Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

A large, ancient stone building in the king's capital of Mid-Eden, the "Souji Temple".

It is a huge tomb where the historical Mid-Eden royals and their ministers sleep.

There was a small pyramid-like altar in the interior of the building, which was well ventilated because there were no doors, and a flower table at its apex, from which a large stone cabinet (Shigehiro) was venerated.

It is a giant coffin, where the kings that have left the world sleep.

Theresa used to come to the altar where she could see this coffin, giving flowers, looking up blurry, making recent reports, etc... but only today it seemed a little different.

…………♪

It was with such a small voice that no one could hear it, that it uttered the national anthem of the former Mid-Eden kingdom.

If you saw that from the side, you didn't even look like a monk with too much devotion or a mentally ill girl, but she is now the president of the national parliament representing this country.

Originally, he is king of this land.

The anthem therefore had a special significance.

And after the whole national anthem was over, Teresa, who sighed loudly, murmured about this to the coffin.

"Today, this day... Mid-Eden is going to change a lot. I don't even feel like I made the same report a few months ago... but it's going to change so much that it's comparable today. So... Father, Mother. Please keep an eye on my concubine from the sky."

Then Theresa closes her eyes and prays.

Then, to her like that...

"... Dear Teresa? Are you all right, sir?

Julia of Sacubas, who is director of the Intelligence Agency, showed up.

She came here because she was worried about nothing about Theresa... so there was no reason.

Teresa seemed to know why, and she responds to Julia, who was down the stairs.

"... Lord, you're here alone again, aren't you? I said so much that it wasn't the Lord's fault that the fathers died..."

"Well, it's like my routine, so never mind. I hope you can see that there's one unreadable sacubus of air that's getting lost."

Julia describes herself in terms of a unit called 'the horse', as if she were not to treat humans, in response to Theresa's question, which contained a twinge.

Apparently, she still felt responsible for the actions of her own ex-boss, the fellow Thacubas who murdered the kings of this country.

If you had noticed the anomaly of your boss then, the kings of this country...... i.e. Teresa's parents would not have had to die......

And Teresa, and this country, weren't they on the path they were supposed to take these days...

Because of such a burden, Julia did not return to her own country, nor did all that, nor did Yuki, the former Demon King, who came to Mid-Eden, nor to Nur, the current Demon King, work like a sinner as a direct subordinate of Theresa and Cortex.

Of course, if a favor comes down from the (...) favored waltz of her mystery (...), she basically shouldn't have done anything to turn it down, but as a priority to get the job, the Teresas were up there.

Well, that didn't seem to be what Julia revealed to anyone, it seemed like the determination she had inside her.

"Lord... you've come here a lot more often than a concubine for getting confused, haven't you?

"No, that's not true, is it? I've only been here 191 times."

"You counted..."

"Yes. I thought it was a story about this kind of occasion"

"... discipline"

The words of Julia, speaking as if to stand aside… But because she knew it was never a joke, Teresa laughed bitterly instead, listening to what she had to say, without becoming grumpy.

Theresa then, when she invites Julia over the altar, looks back at the coffin and opens her mouth most of all.

"... aren't we talking about the fact that this temple has existed long before Mid-Eden was founded? That said, it doesn't seem like there's a labyrinth in the basement or some hidden transfer magic formation with treasures hidden beyond it..."

"If it's a country like Mid-Eden, it doesn't seem strange to have that much... By the way, before this country was founded and started to be used as a grave... what the hell was it for?

To such Yulia's words, Teresa began to utter a legend she had heard when she smiled niggardly.

"I hear it was an altar to unload the goddess, right? Now... maybe, really, maybe it was the way I told it?

"... right"

Julia gets a convincing look when she hears Teresa's words.

Apparently, both of them, behind their brains, had the face of a certain person floating around.

"With that said, it seems like Master Waltz comes here a lot too... Has Master Teresa seen it?

"I've seen it... No, with that being said, there's only one time. At that time, Waltz, not as a person, but as he was, would have knelt down here and done something. I thought you prayed for the dead..."

"Really...... As a matter of fact, I have also seen Master Waltz standing here in his manoeuvred armor on several occasions. Most of the time... Dear Waltz, even if you call, you don't have a response... What the hell are you doing?

"Come on. I don't even know the concubine. Next time, why don't you ask it out of your mind?

"But if you're just praying... isn't that rude? Call me while you're praying and why don't you reply...... oh my god, you're going to ask the obvious, right?

"Hmmm... if you ask me..."

"Then next time, let's gently observe from the shadows?

"Hmm. If we find out anything about each other, we'll report it properly, won't we?... of course, with the pictures?" Niyali

"... I understand" Niyali

And in front of the grave...... Teresa and Julia with a suspicious grin, far from the word 'sober'.

If the deceased kings could see the look of Thacubas with their daughter like that... perhaps they would have a grief-filled look...

Then shortly afterwards, Teresa realized.

"Whoa, it's been over 10 minutes. Concubine, it's time to go."

Then Julia, who was holding hands together on the altar, looked back toward Teresa and opened her mouth.

"Yes, Master Teresa? Everyone is saying... Isn't Master Teresa a little overzealous?

"... Miss Lucia told me too. Then it's all for today...... Mid-Eden is ushering in a new era. We've been working hard for this day! Then don't guide me. If it were tomorrow... no, after a few hours, the concubine wouldn't get lost, she was planning to break into the bed at a sharp angle?

"... Never just have an accident, right?

"Mm-hmm. Cole's riding with us, so there's no problem. Wouldn't Julia wish her success, too? When this is over... the concubine, with the Lord, should be able to fly."

"... ok"

"... Then you're coming!

And Theresa going down the altar.

Against her back like that, Julia had nothing more to say, just bowed her head and seemed to drop her back off.
