Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"No... even though everyone is trying their best, you were just looking at me." Speaking of straight spheres, you're just in the way? Then I thought it would be better to look at it from the gap of the door... "

Waltz walks down the stairs of the lecture room, dragging Millenia and Kingsguard captain Barestle shoulder to shoulder with each other. At that time, it seemed that the forehead of the ballast struck the corner of the stairs with a gun, but well, since it was not a violent bump, it would not be important.

Waltz came down to the bottom of the stairs and, with an excuse, lowered the two of them there. In the meantime, the Ballestr is due to the battle (?) Lucia exercised recovery magic because it was full of scratches.

"I don't think you're interrupting my sister."

Lucia said so, and the Asteria was in the same tune.

“Yes! I couldn't do anything about it, even when I entered the room.”

No, the Asteria was carrying the wounded knights, wasn't it?

"If you say that, the same goes for the Master Waltz. The Master Waltz said he was in the way, but he fainted and couldn't cope with the danger, so he couldn't get into the room. If Master Waltz had left Mr. Millenia and Mr. Balestre in the hallway, perhaps they would have been taken hostage by now."

"Well, well... (I'm sorry, Asteria. I didn't think about it that much....)"

In fact, Waltz didn't try to enter the room thinking he couldn't do anything. "What can I do now that I've lost my mobile armor..." While thinking about it, her legs stopped as if they were sewn to the ground.

The look on Asteria's face that she didn't know about was very dazzling for Waltz.

"That's right! I am a bad boy who remembered the millenia after entering the room with Lucia." We need to use more of our heads! ”

"Ah, yeah... yeah, yeah... good luck? (Ahhh... my chest hurts...)"

The waltz didn't go as far as the gesso, but he had a complicated expression on his face. Lucia and Teresa seemed to understand what she was thinking, but they both read the air, and they didn't say anything extra.

Whether they can no longer collapse, if the two of them walk away to the knights' recovery work with an uneaten face, the waltzes and asteria will inevitably be left in place. At first, Millenia, Josephine, and Ballestur, who had been rehabilitated by recovery magic, were lying beneath their feet, but words never flew out from unconscious people.

Therefore, Waltz thinks in your heart.

"(Lucia and Teresa escaped too!)"

Waltz half desperate to find a topic to talk about, expecting Asteria to praise him if he stays silent. Yes, she's not used to being praised, and her back gets itchy when she gets praised.

However, for her who has difficulty communicating, it is difficult to find the topic immediately--,

"(I don't know what to tell Asteria...)"

--and you panic in your heart.

That said, I couldn't do anything to chase after Lucia and go out to rescue the knights, so I couldn't escape... Waltz, somehow, had no choice but to find a way to talk to the Asteria.

At that time, a question suddenly dawns on the head of the waltz. There was no continuity in the topic and there was no surprise, but Waltz questioned the Asteria.

Speaking of which, Asteria.

Yes?

"I don't know if I should ask you at such a time, but... no, I think you should check it out." Are you scared that you're acting with us? Since you're so free, don't you want to go back to your hometown or something? "

Waltz thought of an excuse and asked the Asteria if he wanted to return to his homeland. If we continue to act together, we won't be attacked by hostile forces in the Grand Duchy of Restofen in the future, so don't you want to throw everything out and go home...? When Waltz asked with such a side voice, Asteria swelled her cheeks and became furious.

"I will never leave!" Even if the Master Waltz tries to thrust himself out, he'll still be chasing you to the bottom of the earth! So far, now I'm satisfied! ”

"Oh, yes... (Speaking of which, there are already a few people who say things like Asteria...)"

The faces of several acquaintances appeared in Waltz's mind when he thought about it. At that time, Waltz seemed to be shivering, but it was unclear what had happened. At least, it's not cold in the big lecture room.

"But you're in trouble..." "If I were to leave the matter of Millenia to Josephine, it would be that all the knights, not just Josephine..." I guess I'll just have to go and call the headmaster. "

Waltz, who thought he had come up with a good excuse to leave the front of the Asteria, tried to say, "Well, I'll go and call the dean." But he squealed.

Because--,

"W-What's going on here?!"

--because the person I was going to call came to the lecture room.
