Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

4 Previous-01 At the beginning of the journey

Yesterday, the hunter did not go home and stayed in the workshop.

And I haven't added more beds since the tempo started (...) moving (...).

I mean, for two, we don't have enough beds.

So everyone took the choice not to sleep in bed.

So, what's going on?

It's Waltz's turn to control gravity.

Everyone is in their own sleeping bags and floating in the air.

No gravity, not rebellion working on the floor, so it feels like sleeping on a bed of air.

As for the atmosphere, I tried to realize some kind of dream of trying to sleep on a cloud that floats in the sky, etc.

After everyone had calmed down, Waltz realized there was.

Actually, this antigravity bed, it weighs a whole lot.

The point is, the heavier it sinks.

(... why)

It is obvious that Lucia is the lightest.

The next lighter was the hunter.

Catalina, on the other hand, is a little more sinking than the hunter because of her good development.

We need retaliation later.

But the problem is tempo.

Heavier than it looks.

No, should I say it's too heavy?

Probably about three times the average person.

Android, homunculus, man-made man... there are many ways to say it.

In the process of making it, I use a large amount of metal in my skeleton, so I can't help but be heavy.

But since I used the alloy foam, it shouldn't be that heavy.

(Even if it's heavy, I was wondering if it's about 40% more than normal people...)

Waltz, despite being a designer, had no idea.

Morning is here.

The first person to wake up is the hunter.

Sometimes boulders just have early mornings.

Is it more like an elementary school student who couldn't sleep looking forward to the next day's excursion?

I can't wake up while I'm floating, so I put it down on the ground.

"Good morning. Mr. Hunter."

"Hmm? Good morning. Was Waltz awake?

"Well, that's the place"

(No way, I can't say I haven't slept)

Speaking of which, you had another guy awake... reminds me, temps down too.

"Good morning. Your sister."

"Yeah, good morning."

Sleepy face tempo.

That's the usual look.

"How was it, hunter? How comfortable is your airbed?

Probably will take care of you on your upcoming journey, ask about the comfort of your anti-gravity bed.

"Oh, that's exactly what you dream about. If you insist, there's a trick to turning over."

"I see... I will do good"

"No, no, it's not a big deal."

It's floating in the universe, so I don't have anything to grab.

In other words, since there is nothing to support me when I turn around, it seems that I could only sleep in the back (...) toward (...) Kazu (...) Fushi (...).

By the way, this way I can breathe even if I sleep on my back.

In fact, Lucia sleeps in a depression... but apparently she drips of covetousness.

The floor is amazing... no, let's not go into any more commentary in his honor.

Thus we celebrated the morning of the beginning of our journey.

Treat the owner of the tavern to his last meal in the village.

"Well... it's the last time you'll see Mr. Tempo today..."

It's the owner of the liquor store who talks like that.

What happened to us? I think it was waltz, but I can feel it in my mouth.

instead,

"Yes."

and Tempo responded instantly.

And would that hurt the owner of the liquor store?, and worried, so Waltz follows.

"Maybe don't worry too much because I come back often"

"... hey, this is a separate product from me"

That said, the liquor store owner has handed over the camping cookware.

Previously, the cookware lent to me by the hunter has been flushed by Lucian water magic and lost.

So this gift was honestly a pleasure for the Waltz and the others.

"Thank you. Let me use it dearly."

"Holy shit! If I lost it, I wouldn't know, would I?

The tone was backwards, and he was a grinning shopkeeper.

"Okay, I'll be there"

After completing the individual greetings, the hunter gives his farewell greetings to the people of the village who picked him up.

Of course there were not only hunters, but also Lucia and Catalina drop-offs.

However, as the tempo is shallow, I guess in Waltz's case.

"Oh, I'm fine. Have a good trip!

The answer is the owner of the liquor store (village manager).

"Well, look forward to your souvenirs!

Thus, the waltzes set off.

For Waltz, who has no decent acquaintance other than the owner of the tavern, it's a simple journey.

After Waltz and the others left.

"Hey, village chief. Who's going to hunt now?

A farmer man asks the village chief.

"Well, like old times, we're all gonna have to do it, right?

"Well... I've made it a lot easier."

"Ah..."

"Not only are you a knight, but, you know, Waltz's daughter, she's been working pretty hard, right?

Other villagers join the conversation.

"Right. That lady seems to be highly familiar, but maybe the hardest thing I've been working on is that lady..."

"Maybe..."

Surprisingly, the villagers don't seem to appreciate Waltz badly.

I have no reason to know who I am.

When they left the village, Waltz and the others were each walking with their luggage.

This is because from the beginning, when you transport your luggage using a manoeuvred armored cargo container, you say, "Hey guys, what happened to your luggage? ♪ And it's a hassle to get stuck in a liquor store owner ♪, due to a suggestion from Waltz that

Whether or not there is a scratch is only Waltz's imagination.

By the way, Waltz forgot something serious.

"Well, guys. I'll take care of your stuff, okay?

"... oh, you did"

Apparently, the hunter was going to take his own luggage.

(In the name of training, let yourself have it... when you stop being mean)

Well, and Waltz opened the lid on the cargo container.

"... ah"

"Hmm? What's going on? Forget something?"

It was the hunter who looked inside the cargo container and asked Waltz, who was solidifying.

The waltz then

"... heh heh"

I laughed spookily.

And tempo understands.

My sister broke, he said.

"Sister!?

I usually have a rare half-eyed tempo and am surprised to open my eyes.

But Waltz opens his mouth to such a concern for his sister (Tempo).

"No, no, you guys?

Apparently, it's not broken, but it's not looking right.

We look suspicious together.

But Waltz showed off one ring with a suspicious grin about not noticing the reaction of those fellows.

"What do you think of this?

"... what? This?"

"I don't know. And Catalina?"

"No, I don't know... but it looks like the ring the brave man wore..."

Catalina looking at unexpected details.

Is it finger fetish?

"This was so expensive..."

"How much?"

"... 180 million gold"

"... what?

My buddies' voices overlapped.

"Hey, wait. Did you just hang nearly 200 million dollars on the ring?!

"Yeah, under all circumstances."

"Maybe if I put this on... you could jump the sky or something?

"No, Lucia. I can fly, but I don't buy flying items on purpose."

"So it's a ghost enchant ring, huh?

"What's a ghost enchant..."

"Really? Finally, hands on the novice religion..."

"Then I'm the patriarch. I guess."

Apparently, you're not going to get close to the answer.

The closest was Catalina?

"This is an item box, right?

"... what?

Again, my buddies' voices humbled.

"No, no, Waltz has an item box, right?

"No, so this is... ah"

That reminds me of something more important than an item box.

And with a sigh, he put his manoeuvre armor in the visible state.

"Huh!?!!?"

The hunter opened his eyes, his tail swelled and became like a cat threatening.

She had never seen any manoeuvres yet.

To the iron giant who stands in front of him, he is passing through relieved and turning bright white, into the ground.

"I always use a (...) i (...) te (...) m (...) bo (...) h (...) k (...) s (...) about this, it doesn't mean there's a lot of stuff in it, does it?

So I let him open the cargo container on the chest of the manoeuvre armor.

"Oh, it was here."

Lucia looked interesting.

"Maybe if it's Lucia, we'll go in, right?... just kidding."

misled because Lucia looked sad for some reason,

"Sister, I hate you"

I couldn't seem to delude myself.

Damage Control Failed,... Gu Ha!!, and waltz lying on the ground.

Apparently, Lucia, I'm not a thing!, and he seems angry.

"Sorry, I won't tell you anymore. So forgive me..."

"Really? Say no more?

"Absolutely!"

"Then you have no choice."

Apparently, he was forgiven.

Happy to see the unusual side of wolfish waltz, he had a full grin.

By the way, what happened to the hunter... was still white.

"Mr. Hunter? Notice that!

Grab and shake the hunter with the arm of manoeuvre armor instead of the holographized waltz hand (...).

"Ka-riwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

(People in this world seem to harden when they're surprised, but is that the physiological phenomenon?

Instead, Waltz has hardly ever met a human on Earth, so there's no way to compare it.

He doesn't seem to realize it.

For a while, shaking the hunter,

"Ha... ko, what the hell is this?!

Looks like he gave it back to me.

Waltz grabbed the hunter who was going into the ground and made him stand.

"This? Uh, it's me, but..."

That said, turn off the hologram.

"This is me, Waltz."

Hunters starting to get confused again.

Waltz is gone, and instead I hear a waltz from an iron giant.

"Already, hunter, too surprised!

"That's right. It's rude to be too surprised."

That's Lucia and Catalina.

It doesn't look like it moved at all, and it turns to follow.

"... Ha, a dream..."

"No, that development is strange"

After a while, the hunter finally settles down.

And I opened my mouth.

"I mean... waltz, you can transform, right?

(Um, close. infinitely close to the right answer, but a mistake)

"... well, that's the place"

Waltz, who decided that it was unlikely that he would understand even if explained correctly, could transform.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've spoken..."

That said, display the original figure and visualize the manoeuvre armor.

And pick the ring,

"This is the item box."

and went back to the subject earlier.

"I see. This makes mining and material collection easier!

"Yeah, but there's only one problem..."

And, cut it out.

"Actually, I can't use this. I can't get my fingers in..."

That's what I'm saying, just show you the hand of manoeuvre armor.

"... oh, I see"

One finger is about the thickness of Catalina's thigh.

It's certainly not going to come in either.

"So someone, hold the item box! Or put it on!

I have no response from my peers.

"You know, Mr. Waltz. Isn't this a considerable responsibility?

I mean, what would you do if you were caught or killed while holding an item box full of valuables?, which means.

Well, I don't have a choice, so I can fix it.

Rather, the implication may be stronger as to what I would do if I lost it due to my carelessness or something.

In addition, someone could be targeting you for having an item box.

Thinking about it, I can't keep it with Lucia, Catalina, the hunter, anyone of them.

When that happens, the only person who should have the ring is tempo himself.

"... then, tempo."

"Yes?"

(If it's tempo, even if it's broken somewhat, you can fix it...)

"... have you thought of anything rude? Your sister?

"No, tempo, there's something surprisingly solid about it, so be appropriate"

"... I'm not convinced of a lot of things, but fine. I am responsible for managing items."

Thus the tempo became the transporter.

By the way, Lucia was thinking from around where Waltz showed reinforced armor.

I slept with Waltz or was stroked in the head, but it wasn't mechanical at all.

Even when I held my hand, it usually felt soft and warm, but I wondered what the hell was going on.

The day I find out the answer to that...

That's right, and another line that I've forgotten is serious.

It's important that you decide before you start your journey.

"What were we... traveling for?

Reminds me as I walk down the street.

"Ah..."

Non-tempo members react.

Apparently, everyone forgot.

I was told that the snack was 300 yen, but I forgot to bring it in the first place. Is that the pattern?

"After all, you couldn't decide while you were in town buying out..."

"So here's a suggestion from me"

"Hmm?"

Apparently, Catalina provides the purpose of the journey.

"Let's go to the castle town of Demon King Castle!

"... what?

(What's wrong, Catalina? Are you going to take down even the Demon King? I told you before, we should leave it to the artisans, right?

And I think inside Waltz.

Catalina continues her words.

"There are some of the best underground dungeons in the world in the castle of the Demon King."

"Hmm, I see. Perfect place to practice magic."

"It's just that it's hard to get that far again, but if you think of it as training, isn't it in good shape"

"By the way, has Catalina been there?

Then the unexpected answer returns.

"Yep. I have my parents."

"... uh, Mr. Catalina is an associate of the Demon King?

"No, you don't"

Waltz was wondering what Catalina would do if she said she was an associate of the Demon King.

Well, to the extent that if it's going to be a hassle, I'll consider running away.

"Actually, the reason I was with the braves was because I wondered if I could go back to my parents"

"Maybe it's such a hard journey that you can't go home?

I don't ask you why you're away from home.

Catalina, who does not have the ability of a metastatic system, and an unintentional large move from her home.

Guess from there, it's probably not a busy reason.

"Yes, in a concurrent adventurer, you're in a place where you don't even have to live, and the distance is so... well, how about we go north through this country and talk about two places beyond the country"

It's quite a walk away.

"Then I'll give you a ride home?

If that's what she wants, though.

"... Do you remember the story I told the wise man?

"Of the brave party?

"Yes."

(You did say something targeted then that would bring you closest to whether it was an end or a dream to be with me...)

"It's just a dream...?

"Yes, I want to save so many lives that I may not be able to save."

(You know what...)

"Being a monk, I could only mourn a soul I had never been able to save. But if I'm going to be, I might be able to save lives that I wouldn't normally be able to. So I figured if I stayed with Mr. Waltz and acquired all kinds of knowledge, I'd be closest to dreaming."

(But there are still lives I can't save... is that okay?

And I guess it's impeccable to ask.

Even if she hears that, she must respond straight to "yes".

"Yes..."

Waltz replied to Catalina inside himself.

"Can we all travel to the castle town of Demon King Castle and attack the dungeon?

Then, everyone, snort.

Apparently, the purpose of this journey has been decided.

At all, it was a sigh of waltz that wasn't a conversation a woman would have.
