Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

After hanging the healing magic on the Sacubas that attacked me.

Waltz, who never spoke to them, and left them on the spot.

Then they came to a certain place.

It is Kipka, a small village where Alisa, the Sacubus girl she picked up on the road, lives alone.

"Here it is!

"Village... Village hey..."

Waltz looks delicate when he sees how it is.

The village there was in a way that could never be described as wealthy, not so large, and was a small settlement to the extent that a few houses dotted.

Where the town of Ark in Mid-Eden was still a 'village', roughly 1/10 the size, etc.?

"I'm sorry about something...... I brought you to such a weird place..."

"No... I'm sorry about this... I can't tell you what I think is right..."

and Alisa and Waltz, both of them, exchanging words of apology with each other with a look of sorry.

Afterwards, Waltz started walking into the village.

The carriages they have taken so far have not come here now.

Sometimes the village (?) was as small as I thought, stopping along the street near the village.

It should be noted that one line is planned to do today's camp at that location.

There were no lodgings in the village, and the landlord was absent, so we couldn't use the villages instead of the lodging.

Especially if the landlords were there, it's impossible to have all the lines parked in the village that aren't even sure how many there are.

Well, aside from that.

"(Hmm. Winter, but if it's about this temperature, vegetables, you grow)"

and waltz observing the fields that were in the village and the vegetables that were growing there.

As Null had previously spoken, the region, influenced by the warm air flowing in from the neighbouring kingdom of Alborosa, did not snow even in winter and had a relatively warm climate.

To cite a specific number, even the lowest temperatures in winter are around 3 degrees Celsius.

For that reason, the fields were growing plants like cabbage, which seemed to be harvestable even in winter.

Perhaps the inhabitants who live in the village make a living by selling this vegetable to caravans and such.

See how it goes, Waltz, uh, mouths it like this.

"It's not too bad in the sun, I wish I could grow a greenhouse..."

Listening to the words, Alisa, who was following me from behind the waltz, asked in wonder.

"Oh, my God."

Sometimes agricultural technology was underdeveloped in this world, and apparently she didn't know about the existence of greenhouses.

Alternatively, the technology of greenhouse cultivation may have been developed somewhere, but I guess that information will not come to villages, like the village of Kipka, which are situated on the edge of the border where it is not an exaggeration to say so.

In response to that Alisa question, it was Julia who had followed her from behind.

"Greenhouse cultivation is a method of farming that uses materials that do not block sunlight like clear glass to create rooms and grow plants in them. For example... in winter, when you're in the house without heating up, it might be really cold, but it's warmer than outside, right? That's how you make things like home for plants and grow vegetables in them. That way, even in winter, the summer vegetables will grow."

Listen to that.

"... Um... Could it be that you two were... Bachelors?

And, Alisa, who asks questions.

Apparently, to her, that explanation of Julia was a story that was in a place beyond her imagination.

Julia then attempts to answer the question without hesitation, but Waltz, who sees it, shakes her head and denies it before Julia opens her mouth.

"Yeah. You're not, are you?

"So............... eh?

"No, it's true that I, Cortex, may be teaching you a lot, but it's nothing. Neither I, nor that girl, got a degree. Besides, we didn't discover anything new on our own simply because we have knowledge, so it's a mistake to name a bachelor. Well, if you're learning from us and you're trying to develop ahead of us or Catalina... maybe you could name your bachelor?

"Is that... humble?

"Yeah. I mean it."

Listen to Waltz.

"... Alisa. Apparently we're not bachelors."

and Julia, who denies the last minute because of how she changed her opinion.

Listening to her words like that, Alisa said this to the two of them, with a look that seemed difficult.

"But isn't it like forbidden magic that no one knows about the knowledge to make summer vegetables in winter? I'm not sure I'm retarded, but I've never even heard of summer vegetables selling at this time of year... And... and so was what I just did. I don't think it's normal for people to take out so many soldiers just by themselves. Besides, they seem to be able to follow the dragons... Mr. Yulia! Who are you!?

"(Huh? What about me?)"

and waltz tilting his neck inside as questions flew through about himself to Julia.

On the other hand.

In response to that question, Julia answered this briefly, with her hands on her chin, with a seemingly difficult look on her face.

"Who am I? … Sacubus."

"What..."

"Let's ask Alisa the opposite question, then. Who is Alisa?

"What...?

No way, on the contrary, you didn't expect a question to fly in from Julia, Alisa, who seemed confused by that response.

However, for Julia, who inquired about it, it seemed that Alisa's reaction was within the assumptions.

"... Thacubus from this village. Estimated age 15 years. The family composition totals three parents and a brother. Currently living alone due to circumstances.... explaining who Alisa is makes it look like that, doesn't it?

"Yes......"

"I can explain that the same way.... Sacubas from this region. Age...... it's a secret. Family composition, just two parents. Master Waltz and Engagement K"

"Oops. How can you be so confused that you don't spill information?

"... and who I am, I can explain, is Alisa convinced to hear that? I am merely a sacubus. Nothing else. Well, if you insist..."

And, just for a little while...

"... so much so that Thakubus, who was driven out of the land because he was conscripted, unhelpful, and branded..."

So I said, with a lonely look on my face somewhere, Julia lays her eyes down.

After all, until the end, Julia never revealed who she was, but her words seemed, to Alisa, to be a satisfactory explanation enough.

Alisa didn't say her thoughts in person, but I'd say the look on her face is proof of it.
