Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... you know what I mean? This is my greatness......! ♪ Gogogogogogogo ♪

"Ha!"

"... sorry. Hey, I can't read you two stories, can I?

Waltz couldn't catch up at all with the story that suddenly began to unfold between tempo and null.

On the other hand, Yuki, who was next to her, seemed to have somehow grasped the flow of the story, with a bitter look on her face.

So Waltz decided to shelf the two people who were releasing air that he didn't really understand for now and ask Yuki who seemed to know what was going on.

"You know what Yuki is?

"Er... does Master Waltz know what a red ball is?

"Kogiku...? No, I don't know... From the sound of it, what's a red ball?

"Yes, when large numbers of people lose their lives, it is a substitute for what is said to be the 'fruit of the Yellow Springs' that emerges from the narrow confines of the world"

"Yellow Springs fruit... ah"

Looks like Waltz noticed something there.

"Red beads...... About me."

... an object in the village of Alc that was conceived as a demonic prop for surveillance because it was invisible to itself, and which was forced to be destroyed by the Fei Long.

At that time, all Waltz saw was a broken wreck, but instead, she apparently recalled an explanation about the red beads of the Feilongs.

Yuki opens her mouth when she sees it with the look of Waltz remembering it and convinced her.

... although it seemed a little off target.

"Again, red balls were made by Master Waltz...... uh, they were farmed, right?

"Cultivation even though it's fruit... okay. But the guy who says red balls is invisible to me, so it doesn't have anything to do with aquaculture or production?

and when Waltz speaks...... why,

"What... did you... Then again, that's what Tempo was made of..."

Yuki says so and unfortunately lays her eyes down.

Apparently, for her, she wanted Waltz to be collecting red balls.

Let's just say I'm not sure how she thought that...

... well, aside from that.

Even while Yuki was explaining to Waltz what red balls were, between Tempo and Null, it seemed that the unsure story continued to unfold.

"... What do you think, Master Null? This extra power...! What should I do with this power? ♪ Gogogogogogogo ♪

"Right...... Again, I think it would be a good idea to open a restaurant specializing in Demon King cuisine" Jiuru

"Really? Really? Demon King specializes in cooking.................. eh?

"I guarantee business prosperity, don't I? I think I'll probably go 3 meals a day, every day, for the first time I open a store!

"………"

Null stuffing, turning a hot gaze against a tempo that suddenly began to bewilder.

I guess Shvar, who was in Tempo's arms, also agrees with Null's words when he sees his black body flourishing (?).

... such a fold.

Finally when Yuki told me it depended on what was going on, Waltz, who now roughly grasped the conversation between the two of them about (...) the outside (...), was holding his head because the story was starting to go in a strange direction... not towards Null, who was stuffed with a glittering glance at her, casting his doubts.

"Hey, Null. How many of those red balls are floating around the tempo?

"How many..."

Speaking of which, I didn't count... After all I said, I looked everywhere in the hallway and counted two each and how many there were, pointing my fingers at where I thought there were red balls. Null.

... and after 30 seconds.

Looking somewhere in a hurry, blushing, against Null, who began to count the same place...... Waltz opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

"... in short, you have a lot?

"Uh... yes"

"No, you don't have to be depressed like that. It's drifting around the tempo, which probably means it's moving, right? Well, I can't help but count."

"Sorry......"

Even though Waltz says you don't have to be depressed, say so, look like a maid, and carefully bow your head null.

When I started to say somehow about her attitude like that, probably because I felt the interaction would continue at the endless...... Waltz decided not to bother trying and then finally said it against the tempo.

"I'm talking about Yuki... the one who says that red balls and all that sounds like they're made of people's souls? Maybe the tempo, it could break, what he said, that's what caused it, right? The 'possessed' one. Same story about Eve and the others, right?

Then Tempo... turned his eyes to the space where nothing was supposed to have been next to Waltz and, as usual, opened his mouth without expression, sadly.

"Really...... Maybe so...... But it's not me who's possessed..."

"What... what's that gaze..."

"... no, it's nothing. I was somewhat relieved to find out what caused it. Well, let's just say I'm free. Catalina seems to be worried too."

"Hey..."

"... Dear Tempo? Are you leaving the red balls here and going home?

"Yes, it's all your sister's. So... you can't pick it on your own, can you? Instead, I think your sister would be happy to leave you here."

"You still did! Oh, I'm going home, too!

Three people disappear on the other side of the elevator door, centered on a tempo with a sunny look, with such an exchange.

The moment the door closed, Tempo was sending a look at Waltz, catching a nibble and mouth with his jit eyes... maybe it wasn't his fault...

And

…………

After three people are gone, only one waltz is left on the dark floor.

Until now, she didn't even hate (say) working in a dark room, but from then on, she started working with room lights to a room where no one was there... because, at the end of the day, what was the change of heart...

Whatever.

On this day's border, from Waltz's new workshop, the mysterious cry disappeared.

However, that voice is not completely gone, and instead, what a strange story it has become to sound like the laughter of a child who is plotting a prank......

Well......

Once again, the scene moves to an alternative to the Royal Castle, which was at the bottom of the workshop.

If you want to be more specific about the place... it's the chancellor's office where the Cortex kept on doing business.

Gacha......

At night, the door to the chancellor's office is opened without a knock.

However, its identity is not waltz......

There are two men in the world who enter this room without a knock.

"Ooh? It's a very late return ~"

and mouth, Cortex in Negrije and...

"... but maybe not anymore..."

It was Teresa who looked tired like a salaried man who had been rubbed home by a full train.

There is supposed to be only one speaker on the surface, but there are actually two speakers, two of them.

Well, that's what everyone involved in the royal castle knows about that, so at the earliest, it's not a secret or anything...

"Even today (...) your concubine seems to be tired a lot ~?

"No? As an example… I had an argument as senators about what to call this facility, but that doesn't make any sense?

"You were ~. But if you were a concubine, could you use verbal and spiritual magic to deceive all the senators who don't care ~? Didn't you ~?

"It would have been nice to have up to three of us, but if only I had a lot of different ideas, even a concubine wouldn't have hands or feet..."

"Sounds like you've been disputing for a long time ~? By the way...... what naming proposals were out there ~?

Then...... Theresa, who was thrown that question, opened her mouth as she sank snugly onto the couch, looking vaguely at the ceiling.

"... but it's the Imperial Castle."

"... you weren't Demon Castle ~"

"Of course, there were voices saying, let's turn it into a magic castle? Well then... the senators, because there are waltzes, didn't try to give the name Demon King's Castle or Demon God's Castle. So it's Castle of the Demon King."

…… So how can you be the Demon King ~?

"... I see you have a concubine and a col."

"Um ~... what the hell are the senators saying ~? I have no idea ~..."

"The concubine doesn't even know. Oh, I don't know, too much argument, but I think you're going crazy. Nothing, I don't think it's a big deal where one or two demon kings got mixed up in the royal castle... was the attitude of the condescending concubines awkward about those things?

"Maybe ~... I gave a go sign to hire Master Null as a maid ~..."

"Hmm. Aren't you a concubine? Now that we have one more Demon King, isn't that a big deal?

"Well, maybe so ~..."

And, with a bitter smile, during the day, I put up a battle against myself... and Cortex remembers the demon king in his maid, who scattered in disgust.

However, the bitterness was not directed against Nur... in fact, it seemed to be directed against Theresa, who would have had nothing wrong, even if the Demon King had been about three confused.

Once used, thoughts, memories, and personalities are a form of spiritual magic that freely rewrites everything, the 'Spiritual Magic'.

If it activates, because even Lucia, the most powerful wizard in this country, can't win...

Well, without it, we can't deny the possibility that we're too poor to even beat Eve, who's supposed to be far younger...

After thinking about Theresa, such an overly subtle being, Cortex seems to have decided to return to the first question.

"So ~... have you decided on the name of this facility ~?

"Hmm. Of course, it's decided, isn't it? Instead, I don't want to continue this troublesome and unprovoked discussion for days! Then at the end of the day, you've been forced to decide under the authority of the chancellor!

"... is that right ~"

"So what's your name..."

Having said that, Teresa stopped saying the word once and smiled with a nymphomaniac... and then spoke the name.

"... it's Cortex!

"... I don't like it"

"What... co, cor t..."

"I don't like it. Please come back tomorrow to discuss it."

"Ugh... um..."

And cheats and Theresa slipping on the couch......

Thus the next day, a barren meeting was held again, after all, the name of the institution would be 'Royal Castle' in a place of no difficulty… the Cortex had a faint sense of who that 'king' was referring to or was not there….

It should also be noted that Teresa is...
