Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... Hermes? No, sir.I am Hermes, deputy to His Majesty the King, entrusted with the administration of this land.It is not named Hermes.Please be careful not to make mistakes. "

…………

Before the sudden appearance of Hermes, the caravan merchants - and those of the Strela SS - remained silent without exception.What makes Hermes different from her is whether or not she wears inverted triangular date glasses and has an "H" on the head of her name.Even if she had spoken of someone else, Hermes would have been the enemy.Well, Hermes and Hermes just have a slightly different pronunciation, and the spelling is exactly the same.

As a result, there was a strange quietness enveloping the scene, but the title of "Prime Minister" did not seem to be fake...Without being overwhelmed by strange air, Hermes began to speak with dignity to the village chief Tanaka.

"Hello, village chief. May I introduce myself again?I'm Hermes. His Majesty the King, who owns this land, is entrusted with its administration.Call me deputy. "

"Welcome to this border.I'm Tanaka, the village chief.I am entrusted to represent this pioneering land.I didn't know there was a substitute, and I'm sorry I wasn't prepared for the entertainment at all.I'm going to hurry up and prepare for the entertainment right now, so I'd like to give you some time --- "

"No, it's fine.It's my fault I didn't contact you in advance. "

"Well, thank you very much for saying that...."

To the village chief Tanaka, who lowers his head many times in a low position, the deputy (?) Hermes cuts out the subject.

"Well, village chief. Looks like the development is going well, doesn't it?You can say it's really great.No one in this country is likely to be able to advance this pace. "

"Ha, ha!It's an honor to give you a compliment!

"But... I wonder if this level of development is good enough."

"Ha... yes?

"Frankly speaking, I think it's a little too soon.As it stands, it will open up more forests than feed the people who live here.In some cases, it may affect the lives of forest animals and monsters. "

Hermes knew that the monsters who lived in the woods of the land were even more subordinate to the Strela SS, so he decided to use the monsters as an example as a reason to stop the development of the forest.However, it does not directly mention that the monster is under control.The fact that they coexist with monsters is not only unknown in other countries, but also in their own countries.It is unpredictable what the trailblazers will think if their presence is made clear.I could say that being silent without saying extra things was the best option.

On the other hand, when they were taken to King's City a few days ago and pushed out in front of Princess Strela, people (?) The village chief Tanaka, who remembered that he and the monster had met in the same place, seemed to understand the true meaning of Hermes, whether it was happiness or misfortune.

The problem was that he was from the modern world and had never exited Ecleria before.He didn't feel more challenged by the coexistence of people and monsters than the people of this world.

Because of that, in front of Hermes, the words of doom (?).

"Oh, I see. I mean... a (...) re (...)?

Yeah, that's a cue word.It is now a forbidden word in the Kingdom of Mercrio - especially in the castle officials.It's no longer suicide to talk, especially in front of Hermes.Tanaka noticed that Hermes had blurred his words, imitated them and dared to cloud them, but he would not have thought that his good intentions were bad.

Gah!



Hermes grabs Tanaka's breast.

"Hee hee! Don't you know how to use words?!Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "Gogogogogogogogogogogogo

"Hi, hi?!

There's nothing the village chief Tanaka can do to Hermes, who grabs his collar with both hands and easily lifts himself up...He —— no, they (...) could only tremble with the Strela SS.
