Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

”At times like these, it's usually just something that isn't too busy... empirically”

"Um, yeah..."

"That's not true... I don't remember..."



Waltz, Lucia, and Theresa were all recalling a tragic incident that used to be Mid-Eden. It was a brutal murder of the former King of the Mid-Eden Kingdom, his family, and senior government officials. At that time, the king's city of Mid-Eden was enveloped by phantom magic, which prevented people from entering the city. It's also due to a special effect that keeps people away from wonders, like this time. It was natural for the waltzes to compare what was happening at that time with the current situation.

"Well, I can't deny the possibility that Josephine and the others are developing phantom magic to keep other students away, so let's just check the situation first." If this were the Phantom Magic developed by Josephine and the others, we might be angry if we deliberately crossed it, but in our case, it's too late, and we wouldn't be so angry, would it? "

"Um" "Um"

"Um... what the hell..."

"No, it's not a big deal, is it? There was just something I didn't like about phantom magic before. I'll talk to you when I get the chance."

"Yes, yes..."

Since I said that to Asteria who seems to be unable to swallow the situation. Waltz took Lucia's place and began to walk at the head of the party. At that time, she carried the millenia in her arms on her shoulders and held Lucia's hand with her open hand. Meanwhile, the other Teresa, whose phantom magic didn't work, gripped the Asteria's hand. Because it is extremely difficult for someone who is not resistant to reach their destination in the shadow magic of avoidance.

Waltz asked Lucia as he slowed down.

"Are you okay, Lucia? If you see anything bad, just tell me?"

Yeah? Is it bad?

"It seems like the kind of phantom magic used by Yulia has substance." I can't perceive it at all, and it doesn't work, so anything can't be avoided. "

"Yeah... but then--"

Lucia said that and turned around. Then, the figure of Teresa gripping the Astella's mohumov's hand with a smile of Nihla with extreme joy...

"......"

"Huh? Huh, what?" I'm scared.

"... anything" Puii

Having said that, Lucia turned around and resumed responding to the waltz.

"In the worst case, maybe Teresa will protect you... no, I'll use Teresa as my shield."

"Oh, yeah... (Did I have to say that again?)"

Waltz thought so, but he never asked the question. There are two reasons. The first is that when I put in the tsukumi, I only felt like a snake. It seems that Waltz has acquired the ability to read the air exclusively in relation to Lucia.

And the second is--

"That's right. The big lecture room."

--Because I found the big lecture room that is the destination. Even though Waltz said so, Lucia was leaning her neck as if she was trapped in phantom magic, and her consciousness was in a state of being caught up in it. If it stops, it doesn't seem to be affected, but if it moves, it will be affected. Maybe it's not just phantom magic that's unfolding, it's also a kind of mental magic that directly affects the spirit.

"(If you don't think about some kind of phantom magic countermeasure, it's awkward..." that Lucia's thoughts will be taken over, only fear) "

I wonder if there were any tokens in the Enchant's magic tool that could cast an effect like a phantom magic... With that in mind, Waltz opened the door of the great lecture room--

"... sorry, Teresa. My hands are blocked, can you open them instead?"

--He could not open it because his hands were blocked, so he instructed Teresa, who was following him from behind, to open it.

And--,

"Then why don't you go?" "Giggle.....

--Theresa pulled the big door in front of her.
