Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Sage and Yuki (and Macrophage) walking inside the town of Rice after breaking up with the brave men, the two headed there at the treatment center that was in town...... It was their aim to deal with addicted patients of insecticides that would be transported there.

In the meantime. Out of the royal castle, we went on for a while --

"What shall we do...... Should I contact my teacher for once? But the teacher will be on vacation by now..."

--Yuki mumbled those words.

By contrast, the wise man to whom the question was directed did not know who the word ”teacher” referred to... He asks Yuki the opposite question in a strange way.

"Um... who are you talking about, Doctor?

"Of course, I'm Dr. Catalina. Because I am a doctor and a doctor.... but when I call him" teacher ”in front of him, he gives me a totally unpleasant look..."

"... I see"

and, with his mouth, a wise man with a thin bitter smile of bitter ingredients. It seemed easy for him to imagine that ”unpleasant look” as he had acted together as a brave party and had seen Catalina's expression more than once.

Then he asks Yuki this question as he somehow turns his jitsu eyes to the wise.

"... sounds a lot happier?

"... I remember a long time ago. When Catalina said something tight from Leah, instead of saying it back, she often had a look that she didn't seem comfortable with..."

"Really...... Sage, you have a little bad taste..."

"Huh?!

"No, it's a joke. Contact your teacher… a little later"

And Yuki mouths words like a sage hissing, with her eyes narrowed.

Then she turns her gaze to the town of Rice, which stretches beneath the small high hill where the royal castle was built... And inadvertently, I uttered this question.

"By the way... where is the treatment center? Can you see it from here?

"Shh, is it a treatment center...... According to the story of a maid who was in the royal castle, turn left at the penetration of this road and go up the stairs on the right, further to the right, the second corner..."

"... Sage, you remember very well..."

"Yep. For once, I am a” wise man "…"

Sage who says so and then exhales a small amount of sigh that Yuki doesn't understand. He's the only one who can tell what that meant by a sigh... It seemed to contain at least two or more meanings.

◇

Then as sage manpower navigates, walk through a town with complex structures--

"... it looks like here"

"It's a real maze, this town..."

"Yeah, I agree"

--The two arrived safely at their destination, the treatment center. The journey there is not already in Yuki's head...... If you left her alone in town, you must run on the roof of the house and head straight back to the royal castle.

Well, aside from that.

The two men who reached their destination stopped there once. Because there, there was a sight beyond the imagination of the two.

"You seem to have a lot of injuries..."

"Perhaps you, ladies and gentlemen, have been attacked by the bugs that have appeared in large numbers over the last few days. In order to replenish food and other supplies, you have to go outside the town where the bugs are countless…"

At the end of Yuki's and Sage's gaze at such exchanges, adventurers and thinkers could not get inside the institution building and were put to sleep under a tent built in the aisle outside. As far as that goes, perhaps the building is in a more gummy-stuffed situation than the outside.

Seeing the sight, Yuki utters these words with a complex look on her face.

"At times like this, I feel... helpless"

"... helplessness?

"Since I became this body, I can no longer use magic. Ice magic as well as healing magic...... So even if I look at people who are hurt like this, I just look at them, and there's very little I can do... Even so, I'm not dissatisfied with this body, though, am I?

"Really..."

That's what I said, a wise man who narrows his eyes emotionally. He seemed to think of this before the wounded. … whether or not we should angelize the wounded and exercise powerful healing magic.

But before that conclusion was drawn, Yuki added words.

"But... if I could use healing magic, I wouldn't use it here."

"It's..."

"That's because that's what the teacher taught you."

"Catalina told you not to save people? I don't think she would say that..."

"Yeah, of course, you didn't tell me not to save people, did you? What the teacher was saying was... the same thing that saves and kills people. Once you decide to save, you must continue to save that body until it perishes. Otherwise, one day when I couldn't help people, I would be attacked by the wonder that I might be the same person who killed them…"

"... that's a statement I don't think of as a younger girl..."

"Right. But I agree with that word. Because I've actually seen people my teacher couldn't save, and family members left behind. You're gonna curse me for trying so desperately to help you, but it's your fault you couldn't help me, you killed me, right? Still... I don't think it's possible for me to continue saving people without bending my mind. So I've decided not to save people halfway through. Besides... my top priority right now is to find a way to extend my sisters' lives. I... think I'm a cold person?

"Yes, no... that's not..."

And to Yuki's inquiry, which suddenly flew, a wise man, while denying it, but unable to answer it straight. Nevertheless, that halfway response seemed to be exactly what Yuki had assumed.

Yuki therefore went on to say these words.

"Actually, you're thinking of just the right excuse to use in a situation like this, aren't you?

"It's..."

"Because I... am the demon king of snowwomen!

With that said, Yuki, former (...) Demon King of the Boreas Empire with a grin.

The wise man who saw it, though he opens his eyes as surprised... Looks like he smiled and dropped his shoulder to mock himself for what he thought.

Then the two began to look for any of the people there who had fallen because of waltz insecticides. That, too, while realizing that our actions contradict Yuki's statement just before......
