Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Then I interrupt one of Lucia's fashion shows and then...

The three waltzes came to the tavern and village chief's house opposite their house. They apparently had no choice but to make their own breakfast. Especially since I haven't made a kitchen in the house, I can't even cook it.

"Um... what is this place?

"That was your first time in Catalina, right here in the tavern. Actually, it's here... it's also the village chief's house."

"Is that what you mean...... So I'm going to go say hello because I'm going to be living in this village again, right?

"Well, about half the time, that's what it's all about..."

"So what's the remaining 75%...?

"Well of course... I'm just gonna go get breakfast?

"Really............ yes?

Catalina in how Waltz suddenly didn't know what to say and doubted her ears.

Lucia, who was well aware of the circumstances, briefly explained to her why she had come here.

"Uh, hey, my sister and I, we treat the liquor store owner every day. That's for free, too, right?

"Oh really... (Mr. Village Chief replaces him...? But as far as you two are concerned, that doesn't seem to be the case... what does that mean?

What can I do to get breakfast at the village chief's house... Catalina, who couldn't imagine, seems to have tilted her neck.

Perceiving the circumstance roughly from the seemingly difficult look Catalina had on her face like that, Waltz remembered that he had not yet explained it to her, and began to talk about its contents as he hung his hand at the liquor store door.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I didn't tell Catalina, because while we're in this village, we're supposed to go hunting and hunt demons on a regular basis. Of course, Catalina will join you in that, won't she?... Even so, hunter, I don't think it's been a while because I haven't returned and I think the warehouse is still full, huh?... that's why you can eat free rice every day in the tavern?

"Was it...... That's very good treatment, isn't it?

"Right? I think so, too."

That's what I said, a smile, a waltz pulling the hand I hung on the door in front of me.

And they went into the liquor store, as they always did.

"" I'm sorry!

"Um... sorry"

Shortly after entering the tavern, behind the counter, the three waltzes threw a reflexive greeting.

Then there, by chance, seemed to be a liquor store owner.

"Hmm? Ooh. Good morning, ladies. From South Fortress, are you home yet?

"" Yes ""

"But... hmm? It's been three days, right? Three days on the way home, right? It's today after here... day seven, right? If it was yesterday that you came back... you could barely be in town, could you?... Was there a problem?

"Well, it's a problem, something like a problem happened, but nothing happened, right? Also, it did take 3 days to get there, but when I hurried home I moved... it took me 3 hours"

"Really............ what?

Whether Waltz's words contained any unintelligible remarks, the owner of the liquor store who solidifies in a way that doubted his ears.

Just because they acted beyond their own imagination in an unprincipled way from time to time... As soon as the shopkeeper regained his mind, he asked questions about the tall fox daughter who was there.

"Well, okay. So... who is this guy?

In contrast, Catalina herself replies.

"Nice to meet you, store owner. My name is Catalina. I'm going to take care of Mr. Waltz from now on, thank you very much."

"Oh, thank you very much for this... I'm Nicola, the owner of this tavern. For once, the mayor of this village is doing the same thing... if these ladies can't do the trick, you can always run to me, right?

"Uh... maybe it's me who's saying the impossible, so I think it's okay"

With that said, Catalina reminds Waltz that she volunteered to be an apprentice. It should be noted that there is no response from Waltz to this point. Nevertheless, it does not appear to have been refused.

"I already told the owner. There's no way you can plug that up. Have you ever plucked it once? Already...... Well, leave that, breakfast. That's for three, too!

"... lady. You're saying that on purpose?

"What? What?

"No... nothing... I'll make it now, just give me a minute..."

And he said so with a frightened look on his face somewhere... And the owner of the tavern who starts preparing the waltzes for breakfast.

Note that for the reason that Catalina and Lucia, who were listening to that conversation, had something to say about the look on their face —— well, let's just say it's unknown.
