Magical Journey: The Other Shore Blooms on the Other Shore

Elena did not continue discussing marriage with Saya.

Fearing that Saya might resort to violence if the conversation continued, she quickly changed the subject, steering the conversation towards the request Saya had received from the Magic Integration Association.

Now, they need to find the person who initially mistook her for someone from the Magic Integration Association, who is most likely the person who issued the request.

But the Land of Honesty is neither too big nor too small, and Elena felt that finding such a target quickly would be difficult.

However, the truth can always be unexpected.

This person was surprisingly easy to find. After all, she was the only one wandering around with a notebook that read, "[Have you ever seen a witch from the Magic Integration Association wearing a moon brooch?]"

Then you'll be loudly mocked.

"Are you stupid?"

"Get out of here, you banished, useless witch." As mentioned above, she was treated as a weirdo.

Elena quickly grabbed the strange man's arm: "Hello, I think my friend is the person you're looking for."

When the strange man saw Saya, his gaze fell on the moon brooch on her chest, and he almost burst into tears. Thank goodness, his savior had finally appeared.

……

This silent witch's name is Ehemia, the Sand Witch.

The barrier that prevents lying in this land of honesty is directly related to her. She forged the sword in the king's hand at the cost of her own voice and magic. As long as the king holds it, the magic of this barrier will remain in effect.

The reason for forging such a sword is that Ahemia fell deeply in love with the king. When the king was heartbroken after being betrayed by his trusted minister, he consulted the Sand Witch about whether there was a magic that prevented him from lying. Ahemia agreed to the king's request without hesitation.

As for why she had to sacrifice her own voice... it was because Ahemia was afraid that if she couldn't lie, she would reveal her love to the king, and her shame wouldn't allow her to do so.

However, after Ahemia lost her magic and voice while forging the sword, she was deemed useless and was banished from the palace...

In conclusion, love makes people blind, useless, and prone to betrayal.

Even the five-star witch Saya commented, "Sacrificing one's voice and magic for the sake of an order, the king probably hates this kind of heaviness."

But given her crazy behavior (of course, she shouted loudly about getting married as soon as she saw Elena, as if she would hang herself in front of your window if she didn't get married), Saya is the least qualified person to say that.

"So what do we need to do?" Elena asked the crucial question.

[If only I could free the sword from the king, my voice and magic would return.] Ahemia wrote.

“Then the king’s speech will be a good opportunity, but the next speech is next month, which means I’ll be sharing a room with Elena for a month. Yay!” Saya’s equation in her mind was correct.

This king was Cupid sent by heaven to bring her and Elena together.

"Let's look for other methods," Elena said, embarrassed.

Having a friend who has no boundaries is exhausting.

“The king should be in the palace most of the time; it shouldn’t be easy to sneak in,” Saya said. Of course, she wouldn’t give up any time she could spend with Elena.

“If it’s done by writing, there are countless ways to sneak in.” Elena already had a draft in mind.

She recently tried a method of fraud where she could perfectly forge a story by simply writing down a truth and then erasing part of it.

For example, she could write on a piece of paper, "Allowing these people to enter the palace—King, that's nonsense."

By magically erasing the phrase "This statement is nonsense," one can effectively fabricate a lie.

Because all that's written on it is "These few people are allowed to enter the palace—the King".

"What would happen if the sword couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood in a single sentence?" Qin, who had been offline for a long time, took the initiative to speak.

This is no easy feat for someone as taciturn as him.

"Such a thing exists?" Saya countered. She was naturally hostile towards this zither, seeing it as a potential rival in love, and she wanted to nip any potential danger in the bud.

Elena is mine.

"I'm lying right now," Qin said calmly.

As soon as Qin finished speaking, the entire kingdom began to stir. It was as if some forbidden realm had been touched.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Elena felt that Qin seemed to have done something terrible.

“I…” Aholmia was actually able to make a faint sound.

"What I said is a lie."

As Qin's words rang out again, the turmoil began once more, only to soon subside.

"My magic is back! It actually broke my spell!" Ahemia hadn't expected the problem to be so simple.

She truly hadn't imagined such paradoxes existed in the world. Her own magical pathways were disrupted and collapsed due to these paradoxes.

Did no one exploit this loophole this year?

"So the problem is solved?" Elena said. "I'm really not cute. Oh? I can lie now."

Saya was stunned by Koto's sudden and fierce attack. She vaguely felt a growing sense of crisis.

No, we must strike first.

……

"What are you doing entering the palace?" The guards stopped Elena and her party of four.

“I have been summoned by the King,” Elena said. She could use this brief time difference to deceive everyone; it shouldn't be so obvious that anyone would immediately realize the honesty spell had failed.

"Really?"

"Don't you even know what kind of country this is?"

"Indeed, please come in."

Even if they fail, there's a plan B. The king, having lost this magic, must be frantic with worry, so it's perfectly reasonable for Ahemia to go. As for the group going to find the king…

The main reason was that Ahemia felt obligated to comfort the king.

Seeing through it all but saying nothing, Elena felt love truly made people blind. Even with the king treating her this way, she remained so persistent…

Irene concluded that falling in love probably makes people stupid.

The story unfolded exactly as he had imagined. Just moments ago, the sword in the king's hand disintegrated on its own, and the king realized that someone had broken the spell.

This left him at a loss. He wanted to find the culprit quickly, but he was also worried that the lie could spread rapidly. Just as he was caught in this dilemma, Elena and her party appeared before the king.

If we disregard Aholmia's teachings on love to the king, then Elena has nothing to do with the rest.

Of course, the so-called education of love means that the world needs lies, that lies can act as a lubricant, aba aba...

Poor Saya didn't even have a chance to do anything before the entire request was over, but the fee still went as usual.
