4th Act, Chapter 75: Departing for the Labyrinth
Translated by Soyokaze Translations: soyokazeweb . wordpress . Com
From Mareba to Novelius is about twice as far as to Solkalis. Traveling normally would take us nearly a month.
However, I had placed a teleportation magic circle in Solkalis, so we can cover half of that distance almost instantly!
I had only just learned it back then, making it practically at the experimental level, so Im actually a bit uneasy about it though
“Well, Ive got a return circle ready right here, so if I return right away, then its a success. If I come back in an hour, then that means its a failure.”
“Being “Immortal” sure is convenient.”
“Do you want to die multiple times?”
“I retract my previous statement.”
If someone without “Adaptability” died two, maybe three times, they would probably go insane.
But seriously, were leaving as soon as we got back? Looks like the orc fluid research is going to be left for later.
I stashed the bottled stuff away in a sealed storehouse in the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Its hard to think anyone would steal something like this, but just in case.
“Were going to be away for a long five years this time, so I think we should bring plenty of traveling money with us. Ill also need to come back once a month to sell rings at Gustas place, so I can bring Marle along when I do. You can give your parents some peace of mind that way.”
“Okay!”
“Alecs probably gonna have to turn in reports and stuff too, so I guess well all end up back here once a month?”
“Could it be Im the only one who doesnt need to come back here?”
He very distinctly averted his gaze in response to my question.
I-Im totally not lonely!
“Its fine. A person can live all on her own”
While on the verge of tears, I activated the magic circle.
Upon being enveloped by the dazzling activation light, I was in a forest on the outskirts of Solkalis. It would seem the magic spell was a success.
I make sure the surroundings are safe, and reaffirm the spells formation.
It was made shortly after I learned it, so there are a few messy bits, but no particularly outstanding problems it would seem.
If I had to point something out, then there are quite a few unnecessary lines that make it bigger than needed, I suppose.
“Righy-o, lets go ahead and get that return circle ready then”
I pack in the ground immediately next to it with [Earth Wall], and strengthen it with [Toughness] before burning the spell formation into it.
Once its done, I again activate the spell and return to the cottage at Mareba.
“There were no problems with the spell. It looks like we can use it as a shortcut to Solkalis.”
“Whew, thank goodness.”
“No kidding. The trip is now two weeks shorter.”
“Thats not what hes saying, sis. Master is saying “thank goodness” because you came back okay.”
“Huh? Oh, right. Umm Thanks. Thank you very much.”
It felt pretty nice once I realized that he was worried about me again.
My mood got a little better from that.
“Hmmhmmhmhm~m”
“Yuuri sure is in a noticeably good mood.”
“Sis is pretty simple on a basic level, after all.”
“Feh! Yall normies can just go explode!”
“You guys! Stop muttering to each other and get ready to go! Were going to head out soon, okay?”
And your chastis.e.m.e.nt will come later, miss Livy. I have very good hearing.

Having [Teleported] to the forest on the outskirts of Solkalis, we camouflaged the magic circle with leaves and branches, hiding it so random strangers couldnt use it.
Miss Livy was useful for this. The “Trap Disabling” gift, if thought of in reverse, means being able to set up traps too.
Forget amateurs, not even pros would be able to see through the camouflage she set up.
But even if someone were to find it, [Teleport] takes a fair bit of magic power to use, so only a fairly proficient magician would be able to activate it.
“We didnt go by way of Rahon, but I wonder if thats okay?”
“Actually, isnt it rather convenient since were hiding that weve entered the country? Its as good as saying were still back in Mareba.”
“Come to think of it, we were going to register with fake names. But wouldnt that be a problem for Marle in entering the academy?”
“I guess so, huh? Perhaps we should let just her enter the country with her real name.”
“In that case, Ill take her along for the border inspection. If you or Alec were to do it, then it would cause a fuss, right?”
Im carrying the border inspection certificate that I got last time, but as long as I dont use it, I can enter as a normal citizen.
Well, Haster looks a whole lot different than he did before, so I dont think anyone would notice if he did the same though.
“You wouldnt be any better- Oh, you dont plan on using your certificate from last time, do you?”
“As long as shes got your introduction letter, Haster, I think theyll let us in just fine, right?”
“Well sure, but Im worried. Livy, could you go along with them? I would think nothing will happen if theyve got a mid-rank adventurer along with them.”
“Yeppers. Couple a kids travelin alone might be a smidge suspicious, after all.”
“I am an adult already, you know?”
I realize that I dont look it, but I wouldnt be satisfied if that wasnt put out there.
Will I ever be able to travel without a guardian around?
“In that case maybe Ill have to write an introduction letter for Yuuri too? Heck, maybe we should enroll Yuuri in the academy too?”
“Why in the h.e.l.l would I have to go to an academy after all this time?!”
“To treat your communication problems”
“Im just fine. I can keep on going as long as youre with me.”
“I-is that so? I see Well thats fine then.”
“Uh, no, thats not fine. Master, dont let her throw you off like that.”
Alec just had to open his big mouth.
And here I was planning to just spend my whole life flirting around with him!
“But Alec, this is Yuuri were talking about, see? She might get really popular and find a boyfriend if she enrolls in school.”
“Master, you know thats the kind of thing a father worries about, not a husband, right?”
” But come on, its Yuuri. If her gla.s.ses were to accidentally fall off, all sorts of problems could happen, right?”
If I were to remove my [Sealing Magic Mirror] in a school, a small-scale “tragedy of Lilith” could be reproduced.
But really, unlike back then, I have some means of self-defense now.
“Rather, I suppose it should be changed to something other than gla.s.ses, huh?”
I agree that it should be changed from something as easy to remove as gla.s.ses, but
Haster, why are you directing your gaze at my collar I wonder?
Im feeling something disturbing right now, so I think it would be a good idea to get out of here.
“Well, this is all after we officially enter the country. Come on, write that introduction letter, please. Well have to bring miss Livy to Rahon and go through the border crossing process, after all.”
“R-right.”

Haster wrote the introduction letter for me, and I entered Novelius as Marles “little” sister when crossing the border.
Its because Im the shorter one of us, but I still dont like it!
When we teleported back to Solkalis from Rahon, we saw
“Wouldnt a collar be fine?
“Youve made shackles with “gift sealing,” havent you?”
“But those would be hidden if she just put boots on. I want to [Enchant] something that will clearly display my claim on her. Maybe it would be better to use a swimsuit and seal her whole body?”
“Why not like, handcuffs, or a rope? Like in S&M.”
“Alec, I think youve got some rather unique tastes. Marles gonna have it rough.”
“Im not as bad as you, Master! Besides, I wouldnt ask her to do something like- Er, well”
“So you cant deny it.”
“Ahem, then why not just make it all?”
“Thats it!”
“That better NOT be it!”
Alec and Haster were in the middle of some kind of stupid conversation.
Boys really talk about the stupidest things when theyre all alone!
Well, if my gender hadnt changed, Im sure I would have joined in though.
At this rate Im going to be wearing a school swimsuit, handcuffs, shackles, a collar, and a robe binding underneath my clothes. That will be my life.
“Welcome back. Its not like you would have to wear clothes over it all, you know?”
“Ill catch cold that way though?!”
“No you wouldnt. Since you have “Adaptability” and all.”
“Gh, urrrghh”
“Well, just joking anyway.”
Sure, I really dont have to worry about getting sick thanks to that gift!
Maybe I should offer a compromise while the damage is still light?
“Well, I wouldnt mind compromising with just a collar.”
“Really? Then I guess Ill design it that way.”
You said that so casually, but youre grinning from ear to ear, Haster.
“Yall got it rough too, huh Yuuri?”
“So you finally understand? Once he gets enthusiastic about something, it just escalates from there.”
“That kinda enthusiasm aint somethin I need in my life.”
“Sir Alec, mister Haster, youre both dirty.”
By the way, why did you both get a shock from Marles simple words, rather than our whole conversation?
Actually, you should have expected that. This is hardly the kind of conversation you have in front of a 10 year old, is it?!
“Good grief, children could be traumatized by this. Both of you think about what youve done!”
“Whoops.”
“S-sorry!”
“But sir Alec, when it is just the two of us, I will do my best!”
“Hey, wait, what?!”
I hadnt seen her for a little while, so I completely forgot, but she has a bunch of superficial knowledge on that subject!
We will need to show her a “proper adult relations.h.i.+p” to keep her on the straight and narrow as shes growing up.
And Haster, youre influencing Alec too much.
At this rate you two are going to be a depraved sage and depraved swordsman pair, you know?
“Anyway! Well procure a carriage and necessities in Solkalis, and then well head out. We still have two weeks of travel ahead of us!”
“Yeah, actually Ive already prepared a carriage. We can leave whenever.”
“Ooh, just what I should expect. So you really werent just sitting here chatting the whole time.”
And it only took us a little over an hour to get through the border inspection. He sure works fast.
While I looked at him respectfully, he seemingly uncomfortably hid a small bag behind his back.
I heard a familiar clanging metal sound Is that silver?
Thats when it suddenly came to me. Theres a certain magic tool made from carved silver
“Seriously, Haster, youre such a”
“Look, we dont know when well be able to get more of these after this. And besides, its normally a necessity for adventuring.”
Its true, the “Ring of Mental Resistance” is a necessity for adventurers.
Lately Ive only been looking at them for something other than their intended use, so I guess Im just jumping at shadows now?
“Oh, got it. My apologies. Weve been using them for other things so much lately, so I ended up misunderstanding.”
“Eh, no need to apologize. Of course I plan on using them for that too.”

A-anyway We once again began journeying like this.
Sigh, is there any way to rehabilitate a depraved sage out there?
Authors Note: The ones who got the [Teleport] trap in the 2nd act ready were Baram (magician), and Mac (healer).
An average magic user would probably have trouble activating it alone.
