Chapter 595 - Transfer Magic Circle Vulnerability?
Thursday
"Juju~♪"
"Hey, Gaju. I brought some guests today."
This is the first time the White Dragon Princess and El-san have come to the Southern Island, I think.
Since Gaju and the others already met them when they came to our island to play, I don't need to worry about that, and with Mion and El-san accompanying them, I can leave them with peace of mind.
"Alright, we're going to head out for a bit."
"Okay."
So, leaving them to Mion and the others, Lupi, Gaju, and I headed to the village entrance.
Azure-san said he was coming here regarding Emeraldia-san's matter, so we're just going to meet him.
"Oh, Shou-kun."
"Hey. Sorry to make you come all this way."
"That's my line. It's Emeraldia's fault, after all~"
We met Azure-san before reaching the village entrance.
We then returned to the Divine Tree.
"Lord Azure."
"How is the Princess doing?"
"She's significantly better than before."
Oh, really? I don't know how the White Dragon Princess was before coming here.
And the reason Azure-san came today was,
"This is a letter from the Princess to Lady Emeraldia."
"Okay."
Apparently, the White Dragon Princess had awakened while we were logged out, heard about Emeraldia-san, and wrote a letter.
And it was arranged for Azure-san to deliver it via the person who had provided the information.
By the way, the content is written in Dragonic, so even if it falls into the wrong hands, it can't be read, so it's fine.
"The content is a status report from the Princess."
"Oh, El-san can read it?"
"Yes, I've served the Princess for a long time."
Mion, upon hearing that, expressed an interest in learning Dragonic.
As for me… I guess I can leave that to Mion.
"El, do you know what's in the letter?"
"Yes. I've already told you two."
According to El-san, it stated that she was currently on my island instead of the Dragon Capital, and that her health had improved from eating delicious food.
"Okay. Is that all I need to convey?"
Azure-san, who received the letter, looked towards the White Dragon Princess playing with Mion and the others under the Divine Tree. Sweee seemed to be teaching them how to make flower crowns, which made for a very picturesque scene.
"Oh, right. There's something I wanted to discuss with you, about the other island Shou-kun mentioned."
"The other island… Ah, you mean the one where a Transfer Magic Circle will be placed in the Necropolis soon?"
"Exactly, exactly. I'm trying to pinpoint where that island is located."
"Eh?"
Sabana-san's Uninhabited Island Start island.
Since the Transfer Magic Circle connecting to the mainland was found inside the Ancient Ruins, the Dragonkin wanted to at least know its location.
"How would you do that?"
"Shou-kun's Nina-san can pinpoint the location from the Transfer Magic Circle's Individual ID Number, right?"
"Ah, that's right."
Both for the Necropolis and this Southern Island, Nina identified the location from the Transfer Magic Circle's Individual ID Number.
"Uh, will someone investigate that Individual ID Number for you?"
"Yeah~ We're being watched, so I was wondering if we could ask someone from 'Silver Manor'."
"I see."
I recall that if you have the Appraisal skill, you can find the Individual ID Number. I don't think Magic Analysis skill was necessary.
…Wait? The one I found in the mansion's vault was paired with the underground mining facility on the Southern Island, right? And the one I found on the first floor of the Mountain Cabin was paired with the one in the Necropolis.
"Mion. You appraised the Transfer Magic Circle we found in the mansion's vault during the live stream, right? Is that published in the archive?"
"Yes."
"Uh oh, that might be a problem."
Originally,
Necropolis [AX] = [AY] Our Island [BX] = [BY] Southern Island
I changed it to:
Necropolis [AX] = [AY] Southern Island
But I handed the appraised [BX] from the live stream to 'Silver Manor', so they probably think:
Necropolis [BX] = [BY] Southern Island
Someone might notice this difference in Individual ID Numbers?
"Ah, I've processed that part so it can't be read."
"Nice, Mion!"
Someone might have noted it down at that moment during the live stream, but is it worth worrying about now?
The Transfer Magic Circle in the Necropolis is guarded by Azure-san and the others, so it should be fine. More importantly…
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, if the Individual ID Number of the Transfer Magic Circle on our island is exposed, then the island's location will also be exposed, right?"
"Yeah. If Shou-kun could ask Nina about it, that is."
That's right. Only I and Bell-buchou should be the administrators of the Ancient Ruins right now.
However, in the future, someone unknown might become an administrator of the Ancient Ruins, so we'll have to be careful.
Well, even if the island's location is exposed now, it's so incredibly far away that it should be fine.
They've probably already investigated whether it's the island I started on when they selected their starting point, anyway.
No, wait…
"If the Individual ID Number is exposed, will anyone come using Transfer Magic?"
"Ah…"
"No, that's impossible. The Transfer Magic Circle's Individual ID Number and the unique identification number of the destination space are separate."
"Oh, good…"
Both Mion and I were relieved.
Apparently, if you use Magic Analysis on a Transfer Magic Circle, you can get the unique identification number of the space (the same one obtained with Positioning Magic), but… Wait, I did that before.
Azure-san explained a lot to me, but apparently, the unique identification number of the space has strict restrictions to prevent illegal use loopholes.
"Also, the unique identification number for a space expires if it's not used for about half a year."
"Oh, really?"
The transfer destinations I currently have registered would probably also rot if unused, but if that's the case, I don't need them anyway.

"…So, that's the story."
I reported to Miki after dinner.
Azure-san will probably ask her in-game, but just in case.
"Hmm. It might take a while, but there's suitable talent in our allied guild. I'll ask them."
There's a guild specializing in research and verification called 'Library of Knowledge,' and they're going to Sabana-san's island.
However, the exact timing isn't confirmed yet, so it was decided that they would appraise the Transfer Magic Circle on the other island at that time.
"Princess Anshia is involved, so please ask them not to push themselves."
"There should be no problem. The Transfer Magic Circle to be appraised is on Sabana-dono's island, after all."
Seth said with a grin.
Sabana-san also mentioned "in case something happens…," so she'll cooperate with that, I'm sure.
