Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The party headed to the Restofen Central Magic Academy. It's a few hours' walk from the village where the waltzes were to the academy.

The academy was attended by Grand Duke Josephine, Waltz, Lucia and Teresa, as well as Kingsguard Knight Commander Balestre and several other knights. Or perhaps alone.

I'll go with Asteria.

"... what?"

The beast girl, Asteria, was also to go.

Why, me too?

"Why... are you joining the Academy together?"

Yes?!

We need to show the Beastman that he can use magic and make him say gaahn!

"Wait, please wait!" Isn't that enough for Master Lucia and Master Teresa?! "

"Hmm, I don't think we can do this..." Because we're not nationals of this country, and we can use magic from the beginning.... "

"Um, uh..."

"Look! I'm coming without telling you!"

and Lucia, who forcibly asks to be accompanied by Asteria.

Teresa, who was watching her behavior--

"... it feels like Miss A is getting violent day by day." But besides the concubine...... "Fufufu

--What's with that suspicious smile... The knights who were watching Teresa were looking at her as if they were seeing something pathetic. Well, it didn't look like he had noticed.

As a result, about 30 people, including the Kingsguard, headed to the academy. The remaining Knights and Beasts are in the cellar in a village with underground spaces.

The party went out on the ground and rented a carriage in the village. Get Josephine and Asteria on board and head to the Academy.

The carriage I borrowed was by no means a big one. It was the best carriage I could find for ten people. Even so, it is the largest of the carriages in the village. If it becomes larger than this, it is said that there are only carriages for long-distance rides, wagons for caravans, and military wagons. Of course, there are no such carriages in the village.

In the case of the waltzes, I was able to walk without any problems at a distance of a few hours without renting a wagon. Still, the reason I borrowed the carriage was because I thought about Josephine's strength. In her usual desk work, it's hard to keep walking for just a few hours. Even the hundreds of meters of stairs from the underground house to the ground are out of breath, which is a natural response.

"" "Aaaaahhhh..." "

--The fact that the fully equipped knights were exhausted was something they hadn't seen before.

Moreover, the calamity that struck them was not over. The academy is built on a mountain overlooking the lake. In other words, the uphill slope goes on and on.

"" "Aaaaahhhh..." "

"Something... don't we all die before we get there?"

Waltz muttered to himself, wondering if the knights who followed him could no longer ignore the desperate shape they were chasing.

She seemed to be floating in the air under the influence of Lucia's gravity-controlled magic. Lucia did the same. Teresa was floating with me, fluttering and weakened.

Sure, they're all in trouble, aren't they?

“Why don't you help me?

"Hmm? It's unusual for Teresa to be kind to others, isn't it?"

"No, I don't remember making it harsh..."

After such an exchange, Lucia applies a little gravity control magic to the knights. Specifically, I applied magic to halve my weight.

As a result--

”Uuuuu?!”

--And suddenly, the knights, who had become lighter, bounced and rolled in Moonwalk... I was going to show a little confusion.

Especially if it's a short time. Soon they will learn how to use a lighter body and chase the carriage. However, in their own way.
