Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

On that day, Josephine and the knights stayed at the academy and decided to meet late at night. The noble teachers rushed to contact their territory and that of their acquaintances, and the information was supposed to reach them as early as at night. "The Josephines who wanted the information as soon as possible waited for it to arrive..." As a result, they seemed to end up sleeping at the college.

Waltzes were also advised to stay in the college dormitory, but flying a few minutes to a village with underground spaces —— no, a few tens of seconds away -- the four of them, Waltz, Lucia, Teresa, and Asteria, were to return home.... it's not because I don't want to sleep in a place that Waltz doesn't know about.

"After all, I'll limit myself to my home."

Waltz, returning to the underground space, sat in a chair as he entered his home, sighed heavily, and sat at the table. He was mentally exhausted because of everything that happened in the course of the day.

By the way, on his way back home, Waltz was asked about the situation of the Josephines by the knights in the answering machine, but when he handed them a letter from Josephine, the knights seemed to have quickly convinced themselves to back down. If this had been convincing without a letter, they would not have been convinced by the fact that the Waltzes had a prior record.

"Hey, onee-chan. Do you need anything to prepare for tomorrow?"

Lucia asks Waltz.

Waltz then turned toward Lucia while holding on to her desk and responded to her sister's question with a half-melted expression.

"Well, that's okay, isn't it?" "It seems that the language hasn't changed in this country..." Ah, yes, I have to study Asteria alone. ”

When Waltz said so, Asteria asked anxiously.

"... can I really remember the letters by tomorrow?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I'll get ready now, so just wait a minute." Lucia? Can I have a paper and a pen? "

Lucia took a bundle of paper and a pen out of the pochette in response to the waltz that kept her mouth shut. Her Pochette is full of spatial expansion enchants, so there's a lot of stuff in it.

Waltz puts the writing instruments he received from Lucia on his desk and starts writing something on the paper, looking sloppy.

However, her writing speed was tremendous. It takes about one second to write letters with machine tool tension accuracy and speed, and to write something on a page. Apparently, if you try to speed up more, the pen won't hold.

The laser printer also wrote the manuscript at a surprising rate (?) is approximately 20 sheets. She handed it over to the Asteria, remaining still.

"Yes, this. Please read it by tomorrow?"

"I can't read the first reading... but..."

“It's okay, it's okay. You'll see.”

What does it mean to know if you can't read? Asteria glanced through the paper, leaning her neck against such a contradiction.

This is the moment.

"Ah... ahh?!"

The Asteria suddenly shouted. I looked at the paper and was surprised by something.

Teresa explained why Lucia was observing the Asteria in a casual way to see what was going on.

"It's a kind of brainwashing method that forcibly burns knowledge into the brain by showing special shapes. If someone already remembers the letters, there is a chance that they will forget all the letters they have remembered, so you shouldn't look at her."

"Hey?! It's dangerous!"

"Hmm. It's a very effective method of learning for those who don't have knowledge, but for those who already have knowledge, it's poison itself. If you drink too much, you'll be poisoned with medicine."

"I'm scared..."

Lucia held her eyes with both hands as she said so. At that time, she seemed to have noticed something and asked Teresa in her original position.

"... yeah? It doesn't have to be a meaningful letter to teach, does it?" Well then? If I write a figure that teaches you bullshit and tell you that this is a letter..... "

Well, let's forget all the letters.

I knew it!

"If I forget all the letters, what will happen..." Lucia seemed to imagine such a thing and turned her back on Asteria while holding her own eyes.

Also, at that time--,

"... I see..."

--Teresa seemed to have come up with something, but no one noticed the suspicious smile she had on her face.
