Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The sunset can be seen from the 6th inch of the mountain.The figure of Potentia floating in the sky from there, even though it was black from the beginning, it looked extra black because of the backlight.To put it another way, it's like a battleship with concentrated darkness falling from the sky like chasing the sun as it sinks into the horizon.

Potentia, far away from the refugees on the mountain road, did not seem to be launching any attack on the Éclair flying boat.It was just that he appeared quietly near the fleet of flying boats.Even though it's just that--

DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

--Ecleria's flying boats burst into flames and slowly descended to the ground.Yes, it didn't fall.He got off.Rather than sinking the flying vessel, Potentia softly landed the flying vessel in an attempt to protect the people inside.

But from a distance, on top of the mountains, no one knew what Potentia was doing.Just by showing up, the scene of the flying boats descending without being able to do anything was burning in the eyes of the refugees.

Then, after all the airships have descended to the ground, Potentia descends to the ground, following them - no.The darkness that fell from the sky spread to the ground, spread to the plain on the spot, and dyed the earth pitch-black as if a large amount of ink had shone on the ground.

Nevertheless, it was also a momentary event.The next moment, the remnants of the black potentia (?) disappeared, and as if nothing had happened, only the restored land spread out on the spot.The Éclair flying boat, which was supposed to have fallen, has disappeared from the scene, and even the signs of combat have disappeared cleanly.

The silence came. I can barely hear the sound of battle anymore.All you can hear is the sound of the wind. The refugees watched the sunset without talking to anyone.

Then, after the sun had set, someone said:... let's go back.

◇

I'm not sure, but it looks like you guys came home on your own?

"Really, it's a mystery..." Did you do something to the refugees? "

No, nothing.

That night, Potentia and Strella were drinking tea again in a tent in the headquarters.It's like having a drink after a day of work.

"If you've done anything special, you've wiped out Éclair's reinforcements, not the refugees.Ah, there are wolf-shaped monsters in the surrounding area right now, but please don't hunt them because they are in trouble for food.Because it is a cradle of meat made of raw materials to prevent reincarnation. "

"... are you a psychopath?"

"No, I can't accurately evaluate my temperament, so I don't know if it's a psychopath or not.By the way, I did not devise this case, but Master Nicole and Master Catalina's proposal. "

"Nicole...? Ah, that Mutsuri Sage."Sure enough, those two are going to think of such a disgusting plan..... "

Strella was strangely convinced by Potentia's explanation.In particular, as soon as I heard the name Catalina, I had a look on my face that looked like it had fallen to Ston and Tsubaki.There must have been something in my mind.

Then Strella took a cup of tea and wet her lips.To Potentia--no, I said this loudly and deliberately, so that the people around me could hear it.

"Well... now that we have suppressed the Combinate, we have lightly prevented the counter-attack from Eccleria, and the destruction is progressing smoothly all over Eccleria... I think it's time to take it down.""The capital of Éclair —— Aquilegia"
