Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

7.1-14 Which Exploration 3

Then Eve greeted Fei Long's guardian and gave her a drink of the mana out of her pocket to safely transform her into a person (back).

The body of the brave man, who had lost his mind because he hit his head hard against the wall, was covered with the white cloth that Silanui had accidentally carried with him, and then they all moved on in the tunnel, ahead.

At that time, Eve and Silanui, the demons who were clothing the brave, were turning an indescribable, elusive gaze against him... but for them, they were supposed to be natural enemies (terrorists?) As for what the two of you thought when you saw the only brave man sinking into the ground without telling you... can you say that white cloth tells the story of it all, even if you don't say it directly?

Well, aside from that.

Why were the Cortexes trying to go beyond the dark cave without going back the way they came?

Fei Long defeated the big Minotaur that the brave men were fighting (?) The threat should have left at the point, so you could have just gone back to the city...

"No, I think so. But to one minotaur, he said it was strange that brave men would struggle... Of course, I can't deny the possibility that the brave man was so weak ~. Right ~? Atlas ~?

That Cortex, who said, kept walking forward even without showing any bare gestures of going back, was the primary cause of this.

Seeing her tail still walking in the lead, bumbling to the right and to the left... apparently Cortex hasn't given up on Minotaur livestock yet...

"... I don't really want to answer that question...... but sure, there's no denying there's another possibility of Minotaur.... Instead, if you don't, you don't think the brave will float..."

"Atlas says something insignificant ~. The brave man isn't dead yet ~..."

"Whoa! Who is it? You can wear a white cloth, or the first guy I told you about!

"... Um, excuse me. It's me..."

"... Huh?... something... I'm sorry."

Atlas apologizes for being shunned, recalling that it was Syranui, not Cortex, who suggested about wearing cloth, something good that I said in momentum.

Later, with his head up, Atlas asked Silanui with a stiff look as he remembered what had happened earlier.

"Speaking of which, Silanui? Could the battle of Syranui... actually be special?

Throw the sword against the enemy...

That in itself would be nothing special.

Long throwing knives, as the word indicates, because there is definitely a culture of throwing blades like knives...

However, in the case of Silanui, the knife thrown... the size of the original great sword had exactly (...) big (...) problem.

Lifting the sword lightly with one hand, likely as his height, he threw it as if throwing a light boomerang, as opposed to the minotaur, which should have been a considerable distance away, without straying...

That didn't seem like the kind of behavior a weak girl would do, no matter how she looked.

If I were to analogize, should I say it's close to how a ghost throws a stick...

Because of that reason, Atlas mouthed the question with a bewildered look on his face... in response to his question, Silanui...

"What...?! Ah, ahhh..."

And, after a warm, for some reason, I sighed small and said the answer.

"... after all, is that crazy?

"No, I'm not saying that it's crazy or wrong because there's got to be a way for each person to fight... but I'm surprised it was a combat style I've never seen before..."

"... maybe so. That's... I don't know, it's a very embarrassing story... but before, when I struck a badly made sword, what I threw as an ira was a habit acquired at the beginning..."

"(Wow... nasty habits...)"

Not only was the Atlas where the words were directed, but everyone around them thought so, together with a uniform frown.

Perhaps from now on, while Silanui works in blacksmiths, at least the members here will never get close to her...

"Oh, really... I can't believe you can do that with your habits... Silanui is amazing..."

Atlas said what he thought was awkward if he didn't respond to something, forcing him to, etc.

Then against his words, Syranui smiles bitterly and returns the words with his left hand touching the small horns that were growing two from the left and right of his forehead.

"No, that's not true. The ghosts are the only ones who are proud of their power. That said... I have no power at all, so I don't have a handle on it..."

"No, I don't think so, do you? You know, in this world, maybe you and your sister are the only ones who can break a crane with enough momentum to make me sound..."

With that said, Atlas smiles bitterly and scratches his cheek.

That's what I heard him say... and Cortex, who had been so quiet, started opening his mouth again.

"Were you ~? You still could afford it ~. Then next time, you turn a magnificent job so that your arms are no longer usable ~"

"Hey, Cortex! There's nothing busy about the work you usually ask me to do, and I can't do it any more!

That's what Atlas said and started waving his neck and hands in a desperate manner.

Apparently, he can't really afford...

"... is that right ~. Too bad ~. At this time, so I thought there was also a choice to break my body and ask Master Catalina to rebuild it ~... When that happens, update your body and work like a carriage horse more than ever k... oops ~? You saw something behind the cave ~?

"... now, for real, I told you.

"You understand very well ~. The boulder is my knight ~"

"Deny it a little..."

And when Cortex and Atlas interact as usual...

Bhun!

Dogowong!!

The wind cut and explosion suddenly engulfed the area.

"It's dangerous..."

They had a stunned look, more than ever, because they didn't understand what the stuff that had hit them was... but soon afterwards, they realized what Atlas had received (...) and stopped (...).

What the hell did he take...

"Right... This one threw the sword, so it wouldn't be weird if they fought the same way over there..."

As the saying goes... it was a giant double-edged axe (Lobrus), very similar to what Minotaur had earlier defeated.

Apparently, there are still other Minotaurs lurking on the other side of the tunnel in the dark...

"Cortex's earlier warning, you weren't kidding..."

With that said, the part of the big axe blade I took with one hand...

Bakibaki!!

and Atlas to grip and destroy.

Then Cortex, frowning at his words, returned the words as he swept his cheeks.

"Isn't that obvious ~. I'm here to catch Minotaur ~"

"You weren't tourist..."

"That's ~... well, I think hunting minotaurs can also be described as a form of tourism, so I don't think there's any ~? Strawberry hunting and so on is tourism."

"You're totally different... I mean, now you've improvised and appropriately considered the excuse..."

"If you care about such details, you'll soon grow old ~?

At the earliest, Atlas shuts up in a grumpy way in a situation where he doesn't know where to start.

Apart from that, by his hands, because he could not understand the situation in which the axe was easily squeezed, or because his companions shut up in a different way than Atlas.

When silence, including such varied colors, enveloped the air around...

Mwow!!

It was through the cave that a literal roar echoed...
