Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

8.2-18 Riverside Country 18

Look at that - Waltz regretted it.

I was wondering why you didn't check with them and invited them into the room.

And most importantly, I wonder why I dragged myself into the trouble I hated so much...

"... ha"

"Um... Master Waltz? What could this guy do?

"Sister...... All this time, I don't think we can do what we didn't have, right?

From the abdomen to the foot, Eve and Lucia turn a subtle look at the girl who was falling in the form of diving from head to ground because of her skirt, which does not deform as if it had hard structural material in it.

Against those two, Waltz speaks like this.

"... shall we run away"

Then,

"This is the first time I've been born to do this! I'll never forget it! I'll chase you to the end of the earth's fruit!

A girl who still couldn't get up on her own and remained on the ground raised her voice like that, rumbling with jitter.

Apparently, the waltzes, just now, can no longer escape......

In response to that statement,

"Besides, it's a native..."

"Hey, no?

"Yes?

and Lucia and Eve tilting their necks at the voices of Waltz, who make puzzling remarks in invisible conditions.

But that, too, is about a short time.

Having felt that she had no way of responding to her sister, Lucia seemed to have decided to make her stand, not so much about the girl who was there with a strange look on her face… but about her, who looked like only a princess, no matter where she came from.

… except.

Instead of reaching out and letting him stand, a gravity-controlled wizard...

As a result,

"Oh, this is helpful if you bother to give me a hand......?!

So much so that you realize that you were caused by an inexplicable force field, the princess seems to have solidified (?).

Against her like that, Lucia asks instead of her sister, who is being transparent.

"Well... this is not the room where Hoken (Extraterritorial) is allowed, so no one can complain if anything happens, because? I don't know... So... what did the princess come here for? ♪ Chuckle ♪

And Lucia throws the words of Waltz squeaking in her own ear, in a shabby way.

Against her like that...... the princess replies:

"Wow!

"" "What...?

"Oh, I made a mistake.... Ooh ho. Wonderful! What name magic was that earlier?! ♪ Shiny

…………

Three Lucians who lose their words as they were, either because of the princess's excessive adaptability.

As a result, Lucia, who was not so intensely acquainted, also perceived that she could not follow, and she did not reply, and seemed to decide to return the princess, magically and softly, outside the room.

Then,

"What, hey... wait!

And, bewildered, the princess begins to rumble.

But she was pushed out of the room, just as she was, without resisting Lucia's gravity-controlled magic...

However, when she walks out the door, the princess succeeds in asking such questions.

"Here, just this one, please answer! Teresa, where is Teresa-Heinrich Applefall now?

"Huh? Teresa? Teresa is sure... you're staying at the inn that Mr. Clark has prepared? Can you ask Mr. Clark for more information?

"... I get it. That's all you need to hear! I'll come visit you soon!

And the moment Lucia's magic protruded her completely into the hallway, the princess vanished somewhere with a fierce dash.

Probably go to Clark's and ask him where Teresa's Inn is and then head to that inn.

Well, it's unclear how someone in as many positions as the princess can get out of the royal castle...

Then after the princess walked away,

"... what, are you?

"Come on?"

And, show yourself, Waltz tilting his neck with Lucia.

Only Eve who stayed there...

"... you might not like it..."

Somehow, he didn't seem to care about the princess's attitude......

Meanwhile, in those days.

Guests were also coming to the brave men's room, next to their room.

Not "…………"

"............... Um, what can I do for you?

He is McNeil, the head of the Olija Central Knights, with a musty look on his face as he rinses his tea.

When the braves were unloading, he suddenly appeared, sipping the tea that had been served to the maid of honor, who was supposed to be a guest, without saying anything.

In response to him like that, the maid brave man who served tea from Mid-Eden he brought asked with a troubled look... in response to his inquiry like that,

Not "…………"

McNeil seemed to keep sipping his tea in silence as he deepened the wrinkles between his eyebrows.

For the record, this is not the first time he and the brave men have met.

Previously, the brave men came to terms with the Knights led by McNeil when they crusaded demons in this country.

In doing so, McNeil seemed grateful, not with a musty look, but with a bright full grin at the brave men, as he is now.

How could he, this time, come to this room with such an unfaithful look on his face?

There are probably about three reasons for that.

The first is what the brave men have done as part of Mid-Eden, a hostile country.

Originally, the Kingdom of Endelusia, to which the brave men were supposed to belong, had good relations with the Kingdom of Olija, so it was warmly welcomed when the brave men came to this country before.

But that, when Mid-Eden belongs... I guess that's not how it goes.

Go on, the second reason… seems to have been in the look of a brave man.

Well, if someone who knows what an old brave man looks like, has seen what he looks like now, is there a high probability that he will have the same look on his face as McNeil does today?

And the third reason...

"............... how come I have you here"

"Huh? Me? No, because there was only one man's room here..."

In that room, he insulted me until a few minutes ago... because there was an atlas in pain.

Not "…………"

And McNeil keeps sipping hot tea with a sharp gaze against Atlas and the brave......

The brave man who saw him like that... first decided to explain their circumstances rather than ask McNeil what the errand was about.

He thought that not answering the details of the errands… in other words, was a reversal of what we, the acquaintances, wanted to ask ourselves.

"Right...... Because this is how we met again, it would be better to briefly explain what happened."

And the brave started talking.

That I've put my people at risk because I don't have enough power.

That I participated in the launch of the Mid-Eden Republic with the waltzes I met then.

And to gain strength, to quit the brave...... to be under the waltz.

... Well, if we talked about it in the first place, the waltzes were the beginning and the culprits of all things... but the brave didn't seem to have anything to say about it.

McNeil finished sipping his last cup of tea when he heard that...... soothed his expression just a little before

"... give me a change"

He gently offered an empty cup of hot water and tea to the brave man in the maid...
