Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

A command post tent in a refugee camp. Underneath that--,

"... totally unexpected..."Why did everyone start crossing the border without following the instructions? "

Huh?

—— Strella and Potentia couldn't hide their surprise when they heard from their subordinate monsters that the refugees had all started crossing into the Mercrio Kingdom.Neither of them understood why the refugees had suddenly started crossing the border.

The other day, Potentia had already prevented the refugees from crossing the border once and survived safely (?) The refugees who had returned to the camp were amazed to tell the other refugees what had happened in the mountains on the border.I said, I saw something terrible.And I heard it, as a cry, which I think not of the man of the world.I mean, things like being attacked by a group of monsters... "How horrifyingly they told the people of the camp of the events that had taken place near the top of the mountain range.

Because of this, the desire of the people in the camp to cross the border was frustrating.That's Strella and Potentia's plan.Potentia would have threatened the refugees to become a psychological deterrent to cross-border activities.

However, I was relieved that the operation was a success.When I opened the lid, the threat of fear did not become any brake...Potentia seems to have figured out what went wrong with their plan.

Is it still difficult to tie people up with fear...

"What are you talking about, like some kind of dictator..."

We gave our lives to the refugees who tried to cross the border without following orders.

”That's a terrible way to say it... well, that's actually true, but...”

But the refugees didn't listen to us.

…………

"It seemed like it would work for a while, but why did you suddenly stop listening to me..."I don't know that. "

"Surely, you know what Poté wants to say?"Everyone was listening to the stories of the refugees who had failed to cross the border and returned to the camp.That feeling... it didn't seem like I wanted to cross the border myself.... yeah, that's right. I mean, I didn't want to cross the border myself, but I had to, didn't I? "

”I see... but why do you think so?”

"You don't know that..."

That's right.

Potentia and Strella both tilted their necks.I couldn't understand why they were pushing the refugees into crossing the border.Why did the refugees suddenly want to cross the border...?

"Um... can I have a moment?"

--Sakura, who works under Strella's command, sandwiches her mouth.

What are you both worried about?

"What... it's not why the refugees wanted to cross the border."I've explained many times that I can't cross the border, and I've heard scary stories from people who actually tried to cross the border, but I'm bothered because I don't know why I started crossing the border at once.Were you listening to me? "

Strella turned her blameless gaze to Sakura.Even though we're having an important conversation comparable to an operation conference, it's a linguistic mistake not to listen.

But the suckler doesn't move. Anyway, she--

"I'm sorry, Mr. Strella."I've been listening to you from the beginning, but I don't know why Strella can't understand the situation.... "

Because I understood why I was in this situation.

As a result, Sakura politely explained the situation to Strella.Potentia also helped me to get the rusty black insects out and say that the refugees fled because of their disgust and the overwhelming mass of the Battleship Potentia.However, it seems that Strella did not have any particular refusal reaction to the insects or the battleship, and the black form of Potentia (?) It seems that she didn't change her complexion at all, rather than moving.

And Sakura understood. This time,

"(This is not only because of Poté-sama, but also because of Strella-sama who has no understanding of disgust and fear......"
