Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The next morning.

Well then, let's go!

In order to travel somewhere, the party dug up a dwelling on the ground (?) I have been here till now. The members are Lucia, Teresa, and Josephine. Waltz didn't go out to answer the phone, and Asteria also seemed to want to learn a lot from the waltz, so she decided to answer the phone.

The three men who had climbed to the ground opened the door of the temporary residence and went out to the front. At that time, they opened the door slowly, concerned about the development like when the students attacked them yesterday... Fortunately, no one seemed to be there. Apparently, everyone was under the influence of Teresa's magic, and they were quietly tucked away at home.

Instead, there were villagers walking around the village, and they seemed to be doing their business as usual. When Lucia looked at the sight, the village chief accidentally passed in front of the building where they were, and she suddenly said hello.

"Good morning, Mr. Mayor."

The village chief looked at Lucia and the others with his eyes wide open. Because yesterday, the students stopped by and attacked the temporary houses of Lucia, and everyone knew that they had left the place as if nothing had happened. At that time, Lucia and the villagers thought that they had been taken by the students. After all, the students are the future candidates for high-ranking officers of the Grand Duchy of Restophen. When something happens, you're authorized to exercise your right to arrest, so it's no surprise that you arrested and forcibly brought Lucia and the others.

However, contrary to their expectations, Lucia and the others were still alive. It was too unexpected for the village chief and other villagers. As a result, the village chief turned his gaze to Lucia as if he had seen a ghost.

By the way, there was also Josephine beside Lucia, but the village chief and other villagers did not notice that she was the Grand Duke of this country. Apparently, the position at the village chief level doesn't meet the Grand Duke.

As a result, the village chief decided to put the presence of the unfamiliar person 3 and 4, Josephine and Teresa, on the side for the time being. After taking a while to respond, he began to respond to Lucia.

"Ah, ahhh... good morning"

"Um... looks pale, but are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah... I'd rather ask you the other way, were you okay yesterday?" It seemed like a lot of students from the academy were pushing..... "

"Ah, yes, I've had you all go home, so I'm fine."

”Oh, is that so...?”

"How on earth did you get me to pull it up..." The village chief thought while striking a match.

He didn't know that Teresa's spiritual magic existed, so he thought that he had sent the students home in a way other than magic. Within that, most of the possibilities will be narrowed.... a way to get all the students home quietly. "How Lucia and the others can stay here without any problems..."

"(...... you're still in quite a position!)"

The misunderstanding of the village chief circles around and converges into a correct answer in a sense.

Then, the village chief wondered if Lucia and the others were coming to this village to hide their identities, because they didn't see any signs of being aware of the relationship between them. As a result, he decided to deal with Lucia and the villagers in a very natural way, without flirting or behaving poorly.

By the way, you don't have a sister Waltz today, do you?

"Yeah. He's on the phone today." By the way, Waltz, you're older than me. "

"Well, was it on the left?" This is disrespectful. Who are you two? "

"Well, this is Teresa, the one who hits my sister."

"...... please do me a favor." I'll do it.

"So, this way..."

Lucia turned to Josephine in bewilderment. It was clear from the mayor's reaction that he didn't know about Josephine, so he wondered if it would be a good idea to be honest with her.

Josephine smiled as she understood the meaning of the gaze from Lucia --

"Please call me Josephine." She is the daughter of a merchant. I'll be sure to get to know you later. "

—— Somewhere she talks happily. Apparently, Josephine had a kind of admiration for using a pseudonym to blend into Ichii. Especially if it's a pseudonym or a subtlety.
