“What are you talking about? The garden beside you and the white obelisk in the center are already proof. The garden here is filled with seeds from all over the kingdom. And what the king likes the most is, the spire…… Ah!” (Felmenia)
There was nothing there. It was supposed to be there. But, not even a shadow was left. She panicked right away. Realizing that, Suimei spoke so as to ridicule her.
“What’s wrong? There’s nothing on your left though? That thing that you probably want to talk about, is on your right though?” (Suimei)
After it was pointed out, she turned right away.
“Ridiculous, The king’s room is supposed to be on the left side, why, why is it on the right side!?” (Felmenia)
The tower was there. She couldn’t respond to this mysterious phenomenon. There was no reason. It was impossible. Just like he said, it was on her right.
Confusion and questions filled her head, what was going on? The throne tower was supposed to be on her left, though she never really goes there, she was certain. But now, it was on the right. What was going on?
Then, Suimei said while closing his eyes.
“That’s right. There are two answers I can think up. It’s either that you were mistaken, or, this is not the White Garden.” (Suimei)
“That’s ridiculous, there’s no way…” (Felmenia)
“Is that so? Then why has the spire changed from your left to your right? Why does the moon rise from the right? Does this garden reverse it all? I dare you to tell me.” (Suimei)
“Th-That is…” (Felmenia)
Even if he asked her, she didn’t know the answer. It was true that everything here was somehow reversed. It was like a different world.
“” (Suimei)
“Phantom Road?” (Felmenia)
The word Suimei muttered was something she didn’t know. It might have been something that he used, but she didn’t understand it at all.
“That’s right, this is inside a barrier I created. Everything is mirrored here. It’s a world I created. It’s what you call imaginary space.” (Suimei)
“Wh-What? Imaginary space? What are you talking about? What did you do?” (Felmenia)
Even though he tried to explain his magic, she couldn’t understand it at all. As a mage, she had never seen anything like this, nor thought that any of the elements could do this.
Magic was something that came from elements. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Wood, Darkness, and Light. 8 elements. Magic always consisted of one of these elements. We brought forth the elements to the process, and magic was created.
But, there was no element that was supposed to be essential here. Nothing.
“Well, well, right from that part? I knew it. This world’s magic is too far behind. That’s why it became an unknown language and concept.” (Suimei)
“This is magic? There’s no way magic can transform the space like this. What elements did you use? There’s no way.” (Felmenia)
“Well, it’s not only the appearance that changed, but is it that strange? This barrier is a bit too basic though?” (Suimei)
She had never heard of that kind of magic, even the attribute was strange.
“Barrier… magic?” (Felmenia)
“Oi, oi, don’t tell me, there’s not even the concept of barrier magic here?” (Suimei)
“What are you talking about?” (Felmenia)
“Barrier! B-A-R-R-I-E-R! Are you deaf or what?” (Suimei)
“I-I don’t know! There’s no such thing in this world!” (Felmenia)
“Seriously? I’m starting to feel peerless in this world you know?” (Suimei)
Suimei sighed upon hearing of the state of this world’s magic. It seems he gave up explaining.
