Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... sorry, Waltz-sama." What the hell is this all about...? "
Seeing the beasts lying on the ground without moving, the Commander of the Knights frowned. It seems to smell like an incident.
On the other hand, it seemed that Waltz could feel the deputy voice in the words of the Commander of the Knights.... you're the culprit, aren't you? Therefore she speaks a word of denial, though she is not suspected otherwise.
"No, it's not me." (I may be the reason, but...) Look at everyone's faces. You're falling down with such a nice face, aren't you? "
"Hmm... sure... maybe with dangerous drugs--"
"You're not doing that, are you?!"
Waltz calmly reviewing the situation while saying that as a result--,
"(Unconscious beasts... a trance expression... a suspect to deny... ah, yeah)"
—— Understand that it is a situation that is suspected and natural.
Um, magic? Magic?
"... I've heard rumors, but the magic that has the same effect as dangerous drugs--"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The beasts used their magic." I used my magic, used up all my magic, and fainted. Sleeping with a good face is the first time I've been able to use magic. Is this all right? Have you solved the misunderstanding? "
"... it would be very surprising if the story were true... what kind of magic did they use, by the way?"
"(Ah... this person still doubts me...)"
I can't dispel the suspicion once and for all... Josephine interrupted the conversation with a bitter smile as Waltz bothered her.
"Ballestur. They used offensive magic and lost their magic power." Look at the walls and the ground around them. It's burnt black or crumbled unnaturally, right? It was all done by the beasts. "
"(Ballestur... oh, that's the name of this regiment commander, right?)"
Apparently, the Knight Commander's name was Balestre. Waltz had been hearing his name on the ground for a while, but he seemed to have missed it because he wasn't very interested.
"Is that so after all..." I didn't expect the Beastman to be able to use magic..... "
"(After all... you knew it wasn't my fault!)"
Though I thought it was a waltz, I thought it would be nice to complain to the Commander of the Knights soon after we met, but I swallowed the words.
Instead, Josephine continues to explain.
"Since both Lucia and Teresa can use magic, there's no reason our beasts can't use magic." We were governed by what we called common sense and assumptions. This country is going to change a lot in the future. ”
…………
Knight Commander Balestre was silent, staring at a small crater on the ground. The reason is uncertain, but it seems certain that something big enough to silence him was on the spot.
It's just... Waltz was staring at Ballestol as he gazed down at the ground, but he hadn't switched heads yet.
"This person is still looking for ingredients to suspect me..."
He thought that Ballestol was trying to poke himself in the corner of the heavy box.
On the other hand, Barestle exhaled and denied Waltz's words. However, the spines didn't seem to have disappeared.
"No, because Josephine is trusted, we also trust her."... even if I didn't know what country they came from and what they did... "
And secretly, "Who are you guys?” Balestru asks.
In contrast, the waltz--
"That's why I'm not suspicious..."
—— She continued to dig graves, responding like a suspect template.
