Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

That night, Millenia couldn't sleep. Because I was asleep at a strange time, and because the events that happened during the day were rampaging around like a flood in my head, I didn't get drowsy at all.

As a result, she came to the roof of the dormitory. The moon has already fallen to the other side of the horizon, and the night sky is full of stars.

Such a wind flowing through the sky, though cool in this season, did not cool the head and heart of the millenia. So far, the turbulence that had flowed through her had been so hot that she couldn't help it.

"Hah... I couldn't hear your name after all..."

Millenia sighed with a murmur. That murmur was not at the level of one or two waking up at night, but it was now countless... It seemed to be gushing out like an unstoppable fountain.

"Next time I see you, be sure to give me your name..."

That's what Millenia said, putting her hands together to pray in front of her chest. It might be said that it was like delivering a wish to a star shining in the sky.

And that's when it happened.

* squeaky *...

Something unexplained ran through the rooftops, and such a sign came from behind the millenia. Millenia, observing the sign, turned her hand in a reflexive manner and said:

"Destroy! Bugs!"

It was murder that came out of Millenia. Without hesitation, she unleashes icy magic.

At that time, she had an unusual reaction rate. Had she been able to use it when the adventurers attacked her, she would have burst out the chantless ice magic at such a pace that the end would have been different again.

The chanting was not so powerful. However, it was too powerful to be effective against black insects.

The magic was the 18th (octopus) of the Millenia. It was a fast-firing ice magic that could be called insecticidal cooling magic that was only used to kill hateful black bugs.

But--,

"...... lying. Did you take it off?"

--It seems that her magic, which she released with confidence, did not hit the black bug. Even if the area was illuminated by light magic, only the frozen rooftop floor was spreading there. There were just a few bad luck feathers that had been pickled in ice.

"... haa"

Unconfidently, Millenia sighed unexpectedly. Her melancholy night was just beginning.

◇

The next morning.

Please, listen to me! Teresa-sama!

In a waltz house in an underground space, a small black object resented over the kitchen. It's an insect-style potentia.

"... Lord, going up to the kitchen with your shoes seems like you're doing a good job."

”No, I washed my feet before I entered the house. Besides, it's your arm that's touching the desk right now. Your hind legs are floating. Here. Like a mosquito. '

"That's why you're getting so wobbly..."

Well, that's fine. Ask me more than that. Yesterday, I rescued a child named Millenia, didn't I? I watched her quietly from the shadows, trying to keep her from being attacked again. Then, she said that she had a rash on the roof of the dormitory because she was troubled by something, so I thought I'd take a consultation and tried to talk to her. So, what do you think happened as soon as you came out of the shadows? It's a sudden magical attack! And towards me, this dung bastard! I've been babbling about it. Ah, no, it was the insect...? Well, either is fine, but don't you think it's terrible? Even though you saved my life, it seems that I have been told from time to time!

Well then, if you look like a bug, it's only natural that they say it in a sporadic way.

"...... I don't really know how people think at all. Even though the shape (shape) is just an ornament......"

The moment Potentia said so, something like a black insect gathered together from every corner of the house. Seeing that, Lucia became semi-frenzied, and when Waltz and Asteria crossed their wings, somehow sinking Lucia, the black bugs formed a potentia of human figure. It was also a condition in which the boys of the college wore uniforms like they wore.

"I can't understand why a human being is so dependent on human appearance at all."

"...... I don't know. I mean, I don't know if I should consult my concubine who is not a human." I want you to hit something else.

While saying that, Teresa lightly made lunch for five people. At that time, it seemed that a question approached Lucia's cry from behind her to see if there was any potentia in the lunch box, but where does the potentia wind blow? I didn't seem to understand what Lucia was saying.
