Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

... and at dinner.

On the simplified desk next to the carriage, as usual, hunter-made meals were arranged in a narrow line.

But one line, even before that...

"" ".................." "kachakacha

What a painful air it seemed.

If no one spoke a word, but kept moving the knife, fork and chopsticks silently, could you guess the atmosphere that was standing there?

What was the cause of this?

Of course, it's not because the food made by the hunter wasn't tasty.

Her cooking seemed to fill everyone's hearts even today.

The cause was on two people, Lucia and Teresa.

"........................ (Lucia...... When I realized it, you went a long way...)"

".................. (How did you make Inari sushi when neither fried nor tofu was distributed to the market?

".................. (Yeah! After all, the hunter's food, it's delicious. But... Teresa made Inari sushi too, I'd love to have it again...)"

".................. (You're concerned about Teresa and Lucia getting along... I'm sure your favorite foods are affecting this...... But what the hell is Theresa's thing? As long as I know that, so do I... hehe... hehe...)"

"............ (this dinner...... you might have helped Teresa make it... Are you okay...... It may be delicious, but the ingredients that cause addiction, they may not be in it...?

".................. (If I don't get my elder 'word' back to Master Teresa, there's going to be a problem with the administration of this town... this air, it's very hard to cut out...)"

".................. (isn't this the meat of a dragon?

"..................... (Marie, you look cute today...)"

".................. (Lucia...... for once, it looks the same as usual, but I can't believe you don't need sushi...... really, are you okay?

"... (I hear there is such a horrible technique in the world of grabbing a stomach... Did Lord Lucia tell Theresa that she had the surgery? Ugh, horrible......)"

and each, thinking about different things, eating a meal in silence together.

In the meantime.

This is what Theresa said to her companions who were on the spot when she noticed an indescribable gaze that few of them would turn to herself with a somewhat sorry look on her face.

"... Sometimes I feel like a sharp glance coming from everyone... concubine, have you done something?... No? Bear? Your Lord is not contained there."

and toward herself, to Beatrice flying a hot gaze of unincorporated ingredients, Theresa stabbing the nail.

The first person to respond to her inquiry like that was the hunter who had looked all the way around the market that was in the town of Zapato to buy ingredients for dinner.

"Hey, Teresa? How did Teresa make Inari sushi? As Lucia said, even if we go to the market, we don't have fried tofu... So, according to the wind rumors I've heard... Teresa used something like alchemy to make Inari sushi from stone... is that true?

"I can clearly imagine who said that... there are only two kinds of magic that concubines can use, so I didn't do anything big like alchemy. Did the concubine simply work with the Ladies Lucia to make magnesium chloride - in other words, the source of the scratches? I used it to make tofu, fried it, and made sushi. There's no seeds, no tricks, is there? (No, there is, should I say?

That explains Theresa.

"Er... I mean... alchemy"

A hunter who short-circuits his thoughts because he didn't know what magnesium chloride was.

Then.

Listening to the story, Waltz, who was able to grasp the situation, said this to Teresa with a frightened look on his face.

"The influence of Cortex's knowledge…"

Theresa, in contrast, responds with a gesture of contemplation.

"I can't tell if Cole's knowledge is true of the concubine who is a party... because the concubine is originally like a fox in this world, she probably doesn't have the scientific knowledge."

"The stones rolling around there...... I mean, making niggers out of ore, you might say science for sure... but I made them out of knowledge that's not in this world, so isn't it a good level to say alchemy for the most part? There is also the idea that 'chemistry' is on the extension of alchemy..."

"Well, Miss Lucia and Bear helped me, so besides science, magic is probably included... When I think about it, I don't even feel like it was alchemy... But I think it's too exaggerated to make sushi out of stone.... is that Bear?

and Teresa pointing the water at the roots and thinkers who circulated the rumors.

In contrast, Beatrice said this with a small grin.

"As Teresa said, the percentage of stones that became ingredients could have been very small? But that's not a big deal, is it? The fact that I created something edible out of stones that I'm not supposed to be able to eat is to me… no, it's amazing to all of you, and before that surprise, it was nothing but a slight presence, such as other ingredients. In fact, what I said to you was not 'I created Inari sushi from stone', but the phrase 'I created Inari sushi material (...) fee (...) from stone'... Hey, Lucia?

"... hmm? Sushi?"

…………

"... Well, I don't even know what the Lord has to say. Besides, I guess I got a guess from everyone's reaction when I heard the current story. Then let me say it again in order to solve the misunderstanding. The concubine is from stone to Inari Shou s"

"Sushi... I'd love to eat again... Sushi made by Teresa from 'Iron'......"

…………

"... eh? Precisely, can I just say I made it from" iron, "not from" stone "? Then we'll need a nuclear conversion, so I think it'll be a real alchemy..."

"I don't know if I can do this anymore..."

In Lucia's word, Teresa accidentally sighs loudly at the current situation where the story that was about to come together fell out of her own hands and returned to shaking it out.

Nevertheless, I haven't completely gone back to shaking it out......

My colleagues, starting with Waltz, seemed somewhat relieved by Lucia's remarks and Theresa's reaction.

That is, Lucia had not gone crazy, she was the same as usual.

Well, only Lucia herself, who caused the confusion...

…………

I couldn't seem to grasp the situation until the end, so I thought I'd put my neck around it.
