Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Catalina waltz party (?) As a result of the decision to join, Waltz and Lucia were unable to practice their magic using newly bought canes. Anyway, Catalina is so hungry that she's about to fall down. What would happen if I left her like that... You won't have to dare imagine.

"Mucha... Ngu... oku..." Mogu

"Yeah. That's good eating."

"Don't you eat your sister? ♪ Momogu ♪

"Hmm? Ugh, yeah...... I just ate..."

The fountain is just a short walk into the front gate of South Fortress. Waltz, who came back that far, had done the same thing a few hours earlier, sitting back on the edge of the fountain and eating.

At that time, Waltz had just had lunch earlier, so he was just mouthing fruit water, but Lucia, somehow, with Catalina, seemed to cheek on Inari sushi. The time now is approximately 3: 00 PM. Apparently Lucia is eating Inari sushi, with a snack feel.

In the meantime, Waltz, who was thinking about tomorrow, asked Catalina.

"Yes, yes. I have to tell Catalina something. Actually, we're going back to the village tomorrow. I live here, not in this town?

"So you're going to need to prepare for the journey? If so, I'll get you what you need…"

"Hmm, maybe I don't think I need to get ready for the trip. Maybe, again, the hunter will prepare it (worst case scenario, I just need to fly home...), but when I get back to the village like this, you know, I don't have what I need, and I think I'm in trouble. So, I'm gonna give you the money, so I thought I'd get you everything you think you need?

"Yes, no... all the taxes to get into town or even my meal bill, but I can't afford any more..."

"And the inn bill, too, huh?

"?!" Biku

"No, nothing, you know, if you stay in the same room, you just don't get breakfast or dinner, you can stop without paying extra, right? (I mean, hunter, I don't think you're eating, so if you get a meal for that, I think you can eat it for free...)"

And, every day, Waltz remembers a hunter who goes out earlier than breakfast is served and returns at a much later time than dinner time. She seemed worried about how to introduce Catalina to the hunter who returned late at night.

Anyway, Catalina is a member of the Brave Men's Party, albeit ”ex". And the hunter, being attacked by them, is the only one who has been harmed. Considering that, it wasn't always easy for the hunter to forgive Catalina.

"(Well, I'm talking about the hunter, so I'm sure you'll convince me soon... hey?)" Chira

"Yeah?" Momogu

"(There's a precedent for Lucia...) And Lucia? How many boxes?

"What? Uh... 4 boxes?

"Hey... aren't you overeating? It..."

"Hmm... I guess so... But, wonder, you're getting sucked into your mouth, right? This dish called sushi…"

"If you eat that, you'll get sucked in..."

and my sister's inexhaustible appetite (?) before, waltz with a clear look on his face.

Then, at that time. Unexpectedly, the area around the square becomes noisy.

Of course, there were a small number of people on the spot, and the whole square was originally surrounded by noise, but the air that some of them were showing changed slightly. Noticed something, started giving way, things like that.

"... hmm?

"What's wrong with you?

"Anyone... here?

About 20 soldiers walked down the boulevard from behind the town at the time Waltz responded that way to Catalina. It is also, unlike the common guards, all of them wrapped in silver armor, and a person crossing its leading edge over a large horse passes - such a group.

They walked straight out through the main gate of the town, which was just off the square, and left to go somewhere. Seeing as the guards were dropping off behind it with salute —— the dispatch of the knights stationed in this town, or something like that?

Catalina, who was watching that, speaks of this.

"That's for sure...... it's Alexandros, lord of the land. The others, I think, are the knights of the escort. From the equipment...... near here, is it also a big fight?

and Catalina remembers a man named Alexandros, the head of this town face-to-face, when he was held in this town with the brave.

… but.

"Um... Master Waltz? What's wrong with you?

Somehow, Waltz did not respond to Catalina's words.

Of course that's not because I wasn't interested in her words. Rather, it was the other way around.

"That's crazy...... There was a hunter in that group..."

"... Huh?

"Huh? ♪ Momogu ♪

"Right next to someone on a fine horse, right? Those black tails and ears... maybe I didn't see them wrong..."

With that said, Waltz turns his grim gaze in the direction that the knights have already disappeared.

Apparently, her desire not to be looked upon by a man of high stature, only on the third day she came to this world, unknowingly, had collapsed.
