により よう pattern

Postby darkakira06476 » November 22nd, 2014 7:43 pm

Hello everyone, I'm not sure how 「人払いの魔術により」 connects with the next part of the sentence, 「無関係の人を巻き込まないよう細心の注意を払いながら、呟く」. Some sort of translation: "With the help of magic 'which makes people go away', in order to not entangle uninvolved people, paying close attention she whispered."

苺「ようやくーーー見つけたぞ」
人払いの魔術により、無関係の人を巻き込まないよう細心の注意を払いながら、呟く。

darkakira06476 san,
konnichiwa.

により means ‘by’ or ‘because of’.

ないよう means ‘in order not to’.

While I pay attention deeply in order not to involve unrelated people by the magic of cleaning the room of people, I whisper the spell.

I hope it could be helpful.
