Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When it was a while after noon. Waltz and the others made it to town.

There seemed to be a section of the wall there with a large gate built and people waiting to be inspected to enter the town in what seemed to be a checkpoint set up in the form adjacent to it. As a result, a pair of waltzes lined up at the rear of it.

From there, he said this with his mouth open as the hunter narrowed his eyes to Waltz and Lucia, who were gazing at the chilling confusion toward the end of the line.

"This is the inquisition to get into town. What, you said interrogation, just to be asked why you came to town? You just have to say the right things about shopping, hunting."

Having heard the words, Waltz threw this question at the hunter when he gave a slightly convincing look.

"Is it a checkpoint...... By the way, is there something you need to prepare in advance or something?

"If you're a registered member of an Adventurer Guild or a Commercial Guild, if you present your Guild Card, it's like an ID replacement in itself, so you can keep the interrogation going... but if you don't have anything, you have to get a new one issued. Do the waltzes have it? ID like this"

That said, some kind of hunter who shows something like a transparent card.

Waltz, who saw it, shook his head to the side and then asked Lucia, who was next door.

"No, I don't have one... does Lucia have one?

"Yeah? I don't have one, do I?

"Right...... Well, it might cost you both some money to get a new ID. Well, the waltzes would be no big deal."

"... by the way, how much is it?

"............... I forgot! ♪ Killah ♪

"" Ah, yes... "

Exactly, Waltz and Lucia have a subtle look at hunters who had expressions like Tehepero, etc. Then they looked back forward and it seemed they started looking around again.

Approximately 30 people lined up there, courteously. Not only were there beast ears grown beasts like Lucia and the hunters, but at first glance they seemed normal human beings like waltzes, or even winged wingmen from their backs.

It was the people of this race who caught Waltz's interest (?).

"(Ah! That, you oak......!

Green skin and disappointing figures, plus height higher than normal people...... That appearance seemed to be the oak itself in Waltz's memory.

It's just, well...

"... Oh, that? If you look closely, he's actually just an uncle...?

- Although that nose wasn't crushed like a pig, the outfit was solid, and he just seemed to be a person with a green skin color.

"What's up? Waltz. Did any of the people in line even know him?

"Huh? Yes, no...... Hey, I was just thinking that the world is weird, right?

"Hmm? Well... Strange, huh...... I'm always wondering about Waltz and Lucia, too."

"" Huh?

"What?"

When the three of them are having such an exchange, creating a chaotic atmosphere -

"Next!

- Soon, people had disappeared from before the waltzes, and their order seemed to be turning.

As a result, the three were prosecutors sitting at the back of the desk (?) I walked up to the front and just decided to go through the process...... On the way there, Waltz threw these questions at the hunter.

"... by the way, does this town make sense?

"... sorry waltz. I'd like to ask you the other way around... what kind of situation is this where the word doesn't make sense?

"Uh... I don't think you know what they're doing, for example, in different countries, using different kinds of words..."

"Different countries...... no, neither here nor the village of Alk, they are in the same country, so that's not it, is it? Besides, this” Mid-Eden "neighboring country uses the same word everywhere, so it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense first. I've never heard of a country near here that doesn't speak the language."

"Is that what it is... (Does that mean... that Japanese can be spoken in common anywhere in this world?

And, if you're in the modern world, think about the absolutely impossible situation, waltz tilting your neck.

Then they finally got to stand in front of the gatekeeper. - It is that moment.

"Well, ladies, let me see your ID... uh-huh?! ♪ Biku ♪

A gatekeeper raised his face from the paperwork for some reason. As if you saw something you shouldn't.

Looking at that, Waltz tries to make sure that the optical camouflage of the manoeuvre armor is deployed... Before that, the hunter started talking.

"Ooh, you're annoying! Well, then, check it out as usual. Yes... as usual, huh?" Nikkoli

"Ha, ha?!

When the man at the gatekeeper said so in a terribly frightened manner for some reason, he did his hand on the ID provided by the hunter and checked it before...

"Ri, Master Reese...?!

- And, biting his tongue, he read out the name of the hunter that would have been filled in there. Apparently, the hunter's name is ”Liese”.

Then, against the gatekeeper whose behavior was strange, the hunter frowned and said these words.

"Dear” is superfluous. Well, fine. I'm bringing my friends in today... I just want to ask them to register a new one because they don't have an ID "

"Or maybe... So, you two, fill out this paper requirement. As far as I can tell..."

When the gatekeeper carefully said so, with a trembling hand, he offered two pieces of paper, like Japanese paper, to the front of the window.

Waltz and Lucia, when they receive it, both ask the hunter before writing their own names there.

"... a hunter... what are you really doing?

"Uncle the gatekeeper...... are you so frightened?

"No, I'm an authentic hunter.... right?" Giro

"Ha, ha, no!

"... what?/(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"I don't have half the feeling I'm forcing you to say it... well, I'm holding the weakness, I'll say"

"Tell me later, will you? Mr. Hunter."

"There's no other way."

A hunter who says so and returns a grin.

After seeing such a deluded look at something of hers, the waltzes began to write their own names on the paper they received, using the desk and pen that was there.

So Waltz realizes a certain fact.

"(Hmm... I had a rough expectation from the numbers on the coin, but this world is not just about words, it's also about letters in Japanese)"

Name, age, occupation, current place of residence, etc……. All the items were written in Japanese.

And another thing, she's been surprised.

"... Yes! Can you write it?

That's what Lucia was able to write.

Because if you're going to light up the history of the modern world, especially in the Middle Ages, there should be almost a 0% chance that a girl about Lucia's age can write letters...... Waltz, who knew it, did not think Lucia could write letters.

About that, the hunter seemed to think the same way.

"Amazing, huh? Lucia. How can you write letters?

"Mm-hmm... because there were so many books in the house?

"Hmm? Lots of books in the house..."

A hunter who hears the words and has a profound expression of meaning. Judging from the way it is, it seems that families who possess a large number of books in their homes in this world are not what they are. Will Lucia's house, then, not have been a normal household?

As Waltz was listening to the exchange between the two, he changed the subject the hunter noticed it spoke to and mouthed these questions.

"What do you say? Waltz. Can you write it? If I can't write, I'll write instead..."

"No, I'm done writing, too, right? Here."

Look at that.

"Eh... wah, waltz could you write the letters too!? Besides, she's prettier than me..."

- And a hunter who solidifies, with a flashy look on his face.

Seeing how she reacts like that, Waltz talks about this.

"Maybe I can't write, or something? As a matter of fact... there were a lot of books in my house."

"What, even your sister's house?

"Yep. Lucia looks the same, doesn't she?

"Hmm, well..."

With that said, Lucia gives a happy look toward Waltz. Ahead, Waltz was also grinning... Between them, there seemed to be bright air.

It's just...

"... what's my handle... what..."

- In a small part, some athletes appeared to have come off and wrapped up a dark atmosphere, but, well, it's trivial, so I'll skip the explanation.

The waltzes have thus successfully submitted the documents. As a result, the two of you...

"So, now that you have your ID, I'll give it to you. Mr. Lucia here, Mr. Waltz here. As an issue fee, 500 go per person...... no, it's fine for free. Please keep it..."

"This is your ID... you didn't write anything?

"Could it be something like a magic trick?

- Looks like the hunter has succeeded in receiving an ID like a clear glass plate, similar to what he has. It's also a hunter's face savvy (?) because there was, or the issue fee was 0 gold......

And the three of them, at last, were to go on their feet into the city, which they had arrived in three days.
