Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
13.3-22 Cherry Blossom 20
Only Waltz and those around him know that Strella should be half-organisms, half-machine Homuncruses, or androids.There was no element that could tell if it was a machine just by looking at Strela, but if it did, there was only one possibility that could be eliminated legally.That is, if the woman is also a Strela-like Homunkurus or a Walts-class Guardian.As a precedent, there was a deprexa, a guardian and goddess, which makes it quite likely that the peach-haired woman would be a guardian.
Above all, for Strela, the peach-haired woman's reaction rate was inconceivable in living beings.Successive thrusts from the stretcher are super fast with less than a single millisecond per stroke and are no longer responsive to the organism's neural circuitry.Even though she was pushing the blade beyond the speed of sound, women had no difficulty in doing so, so they could not be as human as they looked.
Therefore, Strela takes a short distance from the woman with a bitter expression on her face.However, to prevent ranged attacks from flying, we are ready to deal with anything at an exquisite distance without leaving.
The woman who was watching Strela's behavior gave a big sigh because she was finally able to calm down and talk.
Are you comfortable listening to me?
…………
Strela doesn't answer. Because she heard from her sister that there were guardians in the world other than herself and that they were unfriendly.If the woman in front of you is a Guardian, Strela is more troublesome than Eclaria.Strela didn't think she could have a decent conversation with such a person.
The opposite woman was naturally reacting differently from Strela.Nevertheless, it wasn't from the top or high pressure.
"Um, excuse me. Could you stay out of this labyrinth?Growing the labyrinth to this point is very difficult, so please don't kill it.I'll take you outside, so it would be helpful if you could just leave. "
That's how the woman lowered her head against Strela.As far as I can see, there's no sign of her being hostile to Strela...As a result, Strela was also released from the poison, and now she stopped poisoning herself.
"Don't you deny being a Guardian?"
"Yes... that may have been said before, but it was a long time ago.It doesn't matter to me now. "
…………
"So, how about that? Would you be so kind as to go home?Or is there something you want in this labyrinth?If there's anything I can offer, I'll talk to you about it.... "
"... no, it's nothing. I just wanted to get out, but in the labyrinth, I couldn't use transfer magic, so I was just walking around looking for an exit."
"I see... So you were brought to this labyrinth by the ecclesians and trapped in a hidden room in the Undead Zone?"
When asked by a woman with peach hair, Strela moves her eyes and corners.
"I see... can I withdraw what I just said?"
Yes?
"This labyrinth has nothing to ask for.Do you want to know how you're connected to Ecleria? "
If this woman - no, one of the Guardians - were connected to Ecleria, it would be incredible...Strela, who had always thought it would be good to fight just humans, came here to find out that the Guardian might be on the enemy's side and was in a hurry.If there was a Guardian on the other side, his men would be slaughtered no matter how they scratch their feet.If we want to save them and the people, we have to run away from the whole country.
Apparently, however, Strela's concern ended with worries.The peach-haired woman felt what Strela was worried about, laughing bitterly---
"No, it has nothing to do with me and the ecclesians."
I shook my neck to the side.
