The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

... everything went on, and then...

As a matter of fact, I'm a little out of magic.

I was building a crack, a cage, a hot spring... when I was doing that, I was a little sleepy, and I slept with no magic. That said, it was about a day old.

It's just...

"Um, it's time to let me go...."

... the dragon won't let me go.

"That dragon, Corn, you really liked your outfit."

Yeah. The dragon seemed to like my outfit... I wore a kimono when I was setting up the hot spring, and I drew it out in the sky, and it ran out of magic. I've been caught by the dragon ever since. It's already the third day...

"Ah, no, no! Hey!"

Moreover, the dragon plays with his stomach a little. I'm not filling it up all at once these days, but I'm filling it up with tingling, and I'm reducing tingling.... really mean!

"... what do you always do to dragons?

Laocles is wondering, but I don't want to explain! It's like this!

"Well, the dragon was very active this time. Until today, I want you to stay with him."

Yeah.... I have no choice but to endure it until today. Thank you so much...

Ah, but don't bully me...

Then I got a little permission from the dragon to leave the crystal island, but as I got caught up in the dragon, I heard everyone's status report by the lake.

"You know, fairy, I also decided to sell my thigh cake. Yes, I'm familiar. Here you go."

"Thank you... yeah. Delicious."

Apparently, the fairy confectionery shop is back alive again. The fairies also made a new one, and Ange brought the cake to Taste. Yeah, it's very sweet, it's fluffy, but it's not crisp, it's moist, but it's not sticky, and it's delicious.

"Maybe it's time to try the cafe. Yes, tea"

Lila poured out the tea she had brought into the water bottle as she poured it. It's a relishing taste.

We'll relax with tea and cake for a while.... the dragon had a slightly squeamish face, so I took a bite of the cake. She looked satisfied. I see. Do you like cake...

The fairy confectionery shop is doing well, he said. I was relieved to hear that. The hardest thing this time was the confectionery shop... I'm glad the confectionery shop is back alive again.

But... it didn't seem like it was going to work.

"The royal family doesn't protect the Marpink family at all. Hmm, I thought there was definitely something behind it."

"I see. Well, isn't that a lizard's tail? If Mark Pink failed, he would have cut it off."

... perhaps the royal people were involved, and the royal people didn't move anything. The point is, Mr. Marpink was tried without special protection, and nothing was done by the royal family in particular.

"Well, I guess.... but the mirrors seized from Marpink were unknown to the Marpink magicians. Someone must have given Marpink magic."

However, doubts remain.

... a mirror. The one Mr. Marpink had. Perhaps to increase the power of temptation.

Mr. Marpink said he received this from your magician, but when I asked the magician, he said he didn't know anything.

That means that Mr. Marpink was lying at that point.... mmm.

"Now that he can't tell a lie, I think I can ask him again."

"I see. Maybe that's how we should be clear about who we're dealing with. It's just... um, did the Royal Family really help the Marpinks this time? I still have a lot of questions....."

Mr Crowe began to have a little trouble.... yeah. I'm a little surprised, too. I thought this world's royal family might be like that, but it's kind of... hmm.

"I don't know... is the royal family stupid?

Lian just said it! I tried not to tell anyone!

"... if the royal family were to do this guide, it would certainly be quite stupid. There's got to be a way to be smarter."

"I don't know. For example, can we get involved more actively? The forest is in the Redgard Territory, and the Redgard Territory follows the King's instructions at first... well, if it's a terrible and tyrannical way to do it, I'll appropriately convict the Redgard Territory and send them out in the name of crusade, sanctions, and so on."

I wonder if it was possible to do such a massive thing... I see... Should we strengthen the Knights?

"So, just give Marpink the mirror. Yes, it's over, it's not too halfway there...."

"... I see."

Somehow, yes, it's a little strange.

If the royal people are involved this time, it's like handing over the mirror. And perhaps, the good offices of the personnel? Um, well, about that.

So... if the Royals are involved, there must be a better way to do it. So, this one is a little strange.

"... well, no. Should I contact Mark Pink directly from my father? I got a mysterious letter from the woods asking me about the mirror, do you know anything about it?" or something like that. "

"Doesn't that bother Faye's father a lot?

"Ah, that's okay. Dad, I love lying with my hands."

Oh, I like it. I see... Well, there are people like that. Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you.

"So, you're going to build a wall after this, right?

"Yeah."

The walls will be built as originally planned. I have already discussed the construction of the Wall with House Redgard. Faye's father also said, "It's originally nothing. One or two more walls won't be a problem. Please use it effectively. It is said that I am glad that it will develop in the future." Thank you so much!

"As originally planned, the entrance and exit to the wall should be able to be built in 12 places, but the first four places to build are... inconvenient, so I'm going to make it 12 places."

"Well, in the future, the village of the woods may become a major transportation hub. At that time, we'll need about 12 entrances and exits... and about six entrances to King's Landing."

"Look, the woods are bigger just by the area...."

"Ah, that's right...."

This forest is huge. That's why the immediate family of the surrounding village is huge. There is a forest in the center like a donut hole, so the area is not that big.

... and if you build walls around the village again, the diameter will grow again... and you'll need a lot of entrances and exits. Mm-hmm.

That's how I discussed the fine design again... and drew the wall.

When I said no to the dragon, I drew a wall, and I got an approval with a face like, "I'll lose my magic again anyway."... uhh.

I ride a dragon out into the air and draw a wall there. [M] To protect the forest village, circle around. Not that high a wall. Exquisite, about 10 meters tall wall.... if you increase the area too much, you're going to fall again for an incredible number of days.

There are 12 entrances and exits with those walls up. But now the gate is closed. You can open only what you need when you need it, or close it when you need it.

I think this will make the forest much harder to be attacked. It seems that there are rumors about Mr. Markpink everywhere, and it seems to be a deterrent.

Anyway, I got out of that wall, and I'm completely satisfied... I'm out of magic!

"... you know, should I still be here?

And I'm also under house arrest on a crystal island like a dragon holding me.... I wonder why this happens.

... well, it can't be helped. It's still summer, and it's not that bad to spend time by the water here. Mm-hmm.

"... for a moment, I really looked like a spirit."

"Come quick, what happened...."

Faye, who came to us like that, looked at me and looked at me like she couldn't say anything.

"You really look like a spirit when you're dressed like that."

"I see...."

... what I'm wearing right now is a yukata dyed in blue in white. And an indigo band. The fluffy one. It's a little hot today, so I thought it would be all right, and I was wearing this, soaking my feet in the water at the tip of the island, and drawing a picture with the body of a dragon on my back.

I'll leave my sketchbook and go to Fai.... the dragon sucked on the belt and stopped it, but let it go, the phoenix grabbed it, outside the island, by the lake.

"What's wrong? Something wrong?

"No, I'm surprised the walls are growing again."

Yeah, I'm sorry.... ah, but it's probably okay because I'm going to tell people in the village, "Maybe there's something like a wall coming up again, but I'm sure it's okay, so don't worry."

"So, for now, we're investigating, so we're only opening the gates in four places. We're on schedule."

"Yeah."

Twelve, the entrance is built, but if we don't open the gate, it's all like a wall. For now, there are only four places to open: east, west, north and south. Others are closed as is to prevent intrusion of external enemies.

"The Knights of the Forest are packing up in four places, two at a time. Well... after all, the eight of us are always the gatekeepers."

... yeah. Yes, it is.

What's troubling me right now is that... once we've built the wall, we'll have to build the gate. There is no point in building walls without gatekeepers at the gate.

But the Knights of the Forest... a little less, even if they were gatekeepers.

"... so what do we do? The Knights of the Forest are 16, right? Don't you want some more?

"Yeah... it's nice to be here."

There is no time to rest when there are always 16 guards and 8 guards. That's not good. I want them to take about three days off a week, if possible.

I see. So, let's recruit. The more towns, the more people. "

I appreciate Fai's offer. The Knights will be interviewed again at the fairy ceremony... If we can increase the number of people, the village will be safer.

So, Fay recruited me for a knight, a little.

... it was about time for me to be freed from the dragon, and finally I came home, but when Crowe and the others said, "I feel kind of like a spiritual...", I got a bit complicated, but if I was wearing shirts and pants and eating breakfast with bread, ham eggs and Edamame beans, they said, "Ah, it's the usual corn."

... and Faye's father came.

"Um, this is the first time your father has been here."

"Oh, I see. I always left it to Fei... but since the Spirit invited me personally, I thought it was a corner. Thank you for inviting me today."

Faye's father looks around the woods with a rare look, and he greets me like that. No invitations, this is Faye's father's land...

"So, tell me about it."

"Oh, it's just a strange story."

Faye's father cut out his face with a bit of seriousness.

"I made an inquiry with House Markpink." The Spirit sent me a letter asking me about the mirror. Do you know anything about it? "

Oh, that's really how I vomited. You're amazing.

"Then... I confessed. Mark Pink told Slaszler as if he was forbidden to lie."

So my father laughs at me with a little sense. [M] Yeah, I'm the one who forbade lying.

Well, what about the mirror?

"Oh, apparently this mirror was given to me by a monster."

... what?

"And that monster... was prophesiing the resurrection of the Devil King."

... Mayu?

Um... speaking of which, this world is quite a fantasy world.
