Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"The reason why I or your father won't attack Ecleria is simple.It's not because you're strong, it's just because you're weak. "

"Eh...."

"When me and your father attack Ecleria, doesn't that mean that in the meantime you neglect to protect the country?Or, even if we win the war safely, if the surviving Ecclesiastes resist guerillas, we can't deal with each of them, so I think you'll be fighting the Ecclesiastes in many places.You think you can win without us?And there's no damage on our side. "



At this point, Sakura finally understood why Strela would not invade Ecleria.I didn't think we'd lose if we fought Ecleria, but I didn't think we could win without losing.However, Strela has so far maintained a balance in her affair with Ecleria, with very few casualties among her own people.That meant that the Sakura SS, which was supposed to protect Strela, was actually protected by Strela.

Sakura, who knew that fact,

"Ahh... that's what happened..."

--It seems that he turned his deep gaze towards Strela.

"... what is it?I'll count to Hermes. "

"Nothing.I was just feeling a little bit like ourselves.That's right, Hermes, I'm in my own room right now... "

You must have passed out under your own spell spell...A few decades ago, it was a sacrament that remembered the appearance of Hermes that was reflected in the magical instrument of surveillance that Strela had acquired...Before you say all the words ---

* Giggle *... giggle *...

—— Someone came into the office of the Canopus without knocking, and she would interrupt her speech.

Outside the room, there should have been about two guards standing to protect the king.But they didn't seem to react at all.In other words, it was either the knights' face that came into the room or the knights were defeated in an instant.

In any case, it was impossible to open the door without knocking, so it seemed that the three of Strela, Sakura, and Canopus who were in the room all stood together.In particular, it seems that Sakura felt some sort of wild intuition - no, fear - and retreated with her face bluished.It also produces a triad tentacle from its back, shaking it with a trap.

Something unusual is coming...Prior to that sign, when Sakura snorted his throat, it was his pure white arm that emerged from the slightly open door gap.From where the floor is critical, it slowly enters the room without a sound.

Then appeared a woman with long hair on her face who could not see her expression.

"Hyi?!"

Sakura inadvertently hides in the shadow of Strella's back as if she had embodied a vengeful spirit.By the way, Strela is smaller, so she's not hiding at all.

Strela sighed deeply at the behavior of her men....The woman who crawled into the room without a sound asked in a dazed mood.

"... Hermes, I think we should knock when we get into the room.Besides, this is the King's office, right? "

Strella pointed out knocking, ignoring the appearance and behavior of Hermes.When Hermes, on the other hand, unexpectedly stopped walking on all fours like a chameleon, she somehow returned to the path she had just taken.

Gah!

"Uyah?!"

--I was hitting the corner of the open door and making a strange noise because I was still under the spell of Sakura.
