Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Yuki, Eve, and Fei Lung follow her in the form of chasing Catalina as she tries to leave the room ahead of time.

Not long after walking out, Eve asked slowly towards Yuki.

"... hey? What's that guy like? Something seemed like you used magic you'd never seen to break doors or protect us, but..."

"Well... he saved me from dying."

"A benefactor of life?

"Hmm, maybe a little different. A doctor with good arms, or something like that?"

"Wow..."

Eve with an overtly unpleasant look on Yuki's words.

Apparently, she doesn't like doctors.

"... Lord"

Seeing Eve like that, Fei Luo opens his mouth to Xu Luo.

"... it's not good to like or dislike you, huh?

"No, I don't eat... and the doctor isn't food..."

"No?... no, it's not. I said it in the sense that you shouldn't judge people by their appearance. This time, the Lord taught me that."

"Oh, that way... huh?

It was Eve asking back unexpectedly to Fei Long, but he seemed to have something else Yuki wanted to ask him, and he stayed through.

"So... it's Lord Sirius. If the Lord is the Demon King... then who is he? You seem to have an unusual strength... but are you sure you're human?

Yuki replied with a bitter smile to such a Fei Long inquiry.

"Even if he asks me if I'm human... I'm probably human because I haven't been with him that long myself, so that's the only answer. All I know... is that he looks like the demon king who was supposedly far too ancient, and that he's a Waltz companion... that's all."

"Hmm... right..."

A flying dragon who answers unfortunately because the expected answer did not return.

I was Yuki trying to figure out if there was anything else to tell him like that... but remembering what was most important, I got my hands in the (magical) bag.

Then what she took out was one long coat, white, with a Boreas national chapter on her back.

If you think about her being a snowwoman... it's not meant to fight the cold, it's like a raincoat, I guess.

"Eve? Please just hold still for a moment."

When I call Eve, who wasn't dressed, Yuki wraps that coat around hanging from her back, which is too big for her.

At that moment,

Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzu...

and the length of the coat was shortened and changed to a size appropriate to Eve's height.

"... enchant?"

"Yes. Until recently, I was in a physical shape that often changed my height, so I made it special. Keep that coat on until you find proper clothes."

"Uh, thanks..."

"You're welcome."

Thus Yuki and the others began to walk behind Catalina as they went out of the room where the Transition Magic Formation was located.

'Whoa?! You're back, too!

'Nah, asshole! How did you get through that room's defense system?!

'There's something growing!

Earlier, the soldiers blown by the Fei Long saw the Fei Long and the Catalina who had come back and voiced their surprises in their mouths.

Apparently they didn't go after the Eves because... they knew there were tons of firearms planted in a room with a transfer magic team.

Eve, who captured them in his sight like that, raised his voice in a hurry.

"Ki, sister of the fox! Those guys are gonna fly balls of iron and make an attack, so watch out!

"Thank you for being kind enough to tell me. But don't worry, it's okay."

Then quickly, a soldier with a gun toward them pulled the trigger.

... at that moment,

Dogon!

Guns erupt, splashing internal parts all around.

"Phew!?

"Huh?! This is the right time to break out!

"Once, retreat! If you're in charge of the injured, retreat to the barricade behind you!

After such an exchange, about five soldiers backed off after dragging the soldiers looking injured by the fragments of the gun that erupted.

What happened to you?

"I just used junctional magic."

"Ugh... yeah..."

Eve gives an unconvincing look to Catalina, who only explains it as junctional magic.

It didn't look like Catalina was using junctional magic to her, no matter what she thought.

Of course, it was with Yuki and Fei Long, who were nearby, all leaning their heads equally strangely.

... by the way.

Somehow Catalina herself had a troubled look on her face for some reason.

Then she stops at the corner of the corridor where there's nothing...

"... right. If I were to explain, I wouldn't have broken my promise to Mr. Waltz."

And he groaned like he was talking to himself.

"Promise to Waltz" she said... that is, not to speak out to others without darkness about what was taught.

Apparently, she was worried if we could talk about her magic.

Then Catalina started explaining the junctional magic she was using as she turned around the three of them with her index fingers up.

"How well do you all know about the nature of junctional magic?

The first person to answer such a Catalina inquiry was... Eve.

"Eh, magic that doesn't hurt to bump when you hang it when things are about to hit you? But it's the one that gets tired when you hang it all the time, right?

"Yes, you're right. Junction magic is like armor made of magic. This magic is especially treasured when defending yourself against Range Attacks unleashed by a large demon."

With that said, Catalina turns a chilling glance at Fei Long.

"Why look here... I don't care if I fight the Lord, I don't feel like I can win at all..."

"No. Such a thing..."

Catalina doesn't explicitly say 'none'.

Then, concentrating her magic on her fingertips, she continued her lecture on junctional magic.

"So do you know about the form of junctional magic?

Then this time, Yuki opens her mouth.

"To follow the body, it unfolds, doesn't it? in such a way as to wear clothes."

"Half correct."

With that said, Catalina smiled small.

"Actually... the magical form of the junction can be freely changed, can't it?

And she gently put her finger against the wall and glanced round.

Later, when you concentrate your magic on all five fingers, touch the part that glanced at the wall...

Bocco...

... pulled out some of the round-shaped walls intact.

"In this way, it is also possible to use junctional magic to extend parts of the body. You may not see it because it's transparent, but right now, my fingers are about five times as long, right?

Catalina brought the wall material grabbed with clear fingers but thus seemingly floating in the air to the front of her face... and squeezed it as-is.

"I just have a problem, and if I don't grab it carefully, it cuts like this. This is because you're not aware of cutting, but you're unfolding the junction itself like a very thin, hard yarn."

Three people who, as if, point their gaze at Catalina's hand as if they were watching the magician's tricks.

Eve, who was in it, questioned Xu Ro.

"Are you sure it's magic? I can barely feel the magic..."

"Right... do you understand the word volume or area?

boom boom

... Eve and Flying Dragon waving their heads at those words.

On a boulder, an emperor of a country, Yuki, who has lived for more than 250 years, seems to understand.

"... then I'll explain it briefly. In short, if you use junction magic to cover your entire body, a lot of magic is consumed, but if you use it to just put a little junction magic on the parts you need, you don't have to use that much magic. As earlier, unfolding junctional magic in a yarn-like fashion meant that its extreme state... uh, when it was thoroughly small and thin, it ended up in a yarn-like shape, right? If you get smaller, you can concentrate on the extra magic for that matter, so you can increase your strength, and there are a lot of other advantages to be gained, right?... can you tell by that explanation?

Yuki and Fei Long shaking their heads without hesitation in such Catalina words.

Needless to say in the case of Fei Long, Yuki said, 'How can you do such a clever thing?!' and so on.

Eve, on the other hand, seemed to understand.

"Oh. Is this what you're gonna do?

That being said, Eve tries to concentrate her magic on her fingertips with some bumps and a spell.

And what I could do... was a wall of magic, covering my entire palm as well as my fingertips.

"... yeah. That's roughly the way it is. I think if we could do it a little smaller, the strength, the magic that we consume, would be much better, wouldn't we?

That junction was transparent, so it did not come true to see it directly by the eye... but Catalina seemed to move her big beast ears frequently (shiri) to hear (...) the existence of the junction (...) and (...) (...) ru (...).

"Hmm... it's hard..."

With that being said, Eve opens or closes the hands that would be stretched out of the junction.

That's when next to her, Yuki opened her mouth with a suddenly difficult look as if she remembered something.

"So... in the earlier room, how did you help Eve or Master Fei Long, who was supposed to have been away? From what I've heard, you're reducing the size of the junction, aren't you? In that case, I don't think it's a good idea to take a saturation attack like countless coming from all directions..."

"That's... that's a trade secret. The idea is to manipulate junctional magic around the concept of 'programming'... but more than that, Mr. Waltz has stopped me, so I can't talk to you. If you had a tremendous amount of magic like Lucia, it would be easy to explain."

Catalina shakes her neck to the side as she says so and meditates her eyes.

... will the day come when fulfillment, from her mouth, reveals the full extent of the magic of the junction...

"... well. It's time for a long story like this, so let's move on."

Catalina, who said that to Xu Ro, began to walk at the head of everyone again.

"Time? What time is it?

"That's... that's a secret, too. Maybe... in about 20 minutes, you'll see, right?

To Catalina, who has a lot of secrets, three people who lean their necks.

And when she walked out again... now Fei Long asked.

"By the way, Lord Catalina. Where the hell is the Lord headed? No way, is that a secret, too?

"Yes, it's no secret to a boulder."

Then, for some reason, she turned a nickel and a grin against Eve, and then... she looked back and said.

"... it's pest control"

I never changed my expression... but to her words that emitted some dark color, the three of them accidentally froze my spine...

Then, Catalina will cut the door called the door as part of the work, gradually as an allowance.

"Damn it! Where d... Gu?!

'Hey! What's up t... Ugh?!

"Hino?! Oh, help k... Ugh?!

And, as if it were then, I would add (...) the soldiers who were in the room one after the other...

Specifically, he severed all the muscles that were not directly involved in sustaining life and, at the same time, hung his healing magic to prevent him from dying from bleeding.

What happens then...

Unless there is an operator like Catalina who can skillfully manipulate healing magic, healing magic cannot overwrite and repair healing magic, so a living corpse can be made that no one can fix.

Especially not impossible to stitch muscles together with surgical surgery... but would a human being who can stitch muscles all over his body be in this world at all costs...

... didn't put it on his expression, Catalina was so angry by then.

"Um... what did they do?

Yuki, who saw soldiers crumbling to the ground in an incredible position like a broken manipulator, asked unexpectedly.

"Right... I'm not dead, but you're getting paid close to it"

"Ah... yes..."

Yuki blued her face, not touching the core directly, but convinced that what she expected was largely the right thing to do to Catalina's words, to which she replied in a cold voice.

Yuki herself was deeply heartbroken when she saw the naked Eve and imagined what had happened to her, but seemed to sympathize with the soldiers when she saw what was happening to Catalina now and, conversely, through calm...

Meanwhile.

The Fei Long, who was behind them like that, and Eve, who was on its back again, seemed to have no idea what was going on.

If you don't bleed out, without screaming, incontinence and desiccation, vain eyed soldiers who collapse to the ground...

In this case, it could be said that for Eves, who have no professional knowledge of the structure of the human body, it was rather fortunate that they did not know what had happened to them.

In particular, Catalina herself retaliates for it in a bloodless way.

"Inside, you can't find that criminal. Where the hell did you escape..."

Katarina narrows her eyes and tilts her head as she remembers the face of Loricon, who was wearing a black robe.

Then she doesn't bother going out into the hallway, cutting off the walls of the room directly...

'Oh no! Is that possible n... gu ha?!

"to, escape r... wanting?!

"This is the world I n... what?!

... even then, they truncated those who were in the facility, regardless of soldiers or non-combatants, depending on the allowances they received from those in sight...
