Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Kachi... kachi... kachi...

A large Zenmai clock, that keeps the hour quietly engraved in a painful atmosphere that surrounds the room.

There was such a watch... of course, waltzed, in the reception room...

Why the hell was the room wrapped in such a different air...

For the Lord of the Town, the Count, with his arms, had closed his eyes with a seemingly difficult look, and contemplated...

At the heart of his thoughts is probably Yuki, the former demon king.

"..." chill.

"Uh... was there anything?

From time to time, I open one eye and put Yuki's figure in my eyes, Count.

But even when Yuki inquired, the Count never spoke back...

"Uh... would you have made any coarse phases?

Yuki could ask the two of us who were next door...

"No... don't think that's not..."

The hunter, with a seemingly difficult look on his face, mouths an ambiguous answer...

"Er... yeah. It's a political problem..."

Waltz's has returned those words with a regrettable, convincing... expressive look (grin).

"Really... Right..."

Yuki sighs small in her mouth alone, not to be rude to the Earl in front of her, taking two words.

She finds that it is common for her to be a Demon Nation (a king who can unite the Demon Nation, even though it will also bear the letter 'ex') (?) I seem to have felt a wall that cannot be easily exceeded, thinking about how it is seen by the inhabitants of the human side...

Then Yuki began to speak to the Count, choosing words, in order to solve the misunderstanding.

"Father of the hunter... no, Count Beltz. I was, indeed, the Demon King. It was a country called Boreas on the other side, beyond the Great River, north of Mid-Eden, that had a total of demonic people. For 250 years since I came to the throne, I did, for a reason, have wars with countries on the human side, but I don't have any, not least now... and always will, with the intention of waging war or hostility with Mid-Eden.... just say it with your mouth, it may not tell you, but please, I hope you understand..."

That's what I said, Yuki, head down.

Then this time, for some reason, the Count starts talking in a slight panic.

"Master Yuki. Please raise your face. We are heavily aware that the one brought in by our daughter and Master Waltz is not the bad one. I'm just... I'm sorry for being so personal, but there's only one thing that's confusing me..."

After that, the Earl, who once separates the words.

Then he started to say sorry why he was thinking about it.

"... your appearance is a terrible resemblance to that of a goddess transmitted to this country..."

"... Oh, is that what you mean"

Yuki was not the only one who reacted to the Count's words when he heard stories about how he looked like a goddess...

Waltz, who created her present appearance and even talked about the goddess, looked equally convinced.

"I can't believe there are side effects here... I'm so sorry, Yuki."

"Eh..."

To the words of Waltz, Yuki and the Earl who speak of a different kind of 'eh', and the hunter.

If you're the Count and the Hunter, with the voice of doubt you leaked because you don't know what Waltz's words mean, if you're Yuki... well, let's skip it because it's not even about deliberately explaining it.

"What the hell..."

"... nothing. Don't worry, it's simply similar to the heirloom, it's someone else in red"

"Ha, ha..."

Waltz trying to force me to cut that story off without telling him why in particular.

In her attitude, the Count had a troubled look... but he had nothing more to ask (just).

Perhaps you thought that as a result of being yabbed, a demon king or a demon goddess or goddess would emerge...

Then the air in the room just went back to normal.

Waltz spoke of the doubts the Count had since he came into this room.

"Speaking of which, what happened to your wife?

Hear that word, hunter with his beast ears pinned.

You shouldn't be able to hear the sound with those ears, but he was just as concerned about the lack of his own mother as Waltz was.

"Carol... my wife is heading out to the village of Alk right now. Recently, it seems that the village has developed considerably and has been on an inspection on my behalf until the completion of this town's home."

The first person to react to the word was a hunter who had been seconded to the village of Alk for a long time.

"Is it the village of Alc... I don't feel like I've been there for a long time, but you seem to have changed a lot..."

"Ah. I don't know more about it because I didn't go directly either, but I hear more and more people are using novel tools and magic to do business these days, and they're suddenly growing in population, right?

"Really... When I get a chance, I want to go..." chill.

And, against Waltz, a hunter who sends side audio with his gaze.

"... no, it's good, right? Even if you go. But if Cortex shook his head vertically, right?

"I'm not saying I can't. For example, on my way home tomorrow."

"Then... maybe it's good?

When two people imagine Cortex wanting to squirt and say 'I want to stop by the village', they wonder if she'll admit it without making an unpleasant face, etc... the Earl, who was listening to the conversation, has asked a lot about Waltz.

"Um... Master Waltz? Could it be that the giant airship moored outside..."

"Huh? Oh, is that our energy? Speaking of which, you didn't explain it yet."

"Again, was it Master Waltz's airship... Among the soldiers and the people of the town, it was a big problem... no, it was a big topic."

"I guess..."

With that said, Waltz remembers the many gazes that have been directed at us the moment we got off the ship.

At the same time she continued her words, recalling that the Count was out of breath when he came to this room.

"Maybe the Count was busy... and that's what caused it?

Waltz, in fact, seems to have wondered if they had created a cause to wield the Counts.

In that case, would it mean suddenly pushing without any contact, slamming the whole city into a vortex of confusion, summoning the Count of the Town (top) to introduce the former Demon King...

But contrary to such Waltz's expectations (?), the Earl shook his head sideways before saying.

"... I won't deny it, but it's not a big deal because I generally had predictions about the airship"

"... Huh? So, could it have been that we were having some sort of important ceremony, that we were welcoming important guests, that we were having some serious problems...?

Then the Count, in response to her last words... tried to open his mouth somewhere, giving up the look he had given up.

Probably a word I didn't intend to say to the waltzes.

"Actually..."

And it was when the Count tried to start explaining.

Dgowong...

Low sounds and vibrations echoed, like something had exploded somewhere in town.

The Earl frowns, either because he knows who the sound is or because he remains in his seat without showing any particular haste.

"Maybe the Atlas..."

Waltz thought that the younger brothers who were breaking up and acting out might have done something, but... apparently, that's not what happened.

"Actually..."

Earl who opens his mouth to repeat the same words again.

... and he said.

"... a demon lived in an underground tunnel, and to exterminate it, he was fighting with the brave..."

"What... Um... something, I'm sorry..."

I wondered if it was bothered by the energy, the evacuation trenches I had built before, and, waltz with my head knowing that trouble was caused by massive traps.

Apparently, this town was now in unseen danger...
