Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"(... what is a beastman in this country...?)"

Lucia suddenly wondered.... what is the definition of Beastman in the country where we are now? From the reaction of the villagers, Jack and the Millenia who attacked in the morning, it seems that I am definitely in the category of a Beastman, but I feel that I am mistaken... Seeing the students react differently than they expected, Lucia seemed to feel such a certainty.

In any case, thanks to the students' remarks that Lucia was a human, the anger that had controlled Lucia until recently was now much softer. Should I say it's because of that (?), Lucia, who appeared in front of the students, suddenly unleashed magic... She was able to speak calmly of the protest.

"I've heard from you before that everyone says something they like, but I'm not a slave or anything!"

Lucia said that and swelled her cheeks.

The students on the other side all gave a warm expression, looked at each other at once, and began to talk about something. Apparently, they were in the same group —— or a group of people in the same group -- and they were close enough to talk face-to-face.

Lucia looked back at her sister, who hadn't come out of the bushes behind her, as she watched her--

(Onee-chan, aren't you coming out?)

"(No, I, look, I know a lot of people... and I'm not good at situations like this...)"

"(Speaking of which, you said that before......)"

--If you have such an exchange with my sister...

"Are you from this village?" It's the first time I've seen it..... "

One of the students who finished the consultation —— a serious girl student asked Lucia a question.

Lucia was worried about how to respond to the query. Strictly speaking, Lucia is not from the village. It's a Mid-Eden Republic man.

However, from now on, she wanted to sit in this village for a while. In that sense, it could not be said that it was the people of the village, but since there was no sign of acceptance by the villagers, it would be a lie to say that it was the people of the village.

As a result, Lucia--,

"... I got lost and arrived in this village." I want to live here from now on. "

--You decide to keep your waltz setting straight.

The female student, while showing an atmosphere of honor somewhere, uttered these words.

"Oh, you got lost..." I thought you were just the one who ran away from the academy. "

"College?"

"Oh, I didn't even know about the academy..." Isn't he from this country? Well, you're a well-dressed beast, but you only look like a human, so you can have it... Um... the Academy is that building? "

After saying a lot of bumps, the girl pointed at a building that looked like a large castle built on a high ground. It was a little difficult to see from the village, but it seemed to be somehow visible from the gap between the trees.

Wasn't it a castle?

"I heard it used to be a castle, but now it's different." The Central Magic Academy. The best school of magic in the Grand Duchy of Restofen. And we are students of that school. Well, I'm still in elementary school. "

The schoolgirl stretched her chest when she said that. In her chest, there was a golden dragon crest, which seemed to be evidence that she was a student of the college. Seeing that the girl with the chest up was very proud, she would have to dive through the narrow gate to enter the Central Magic Academy.

"I see..."

"I see a lot of things..." It was when Lucia thought about it.

Rusty, rusty.....

The forest surrounding the village has become noisy. It seems that--,

"What?! Yes, Chairman! Looks like they're after us!"

"Grady Monkey again? You're really persistent..." Anyway, everybody ready for battle! I'll protect the village! "

--Maybe the monkeys came to the village after the students.
