Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"I have a plan for the library."

"Mmm. Then I wonder if this is the place to be…"

"That's good."

and discuss with everyone to think of a scheme to interact in the library and kitchen. Stefania likes this kind of trick for her sake, so she seems to have a lot of fun thinking about it. Rosemary hides her mouth with a feather fan to such a Stephania appearance and shakes her shoulders with pleasure. Mallane was smiling with pleasure as well.

"Mm-hmm. Funny."

"Besides, this doesn't mean the trick will work by mistake."

"Normally, it's a behavior you'd never do."

Sheila says, Illumhilt and Yui laugh and answer. We drink tea, eat baked sweets and we all think about the trick.

The scheme was generally decided, and the data in the castle was actually taken and the modification was transferred to execution. Even when it comes to the modification of a castle, it goes with a control device in the heavenly sanctuary, so it doesn't do magical architecture.

Expand the 3D diagram to operate the relevant location.

"What do you think?

"There's something close to the nucleus of the labyrinth. It's going to work fine."

"That would have been nice."

Claudia smiles in my response. First of all, we need new space, so we're going to build a hidden door in the kitchen's food pantry.

Reduce the area of the food vault just a little and prepare a hidden passage that leads to the basement for that matter. Considering that I accidentally got in by some mistake, I'm going to build an inner door just down the aisle. Put a lock on it and connect it with the art of purification.

Anyone who needs help inside should contact the castle owner for permission. It would be reassuring to attach a plate to the inner door and engrave wording to report what you have found even if you have discovered it by mistake.

Of course, this wording is part of contract magic. In case of malicious intrusion, the arrow spell is activated.

And... make room for a sealed warehouse behind the inner door, so...

As for the sealed warehouse, it's really only a use for storing Gardinis' legacy at the moment, but it's going to be able to secure space there, so it can be used when you want to hide something else that the world can't put out.

Endewills is currently deserted. Although it is treated as part of a defense compartment in the central area… it is desirable to store and structure items that have no effect on food, given that they are also used for folding. Let's assume that when faced with a situation where it's poison or something like that, you really have to seal those things up, we'll think of another means.

Now, that's how a modification is made to a portion of the actual castle if the control device is manipulated to tentatively determine structural changes as an instruction. There are safety devices so there are warnings of where people are, but there are no problems with Endewills.

It is reassuring to see if there is a mistake in the order when trying to make it execute, and even to inspect that there are no life forms or magical creatures. I guess even if people are there, they can change their structure because they assume various situations as a defensive base.

"... All right. This should change the structure of the castle."

"Hehe, I look forward to being able to do it"

Vinckle rang his throat as Grace laughed a little and Oogie snorted too.

"I don't think it's going to take that long, and I'll go after the processing"

"That's good."

And Stephania is also in a good mood.

Eventually, the controller also told me that the processing was completed successfully, projecting a letter of light into the air. Hmm.

Then let's move to the scene with everyone. Take the pumice elevator and move to the middle layer of the castle. From there, move through the corridor to the floor with the kitchen and library.

Let's start with the library. We need an operation to open the hidden passage. Endewills' library is like a library.

"The collection here has a strong personality to keep me from getting bored, doesn't it? It's a story, a fairy tale, a poem... There are also military, technical and magic books in political science so that we can respond by gaining knowledge here each time if we have trouble… there is nothing too dangerous."

Claudia told me that way about the library books.

They store books such as those originally used as data on the moon and those generated by the collection of information on labyrinth functions. And the lineup of Forestania's library. Well, there's something in common with this place. They don't put anything dangerous there either.

"I'm counting on that favor, too."

And Rosemary nods. Because of its weight, it is Rosemary, who has taken to the library of Forestania to read various collections.

Now, for the key trick, temporarily replace certain books in this library.

Take a collection book with an acronym for the key and an acronym for the door. You can take that to the bookcase where the cooking stuff is put together and replace it with the bottom part of the bookcase.

Well...... that's an action I would never do if I didn't know. In the unlikely event that a hidden door opens just by chance, it is the kitchen's food pantry, and if the conditions are met by contract magic, the trick is in motion, so no magic wires, etc. are planted, and no change is noticed.

Not so much of a problem with the fact that the book is temporarily in an incorrect location. Sometimes there is less opportunity to enter the sealed warehouse itself, and if the secretary manages it, the location of the books will be restored. It's okay because it's deserted now, but it might be a good idea to be a magical creature's secretary, like a libra, in order not to be suspicious.

"I'm excited to activate a trick like this..."

Stefania is in a good mood. Mallane, Yui, Riveira and other faces were sneering.

"It's also convenient to take to the kitchen that cooking books are pulled out instead. I was wondering if it would be suspicious to be witnessed to some extent."

And, Elena giggles.

"Mm-hmm. I don't get rid of the book properly, you might think."

"Indeed."

I have Gardinis' legacy with me laughing as I talk about it, and now I head to the kitchen. As for the food pantry, it is quite spacious because it belongs to the castle. Since it is not used now, there is no food set aside and it is idle.

The hidden door... is the corner of the food bank. It is difficult to explore the position with a magical reaction, a combination of magical and mechanical, that becomes operative by contractual magic. The switch that opens the concealed door is near the ceiling. Wherever groceries are placed, it is easy to push the switch.

When the mechanical switch was pressed, part of the wall opened towards the back and a staircase appeared leading downstairs. Think about the loading, it's a spacious staircase there. As I carry the box to the bottom, I see the door as I saw it earlier on the controller. The door keys… are formed so that they can be hung in a chain from the door knob.

It's a silver key of the same color as the warning plate. I wonder if I will keep this key in the treasure trove in Forestania.

Then open the door.

"Yeah, I'll allow you as head of the castle."

Claudia gave me permission to smile. There's also an arrow spell, and the person who made it open the door has to do it.

That's why I take the key and plug it into the keyhole. That's how when I put my hand on the door knob, nothing opened the door to the sealed warehouse. I don't really envisage people coming, so I don't have the decoration in the warehouse. Maybe we should keep an inventory and a description of this place for future generations.

Put the goods you brought at the edge of the warehouse and you're done. Now... you can rest assured of what Gardinis left behind.
