Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

A black shadow rushes through the darkest night sky that had not yet set the moon.

It is the Porch of Cerberus with Strella on his back.

They were now moving beyond the mountainous areas behind the King's Capital, beyond the hills... and into the black darkened woods on the other side of it.

When running through such a forest, Strella slowly opens her mouth because she feels like she looks something.

"I didn't think I'd be traveling long distances on a dog..."

and Strella in an emotionally shrieking lady as she rocks on the back of a 20m (tailed) pouch.

Then, on his own back, he heard his husband whine about something, a three-necked... black Labrador Retriever like Porch turned toward her as he ran.

"Kum? 'Ha-ha-ha...

"Yeah, it's nothing. Never mind... I mean, before, look at that, right?

"Kun..."

Dogowong!!

"Cane?!

"(stupid dog...)"

Because I was running without looking forward, or a pouch hitting the big tree.

Still, she (female) keeps running even as she knocks down the tree...

"Totally..."

Strella hung a healing magic on her pouch, saying so.

Then,

"Wong!!!

And it was a poach that sounded happy, but...

Dogowong!!

"Cane?!

"... you, you're unwilling to learn..."

I take healing magic, and I say I recovered safely, but I see it again and I get injured Porch...

Your dog like a heavy machine without such a driver (?), while Strella turned a raw and warm gaze from its back, while traveling, she continued to exercise the magic of recovery...

Then, when I ran for about two and a half hours.

"This is... this is an example village."

Straight through the woods, straight over the mountains, straight across the river...

And what arrived was a small village that was made in a place sandwiched by mountains.

There's a big river nearby, so it's like flowing trees cut out of the mountains into a river and sending them to a downstream city... a village created by so-called foresters, I guess.

Such a village... but there was no light at all.

Instead, outside the village... it also seems to be dotted with lights of light and pine light on an open little hill with no trees.

Perhaps those who have taken refuge from the village have gathered there to make something of a refuge.

"... that means there is an example denki lizard (thunder dragon) in the village or at the end of a straight line between them and the village?

"Wong?"

"Are you all right? Because I'm not telling you to fight."

"Kun..."

When Strella talks like that, she unfortunately leans down on her pouch.

"(Sure, if you think about the giant Porch, it's going to end with a bite and a blow, but if you run out of 'feet' on your way home as a bad cop, it's the pot that the woman (Hermes) thinks...)"

Then Strella takes the look of the irritating woman that has come to mind, in an instant, in a corner of her brain (?) dust shooting into the trash can that was there, then gently stroked Porch's back as if nothing had happened... and descended using wind magic on the ground on the spot.

"Well. Well, I'm gonna go, so Porch's gonna leave a message here, okay?" Wait, "right? You can do it, right?"

"Wong!"

Bark so short... Porch to start 'laying low' for some reason.

"(... somewhat anxious, but if you come after me, you just have to 'wait' every time, so... you're okay, right?

For once, neither 'lay low' nor 'feast' is the top compatible of 'wait' (?), Strella turned her gaze toward the village as she flipped her own skirt.

"(Let's go exorcise lizards that interfere with your father's sleep)"

And she began walking along the dark and rugged mountain path towards the village, leaving a pouch on the high hill on the spot...

Then shortly after, Strella came to the village.

"(Uh, back pain... Is this lack of exercise...)"

Because it was an unfamiliar long journey on Porch's back... or because he wasn't too much exercise at some point playing the lady, and on top of that, the limit came on his ankle because he walked the unfamiliar mountain path...

She self-massaged the sore part of her back with her left hand, bending over like a grandmother in a dress, looking around at what was going on in the village...

And as a result of turning around for a while.

"(That? You're not here...)"

Apparently there's no sign of something lurking in the village...

"(What signs at all, isn't that a little strange? Of course lizards (dragons), but no sign of small animals or livestock, what the hell...?

When Strella is uncomfortable with the signs in the village...

Zaku!

It conveyed the feeling of something hitting my shoulder.

So if you turn your gaze to that one...

"... arrows?

... had a thin metal arrow stabbed in his shoulder.

Even so, I wasn't piercing my fortified own skin, I was just stabbing myself in the clothes...

As she gives that sight a troublesome look, she sighs heavily...

"This is unexpected, good prey seems to have gotten lost..."

"I don't think it's normal to be a princess or anything this midnight..."

"Well, fine. I'll use it to drag down the canopy and all that god stuff... but I've got something to do before I do."

"Hehe hehe..."

And straw, and those who were equipped that did not seem to be the villagers after all, gushed out of the shadows of the house, and out of the midst.

That number... roughly 50.

The gear is neither of the adventurer's nor of the soldier's, he's wearing some modern black gear, and in his hands...

"(Gun...)"

... As for Strella, she had a weapon she didn't really want to see in this world.

For once, there seemed to be others with bowguns and swords, but the majority with pistols.

Strella thinks about how to deal with them wearing such dark and confusing gear...

"Whoa, lady. Better not get weird, huh? Even so, I guess it's time for the paralysis poison to come around."

Talk to, middle-bodied man.

Against him like that... Strella laughed inside, and decided to act...

"Do you think you can do this for free?

said, an arrow stabbed him (?) Strella bends over more to make her lower back feel really sore while showing a bare gesture as if it hurts her shoulders and at the same time creating an atmosphere as if she was sick.

On the other hand, isn't the other side going to stick with it?

"Hmm. It doesn't matter if it's free or not, it doesn't change what we do.... fuck you."

The moment the man said yes,

"Uhhh!!

The men who changed the color of their eyes swarmed to her.

Against them like that, Strella assumed that her acting was no more pointless.

"... I don't know how to cook, then this"

and stretched his aching back for now without showing a bare gesture like he was troubled by much... and exercised earthly magic on the ground.

At that moment,

Dogowo!!

A large donut-shaped hole about 5 m deep opened into the ground, leaving the standing part of the strella.

"Hey, stop, don't push!

"Huh?!

"Wow!!

Dogogogogogogogo...

And like golf balls, men sucking into the hall.

"Now you're settled."

It wasn't a great deal of dirt magic, but that's it, Strella with a satisfying look on her face that almost came with a piece of it.

To her, as a matter of course...

Pa!!

and a ball of lead flew in, along with a dry sound.

But needless to say,

Pasi...

And, Strella, when she catches a bullet as if she were gripping a mosquito or something with her hand,

"I'll give this back because it flew in."

Dogowong!!

I bounced the bullet back at my fingertips.

In doing so, the bullet breaks down as if it could not withstand too many shocks and hits the surrounding houses, and the trees that were growing in the village, blowing them to pieces.

However, fortunately, I wonder if that didn't hit people.

If it had hit me, I would have literally had soft meat chunks without her rubbing my shoulders loose...

"Hino?!

"Oh, now it's no use regretting it, huh?

Dogowo!!

At the feet of those who remained (10 people), they also used dirt magic to penetrate holes about 5 m deep.

Guess from where the groaning sounds are being heard from inside it, they all seem to have frustrated or broken their legs the moment they fall into the hole.

"Let's leave the rest to the knights coming tomorrow..."

When she muttered satisfactorily, making sure there were no signs left in the village, she used wind magic to gently jump over her own drilled hole so that she could take steps.

Then, after the scene, he walked back to the small, high hills where Porch would wait.

"(Still, I wonder why there were such weird people here... And take a pistol...)"

Strella doesn't know a pistol is being brought into this world because she hasn't heard from Waltz.

She was walking back down the mountain path, leaning her neck alone, before such an untenable fact.

"(Well, if you want to make a pistol, you can make as many as you want... the problem is, you don't have a lizard and you're a thug (?) There is... Something, I mistook about your father, and he said, 'God of the disputed manages it,' and there's this previous anti-government organization thing... I mean, this request itself was a trap, right? I don't like it...)"

With that in mind, she turned her gaze from the spot to an open place where the lights of the pine lights were lit, which was visible as a flicker.

"(People under those lights, maybe thugs... I'm not going to make sure.)"

Hermes saw her skin peeled off, but still, her 'Lady Roleplay' went on.

So Strella didn't want to go out of her way to the soldiers or the villagers.

... and that's when she realized that there was a pine light in a place where she shouldn't have remembered the lights were on.

"Wow... yuck..."

Strella panicking, so much so that she actually speaks out, not the voice of her heart.

It was... it was where Porch was supposed to do the 'wait' and wait for himself for the most part.

"Ahhh..."

Then she was hurrying up an unfamiliar mountain path, thinking about what an excuse to make to those who would have found Porch.

But... the situation waiting for Strella was a long way from her imagination.

... I see that sight, and I forget about the pain in my back, the arrow stabbing me in the shoulder... and the fact that I'm playing the role of a lady myself, Strella.

And she... opened her mouth.

... that, too, with all-out force.

"Pooch no!!!

It was in Strella's eyes that she uttered what could be described as such a sad...

"Hmm? What the..."

"Come on?... a toddler in a dress... It can be a monster from this part of the world."

"Still young... but no problem"

... was pierced by those who speak so, like long spears, the figure of their dog...
