Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

This is the third day since the Waltz came to town.

Even on this day, the hunter had disappeared from the morning; the two seemed to have a thin sense of what the hunter was doing, but never to ask where or what he was doing.

"... I thought you were here to see your hunter, your boyfriend?

"... because every morning, I go out in a great mood... maybe"

"Well...... but I wonder if there's any chance he's out of town and out in the woods? So, I'm just in the mood before I hunt..."

"No, but no way, we've come this far, we'll hunt on purpose, that's why... it seems possible"

Waltz looking undeniable after hearing Lucia's point. Lucia, by contrast, seemed almost certain.

It was a crowded corner where the guilds stood, even in town, as they walked in such interaction. Headed there is the Alchemy Guild, which yesterday requested the appraisal of an unknown metal.

So Waltz seemed to think, depending on the amount of the appraisal, that we should sell it as is. Because yesterday, when I got Lucia's gear together, I used almost everything, not only Waltz's possession, but even Lucia's share, so there was only enough hand held for the two of us to have a snack.

I just want a few thousand more golds---Waltz, who still had to stay in town for two days today and tomorrow, seems to have been thinking about that.

"... I'm sorry? Lucia...... I spent all Lucia's money yesterday..."

"Yeah? I have nothing to apologize for, sister. 'Cause that's the money you paid to try to buy my cane, so I'd rather be the one to be thankful, wouldn't I? I even spent my sister's share of the money to get her to buy such a expensive cane..."

"Really? Well, later, let's go try and shoot, shall we? Hopefully we'll be able to use a little magic, okay?

"Ugh, yeah... (If you're going to do a small magic trial shoot, I think you can shoot me in town...)"

What happens as a result of trying and shooting...... Somehow, Lucia, how she didn't feel like ending up with little magic. That's the same with Waltz, who seems to have both dared to avoid trying and shooting in town.

Then as they walked down the road for a while, they saw a painful sign in front of them in the eyes of white, black, red and gold. It is an alchemy guild that also came yesterday.

"Well, what can we get out of it?

"... Dragon?

"At least if it's a little dragon, like a commode lizard, there's something I can do about it..."

"What?"

"Yeah. Nothing. Well, let's go."

That said, waltz hands on the door I feel heavier than yesterday. At that time, she glanced at the town sky, where the clouds had become suspicious, before taking her sister and entering the building.

◇

"Sorry."

Get inside the building without hitting the manoeuvre armor...... Then Waltz immediately spoke to the woman's clerk in the back of the store. She seemed to think that if possible, she would listen briefly to the results and quickly disperse the scene. Of course, if it sells, sell it...

But it is.

Her prospects, from this stage, seem to have started to sound and collapse.

"Ah, welcome, Master Waltz. Please wait a moment. I'm calling the Alliance Master."

"Eh..."

Alliance Master. The moment he heard the word, Waltz doubted his ears and wolfed.

A mass of metal that is just heavy, secondary to what occurred during iron refining. That lump of black shine, neither tungsten, nor uranium mine, nor osmium, was apparently a substance beyond Waltz's imagination. Especially since it's a previous story I can't imagine more than I can tell by a detector built into her body......

"Duh, what do we do? Lucia......"

"What? If you asked about the results of the appraisal and it was expensive, wouldn't you have sold it?

"Yes, no, I did, but I didn't think Gilmouth would come out... I was thinking a little bit about making change... targeted?

"Oh well...... But if you just want to hear the results of the appraisal, I don't think so.

"Maybe... I don't think it's going to be a very good thing..."

"What..."

Hearing Waltz's negative words, Lucia tried to change her mind —— that's when.

"Thank you for waiting. My name is Gene and I am making you head of this guild. Are you... Mr. Waltz?

"No, you don't"

"" What... "

"Can I go home now?

A waltz of how he decided to withdraw almost at all costs, that is, after he found out that the Alliance Master was coming out. She seemed to have thought about the status quo far more seriously than Lucia thought, and she wanted to leave the scene as soon as possible.

But there, Gene, the head of the alchemy guild, seemed better.

"Really...... if you seem to have business, you have no choice. Later, let me go directly to the village of Alc."

"Eh... (you're finding out?!

"We were told by the merchants that there were unusual sisters in the village of Alk, so we quickly found out"

"Gu...... (ITS RA......!

Though poisoned in the heart, Waltz remembers dropping an iron ingot on the foot of a traveling youth and now regrets it. She seemed convinced at this moment that that was the beginning of it all.

Waltz, who had thus been blocked from exiting, ended up exchanging stories with Gene about the metal he had asked to be appraised.
