Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

A fireworks tournament involving the entire Carolis, the capital of the kingdom of Mercrio -- a few days after Strela's date."X Day" is finally coming.

The faces of Strela's men were all bluish this day.It was no exaggeration to say that I was having a bad morning.Some of them were planning to take sick leave using a false illness, but the original identity was a magical accident, so no one was affected by the illness, so they found out immediately, and the sick leave was not allowed....Everyone, without exception, appeared to have been gathered at the Dai-yen Theater in the capital.

... yes. Today is the day of a special lecture hosted by Hermes.It is the day Hermes waves a whip at Strela's men who do not communicate properly with each other, often using the instruction "Oh, it, this".

The Dai-yen Theater where they gathered was a stone structure close to the imperial castle.A roofless theater with a staircase of stone seating that surrounds the central stage in a half-moon fashion, accommodating about 5,000 people.About 40% of those seats were filled by Strela's men, and everyone seemed to be waiting for the beginning of the lecture to begin.

That's no exception to Strella.

"When you're always saying you don't have time, you often do events like this...I wonder if I'm actually free if it's hermetic. "

Strela was sitting in a special royal seat set up in the theater.Sitting there, Strella exhaled, and the sakura, who had stood behind her diagonally, struck at each other with a bitter smile.

"If you say such a thing, Hermes will find out.He's really deaf. "

It's very deaf... It was the moment Sakura tried to say such a word.Hermes, who was preparing for the lecture--

"............!"

And suddenly, as if they were sucked by a magnet, they turned towards Sakura.Even though he was in a special royal seat, it was quite a distance away, and even though the venue was surrounded by noise, Hermes heard the sound of sakura.I may be using some kind of spell magic again.

"Hyi?!"

When Sakura retreated to Hermes' reaction, it seemed that Hermes was satisfied or returned to the preparation of the lecture after an unbelievable smile.

Strella nodded convincingly as she narrowed her eyes.

"I see.... Did you get it?"

"Uu... why only me..."

"Maybe you, Hermes, like me."

"Oh no...."

While the two of you are doing such an exchange, the time comes.The quiet slowly spread into the noisy venue, and the participants swallowed the saliva at once.

Although the participants were originally monsters, there were many adults.For humans, monsters and animals tend to be perceived as militant creatures, but they are actually cowardly creatures.And now, in front of them, Hermes, the natural enemy —— or boss.So, like elementary school students in any world, they can't afford to talk forever, and they just shut up with nature.If you do something like that forever, it's obvious that you'll be watched instantly like a sakura...

Looking at the sight, Hermes smiled satisfied--

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for a special lecture.Today, I hope that you will learn the content of the lecture and return home to use it in your future work. "

—— I started lecturing with those words in mind.
