Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Dodo dodo dodo...

"Well! What a nature!"

"Onee-chan... are you happy to see that?"

"... are you kidding me? I might have been impressed if I had seen it through the monitor?" (... no, don't you think about it after all...) "

Seeing the monsters moving around, Waltz felt as if they were people. That's all she can afford.

Lucia, on the other hand, looked at the swarm of monsters coming, but she was not afraid. Rather, she was thinking about how she could minimize her sacrifice by fighting the monsters that were attacking her. If we make a mistake, we'll have to destroy every neighborhood, not every town, and rewrite the map.

"What should I do?"

If you don't do anything here, why don't you just leave me alone?

"What about the people in the town?"

"It's like everyone's been running away." The people inside the walls... well, maybe they'll be fine. "

Outside the large walls that surrounded the city, there were settlements, but there were no signs of people there. They must have known the monsters were coming and fled to the city or to a place where they were not attacked.

Waltz and Lucia came to such a place. From those who didn't know them, they might have looked the same as if they were trapped in a beast's cage.

The waltzes seemed to understand how they were perceived by the soldiers on the wall. After all, while the two of them were having an uncontrolled conversation, voices came out saying, "Run," "Don't stop," "Run," "Over there."

If we don't get out of here, I wonder if they're weird?

"I see..."

They told me to run, but if I ran through the meadow and ran away and didn't hide somewhere, I wouldn't be swallowed up by a group of monsters without my stamina (but in the case of ordinary humans). So, if the soldiers point in the right direction, there's something like a shelter.

If there was no shelter and no place to hide, and I was just telling you to run and run, what would you do later...? "Waltz thought about it and said to Lucia:

Shall we run as we're told?

Yeah. That's right.

Waltz and Lucia nodded to each other and ran out.

Soldiers pointed in a tangential direction to the wall that gurgled around the perimeter of the town. In other words, if you run along the wall, there must be something ahead of you.

The two of them who had decided so ran for the time being. However, it wasn't a desperate run to escape from the monsters, but a light jog.

But--,

"Aaahhhhhh..."

"Um... Lucia? Are you okay?"

"I, I, I might not be able to do it anymore..."

—— Even though she wasn't running very much, Lucia was somehow full of creativity.

"Hmph, because I usually move floating in the air, I feel short of breath as soon as I run..."

”... that's the kind of person who needs to exercise, isn't it?”

"Um, yeah, that's what Teresa told me the other day..."

Basically, wizards tend to have less health than swordsmen and spearmen who fight with their bodies. Because you don't need to train your body. Lucia is a typical example of this. Moreover, if you think of her as a normal girl who moves from her usual movement to her using magic (?) I dared not use gravity control magic to play. It seems that the physical exercise was too hard to do.

Still, Lucia ran. No, I was able to run. Fortunately, there was a waltz beside her, and she manipulated gravity to a certain extent, lifting Lucia's body. As expected, even if Lucia lost half her weight, she could run without any problems.

As they ran around the outer wall, they could see a certain scene in their eyes. The entrance to a different town was built at the gate, and there were people there.

"Could that be--"

"That's..."

"Beastman..."

What was gathered was a completely different species, similar to the —— people. Your body is covered with scales and you have hair all over your body...... Although you walk on two legs, it is obvious that you are a subordinate to the beast. Those were the ones called "The Beastmen" who lived on this continent.

They were gathered together in front of the gate, and cried out for salvation unto the soldiers that were upon the wall, whether they could let them into the city. That's where the waltzes came in. The two of them seemed to be unable to hide their confusion, and they approached the gathering of the beasts.
