Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When the brave men were on their way to the King's Capital while becoming Hethet in vain.

There was a shadow visiting the room of a ghost (Syranui) sleeping in a covered bed.

"... hey, Silanui? You're not having breakfast?

A hunter, worried about Silanui, who did not show her face in the dining room (Energia) even at breakfast time, came to see how she was doing.

But such a hunter's concern is backwards,

"... zzz"

Silanui put her legs and arms out of the futon and slept in large letters.

For a long time, he's a bad sleeper.

"If you look at it this way, you look like a little girl more than Lucia..."

Since Shiranui is 15 years old, he is the same age as Waltz.

Well, still three below the hunter.

"... I'll let you sleep a little more"

Somehow, feeling like waking up a sleeping child, the hunter stopped waking up Silanui.

And fix the futon that was off so Syranui wouldn't catch a cold.

"(I really just want you to have breakfast while it's warm... well, it looks like you were working late last night, and you won't have a choice)"

And the hunter left his meal and his letter on his desk and quietly left the room.

Why are hunters in Mid-Eden, not South Fortress, who have ruined their homeland unharmed?

The story was simple: until the other day, her parents, who had been treated for Catalina in the Royal Castle, were to return to South Fortress, and instead remained in the Wang Capital to act as a representative and focal point for South Fortress.

At first, she was a hunter who insisted on going to South Fortress herself, but because two of her brothers, who had served as clerks (local government officials), were to return to South Fortress instead, and because the Counts and their parents were asked to remain as deputies for South Fortress in the King's Capital as before (to come), she decided to remain in one King's Capital.

"Point of contact..."

After returning the dishes used for the dining room, the hunter muttered so as he walked down the hallway of the royal castle towards the conference room.

What the hell am I supposed to do to rebuild South Fortress?

The hunter was troubled by being a hunter.

The job of deputizing delegates entrusted to her is not that difficult.

1, Interview the communication from Parliament as a representative of South Fortress and communicate it to the Counts

2, communicating the views of the Counts to Parliament

... literally, I was only a transmitter.

But even though it's just a point of contact, there's representation.

In the event of an unexpected occurrence of itself, a certain degree of decisiveness had been left to it in the form of ex post facto consent.

In short, I would say that hunters have the freedom to act independently and to the benefit of South Fortress.

"(But what should I do...?

If you think about it normally, would you sign a contract with the state and other aristocrats who can be trusted to borrow reconstruction funds?

Of course, it cannot be decided independently, but in the sense of gathering information and rooting, there was scope for hunters to work as well.

... if that's normal.

But this time, South Fortress took devastating damage because Waltz and the others (...) were blinded to the gods in the first place.

So there's no reason why the waltz that caused it would contribute to the reconstruction fund... so it was supposed to be borne in full through Mid-Eden's state.

It is called a special budget for reconstruction.

... Well, when Mid-Eden went from feudal to parliamentary, the reconstruction budget would come down from the country, even if the cities were damaged by disasters and conflicts that weren't caused by the waltzes, because the country's hubs changed to determine the amount of taxes and budget allocation...

"(... you have nothing to do...)"

Technically, I do not have any work to do, such as to participate in Parliament as a representative agent or to report to Parliament on the state of reconstruction.

But it wasn't what she thought it would be, because it was like a duty to represent her.

"(... well, think while you're in Congress)"

I came all the way to the front of the conference room, so the hunter stopped thinking for now.

About half an hour after the meeting began.

"... then, on the next agenda"

and Cortex imitates Teresa and proceeds with the meeting.

... but somehow, there's usually a shadow fighter who's supposed to be there (Teresa?) I didn't see him.

Rarely, did I have any urgent business?

... Meanwhile, the hunter,

"(... if you send craftsmen from all over the country, we'll rebuild South Fortress soon too...)"

I wasn't in the meeting at all.

"(But if there's a shortage of craftsmen or something in other cities, it's important... isn't there...)"

A hunter who thinks of it as, uh, not even this one.

Then,

"That's why... Elizabeth (Hunter) Representation"

Suddenly, the voice of the Speaker (Cortex) reaches the ear of the hunter, who had thought nothing to do with the meeting.

"... Huh? Oh, yes."

Unexpectedly, a hunter to affirm.

"Uh-huh. So we'll set up a working group later on this proposal."

"... Huh!?

... Something seems to have gone on where the hunter doesn't know (haven't heard).

"Okay, next agenda."

"Hey..."

A hunter trying to hear what the hell he was talking about.

But because Cortex moved on to the next one, I was upset to hear what he was talking about.

... No, in the first place, you can't say in front of the senators that you wanted me to tell you because you weren't listening to the meeting.

"(... what do we do...?

A hunter whose face gradually turns blue.

But in the end, I didn't know what I was talking about and the meeting was over.

"Corte... Chancellor! Wait for me!

A hunter who stops Cortex trying to get out of the conference room.

But...

"Excuse me, hunter. My sister is calling me on urgent business right now ~"

"Oh, yeah... sorry to call you off"

And with Atlas running away for some reason (?), Cortex moving on to the underground large workshop where Waltz would be.

On leaving,

"Oh, hunter? Don't forget to join the work group from 5 o'clock ~? It's for South Fortress ~"

"... ah, ah"

And Cortex walked away from the conference room.

"... five o'clock..."

There will be political entanglements, so hunters who were resistant to hearing what was going on from the senators around them.

I had no choice, so I decided to ask directly at the work group.

... In doing so,

"Wasn't that... now, Master Teresa, a normal chat?

"It's part of character making. Probably."

"I knew you were...?

And the senators were rumouring about Teresa, but neither Cortex nor the hunters would have noticed that...

Then, in a slightly smaller meeting room where time has come and strangely sharp-eyed bureaucrats have gathered, the working group begins.

... Early in the start,

"Now, Master Elizabeth, I would like the requirements"

"Hey... what!?

A hunter who is suddenly told a story by a man in the role of chancellor.

Apparently, the hunter has to say something.

... As far as the look on people's faces around them, at least, they don't seem to be talking about things like... funny.
