Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Pichon... Pichon... Pichon...

Water was constantly dripping from the dark passage ceiling beneath the royal castle.

To be more precise, it should be said that water had been stained from everywhere, such as cracks and gaps in the walls.

Rarely in the region, there was heavy rain outside, and rainwater permeated the ground seems to be pouring into the underground.

Nevertheless, there were times when the castle was like a high cliff surrounding a town, or the water seemed good, and there seemed to be nothing like stormwater accumulating and submerging.

"I was wondering if this tunnel would suddenly collapse?

"You think you're gonna be okay? Seems like a long time old make, and maybe it's been constantly in the same heavy rain before? I'm sure."

"Right...... At least you've never heard of this tunnel breaking down since I was born, have you?

"Hmm, that was good.... Bye, Bear. Come on, can't you just leave me?

"Huh? Did I say something? ♪ Chuckle ♪

"Ha............" Slow down.

And, last night, Lucia, Waltz, Teresa, and Beatrice have such conversations while walking down the basement that leads to the barn, which I just visited.

It should be noted that only Lucia had been here for the first time, or she seemed to have skipped her gaze frequently toward the surrounding sights.

Such were they walking here to see the "Egg of the Demon King" that they were imprisoned in the basement of a crumbling church.

Beatrice said the basement of this royal castle also leads to the basement of the church, and the waltzes came here in a way that she knows the way.

"What is' The Demon King's Egg '... in what shape?

"I knew it...... not egg-shaped eggs like we ate this morning?

"Is it that small?

"I don't know. Out of the way... as much as people can get in, it can be a fat egg."

"Hmm. If that's the case, it might be hard to eat."

"" What... "

and, even in the dark passage, always looks bright on the street (?), the waltzes exchanging words.

Beatrix, on the other hand,

"Demon King... are you Demon King... That's a little scary..."

Couldn't go about the Waltz conversation, and he seemed to bewildered by the name of Demon King.

Then Lucia, who was walking behind her, asked, tilting her neck.

"Bear...... after all, are you afraid of the Demon King?

"Oh, yeah... I'm scared. I can't imagine what a horrible monster it is..."

"Hmmm...... (Oh well. Speaking of which, Bear, you haven't met Yuki and the others yet)"

and Lucia with a convincing look.

But she doesn't mention Yuki and the others on the spot...

Apparently Lucia, in front of them, decided to explain.

Lucia was there, saying… Now Beatrice asked Lucia the other way.

"Lucia, aren't you afraid of the Demon King?

"Hmm... wouldn't you be scared if you knew the Demon King? But if you're the Demon King I've never seen... hey, are you scared?

"I know... demon king...?

"... is it true?

"I wonder what you're trying to say? Teresa?"

"... hey, it's nothing..."

And, amiable (?) to say that Lucia and the others are talking...

…… It's over, isn't it? "

Waltz, on the other side of the dark, apparently found a wall like a trail, stopping inadvertently with those words in his mouth.

Then Beatrice finally walks away from Teresa's arm and towards the end of the wall…

"Actually, this is a hidden door?

That's what I said, in the hole that was in the nearby wall, when I put my hand in the unmade...

Gacon......

I think I pulled what looked like a lever behind it.

At that moment,

Zabaaaa!!

And the hidden walls that were at the end of the trail opened, and massive amounts of water poured into the waltzes.

Apparently, unlike the passage on the royal castle side, the passage on the church side was poorly drained and accumulated a considerable amount of rainwater.

Look at that sight...

"... boots, no?

"No, even boots get wet, right?

"It's hard to float just a little bit..."

"I wish you had my boots..."

The four of them, though coming up with a slight, troublesome look... they came this far and wondered if it would be a good idea to turn back, and they seem to have decided to keep going.

"... that's amazing..."

"This is my husband's power," Zabah. "What!?

"Oh, I'm sorry? My hand slipped?

"Teresa... because you say weird things..."

Four people float over the water that had accumulated as far as their knees, after entering the church-side underground tunnel, by waltz's gravitational control system.

At that time, Teresa seemed to have fallen into the water... well, everyday.

Then Teresa is pulled up to the water and she starts traveling again, and then she mouths it like this with an anxious look on the view Lucia can see.

"If" The Demon King's Egg "were... if it was Silanui, would it be okay to get caught in a place with so much water?

"Heh... Heck shh! Mmm........................ and Lord Silanui.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Well, it's okay. Because this water is not cold. But the more I think about it, the more I think about it... the more I don't feel like talking about Lord Silanui and this" Demon King's Egg "thing..."

"The first time you said it might be Syranui, it was Teresa...... But if you think there's a report that Syranui might be coming to this town... in time, isn't it just right?

"Mm-hmm. Because the concubine thought so, I thought," The Demon King's Egg "might be a hidden word referring to Lord Silanui. I don't care what you think, Lord Silanui doesn't seem to have anything to do with the letter" Ma "of the Demon King."

"Hmmm...... (if you say so, even Yuki, doesn't look like a demon king at all......)"

and Lucia and Teresa exchange views on "The Demon King's Egg".

Otherwise, Beatrice didn't seem to understand the content of the conversation between the two, as he didn't even know about Silanui, rather than the Demon King.

Waltz, on the other hand, who understood the circumstances, seemed to have something on his mind and began to say this.

"I knew...... should we stop going?

To that word,

"" "What..." "

And three people who looked suspicious of their ears.

Suddenly I have no idea what Waltz is going to say... that's how it is.

In contrast, Waltz began to talk with a difficult look on his face about why he said that, without breaking the look that seemed difficult.

"No, we're not talking about not wanting to go or not going, are we? You might want to stop going with the four of us here right now, that's the story. If you're just going to raise a hypothesis about the demon king's eggs, you can think of all kinds of possibilities... but in any case, I don't think it's going to turn out very well..."

"Hmmm... I mean, if the captured 'Demon King's Egg' wasn't Lord Silanui, it would be a hassle... even if Lord Silanui was imprisoned..."

"Whoa, Teresa? You don't have to say anything more, do you?

"Ugh, um..."

Then Teresa turns around Lucia.

There's Lucia tilting her neck like she doesn't know what the two of them are talking about...

Having seen that reaction, Teresa seems to have decided to agree with Waltz's words.

But... the hour is already late.

Beatrix, who was leading the way, stops accidentally...

"... right here."

That said, in front of one cage that was built directly in the basement, it stopped.

And she looked in the cage... and raised her voice.

"People are being held captive, right?!

…………

Waltz and Teresa hear the words and get a look that seems heartfelt complicated.

But you can't even pretend you didn't ask......

It seems that they never decided to peek into the cage.

Then there was no sign of Silanui as they had thought.

But in the cage... there seemed to be more troublesome people than that.

That, too, is the person closest to the worst......

"Little null... not someone from Yuki B to E..."

As Waltz said, on a stiff bed that would have been made of scraped rocks, leaned down with her knees in her arms, and a grunting little null...... Originally, there was the figure of her sister.

She's only about as tall as Eve is now when she touches hot objects or consumes magic...

That appearance was more apt to say, the assaulted slave girl, than the 'demon king's egg'.

As for what happened to her...... it will no longer be necessary to say.

But above all, the problem would be... that she's here.

Why is one of my sisters, who would be ruling instead Boreas, where Null has come out?

And that's what the hell it means.

At the very least, things are going on beyond normal boundaries, which seems unmistakable......
