Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Gogo, goo, goo, goo!!

Until and even after entering the tunnel, the knights were just chasing the waltzes' carriage...... naturally, in havoc.

Those who bid farewell to those who beg for their lives and to the families who have left them in their homeland, before the roar sounds and the massive amount of dirt falling just filling their sights......

Most of them seemed to have reacted that way... some of them,

"... Groundwall!

"Jump into the hole!

"Evacuate! Evacuate!"

Some seemed to magically wear a hole in the ground and jump into it, or travel to the outside of the hole at once in a short time before the dirt and sand fell.

Apparently, the daunting daily training is making them acquire a way to survive from critical situations.

Thinking about their training menu like that, Atlas is in a position to coach their real boss, the hunter... but with that sight in sight, there's nothing unusual about it, commanding (?) I was taking.

"You guys, don't wander around! Stand by, everyone!"

"" "Hey...!

Under this circumstance, the knights seemed to be about to accidentally penetrate against the superiors who would issue directives of which they had no idea... on the other hand, could they afford to penetrate them because they had some anticipation of what would happen in the future, somewhere in their minds?

… and their anticipation becomes that of reality.

Soon the other side of the tunnel will be hidden in the dirt and invisible, etc...

Dogogogogogo................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

... the dust movement that was falling suddenly stopped.

Though it was predictable, the phenomenon seemed that the knights had suddenly lost their words.

For that reason, two clear voices of the girl echoed through the tunnel.

"Hey, Lucia? You can't use high-powered fire magic at close range, can you? It's gonna be like an oven in the tunnel, right?

"Ugh... yeah"

"... were you really trying to blow up every mountain of falling rock? With fire magic..."

"... Wu, wu? Sonna Cotonayo?"

"…… yes"

…………

I can tell from anyone, before a voice like Lucia's Bar Reading, for now, along with the rest of Waltz who appeases.

Later, work began on the removal of dirt and sand by the Waltz and Lucia sisters.

Dogowong!!

... It seems to be over.

Briefly explaining what the hell happened... the top half of the mountain is gone... if I explain that, will you understand the whole thing?

As a result, the knights, who can see two dazzling suns, before a beautiful V-shaped valley, forget to breathe and remain stiffened in flashes.

Otherwise, in the corner of the carriage, Null seemed to be shaking small with his knees... but the detailed cause is unknown.

Was even she, the famous Demon King, afraid, that she had done all that she could to taste it?

"What do we do with this? Sister......"

and Lucia, who with gravity-controlled magic detached the dirt and rock formations from the ground and actually melted them in 0.5 seconds to create about five square diced giant objects on one side - monoliths - asked her sister so.

"Ma, I can't help but have it now, so why don't you just leave it around there? Why don't you stop by town on your way home, and maybe we can keep it lined up on the outskirts of town? Don't you forget to take it home?

"Yeah. So, you're gonna line up near town, right?

With that said, Lucia seems to have jumped up with gravity-controlled magic and, with five giant dices, returned over the road she came from.

ragged......

…………

In contrast to a carriage running with a shitty sound...... the line was engulfed by silence as if it were a funeral.

They don't open their mouths at all, except for what everyone needs, and they don't raise any roots, not even those who were forced to walk early, because the demon they were taming escaped...

Everyone seemed to solemnly move their feet.

That doesn't mean anything, because someone was hurt or died.

Even if this is a different world, it is the result of seeing Lucia's magic, which can only be described as a paranormal phenomenon, at close range.

If there is one who can open his mouth in front of such an absolute force, it is…

"... something, the atmosphere of the knights, not bad?

Someone with more power than her, or...

"We're all so tired of walking... maybe"

who have the same power as her.

Or...

"... I want to be strong, too, as much as Lucia"

"No, no, over-specs are a good place too, right?!

"... you guys can afford it"

Those who yearn for that power...

"I knew, after a job, I'd confine myself to replenishing my energy with sushi" Kumogu

... it would be about the person.

Some of them seemed to include Julia, director of the Intelligence Agency.

"... Huh? Is that true?

From something I was hitting my ear, Julia shouts an unexpected voice back as to whether I could hear it even from something I shouldn't have listened to.

Apparently, she was having a radio conversation with someone.

…………

"Ah, yes. I'll tell you from mine. Now if you'll excuse me..."

That said, it appears that Julia pressed the final talk button on the radio and finished the conversation.

The radio Waltz made to try was supposed to be the same system as a general radio, switching between transmission and reception… The radio she has is more like a device that can be used like a mobile phone than a radio…

Perhaps Cortex made it, a new demonstrable communication device.

Waltz was less interested in that, but she never heard of it and asked about something else.

Rather than that, he had more concerns than that.

"... Hey, Julia. To see from the atmosphere… Also, something happened that wasn't busy, right?

"That's Waltz! You know very well." Chuckle.

"... so what happened? ♪ Slow down ♪

"... would you like to hear it?

"Yeah, I don't want to hear it. I hate to hear it... but I told you earlier that I would tell you... That's Cortex, right?

"Yes."

"Cortex, why didn't you tell me directly..."

With that said, Waltz worries about whether to use a wireless communication system to complain directly to Cortex.

But more than that, I seem to have decided that I have to ask from Julia...

"So, what are you talking about?

I urged Julia to continue the conversation.

If you don't ask, it'll be an extra hassle......

Maybe Waltz had such a hunch.

Then Julia finally started explaining the situation.

"Actually... I haven't been in touch with North Fortress in about a week"

"... Huh?

"Every time, every time, I'm sorry, but all the correspondents in our intelligence department don't work... What the hell is going on?

"Why... why not?... not what happened. In North Fortress......"

"I'm not sure either. It's just... the last day I contacted you, there was a sudden increase in the flow of hot springs gushing out of the town springs or something... You don't know what that means."

"Ha... Now, I can almost imagine..."

"What?"

Julia is bewildered by the word Waltz predicted.

On the other hand, Sylvia, the same intelligence agent as her, seems to have been able to see the situation.

"That exploding liquid..."

"Ah..."

With Sylvia's grunt, Julia seems to have guessed the situation as well.

In short, the liquid that explodes… that is, the aqueous solution of the nitro compound that springs up in North Fortress for some reason caused something wrong with North Fortress….

Ultimately, whether or not that's really what caused it is more difficult to say than nothing... all three of them seem to have had their heads because they couldn't get rid of the possibility that they might be blowing up from town to town.
