Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Here we are, huh?

When Lucia opened the door to the chancellor's office, a large window to the terrace, which was behind the chancellor's dedicated desk, opened and a warm breeze came in.

Colorful flowers in the courtyard you can see from there.

And the king's capital, and the blue and shining trees in the mountains around it, was telling the story of the abundance of Mid-Eden.

Exactly, paradise may refer to these countries...

... Well, that's also the story, except for the 700m horned monolith sitting outside the king's capital.

"Was that carried by Lucia ~?

Cortex, who was looking at the surrounding view from the terrace, sees the monolith and throws the words.

"Yeah. I was wondering if it would be hard for your sister to go out of her way to the mine and get some stones, so I brought every mountain."

"Really ~. I knew that was a mountain ~..."

Cortex, who had received reports from West Fortress correspondents that the volcano in the southwest of the city had suddenly vanished, realized to Lucia's words what the raw material for the monolith in front of him was.

"Next time you erase the mountain, say it beforehand ~? It's hard to rewrite the map."

"Yeah, I got it."

Lucia returns a mild reply to Cortex's words.

By the way.

There was one person in the room who was silently listening to such an exchange.

It is Yuki the Snowwoman, the messenger of the Boreas Empire.

Apparently, he was opening the window because it was getting cold when he was closing the room.

... It seems that Yuki was rather listening to the two of them, silently, not, out of the blue.

"Ah, Yuki. Hello."

Yuki and Lucia, whose outfits were closer due to various circumstances, had been face-to-face several times each time, so they were already somewhat close.

Every time Lucia comes to visit Cortex, she will inevitably get along.

"... Master Lucia isn't actually a demon king or a demon god, is she?

"Ah! No, you can't, can you? Yuki. Before this, you said 'Lucia', not 'Lucia', and you said it!

"... Lucia."

"Yeah!... So, what were you talking about?

"No, it's nothing..."

It is a diagram of a 200s snowwoman flirting with an 11-year-old fox daughter.

"... So we're going to talk about why you called Lucia, right?

Cortex back from the terrace opened his mouth.

"Perhaps your sister made a request ~, but I'm going to ask Lucia to strive for a messenger to the Boreas Empire"

"What..."

Yuki solidified whether that word of Cortex was his first ear.

"That ~? Was there a problem ~?

Asking Yuki as Cortex leaned (blushed) his head,

"No, you're a very young messenger ~ and I thought..."

And I put my current appearance on the shelf and said why it was solidifying.

Of course, there's no way Lucia's convinced of her mouthfeel like that.

"Mmm... It's out of my mind. ~? Yuki..."

With his cheeks swollen, he uttered words of protest.

Then,

"Lucia? Generally speaking, talk about a girl like Lucia becoming a representative messenger of the country... hardly, so bear with me ~?

The dressed Speaker (acting) forgives Lucia while recalling the Speaker (real) of his country and the King that he is in a small neighboring country.

"Mm-hmm, right... Cor, Teresa, and me, but if you didn't have a sister, you wouldn't really be here..."

"... maybe so ~"

"Okay, you know what? Col."

And Lucia turned to Yuki.

"So, Yuki. I still don't know the right or left little girl, thank you very much."

That's what I say and I bow my head, Lucia.

... it should be noted that there are things that you don't actually know left or right...

"Uh... you don't have to be so hard... I'm just surprised. Besides, even I sometimes say, 'You little bitch!!' Cause the demon king around Boreas tells me..."

To a strangely realistic reproduction, Lucia unexpectedly loses her word.

Cortex, on the other hand, has found some company!, and so on, he turned his delightful gaze to Yuki.

"... then, Master Yuki. Lucia's accompaniment to Vixen, please ~?

"Yes. I got it."

"And then..."

and when Cortex tried to say something,

"Excuse me."

Julia and Sylvia showed up.

"... these two will accompany you as Lucia's assistant, so thank you very much."

"Yes, I don't mind."

Cortex mouths the story of his companion as he turns his gaze to Julia and Sylvia and Yuki pleasantly accepts it.

"... Huh?

... and Julia and Sylvia, who can't keep up with the talk and consolidate.

"Um, when we talked about Master Waltz, we talked about me not being a messenger, right?

"Uh-huh. I'm not exactly a messenger, but it would be helpful if you could escort Lucia and act as an intermediary to Master Sirius"

"Ah, yes. Ok. Well... I didn't think I'd be able to get home so soon."

With that said, Julia smiled.

"So, I mean, as usual, senior assistant, right?

"Yes, it is. The job description remains the same as usual. Sylvia would like Mid-Eden, or his messenger, to do something harmful with Julia's assistant in Search-and-Destroy."

"Ha!"

... to the words of Cortex, Julia and Sylvia, who correct their posture and salute them.

It's called a superior order.

Seeing such an exchange of three, Yuki... somehow, she was smiling.

Boreas Imperial Embassy Conference (?) and when three people came out of the chancellor's office, Lucia, Julia and Silvia, it was Julia who opened her mouth first.

"Ngah!!

... Apparently it's about to break.

"Duh, what's wrong, Julia?!

Even though I don't have a very good impression, Lucia gives a confused look to Julia, who started to break in front of me.

Then Sylvia follows.

"Uh, Master Lucia? Now leave him alone about the seniors"

"Is something wrong?

"Hmm, rather, should nothing be the problem?... uhhh... wow, me too..."

With that said, Sylvia somehow puts a handkerchief on her nose and gives her a tranced look.

"... wow"

Lucia accidentally pulled back on how Julia and Sylvia were doing.

... they realized that they were developing so-called withdrawal symptoms.

"... since when, you haven't seen your sister?

"Uh, three days and six hours and 21 minutes... 32 seconds, right?"

Sylvia answers with waltz and tempo precision.

Wouldn't it be strange to stop humans and start saying that they would be homunculus or android?

"I knew I hadn't seen him for three days. I think maybe your sister's... going to Ark's village right now, huh?

"... Huh?

"Because the Big Rin Rum (Clean Room) is only there. Besides, I don't think anyone wants to interrupt and..."

... Are you conscious, Julia and Sylvia, who push silence.

"If possible, leave him alone, will you?

"... yes"

"Okay..."

To Lucia's words, Shun, but the two returned the words.

The subject changes here.

"That's fine, both of you, about the envoy, thank you very much."

That said Lucia bows her head to the two of them.

"Eh... no, this is also my job..."

"Seniors are right. Responsible to the end..."

Julia and Sylvia can be wolfed by the sudden actions of Lucia.

Lucia listened to them like that.

"Yeah, you don't. To Sister Julia, Sister Sylvia"

At first glance (I heard), I uttered a word that was never going to happen.

But...

From Lucia, two people who didn't think their sister would make a statement give a startling look.

... yes, they also had a faint feeling that Lucia didn't think well of herself.

Of course that would go without saying that we had spoiled and accepted because we knew we had a cause for our actions.

"It's me, I know there are parts of me that don't lead to my actions. So on this journey, I thought I'd ask you to do that for me within the moment, because I might annoy your sister Julia or Sylvia..."

"Dear Lucia..."

Extremely impressed, Julia tears up her eyeballs.

"Ah! I'm telling everyone, don't call me" Lucia "like that, okay?

"What... is that okay!?

... somehow, Sylvia shouts her surprise.

"Yeah, of course!

"So, come on... Ru, Lucia..."

"Yes, Sylvia, sister!

"... Buha!

At that moment, Sylvia had a nosebleed and fell...

"What?!

Lucia with a startling look on her face.

To her like that, Sylvia said.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay! If you're a junior, will you call me by my name? Lucia."

"What... uh, yeah... Sister Julia?

"... su, awesome destructive power..."

... and somehow, I also got a nosebleed from Julia...

"What... Huh?! Hey, what?

"No... it's nothing, is it? Sa, junior! You'll always be bored out there, t... don't sleep, let's get ready for the trip?

"Yes. Well, then, Lucia. See you later..."

"Yeah, bullshit. Sister Julia and sister Sylvia."

... and with a nosebleed, the two walked down the hallway traceably...

"I don't know... I have weird chills. I wonder if you have a cold..."

Lucia returned to her room to support her journey, trapped in such a strange sensation.

And when Lucia reached her room in the basement workshop,

"Um, Master Lucia?

With some seemingly sorry voice color, Cortex spoke over the radio.

"Did you forget to say something?

'No... there's going to be a little problem, so I thought I'd hurry up and keep in touch ~...'

'... we're going to stop it somehow, but maybe tomorrow's council will summon Lady Lucia'

"Ugh, yeah... nothing, okay?

'That would be helpful if you could say so. So I'm going to start rooting, so I'll see you tomorrow for more details, so'

That's what Cortex said. He cut off the comms.

"I don't know what... well, come on"

It is thus that Lucia begins to prepare herself for the journey, without knowing a certain one proposal, which was being put forward among the senators of Mid-Eden.
