Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And after dinner. High Speer, who had some work to do, returned early, leaving only the Waltzes in the cafeteria. Free time for a while, until the deadline. It is said that when the time comes, we will meet in the classroom where the orientation was given.

"Now, where are you going?" Is there somewhere you want to go? "

Waltz asked the three who had flattened the meal. But Lucia and Teresa just looked at each other and tilted their necks. He can't seem to think of any particular place he wants to go.

Waltz then turned his gaze to the Asteria. Then, Asteria seemed to be worried about something, and she seemed to be somewhat sorry.

"What the hell is bothering you..." Waltz asked towards Asteria.

"Asteria? What happened? I ate something weird and broke my stomach....."

It was a waltz that probably broke my stomach with the Getemono cuisine, but the Asteria that originally lived in the Heiligenato Kingdom was the Heiligenato cuisine (?) I didn't break my stomach when I ate it. She was troubled by something other than cooking. However, it's not like there was a place I wanted to go.

"Do I really have to be a student...?" I hear it costs money as well as passing the entrance exam to become a student, but I can't pay for that.... "

"Oh, by the way, we didn't pay school fees." I mean, you didn't tell me to pay. "

Huh?

"You don't have to pay, do you?" Looks like Josephine's recommendation is there, too. "

"No, you didn't say you didn't have to pay..." I'll check with High Spear later. "

"Yes, I'm too sad to pay school fees and drop out." Well, if you can use magic, it'll cost you anything. If you dig up the soil around it, generate orihalcon, and sell it, it'll be good money. "

Yes, sir?

"In other words, you can easily save up money in the Asteria, so don't worry about it." Rather, we should be concerned about whether or not we can graduate safely. "

In order to graduate, of course, you have to take classes, pass tests, and take "credits", but in the case of Asteria, from the top of your nose to your toes, you're a bushy, hairy beast. Because it is an object to be despised in this country, I could not deny the possibility of seeing it with white eyes from other students. It is absolutely impossible for waltzes who have difficulty communicating to realize a good relationship with other students while digesting their studies. Therefore, Waltz seemed worried that Asteria would be able to graduate safely.

"That's... I think we have to do our best." I'm already desperate to do my best! but..... "

"" "... but?" "

"There are things that are caught." There are many other Beastmen in the underground space that Waltz-sama has dug up, so why am I the only one? "

"Why is it that only you are chosen to act with the waltzes..." Compared to other beasts, the Asteria, who thought that there was nothing else to be done, did not understand why he could stay with the waltzes, and seemed to be worried about whether he could become a student.

If that's what she thinks--

Maybe because I'm a Fox Beastman?

—— Lucia and Teresa are also fox beasts, so maybe they were chosen because of that connection. It seems that Asteria thought that there might be such a hobby in the waltz because there are aristocrats and golden aristocrats with special hobbies that collect only fox beasts in the world.

Waltz replied immediately.

No, I like foxes, but that's not the point.

"Ki, Ki, I like foxes, don't I?!"

Teresa? That's not the scene right now, can you shut up for a second?

And after silencing Teresa, who likes foxes, Waltz explained the reason to Asteria.

"Because you were the youngest, and you had the ability to act." I chose it because I thought that in the future I would be in a position to bring the Beastmen together. "

Behavioral ability?

"Because you, when we attacked the official city...... when we first met, you answered my question before any of the other stunned beasts." I thought about it when I saw it. That is, it's difficult if you don't have a pretty liver. "

"Eh, no, that's not true..."

"That's why I chose you." I thought it was better if it wasn't you. That's why I'm looking forward to it. "

In response to the words of Waltz, although Asteria's eyes were initially rounded, did she realize that the expectations set by Waltz were real? Her face turned red and she fell down again--

"... yes, I'll do my best."

--and she nodded with an impatient voice.

At such a timing--,

Can I have a moment?

--Millenia and her friends, who were eating at a distance, came to the waltzes.
