Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"What is this..."

"Maybe you're the black bug attacking this town... Maybe Master Atlas hasn't heard?

"No, I was listening. But it's the first time I've ever known that you're devouring crops and world trees and turning them into human shapes... '

See how a lot of little bugs were shaping people into one chunk...... Atlas seems to have inadvertently doubted his eyes on the other side of the screen of the Magic Guide PC where he was operating the bear doll. In that kind of story he was hearing from the Cortex, the black bugs were supposed to be insects that just had a massive outbreak...... He never seemed to think of shaping people and, on top of that, using tools to fight. It's also, as if, a single willingness......

As for that, not only Atlas, but the others seemed to think the same.

'Oh, I can't believe my own eyes either... If this came out in the woods, even I would be about to cry...'

"Well, it could be an unusual sight..."

"I don't think Marie's going to get any closer either..."

"My... florist..."

and others who see the sight and frown. Note that some people seemed to think differently, but, well, let's just leave her out of it.

'This guy... can he be caught? Or, if we catch him, can we interrogate him?

'Come on? I don't know... The moment I catch him, he's going to get away with it, and I don't think I can interrogate him where I caught him by it... Atlas. I suggest you get rid of one thought.'

"Oh, yeah... will you"

That said, Atlas considers the girls who were there while trying not to divert attention from the bugs. He seemed to have something intuitive. That is —— the bugs in front of us are not just a collection of bugs, and if we don't deal with them quickly, it will be a big deal, ….

And the hunch becomes real.

Casa casa... pita...

From the part of the mouth that hits a person when he wonders if the insects that were shaping him have hardened accidentally ——

Bohoo!

All of a sudden, he threw out a fireball.

"(hey?! In the house?!

The bright red fireball that flew out of the black bug with an atlas glance —— it was, indisputably, due to fire magic. In other words, a collection of insects exercised their magic in the building, without worrying that they might burn. How unusual is it for bugs who should have never used magic before to suddenly start using magic... Atlas seemed to think about it in a short time and feel an unknown and great sense of crisis.

But the problem in the present situation was not that the bugs used magic. Sure, the underlying cause of every trouble was in their magic, if I may say so, but above all the problem was that the fireball was unleashed in the house - it was also unleashed in a wooden building.

If Atlas, who was on the magical ray, were avoided, those behind him would be harmed and, conversely, if he took it or bounced it back, the whole house would become a sea of fire...... The situation was a dangerous attack for the bugs and likely to self-harm, which could be described as a self-destructive attack of abandonment.

In front of such a situation, Atlas worried. It seems that we overclocked the neurosystem mounted on ourselves and simulated every possible way to figure out what to do with the looming fireball in the fast space of thought that we created during the moment.

As a result, the way he got to deal with it was to trap the flying fireball inside the bear doll. A ”bear” made far more robust than it looks swallows fireballs to minimize the effects of fire magic. That would probably make the bear useless, but that's about all I could come up with for no one to get hurt.

And the next moment, the bear opens his mouth wide ——

Zdwong!!

—— and make such a loud noise ——

Doshaaaa!!

—— and, for some reason, blew it to the side.

Atlas who doesn't understand the situation and is perplexed on the other side of the screen. All he could instantly understand was that the bugs didn't attack themselves. Other than that, it seemed to be exactly a situation where, when I realized it, it was blowing up.

Then, his understanding progressed after the girls' voices like this reached their ears.

"Master Eve! And then please!

"I don't know what that means anymore!

Almost, at the same time, mouth it that way, Eve and Rosemary starting to move. The moment the fireball hit the ”bear," Rosemary blew him up at the peak of the knife, and the fireball that flew right after it, Eve, who was waiting --

"... maybe it's a seal!

Chewin!

—— and trapped in super-powerful junction magic.

... Yes. Eve is instrumentally poor. Though she could use most of the magic that exists in this world, all of it was usually so weak that she couldn't stand the pragmatism. Except —— if you don't wear the magic amplification ring that you owe Cortex.

"... If I'm as strong as I usually am Eve, I might not have anything to say..."

"Exactly! Master Eve! Marie, I'm going with you everywhere! When I get back to your room later, I'll tell the Porches too!

"It... Seriously?

Eve then exercises super powerful sleep magic against the bugs, interacting with Rosemary like that. At that moment, the bugs seem to have collapsed on the spot, as if they were collapsed building blocks, and stopped moving at all.

It should be noted that at that time, Eve herself seems to have fallen unconscious... Did even an embarrassing event occur that no one can tell you about?

See how that goes ——

"I, Eve......!

—— and, surprised, Atlas rushes over to her.

By him like that, the moment he collapses to the ground, the barely taken Eve is --

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

'... ha. I wish I didn't have to...'

--So between then and waking up, I was supposed to be watched by my brother, who hates me...
