Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
7.1-16 Minotaur 1
The accident is a sudden visit.
Whether you wish or not, regardless of trying...
I mean, the question isn't, do we get out or don't get out, but after we do, what kind of relationship do we have with each other...?
"... that?
Three waltzes entered the underground tunnel from the site of the Count's house.
I just walked in the tunnel for about 15 minutes... and there seemed to be something in Yuki's eye.
"Uh... could it be a corpse?
What I've seen in her eyes... was an adult male with a white cloth all over her body.
As far as that looks, apparently, he lost his life during the fight against Minotaur.
Let's just say a giant sword broken in two that was falling nearby tells the story of that spectacular battle...
Waltz, who saw him like that... but for some reason he said with his neck tilted.
"Hmm? That's crazy... There's a response to the sensor, so it looks like he's still alive... And, see? Looks like he's breathing, doesn't he?
"Oh, it's true..."
Yuki looks convinced when she sees the cloth on the face area going up and down regularly.
Then she asked Waltz while showing a disturbing bare gesture about what to do.
"Um... what do we do? Do you want to keep him here and move on?
"Right... what do you think? Mr. Hunter."
"Well... if he doesn't seem to be in danger of his life, I don't think it would be particularly problematic to leave him here like this..."
The last hunter to say so approached a white cloth...
Chillah.
and check on the person inside.
And she turned her gaze in the cloth...
"If you're a soldier, you know who... if you're an adventurer, you know n... eh..."
... solidified for some reason and gently undone the cloth, like reverse regeneration.
"... seems to have no particular problem, so let's move on"
"Um... is something wrong?
Yuki looks at her surprised (a lot) because of a sudden change in the hunter's attitude.
Then the hunter...
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I gave Yuki, who was tilting her neck, a gesture that there was nothing wrong with both hands, and said so.
I don't know if such a hunter's attitude seemed strange to Waltz, who has spent a short time together...
"... but in the tunnel where a minotaur might come that can't even count or help, I'll leave it like this, I mean, you wonder if it's on the boulder..."
When I said so, she crouched on the edge of the cloth, as the hunter did too...
Chillah.
and peek inside.
"... could it be a float that's gotten in so far... eh..."
Then, as if to reproduce the hunter's behavior, waltz also grabbed the cloth suddenly and lowered it to the ground... in the first place, he opened his mouth in such a way that he had not seen or interested in the cloth, etc.
"... well. It's close to the two hours (time limit) that we promised the Cortexes, so let's move on."
And again, Waltz trying to walk out in the tunnel.
In doing so, Yuki looks unconvinced that both of the two people who peered into the cloth behaved suspiciously...
You had no intention of disputing the term Waltz's time limit, or shaking the man in front of you out of her sight and back of her brain, it seems she decided to follow Waltz as she went.
... except that if the cloth hanging on the man was heavily untied (flaked) and Yuki hadn't hooked his leg to the thin thread that was coming out of that end, I'd be talking about...
GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...
"Oops... Oh, excuse me!
Yuki doesn't notice the yarn because the area was dim and hooks the yarn to the leather boot she was wearing.
Then she unwrapped (so much) the thread that was caught on her feet, and took the cloth that she had pulled... and gently hung it over the man who was still asleep.
Of course, this time, so that you can breathe easily, the area of your face is out...
"... are you an adventurer who was in the Minotaur exorcism? From my gear, I don't look like a soldier..."
She looked at the still young man who had come to light and said such questions and thoughts.
Then Waltz and the hunter, who watched such a series of Yuki's actions a little further away, said to each other, 'Hey, what do we do?' 'What shall we do?' After saying it to each other... it seems that in the end, Waltz decided to sigh small and talk about the identity of the man he slept with.
"... that, brave man?
"Really, are you a brave man? Boulders are land inhabited by humans. Parents named themselves heroes, you gave children..."
I'm sure some demons give their children the name 'Demon King', 'Black Knight', etc... and waltzes and hunters with a difficult look, thinking the opposite of Yuki.
For Waltz, who tried to reveal his identity, to be honest, he just wanted to keep his identity ayed... but when he left it at that, he felt like it would only be a hassle when something happened later... and Waltz seemed to have decided to explain it firmly so Yuki could understand.
"... Yuki. I need to talk to you about something important... will you listen to me?
"Huh?... Oh, yes! Wait a minute..."
In a suddenly awe-inspiring manner, he turns a serious gaze on himself to Waltz... Yuki who, for some reason, makes sure his hair and clothes aren't messed up, and takes a deep breath, then returns his gaze straight to her.
"... yes, please!
With a slightly red-stained face, Waltz had no idea what the hell Yuki was expecting... but remembered that his buddies would occasionally turn the same gaze and decided to talk without caring.
"You know what? Yuki. Actually, he's a real brave man..."
"Yes."
"... in short, a hitman who's after the lives of Yuki, Null, or your sisters."
"Uh... is that all we're talking about?... Too bad."
"... Huh?
The reaction of Yuki, a former demon king, is much thinner than I thought, and furthermore, I unwittingly frown because I didn't know what the word 'unfortunate' meant.
Yuki then sighed small and then turned around the brave again... and turned a gentle gaze to see the unusual child before starting to say what she thought of him.
"... may be a rude story to him, but I don't think anyone who can't beat Minotaur can beat the sisters. And..."
With that said Yuki turns the waltz again and goes on with the words.
"This body was made by Master Waltz and Katarina. If you're about brave, you don't feel like losing first, so you don't have a problem.... Oh, but Lucia the Brave is the exception, isn't she?
Yuki arrived at the conclusion that if she started a battle with Lucia, she would be able to live with a direct hit of the magic particle beam that would fly in at that moment... and die instantly.
Compared to such a brave (candidate) Lucia, the brave man in front of her, who can't even beat Minotaur, did not seem to be a threat to her at all.
"Oh, yeah... That would be nice, but..."
Waltz wondered if the outbreak of the Demon King (Yuki) and the Brave could lead to a very bloody battle, or a typical labromance-like development.
Apparently, however, the image of the brave man in Yuki had already been benchmarked by Fox Daughter (Lucia).
On the other hand, when the hunter who was nearby saw her look somewhere like a ho, she probably had the same concerns as Waltz...
Well, in the case of the hunter, he seemed concerned that the land of battle between the demon king and the brave would ruin a lot of things by becoming South Fortress, the home of the ongoing reconstruction...
Then, in the end, the waltzes tried to start walking back into the tunnel again, taking the brave men on the spot.
That's when...
Bun...
and a low sound echoes around.
Immediately after that.
In a dim tunnel that was illuminated by a weakly glowing magical pine light, it was wrapped in light by the glow of LED lights previously installed by the waltzes in such a way that they could stretch over the walls of the campus.
Apparently someone started activating the nuclear fusion reactor installed next to the underground lake at the end of the tunnel to power the entire underground...
"What is this?!
"Huh? Electricity (lights), though?
Even though I wasn't surprised to hear about the brave man, Waltz replies to Yuki, who panicked after seeing the surrounding scenery, which suddenly brightened up, in such a way that nothing happened.
"I'm a member of this town, and I think it's only about me or Cortex or Tempo who can run the generator, but given the fact that Tempo is definitely attached to Catalina and Cheval... maybe Cortex started it..."
Waltz, saying so, started walking in the tunnel again.
Behind her like that... a hunter with a sad gaze on Dagger for some reason, and Yuki follows him with a rare gaze on the inside of the tunnel.
... and where they reached the big underground lake, walking about another 10 minutes from there and not counting minotaurs at all...
'... what?
To the sight that came into their eyes, the three doubted their own eyes.
Because there...
"... heh heh. This completes the Minotaur Ranch ~?
and Cortex, who speaks happily and...
"Perhaps it's full of the feeling of being done off?!... but I don't know what you're going to use this for..."
Next to her, a complicated made-up (Eve) was enjoying the sight while royally indulging in a massive minotaur connected to a private room (an impromptu cowhouse) dug to the ground with something like a chain...
... Note.
The flying dragons, who were supposed to be working with them, were rolling back to their original appearance (wearing maid clothes) and in a gutted manner on the ground... Atlas seemed to be chained to the cowshed, as were the Minotaurs.
Otherwise, Syranui... whining about bumps and something, seems to be still making something like chains in a simple melting furnace...
... Apparently, while the Waltz and the others were talking to the Earl, the Cortex and the others were at the ranch of petitions (?) Seems to have been successful in building...
