Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

1.2-01 Journey to Town 1

And the morning of the day I left for town came.

Yes, the morning has come.

... even if the sky was dark or the stars were still shining in the sky...

Morning is morning.

"... still... sleepy............ zzz"

The current time, converted to Earth time, is generally 4 a.m.

For Lucia, who isn't too good at morning, it's still the same time of night...

She seemed to be sleepy, relaxed and shaking her body.

On the other hand...

"Mmm! It's a pleasant morning!

For a hunter with higher tensions, it seemed to me that the authenticity, the morning, was felt to have arrived.

In fact, I guess it was the usual morning for her to go hunting, every day, early in the morning.

And the other one.

For Sleep and Unrelated Waltz, whether it was early morning or late night now seemed like a good story.

Though I couldn't seem to ignore even about Lucia, who looked like I was sleeping.

"Lucia? Are you okay?

"Ugh, yeah...... ok............ zzz"

"That's pretty clever..."

Waltz looks somewhere impressed as he watches Lucia walk with her eyes meditating as she grabs onto herself.

Lucia, who was ahead of her gaze like that, was supposed to be unfamiliar with dark night lanes......

Apparently, while sleeping, she can walk without being taken off her feet, even in the dark.

It should be noted that the reasons are unknown.

Then Waltz raised his face and turned his gaze to the hunter who was walking ahead of the street......

From behind her, I threw these questions at her.

"Um... Mr. Hunter? Nothing, didn't you have to leave early this morning?

The hunter, by contrast, turns his heel back in the dark...

As he walks backwards, he responds to Waltz like this.

"Doesn't it feel good? Air this morning. With everyone still asleep, we're the only ones having a new day. Active before the sun climbs, you can use your day very effectively...... don't you feel that way about waltz too?

"Well... I only regret spending the day with Gudagda or something, so if you think of it as the true opposite, you might feel good... But... I think it's a little too soon. Lucia is going to sleep so much..."

That being said, Waltz turns his gaze again against Lucia, who was walking with his eyes meditating.

Such Lucia's appearance seems to have been noticed by the hunter as well...

This is what she said to Waltz as she scratched her cheeks polypolished with a bad look between them.

"Well, it feels good to be early in the morning, that's the second reason. The real reason is... it's in the woods that we have to go through."

"... is it the forest?

"Oh, it's the woods. There's a little insecure in the woods up ahead, isn't there? If we walk from this hour, we'll be out of the woods by sundown.... You don't even like waltz, do you? You run into bandits, you deal with them..."

"Yeah, so... Huh? Processing?"

"Hmm? No way, the waltzes said they'd run away if a bandit attacked them? Again..."

"Um... Mr. Hunter? Don't you misunderstand us? Not mucky muscle mastery, but for once (...) weak (...) y (...) maiden (?) What is it?

"Right or right. What do you expect?

"You haven't heard me..."

Just say what you want and turn your back again against the hunter, waltz looking grumpy jito eyes.

At that moment, the hunter...

".................. Huh! Killing?!" Biku

And, turning the waltzes upside down with all their hair......

Why did the hunter go into such an action...

It is a little further that the reason for this becomes apparent.

Then I walked down the street for a while, through the woods that surrounded the village of Alc, and when the sky began to turn white.

By then, Lucia just seemed to have woken up completely...

She threw these questions at the hunter walking in front.

"Hey, hunter? Is that all the hunter's stuff?

Apparently, she looked at the size of the headbag on the hunter's back and wondered if it was too little as luggage to travel over the next few days.

In contrast, the hunter replies, shaking his head vertically.

"Ah. Actually? This bag. The magic of space expansion hangs on it. Well, to be exact, they're not like magic, are they?

"Hmmm......"

"(Spatial Extension......? What's that fantasy......)"

"See?"

A hunter who says so and shows the contents of his head bag to the waltzes.

In a bag like that, it's spread about four times bigger than its appearance...

Seems like a lot of baggage was packed.

It's just...

The first two people who saw the contents of it didn't seem to say anything about the head sack.

""... all weapons ""

"Hmm? Ah...... A dagger I always use and a spare dagger. Plus, there's a dagger for when the spare dagger goes down and two of my favorite daggers each."

"No... you don't normally use that much when you're on a journey, do you? (I mean, you're totally deadweight...)"

"That's not true, is it? If we kill the demon bones, the blade will be missing soon... maybe we'll be fighting the bandits, right? Don't you like it? It's the same blade that killed people, hunting demons for them to eat..."

"Ah... indeed..."

"If you say so, that's right..."

"Right?"

and a hunter with a satisfying look somewhere in front of the waltzes who react like they were convinced.

Then she threw these questions to the waltzes, on the contrary.

"By the way... the waltzes don't seem to have any luggage at all... could it be local procurement?

Apparently, the hunter, seeing how the totally hand-held waltzes were, made a certain mistake.

That is - the mistake of using food, drinks, dishes, all the tools of the camp, the trees on the side of the road, etc. and creating them from scratch.

Of course, to do that was to have no creation for Waltz, who was dressed and transferred to another world...

But apparently, that's not what happened.

"No, you don't, do you? I'm bringing it right."

That being said, only the lid of the cargo container that was provided for its own manoeuvre armor, waltz to release the hologram for optical camouflage.

And she opens it...

I said this while showing the contents to the hunter.

"Here's the thing"

And when I saw it...

".................." Me?

And a hunter who keeps his mouth open and solidifies.

Apparently, she's had some major shock......

Looks like my head's completely frozen.

It should be noted that Lucia also watched the condition, but it seems that she has seen the cargo container several times before, and now there may not be any more surprises.

Then.

Waltz sees how the hunter has solidified, when he gets a suspicious look...

I said this as I waved in front of her face.

"Eh? A hunter? Are you breathing properly?

"... Ha!

"... you were really holding your breath..."

and waltz with a subtle look on his mouth.

On the other hand.

breathed back (?) The hunter said these words as he opened his eyes in astonishment.

"Ko, is this... an item box?!

"Huh?"

"... no way, isn't that an item box?!

"What..."

"Then what is it, this..."

That said, interesting, hunters peeking into cargo containers.

Have you felt compelled to delude yourself step by step while watching her react like that......

This is how Waltz replied to the hunter with improvised and appropriate excuses.

"Right...... maybe something similar. I don't get that much stuff in there...... I guess if it's about hunter's luggage, I'll get it in at all, so shall we hold it together?

Then...

"... okay?

and a hunter offering his own headbag, somewhere fearful and so on.

Waltz takes it and puts it in a cargo container...

Bun......

It appears that the optical camo has been redeployed.

Look at that.

"Ooh...... You want me one day too...... Item Box"

With that said, the hunter shines his eyes and gives an emotional look.

Then she turned her lighter shoulder.

Looks like he turned forward and started walking again.

Looking out the back...

"(There's such a thing as an item box in this world... I mean, is it better not to show it to anyone else? Cargo container……)"

and waltz seemed to haunt my head with such concerns......

Even as I look at the cargo container next to myself, I remember Lucia, who hadn't had a big reaction, gradually, I didn't care if it got better or not......
