Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And the next morning.Strela was visiting Prime Minister Hermes in an attempt to adjust her schedule in order to carry out a magic experiment with Canopus.

Hermes is not the secretary of Canopus and therefore does not manage his schedule, but since most of her duties are performed with Canopus, scheduling with Hermes was necessary to make time in Canopus first.Originally, the adjustment should be done through her secretary, not Hermes herself, but when Strela said she was busy, she was obviously turned down....As a result, Strella was going to get in directly and force her to adjust the schedule.

... but not until you stand in front of the room.

"442, 443, 444... oh, there seems to be a lot of people who want to participate in special lectures..."

From the inside of the room, I heard a suspicious grunt of Hermes that was difficult to say whether he was happy or stunned.Strella, who was a Homunkurus but heard Hermes' murmuring clearly, seemed troubled to hear the voice and accidentally open the door or not.... I feel like I'm going to step on a mine if I go in the room now...Such intuition comes to mind in her.

As a result, Strela starts to wonder in front of the room if she should come back in time, but somehow before she puts her thoughts--

"... this sign is Strela, isn't it? Please come in."

--Hermes, who is supposed to be on the other side of the door, calls me.

Now that he's been stopped, Strela thinks he's lost the option to run away.When she was ready, she slowly opened the door to Hermes' office.

◇

"... so nearly half of Strella-sama's SS have decided to attend a special lecture."

"(You were still talking about instructions....)"

If Hermes sees her using instructions more than three times in a month, she has to take her special lecture-that is, the communication training seems to have been steadily counting, even though the proposed person's strella has forgotten.Hermes, the lecturer of the special lecture, was somehow motivated.

"We're almost halfway there...I don't like it when the sakura doesn't break its mouth inside... but in half a month, I'll definitely show it as a fall.Fufufufu.... "

"... I think I just heard something disturbing?"

"No, it's my fault."

"Nevertheless, you've counted nearly 500 people in a short time.Someone helped you? "

"No, I'm alone.Recently, I can hear you clearly because you're constantly watching.... that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that... "

"No, I can't hear you normally... you mean you realized I was on the other side of the door because you were nervous?(Monster....) "

"... did you think of anything rude just now?"

"... yeah. Nothing. (Can you read thoughts?I don't know....) "

"I see.... By the way--"

Elmes, who was pointing at Strela's SS list with an unmatched determination, raised her face as if she had remembered something.

Strella-sama, I thought you were here because you had something to do.

"... well..."

Strela, half of her men are on Hermes' blacklist (?), and I couldn't tell you about scheduling.Even though his subordinates had poor grades, he wondered what it was like for him as a boss to claim his rights.

However, beyond this point, Strela did not leave the option of returning without success.She's already an adventurer in a tiger hole.So, she's courageous (?) and told Hermes about the incident.

"Hermes, I'm going on a date with your father, so make time for him."

"I can't."

And, as Strela predicted, Hermes refused immediately.So the battle between the two prides broke open.
