Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

In a pile of corpses piled up on the ground (?) The party that was talking was worried that the villagers would ask if they talked too much, and the Kingsguard might wake up, so they went down to the underground space. One of the reasons Josephine came down to the basement was that she wanted to say a word to the Asteria and Beastmen she had taken care of before returning to the capital.

At that time, the behavior of the waltz became suspicious for some reason. It was as if Josephine and Lucia didn't want me to come into the underground space, or even the atmosphere.

It is natural.

"" "... ahhh" "

Not only in the ground, but also in the underground space, there were many corpses.

No, what the hell is going on?!

Onee-chan?!

”Ahh... my concubine has somehow figured it out”

"... a little bit. There was a lot going on." A lot. By the way, you're not dead, are you? "

And Waltz said, and took out a false staff, which he had made for the beasts, and presented it unto Josephine.

Josephine? Can you try this wand and let go of the magic?

"What? Why on earth..."

Well, it's okay. It's okay.

Josephine, who had been given a staff by the Waltz, was puzzled, but when she received the staff, she used it to--

Shh, shh, shh!

--Got a small fireball.

Is this all right?

Is there anything that makes it easy for magic to emerge, or is it difficult for you to emerge?

"That's right..." If you look at it, it feels like it's easy to produce magic, and it feels like it's not... "I think it's the same as a regular cane that's on the market.”

"... people here, this is what happens when you use this wand"

Ehh...

"Wait a minute!" In other words, did the Beastmen use magic?! "

Josephine was the only one who was so surprised that she was stuck in the waltz. She was surprised by something else, unlike Lucia or Teresa.

"Yeah. I used it more than usual. There, the crater, the burnt ground, the collapsed walls. That's all because they used magic."

"Such... how can a Beastman use magic..."

"Speaking of which, Asteria said that beasts can't use magic." Well, I could actually use it. "

"I can't believe it..." If that were true, the treatment of the beasts of this country... no, the treatment of the beasts of this continent would be radically different. ”

"Be careful not to overdo it, right? And then... that wand... it's a fake?"

"" "... fake?" "

"I see. It's just a stick I made by scraping a tree that was rolling on the road." I carved something that looked like a cane, but it didn't mean anything in particular? "

"Why are you doing this..."

"You made something like this..." Josephine frowned, not knowing why she wanted to make a fake wand. Her expression might have contained two kinds of confusion, the first being that she did not understand why the waltz used a fake cane. And the second was that the fake cane was as user-friendly as the commonly available cane.

I wanted to prove that I could use magic without a cane.

"Even without a cane, you can use magic...?"

Look, Lucia and Teresa didn't bother to use their wands to use their magic.

Waltzes looking up into space. There was an artificial sun floating there, created by Lucia without a cane... Josephine's face, who looked up at the universe like a waltz, was reluctantly illuminated.
