Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

That night, Asteria, alone, came to the earth, fleeing her house. Her destination is not a village on the ground.

Uuuu... hah... I knew it was nice in the woods.

Asteria was in the woods. So she took off her clothes and went back to her original Big Fox figure. It's not that her basement house is cramped, but she originally lived in the woods, and occasionally came to the woods to enjoy a walk. The fact that she was nocturnal may be one of the reasons why she enjoyed taking a walk at night.

She ran through the woods in a frivolous step that did not suit her large body. Along the way, although I felt the signs of a monster, the monster that was dangerous to her when she returned to her original form was not active, and although she was somewhat alert, she continued to enjoy her walk.

Leaving the village, she ran to the shore of the nearby lake, turned counterclockwise around its outer circumference, and ran straight to the academy where she could see it.

However, I did not go to the college, and I kept a certain distance from the college and gurgled around it.

It looks like a big castle after all.

Thinking that the Academy soaring above the mountains was like an ancient castle of great powers that appeared in the story, Asteria continued her walk through the forest.

And when she tries to follow her way home, she feels something strange.

……

At first, I didn't know what it was, and for the time being, it was an asteria moving through the woods with vigilance, but gradually the signs grew, and at the end, the signs attacked the asteria as if to overwhelm everything.



In the face of that overwhelming sign, the Asteria became smaller on the spot with its tail pinched between its crotch. "What the hell happened..." Even if she looked around, there were no signs or movements of monsters, just a black forest that lasted for a long time. It's like an invisible monster is approaching to eat herself, and she can't move forward or backward.

"If you raise your voice, someone will come to help me..." It was when I was thinking about going out as a last resort for the Asteria, which had just disappeared.

... oh? You're such a big fox.

A voice comes from the sky.

Unexpectedly, Asteria looked up at the sky with her ears pounded. Then the stars disappeared and the pitch-black sky spread. It wasn't cloudy or hidden in the woods. The sky was black.

Eek......

In a situation of unclear meaning, when the asteria is so small that it can't be seen anymore, a voice comes out again. However, this time not from the sky, but from in front of you.

If you think of someone, aren't you Asteria?

... heh?

In a familiar voice, Asteria opened her closed eyes and looked ahead. Then, there was the appearance of a small black object that was wriggling...

Potentia-sama...?

Was it Asteria after all? I had only seen that figure once, so I thought I might have called another fox, but it was a mistake--no, I'm glad it wasn't a fox. By the way, what's wrong with you? "Squat down here..." Did you hurt your leg or something?

Thinking that the flying voice belonged to Potentia, Asteria sighed in relief as if she were a fox. However, the signs of crushing herself have not yet disappeared, and she asks Potentia while prone.

Is there anything weird around here?

”Something weird...? Hmm... if you insist, it's just like me.”

”No, no, it's not Potentia-sama, it's even bigger like this, and I'm like a big monster that makes it easy to eat......”

Yeah, so that's me.

... what?

I'm sorry I scared you. The signs that Asteria-san was feeling were probably-- "

The moment Potentia said so, a big change in the shadows of the sky occurred.

Oh, the sky is moving...

The shadows of the sky began to move, resounding the bass of the deaf or deaf. And what the Asteria saw was the countless stars floating across the trees and the black shadows floating in the sky as if they were devouring the starry sky.

Ah, that's......

I see you at the beginning. Mid-Eden Republic Energia Class 2 Air Battleship Potentia. From now on, let's get to know each other. "

From the sky came the voice of Potentia, and Asteria thought.

(I wasn't the only one who was transformed......)

and.
