Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And the point of view returned to the waltzes.

Walking along the hallway with Waltz was Catalina, who entered the building with her, and Cortex, who rushed along the way using transfer props.Strella, who was exploring with them earlier, is teaming up with her direct reports Pochi and Sakura to explore another part of the building.Although not popular, this is Altair's castle.No matter what trap was hidden, there was no way that there would be a sudden raid, so Strella thought about what would happen and decided to work with the inexperienced porcupines and cherries.

After splitting into two teams, the Waltzes were advancing through the basement of the building, and Strella's team was exploring the ground.It seems that Waltz saw the darkness of the underpass and remembered what happened about a year ago.

By the way, you were walking in a place with that atmosphere, right?

"Mr. Waltz, every time you walk down the tunnel, do you tell me that story?"

"Is that so?" Well, I certainly don't remember anything like that... "

"Without me, are you two alone in the conversation?"Is it a new, abandoned game? "

"I don't mean to do this at all, though?"Ah... Cortex doesn't have to know.The first time we learned of Altair's existence under Mid-Eden's Royal Castle was before you were completed. ”

"Are you talking about that?" Indeed, it is a case that all of the royalty and their associates, including the concubine (Teresa) 's parents, were killed by a succubus somehow manipulated by Al ~.I've taken over the records from onee-sama, right? "

"Speaking of which, you only gave me memories..."I don't want to think about it many times.At that time, it was like this, and the cool air filled the underground tunnels. "

There was no indication that she was sad about the waltz that she was saying, and she simply remembered what had happened.Until recently, she regretted that Eden, who spoke of Lucia and her grandmother, had disappeared, but now she has managed to clear it.

Looking at the Waltz's reaction, Catalina seemed to be lifting her mouth slightly.I was relieved because my usual waltz seemed to be back.

Then, Catalina takes the topic of the waltz and suddenly raises a question.

"Speaking of which, what was Al doing at that time, somehow, to bring the royals of Mid-eden to life?"

"Of course, you were trying to make homunculus, right?"According to Yuki and the others, it takes a lot of human sacrifice to make a single Homunculus..... "

Is it finished?

"Well then. At that time, the brave men said they had been severely injured by a child they had never seen before...... Ah, yes."Al ○○(pea) I should have asked myself before I wiped Le out. "

"Sure...... but it seems that none of the four homunculus-like pairs with the Great Sage were similar to your concubine...... maybe--"

"Whoa, Catalina. You can't say anything else because it's going to be a flag."

Waltz seems to have had some bad instincts about what Catalina said.

Fortunately (?) Catalina succeeds in stopping her words along the way without saying anything.Therefore, it seems that Waltz decided to change the subject so as not to flag it any more strangely.

"By the way, I already got rid of Altair, so can I say my name now?"It's a hassle to beep all the time..... "

"That's true, too. But recently, I've gotten used to saying," Al, do something about this. "

That was right after Catalina smiled bitterly.

Grrrr!!

The sound of something hard hitting each other echoes through the place.

Waltz and Catalina turned in the direction in which they could hear the sound and unexpectedly solidified.It's as if you can already hear the piercing sound.

Anyway, the sound source--,

"Aaaahhhh! Who are you already?! The one who hit me on the head with a pile ~!"

--The sound of an iron stake flying out of nowhere crashing into the back of Cortex's head. In other words--

"Hey?! Al○○ (pea) Le, you can't defeat me!"

--That was synonymous with the survival of Demon King Altair.
