Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
6 post-15 information-gathering 6
The Beastman Reeble of the Squirrel was a nobleman who tasted (and) ruled the northern territories of the city of Vixen.
At that time, she was in a considerable position and one of the few to know who the Demon King was.
Eighteen years ago, can you imagine how much power Yuki had in order to get used to her new body, putting so much trust in her to leave the ruling of the absent country to her for a year...
Then, some time later, when she was feeling the decline of her body, giving up her title to her son as governor, she began to hide as a bookstore in a city with a good flight of life.
... Well, there, no way. It's a normal story (?).
But between Reeble and his son who succeeded him, he didn't see his opinions on the policy, and even after he hid, he repeatedly clashed...
As she got older, the collision escalated and finally reached the point of insulation, she said.
Then she seems to have created a political group that confronts her son's policies head-on through good taste and passion.
It was all about Sirius the Demon King and this country, but... apparently, some foreign body got mixed up in that gear somewhere.
Or can you say that the Demon King himself has worn out and distorted...
"So, Yuki F... uh, what did Euclid = N = Sirius tell you?
Reebles silent on Waltz's words.
(... hmm? Maybe it's far from ear...)
"Auntie, can you hear me? Yuki's sister's, Euclic d"
"... I hear you"
"Oh, really..."
Reeble vowed allegiance to the Emperor (Demon King), even though he was old.
Even if Waltz were a demon god, I guess he wouldn't be able to speak easily of life from the Lord.
You guessed that,
"From me, too, please. Please tell me what Sister Null told you and what you did"
That said Yuki bowed her head.
You didn't think Yuki, who was supposed to be an eye-catching being, was going to bow her head, Reeble upset by her appearance.
"Dear Sirius. Please, look up! You're told straight away, but I'm not going to hide it."
And when he saw Yuki lift his head, and Reeble sighed of relief, he began to talk about the orders he had received from Yuki F.
"... scarvixen, and was ordered to destroy the deftery vixen. Whatever the means, he just wants me to destroy... Looking at the mood of Master Nuru (Yuki F), even though he knew that sacrifices would be made to citizens, he could not refuse..."
Yuki, Waltz and Catalina (and 1 other (Lisa)?) hear quietly with a difficult look on the words of such a reeble.
There was no mention of Protty Vixen in the story, so apparently Reeble has Yuki F's orders correctly passed on.
"However, like Null, I was not able to lay my hands directly because the royal castle people knew my face. So I had no choice but to ask those who specialize in such havoc to destroy the labyrinth..."
"... so that was the capellas..."
"... capella?"
Against the waltz crush, who?, a reeble that gives you the look you said.
From the looks of it, it seems that the person you requested is not named Capella.
Do you even use a pseudonym...?
"He was supposed to be crossing the river, so maybe there was another intermediary"
"Uh, I see."
To Yuki's words, waltz nodding with his arms around him.
Then again Reeble opened his mouth as Waltz pondered what he would like to hear next.
"... Dear Sirius... We are truly sorry!
So she suddenly bowed her head.
"... what is it? If you want to apologize, did you get it earlier?
"No, it's a separate matter"
Then Reeble said the reason for the apology.
"... apparently, my memory has been altered by someone"
"I can't deny the possibility that I've been busy, but until you were here, Master Sirius was a man in me. There is still something, a great deal of discomfort in my head that seemed misty... Perhaps some magical influence..."
That being said, Reeble put his hand on his forehead with a bare gesture that withstood the pain.
Apparently, she also has the influence of verbal and spiritual magic hanging on her, just like the staff of the 5th Royal Castle.
If you think about its nature, should you rather call it brainwashing magic...
(Well in that condition, they believed Yuki was Sirius when he changed his appearance...)
And I think that waltz, forgetting I mentally cornered Reeble.
Then she questioned Reeble.
"... yes. Next question, then. Can you tell me where the hell the Negishi is set up with that specialist? Hey, I need to run some errands."
In response to such waltz questions, Reeble asked the other way, frowning.
"... what the hell are you going to do looking for that person?
There was only one purpose in Reeble, who saw the demon god in black.
That is, murder.
Indeed, there was no denial of the possibility that the person who requested the destruction of the labyrinth was involved in the manipulation of his memory, but there was also no denial of the possibility that he was not involved at all.
Perhaps she could not answer immediately, worried that if the acquaintance were the latter, it would be erased without sin.
But Waltz, who is not a real demon, had no intention of doing so.
"... I want to go help a kidnapped child."
Because of the unexpected answer, Reeble turned his eyes wide open to Waltz.
"... ma, no way..."
With that in his mouth, he looks shocked, one step, another, and a reeble going back.
Leaving it there, Waltz gently places it behind her as she pulls the chair that was nearby using gravity control, as it is likely to fall behind her.
Shortly afterwards, Reeble lowered his hips as if he were sucked into that chair.
Then she asks Waltz as she leans down, looking like she's suddenly lost herself.
"I... have entrusted to those who kidnap children... the future of this country...?
"Hmm, the story may be complicated already, so I can't say enough... So to make sure, I want you to tell me where the collaborators are."
"... okay"
Then she tries to get up from the chair... and realizes something.
... is the crystal that was gripping my right hand.
"Oh, yes! This crystal, is a magic prop to contact the man who speaks the name of Master Sirius in my memory!
"If you follow the magic coming out of this crystal, you should reach the pair of crystals that he (or she) has!
So Reeble put the crystal in his hand before the waltzes.
... at that moment.
Doshan!!
The crystals she had burst suddenly and the shattered fragments scattered around her.
50 microseconds (0.00005 seconds) after a sudden phenomenon occurs.
Waltz deployed gravity control to protect Catalina and Yuki from fragments.
However, the fragments of the crystal that blew up at a speed close to the sound speed proceeded about 15 cm in the meantime, completely blowing the right hand of the reeble.
Suddenly, Reeble didn't groan, he didn't scream, he blew his arm away.
She had a strange gaze at the glass fragments and red splashes that were stopping in front of her as if they were small fireworks.
... but that's a flash, too.
"Guh!!
Soon afterwards, I squatted "Uzuma" while suppressing the hand my blood kept blowing out.
"Catalina!"
Waltz flies against Catalina, who was solidifying without knowing what had happened.
"Huh!"
Catalina immediately began exercising restorative magic against Reebles without responding to such waltzes.
... shortly thereafter.
Out of the darkness behind the counter emerged a tool that created the cause of the crystal blowing up and a man wearing a robe from his head.
That's right.
A man with a revolver-style pistol...
"This is what would have happened if I hadn't heard from you on time."
When he said that, he pointed the gun at the reeble and pulled the trigger without getting lost.
Bang!
... I may have only heard that sound to those around me.
But in fact, a bullet was fired at the reeble faster than the speed of sound... and it was captured by Waltz's gravitational control.
The man who sensed that the bullet he was supposed to have unleashed had not been sucked into the reeble,
"Whoa, let's go. Was there a demon god..."
With that said, after slapping his head with his hand, he went back behind the counter as if nothing had happened.
... despite the waltz exerting gravitational control, is.
Apparently, around the man, space control magic is unfolding.
To what such a man looks like,
"... I'm coming after you, guys!
So, Waltz tries to get over the counter with Lisa, but...
Dogon!!
... Somehow, I thought I heard such a roar from the entrance to the store opposite the counter, and Waltz stopped as if he had been pulled by a thread.
"... sorry. I can't get the code, so why don't you go after him instead of me?
Suddenly, waltz says something like that with a crying look on his face.
"Explain later! Hurry!"
"Wow, I get it!
When Waltz rushes, Yuki runs to the back of the counter with a strange look on his face.
"Yuki is not the only one with a heart, so follow Catalina! I'll take a look at it later!
Waltz also raised his voice against Catalina, who was treating Reeble.
"... okay. Later, please."
Catalina glanced at Waltz as she finished the minimal treatment and followed Yuki straight away, disappearing into the back of the counter with her red tail overwhelmed.
"... cable... No, with or without cable, it was impossible for me to follow you when there was no manoeuvre armor in the narrow store..."
After such a grunt, Waltz turned his worrying gaze to the darkness where the men and Yuki disappeared...
