Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The groundwaterways of the demonic realm and the parts without streams - are clearly divided because the components of the sea water are different. When you want to travel, you can take the currents that look different in color, and when you want to get down, you just need to stay away from the currents a little bit.

Every part of the underground waterway is equipped like a station. The various areas and waterways are joined together. From the horizontal hole that hits upstream, sea water of different components and temperatures is flowing into the station, and the water flow is downstream - connecting to the waterways connected to various locations and flowing downstream.

It circulates water flow small by small area, creates a large circulation throughout the groundwater vein, and by means of engraving ceremonies and demonic stones, it maintains the environment so that water flow does not lag or mix with sea water of different components.

The holes that connect to each location also have plates indicating where to go.

Structure and purpose, from my point of view, seem like a subway. Sounds pretty mixed up, actually.

The fact that detour can be used to cope with the current situation is probably due to its rather complex structure. However, there seems to be some places out there where you have to swim back and forth through the upper levels of the waterway without getting on the stream. The samurai officers in the groundwater, who are carrying Queen Celia and the others on their backs, told us what was going on, saying that there had already been a lot of inconvenience.

When you plug into the station, the inhabitants of the underground waters salute the demon kings. It seems that the demon kings are already moving widely.

The figure of the Laccos protected by the Shrimples. Cave, Otter's family is going too far down the waterway. "Demon King -!" to Queen Celia. "Please be careful!" "Good luck!" He speaks to me. Queen Celia smiles and waves to respond.

"Those are non-combatants... those caught up in a battle with a small, intrusive demon and forced to wait at the station."

Queen Meggiastra tells us about the earlier Cave Otters.

"Oh, that kind of support - you're in the mood as a demon king. There are injuries to non-combatants."

"Right. Fortunately, no serious injuries or deaths have been reported so far."

An Shrimple martial officer answers.

Is it because I got cheer from the kids? Queen Celia, who nodded at the story, had a serious look on her face and looked like she was preparing a magic stream for the battle. So logistics isn't the only effect of a broken part of the outer shell.

Proceed through the rapids - eventually the line comes to the front of the lateral hole of interest, moving upstream by swimming over the top of the waterway, away from the water flow part that flows beneath the body.

It slows down more than it does when you're on a stream on a boulder... but it's still the speed at which the aquatic species swim. Not to mention the martial arts officer. Sometimes I work out my body from time to time, and I go back upstream down the waterway with a lot of momentum.

Eventually - a line reaches the space for the maintenance of the outer shell. Similar to stations everywhere... there were martial officers waiting, and supplies were gathered, and small demons were piled up that were defeated... it had a medium atmosphere. The martial officers are also fully armed and nervous about their expressions.

"Frontline base, so..."

Rosemary sees it and says:

"Right. If you exit this place through the waterway for maintenance, you will arrive at the scene."

Queen Meggiastra taught me. That's why everyone's on guard at the end of the waterway.

The martial arts officers who had carried the line so far had taken pills from the fangonoids to recover their health and swallowed them.

The taste - it didn't suit my mouth, but it made my eyes black and white.

The waterway flow has been blocked in the wake of the incident, so it seems that no particular attention should be paid to going back upstream from here.

The waterway itself is considered to be quite spacious as well, such as material loading. If the flow is stopped, the Fangonoids will be able to set up in the waterway to support Queen Celia and Meghiastra, and they will be able to escort such Fangonoids.

Queen Celia arrived at the frontline base to inform the martial officers on the spot of the operation. Instructions were given and a backpacking system was in place.

Then, the fangonoids say hello, too. We said there was a way to do something about the imminent danger. If the operation failed, they told us to prioritize ensuring their own safety… Yes, the Fangonoids had told the martial officers as well.

"We don't have to treat ourselves differently than to have ourselves deposited in an operation we set up and be here at our will. As friends of His Majesty Celia and Lord Meggiastra... and with you, we hope to be friends side by side."

"I want to be a shoulder-to-shoulder comrade… what we want"

"The wise men are the ones who are helping us with the scalpel by righteousness. I'll let you touch one finger."

"It's a form of direct combat support to hear what the operation is all about… I want to show you my pride as a martial officer guarding the waterway."

The martial officers respond to the words of the fangonoids, and Queen Celia nods quietly at the exchange.

"There's no problem with connections and trust. I'm - blessed with good friends and martial arts officers. Perform your duty as demon king and protect everyone. I need your help with that."

In response to Queen Celia's words, the martial officers seemed to be saluting and reinvigorating. As such, a further line continues onto the waterway leading to the site. Knights leader in the lead. It follows the order of Queen Celia, Meggiastra, and the martial officers who defend themselves to the Fangonoids.

"Let me show you the scene first. If you look at the situation and the person in detail, you'll need to fix the details and adjust to the situation."

"Right. Even if the basic flow is not changed, such adjustments will be important."

Meggiastra also agrees with the fangonoids.

The look on Queen Celia's face becomes more rugged as she goes along with her various assumptions about the operation and the proposed adjustments in that case.

"This... this magic wavelength is probably not working. Though I was hoping that the out-of-the-box story would come through..."

"It's an atmosphere of magic common to people who don't make sense."

To the words of Queen Celia, Meggiastra also said: I guess I felt the magic of a marine demon. There also appears to be an increased sense of face-to-face tension accompanying the two conversations.

- Eventually we arrive at the scene. There, it also looks like a fairly open cavity.

Gaps are provided so that the outer shell can be reinforced or repaired. The gap is hollow. The inner walls, by the way, have holes, connecting waterways from various places. The destruction of the outer shell seemed to have occurred on a considerable scale, with holes of considerable magnitude.

There's crashed debris down there. Some waterways seem to be blocked by that. That's the aqueduct section above the inner wall where the line turned up.

Since the outer shell is made capable of reinforcement and maintenance from the inside, there are numerous connecting passages… I guess the place where Queen Celia and the others showed their faces is judged the most suitable for waiting and raiding.

And below the cavity. So that I could lay my body on the accumulated rubble - I could see a fairly large demon forming.

... that's medium, huh? Although the sea demons are fine to magnify, nevertheless the magnitude would be a level where Rungard would be said to be a fairly large demon. Although it does not extend to Behemoth in boulders.

Looks like - sea habitat reptiles, dinosaurs and all that. White body. Streamlined silhouette. Head like a crocodile but nowhere to be seen. There are sharp fangs lined up on the edge of a large ripped mouth, and it can be seen that its edibility is carnivorous.

Fins on the limbs, but they look sharp.

Long tail. There is a series of sharp protrusions, like the scales have changed... I have the impression that that would be a means of attack as well.

Now I can't move at the bottom of the cavity......

"You look like you're sitting here because you can follow a small demon for dietary purposes and hide yourself from a large demon as it is. Demons of the same size will come in, and if they get busted inside, they could have an effect on the inside wall."

The martial officers who were in charge of the surveillance explain the situation.

"I see...... I wonder if the outer shell is damaged. You think you can handle it?

Queen Celia asks, the fangonoids seem to have been looking around for a while, but eventually nod.

"You don't have a problem. It seems that ritual magic in this number of people can handle it."

"Okay, let's do the details, and we'll start the operation."

To Queen Celia's words, a line nodded together to put her temper back on.
