Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Whoa, this development again?" No, Lucia! I'll pull the arrow out of Josephine, please! "

It's healing magic, isn't it? All right! Teresa-chan! "

"Eh... concubine, your tail isn't perfect, so there's no way to deal with this number of people--r"

Be a shield!

"Ah, yeah... I felt like it was that way..."

After Josephine fell to the soldiers' arrows, the waltzes moved fast. Waltz pulled out an arrow from Josephine's abdomen, and Lucia suddenly applied recovery magic, and Teresa--

Bummer!

"...... if it wasn't for my concubine......"

--Stretch your body and become a shield... "With such collaboration, Josephine was immediately rescued.

"Hah, hah... no, why on earth..."

"I'll put that question to you later!" We're gonna get out of here once and for all! Lucia! Let's get out of here! "

Yeah!

The moment Lucia nodded, a storm blew around her. "Strong" is not an easy wind. It was a blast. Focusing on Lucia's gatherings, an unstoppable blast of wind blew towards the surroundings.

To put it in perspective, it was as if the rocket engine had ignited. The soldiers blew up as they should, the castle terrace collapsed, and the roof of the castle blew up without a trace.

Waltzing up in the sky with Lucia's gravity-controlled magic activated with the wind, Waltz rushed to Lucia, looking down at the sight from the sky.

"Le, Lucia?! You're a little overdone!"

"It's okay! There's a healing magic, there shouldn't be any dead people!"

"There are no dead people, but there are others..."

"Well, I guess you deserved it..." With that in mind, Waltz turned to Josephine, who was in his arms.

"It was a shame, wasn't it?" Josephine, it looks like you're gone by the time you get home. "

But the waltz made me happy inside. I realized that it might be our fault that Josephine lost her place.

However, even if it did, it was strange that Josephine should be attacked by soldiers. Josephine was targeted first before Waltz, Lucia, and Teresa, who could be described as trespassers. It's not a stray bullet. By design.

Furthermore, when Josephine collapsed after receiving an arrow, the soldiers who were watching did not see the upset color. It was as if he was trying to hurt Josephine from the beginning.

...... As Waltz gazed at Josephine, wondering if he could use such an excuse, Josephine, staring at the shining figure of the capital, began to chatter.

"... I still can't believe it, but it looks like I've been kicked out of the group like Waltz-sama said."

"Ngh?!"

"... no, I can't believe it. It's a flawed expression..." I knew it. There's no way I'm so loyal to everyone... "

"(Oh, that's heavy...)"

Josephine's mass didn't change, but Waltz felt the weight on her arm.

At the same time, Waltz thought.

"(What shall we do now...?)"

I had to take care of Josephine, not just the beasts. "I don't know what to do now..." I can say that it was only natural to be troubled.
