Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The next morning.

- The hunter's morning is early.

Before the sun rises, the hunter moves out before people act.

Going into the woods while it's still dark......

Feeling the breath of the demons there, dispersed in the darkness so they wouldn't notice...

And then gently approach the prey and poke one of its steeples......

That's right.

In this forest, hunters are the culmination of the food chain.

But......

Things seemed a little different this day.

"Today... the woods are quiet..."

Even a peek into the other side of the dark while blending into the scenery around the hunt......

I couldn't see the demons that I would normally see today.

By the way, she is a cat beast man.

Her appearance, walking assimilated into the woods without any footsteps, was precisely that of the cat herself who hunts.

No, Bobcat, you might want to say.

Anyway, that's what he says...

Though, I only looked like a normal person except for the cat ear and tail......

From a waltz from the modern world, it just seemed like a costume player.

Waltz, who watched such a hunter from behind, what a delicate gaze...

Towards the hunter who was leaning on his neck, he threw these words, in large part.

"Uh... Mr. Hunter? After all, because we're together, aren't we going to run away? The... demons?

Apparently, Waltz remembered something from before.

The goblins who were about to assault Lucia fled and went as soon as they saw themselves.

Then.

The hunter who heard Waltz say that after a loud sigh on the spot......

As he rose from the grass as he stopped hiding, he turned to the waltzes and replied like this with his hands on his hips.

"No, you don't, do you? Sometimes a villager gets hurt when a demon attacks him, but he can't escape from the demon side because people are in the woods... there's never been one before, right? I've never heard of it..."

The hunter had never seen a sight of escaping the demon before.

In addition to her work as a ”hunter," she was also responsible for driving away and exorcising demons approaching the village.

He is still young, but his hunting taste seems to have been out of the group.

There was a reason for that...

Well, we'll cover that story later.

Forget it.

According to Waltz's bio-response sensors, it does appear that the demons were not around.

No, not exactly, he wasn't there at all.

The waltzes were not approached within a 100 m radius, as if they had drawn a circular line.

If they take a step forward, the demons take a step back......

And if they take a step back, the demons will follow a step, and so on.

As for the atmosphere, is it like dancing with someone 100 meters away?

Naturally, the Waltz didn't know what it was like to be such demons...

The hunter uttered the hint.

"From the beginning, it's not the way things are in the woods at all. I don't know... strangely quiet... Plus... I feel bad for my spine... It's like... being stared at by some overwhelming strongman... Could it be... No way...! Dragons in the woods?!

"(Ah... that, maybe, it's me)"

and waltz whining so inside, looking down at the hunter from the manoeuvring armor in transparent condition.

At that time, the hunter and his eyes met because of the sharpness of her senses.

It should be noted, of course, that the figure of manoeuvre armor is not visible to anyone.

Lucia, on the other hand, apparently couldn't feel the signs, and even when she heard of the dragon, she didn't seem to have turned any of the manoeuvred armored ones around, just pointing a surprised glance at her.

Nevertheless, she seemed to have also thinly guessed that the cause of the demons not approaching was in Waltz.

Then again, the three continued their futile act of chasing them, even though the demons were fleeing from themselves.

Neither that nor this was caused by Waltz's kindness and her presence, which would hurt the hunter's pride...

Truth is, neither does the waltz of the day know why the demons run away from themselves...

At this point, it seems that no one, no matter what, could.

◇

Then, this, wandering in the woods for about 3 hours...

But still, the waltzes couldn't hunt a single demon.

And the area gets brighter......

Looks like the sun has totally climbed.

And with that...

"Ahhh!! No more! Let's not do this today! Stop, stop, stop! It's absolutely crazy already!

And the hunter, he threw the spoon.

With all due force, too.

Such a tired look, to the hunter who was sitting on the stump...

"Um... Mr. Hunter? Using our magic...... can we try to hunt?

Waltz, who had given up hunting early and strolled pleasantly through the woods, threw those words at him.

Apparently, she's getting pathetic about the hunter...

"Oh, I don't mind. But... we don't have to prey anywhere near here, do we? That's all I've been searching for, and I can't even hear the bugs. Maybe the dragon or something ate it all..."

"No, I don't think so, do you? Well, since we're going to use magic, hunters, don't move from there. It's dangerous..."

and waltz to advise the hunter, just in case.

If you're a hunter who hears that, you just use magic, you don't know why you have to be careful......

One, he seems to have tilted his neck.

"So, Lucia? Because I pull about demons, can Lucia use wind magic to get todomes stabbed by nearby demons?

"What... pull? Todome? Am I gonna stab Todome? I wonder if I can..."

"Yeah, it's okay, it's okay (rather, because I think overkill is a good place too......)"

Then Waltz shows a bare look around...

Biological reaction sensors were used to initiate a full-scale ambient scan.

"(er? Looks like you're concentrating close to 100 meters, huh? That means you're drawing a beautiful circle so far... I guess there's something out of me... well, let's go now. So, this time... we deployed a gravitational barrier about 4 m around us, and the outside of it... well, in the range of about 500 m radius, we also made a bit of it in gravitational wells. The tree fell (...) chi (...) and came (...) and came (...) is (...) Lucia? Good luck with that, huh?

"Yeah?"

And Lucia, who suddenly told the story, didn't understand what the hell he wanted to say.

Then she tried to ascertain the sincerity of Waltz's words - at that moment.

"Well, let's go," Bun.

Waltz's eyes, which are usually supposed to be blue, glow red.

Gogogogogogogogo......

The surrounding scenery began to distort, making roaring noises.

… Waltz activated the gravity control system in a quasi-combat state.

And things moved a lot.

Zdwwwwww!!

Instead of 100 m away, the demons who were 500 m away ”fell” towards the waltzes in unison.

That's not all.

And the great trees that surrounded them came out of the ground, and the leaves and dead trees roamed the universe, and the soil, and the rocks, and the air, and the waltzes came to kill them.

Look at that.

"Hey, what the hell?! ♪ Biku ♪

"Higu..................?! ♪ Biku ♪

and hunter and lucia lagging backwards while reversing the hair called whole body hair.

We both don't know what happened, and so on.

In the meantime.

Waltz, who was manipulating the surrounding gravity to create such an unrealistic sight, said this in a pale manner while ensuring a safe area around himself.

"Oh, this, it's like my magic...... Look, Lucia? What about wind magic? There's a demon, isn't there?

"What... Ugh, yeah!

And, did you get me back by waltz's call, Lucia snorted in panic.

And she exercises wind magic, as she was told beforehand...

That, again, seemed to be the beginning of a tragedy.

"Well, I'll be there!

Lucia said so and put her hand in front of me - it was at that moment.

Zdwwwwww!!

and the fierce wind that I don't think is the wind blows around......

Even so, he began to powder (...) crush (...) every obstacle demon, as if something like the blade of an invisible mixer had appeared there.

"Hey! Lucia! That's too much! There's no place to eat..."

"Ugh, yeah... make it a little weaker..."

Spa pan!!

Thanks to Waltz's point, maybe, Lucian wind magic in a weakened appearance.

Still, look at her magic that breaks trees and demons in an instant.

"(... I see. This is what happened when you didn't like magic...)"

Waltz seems to have understood Lucia's ”bad magic speech” sincerity.

Meanwhile.

The hunter who was witnessing such a sight and couldn't do anything...

…………

I was completely relieved.

No, I might describe it as like a stone.

Note that how she was hardened like a stone statue - I would discount it because there seemed to be complicated circumstances.

Thus Waltz and Lucia have a total of 100 large and small (?) was successful in securing large quantities of prey in excess of superior
