Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

After noon of that day.

Suddenly... it seems to be National Church Mass Day...

Well, this morning, the Pope of the National Church was delighted when the Waltz were having a 'trial visit' (?) I was indirectly introducing what I was trying to do to prepare for Mass, so could it not be a completely abrupt story?

... aside from that.

It is very different from the Mass that takes place in the Church of this country from the Mass that is taking place in a certain theocracy in the modern world.

If you start talking about which part of the world is different, skip it because there will be no more Kiri... but if you say that the subject you are worshipping as God is not one God, but dozens of 'gods' named after the 'god list' that goes from pages 1 to dozens of Biblical pages like the encyclopedia, will you understand that it is completely different?

Perhaps if you did something like the Mass that takes place in the modern world, your stomach would surely be 'Body and Blood (Bread and Wine)' and you would soon be tapped.

So what were you doing?

That, given the relationship between 'man versus demon' in this world, and the existence of 'multiple gods', these two, can you see it for yourself?

... In short, 'Demons, doom!' and is a rally I wish against the gods

Well, that's a polar theory, so it's a way of saying it without a body or a lid, but if it's enough to explain it in words wrapped around it in oblate, wouldn't it be easier to understand if it was expressed straight?

... so,

"Mom, huh? Mass is going to start ~?

"Oh, you don't have to be in such a hurry to have enough time, do you?

"Whoa, whoa... When I was young (hereinafter abbreviated)"

and the devout (convulsive) king metropolitan people who gather to church as usual, as is customary every week.

When the time came for Mass to start like that.

In front of the people gathered in the cathedral, an old man went up to the altar.

... is the Pope of the Mid-Eden National Church.

On his chin he stored a splendid white beard, on his head depicting a smooth curved surface he put on a giant mitra with gold embroidery on the same bright white silk as his outfit, and on his hand he was gripped by a large cane with an ancient complex shape.

The figure is an outfit such as a legendary wizard who is about to appear in a movie somewhere.

"Hmm..."

The Pope (seal), a beast man of no age, bent over, began to speak slowly when he leaked a somewhat satisfied voice out of his mouth to the Christians visible from the altar.

"I must give you all the unfortunate news..."

The pope, who always had a soft grin and was also popular with the people... but this day was unusual, giving him a sad atmosphere somewhere.

Did the king and the people of the city also notice the air, they all quiet back together and begin to listen to the Pope's words.

"You don't have to tell me everything about what this mass is for... because wise people should know. But still, if you say scratch... pray that those who have sacrificed themselves to defend this country will be summoned safely to the Gods, and hope that the dispute between us and the devil will not end soon... It is the purpose of this Mass to perform the ritual, and our Church exists to provide the occasion and opportunity."

An upset ran among the citizens, either because it was different from the words (words) of a speech like the usual determinative complaint, or because they could have expected words from the Pope after this.

Against them, which suddenly became noisy, the Pope raised his right hand... and everyone noticed how it was, the scene would be quiet again.

Then the Pope, without ever stopping to grin as usual, but unfortunately, uttered his words.

"... today, Mass decides to end"

I didn't bother...

The hustle and bustle fills the church as if it had cut a weir.

"How could you suddenly..."

"What do we do now..."

"What the hell happens when I'm young..."

and mouth to mouth, the citizens who speak confused language.

... In such a stirring, the voice of one girl echoed within the church.

"Hey, Pope? Why are you stopping Mass?

The voice reached the ears of the citizens, even in wonder and hustle... and everyone, because they had the same questions, or quiet came back inside the church again.

"... everything is for everyone's sake. As has been rumored all over the city, this country is now ruled by demons. Therefore, if we kept Mass going, there is a concern that we don't know when we will all be able to see from the demon gods... So, after putting everyone's safety first, we made a tough choice, but before the demons could see us, we decided to stop Mass today."

After saying so, the Pope bowed down sadly with his eyes meditating.

Then, again, I hear the girl.

"But, demon god, you don't seem to care that much about the details, do you? Even before this, in a street stall, I was happy to buy a grilled chicken... and then I ate the one that dropped it on the ground, saying a three-second rule or something, and it looked like I was stomach wrecking..."

To the voice of such a girl... a pope with a strange look somehow.

Then after showing a rushed bare gesture, he began to return the words.

"Ugh, um... Well, that's not the only way to make sure the citizens are safe. Above all, we make it our job to think best about the security and safety of our citizens and their happiness. Then you can't act in" maybe. "Please, don't you understand?

"Oh well... Right..."

And I'm convinced (...) Ugh (...) Girl's voice showing color.

... but apparently, I wasn't really convinced.

"... you have no choice. So, if I told you I'd be a brave man, would you add me to your list of sisters, gods?

Say that...

Batan!

I opened the church door and came in... wearing a light armor and a large cane on my hips with a knife (?) Lucia, a fox beast girl, wrapped around a bright white aura that did.

At that moment, the gaze of those who were in the church turned towards her in unison.

... but Lucia had no idea how lost or bewildered she was, like she had shown before, and only an invincible grin on her face.

Apparently, she came here quite prepared.

Then, when the Pope saw the figure, he began to reply, even though he had a somewhat dazed look on his face.

"... I'm Lucia, the brave candidate. Even if the Lord becomes a brave man, the Devil cannot take his name to the Bible. Only existing gods can designate a new god... Therefore, even if the Lord agrees to be the brave man of this land, the Demon God can only be the Demon God..."

"Mmm..."

To the Pope's words, Lucia swells her cheeks with her hands on her hips.

Perhaps now, in her mind, she says, 'This, I don't know!' You must be screaming...

I wondered how the citizens were reacting to those two exchanges... and were taken lightly by the sudden appearance of Lucia... and apparently, the majority of people were intrigued by the exchange of papal and brave candidates.

And that's when.

Batan!

and the church door opens again...

"Ko, you can be late for this important day!

and an elderly old man (seal beast man) appeared...

"... ah."

Seeing an old man like that, the consolidating pope and Lucia.

"... hmm?

The old man who came also seems to be consolidating because the circumstances cannot swallow.

In it, the first person to utter the word looked like a pope... someone.

"What, the waltz one, aren't you letting the Pope get away..."

"(... Teresa... the ground is out!

Lucia whispers caution against Theresa, who turned into such a pope... figure.

... and things, naturally, start going in a more chaotic direction.

"Uh, Pope! You escaped!

Waltz himself, transformed into a dark-haired version of the Fox Beast, emerged from the other side of the door that was open.

"Hih, hih?! Wah, Master Waltz!? Duh, please don't miss it! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Somebody stop this pope..."

... apparently waltz threatened the pope in the morning phase (?) On, he turned into a fanatic in a state that Waltz himself couldn't even handle...

And when Waltz was flustered by the rampant pope, she finally seemed to notice two people who were inside the church.

"... that? Lucia and Teresa, what are you doing here?

Two people laying their eyes down or pointing in the direction of the day after to such a waltz inquiry.

But looking at the two outfits, Waltz figured things out.

"... Ma, you were trying to do something extra, weren't you?

"Oh, I was just trying to protect your sister's honor!

"Oh, yeah. It's not like you wanted to try and imitate Waltz.

"... Teresa, you can't say that..."

"Ah..."

And because of the disturbance in my mind, or finally, the magic of transformation, Teresa returns to her original appearance.

Look at those two...

I didn't bother...

Once again, the inside of the church was engulfed in hustle and bustle.

Then...

"Huh?! (Here, there were so many...)"

Waltz, after coming here, finally seemed to realize that many of the people around him, all of them, were looking at themselves.

"... whoa, you can't stay like this. We're both going home! I have business to attend to. Look, Lucia, I'm gonna go buy some Inari sushi!

"Waltz... that's not an errand..."

and Lucia, who shines her eyes, and Teresa, who shows how frightened she is.

Then Waltz grabs two hands...

"Uh, excuse me, gentlemen! Sorry for the inconvenience. Keep Mass going. Oh, but it would be helpful if you didn't hear too much about the Pope there.... Bye!

Leave the word,

Gun!

Waltz leaving the scene, two others.

As a result, the Mass of that day, which had lost its papal role, was naturally cut off.

... After these few days, discussions within the organization of the National Church seem to have led Mass to decide to survive.

Sure, it seemed logical that the existence of a demonic god named Waltz could not be ignored as a threat to the Church hostile to the Demons... but she was to be found not to be exceptionally a threat in view of her previous achievements, etc.

That also had to do with the Pope's abducted quote, the brief time, but house arrest, and there was no real cause for the other cardinals and priests to fear 'when they will see themselves the same...'...

It should be noted that the Pope, who should otherwise only be able to replace him by resignation or death, seems, after the meeting, to have been forced to retire... but it is unclear whether that has anything to do with this matter...

... and.

We should only mention that on Mass Day, there was a sharp increase in the number of visitors to the Church on this day.

I don't know in detail what kind of civic sentiment worked by fulfilling it, Waltz (?) There seems to be no doubt that the mass they roughed up is the cause...
