"Speaking of which, what were you doing while you were away from the House of Lords? Were you going somewhere, Mr. Alphonse?

"No, I've been in the Mansion, Cecilie."

"To the mansion? Surely Alphonse is staying at Lord Charles' residence? But you haven't been in the Mansion forever, have you?

"It wasn't in the building. I've been training in swordsmanship in the Mansion's garden."

A room in the school building of the House of Lords.

So I was having tea with two noble ladies, Elizabeth and Cecilie.

In the meantime, I'll ask Cecilie what happened while she was resting.

Don't bother asking me again.

Having said that, I realized that I had been studying and training in swordsmanship for a long time and had barely left the premises of the Mansion.

I didn't really care because the mansion was spacious, but when I just heard this, I thought it was like a drag.

But when they heard what I had to say, something else came to mind. [M]

"You've been training for the sword? Maybe you're going into the labyrinth?

"After all, don't you care what Cremant told you? If you enter the labyrinth and train, you can grow your strength, so all the students want to take the initiative."

"I'm sure you are, Elizabeth. Damn it. We need to be careful with the Clemens. Alphonse told me not to bother you."

"... the labyrinth?

"Is that it? Was it different? After all, we thought Alphonse wanted to enter the labyrinth and strengthen you."

"Well, I'd like to be strong, but what's a labyrinth in the first place?

"Maybe you don't know? Well, isn't it strange that you don't know? Alphonse is from a foreign country, isn't he? Okay, then, let me tell you what this Cecilie-san is going to tell you."

Cecilie started explaining things like that, realizing that I didn't understand them properly. [M]

It was about the labyrinth in Brilliant Magic Country.

According to Cecilie, there is a place called the Labyrinth in Brilliant Magic Land.

And the labyrinth is controlled by the royal family.

It seems that restrictions have been placed on people not to let them in.

There is a labyrinth called the labyrinth nucleus, which increases the magic concentration inside the labyrinth.

Therefore, it seems that magic stones can usually be removed inside the labyrinth.

But the labyrinth you were talking about here is not used to take magic stones.

They say the labyrinth is being used to train nobles and knights.

This Brilliant Magic Land is different from the United Kingdom of Fontana, where I come from.

One of them had a way of thinking about marriage.

In the United Kingdom of Fontana, there are basically no rules when it comes to choosing who to marry.

As long as the two families who wish to marry agree, the marriage will be concluded by performing the inheritance rites in the church.

But not in this Brilliant Magic Land.

Because there was no mechanism of inheritance, it seemed to have been an entirely different idea.

It seems that it is desirable for married men and women to have as much magic as possible.

In the east, it has long been known that by marrying people with high magic amounts and giving birth to children, the magic amount of their descendants is naturally high.

Conversely, if either male or female has an extremely low amount of magic, the child is more likely to have a low amount of magic.

So it seems that if there is a difference in the amount of magic so that as many children as possible, marriage is not allowed.

However, even if they are attracted to each other, they are often unable to marry.

Moreover, even if people with high magic amounts married each other, they did not always have children with high magic amounts.

When that happens, you get married to a limited number of people in your home.

It was pointed out that there was also a problem that the blood became too thick.

Therefore, the labyrinth was used as a countermeasure.

A royal labyrinth.

There is a labyrinth nucleus, and the magic concentration is high.

After training in the labyrinth, it was found that even those born with a low amount of magic increased the amount of magic to some extent.

I think maybe my body absorbs the magic around me when I'm training.

In this way, the use of the labyrinth as a training ground allowed marriage to expand, and the Brillian Magic Nation succeeded in obtaining a mechanism to continue to produce powerful nobles and knights.

But it seems that not everyone enters the labyrinth.

They must be only permitted by the royal family.

Otherwise, someone stronger might go to another country.

In addition to marriage stories, training in this labyrinth has great significance for aristocrats and knights.

It meant that there was a monster in the back of the labyrinth, and if we could defeat that monster, we would be able to prove our strength.

And those with the ability to defeat certain monsters are allowed to play important roles such as the Kintetsu Knight.

In other words, there is a unique opportunity to be born in Brilliant Magic Country in the Labyrinth.

The Baron and children under the third son of the Vicomte often want to dive into the labyrinth and gain strength, considering the possibility of not succeeding their parents.

"... I mean, if you defeat monsters in the labyrinth, you'll recognize my power."

Sounds interesting.

After completing the approximate explanation, I think so as I look at Cecilie with her chest full.

I've heard that there's a labyrinth in the United Kingdom of Fontana, but it feels a little different.

I am also concerned about monsters lurking in the labyrinth.

Can I get into that labyrinth, too?

My heart was drawn to the labyrinth after hearing the two of them. [M]
