Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And the Julians came to the Adventurers Guild. But when Julia and the others arrived, there was no sign of the Strellas there...... It's been awhile since I've had to wait for them. Perhaps by now, the Strellas are slowly on their way to the guild, combined with sightseeing in the town.

Dahlia tells cousin Julia after making sure there are no Strellas in the guild.

"Well, we'll go through the process first, won't we? Margaret?"

"Yeah, I get it. By the way... how much money do buttons make a day?

Go to "... don't tell me"

"... if I saw that laugh, I'd think I'd know..."

Seeing Dahlia's reaction to her own inquiry with a full grin back, Julia perceives something approximate. Then she seemed to think about running a florist herself, but she only felt unable to make a profit, and she immediately gave up.

And after a temporary split with Dahlia, a total of six of the three sisters - Julia, Eve, Rosemary, and Porch - seemed to decide to see what kind of request they had for the guild, as they had nothing to do in particular. Even so, I just glance at the requisition that was on the nearby bulletin board.

"... after all, depending on the region, the content of the request is completely different?

"But here too, I have a request for medicinal herbs!

"It could be what you need in every town, or it could be safe."

"... but a B-rank request?

"".................. Huh?

The subject's rank on the request for herb collection had been erased and rewritten in slash lines, as in F to E and E to D, until it eventually came to B rank. Apparently, it was one of the black bugs that was rapidly increasing in difficulty.

"What's a B-rank request... how hard could it be?

"... are you exorcising dragons?

"That's S-rank. Marie."

and the status quo d rank (?) that Julia and the others are talking ——

"Mm-hmm... sure enough to crusade a bunch of petite gators (a kind of crocodile) -? I think Mr. Strella said that."

"Nano, you can always... With Fem......"

".................. zzz"

—— and, in the main, the pouches sandwiched their mouths.

"Petite gator...... you mean little crocodile?

"Yes -. There are plenty of petitgators living in the lake near the houses of the nanos, but it's often said that Mr. Strella makes the nanos" snack ”and feed them when they come hunting. What the hell do you think the nanos are?

"Previously, he said guard dog..."

"zzz............ snack?/(adv, adv-to) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) pickle/

"Hmm, maybe so - maybe the three of us will fight alone?

"Yes -. But when the nanos are fighting, Master Strella always has tea nearby, so they'll come and help you as soon as something happens. Okay?

"The last time Nano and Femme were being picked up, they helped me..."

".................. zzz"

"Hmm. Well, maybe... Master Strella, is she strong?

"It's..."

"Hey...?

".................. zzz" Kokurikokuri

and three poaches with what an unspeakable look to Eve's inquiry. Apparently they have something hard to say about Strella.

Then they're, like, triplets (?) I put it all in my mouth.

""... State secrets?

".................. zzz"

"Kokamichi...... Well, maybe he's strong."

And, Eve, who perceives the poaches' deputy voice and concludes so.

In doing so, the Porches ——

"" Biku "

—— and my eyes were rounded and solidified because of what a strict dictum (kankori) was laid about Strella's power... It should be noted that the decree was not promulgated by the Merclio government, but may be what Strella is personally saying.

That's when Dahlia came back to Eve after completing the request process. However, for some reason, her expression is not very good...... He seemed pale as the blood caught his breath.

Realizing that, Julia asks.

"... do you feel like something's going on? Dahlia."

"Yep... well..." Slow down.

That's what I said, Dahlia exhaling a big sigh.

Then Rosemary asks the question.

"Could it be... the fee was up sooo much?... 50%?

"So, I hate it so much... but things are in a much more awkward situation? Actually..."

And Dahlia said this briefly.

"I lost touch with the requested adventurer... and the seedlings didn't come in from outside the woods..."

Dahlia sighs again when she says so. That breath probably contained something like her soul......
