23 Twenty-three, let's draw a line.

"Elaine, are you sure you want to do this?

Nigel talks with a worried face.

We're after that.

After the barracks where Adolf and the others were, they returned to the royal castle.

What I'm going to do now is because I just didn't want Adolf to see me.

They'll find out you're a Virgin.

"Yeah, it'll be over soon enough to close the line."

I said as if nothing.

Yes, it is.

I have heard that there are more monsters around Lynch Giham, and I am trying to establish a border with this country.

The area is all over the city.

This way, not only monsters will enter the country, but even dragons and demons will not be able to enter in the future.

"But... can you really reach out to the whole country? I've heard that it's a tough business to build boundaries the size of each person..."

Certainly.

Nigel's right, that's the limit if you're a regular Auxiliary Wizard.

"Oh, when I was a saint in the kingdom, I kept it for years. Besides, if you just look at the site area, the kingdom is higher. This won't be a problem at all."

I put my finger around my mouth and explained.

Well then, let's close the line.

Focus.

The image when the boundary is stretched is like stretching a membrane around an object.

However, it is a very delicate task, and if you make a slight mistake, the membrane will be torn.

That's why we carefully pour magic into it and stretch the boundaries.

After a while...

I'm ready.

After about fifteen minutes, I told Nigel that.

Already?

Nigel seems more confused than surprised.

"Yeah."

"Oh, thank you."

"Perhaps nothing has changed?

"Ah, ah. I'm sorry... is this really going to stop the monster? I thought so."

"Don't worry. Sure enough, the line was tight. The monsters will never enter the city."

"I see. I'm sorry I said something suspicious."

Sure...

Nigel will have no choice but to say so.

In fact, once a familiar wizard casts his magic boundaries, it looks like nothing has changed before or since.

If you're a bad person, your body feels heavy.

However, boundary magic is originally magic that is often used during battles and expeditions.

I have to say clearly, it's only third-class that you're at war with a monster, but you can only form a boundary that feels uncomfortable with your body.

"You should be able to feel the effect after a while. Until then, let's wait patiently."

"That's right. Thanks again, Elaine."

Nigel lowered his head deeply with a word of gratitude.

◆ ◆

About a week has passed since then.

Elaine!

When I was playing in the courtyard with Ralph from Fenrir, Nigel changed his blood phase and jumped in.

"Oh, Nigel. What's wrong with you? The Knights again....."

"No, it's not. Now it's good news."

I wonder if it's because I've run this far.

Nigel went on like this, holding his breath.

"Today, I heard a report from Adolf, the Knight Commander. What's happening to monsters around this country lately?"

"So how was it?

When asked, Nigel sounded excited.

"The monster stopped coming to Lynch Giham! I've had to allocate quite a few people to the gatekeeper of the city, but he said it might be a good idea to review it a little. And now that the monsters have stopped approaching Lynch Giham, we can calm down a little and plan a long-term monster hunt."

"Isn't that what Adolf thinks? The monster stopped coming."

I know the answer, but I dare ask that question.

But Nigel shook his neck.

"No, it's only been a week, but it's obviously falling numerically. It's obviously an unusual way to go down. As a Knights, you said you couldn't ignore this numerical bias... but thanks to you, Elaine."

"Yes, I told you. The monsters won't come near Lynch Giham in the future."

In fact, the boundary magic used by people as familiar as me doesn't seem to change in appearance. Because of this, people often say, "You don't need to use the boundaries."

Are you sure you're holding the line? It's not because of the boundaries, but it just happens that the monsters are stopping by...

It was Prince Claude of the Kingdom who thought so.

That's why I thought it would be a little while before I realized the magic of the border...

"Thank you so much!

Nigel held my hands.

Eh, uh!

Nigel, you're close!

"Thanks to you, the people of Lynchgham, including me, can sleep with peace of mind. Thank you so much. How can I express my gratitude..."

"Ju, that's enough! So let go of my face!

Even with that voice, Nigel wouldn't let go of my hands.

I'm in trouble...

It doesn't make me feel bad to be called beauty, but I don't know if this kind of experience is enough.

In the kingdom, basically, as a saint, I was drawn to the castle.

After that, Nigel thanked me for a long time.
