Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

... Everyone calmed down, late that night.

There were three shadows to gather in the chancellor's office of the royal castle...

"... can't you stop it ~?

"Honestly, it's not aromatic..."

"Didn't your sister say something?

"No... I'm in a totally sdand-a-loan state right now, repairing my manoeuvre armor, so I can't even have a conversation..."

"Why at this time..."

"... you have no choice. We're going to have to get on with it somehow."

"Worst case scenario, take it in the direction that your sister will come back and make it obsolete or give you alternatives..."

"Right ~. If this is unavoidable at the moment, let's move forward in the direction of whether we should try to minimize the risk when planning or do something about it afterwards."

... the next day.

On this day, it was raining in the morning.

That's not just rain either.

Thunder sounded, the wind blew and the temperature was low.

It's like a sign of what's about to happen...

Nevertheless, it was an irrelevant story in an underground large workshop where the sky was invisible.

... Still, the invisible storm was about to blow inside the workshop as well.

"Lucia..."

Today's lunch also comes to Lucia, where she was comparing Inari sushi eating, with a serious face Atlas.

To such Atlas, pean your ears and tail! And stretch, nervous Lucia.

"(Hey, what?! Could it be... come on, this is...)"

... somehow, when Lucia is turning her face bright red,

"... sorry, I couldn't stop the senators..."

Atlas sat... down in front of her.

"It's my fault..."

Lucia looks sincerely sorry to see Atlas like that.

The look on that face is starting to resemble my sister's... I guess it's my fault.

"Hey, Atlas... what are you talking about?

"... for now, come to the chancellor's office. I'll talk more about it there."

Leaving only that word, Atlas hurried back to the royal castle.

... Apparently, rooting for the senators is still going on.

Lucia, who has no idea what's going on.

Together, if I went to the chancellor's office, they would get an explanation, so I decided to place the Inari sushi in front of me in my stomach and then head to Royal Castle.

Concon

"Coming in?

Lucia wore half of the maid's clothes that she normally wore this day, as she had always come to the Imperial Castle with her body of working as a maid dedicated to the chancellor.

"Ooh..."

Entering the chancellor's office, several other senators besides the Cortex await Lucia's arrival, raising a voice close to cheering.

Previously, Lucia had come to the Speaker's office to meet the senators face-to-face several times, so having a senator did not make her nervous.

But that was because the senator's attention was not to himself, but to Cortex and Teresa.

... But now, all the gaze of multiple senators is right for me, and for the first time in my life, I'm going to taste the tension caused by the gaze of others.

"This, my brothers! Don't turn that bloody gaze on my concubine's maid!

On your body, Cortex wearing Teresa's skin (?), but raise your voice to defend Lucia like that.

"But Master Teresa. Master Lucia has the same Mid-Eden treasure. There's no way you're turning your hopeful gaze, is there?

"Dear Left, Only Lucia will be able to dispel our worries in this country. It makes sense, then, to have expectations"

"Hmm... a fox man... I don't know if it's my fault that I feel something that's causing me..."

"Now, it's not officially decided. At least until then, can't you keep quiet?

To the words of Cortex, thoughtful senators.

It seems that they decided to take Teresa's advice as to whether they thought about the various events that would happen around Lucia in the future.

"Okay, Speaker Teresa. Regards to Lucia on her summons to Parliament today"

The door of the room closed quietly when the senator, who had left the Speaker's office behind at the end, left such words...

"... hey, what happened? Col."

Lucia, who was almost stuck in her breath and wondered if something could be done about it, opened up with the senators gone and raised a voice of doubt to spit out.

To Lucia's words, the Cortex that pushes silence.

... then,

"... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Miss Lucia..."

With that said, she... Theresa cried.

"Ah... I'm sorry I made a mistake. You were Teresa..."

"No, that's fine... The problem is, Miss Lucia... it's not about the Lord..."

"What happened?

"Um... listen to me..."

And Teresa wiped her tears and snot with scrap paper that was nearby... and talked about the possibility that it wasn't zero.

"... Miss Lucia. Your lord... is to be certified as a Mid-Eden brave..."

"... Huh?

Lucia in how Teresa's words are incomprehensible.

"Now that Cole and Atlas are rooting for us against the senators, perhaps we can't afford not to have talked about the Lord's brave certification..."

"... that I... brave...?

"Hmm. Apparently, someone saw the Lord when he transferred the giant dice outside..."

... In a nutshell, can you say the harm of the metamagic network, deployed by the Waltz and others throughout Mid-Eden?

Just because someone sees an unusual sight, that information instantly spreads across the country.

Perhaps someone in West Fortress saw Lucia exercising her magic towards the volcano.

Or maybe someone saw the little sun she created over the sky.

Or it wasn't strange to see someone... watching him blow up a deserted island off the coast of South Fortress as he rode into energy, exercising the magic of great output to reclaim the king's capital.

... In short, it was only a matter of time.

Above all, the problem would have been that at this time without Waltz, a bill would have been put forward to certify the brave Lucia.

If she had, it would have been easy to use pressure (lock-on) to twist and bend the council.

But now Waltz is doing a hologram restoration in the village of Alk.

I couldn't do anything to Teresa, Cortex or anyone more than get in touch with her...

"... well..."

With a deep sigh, Lucia understands the situation in which she was placed.

My head was about to turn white for all the questions that sprang up, but I didn't know what was fundamental in the first place, so I just mouthed that question.

"... what do you have to do when you're a brave man?

"Right... The brave man who was in the Mid-Eden kingdom to taste it seems to have interacted with the surrounding countries on behalf of the country, guided soldiers in the military to increase their strength, and fought demon kings and demon gods..."

"Hmm... well, I... wonder if I'm going to be your sister's enemy"

"Of course, being brave doesn't fight your sister, does it?

"... that's what I thought you'd say."

With that said, Teresa grins in her bitter expression.

"And? So far, even if there is a biography of saving the country from the demon gods, they have not told us that they defeated the demon gods. Being a brave man probably shouldn't put you in a situation where you can't avoid fighting Waltz."

"Well... yeah, good"

Even then, Lucia taught Theresa the story of an ancient brave man who was in Mid-Eden.

"... the meeting starts at 3: 00. You don't have to wear made-up clothes to walk around the royal castle any more, do you?

"... yeah. But this clothes, it's what your sister gave me..."

"Right... um. Then why don't you come with me to the council because it's good to stay in that outfit?

"Yeah. You don't have a choice, do you?

"... you want me to forgive my impudent concubines..."

"Isn't it really a pleasure? When I say brave, you're the representative of the country, right?

"Mm-hmm. But I don't like being a brave man, but I have to put myself in the fight. In other words, it's not like a sacrifice created by the country. The concubine didn't want your lord to be like that."

"Oh well... yeah. It's okay. We'll figure it out!

Lucia, who said so with a full smile, placed her hand on Teresa's head and stroked it.

"Pfft... isn't this as if the concubine is energized the other way around?

"It's okay, isn't it? Will Teresa be a brave man with you at this time?

"Well... think about it. You're looking at it now, aren't you, Miss Lucia? The battle between the concubines and the colts is coming!

"Yeah! I'll do my best too!

... and Parliament was held on time.

As a result... Parliament's resolution could not be avoided, but Lucia officially became the brave carrier of Mid-Eden representatives...
