Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Scenes, and in a quiet cathedral, Mid-Eden senators, as well as dignitaries from various countries, priests and a select few king metropolitan people, watched quietly Lucia's baptismal ceremony.

It would be inconvenient for some of our fellow citizens, who are not regular King Metropolitan citizens, not to come here.

"You, Lucia, have been chosen as the righteous brave man of Mid-Eden, the source of the covenant with the gods that are united in heaven, to represent God..."

Pope of the Church of the Nation, who speaks in a prolonged and thankful way.

And Lucia kneels (kneels first) in front of the Pope nervously as he is about to be drunk by the air surrounding the field.

The doors of the church, which were strictly enforced by such actors...

Dovan!!

And someone came in with a kick.

"Lucia!"

... is Atlas.

He came aboard the barricades made by the guards, single-handedly, without a thing.

"Atlas! What are you doing!

... Now it's time for Cortex, who pretended to be genuine, Teresa, to raise his voice to the folly of such brothers.

"I'm just doing something I regret if I don't do it now! Don't stop, Cortex!

Atlas mouths her true name in front of a large crowd watching.

Fortunately, it seemed impossible for those who did not know the circumstances to deduce that she was the fake Speaker Teresa in the name of Cortex.

"Hey, Lucia. If we keep this up, you, you're gonna have to take unnecessary responsibility and turn the job around like you have to dye your hands in blood, okay? Still okay?!

Atlas shifts her gaze from the closed Cortex to Lucia and raises her voice to spit out.

... To his words like that, Lucia, kneeling before the Pope, rises and looks back.

On her face I looked back... there was a gentle grin, like I saw somewhere.

"... atlas-kun. Me, I was thinking. I wonder what the hell I can do while my sisters and brothers live with their dreams and goals..."

With that said, Lucia cuts her words once, meditates her eyes, and then opens her mouth again.

"Atlas, you said it, didn't you? He said people with strong powers are going to have just as great a risk. And it's not just about risk, it's about how you use it to help save people."

"It's me, I'm wondering if this might be my chance. Become a brave man, run around the world, help people in need... and maybe you'll get rid of demons and demon kings once in a while... but I've got power, I can't help it."

"No, Lucia, there's no choice..."

"It was a dream, wasn't it? Be someone who can help people."

To Lucia's words, Theresa and the hunter recall the words she herself uttered.

Cortex, Strella, and Atlas, who were there, also evoke Lucia's dreams from the memories given to her by her sister (Waltz).

"... you don't regret it, do you?

"Yeah."

"... right"

To Lucia, who agreed not to get lost, Atlas gave up.

"... take him"

"... Ha!

... and Atlas, for once, spoke to the guard hitting his men and went off the stage himself.

Since Atlas disappeared, Lucia's ear has also been filled with voices in the senator who talks about his treatment.

"(Atlas... it's late to come... Too bad timing, this, isn't going to be a big deal later...?

With that in mind, Lucia sends a sad glance only for a moment toward the door from which Atlas left.

Among other things,

"... I apologize for the rude imitation of my men. When this ritual is over, the concubine will take responsibility."

The noise finally subsided on the voice of Cortex ringing within the confused diocese.

"I'm sorry, Pope. I want you to resume the ritual."

"... okay"

The old pope snorts in such a voice.

"Gohon! Uh, he is the ancestor who founded Mid-Eden on this land..."

... and the Pope who starts talking again.

... but the air of the place, once broken, never returns to its original form, and whispers begin to leak everywhere.

"Those who say Atlas or something like that earlier, always stick with Speaker Teresa, is that suspicious?

'If you say so, isn't Lucia one of them?

'You were. But there will be no doubt about Lucia's strength. "

Such a small voice could be heard from all over.

Lucia, kneeling in front of the audience, often heard them talking like that.

Within the first,

"(... Atlas after all, they're going to dispose of me... Can you follow me when I'm a brave man?

Lucia, who thought so, clouds her expression to another voice that is heard gradually.

"... interrupted the baptism of the brave. Naturally, you'll need a proper guilty plea '

'Do something stubborn and painful again... You want to tell me you've got a good excuse to get rid of the intruders?

"Hmm. Don't you have an aesthetic?

... is it the one who says, "Enchantment" that nests in the royal castle?

Especially since the senators are also human, it was natural that they acted with all sorts of thoughts, good and bad.

... but it was no exaggeration to say that it was almost intolerable for Lucia, who had lived with her sweet sisters and sweet brothers.

Still,

"(With so many people, it's natural that there are people who think differently...?

And Lucia, who had managed to tell herself.

However,

"Will such a little girl have a role to play as a brave man?

"Even the chancellor is young, but I didn't expect to leave the brave to a girl who's not old enough... and Mid-Eden is a downfall..."

'Isn't this like you're telling me to attack another country?

What do you say? Why don't the Count name his next presidential election?

"Next time... when the hell will it be? Something that doesn't happen in a natural mutation?

'... you mustn't talk too badly about people, okay?... when we get back, shall we consider ancient magic'

Nature and breath jammed into a black conversation that I could hear one after the other.

You said Miss Reese, who represents South Fortress, is connected to Speaker Teresa in some way, right?

"Yep.... you want me to launder the flow of funds that's being twisted to rebuild?

'I don't mind any trivial things if I can take my fried feet off. Wash out the blemishes'

"Ha... ha..."

"Poisoning is awkward... you're in danger of finding out"

"According to a passage, some people have already tried, right?

'Trap... right, trap it during a hunting party, if you make a mistake...'

'It's a common way, but is it worth a try...'

"Ha, ha."

"... shah..."

"Ha, ha."

"... Lord Lucia"

Pessi!

... from a position unseen to the crowd, Lucia, whose forehead is poked small in the Holy Scriptures by the Pope and returned to me.

"Aren't you too nervous?

"Eh... ah... sorry..."

"Hmm, it's troublesome..."

Apparently, while Lucia was relieved, the ritual was welcoming the climax.

Here, to the crowd, Lucia says the words of her vows, but...

"Uh... what can I say?

... In a prior scenario, you could just speak in accordance with the Pope's words, but she didn't listen to me at all, and everyone didn't have an eye for it.

"... okay? I'm gonna say it again, okay? It's Lucia the Brave. Speak the name of the covenant God, and speak the word of the oath."

A pope who mouths words among the crowd, perhaps for the second time.

With that said, he has shown Lucia the Scriptures with the names of the gods on them.

In short, you can choose from this, I guess.

Lucia felt heavier at the words of such a pope.

Until Atlas came, he had a firm goal in his heart to be a brave man and help the people of this country.

But the heartless words, the conspiracies, the jealousy... Lucia's heart was easily flushed by such things.

... the hell, for what, until I shredded myself, I had to be of service to this country... without knowing that idea was eroding my mind.

"(... this is what Atlas said...)"

In addition to Atlas, Lucia now understands what everyone was trying to say, recalling the words of Cortex, Teresa, and the hunters.

And

"(Your sister didn't even try to get on the table because of the annoying smell...)"

Waltz, who had the power, understood why he was trying to escape trouble.

Hate, hate, scorn (offer) rarely from what needs to be protected...

Why should we protect them until they have sacrificed themselves?

... Still don't mind, I guess only those who seem to be qualified to be 'brave'.

"... sister..."

Lucia whines with a voice that doesn't sound so loud.

... Unfortunately, Lucia didn't seem to qualify her to be a brave man.

"... Lord Lucia? Look, the people are waiting for your voice, right?

To Lucia, the Pope who urges the word of oath.

... When we got here, there was no option left for Lucia to back off.

Lucia, who never showed tears in this one case, turns to the audience as she saves tears in its eyes.

"Lucia... you know..."

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

"... all we can do is upcoming roots..."

"... why, your sister's not here at this important time..."

Looking at Lucia's expression, which is likely to break even now, my companions feel the heartache that can't be helped.

... and... the time has come.

Lucia takes a deep, deep breath in front of the audience, closing her eyes that were tearing.

And the noisy place suddenly quiets back down.

... then,

Bataah...

Bataah...

and some of the audiences suddenly began to fall.

Those who have not lost their minds also turn a stunned gaze at Lucia.

Lucia's magic came out of her body.

At first, purple magic like heavy gases (gas) was leaking from her, but around the cathedral filled with

Bohoo!!

and raise the effect as if it had ignited a flammable gas to emit a white glow at once.

Gogogogogogogogo!!!

At the heart of such a brilliant, blowing magic,

"... I am"

... Lucia stood quietly with her glowing hair.

"I hereby contract!

... and Lucia told him his name with all her might.

"I swear here to be my sister, Waltz-A-Eye brave!

... and to this world, one brave man (?) was born.

"Uh... I said..."

Strella holding her head by accident.

"Right ~. You said it ~..."

For some reason, Cortex has a glowing look on his face

"No... did you come?

With a bitter smile, Teresa thinks about what's going to happen in the King's Capital.

"You're not a brave man, you're a demon king born..."

One snort hunter whilst saying so.

... Apparently everyone was able to read the developments in which Lucia would say Waltz's name.

By the way.

There were in large part two names of God that those who would be brave would speak at baptism.

If one had been eyed by God (goddess in his case) before he became a brave man, like the brave man of Endelucia.

The other is when a man of strong power nominates a God inscribed in the Scriptures.

In particular, in the former case, the name is mostly written in the Bible, so in the end, there is no difference in the type of contract.

... but exceptions also exist.

If the name of God you tried to make a covenant with is not written in the Bible.

"Waltz?... who is that?

"There is no such name among the gods!

"Though I thought it was a thin one, did it finally represent my nature?" You little fox!

Those words rise from among the senators.

Against them like that,

"Your sister, she's my God!

Lucia protests, wrapped in bright white magic.

In that case,

"Dear Lucia..."

Behind Lucia, the Pope opens his mouth as he watches what happens.

"Unfortunately, the God named 'Waltz', spoken by Master Lucia, is not in the Bible"

In support of the protests of the legislators, the Pope said.

What the hell does that mean?

Whether or not there is actually a God whose name is not written in the Scriptures, mouthing the name of a generally unrecognized God only makes him suspect of mental anomalies.

On that point, the same would be true, both in the different and modern worlds.

"You've seen it!

"In the first place, it can't be better for such frigid things, including you, to travel to this country!

"Guards! Grab this man, the chancellor, and his associates!

Senators motivated by the Pope's words utter such words.

... then,

"Oh?!... Excuse me, senators. I seem to have overlooked writing it here in small letters... according to this..."

With that said, the Pope tries to adjust his presbyopia and manage to read the words of the Bible.

... but you got in trouble, threw your presbyopia and scripture, and opened your mouth.

"... Waltz = Aveldistarna = Eye is Lucia's only god, right?

Bun...

And in front of the audience, manoeuvre armor appeared.

... with it the Pope (?) was... sticking it on my face, peeling off my special makeup.

Billy...

"Ouch! Let's see, the adhesive sticks to my face... ahhh!

"Oh, sister!?

"Wow, wow, waltz! I missed you!!

"You're finally back..."

"... what the hell is your sister thinking ~?

"... silly sister..."

"Yes, sir. I'll talk about that later ~... (uh, it hurt...)"

Waltz (hologram) then turned his gaze toward the senators as he rubbed his cheeks, which were not even very red.

... but with the eyes glowing bright red, and the black aura wrapped around them, dyeing their hair in pitch black, which does not reflect any light.

"Ah, nice to meet you all. Let me be a demon in this world. I'm called Waltz. Quickly, but I would like to make your solemnity. Anyone who says his name from now on is asked to confiscate his property and to deport him to Endercia."

The audience turning a stunned glance at the bucket that suddenly appeared.

"... well, I'm kidding."

"... what?

"I don't blame you for not being particularly harmful this time, but next time, if you aim for something overwhelming..."

And Waltz said as he put critical pressure on all those who were making disturbing remarks to pass out.

"... it's a pain in the ass, so all the clan royalists are OO (Pea), right?

That word at the end, waltz that raises the level of pressure to the maximum.

As a result, the number of standing senators was reduced to as much as the original half.

(Wow... what this Parliament. You mean half of it's rotten?

In other words, could I also say that I can trust half of them?

Especially since no one knows what's left of the senators.

Waltz thinks about that.

Pough...

"Hey Bye!!

... all over my face, Lucia jumped with tears and runny nose.

"I'm so sorry, Lucia. I was tearing it apart to repair my manoeuvre armor, so I couldn't reach you... We arrived in Wang Cheng just now..."

"| I thought you abandoned me and went back to the original world."

"No, don't worry, that's never all..."

"Wow!!

Waltz, a black figure, hugs Lucia and gives her a hug.

Then,

"You're really like a demon god..."

A brave man has been talking to me for so long watching what happens in silence.

"I mean, there's a current brave man, so do something about it?

"Well... there's no way I can say this to another country's politics."

When Waltz and the brave are interacting like that, the rest of us come closer.

... but in a rushing form.

"Walz ~!!

Pough...

Like Lucia, Teresa jumped in crying.

"There's nothing more boring than a royal castle without a Lord. ~ ~"

"... that, with me, it makes my job fun too?

Gassi!

Somehow, the hunter also hugs me to the waltz.

"I made some delicious food around the corner and there was no waltz, and I... I...!!

"No, hunter... it doesn't have to be me..."

"It has to be waltz!

"Why..."

Cortex and Strella answer such waltz questions.

"Sister ~. Shouldn't you think a little bit about what you think of yourself by your peers ~?

"Yes, sister. In the first place, if my sister had contacted me properly, Lucia wouldn't have had to be a brave man, and I would have enjoyed a leisurely Merclio life with your father."

"No... I was wondering if the Cortex and the others could handle it even if something went wrong, so... I mean, what's a father?

"It's fine, such detail at this time!... so..."

And Strella said with her back to Waltz.

"... next time you're gone, say no properly,"

Cortex, too,

"That's right. What if... when you're in a situation where you won't be able to reach me, please tell me beforehand ~?

I turned away from Waltz and said.

"... I'm sorry. Two... no, guys."

In the words of such waltz, the companions laughed with various expressions.
