"It was shaped close to people... were those people?

Zaskal tilts his neck.

"... If Theodore is a person, that one feels different. It's just... when I was in contract magic earlier, the magic I felt was outrageous. Compared to the rest of my family, it's not normal, but is that a person?

"No...... I'm the same as the demons if I follow my ancestors in the genealogy of the people of the moon, so I wonder if it would be helpful to compare..."

Xandrius and the others nodded as they were convinced.

No...... yeah. Although it can actually lead to awakening as the genealogy of the people of the Moon, and Xandrius and the others can't say anything because they don't know what to compare about people.

When it comes to signs and appearances, it doesn't feel like he's a person or a demon, or just a demon.

Anyway, did Xandrius and the others not know who the crystallized presence was?
