Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The view of the two walking kingdoms had changed dramatically from about six months before the Waltz first came here.

It is now transformed into a semi-permanent source of wood, a world tree that rests on part of the King's capital sky (?) At some point, there was a massive increase in the presence of Lucian artificial mines such as monoliths and black royal castle and workshop facilities that soared high in the sky….

Even with that, it was creating another, other-world-like atmosphere in the other world... and the sight of the township seemed to have changed so as to hang a circle on it.

Martial arts shop where large quantities of plumbing were strewn to pass the magic.

Until then, there was no reinforced concrete magic prop shop in Wangdu.

Children playing with mechanical toys powered by magic.

And more Inari sushi shops......

If a medieval town in the modern world was the scene of the original king's capital…, the scenery of the current king's capital emitted an atmosphere of lack of unity that enclosed both magic and science, which were supposed to be conflicting beings.

Unlike Steampunk... without disregarding the laws of physics, it's like compensating science with magic and reinterpreting magic with science... where exquisite symbiotic relationships were unfolding.

It should be noted that the term steampunk fits perfectly not with the agricultural giant Mid-Eden, but with the development of airship technology, with neighboring Endercia?

... Eve and Cortex walk on the cobblestones that were strewn out on its streets throughout a town where science and magic coexist, whichever way but not exclusively.

A blacksmith spitting out pieces of occasional blue, sparkling magic from a metal chimney or an energy demon-guided radio (?) Looking sideways at the children manipulating, as they walked out of the royal castle on the west boulevard for about 15 minutes...... suddenly, a fragrant scent tickled the nostrils of the two.

"Mmm, this smell. Even if you don't have an appetite, it might smell like yodel coming out."

"Right ~ (maybe it's Pavlov's dog (Eve) ~?

In fact, Cortex smiles at her as she watches Eve swallow who.

She seemed to have some words to say like that... but the physiological reactions caused by that smell seemed to have happened to her too... Cortex ended up swallowing those words, along with his own saliva, too.

"Nah, why don't you order it?"

"Whatever you want ~? If you tell me you can't, I'll just force you to make it ~"

"What... Ugh, yeah..."

I somehow could have imagined a future where a pancake shop would be crushed because of what I said poorly... Eve with a different kind of difficult look than just before that.

Then when she said, 'After all, let's not say we can't afford to...' and we got to the idea that the children are the only ones...

"... right here ~?

The two arrived at a small wooden house that was the source of the smell.

That was one bottle from the boulevard, off the inner alley, where not so many people were walking.

Was that the cause, or was it not originally popular......

In the store where the store was opened… However, there did not appear to be any customers.

At the entrance to such a store, Eve, dressed in yellow maid clothes, ran over and led Cortex inside, hanging her hand on goodwill......

Unlike the common stores in Wangdu, Eve said, a pancake shop that stood as if it were a Japanese house.

There was...... not actually a pancake shop, it seemed to be a snack shop that mainly dealt with things like Japanese sweets.

Pancakes, dough, buns... and Inari sushi...

Inari sushi, which was becoming popular in Wangdu, seems to be making its way to this point...

Eve, who entered the store with no one, hurried over to the counter and threw her voice towards the back of the store.

"Sorry! Pancake crumbs!

Eve waving her yellow tail happily after she said so.

Between then and when the clerk came out, she kept waving her tail... no matter how you look at it, it's your dog.

Looking behind such a happy Eve, Cortex said, 'What kind of person is coming out ~?' And as Eve toured her imagination about the appearance of a clerk who seemed to be having a friendly conversation... one clerk slowly appeared from beyond the darkness, who was smelling fragrant.

... No, rather, I showed up, should I say...

…………

... a man clerk with a skinhead, big as a wall... and a silent appearance.

Perhaps he is the main player in this store….

"... (Um ~, is this really a pancake shop ~?

Look at him in Japanese clothes that showed up...... Cortex starts to wonder if the store we entered was actually the type of dangerous store that the girls shouldn't be in alone.

But with her such concern, it seems that Eve's swinging tail has increased its speed and amplitude….

"Good morning, store owner!

".................." Kokuri

The giant shopkeeper gently returns the meeting in response to Eve's energetic greeting.

Against him, Eve began to speak up about the matter, single-handedly.

"Uh, I came to buy pancakes today, but I might have asked for one favor. I'll pay for it...... can you make me a pancake with Eve's favorite flavor?

... It was that moment.

………… /(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk

As if to drink, the shopkeeper opened his eyes and turned his gaze to Eve.

A war-torn soldier turns his gaze to the enemy who appeared before him... that's how it is.

"Ha... I was worried you'd say no, but I might have been relieved! Well, come on, it tastes..."

"What? Hey, hey, Eve? Have you ignored anything about it ~?

"What?... Uh, sorry, Master Cortex. I might have forgotten to talk to you about money..."

"No, I don't mind about the money, but that's not what I'm talking about ~..."

"Hmm? Isn't it?

"Eh... no matter what you think, it doesn't look like the store owner is accepting Eve's story..."

How do you think a shopkeeper who turns a blind eye to a drink has heeded your request...

Today, for Eve's sake, it was a Cortex I was going to take off one skin... but to the boulder, I seem to have accidentally bothered my head with the reaction of the incomprehensible shopkeeper.

Return words as if Eve remembered something against her like that.

"Uh, Master Cortex, this might be the first time I've had a conversation with the store owner. Then I might get it wrong, but this could be the shopkeeper's nod, right?

"... Really ~?

Cortex directly asks the store owner if he was not convinced by Eve's words.

Then...

………… /(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk

And because I showed a sight to sip the same... if Eve's words are correct, then perhaps, a sign of affirmation, that is.

Well, even if it was the exact opposite kind of expression, it makes sense, so I can't even say it fits...

"... Were you ~. Excuse me for that ~. So, Eve? Keep ordering. But...... if you order so much that you can't eat it, or if you do something that makes the food taste awful and crude, you can't ~?

"Yeah! Of course!

And Eve worried for a while before... I started ordering.

"Uh, three kinds, maybe you want me to make them? First...... Udon Seike!

"... Huh?

………… /(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk

"Next... Baked Noodles!

"... I don't think it needs to be pancakes ~..."

………… /(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk

"Finally...... Gyoza Seike!

"... is it crushed dumplings ~?

………… /(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk

The expression of affirmation on each of the three pancakes that Eve asked for (?) Strong side shopkeeper showing.

Apparently, he took Eve's order, comfortably (?) They seem to make it.

However, as for Cortex, I felt like Eve's order just tasted somewhere without difficulty and I didn't seem to be convinced.

She therefore uttered this to the maid dog.

"Couldn't you have tried some more, adventure ~? For example, Herchery-flavoured pancakes, jam-flavoured pancakes, and Inari sushi flavoured pancakes ~ …"

"Dear Cortex, you said earlier that if you made the food crude, you couldn't..."

"If you eat properly and responsibly, I think it's good ~"

"That's what I meant... Hmm, what should I do..."

After ordering, Eve gets the look of regret when she hears the sincerity of Cortex's words.

Then she thought about changing her order.

………… ♪ Cuckoo, cuckoo ♪

The shopkeeper reacted to something and turned his gaze toward Cortex for the third time in a row.

…… I have a bad feeling about something ~... "

An unspeakable anxiety passed her back of the brain... the shopkeeper put two cups of tea on the spot and went back to the back of the store.

With a gaze on his back like that...... Eve utters words that support Cortex's concerns.

"Maybe that means you can make a Cortex-sama share."

"... what flavor ~?

"That's... isn't that a hell-cherry flavor, a jam flavor and an Inari sushi flavor? I knew it..."

"... the choice not to eat ~?

"Maybe, store owner, I think I'll be angry..."

"... right ~..."

Cortex, who said an extra word but was misled by a shopkeeper who didn't seem to be good at communicating, ended up eating pancakes with a flavor he didn't really want to imagine.

Then between the time the pancakes were cooked, to the suspicious scent drifting from the back of the store... she had a subtle look like she'd never shown before, or she wasn't there...
