Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Hiccup!... No, don't stop... '

'Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... do you think you can avoid my special attack? It's time to pay your annual contribution!

I heard those words coming from inside the inn room.

The windows and doors are closed, and I don't know what's going on inside.

In other words, they didn't know what was going on in the room until they even opened it to Waltz.

Waltz and Lucia, however, were relieved to feel safe in the voices they had heard from inside because they were worried that Teresa was being attacked by Julia.

But Catalina, on the other hand, was different.

Julia is a succubus.

I mean, I imagined it from a voice that heard things being done that I couldn't say to my mouth.

So it was Catalina who first opened the door to the room.

Don!

Catalina opens the inn door with momentum.

He slipped into the room like a special unit entering the crime scene and raised his voice.

"What are you doing!

"Uh..." "Ah..."

The two froze.

That would be so.

For Teresa, Catalina looked like a user of 'Terrible Experimental Magic'.

She can't be looking like an angel in white who keeps creating chimeras without changing her expression in any way.

For Julia, she is the one who tried to torture herself.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're a bad person.

Such a Catalina came into the room in the shape of a ghost.

If Lucia was in the room, would even she, who is used to Catalina, cry?

"Ugh... no... the..."

It was Teresa who was supposed to be attacked by Julia.

"What is this view!

Waltz doesn't know, but apparently illusion magic is unfolding.

"The sea...?

Lucia shrugged when she saw how the room was.

"Wow, the concubines wanted to go to sea too... So I recreated the ocean in my room..."

Teresa leaning down with her ears and tails atrophied.

Apparently, he was creating the ocean with illusion and playing with water.

Wouldn't it actually be a very good VR?

For once, I could also see Teresa wearing something like a swimsuit on the waltz.

... but what does it mean that its design is the same as the usual outfit of a strangely exposed Julia (at Sacubas)?

I have never been to the sea, so could I not imagine a decent swimsuit?

Furthermore,

"The ocean is not such a puddle."

The sea didn't seem to be able to reproduce either.

In front of them, there would be a puddle of water just big.

Did Julia not point that out?

Maybe she's never seen the ocean either.

By the way, there was something wrong with that Julia from earlier.

Sticky...

Catalina pokes Julia at her fingertips.

... but no reply.

You're fainting.

Julia was passed out as she entered the floor.

Apparently, Catalina was pretty scared.

"Ha... I'm glad there's nothing... I mean, I'm sorry I suspected you"

Waltz floated Julia with gravity control and let her sleep in bed after she had her clothes changed into beautiful clothes.

Next, the coarse phase of the floor should also be applied.

"What the hell is wrong with you?

"Yeah... a lot of things... by the way, aren't you feeling well for a long time?

When I went out in the morning, I stayed calm for a long time.

"Oh... not this..."

and Teresa got a glass of water.

"The Inn Admiral gave it to me, but I told you it was a spring water that worked too much magic, right?

I mean, Mana in the true sense, does that mean?

"... it's not the water from the fountain."

"I hear it's spring water in the neighborhood. It's not from the fountain."

"Yes..."

Apparently, South Fortress is water (Mana?) Sounds like a town of...

(I wonder if there's an underground lake or something in the basement)

I think so, waltz trying to use a ground exploration radar for the first time in a long time.

But I remembered that Teresa had an important story to tell, and I decided to make it my next opportunity.

"Hey, Teresa."

The atmosphere that surrounded the waltz changes.

Teresa seemed to feel that too, solved the illusion and went back to the Japanese clothes she bought yesterday.

"I'm going to have to tell you something important, but will you listen to me?

"Ugh... um..."

Teresa worries that she might get kicked out of the party.

At the same time, I remember if I was able to do anything at this party.

But the more I remembered, the more other members came to mind, and I couldn't remember what I was doing.

Teresa slowly leaning over.

Sooner or later, I'm about to cry.

"Uh... I haven't said anything yet..."

"Wow, I hope you don't kick my concubine out..."

With tears in his eyes, he stares at Waltz.

(Ugh, wow... hard to say...)

"And anyway, I'm not talking about kicking you out or anything, so..."

When Waltz said that, Teresa seemed horrified.

"... but what I'm about to say is harder."

"What..."

I could not say it was a very good time for Waltz, but I felt like I couldn't say it in the end when I was spooked here, so I never said my intentions.

"The king's capital has fallen into the devil clan."

"What..."

It was from behind the waltz that I heard the words of consternation.

It's Julia's voice.

Apparently, he noticed.

"What does that mean?!

Julia raises a voice that I don't think she was fainting until earlier.

"... Is your husband named Vega?

"No, my Lord is Sirius the Demon King"

Behind Waltz's expectations, he seemed to be someone else.

"In the first place, Master Sirius wants to coexist with people. I can't imagine attacking another country."

"Right. He cared about people and demons alike."

Catalina also agreed with Julia, remembering Sirius, the demon king who ruled a town with his parents.

"And for that, you were doing inhumane things like letting them poison your back teeth?

"The poison was not imposed by the Demon King, but is specific to our intelligence unit."

I mean, a last resort to erase the fact that you were in intelligence, even if you didn't have important information.

"Yeah... but isn't that kind of information confidential?

"Ah..."

Then Yulia starts squirming with bumps on the item.

"I'm sorry, Demon King. I'm sorry, Demon King. I'm sorry..."

Earliest, it is a curse.

(I hope the Demon King isn't cursed...)

Well, it doesn't matter to Waltz.

And that's when Waltz got his sights back from Julia.

Don!

Teresa opened the door vigorously and jumped out of the inn.

(... well, you will)

Waltz skips directions to his peers about what he's going to do.

"Catalina, get in touch with the hunter and tempo. Julia and Lucia ask for food. I'll go after Teresa with my stuff, so I'll ask you to check out the inn. We'll meet at the front gate in two hours."

"Yeah," "Okay," "Yes..."

Waltz then wrapped the baggage of his companions there into a cargo container and chased Teresa out of the inn.

By that time, Teresa was running through the town.

Run at full speed as if chasing something.

Don!

"Hey, where the hell are you looking!

Hitting someone won't stop you from legging.

Gashan!

I knocked down and broke a bowl with flowers decorating it on the side of the road, and even if I injured my leg, it wouldn't stop.

"Hey, you, stop!

"Huh!"

Even if the knight could chase me, I used illusions unconsciously and shook them off.

She kept running for a while, in front of the fountain.

After all, we didn't get anywhere, we just kept running glued around town.

Realizing that, Teresa has become sexually sad.

"Uh-huh!!

I ate my teeth and cried without raising my voice.

Was it because of her princess?

Or is it the result of a whirlpool of grief over the ravages of the people and families (royalty), anger at the helpless self who ended up doing nothing, and hatred for the demons who attacked them?

Cry, cry full of strength without worrying about runny nose or drooling of saliva...

When I realized it, I couldn't even remember why I was crying.

Teresa squatted in front of the fountain.

And I get confused with my eyes without light.

People flow. Water flows. Clouds flow...

Even if her eyes were open, the sight would never come into her head.

Therefore, I never noticed that there were no people around me, and even quieter as the world had stopped.

In such a world, my voice sounds quiet.

"... there lived a girl somewhere"

"The girl had a lot of brothers and sisters, and she lived happily ever after."

"But one day, the girl was separated from her brother and sister."

"Being alone reminds me of the old days"

"We had a fight, we all had dinner, we played, we were sad, we were happy..."

"The more I remember, the more memories, the more tears..."

"But the girl never gave up walking."

"Look for everyone, day after day, day after day..."

"And now, without giving up, we keep looking."

"Don't regret it one day"

Waltz held him gently from behind Teresa, who was squatting.

And whine in your ear.

"Do you give up here?

Then a large tear overflowed Teresa's eyes again.

"... I don't like it."

"Then what do you want to do?

"I want to go and help!... but"

"But could it be too late?

"... um"

Lie down, Teresa.

"Teresa? Do you remember Catalina's dream?

"... if I had a life I could save, I dreamed I'd save it."

"Then what about Lucia?

"... I said I wanted to get rid of the war"

"Yes, hunters, temps, maybe Julia, they all have dreams.... So, what's your dream?

"... the dream of a concubine..."

... is to have your own country.

Waltz continued his words without waiting for Theresa's answer.

"Is this country... at least not the country where you live now?

"Concubine's... Country"

"If I give up here, won't I regret it one day?

Theresa heard the words and meditated her eyes.

And open your eyes.

Although those eyes were bright red for crying, they were her usual eyes.

Teresa held Waltz's hand, which was turned from behind, and said:

"Bye. It's too early to give up. There are companions here... and the Lord. If the King's capital is in trouble, there's no way anyone can stop here trying to keep a country!

"Right. Shall we go, then?"

"Um... by the way, what was that about... your lord?

"... come on, what do you think"

Waltz appropriately peeled off.

"Right..."

Teresa never pursued it in depth either.

It was Theresa, who was supposed to have recovered, but she didn't try to stay down, holding Waltz's hand, away.

Theresa opened her mouth when Waltz tried to ask what was going on.

"... Hmm, I see. Still a slippery hand inside..."

"Hey...!!

If I thought I wouldn't let go of my hand inside, I was apparently savoring the feel of Waltz's hand.

"That's forbidden!

Then Waltz, who was supposed to be behind Teresa, disappeared and came before Teresa.

"... well, I'll be there."

"... uhm"

Thus he took Teresa, who had recovered, and Waltz took her to the main entrance where his companions were waiting.

... Theresa, who was touching Waltz's hand, had something to worry about.

The first time I was holding Waltz's hand, the feeling was definitely that of a slippery woman.

But when Waltz disappeared and came out in front of her, there was something wrong with her hand.

It feels as if the yarn that makes up the cloth is suddenly solved.

Teresa was a little anxious about that feeling, but nothing particularly changed how Waltz was doing, so she easily disappeared from a corner of her memory as she walked around town with her.

When the sun leaned slightly, when the waltzes arrived in front of the main gate of the town, there were five companions and their drop-offs, as well as the appearance of the Countess.

"Long time no see, Count and Mistress. Is your body okay?

In the story of the hunter, he should have fallen from heat stroke.

"Yes, much easier thanks to Mr. Catalina"

I guess that means it's still hard.

Something that seems to work out with restorative magic, but the cause of heat stroke may not be so easy to heal, unlike injury, as it is caused by moisture, lack of salt, and even changes in ion concentration in cells.

"Really? Well, we'll take care of the King's Landing, so rest easy."

"I'm sorry, I've always been helped..."

"Right. Hopefully next time we can make up for something..."

The Countess has said that.

For Waltz, I just wanted to beg your pardon if I could, but...

"There's a villa near the sea, so why don't we invite you?

"... right. Might be sweet for your words."

I had promised to go to sea with my people, so I think Waltz is just fine.

And I remembered it was there.

"Oh, speaking of which, you didn't introduce a new and increased group of people,"

Then Waltz brings Teresa in front of him.

"I'll introduce you. This daughter is Teresa-Applefall. Uh, I'm the Fourth Princess."

"Eh..."

(Yeah, yeah, I wanted to see this reaction)

Long time no see, Count and Lady.

"Ha, long time no see"

"I apologize for any disrespect you may have caused me without realizing it"

"No, Lord Hunter always takes care of you, and you don't have to be afraid of that."

"Ha ha..."

(... hey, maybe I overdid it...)

Looks like it's become more important than Waltz expected.

The Count is still not feeling well, so he won't be able to put any more stress on his mind.

"Next time I introduce myself slowly... there's another one, more friends."

"What, are you treating me like a buddy?

"I hope you don't want to."

"No, definitely!

"... well, this girl is one of those increased people"

Nice to meet you, Julia.

Julia greeted her well, dying and understanding that her first impression was important.

"Oh, nice to meet you"

"Best wishes"

"So, Julia? Will you go back to where you were?

"What... is that okay?

"You can't keep anything from me, can you?

"Ah, yes. Okay."

Then Julia stops looking human and returns to her former (Sacubas) appearance.

And a couple who will be stunned again.

"Eh, Demon tribe, but you're not such a bad daughter, so it would help if you treated me as normal"

"... well, if that's what Mr. Waltz would say..."

"Right..."

... In the end, wouldn't your first impression suck?

For once, this country is at war with the Demons.

You can't help wondering what it's like to have a demon clan in your people.

Especially if we think about human beings and demons, we talk about what waltz is.

By the way.

I've always had the gaze to look at this one.

"... no, you can't let them in or anything."

"Yes, no. Such a thing..."

A water dragon.

Waltz had his neck out of the warehouse where he had destroyed the roof.

Is it a dragon cabin?

"... I mean, what do we do now?

"Yes, it is"

"By the way, are you okay without water?

When it comes to water dragons (sea serpents), they usually can't live without water.

But...

"Yes, it's not painful in this town for some reason, and it doesn't dry out."

Indeed, the water dragon's skin is matte... or null and has no dry atmosphere.

After all, does the gushing mana have anything to do with it?

"Hmm, well, you won't be able to get out of town for a while, and you're just gonna have to stay still, right?

If you go outside the city's boundaries, you could, again, be attacked by the Demon King.

"Ha, I understand"

"Uh, it's not an order..."

"No, because the Lord is gracious."

(Wow...)

Apparently, Waltz has a loyal servant.

Is it still a dog?

"What will you do, Count?

"We can't do anything about it, so I'm sorry, but we have to leave it to Mr. Waltz..."

"... then I want you to let me take an occasional walk within the boundaries of town... and then, food too..."

Hassle-free dragon (pet).

"Of course, there's never going to be anything like attacking people again, is there? Right?"

Nikowowo...

pointing a smile at the pet that the sound effect is likely to poke at.

"Ha ha..."

A water dragon that only lays flat on its head.

I never tried to gaze in a different way, not to say backwards.

"Yeah, I hope to that extent... but people in town get confused, so letting them take a walk right away means..."

"That's the only way. Besides, I'm not going to leave it forever. If we find out about the Demon King, we're moving him out."

"Okay."

Well, I don't know what's gonna happen...

At goodbye.

"Oh, yeah."

That being said, Waltz received what was from Tempo and gave it to the Count.

"If anything happens, please use this"

That's what I said, waltz giving you one of the old bangles.

"Is this...?

"Right... I think the owner of the armoury store knows more, so ask. Also, be aware that if you give this to someone, they will probably drown in power."

I'll just say.

"Huh..."

The Count doesn't know the effect of the bangle, so he didn't seem to react.

"Well, I'll be there."

"Yes, thank you"

"Take care of yourself, Liese"

"It's okay, Mother. They'll come with us."

Thus, the waltzes traveled to the next battlefield.
