Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... Proti... vixen...?"

Facilities in the labyrinth of Proti Vixen.

Among them, the fifth royal castle in the desert realm.

... used to be a place where I couldn't come after all, trying to come to dinner with the waltzes.

"How did you get here..."

I don't know why he was captured by his castle (5th Royal Castle), and Yuki is stunned.

That's when, inadvertently,

"... Huh!

Grr...

"What..."

Suddenly Eve pulled me,

Don!

After being pushed into the vent hole,

"(Shh!

I got my mouth blocked.

"(Somebody's here!

Eve explores the signs while lifting only a few usually dripping dog ears out of a narrow vent.

Then all I could see from them was their legs, but...

"Shit! That bastard... I didn't know he was gonna hit me for real...... At times like this, you can only look at the Lori kids and heal their hearts... hehe... '

... and so on, Loricon walked into a room with a cabin.

As far as that solitary is concerned, apparently a pervert with no hand application.

"(Maybe you found out a little faster than planned... But I could've gotten this far, so one more breath? Come on, us!

With that said, Yuki's pushed into the back of the vent, Eve's eyes on the darkness that is spreading further ahead.

As if following her gaze like that, Yuki also turned in the direction she would be going.

"(This vent... where would it have been connected...)"

"(Huh?

"(... no. I'm talking to myself)"

Yuki deluding her own whining.

Though the owner of the castle, he didn't even know the path to the vent.

"(I'm scared (not knowing where it leads)... shall we go)"

"(What...)"

Eve somehow solidified into such Yuki's words.

"(... dark and... narrow...)"

"(... maybe you don't like the dark?

When Yuki asks,

"(Oh, no way! Come on, y'all, let's go?!

That being said, Eve forced herself past Yuki's neighbor in an unscrupulous move, like a robot, to move on.

Apparently, she didn't want to lose to a child younger than herself.

In doing so,

"(That? I knew I smelled this kid, I think I've smelled him somewhere...)"

I almost remembered her by the smell of Yuki, Eve... but in the end, I couldn't remember.

"(uhh...)"

... Eve, who has been roaring in a much smaller voice since he started going inside the vent.

It should be noted that, in general, although the dog beast man does not have the habit of raising his roar when intimidating him.

... In short, what she's roaring about is her peculiar habit... Xiao Er Zhi (?).

If the Beast had such a habit, the hunter would wrap around the waltz at four or six o'clock and keep his throat rattling.

"(Is something wrong? Eve?)"

"(Nah, it's nothing!

Although from time to time there is light inserted from the side of the hole connected with the large passage, most of that area is a vent enclosed in dim darkness.

For Eve, who is still young, it may look like some kind of bucket of stuff is lurking in the dark.

"(... if you're scared, you won't be scared when you sing, will you?

"(Oh, I'm not scared!

With such an exchange, the two go on in the dark vents...

♪

"(Oh, I know that song)"

"(Honestly?! I don't really like it, but often, - I couldn't get it off my ear because you were mumbling...)"

"(You were...)"

♪

♪

Pita...

"(...? What's the matter, sir?

"(Be... it's not like I'm scared of anything or anything, so hey!

"(Really... Then I'll let you sing because I'm scared)"

"(What...)"

♪

♪

♪

... In a dim vent, the two choruses go on...

Then about an hour later, the occasional employees in the aisle, running bumpy (?) When I started hearing footsteps.

The girls, in the vent, plugged into a path divided into two strands.

On one side, as always, the route passes close to the hallway.

The other is a creepy hole that leads to total black darkness.

"(... duh, what do I do)"

Eve stuck at the corner of the divide.

But I was worried about which way I was going, and I didn't say so.

"(... to be seen from the atmosphere of those outside, everyone should be looking for us. As it is, I don't know when or if I can even look into this vent...)"

You'll be on the other side of the wall. Yuki speaks out against Eve, worried about the adults peeking into the vent.

Even though the road was divided into two strands in front of him, there was no choice.

"(Wah, I know...)"

Even after hearing Yuki's words, Eve looks hesitant.

Eve had spoken many times that she was not afraid to come here, but she was not determined to move on to the dark side of the boulder.

"(... then let me get ahead of you)"

"(Eh... eh... eh!! Come on, I'll go first!

"(Really? Don't mull it)"

"(Ugh...)"

I don't think I can show anything cool about the younger (?) Yuki, and while she gave me a crying look, Eve decided to jump into the hole.

... that was when it happened.

Katsun Katsun Katsun...

"... you haven't checked the vents around here yet."

"Ah.... just two snug kids got away, that's a lot of exaggeration"

Two royal castle clerks (?), but came to the vent near Yuki's place.

"(Eve, come on!

"(Ugh, yeah!

Eve and Yuki take two strands of passage towards the dark side with a little doozy.

And in the middle of nowhere...

"... hey."

'You're not going to be there. I'm gonna go into this dark place, or I'm gonna get a little...'

'That's right. Rumor has it, once in a while, I've heard Master Sirius pinched...'

"Dark, narrow, cold, scary, who really gets..."

"Dear Sirius, I can't find anyone for you after all this time because you're just doing that. Oh, you got it."

The officials, who could not find them, walked away somewhere, having such a conversation.

To such an official conversation, two trembling people.

Eve had a bright blue face, Yuki was bright red, but as for why she's trembling with such a complexion... well, I wouldn't even have to explain it.

Forget that.

Apparently, the castle staff did not flip the anti-flag against Yuki.

I didn't know what reason they were holding Yuki... but at least the officials are simply looking for the children who escaped, and so on.

Maybe even the terminal officials haven't been asked why the children were being captured.

If that's what you think, it was one hand for Yuki to leave here and reveal her identity to the officials.

... but it seems better to keep running than crossing the dangerous bridge that she might cross into the hands of the capellas again than to deny the possibility that she, who is now a young figure, will not know that she is Sirius the Demon King.

Yes, because as long as you're running away in this castle, if you take the time, there's no chance that the other Yuki will come either.

... so.

Yuki and Eve go through a dark hole without asking the officials for help.

And when the neighborhood was surrounded by total darkness.

At the earliest, Eve spoke to Yuki, not singing a song or whispering, but looking genuinely scared.

"... hey... isn't it cold?

Apparently, she thinks Sirius, the Demon King, might appear, nuh, out of the darkness, because she heard the officials earlier.

... Especially though he doesn't seem to be a familiar demon king and he seems afraid that other 'things you might not be good at' will come out.

"(Maybe the cold air started leaking because the magic is slowly returning)... I'll try my best to keep it down"

and Yuki returning the words.

However, due to the magic restraint on his neck, he could not figure out how much magic had recovered.

"Huh? Sorry. I didn't hear you properly..."

Was it the sound of rubbing clothes and postural problems, or because I got a very different answer than I expected... Eve didn't seem to hear Yuki well.

"No. You didn't say a big deal, did you? It could be very cold."

"... after all? I knew you thought so too?!

Eve asks Yuki, looking like she's about to cry.

To her like that,

"... Shall we take a break?"

Yuki suggested so.

However, this is not the only reason why I thought about the fatigue that gradually accumulated and the fear of Eve.

Eve talks about why.

"... yeah. Already, come on, my hands and feet are hurting..."

When I said that and stopped moving, I took a physical sitting on the spot and Eve started checking her knees and legs painfully.

The knees and soles of his feet were always rubbing off on the ground because he had crawled all the way over the stone.

Of course, Yuki is no exception.

So she suggested a break...

"It's dark and it doesn't look good..."

"Right..."

It was in the dark, so unfortunately, neither of us could even confirm the wounds to our own bodies.

Then Yuki begins to deal with her wounds when she sits next to Eve, sensing her whereabouts just because of signs such as breath.

"At times like this,"

Billy-billy...

Just the feel of my hand, Yuki cutting the sheets a thousand times again.

Splitting it even smaller, he wrapped it around his knees, feet, and hands.

He is an impromptu bandage and supporter.

"That's it. Shit. Can Eve bandage herself?

"Um, I want to roll it up, but you can't see it in the dark..."

With that being said, Eve looks like she's trying to chop her own sheets somehow.

But it didn't seem to work, and when I tore it to the half, it stopped... and all that noise was echoing around me.

"... well, I'll wind you up"

That's what Yuki said.

Billy-billy...

When I tore my sheets again and split them into fine pieces, I wrapped them around Eve's feet and hands.

In doing so,

"... it was so warm..."

Yuki's hand touches her skin and Eve leaks that sentiment.

"Is it warm... Often, it seems cold, they say..."

Yuki has been scattered cold (...) y (...) thoughts just because she's a snowwoman.

A cold meal in Mid-Eden would be an example of this.

"It's not cold at all, is it? Rather as hot as... and you have a cold?!

With that said, Eve hands Yuki over and searches for her forehead with just her senses.

"No, this is my normal temperature"

Yuki smiles bitterly as she feels Eve's hands more limp on her forehead than she does.

If you say it just by your current senses, isn't Eve so much closer to a snowwoman?

"Um, I'm a little worried about something, but if you say so... but..."

Then Eve said with a strange look in the dark about something that didn't fall to her heart.

"Something... I feel like my forehead is huge..."

"Huh?"

After hearing Eve say that, I feel somewhat narrow in the aisle... it was the moment Yuki thought so.

Gras...

"What... ugh..."

Suddenly, Eve's hand slipped away from her forehead, and she wondered if she had shouted, and her signs accidentally disappeared.

Yuki is amazed at what happened in the dark.

And when she reached into the space where Eve would have been...

Gras...

There was no Eve there... on the contrary, there were no walls.

"What... what...!?

Zuzazazazazazazazazazaza...

Disfigured, slipping Yuki.

On the other side of the dark where she reached out...

"Yikes...!!

... a sudden slope opened its mouth and waited.
