Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Hmm? You're almost through the woods.

"I see...By the way, why was there magic on the border of this country?

"Come on? The neighboring kingdom did not want to see the town near the border because of the large number of airships in the kingdom of Enderucia... or perhaps because the whole of this Lystere kingdom can be seen from the sky of Enderucia.In any case, didn't you hate peeping inside the country?

Teresa talked about her expectations while being held by Beatrice's shoulders.The truth is unclear, and on the contrary, we cannot deny the possibility that it was meant to prevent the people of Rhestal from showing the Enderucian fleet.

From that line of exchanges, there was a distinct light from the dark forest so far.Green and blue views across the forest trees.It was undoubtedly a cut in the forest.

Lucia stops by surprise, whether the view on the other side looks clear or not.

"What's the matter?Miss Lucia? It's a little early for lunch-- "

"Um... yeah.Let's go home after all? "

"Eh..."

"Besides, I can't remember my father's face or my mother's face... because I don't have any trouble knowing what caused it, and I don't think I'll have any trouble in the future...It's a little sad that I can't remember the time I spent with my family, but I think my sister and everyone gave me more than that. "

In Lucia's words, Teresa, Beatrix, and Potential looked at each other.

Nonetheless, neither of them seemed to be able to understand Lucia's situation.The village where Lucia lived and was attacked by bandits with fallen soldiers should have been abandoned since the time she was rescued by Waltz.In other words, Lucia's parents' bodies could still be there, and Lucia couldn't deny that she had to face her changed parents.

Teresa shouted from above Beatrice's shoulders to Lucia, who lay face down.

Hmm, shall we go home?

"Eh...."

"Don't you want to go home?

"Even though I've come this far... can I go home?

"I don't care about my concubine.The journey to this point and the camp made me enjoy my journey.Even though Miss Lucia hates it, she doesn't want to force herself to see the village and go home.... uhh? Bears and potatoes. "

"Yeah, I enjoyed my night with Teresa too!

"I can go anywhere whenever I want, so there's no problem if you turn back here."

"... it looks like Bear's head is gushing as usual, but that's fine.Is that why you're here?Miss Lucia, are you leaving?

and Teresa to encourage her to return.Lucia, on the other hand, once again looks at the woods, and she puts her hand on her chest and thinks--

"... thank you, everyone.I knew I was going. "

That's how I stepped forward.At that time, you won't have to say anything about the three people chasing after her.

And the party finally crossed the forest.Beyond it are hilly areas with low grass and flowers, and clear winds flowing over them gently stroke the earth.

Sometimes, on the other side of the flowering petals.More than two or three hills wrapped in blowing spring winds--

"... yeah. That's it...."

—— Destination of this trip.There was a village in Lucia's hometown.

"Do you remember what the village looked like?

Well... The brown tower in the warehouse, the fence at the entrance to the village.... "

While walking slowly step by step and climbing the hill, Lucia was talking about the village she remembered.But somehow, in her words, there is no "person" at all, and all that comes out of her mouth is the landscape of the village of the four seasons and the characteristics of the buildings in the village....Teresa and Potentia felt uneasy about Lucia's remarks.

Then, there is a hill left in the village, and a shadow of something moving in the village is reflected in the eyes of the group.

It was not monsters but people who were in the village.A woman stood on the village boulevard and looked at the line from there.

When she climbed up the hill and came to a place where she could hear her voice, the woman, the fox beast, murmured with joy.

"Fufu... I didn't expect to see them again like this...Destiny is not a cause and effect. "

Long silver hair and Japanese clothing.And nine tails stretching from the waist...It's more like a relative of Lucia with golden hair and tails--

"Teresa. Could it have gotten bigger in less time?

It was like a relative of Teresa's.
