Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
9.1-17 Black Bug 17
"Hey, sister? From now on, I'd like to go to the royal castle where your sisters are and let the bugs go... okay?
"... sorry Lucia. Hey, I don't know what you're talking about... '
In the guest room of the Royal Castle, asking about the condition of Abraham, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a radio communication flew from Lucia. The content was too abrupt, and Waltz seemed confused, before doubting his ears.
"Release the bug... what?
"Uh hey... because Teresa wants to try the effects of the insect repellent she made at the liquor store, I got a bunch of bugs for my Yulia sisters. But I don't have a place in town to test insect repellents, and if it's a royal castle, I don't know if it's a good idea?
'Well... sure, if you were about to sprinkle it all over town, you might want to come to the royal castle and do it. I mean, what? Teresa. Could it be that you even made mosquito ray incense?
You said, "Hey, Teresa,” didn't you?
'That, insect repellent is insect repellent... isn't it the one for horticulture?
"Hmm, I'm not sure, so will you ask Teresa directly later?
'I don't know...... When are you coming?'
"Now!"
"Whoa. So, you're waiting, huh?
Waltz to respond like that and cut the communication. Sounds a lot like a proper conversation, but this is the usual interaction between these sisters.
Then Waltz turned his gaze against Catalina, who was there, as he turned his awareness from the wireless communication system built into himself to the outside world.
"How's it going? Is it going to heal?
"It's going to take a little longer"
"Yes...... Cause?"
"It feels like I looked it up and it seemed like it was a” poison ”that would work for me some time after I took it. I don't even know how or what I let him drink...... perhaps the purpose was to kill him at our place?
"I see...... So a soldier here suddenly pushed me..."
and waltz with his mouth, gazing towards the entrance to the room.
There's a water dragon holding down the door with his own spear as a support stick... She's...
"Open it!
"Open it! This is life from Master Vega!
"I can't open it! From here on out, the inviolable realm given by Master Messier! No one will let you go further than this! If you want to go through, push it through as hard as you can!!
--and it seemed that they were struggling to get the soldiers who had come untimely into the room.
"Just hold on a little longer, okay? Water Dragon."
"My pleasure!
A water dragon who can respond happily to Waltz and then invest in the hand that holds the door down.
Waltz, who saw how it was, turned his gaze back on Catalina, who was still continuing to treat Abraham.
"So, what's it like? If it's going to take a while, I think it's time to withdraw it from the scene?
"No... I'm here"
That's what Catalina said —— it was that moment.
"Ugh..."
Abraham, who had fallen without power, seems to have regained consciousness
Such he seemed, at first, blurred. He wasn't turning his head because of the poison, or because he was in the same condition as he was asleep.
But it's also a short time. Gradually his consciousness became clear--
"... Ha!? Wow, what am I?!
—— As if there was nothing, it just seemed to jump up as if you noticed you were sleeping.
"Huh? What did you do? You were just dying, weren't you?
"What...?!
"No, it's nothing, because we didn't try to get our hands on you, did we? Rather, as much as I helped you. Because what? Why don't you thank Catalina?
"Ha... Dear Catalina... Thank you for your help..."
"No."
With that said, Catalina shows humility to Abraham.
After that exchange, Waltz began to cut in on the subject.
"So you. Sounds like they were poisoned with something... any idea? Well, you don't have to ask me somehow... (Doesn't matter, to an example practitioner...)"
"Before I came here, I took pills that calmed my mind. Maybe it was replaced by poison..."
"(That was originally poison...)"
"(Is it psychotropic...... I see you didn't like Mr. Waltz...)"
Waltz and Catalina narrow their eyes, listening to Abraham and for different reasons. Such were they, at this moment, seemingly only slightly reconsidering. A tranquilizer that Abraham spoke of. I was wondering if that wasn't poison, a real drug, simply that Abraham had taken too much.
The two of us didn't know what type of tranquilizer he was talking about, but we couldn't say enough that depending on the type and dose, there wasn't a type of drug that would put a lot of strain on the heart.
But even as he was aware of the possibility, Waltz seemed to have decided to dare ask.
"It may be hard for you to overhear this... but there is no chance that the medicine, the example practitioner, has been replaced, is there?
”Practitioner” can't save Vega...... It was quite possible that the Abraham thing that I noticed was in the way for a ”practitioner” who was leaping in with some intent. It was also possible to say that if Abraham died at the Waltz, there would be little unnatural and very convenient because they could have killed him.
Both Waltz and Catalina thought that was most likely. They said they were used as political tools.
But Abraham's idea was the opposite of theirs.
"... that's never all. I can assure you."
"" What... "
"That one... that one may not be able to save Master Vega, but there is absolutely no such thing as saving us, killing us"
"What, even if I said so, you are now..."
And, Waltz tried to argue, that was when it happened.
"No, Lord! Sorry! Ya, tail (do) is the limit...... ah?!
Bakih...... DOGOOOOO!!
"It's open!
"Detain a (...) b (...) la (...) c (...) m (...)!
It appears that the double-headed spear used by the water dragon as a support stick, at its limit, came off the door. The spear, originally part of her tail, is absorbed as part of her body when she returns to her original dragon figure...... Fortunately, there is nothing like her spear breaking, and it seems that the door was opened recoil and she just rolled onto the spot. Well, it looks like the soldiers stepped on it, kicked it, and blew it toward the corner of the room.
As a result, Abraham was to be held by the soldiers. He doesn't have the appearance to resist. Looks like he was taken quietly by the soldiers.
Except they didn't take you without saying anything, leave these words on the spot.
"... Dear Waltz, Dear Catalina. Here, I bid you farewell. Later... please"
"No way, you... are you here knowing this is going to happen?!
Leave us a small grin and Abraham to be taken. In contrast to him, Waltz, though he threw such a question... It seems that he could not answer the question.
