Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

- West Side. It is a relatively insecure area even in Termwilds, where ports and slums exist. The orphanage Sheila and Illumhilt were talking about is also here.

That said, the orphanage is a good distance from the slums and ports, and it would be a calm place even within the West End.

"How do you two relate to that orphanage?

Ask Ilmhilt, who is sitting in the carriage's passenger seat. Even if Ashley and I can vouch for our identity, we need a name. In this case, it was easy to understand to get people to work around me, so I settled into this form.

"Thanks for your help back in the day. If I had taken the plug with me, the kids would miss me."

"So being stuck in the guild was a percentage pain, wasn't it?

"Yeah. I'm really glad I haven't been out in a while."

Thank you, and she smiled happily.

The carriage continues on the road leading to the West End. Step by step... the carriage is shaking harder. Does it feel like the pavement is getting cluttered?

"I knew there'd be a lot of patrols"

Sheila sitting next to Illumhilt shrugs as she looks back over her shoulder. At the end of that gaze was the figure of the soldiers on the patrol. By the time I got here, I was on a couple of similar rounds.

"Mmm. You know, I don't usually come to the West End."

... after one case of the Demon Man, does that mean?

I suppose it's the idea of the West End if a suspicious person from the outside were to turn to lurk, but given that there are demons in Cardiff's mansion in the first place, I also feel that now.

The carriage eventually enters a relatively solid building, even in the West End, with a large courtyard.

"Ah, it's Ill!

When I stopped the carriage at the stables and came back to the courtyard, such a child's voice sounded.

"What, Ill sister!?

Soon the other children will hear the voice and rush out of the building. A good number of other species, such as the Beasts and Elves, also appear to be seen. Feels like Illumhilt is mostly admired.

I'll keep checking on the kids, but they don't seem to be unnaturally thin or have poor clothes on them.

Apparently, the orphanage here is run by the Temple of the Moon. I made it to the West Side, which wouldn't have anything to do with the cheap land prices, but the location still seems to be squeezing.

Therefore, although children's lives may be qualitative, they do not seem to maintain a certain level of standards with regard to environments such as clothing and shelter.

"Brothers, who?

and the other child asks tilting his neck.

"Eh. A friend of Illumhilt's, I guess?

"It is! Nice to meet you, brother!

"Mmm."

I've reached out, so I shake hands to respond.

"What's the matter? Everybody get together like that."

An old woman came out of the building wrapped around the Moon Temple's coat of law, but she brightened her expression when she realized that there was an Illumhilt in the center of the crowd.

"Well, Illumhilt!

"I'm out of time, Dean"

"Yummy!"

The kid who ate the Whispermash dish smiles happily bright.

We accompanied the orphanage because we had too much Whisper Mash. If it dried, it would save well, but I wondered if it would go up to the table every time, so I decided to make sautéed vegetable-fried soup and behave like the children in the orphanage. The staff of the orphanage also helped to make it a standing party.

"How's Grace? Calm down?"

"- Yes. I showed you the ugly part."

And I laugh bitterly as I hold my mouth.

"Illumhilt, what are you going to do now?

Dean and Illumhilt are talking.

They say Illumhilt has been hiding that he is Lamia for a long time, but we don't know from the story of the two if Dean already knew.

I know it's in the ears of the orphanages who discovered it, but at least Dean's response wasn't a tough hit against Illum Hilt.

"Mmm. If I could just keep running my adventurer, I don't think I could just hope."

The questioned illumhilt tilts his neck. I guess she wants to dive into the labyrinth normally, not after she has gained strength outside, as before, as her own hope is.

There are things about the Demon Man and the Moonlight Temple that make it somewhat difficult for me to do what I hope, but if I or Ashley are responsible, the story will change.

Because of the materials available and the ease of leveling, I plan to keep my collection and hunting in the woods of the night and darkness as my main focus, so if she only has the strength to come with it, does it feel like it? Otherwise, I guess it would be in the direction of having Illumhilt help with chores or focus on the treatment squad with the other two in the guild.

We dive into the labyrinth together first, and the story starts with that. Illumhilt will need bows and arrows, so he'll have to go shopping.

"Was it Master Theodore? Regards, Sheila and Illumhilt."

And the dean kept my head down.

"Okay."

Where the conversation was wrapped up, Irmhilt, once removed his seat, brought some lute from somewhere to hold it on his lap and start playing.

Illumhilt was humbled to say that he was one step inferior to Dominic and Justia... but I guess he likes playing the instrument itself. When you close your eyes, smile at your mouth, and your quiet fingertips move to stir up the strings, are you unseen or rustic? The tasteful tone spreads to the dining room.

This time it's not a curse, it's a normal performance. The children who had been making noise earlier were also listening quietly.

Hmm. Lute with a harp, huh?

With regard to her weapon...... I came up with a somewhat interesting hobby. Why don't we arrange it early so that we can have it ready by the time we accompany you to the labyrinth?

After I left the orphanage, I went around shopping and came home.

Illumhilt returned to the Adventurer's Guild because he was still the keeper of the Guild, and Sheila returned to herself, in the West Side.

If the Illumhilt thing can be well known and rooted out in the future, will those two live together?

I am me, in the middle of taking a bath and relaxing.

"Theo, can I flush your back?

From beyond the stripper, such Grace's voice can be hung.

"Hmm... well, nice to meet you"

Somehow, I thought you were going to say that today. The impulse was predominantly appetite, but it definitely shook on the vampire side, and its dissolution would be necessary.

"Well, excuse me."

Say it, Grace comes into the bathroom. I don't look like my usual made-up clothes. I was wearing the swimsuit I bought when I went to the sea.

"Oh, Theo was a swimsuit, too"

"Yeah. Well. Because it's good clothes to get wet in the water and because of it."

I bought a fishing pole or swimsuit if I was going to the ocean.

I don't know when swimwear appeared in the history of the Earth's side, but in this world, this is pretty normal.

Because there is some interaction with friendly aquatic demons like mermaids and seylanes. In short, I'm not saying it's a swimsuit... but does it mean that they diverted their everyday clothes to make it easier for humans to use?

These are knitted by mermaids using water spider yarn, apparently. In the BFO, objects with defensive junctions that are fairly resistant to water magic appear when ranked above them, but I don't even want to go that far now.

I'm wearing a trunk-type swimsuit.

... because Grace was very impressed with the clothes for when entering the water.

Relieving my urge. I was hoping to try out my swimsuit and come to the bathroom.

Grace's swimsuit is a two-piece, paleo wrapped around her waist.

Not so much exposed swimsuit - I know exactly how big my chest is, and crisp hipsters like clear white skin are poisonous to my eyes after all.

Thin shoulders, small umbilical cords, then smoothness of leg lines - oh no... dig a grave, so let's not think too much about it. I decide to turn my back like before and have my back washed away with carelessness.

"Because of this, let's also call Master Ashley. From now on, it's good to take a bath with you. It's also less expensive and economical."

And Grace said happily. No, that's... what do you think? Hell, I don't even feel like I dug a grave...

No, wait. Don't mess around with your swimsuit. Easy, me. It's like going to the pool with you.

"Excuse me."

When Grace called, Ashley also came dressed in swimsuits.

"I like this swimsuit, it's cute"

"It's what Theo chose for me. Let's take care of it."

"Yes."

You say you chose... they just asked me for my opinion, though.

... By the way, Ashley's swimsuit is a piece and has an adult silly design with frills around her chest and hips.

I'm really glad I didn't make it too drastic.
