Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The view outside reflected by the ultra-high dynamic range monitor on the bridge wall.

Eve, who saw the red dots reflected there, opened her mouth slowly.

"... Huh? Is something wrong?

Sometimes it was that Vixen was still in a remote place, or that the area was already surrounded by darkness, and in her eyes, which only had normal vision, she didn't seem to know that its red bright spot was Vixen, the one we were heading to.

Even during the Waltz conversation, the word Vixen didn't appear, so I wouldn't have to figure it out.

Meanwhile,

"That's... a war, right?"

For a flying dragon from day to day, the view seemed fine.

If you consider him ruler of the sky (Fei Long), the view from the night sky may be a familiar sight.

He just didn't seem to know, either, until it was Vixen township...

Behind the two who interacted like that, radio conversations continued between Waltz and Yuki, who raised their voices as astonished as earlier, and Julia, who is now in the middle of Vixen.

"... what the hell do you mean?

Waltz asked to gather information from Julia as well, deciding that the scenery in sight alone did not reveal the details.

'I'm just gathering information right now, so I don't even know the details, but something like a big demon seems to be rampaging around in town by about five. The smaller demons have not been obstructed by urban ties and are still growing, according to reports. "

Upon hearing such Yuri's words, Yuki, standing next to Waltz, pinches his mouth.

"... for the big demon, didn't the junction work?

"Ah, Master Sirius.... uh, yes. They all of a sudden seem to have emerged within the conjuncture. It's like metastatic magic. It's something that's been intruding."

"Transition magic... how can you have an urban junction..."

As with towns in the human realm, Vixen should have been hung with junctional magic to protect the city, so it should normally have been inconceivable for demons to come within the junctions by means of metastatic magic.

"Isn't that it? Space-controlled magic. You haven't caught the guy who says capella or anything yet, have you? That's all I can think about..."

Totally, it's a troubled thing... waltz pointing his rugged gaze at the town of Vixen with his arms on his hips.

"Right... It would be nice to be able to play it in urban circles about space control magic as well, because there are extremely few people who can use it, or because they can't seem to handle it..."

"... was it made in Merclio?

"No. That's for the human-side realm, isn't it? On the Devil's side, it is manufactured by another country nearby"

"Hmm..."

Waltz, who was listening to Yuki, sensed deliberate things like security holes and backdoors between space control magic and urban junctions.

... but at the same time, she stops asking any more unnecessarily when she wonders if the king of a country that is creating an urban bond is calling herself God again.

... Apparently, something irritating elf's face came up in my head...

"... so are the Julians and the people in town okay?

Waltz asks Julia to stop talking about urban ties, as if to undo the faces that have come to mind.

Then,

'We have no problem...'

Julia talked about it in a way that doesn't float anywhere before... opening her mouth about another major problem that is now arising in Boreas.

I don't know why, but the evacuation of the citizens doesn't seem to start.

"... Huh? Didn't Yuki F approve it?

Waltz inquired, recalling that the transfer of the citizens would not begin without the approval of Yuki, who is ruling the country.

'Of course Master Null has agreed to the metastasis. But it seems that Protty Vixen is less responsive.'

"Something's bothering you..."

'Yes, so now we have just begun to mobilize the castles to lead the citizens to the royal castle.'

I want to escape to a safe place, but the outside of town is overflowing with demons, and the inside is a big demon that I don't know how to handle.

When it came to a place where we could evacuate in such a vixen, it seemed that Lucia's only (Mid-Eden-style) royal castle was built.

Even if the automatic transfer magic doesn't hang, if you go as far as the Royal Castle, there is a transfer magic team that can be used at any time, so for once you can escape to the shelter in the safe PropertyVixen...

"... is evacuation going to make it?

'It's a hard place to be honest. I'm asking Lucia to stop, but there are still a lot of citizens nearby, so I can't seem to use any great magic and I'm struggling'

"... yes"

And Waltz shrugged like that, then... somehow, he held his head in a way that bothered him about something.

After a while I raise my face, I check my current position from the view I can see and open my mouth again.

"... I'll be there soon, so could you wait a little longer?

'Oh, yes. Ok. Until then, I'll try to do something!

"You can't do that, can you?

'It's okay! I know!

And the wireless communication went out.

"... Whenever you come to Vixen, isn't there a problem?

"... you want to think it's a coincidence"

The capital of my country has a 2/3 chance so far of being engulfed in flames every time it travels.

For Yuki, it's just a recurring nightmare, isn't it?

No, considering what stands (up) is a flame, or...

"Well, how did you behave?

In places such as the imminent arrival of Vixen, Waltz spoke out against those who were on the bridge.

It should be noted that I would have liked to speak to Catalina as well... but I would not have to bother explaining that I was unable to speak due to various circumstances.

For the same reason, I haven't even spoken to tempo.

In other words, here are 3 +1 Waltz, Yuki, Eve and Fei Long.

"... Eve and Fei Long have left a message."

If you think about the fact that the two of them were caught for a long time, it's natural...

"Huh? Why?!

"That's right, Master Waltz! We can fight too!

and, both of them, have protested Waltz's words.

"Well, the treated Fei Long may be good, but look at Eve now, okay? You're in shape like a galloping, skinny skeleton..."

He narrowed it down because he had refused to eat for a few days, and only his stomach swelled because it was today and he ate at once... and Waltz said so, clairvoyantly with his eyes that could see X-rays of Eve's body, which was in such a shape somewhere as a fast-eating child.

Before that...

"I mean, Eve. You haven't come here with any decent clothes, so in the first place, you can't go out. Unless you have an exposure hobby, but if you walk around town like that, the guards will catch you, okay?

Eve is still wearing Yuki's coat like a bathrobe.

Going outside with the demons trekking even though they're not wearing any decent gear can only be described as suicidal.

... Especially as to how much of a court's defense is reserved for the Demon King, though I haven't put it in the calculations.

To the words of such waltz,

"Fuck... maybe that graffiti is rude to the lady?!

That's what I said, Eve crossing her arms in front of her chest, turning her face bright red.

"No, I'm a lady too... yeah... that's good enough, but... (Why can't a woman see me?

In fact, people in this world were waltzes who thought they were discerning gender by pheromones or something... but realized that the story had begun to derail significantly and decided to revert to the original topic.

... Yes, because Vixen is already close.

"That's why Fei Long should not be forced by Master (Eve)."

"... I understand"

Unlike Eve, a flying dragon honestly listens to Waltz's words.

He will always keep Waltz's word.

Eve also saw how the Fei Long shook his head vertically.

"Mmm. That's enough! I'm going to explore this ship while you wait!

Seemed to have given up.

Fei Long says that he will stay, but his master could not seem to say that he would not 'remain'.

Thus while the waltzes were out, Eve and Fei Long decided to leave a message with energy.

Waltz then turns his gaze and opens his mouth to Yuki, who was standing next to him.

"Well. We're the problem... ah"

After saying that, Waltz noticed a certain change in Yuki.

With a clear eye at Eve's body, he turned to Yuki as he was, and he figured out something.

What's wrong with you?

Yuki looks at herself and speaks such questions to Waltz with a strange look on her face.

"... you can't even tell me about Eve..."

"What?"

Yuki tilted her head because she didn't know what the hell Waltz was talking about.

Sure, I was playing in the flames (?) The armor wore out for it, rather than the emperor or demon king... it looked like a bloody zombie in one way or another, but that shouldn't be a problem because if you go back to the royal castle, you'll have as many dresses as you want.

So what the hell is wrong with Yuki?

"Yuki should understand a little bit about her body."

Having said that, Waltz approached Yuki and took her hand.

"What...?!

Suddenly, Yuki is about to blush and pull her hand at the feel of her right hand gripped by a waltz.

But somehow being patient... Waltz took off the gear that was worn on her arm and rolled (meshed) the sleeves of the clothes that remained without burning.

And then I saw my arm...

"What..."

Yuki raised such a surprise because she was far from her own imagination.

"... be careful, if you keep taking a lot of damage, this is what happens, okay?

Yuki's arm, illuminated by the bridge's LED lights... was morbidly thin as if it belonged to a woman who had been on a hunger strike for several days.

"Doh... why?

"The nanomachines in Yuki's body... well, the little machines, trying to cure the injured Yuki's body, the cells that can be used from all over the body... they get thinner like this as a result of collecting body parts"

"You don't have to worry about anything, do you? Because if you eat proper rice, there will be more of them. So Yuki left a message this time."

"... Um... yes..."

And Yuki leaned down powerless, without disputing it.

The moment he learned about the current state of his body, he seemed to have been attacked by things like helplessness and weakness.

"... you know, still, I really can't go... no. Even if you go outside in this state now, you're just going to pull the legs of Master Waltz..."

Yuki seemed heartless about the inability of the people of his country to play a part in saying that they were being stood in distress, but when he shook his head to shake it off, he asked Waltz with a bright look on his face.

"Is there anything I can do to stay here?

That's right.

Fighting for nothing is not the only thing we can do for everyone.

The waltz then

"... right. So, I'll lend you a weapon?

... I said that to Yuki, who had given up fighting, somehow.

"What... then you're not leaving a message..."

Yuki gives Waltz's words an unexpected look of confusion.

To her like that, Waltz gives a niggling grin...

"You have a chunk of weapons here, don't you? There's a weapon named Energia.... I'll lend this to you?

... aeronautical support by Energia (bombing?).
