Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

At night, the members align themselves again in the dining room of the Inn.

There seemed to be so much different air there that even waltz that the air was supposed to be unreadable could feel it.

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

"... hey, Eve? You're the only one... who's been acting with Lucia and the others, right? Don't you know why everyone's gettin 'all gessy and why?

"Well, maybe it's because I found out why Atlas stroked Eve's head."

"... what?

Asked about the circumstances, Waltz seemed to have unnecessarily bothered his mind when he heard Eve's such puzzling response.

Then.

Cortex, which was the underlying cause that created that air, began to explain the current situation.

"Actually, I told Lucia and I about my relationship with Atlas and your sister Strella. Ladies and gentlemen, that seemed like a shock, not since before noon - it's always been like this. And for once, I explained it to Eve properly, too ~? I don't think I understood. ~"

"Uh... didn't I tell you? Well, that's fine."

"But I didn't say anything about (...) this (...) and (...) in Atlas ~?

"About that? Is something wrong?

"... If your sister has forgotten, that's fine..."

Cortex returns to the hunter-made meal with just a little sogginess.

Apparently, as for her, she wanted Waltz to remember a certain "Atlas Secret".

"What the...?

Waltz looking completely oblivious, even though he says he's the one who made the Atlas.

By the way, Catalina, the other producer, was also strangled.

It can be something she hasn't been informed of in the first place.

Then immediately, instead of a corner of my head, I completely erased it from my memory, and when Waltz returned to his meal.

Theresa, with a gessy look on her face like that, inadvertently asked about this.

"Wow, waltz...... I don't know where the concubine is..."

"Huh? ♪ Momogu ♪

"As far as Cole's story is concerned, this spirit of concubine is made of Cole, Atlas and Strella, in addition to concubines... Then this thought of the concubine, who is now thinking about the fox, where the hell do we come from and go..."

"At four or six, if you can think of a fox, isn't that good enough? Maybe nobody thinks about foxes except you... I mean, it's not like we're all mixed up, is it? Explain it properly around there, right? Cortex."

"No, I explained it right ~? I've got copies of us in my head, and I'm talking to them when I'm in a meeting to cut down on communication bandwidth. But I think you've got something wrong ~... I can't help it"

Cortex said so with a slight grin, looking straight at Teresa.

And in a way, Teresa uttered that word, which could be called a magical spell.

"Is it good ~? Concubine ~. Nothing, the backup in concubine is not limited to the data of our three homunculus ~? Backups exist for everyone who attends meetings. Do you know what this means ~?

"Mm? I have a backup for everyone attending the meeting...... then?

"Yep. There's, of course, your sister's thought data."

Gatan!

"What?!

Teresa gets a stunned look when Cortex says she hasn't finished talking, and suddenly rises to the spot and starts holding her head down with both hands.

Then she began to whine these words with a kind of look that should never be shown to others.

"In the concubine, waltz..." heh.

Look at that...

"Ahhh...... Teresa, you can't go to your wife anymore..."

"Isn't that something good ~? It didn't even start now ~"

and Teresa broke (?) waltz and cortex convinced that.

Though, it didn't make any difference that Teresa brought it back...

Looks like they both decided to leave her alone.

Except for the brakes, I think I decided to hang them.

"Well, worst of all, Beatrice should get it for you, so there won't be a problem"

"?!"

"?!"

In that one word, almost 180 degrees, Theresa and Beatrice come up with a different look.

Thus, their mood is safe until the state before Cortex exposed their circumstances (?) I went back.

◇

Well, aside from that.

Above all, the problem is Lucia.

"(What am I going to do? You have no idea because you're in an unrelated place like love or love...... I'm not a creature in the first place... Well, I'm not gonna deny it, am I?

Waltz, who thinly knew that Lucia had a crush on Atlas as her sister, seemed to have no idea how her sister, who had heard about Cortex, perceived it and what she thought.

And while the waltz frowned, he scraped the dessert ice cream with a little spoon and carried it to his mouth.

"You don't look well, do you? Lucia."

A hunter coming from the kitchen lowered his back to his sister, who was still thinking.

And the hunter spoke of the great ice parfait, offering it softly beside Lucia.

"When you're in a mood and you can't help it, you're just gonna eat something sweet, okay? Eat something sweet and you'll be happy, man!

Lucia, on the other hand, has a Kyotong look on her face.

Then he smiled bitterly and replied to the hunter:

"Did I look unwell?

"Right...... I mean, aren't you feeling well, or was it like you were thinking about it?

"Was it..."

"Is there something troubling you, too?

"Hmm, troubles... sorting out feelings..."

"Oh well..."

When you hit the gavel so short, you cut off the ice cream from the parfait with a small teaspoon and...

"See, Lucia?

and a hunter who can get close to Lucia's mouth.

"Huh?"

"Fine, fine."

"Uh... ahem."

"What do you say?

"What...?! Shh, it's so sweet and... sour..."

"Right? It's a special effect that resets my over-thought head!

"Special effects……………"

That's what I said, now with my own hands, Lucia carrying the parfait to my mouth.

Then, take one bite (one bite), two bites (fudge) and ice cream to the mouth (dunk)...

Lucia laughed as she usually does, then said:

"Thank you for your concern, hunter"

"Well, sometimes it's good to worry. That's human proof of life!

"Really..."

"Oh, yeah, yeah. Let's give Lucia one piece of advice.

…………

"If you worry too much, you'll have a deep wrinkle between your eyebrows and you won't be able to take it off, so be careful, okay?... Like Julia." Boo.

Almost everyone on the spot, gazing at Julia's face with their fingers between their eyebrows at that moment.

Meanwhile, when Julia took the hand mirror out of the item box, she pointed its gaze at the other side of the mirror, holding it with her trembling hand.

"Nah, I'm kidding!

"Hey, what are you saying?! Mr. Hunter! I care, so don't say anything horrible!

Speak so, with outraged Julia...

And seeing her react like that, Lucia and the others with a full grin.

The problem didn't solve anything, but at least, before and after this meal started, Lucia's feelings seemed to have changed dramatically.
