Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When they reached the village, and the Asteria transformed into a figure of a man, and wore spare clothes--

"... how is it that Lord Catalina and Lord Asteria are returning sooner than the concubines?"

The one who flew back in the sky in the dark night, it was faster than us, so it was a stone's throw.

--Behind them, Teresa and Potentia (G-style), who were supposed to be home earlier, appear. From the conversation between them, it seems that Potentia returned to the shape of an air battleship and flew Teresa back in the air, but both of them are pulling in front of Catalina and the others who were earlier.

Seeing Teresa like that, Asteria bowed her head to the two of them, thinking it was a good time.

"I have a favor to ask you both!" I don't want Master Waltz and Lucia to know who I am until they cut me out! "

The Asteria pleaded desperately. However, the words that came back from Teresa and Potentia seemed to be very different from what the Asteria predicted.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

Huh?

"My concubine felt the signs of a pathetic fox that was about to be ravaged by Catalina-sama, so she just entered the forest instinctively." It was quite dark, so I could only see the fox! "

”I was similar, and while Waltz-sama was patrolling the forest, I just stumbled across a fox being bullied by Catalina-sama. The fox you found wasn't an adventurer like Waltz-sama said, so I didn't feel the need to report it.”

Like that, you both pierce through an unknown attitude. In front of two people who were not agreeing to, or opposed to, Asteria's plea, and who showed an attitude of "I don't know," Asteria--

"... thank you... thank you" ugh

—— I seem to have unexpectedly burst into tears.

Especially--,

"... both of you? I wasn't thinking of bullying the fox?" "

--The two pointed out that they were bullying the fox. Catalina became very grumpy, and because of that--,

"......" Bloom

[......] Crunchy

--Theresa and Potentia shrivel up like frightened little animals... It seems that the likelihood of them telling someone about this event has almost diminished before the awareness and pleadings of the Astella.

Thus, without any problems, the four returned to the underground space of the village.... it was supposed to be, but apparently the incident was happening outside the house, not inside.

"Chhhn"

"Chhhn"

"Chhhn"

Waltz, Lucia, and Cortex turned into unspeakable bodies in the house. They are not the only ones. All the knights and beasts in the underground space fell with their eyes peeled, and they seemed to be dead at first sight.

All they could say in common was that they were eating. And the waltz fingers that were lying on the ground seemed to have left such blood (ketchup) characters on the ground as soon as they stopped functioning.

Lucia

and.

Perhaps when the Asteria returned, Lucia made the meal so that he could eat a warm meal. At that time, she didn't have her own taste in cooking, she asked the beasts, the knights, and her sister for a tasting, and she also tasted--

"Chhhn"

--and they must have fainted.

Teresa was relieved that she was not there. The Potentia was the same. Even Catalina's face was twisted. The Asteria was in a state of disarray.

And everyone thought. I'm glad we didn't get involved.

Although Teresa and the others were relieved in their hearts, the four of them changed their faces when they noticed the object on the dining table at home. After all, there was a card with his name on it and a warm meal.

After that, the four of them took a meal with no hesitation. Fortunately, it seems that the taste of the meal was not terrible. Of course. After all, the memory itself flies and I don't remember eating it.... and at the same time, the memory of the Asteria's identity.

And the next time they woke up, the next morning was coming.
