Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And one more thing.

"Hah... that's not what I imagined." It's so annoying already... "

In the dimly lit room where no one was sitting at his desk, someone was sighing deeply. She was in a large room, holding her head in her elbow at a desk that was illuminated by a minimal light.

"There are too many unstable and uncertain elements..." What? That Mid-Eden country. What kind of horse bone is it? "

Beyond the ocean, we have no information on Mid-Eden. It is clear that for at least the last 1000 years or so, there has been no record of cross-sea exchanges. It was totally unexpected for her and for the rest of the country, such as the sudden arrival of such things in the Grand Duchy of Restofen. The current Grand Duke, Josephine, was no exception.

While various thoughts are swirling inside and outside the country, is it possible that a mysterious country that suddenly offers over-technology could affect its own plans... "No, rather, it's possible that it won't affect me..." "She", the owner of the room, could not make a decision no matter how much she thought. It was the first time she'd been alive for a long time, and I didn't know what to expect.

"... I don't think any hand will work..." "I thought I could move more freely without Josephine, but at the moment, I'm going beyond that..." But even though this is your big chance, it's a waste to be shy... "

She had a plan that could never be told. That's what gets in the way when Josephine is around. Moreover, the plan is to make it difficult even when Mid-Eden arrives.

She sighed again as she dropped her eyes on the two sheets of paper on the desk. There seemed to be various sentences written on the paper, but it seemed that there was a column of names at the top of both sheets, and it was written as follows.... Lucia, and Millenia.

After exhaling a sigh she did not know how many times she would see herself, she tried to put the two sheets of paper into the desk drawer.

Rusty, rusty.....

—— and some kind of black shadow in the desk --,

"Hit it?!"

--Jumps up unexpectedly.

"W-why are you here...?"

She peeked horrified into the drawer and tried to find the stupid existence, but even if she flipped what was in the drawer, she couldn't find the kind of existence--

"Because of your imagination...?"

—— I frowned in disagreement.

"Speaking of which, there's been a sudden increase in black bugs lately..." Somebody's magic? Even so, I can't feel any magic power..... "

Having said that, she turned her gaze towards the corner of the room. Then, even there, I felt something stupid, but even if I tried to review it by staring at it or shining a light, there were no bugs or signs, just a wall.

"Hallucinations...? That's disgusting..."

"Since when did the black bugs start to grow..." Since the Mid-Eden people came in and out of the academy... Or maybe after Josephine ran into the academy... "If you say so, isn't it because the neighboring Rimenza Empire has driven Josephine out of the capital...?

She grasped all the events in this country as if they were happening on the palm of her hand, but for some reason it didn't work out as she wanted, so she grew tired of it.

"...... Damn it, why would anyone stand in my way......"

She, the owner of the room, sighed again as she snorted herself unheard.

... without even knowing that someone was lurking there observing her.
