Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

At the same time.

Now change your perspective into the town.

"Lucia. Where are you headed?

"Um, hey, where are you looking for Silanui? But we haven't decided where to look yet, have we?

"The only reason I'm free to move now is because I only have about the concubines"

"Hey, Lucia and Master Teresa? Maybe... but isn't Master Bear something you might not know about Master Silanui?

Beatrix, Lucia, Teresa and Eve were walking around town after a morning hunt, pinching a break.

In that, he leads by waving his yellow tail "Mr. Sika in the Mountains Gear (?) 'To Lucia, I asked where the beatrix, feather-woven from above the light mails, was headed......

At that time, she was worried that the response Lucia had spoken was being properly communicated to Beatrix, and asked Eve to confirm.

Beatrice then nods cocklessly and replies this way to Eve, who was tilting his neck.

"Are you all right? You're listening to me, aren't you? But could it have been Cortex-sama's enemies of love (rivals), strong enough to leave Cortex-sama's exclusive knight, with a ghost man's double sword?

"Ugh, yeah...... It seems to fit, it doesn't fit... (You may have heard it from Kol...)"

and mouth, Eve with a look that seems complicated.

As for her, she didn't seem convinced by Beatrice's words, but since Beatrice seemed to have been briefed on Syranui, she seems to have decided not to say anything more.

Instead, she felt like she would be in danger if she said something extra here.

Because in the words of Beatrice, the name 'Cortex' had appeared twice...

Well, leave that Eve thing alone...

Eve didn't seem to be the only one who wasn't satisfied with Beatrice's explanation.

The person, tilting his neck, now opened his mouth with such a look as he had heard for the first time, tilting his neck.

"Hmm, yeah. Col and Syranui were rivals in love, weren't they? I wonder who they both liked?

It is Lucia who had an interesting look on her two conversations.

That's what I heard her say.

♪ Biku ♪

Eve and Teresa reversed their whole body hair.

We both felt a danger to our lives at this moment, that's how it is.

Meanwhile, it seems that Beatrice, unaware of the circumstances, did not notice either the reaction of the two of them, and that mines were laid there......

He stomped on the switch that might end this world.

"Sure, we were talking about a knight named 'Atlas'... that? What's the matter, sir? Lucia?"

Beatrix frowns at Lucia for suddenly stopping the moment she uttered the word.

At that time, Teresa and Eve, who knew the circumstances, seemed to have begun to lag behind on the spot...

But it seems that they did not turn to Katastrov.

After a while, Lucia started talking as usual.

"... well. Kor and Shiranui like Atlas...... Rumor has it, I don't know, but I don't know if this is the first time I've heard it so clear... heh..." Gogogogogogogo

Apparently a far more terrible future awaited than Teresa and the others expected......

After saying those words, I saw Lucia's reaction when she started releasing a black aura from all over her body.

"" "Biku!!

and, all three, inflate the tail hair into the bread.

Apparently, Beatrice also finally realized that she had stepped on a mine she should not have stepped on.

"Hey, it's Bear!? Lord, what can you do for me!?

"And you didn't know!? I can't believe Lucia (...)..."

"This could be awkward, right? Dear Atlas, it could be erased!?

"What... is that all?

It's more like the hair on your body, but instead of actually turning your hair upside down, the three of you are a taffeta.

"Ohhhh ~? Aren't those concubines ~? It's an odd encounter ~? Here ~"

Now one of the people who should not have come to this scene appeared unexpectedly.

It is a Cortex that had been locally sourced in this town for not wearing cold gear, although it had been transferred using demonic props from Mid-Eden.

Then quickly, Lucia reacted to her, shuddering with a pull, inquiring about the situation.

"Hey, Cole. Cole, do you like Atlas?

And, ask straight, Lucia.

At first glance, the expression looked as usual, but the eyes never seemed to laugh.

Cortex then immediately realized how it was and replied with a soft grin as usual.

"... I won't give it to any of you (whatsoever). ~? Yes, to many," chuckles.

It's as if you took advantage of being Atlas' sister.

"Gu......!

Lucia couldn't say anything back, with a bitter look on her face, biting her lips off.

If Cortex had simply said, 'I like it ~' and so on, this would not have happened.

"I don't know what to say... this feeling... It's painful, but there's nothing I can do about it..."

"That's the heartache Lucia feels because she's grown ~? It's never a bad thing. I think you'll see what that pain means in time. Besides, right now (...) I'm not going to give anyone (...) about Atlas, but if time and article (...) and the woman I admitted (one) is the other, I don't have to rethink it ~? Right now, I'm not giving it to anyone, though. ~?

"... so... isn't it true that Cole likes Atlas?

"That's right ~... I'm going to tell you something a little hard, so listen to me"

Having said that, Cortex made sure Lucia's mind was ready before beginning to explain the relationship between herself and Atlas.

"Your brother and I, and now you're playing princess in the kingdom of Merclio, Strella. Your sister is like one in three. In the same period, Lucia also knows that it is a homunculus made for the same purpose ~? As a matter of fact, we, through the 'role' given to us by your sister, for example, when we try to get married or die, the other two consents are quite necessary. Being happy on your own or dying on your own is unacceptable...... That change, even if someone was destroyed, if the other two were functioning, there would be a backup there so I could undo it...... That's the complementary system your sister built into us to make sure you never crush a country called Mid-Eden again."

and Cortex explaining what relationship we are in.

The explanation, for Lucia, seems to have been shocking, and she seems to have lost her word.

Cortex then uttered a todome-like word for Lucia in a way.

"Well, it could have been a little difficult, so to sum it up briefly ~... 1/3 of Atlas is me, the other 1/3 is your Strella sister, and the remaining 1/3 is the personality of Atlas himself. That's the same for me ~... I mean, falling in love with your brother means falling in love with 1/3 of me ~?

"What..."

"Oh, sorry, I made a mistake ~. It's been 1/4 lately ~. Right? Concubine ~? (Not exactly a quarter, though. ~)"

"" "What...!?

"Yes, no, you haven't heard anything..."

"Because ~... aren't you always in the fast thinking space, having a 'conference' ~? Don't you know how that works, concubine ~? That's not communicating fast with each other, it's just talking to our consciousness in the head of the concubine herself from the start ~? Well, we have minimal communication for synchronization. ~?

"And you didn't know..."

"So ~... Bear? If you want to marry a concubine, it has to be after you convince them about us ~?

"What... what!? [incomprehensible]

You didn't think I was going to jump to you, Beatrice with your eyes round and behind you.

Needless to say, Lucia and Teresa seemed the same......

All three of them seemed to have a startling look on their faces.

Except for Eve.

"(I mean... that Master Atlas always tries to stroke Eve's head because of Master Cole, Master Teresa, the... st somehow? That might be annoying......)"

Disasters that strike themselves (?) It seemed to bother my head about the cause.

Needless to say, it is Atlas himself who strokes her head.

Thus, the truth about the homunculus - and hence the Lucians who knew the back of Mid-Eden - was no longer talking about much of the confusion, where to look for the footsteps of Syranui......
