Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz slowly advances north through the sky after the moon sets.

Beside it is the figure of two fox daughters... In it, the conscious, taller than Waltz, Catalina thought of this like a monk, looking out at the view she could see from it.

"(If this is where the soul goes home after death... that's not bad...)"

The countless stars that shine over your head, the seemingly soft clouds that spread beneath your eyes, and the many dots of light you can see from that gap…. Everything you could see from there seemed impressive to her.

Watching such a sight brings to mind, behind her brain, the events of the day.

"(I can't believe people who are supposed to die... can help...)"

Waltz, who dyed bright red from the neck down and unconsciously showed him about the hunter who had collapsed to the ground, even easily saved him. That appearance was a sight that could only be described as an anomaly for Catalina, who had previously used restorative magic as a monk and saved brave men and people.

Though ——

"(... I can't believe the world has a way of saving such a person...)"

—— What Catalina was feeling was hope, not hatred.

For her, who has dropped off so many things about those who could not save her with restorative magic, Waltz's conduct, which can generally be described as satanic, seemed rather welcome, rather than disgusting. She knew better than anyone that no justice or evil existed before the cry of 'I want help' or 'I want help'.

"(I want to be able to save more people...... But............... no. You can't help worrying....... yeah!

Give yourself up to the strong thoughts that drive you, and hold your unwavering determination in your chest......

Catalina, determined, opened its mouth.

"Mr. Waltz..."

"Yeah? Flower picking m"

"Make me your apprentice!

"... Huh?

"So make me your apprentice!

…………

And a hardening waltz.

At that time, was Waltz about to crash because of her carelessness or because of Catalina's bad request without a thump...

◇

The morning after that.

The waltzes were in a village they were familiar with. Yes, it is the village of Alc. At last night, Waltz was returning to the village of Alc, where Lucia and Catalina had their workshop (planned).

To the hunters, it was a waltz that was running as if it were a lifetime goodbye, but she thought that if she could just let herself go as she demanded, she could set up a workshop in the village of Alk like this... For a while it was decided to keep a still look at the counts.

As it stands, as a waltz, I didn't seem to want to move out of this village whenever possible, as there were many advantages gained from being in this village, such as the presence of a liquor store owner who would provide meals almost free of charge and the presence of an alchemy guild who would come from the other side to buy them on his own.

Well, aside from that.

It is morning.

Lucia comes to Waltz, who was in the living room earlier... As always, she didn't have a sleepy face--

"... sister... something is wrong... Why am I home?! Besides, when I wake up, my sister Catalina is sleeping next door..."

"It's been a long time. Well, to put it briefly... I was tired of the hunter's medical attention and Lucia was asleep, so I thought it would be pathetic if I woke her up, so I flew softly not to wake her up and came back to the village within the night?

"Oh well...... yeah. So now I know why I'm here. But... Catalina, I can't solve the fact that your sister was sleeping next door..."

Why was Catalina asleep in her own bed...... Only one thing about it, Lucia, is how she didn't really care.

If you think about the fact that there are only two beds in this house and the proprietary area when you lay down, it was obvious who would have to sleep in which bed in erasure legal...... Still, as Lucia, she didn't seem to want Catalina to sleep with her in her own bed.

That's not to say, though, because she hated Catalina, but because there were major reasons why nothing else could be done... I will just mention that Lucia has a bad sleeping minister because it will be longer to explain.

Then not long ago, this time, Catalina woke up.

"Mr. Waltz, and... Lucia. Good morning. I don't know what to say yesterday... I was so happy..."

"Ugh......" puffy

"I... didn't see anything..."

And while I was telling you, last night, I didn't have to recall Lucia sleeping like a pillow about Catalina.

However, when you touch that, you thought it would be a lot of trouble... She asked Catalina questions, as if to change the subject.

"Is that it, Catalina? Besides your monk-like clothes, you had them, didn't you?

"Ah, yes. Because of course, I carry that with me everyday. My bag, my spatial expansion enchant, is hanging so that I can load a lot more than I look, right?

"I see. (The hunter's bag was the same, but it's the same, I guess)"

and that Waltz, recalling the knowledge of the Enchant acquired at the Martial Arts Store, contemplates a physical interpretation of "what is spatial expansion” ——

"Oh, yeah! Sister, what about the clothes you bought?

—— Lucia, who was still in underwear, threw such a question at Waltz, remembering that there was no luggage in the room.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Yes This" Gacon

"Thank you, sister! Clothing ~ ♪ Clothing ~ ♪"

That being said, Lucia runs away from the spot, hitting and changing from the look on her face until just before, crossing her nose. Apparently, she's going to have a fashion show soon.

"Mr. Waltz's that... what's going on?

"Huh? This? It's a cargo container, but don't worry too much about it, okay?" Gacon

"Ha... (It's not like an item box... what principle is it in?

"Well, Catalina? I'm sorry I just woke up... we're going out, right?

"What...?

Where the hell are you going from this morning...

Catalina doesn't know, but there are only two things Waltz does in this village in the morning. That is, hunting or eating in a liquor store.

Especially since one of them hasn't returned yet, I can't even try.
