Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Change your perspective a little from the waltz......

Outside the world tree, Yuki, who was investigating the cracks in the tree, had come with us all as one of the brave party (tentative) to near the world tree.

"Uh... you do seem to have a big crack..."

"Yuki, do you see a crack?

"Yep. I'm not sure why, but since I became this body, things have become a lot more convenient, even in the dark, with a good view. Sage doesn't... don't you see?

"Yep. I didn't have to know it back in the day, and lately, let's... No, it's nothing..."

A wise man who remembers the age of the woman in front of him and shuts her mouth, trying to say perhaps old (...) eyes or old (...) conversion. Apparently he could not speak the words "old” before Yuki, over 250 years of age. Anyway, his age, compared to Yuki's, is just like that of a child...

"Didn't you say anything now?

"No, it's really nothing. Never mind."

The wise man seems to have desperately tried to mislead his words. Is that the result of his considerable way of treating the lady, or his earlier observation that he had just gained his whole life in nine deaths by avoiding dancing with Yuki, but was again in danger of desperation...

Then Sage, changing the subject, started talking.

"By the way, what's it like? Yuki. That, crack in the world tree... is it still a pretty big crack?

"Right...... it looks small, but given the scale of the world tree itself...... perhaps there are cracks in it that are as easy as putting it in if you're about a person, up to about half the tree, etc?

"That's crazy...... If you are stirred by a strong breeze, you may get an even bigger crack and break completely...... By the way, to where that crack is, is it going to climb?

"... I wonder if it would be difficult to climb up the trunk without tools or anything to get to the crack"

With that said, Yuki turns her gaze to those who were nearby.

There were also two figures near them like that, the brave and the rear, and they also seemed to look up at the cracked world tree. Given that those two people only have the same eyesight as common humans, they probably use something magical to observe cracks.

Besides that, on the spot, there were figures such as Alborosa's maids, deacons and soldiers, all of whom, without exception, looked worried and looked over the tree, consulting each other. In their case, they couldn't seem to see the crack, and they seemed to be discussing how to check the authenticity of Waltz's words. At that time, no one tried to climb a tree using tools, either because the area was dark and dangerous, or because national law prohibited them from climbing a world tree using tools that damaged the tree......

It should be noted that there are no figures here of Julians who can fly with their own wings.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there seems to be no way to confirm the crack and you are in trouble... Sage"

"In the morning, don't you see for yourself? Because if it brightens up, it should be visible to everyone. But the question is… will the tree stay until morning,"

"That's why Catalina and Lucia are working hard, and there's Waltz, so I'm sure you'll be fine"

That's what I said, Yuki looking up into the sky again.

Then right after that. Somehow she inadvertently narrows her eyes...... I said this.

"Ah! After a close look, there was a way to get close!

"What?"

"We climbed the observatory yesterday, didn't we? Looks like there's a crack in there somewhere."

"I see. Is that what you mean..."

and a wise man who remembers the observation deck laid on the side of the world tree and the stairs that lead there.

Then he asks the brave.

"Hey, Leo. Did you hear that?

"Yep. Indeed, if you climb the observation deck, you will be able to observe the cracks nearby."

"Ah. But..."

That being said, the wise man turned his gaze to Leah, who was still anxious to walk. Although she also climbed to the observation deck with everyone yesterday...... In doing so, he was able to cut up long stairs with the assistance of waltzes, brave men, and so on. But there was no waltz this time, so it was very likely to be the brave men's foot clump.

Everyone was aware of that as well as the wise. The brave ones in particular seemed to haunt their minds as to what to do with Leah. Should we make him wait here, or should we take him with our knowledge of the impossibility...

He was aware of the concern, too. He just didn't want to wait on the ground.

"Dear brave man. About me too... take me... please. Please… I will"

"... but are you okay? You're going to climb quite a distance, so I think it's a huge deal for the rear, right?

"Still... I want to go. To the brave... I will not bother you"

Listen to that word--

"... ok. But beyond that, you have to protect yourself. In some cases, there's a chance it won't do anything to me either. Still, Leah... you're going, right?

—— and brave men to take final confirmation.

In contrast, the words Leah uttered were clear and short.

"Yes."

Thus the Brave Party was all set to go up to the observation deck built on the side of the world tree.... without knowing that there are other major problems waiting for you as well as Leah's physical problems.
