Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
1.2-08 Journey to Town 8
Then the waltzes walked out the street again to see if there were any noticeable injuries to the hunter's body. By the way, according to the hunter's story, he didn't intend to shortcut the woods, and the path the waltzes had taken didn't seem wrong.
Such are they, chatting again, walking down the road in a cheerful manner... I walked out, and a few steps forward, and somehow the hunter stopped. Nevertheless, there was something wrong with her body, not that there seemed to be any other reason.
"Speaking of which, it's about time... Stop walking today and camp here"
"" What... "
"You think it's still too early in time, don't you? But considering we're going to be hunting demons for dinner, putting up tents, starting fires, it's going to take longer than we think. Just enough time to get ready."
"" Indeed... "
Waltz and Lucia listen to the hunter and get a convincing look. Apparently, they remembered what happened a few days ago. That is, what happened in a village somewhere far away, which was supposed to start a fire after night.
Then Waltz looked around to make sure there was no one else but ourselves, and then when we took the hunter's luggage out of the manoeuvred armored cargo container, he asked as we returned it to its owner.
"Well, what about the division of roles in the camp?
"Right...... you know how to use this (...)? ♪ Oh, hello ♪
"... is it a mountain of daggers?
"No, it's the camping tool behind it."
"I don't know...... or I can't see the bottom, so I'm going hunting, right?
Apparently, Waltz has decided to secure a staple for tonight's meal.
"Oh. Nice to meet you, then I'll be the tent and the other y-"
Dgowwwwww!!
"You got it, didn't you? Mr. Hunter."
"... sorry. Hey, I don't know what that means..."
"A demon was walking 200 meters away (right there), so I drew him in. It seemed like there were others, but, well, one's enough, right?
"... oh, one is enough. Really, I envy Waltz... I also want to study properly and be free to use magic..."
"Good luck. I'm just backing up (yes, just backup...)"
Waltz offers her a giant boar-like demon with tentacles all over her body as she narrows her eyes that were directed at the hunter and thinks that through her heart. By the way, can you imagine the approximate situation when it comes to the way she attracted demons, saying that she manipulated the force field of gravity?
Puggyyyy!!
Yurrrrrr!!
"Yes, please?
"Eh... well, go ahead..."
"No, actually, I'm not good at slaughtering... Something like this... I feel sorry for you when you look at the demon's crushed eyes... I'll leave the rest to the hunter! Oh, yeah, yeah. I duly named her Josephine, so if anything happens, call her by name."
"What, no..."
"Oh, excuse me. If it's moving, it's hard to pick up, isn't it? I'm gonna tie you up now. So... I'm sorry? Josephine......" Guh.
Puggyyyy!!
Yurrrrrr!!
"... that's it," he said. Well, then, with Lucia, I'll be looking for mountain vegetables in the woods, so thank you for the rest. Looking forward to it, huh? Dinner "
"Please. Mr. Hunter!"
That being said, Waltz and Lucia turn their feet to the dark woods again after leaving the demon (Josephine), which had been wrapped around with rope alive. Was it because they didn't want to see the sight of slaughtering demons that their feet were faster than usual?
On the other hand, with the demons, the hunters left on the spot, by the way...
"... If you're going to fuck me on the hunting ground, that's fine... Josephine, or..."
Puggyyyy!!
Yurrrrrr!!
- And he seemed to have a terribly difficult look at the boar-like demon scratching desperately in the rope. At that time, her hand holding the dagger was shaking small because of a samurai tremor, an effect she had just lost consciousness, or for other reasons...
It should be noted that dinner that day was not boar dish, let me just say.
◇
That's it, day three of continuing your journey. Walk down the street, through the woods, and out onto the open plains.
"... ah! Could that be..."
"Oh, that's the South Fortress of this destination."
"Fortress city..."
- In the eyes of the waltzes came the figure of a large town, surrounded by high walls. Apparently, that's South Fortress, the destination of this trip.
Such a town was more like a "fortress” or an armed castle, as Waltz put it.
... I thought (obo) that I had cut out a large stone and made it, and the outer walls surrounding the town were about 6m high.
… inside it, as if it were a town built to shape a mountain.
... and a large hall, like a medieval castle, built at the top of it.
All the sights seemed like this to Waltz.
"That's fantasy..."
"Yeah? Did you say something, sister?
"Yeah? It looks amazing. - I just thought so?
"Does your sister think so, too? I'm also such a big town, I've never seen it or been in it before, so I was wondering if I'd get a little nervous..."
Waltz and Lucia say what they think about the town. Somehow the hunter began a brief explanation about South Fortress, with his nose high.
"Actually? There have been many wars in this land. Because of the abundance of greenery, it looks like a very attractive land from somewhere else (approximate) between East and West, doesn't it? In order to protect this land, a small fortress has been created, and over the years it has grown so much."
"I see...... So, when there's no war, it feels like foreign deals are gathered here and sent to the center, right? Otherwise, I can't imagine the fortress developing into a big city like that..."
"Ooh..."
………… What's the matter, sir? Mr. Hunter. You look like such a surprise... "
"No... nothing..."
That's what I said, a hunter looking away from the waltz. Guess from the way it looked, apparently she hadn't thought about it until South Fortress developed by the deal.
"... weirdhunter"
"It's a big town... What kind of clothes do you have..."
"(I may no longer...)"
For each, three people walk to a town that was still far away, with a different look on their face. Seems like it took them another three hours or so to get to town like that.
