Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The big moon that was floating in the sky, as Waltz observed, sank to the horizon before midnight......

A short time before morning arrived, dark at night, dominated the neighborhood.

There's just a bug squeal and a little sound of Lucia's sleep, and the pachi that the burning tree occasionally raises when it blows up......

Goblins and looters never come...

However, only quiet time seemed to pass.

Then a while later, morning approached......

It's time for the sky to start whiting or something.

Waltz seems to have captured the shadow of multiple organisms approaching his sensors.

"(300 + bioreactions, you still have the distance...)"

In order to be a machine, Waltz, who did not have to go to sleep, remained vigilant during the night, without distracting himself in any way, even as time flowed slowly.

Then again, when Waltz is pointing his consciousness at the sensor...

The population that was watching seemed to have begun to move away from the village.

But not everything...

Seems like I saw some reactions breaking up from the group and coming straight up this way.

By the way, this village, where the waltzes were, was not along the street.

For this reason, it was highly unlikely that the travelers would pass by by chance.

Or the villagers who lived in this village came back, it had to be thought......

Is there such a thing as a villager who returns until he makes a mistake in the middle of the night?

Though.

At the moment, Waltz couldn't tell if the reaction was a person.

Anyway, the bio-response sensors capture people, animals, and goblins exactly the same way.

However, in any case, there will be only one thing I can say.

We shouldn't just fail to be vigilant, he said.

"... Lucia? Wake up." Yuyusa.

Waltz rocks Lucia asleep next door, with a less loud voice.

But is Lucia asleep or doesn't quite wake up...

In the end, Lucia finally woke up with Waltz gently slapping her in the face.

"Ugh...? Oh, sister...... good morning" Po

"Yeah, good morning. Sorry? Early this morning..."

".................. zzz"

"What... he said you shouldn't sleep! ♪ Yuyusa ♪

When Waltz shook his voice again, did he wake his eyes firmly this time......

Lucia yawned loudly, then stretched her back, and said:

"Yeah, I'm fine. 'Cause I've always been up about this time..." Huh.

"Yes... (Well, it looks like I've been unable to do this for the past few days, and I can't help but wake up right away... maybe)"

and waltz how he didn't know about the spiciness of sleeping because he never slept.

She tries to imagine, in her head, what it's like to be a sleeper...

Remind Lucia of the current situation and not the other way around.

"Actually, there's something I have to tell Lucia. Someone's... approaching the village."

"What..."

"It's still a little far... it feels like there are about 10 of us. I haven't abandoned the possibility that I'm not human yet..."

"So, are you okay?

You remembered those who made this village doomed, Lucia, looking rather alarmed, turning a worrying gaze outside the barn.

Waltz who saw it, even if he didn't know about the sleeper, could he have imagined the fear Lucia felt......

I put my hand over Lucia's head and said this gently, staring straight into her eyes.

"Yep. Of course. Are you all right? Because I'm with you. But the only way to escape is to wait a minute, okay? Because if someone I know is back, I think I need to see him. On the contrary, if the bad guys are back or the weird animals are approaching,... shall we run then? Actually, even if it looks like this, I'm strong, right? (I've never fought...)"

Seeing the smile that Waltz floated while saying that, Lucia seems to have regained some calm -

"... ok. I believe in your sister."

She seemed to nod deeply, clinging to Waltz's arm.

◇

Two people out of the barn after such an exchange.

In doing so, the waltzes seem to have decided to put out the burning fire, thinking about the worst and not knowing where they are.

Though.

It did not draw water from nearby wells and rivers to extinguish the fire.

Using Lucia's water magic...

Doshaaaa!

for a moment.

"Wow, it's dark..."

"(Wow, awesome power...)"

Waltz rounding his eyes to see how the incineration went out in an instant.

But I can tell you that's not impossible either.

Anyway, Lucia's magic didn't extinguish the fire (...), but extinguished it (...)...

Well, aside from that.

In the dark after putting out the burning fire, Lucia was not used to her eyes or her feet seemed a lot indelible.

She didn't have fine fox ears and tails, but apparently, like a real fox, her eyes worked at night.

Meanwhile...

The visitors didn't seem to be.

"(dark-eyed goggles... not dark-eyed magic, is it?

Waltz thinks about that while making sure the response shown on the bio-response sensor is coming straight to the village without hesitation.

At that point, it seemed to be concluded in her that she was not an animal, due to the habits of movement, velocity, placement relationships, etc.

I mean, they're people, and...

According to the sensors, we have about 200m to go before the subject reaches the village.

Still dim, if you stare at them, you can somehow see them, at such a distance.

Conversely, you can say that you have entered a visible distance from the target.

"Did you hide in the shadows and see how it went?

"Yeah...... But... so dark, do I look like your sister?

"Yeah, you can see it on the ground, right? I can't even see the person (...) on the boulder, on the other side of the house, approaching us (...)?

Lucia grips her hand hard when Waltz speaks those words.

That would not be due only to the fact that I didn't see my feet well and was about to snap over and over again.

Know it or not......

Waltz gently pulled her hand in a direction with few obstacles to prevent Lucia from falling.

It seems that he decided to guide him to make it easier to walk.

Of course, in doing so, don't just feel (kick) at her, but keep your manoeuvre armor from hitting the rubble...

Then the two of us hide in the shadows.

And a while later.

Even in the dark, I came into the sight of Waltz, who had the same view of his surroundings as during the day - as if he were men wearing armor made of metal, worn by medieval soldiers

Such are the words they utter as they enter the village, honking their tongues.

"Oh, my God, isn't that ruin?"

"This won't make it easier to replenish."

"When I saw you a week ago, it looked like people lived there."

"Well, you've got a visitor in the last week,"

"(I don't care what you think, village officials, it doesn't seem...)"

Waltz to see how those men are doing and make an instant decision.

As a result, she whispered (sayingly) to Lucia, who was shaking small next to herself, with a small voice that she could not hear other than her.

"(So... run away?

"Huh?!

Lucia unwittingly retreats when she hears such Waltz's words.

At that time, unfortunately, she ran into the wax that was directly behind her.

Kataan!

and defeat it with momentum.

………… Who?!

"(Well, it's a pattern...)"

As a result, Waltz, without getting lost, grabbed Lucia's hand and started running.

However, not at a speed out of the ordinary orbit, but slowly thinking about Lucia......

"Two kids are on the run!

"Don't let them get away with it! Follow him!"

"Hih...?!

Hearing the men coming from behind, Lucia moved her legs desperately.

I don't know what they'll do if they get caught here.

Be a slave, be killed, or else suffer terrible eyes......

All that thought came up behind Lucia's brain, and the blackened emotion of fear dyed her head all in one color.

I got scared, I couldn't help myself, and Lucia held Waltz's hand so hard...

And I tried to look up at her face, which she said was ”okay” to herself, in a fiercely shaky vision.

By then, the skies around them were gradually becoming brighter, and the scenery around them seemed to start to appear slightly brighter.

It was floating there, on the face of the only older girl Lucia could rely on......

It wasn't fear, it wasn't anger, it wasn't a sense of impatience - for some reason, there seemed to be a laugh.

If you're analogous, laugh like an innocent child who enjoys a snooze...
