Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

While Teresa ate lunch alone, the party flew around the town and village one after the other. A village built on a swamp, two towns built across a large river, a mining city in a strange rocky area, a port town with a port but no ships, etc... Since the stay was at most half an hour, it was not a sightseeing tour, and it was a good situation to say that it was almost passing, but Josephine was still satisfied... She seemed to have narrowed her eyes with great joy when she saw the appearance of her own people living a fruitful life in any environment.

I circled the country, and it was time for me to go home. Tonight, Josephine is scheduled to return to the castle of the capital, but Josephine herself has decided to return to the village where the waltzes are waiting. It was Waltz who caused the trouble, but he said that he still wanted to give thanks because he had a meaningful time in the last three days.

As a result, the three flew towards the village in the evening sky and descended into the invisible suburbs, walking back to the village on the street. The village is about 100m away. When she came to such a place, Lucia suddenly opened her mouth.

”Hey... isn't it quiet?”

"Don't wait, Miss Lucia." Lord, do you remember that I didn't like horror stories? "

"I don't like it... but I really think it's too quiet." At this hour, I feel like everyone is rushing home and getting noisy, but it's like being quiet with the scene... no. nothing.... "

"... it's like the whole village is dead."

"... yeah? Something?"/(adv-to, adv, vs) (1) (on-mim) groaning/groaning/(2) (on-mim

…………

Not only in the village, but also in Teresa. There seemed to be some reason I had to keep my mouth shut.

Apart from that, it was an undisputed fact that the village was strangely quiet. There was no one in the village who was rushing home, and everyone could not even turn on the lamp, not even the door of the house. Although there was no sign of people at all, everyone seemed to be killing their breath, and in the quiet village, there was an indescribable sense of tension or a sign that could be described as creepy.

Lucia and the others felt unpleasant signs at first. In particular, Josephine seemed to be unfamiliar with these situations, holding her hands close in front of her chest.

Something happened in the village while we were gone--no, it's happening... The three were convinced and rushed home with utmost vigilance. Then, the three people who came to the front of the house opened their eyes to see the scene that was unfolding there.

A pile of corpses. The scene of the corpses spread out in front of the house.

"I-I 'm dead...?!"

Lucia unexpectedly backed away. Villagers I don't know —— villagers with armor all over their bodies (?), but there were dozens and hundreds of people lying in front of the house.

Especially--,

"No, don't wait." It's like he's not dead. "

--If you could see the situation, it would be a different story.

Huh?

"No one seems to be dead." On the contrary, it seems that everyone is not injured. I'm just passing out... that's how it feels. "

After Teresa told me so. When Lucia and Josephine approached those who were lying nearby and checked their pulse and breathing, they seemed to be alive. When she noticed that, Lucia let out a big sigh.

For Josephine, too, the villagers (?) appeared to be relieved after confirming that the patient was alive. She seemed to have noticed something else. It is unclear what she noticed. Her gaze was on the villagers (?) Let's just say it was nailed to the armor that came.

And when Josephine tries to open her mouth to say something. Things take a sharp turn.

It's soggy...

Something stupidly moving sound echoed in the place. In analogy —— it's like a monster hiding in a bush.
