Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Once the beasts had returned to their homes, the waltzes rushed out of the house again. Because we have to gather ingredients to make furniture.
In the meantime, with regard to wood, it seemed that if the tall conifers were cut down appropriately and dried with Lucia's magic, they could get as much as they wanted, but it was certain that it would be faster to buy the cotton or cloth (for 30 people) that was needed to make the futon, for example, than to make it yourself.
As a result, the waltzes decided to go to a nearby town and buy what they needed. At the same time, it can be said that it is the way of nature to talk about seeing the state of the official capital.
By gravity-controlled magic, the two flew again to the official capital (?) Yesterday, Lucia went through a huge moat.
Standing in the shadow of a hill that could not be seen directly from the city, the waltzes stepped out of it and checked the state of the city. Then, you can still see a lot of monsters flocking to the edge of the moat that surrounds the town. Rather, it should be said that it was even more than yesterday.
The monsters there were cow monsters like bison. The monsters were so muscular and temperamental that nothing remained after the herd ran.
It is not that they were angry and trembling to attack the city. Rather, it's like looking around and being scared or wary of something. There seemed to be no appearance of people hiding in the official city in their eyes as they clung together in one place.
On the other hand, it seems that for people living in the capital, whatever the "ground bison" was thinking, there was no difference between them being a threat. Lucia's work over the moat doesn't seem to be progressing as much as she thinks, because she cares about the ground bison. It seems that some people were standing inside and outside the moat in the opposite direction to the direction where the ground bison were flocking, but they were not hanging a ladder on the moat, nor were they hanging a rope... Ah, no, no, it was just an argument. It would be difficult to cross a moat that was too deep and wide except for the current situation of transfer magic.
Looking at the situation, Waltz and Lucia discuss it.
"Um... isn't that a bit pathetic?" I think you're having a hard time..... "
"It's a reward for bullying people with ears and tails!" I think it's only natural to have a little trouble! "Punchka
"But what should we do? You can't get in through that big gate like this, right?" Even if the body (yes) can use transfer magic, I think there is no doubt that it will be suspicious... Don't you feel confident that when you're questioned, you'll be able to come up with a proper excuse? ”
”Hmm, well then, at this time, do you want to transfer all those walls and get out of the way?”
"...... Lucia. I don't know who you resemble, but let's go a little more peacefully." Definitely, the whole town will be in chaos, and it's not a place to shop. "
Waltz held his head in front of Lucia, who uttered a radical statement. I was wondering who he looked like, but somehow he remembered.
"After all, I think we have to cross the wall and get inside." But if you fly away, you'll find out soon enough... "Asteria-san, as soon as I flew in the sky, I squatted with my ears closed....."
"That's right, no flying." Well then, I guess we'll just have to go inside the ground anyway. "
"I see... ah, but it's fine to make a hole in the ground, but when you get out, is it okay?" If you go underneath the house or directly under the people in the town, it's going to be a big deal. "
"Sure... (If I could at least use the hologram, I could do any optical camouflage I wanted...)"
After exchanging such exchanges and troubles, the waltzes thought --
Shall we make a hole in the wall and go inside?
"Huh? Didn't you say backing down the wall would be a fuss?"
I don't know if I can throw it all away, but maybe it's just a small hole, right?
--In the end, while digging underground with earth magic, I aimed at the outermost part of the wall surrounding the city and went to the surface, and decided to enter the city by drilling a hole in the wall from there. At that time, Lucia seemed to have a lot to say about her sister's idea, but she couldn't care less... You seem to have decided to hang out quietly.
