Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... Hey, Eve. Could it be you... you haven't had a sore shoulder or neck lately?

"What..."

"For example, it can get weirdly heavy or vice versa lighter... That repeats itself a few times in the day...... isn't that what it looks like?

"Wah, Master Waltz, do you understand?

"Yeah, you know better than that, don't you?

"Duh, why?

"Because on your shoulder, the ghost of Cortex possesses"

At that moment,

…………

Gashan!!

Eve looking so wolfy that she dropped the plate she had in her hand.

I hate ghosts (?) For her, it seems Waltz's words sounded horrible...

Was it unexpected how she reacted like that, Waltz mouthed this question as he recovered the dish that Eve had cracked using a gravity control system.

"... you don't like Cortex that much?

In response to that inquiry, Eve replies with a crying look on her face.

"Maybe you're not very good at Kohl, are you? But somehow, when I hear of Master Cole's ghost... it's not because Eve may not be afraid of ghosts!

And, Eve suddenly changes her expression and makes an appeal that she's not afraid of.

Waltz then spoke this way, slightly above Eve's head.

"I hear you mean..." Cortex. "

At that moment,

'Really? Really? Eve, you're not afraid of ghosts ~.... flattery ~'

Out of nowhere, Cortex's voice flies.

Of course where it came from, Macrophage Chan 1, who was over Eve's head (?) but there is no reason for Eve to know that it exists...

She opened her eyes to the point where she was rounded, and gave a bright blue look...... desperately began to look for Cortex.

Was that figure too pitiful?

"Hey, calm down, Eve. Because it's not a ghost!

and waltz mouthing the words of followup.

But that word never reaches Eve's ear......

When she crouched on the spot, she seemed to finally cry out......

'I'm sorry...... I'm in good shape ~......'

"Really, I'm sorry...... I didn't think I was that scared of ghosts..."

Apologize not only for the badly ridden Cortex, but also for the waltz involved in it......

After explaining how Eve's head got heavier and I could hear Cortex even more.

Eve finally calmed down, but still in the worst mood,

"Damn, this could be a dream... Tonight, if you make stains on the futon, you might not even know... Gu Gu"

I leaked a literal cry against both of them.

Such a fold, to 2 +1 people, comes the hunter.

"What's up? Eve, if you're crying, you're ruining my lady?

"Mr. Hunter...... Mr. Cole and Mr. Waltz may have jerked off..."

"Right...... Then let's raise this candy to Eve."

That's what the hunter said, and when he took about three small bags out of the bag that was on his hips, he tried to offer it to Eve.

Then Eve...

"Yi, Eve, maybe it's not a child. Because what!

and raise a repulsive voice...... that's an older hunter there.

When she opened one of the bags and took the red, little candy out of it, she threw it into her mouth and then said this.

"Actually, when there's still something sad going on, this is how I eat candy. Eating sweets makes me feel happy. Sad things blow up, too, that's what I feel. Adults... I think that's how you talk about people who know how to calm their minds down. Well, whether I'm an adult or not is another story."

and a hunter who talks with a grin.

Hear that word,

"... well, one, maybe I'll have it"

When Eve answered so, she received one package from the hunter's hand and threw the yellow candy that was in it into her mouth.

… at that moment,

"... sooo!

And, keep your mouth shut, Eve with a surprising look on her face.

"Oh...... that might be a little sour because it's a candy made from boiled acid lemon"

"Shh, it could be pretty sour, not a little bit?!... but"

And Eve, grinning back at the hunter,

"It could be delicious!

I honestly said that sentiment.

"No, you can't." Waltz and Cortex. If you do something that makes younger Eve look like a jerk... "

"Yes... I'm reflecting..."

"I'll figure out how to do it next time......"

"Less, like, don't make me cry?

A hunter who stabs nails against two after Eve voluntarily returns to dishwashing work.

But instead of complaining forever, she threw this kind of question at Cortex when she immediately changed the subject.

"So... what are we gonna do tomorrow? I don't care what you think if Zorozolo and our men walk up to the border..."

Then Cortex, who had stuck around until earlier, returns to his usual attitude and responds.

'That's already, please, with a forcible breakthrough. Screw it with force, curse it with words, fall into a trap, whatever, so please head to the capital of Olija anyway'

"You know, Cortex...... As I said earlier, there is an adult response..."

and a hunter holding his head with a frightened look on his face.

The other person is a country, not like dealing with a child... that's what she seemed to want to say.

But Cortex, who heard it, speaks of this.

"Yeah, I know ~? It's an adult response, isn't it? So the adult response of silencing the other country by showing an overwhelming difference in power...... no, I just want you to respond as a big country ~? Olija is one of a number of neighbouring countries that still persists in its hostile position towards Mid-Eden. There's no way I'm going to let them keep babbling like this more than North Fortress is gone... you know that ~? Hey, sister?

"Ugh, yeah... right..."

"I mean... until North Fortress fights something out, so we don't develop into big fights... the words are bad, but we go threatening, right?

'Yes, by and large, you're right. At first glance alone, it may seem like a barren action, but if there could be a massive battle between the two countries, I think it would be worth showing off the difference in power to prevent it. In that case, you just have to take the time to heal the wounds that have been made between the country and the country ~. Even though, it's scratchy, and it won't be a big deal'

Cortex delimits the description by saying so.

In light of the language of the modern world, is it deterrent, or something like that?

The hunter, who seemed to understand what it meant, went on to throw another question.

"Well, going to the capital of Olija means... why what? Are you going to go show them that you can attack and destroy them at any time?

'There's that too ~... let's keep it a secret yet for more stories'

"... I don't have a busy feeling..."

And, to Cortex's words, waltz to say such thoughts.

But by contrast, no response will come back from Cortex......

Waltz seems to have had his head in anticipation of an unfolding that isn't even busy.

… by the way.

"So this is my last question............... where's the border?

"... zzz"

…………

The hunter ended by throwing the most important question...... somehow Cortex fell asleep in the middle of a conversation (?) It seems.

Well, you're not actually supposed to be asleep, so guess from there... she wasn't even supposed to be at the top of this country, apparently, figuring out the exact location of the border.
