Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The Pochis breathed violently on their necks.However, no matter how much air I breathed in, I couldn't breathe all the air my body wanted.

I don't feel my feet anymore.Your body is caressed with a twitching sensation different from the wind.The view that seemed to be visible was also gradually distorting.

How close are we to Hermes just behind us...?Although Pochi thought of such a thing in his hazy consciousness, he kept moving his feet as he looked straight ahead because he was afraid to turn around.

We're 80 meters away from the 100m straight line.The scenery of the hallway, which hardly diminishes in terms of sensation, becomes a heavy stone of the name despair in the hearts of the Pochi.

In that way, an event occurs.The Pochi's manoeuvres were too intense, or Hermes' hands touched them...The clasps on the backpack that Pochi was carrying came off and the contents rolled to the ground.

What?!

The Pochis were in a hurry. I fell out of my bag because it was a doll that mimicked me.It was something that Strela had told me to give to Hermes, and it should never be dropped and lost.

But from behind, it looks like a demon (?) and Hermes was chasing him.It is obvious that Hermes will catch you if you go back for it.Should I defend myself from my master Strela, or should I escape Hermes and defend myself...?Pochi ran into trouble.

Inside, they succeed in running through 100 meters of hallways.And they realized.Hermes hadn't been following me along the way...

What?

As Pochi turned around, Hermes looked like he was holding three neck dolls in the middle of the hallway and cheeking.After seeing Hermes, like a monster in human skin, holding a doll like a sad girl now, the Pochi finally realized the situation.

Was that good?

"Maybe..."

"Run anyway."

Yeah!

The Pochis try to escape again after confirming that it ended up as Strela told them.

Hermes never came after them, and the Pochis managed to get back to the Strellars safely.

◇

"And I thought I'd die."

"Gururururu...."

"I won't do it anymore...."

"You've had a tough time...I knew Sakura should have done it-- "

"I will return that word to Strella-sama.In the first place, I'm a triad, and I'm not good at exercising, but I can't get away from him.If you get caught, I'll resent Strella-sama until the end. "

"Are you kidding me? But did you do well?Pochi, I have to reward you. "

Strela said so and took out three bags of cookies from the void.Each of the cookies took the shape of a small bone and looked like a snack for bony monsters.No, actually, it was a substitute that Strela baked for the Pochi.

Receiving the freshly baked cookies as they turned into people, Pochi ran towards the plaza in the courtyard with a smile on his face.I suppose the three of you are going to get along for a cookie in the square.

After smiling at the back of such friendly girls, Strela dropped her eyes on the crystal ball at hand.There, Pochi dolls were placed on the desk in the office, and Hermes looked at them from various angles and smiled softly.

"... for now, the mission is complete."

"What if the Pochis... no, if we were captured by Hermes, would that happen?"

"No, it's not like the boulders are going to see you..."

Even so, Strela imagines Hermes observing the captured sakura from all directions.At that time, it seems that Hermes on the other side of the crystal ball was greatly scuffing, but neither Strela nor Sakura noticed it.... It seems that both of them were shaking their heads together as if they were obliterating their bad imagination.
