"You think it was the spider and the human chimera that was in the Sixth Labyrinth?

"Oh. My heart was human and rational, and I could have a conversation. But... he wanted to die. I've been trapped in the labyrinth for hundreds of years looking like a spider... and I killed him"

"... well. I'm not used to killing people either. I feel this hand stained with blood all the time. But I didn't expect you to slaughter people with that youthfulness... you were ready to do it too"

"Oh... right. But Rafe has experience, too?

"I'm killing more demons than you, and people are. When I was in the Knights and the Mercenaries, I was intoxicated by the sense of justice and slaughtered the bad guys."

"Right..."

We've been walking in the woods since then, bouncing east with a stone of transition. And it's really amazing what a substitute can fly to the eastern continent. You need to cross the sea by boat to get to the eastern continent. It will also take hours, and days if we want to go normally from the Igal Republic to this forest. I really deplore the fact that an alchemist named Marie is out of standard if that's all it takes in a flash.

And we were talking about the Sixth Labyrinth on the road. By the way, Fee is freaking out by the bugs in the woods and grabbing my hand all the time.

"... I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid."

"Ha ha, the Phee one is good for it"

"Shut up, Rayhoo! Hey, shut up! Because I'm really scared!

"What does the one who stepped through the Sixth Labyrinth say to the extent of the worm"

"You're rejecting me on a genetic level, so I can't do anything I can't!!

The two start quarreling with Gaya somehow, but well, that would be good too. I can't help it if it's too gloomy. I decided to move on with that. Then you can't be dragging it forever. I'm sure the same thing is waiting for us ahead......

"And where are we now?

That's what Rafe says, so I spread out the map Rafe brought. And I'll discuss it with Phee, and we'll locate it.

"... because this is where I was earlier"

"Right. I think so..."

"Is the scale crazy, or is it already in the perception inhibition..."

"Yep. That's crazy."

Me and Fee concluded that something was wrong with this place. That's exactly what Rafe told me. Something is wrong with this forest. It should be going straight, but when I realize it, I'm back in the same place. To the left if you think you went to the right, and vice versa. I don't know now if my sense of direction is crazy or if I'm being shown hallucinations... but I was pretty sure Marie Blanc was doing something to this forest.

"... I've resisted recognition inhibition many times, but I didn't expect to get so lost..."

"Explore in the Absolute Realm Sanctuary"

I activate the absolute realm Sanctuary. Then I noticed that the placement of the first material Prima Materia was messed up. The arrangement of the first material, Prima Materia, is normally arranged evenly. Using alchemy won't disturb you this far. In other words, this space still seems to be intentionally twisted.

But my absolute realm, Sanctuary, reveals the world. I'm still incomplete in the battle at the Sixth Labyrinth, but I was able to feel the zero mass Acacial Materia as well. For that reason, it is not a creation to expose alchemy to me now.

And keep your eyes closed and concentrated. Wash out where this phenomenon is causing it. Then...... a few kilometers north than here. That was where the starting point was, and the disturbance of the first material, Prima Materia, had begun. From there the area ahead is normal. In other words, the little house there is the starting point.

"Found... 3 km north of here. There's a little house there."

"... how's the look, El?

"... it has a chimney, and it has" twisted "and plants involved. The colour of the house is old brown...... right"

"It's Dompisha. That's Marie's house."

At the same time Rafe said that, he heard a loud voice coming from the woods.

"Fu haha!!! Breaking through my perception inhibition is a boulder, a Blue Stella alchemist!! Give him a compliment! Ha ha ha!!

The voice was from above. And it slowly approached me... and I saw it.

Yes, a little girl is flying in here, hanging over Tarzan's face.

Yeah. What is that...?

"Marie Blanc! Guess what!!

Landing cool. As it doesn't matter how it appears, this little girl is Marie Blanc? In reddish semi-long hair, a large black robe that is coming to hide its body. Same age as Reese from the looks of it, or less. But... is this really Marie Blanc? A little girl like this even with a genius alchemist? What am I talking about, young man? Too young. Hard to think of as a contributor to smelting stones of metastasis or treading the Third Labyrinth at this young age.

"Marie, you're as good as ever."

"Ooh... isn't that Rafe's kid? So, what are you doing here? Bring the guests."

"Introduce. Alsfira Medice to Elweed Willis."

"Hi, I'm Elweed Willis. Call me El."

"I'm Alsfira Medice. Call me Phee."

Somehow I use respect, but as far as hearing Rafe and Marie converse...... no way......?

"Hmm. I am Marie Blanc, the genius alchemist of the century! Feel free, call me Marie or Marie!! So... I don't know about Phee, Elle... I know about you."

"Oh, really? That's different, but you're so young."

"Hmm? I'm 45 this year, though?

"" What?

Me and Fee will be pokans. This little girl is 45? Impossible. How the hell can I keep this look all the time?

"Oh... I don't think we're talking about the Rafe one. My childhood experiment failed to produce aging in my body. That's all."

"... What is the failure of the experiment, even if I ask you in detail?

"I was so hungry back then. So if you try to smell any food..."

"What if...?

"Here's what happened."

"" What?

Me and Fee get hammered again. Failure to smell food, makes you immortal? Hard to believe in Russia, but it doesn't even seem like you're lying.

"You're hitting him, aren't you? I thought they were teasing me when I first heard it too... but this guy is serious. Seriously, it's him, so I could swallow the truth. This guy... it's possible."

"The Rafe one is as rude as ever."

"How is he and his weird tone always the same?

"Well. I can't change my whole life! hahaha!!

High alchemists have a lot of freaks. I don't even want to admit it myself, but maybe that word is right, including mine.

"Hmm... Lord, you got the contents?

"... do you understand?

"Even if I could tell. Who do you think I am? That's Marie Blanc, the genius alchemist! Besides, I have the same ability as you. Because the code can be grasped by the senses in the first material, PrimaMateria."

"You also know about the code..."

"Of course. But... I heard rumors that there were alchemists on par with me or better... than I expected. It's not sane to rewrite your code. Even I hesitate. It is a contraindication that leads man outside the reason of the world. Is it right that alchemists should not reach the realm, or the realm they cannot reach? Elweed Willis, your lord isn't really an amazing one."

"I didn't know you knew that much... Marie is amazing... I'm really surprised"

"Ranri! Ranari! Ranari! I am the one who reveals the truth about the world, Marie Blanc! Well, I was wondering if we could have tea at my house. Anyway, Rafe's here, and we're talking about the labyrinth, right? Follow me."

That's how Marie goes and goes without hesitation.

Genius in genius for sure. The non-standard alchemist seems certain.

And we followed Marie.
