Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Then the place moves to the dining room.

As the maid (?) Eve ruined Teresa's and Cortex's meals and ran away, Teresa and the others had to have lunch in the dining room.

Well, to be precise, other than that, it seemed to have a purpose...

And Teresa, who should be familiar with it, opens the door to a totally unrecognizable dining room and proceeds with her fearful feet into it.

It should be noted that Atlas at work did not appear to have been able to come, but behind her, there also appeared to be Cortex and Waltz.

"This is the... dining room...?

As soon as she saw the unusually large cafeteria dedicated to staff on the second floor of the royal castle, Teresa said such thoughts with a surprised look on her face.

That should be it too......

From the top, the Royal Castle, which was hexagonal in shape, consisted of six compartments divided like a hall cake cut and a total of seven compartments, including the central part, of which two adjacent compartments, with the exception of the central part, were made into one large room by removing the walls, where a dining room and kitchen were installed.

In short, the size of the dining room was so vast that it was not a ratio such as Teresa's own room.

Seeing the breadth of the dining room beyond her imagination made her confused.

Then Cortex, who watched Teresa react like that from behind, began to explain it as if she were going to tell someone who had never been here before.

"Yes. Your sister also eats here, but I answered your sister's request that people care about and made it wider than necessary. That way, the population density will drop."

"But... the truth is, even though it's supposed to be, everyone always stops by and takes a meal to collect... There must be plenty of places, why not?

and to Cortex's remarks, with his arms together, waltz leaning down his neck.

In fact, the royal castle clerks, who at first sat apart in pieces, when they found out that the waltzes had come, were trying to sit back down again, pretending not to notice it and where they kept a certain distance.

... However, only this time, when I took my seats, it seemed that everyone stood up suddenly and even some of them dropped the tray in their hands...

Such a reaction... apparently wasn't limited to the royal castle staff.

Gashan!

And suddenly, I heard a loud noise from the kitchen… apparently it was because someone had dropped it in an attempt to carry a large pot.

Against her like that...... Teresa, who is the cause of it all, asked.

"... what's wrong? Hunter Hall. Turn your gaze here as if to see such a monster..."

"So, so, so..."

"... hmm?

"So?!

And at first sight, the hunter in the chef, running away to the back of the kitchen.

Apparently, she mistook Teresa for something.

On the spot, in addition to her, there was another person who was reacting similarly.

…………

At the time Teresa and the others arrived, it was a flying dragon that was just about to climb onto a lunch meat chunk.

She, too, in dismay,

Gatan!

And when you get up, what did you do wrong?

Bong!

and returned to the original giant dragon figure,

Gun!

... I think I hit my head on the ceiling.

At that time, it seemed that those around her had fallen, in a way that could be pushed against the giant... but for some reason there was no confusion in their expression, but rather how could they have seemed happy...

Well, aside from that.

Fei Long, who had hit him hard in the head, said these words as he leaked something like a brace from his mouth, pointing a stunned gaze at Teresa, who held his own head in pain but was only less than a tenth to twentieth of his body.

"Oh, haunt?!

"Fei Long... Lord, I don't think there's a word for it..."

And Teresa pointing a frightened look at the flying dragon.

... and like I said, Teresa, besides having lunch, is safe with herself (?) I came to this dining room to let everyone know that.

But instead of giving everyone relief, she seemed to regret coming here because it took the form of planting confusion.

"Sorry...... Because of my concubine, we're all in a big mess..."

And as a soggy, Theresa shrivels her tail and beast ears.

Then the hunter, who looked at her like that as she pinned her cat ears out of the shadow of the kitchen counter, asked Teresa as she let out her fearful body slowly.

"... and Teresa? He was alive?

"No, you're not? The concubine is dead, isn't she?

"Ya, haunted after all?!

"You can be different there, tell me you're alive..."

All this time to the boulder, even the unreadable waltz of the air seemed to have a lot to say to Theresa, who answered honestly.

Then......

"... So Teresa is back?! ♪ Yuyusa ♪

In a crowd of royal castle staff who were able to focus on Teresa, in the dining room where she managed to regain her composure, the hunter asked with pleasure, shaking her shoulders.

"Ugh... didn't you come back to life?... maybe."

However, Teresa, who had not yet been able to sort out what had happened to her body, seemed unable to give a definite answer to the hunter's question.

As a result, Waltz, who had grasped the situation...... doesn't like the crowd and is now transparent, Cortex explains instead.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you take it that way"

and Cortex, affirming, without using the word 'revived'.

"Right. Good...... Teresa"

When he spoke like a hunter, he held Teresa in his arms.

Then the flying dragon, the original dragon figure, who was looking at him, opens its big mouth, letting him bring only a long neck and seriously observing Teresa's figure.

"Hmmm...... I have 3 tails and the same thing about smelling machines. Plus... it seems to have proper legs."

"Does the Lord judge whether a concubine is alive by the number of tails and legs attached?

"Mm-hmm. Most of the time, corpses and zombies don't have proper feet, arms, or tails. With that in mind, it's natural to check your limbs and tails, right?

"... Sure, if you're a zombie, it's not weird not to have about one tail or arm... why... It sounds like Fei Long said something completely different..."

Nevertheless, there was no difference as to whether the suspicion was clear that he was dead, so Teresa gave him a satisfied look at first.

Then she asked Fei Long, who was eating alone, about this.

"With that said... I feel like another dog scared of ghosts... Lord? Do you know where he went?

"Is that Master Eve? We usually eat here together... but today, I haven't seen it yet. Maybe something happened..."

"... well, I know what happened..."

And the maid who saw herself and ran away (?) Teresa remembers the girl from.

She also wanted to clear Eve's suspicions on this occasion, along with the Fei Long and the hunter, if possible… Apparently things are not going to be resolved so easily.
