Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"…………" zu

"... this place is getting very densely populated..."

The newly unconscious Randy and the water dragons, plus Catalina, who brought Messier back to the guest room. Welcoming such a thing about them, Waltz seems to have inadvertently sighed in front of the rapidly growing number of guest rooms.

Well, I can tell you that even if she's had that reaction, there's no choice. Anyway, here lay the heavy towns of Alborosa, beginning with Vega, the unconscious demon king. Let it also be watched by the Mid-Eden people who were supposed to be enemies before...... It was an unusual circumstance.

In such a state of affairs, if there is one who can remain plain--

'I see ~. You're gathering political cards gradually ~. No, I'd rather have it all, should I say ~? Well, I don't need it because I don't have any use for it.'

—— who is not here in the first place and peeking from the other side of the screen, or ——

"... hey! ♪ Momogu ♪

—— Isn't it like the one who cheeks on his favorite sushi as usual?

Well, aside from that.

Catalina seemed to be blocking the messiers from coming back to her room, wrapped in a black and heavy aura. Waltz inquired about the circumstances of her failure to leave her like that.

"But what's wrong with this? Catalina. All of a sudden, bring them in or something..."

"Gentlemen... I'm unconscious..."

"Well, it doesn't look like it, does it? I guess I brought him here because he didn't..."

"Paralysis of the nervous system is suspected…"

"Hmm. Weren't you also allergic to something? Or I had a fugue for dinner..."

"Similar to when the dragons were here before... No, it's a more severe symptom than then..."

"... Hey, Catalina?

"... Yes"

"You may suspect that you are the cause... but maybe you don't?

"... Huh?

Catalina looks up in a hazy manner when she hears that word of waltz. After all, she seemed to feel responsible, wondering if the cause of everyone's loss of mind was on her.

But Waltz, it doesn't mean Catalina caused it.

"There are a couple of reasons... well, I think the primary reason is in Catalina's own actions?

"What? Me...... myself?

"Yeah. 'Cause the only place Catalina still sprinkles insecticides is in Vega's room, right? You're not sprinkling roses in the hallway around here, are you?

"Yes......"

"Besides, yesterday, while trying to protect the rose seedlings in Vega's room from insects coming in from the outside, you demonized the room so that insecticides wouldn't leak out... you changed the pattern, right?

"Yeah...... but I don't think it means it's not leaking at all. When I went to Vega's room, the insects with the example chips suddenly appeared and died in front of me..."

"But isn't that how much you know? If it's near Vega's room, it's leaking a little bit. But from Vega's room to Messier's office, that's quite a distance away, and I wonder if you can think of any insecticides just pinpointing from Vega's room? Or maybe... Catalina, did you even make ducts to get the insecticides to and from you?

"... no"

"Then it's simply your thoughts."

and waltz i assure you with a grin. The opposite Catalina also seems somewhat soothed in her expression as to whether she was finally convinced. At that time, the colour of her worries did not disappear completely from her expression because, even if her actions were not the cause, the situation did not change?

Then Waltz, once away from the topic of paralysis... I asked Catalina about her first purpose when she left this room.

"Yes, yes. So, you see where the soldiers on the lookout went? He said the bugs might actually be people."

"Oh, I was...... But..." no.

"... what? Is there anything else going on?

Catalina, who once seemed to have recovered, frowned when she saw that she had leaned over again, waltz.

Then Catalina, after a small sigh as if to exhale the melancholy that was in her heart...... Again, when I looked up, I walked inside the royal castle and started talking about what I noticed.

"Bixe --"

………… ♪ Biku ♪

"-- not... there were considerably fewer people. I don't think I saw any demon tribes at all, especially like Mr. Randy and Mr. Messier. So, I thought something might have happened to you two, so I went to see how it went. Then..."

"... Mr. Randy was unconscious, too, right? (Could Catalina have asked you for a conversation with Enders?

"Yes......"

"I see... In that case, the demons may be falling in various places, even in the royal castle and in the town... It's also so massive that it doesn't even make a scene..."

and waltz remembering what percentage of those who worked within the royal castle the demons accounted for. It should be noted that, in her expectations, it appeared to have accounted for about 70%. In other words, if Waltz's predictions are correct, it is likely that only 30% of those who can move properly in the royal castle right now are the most (...) large (...) and also (...).

"Besides the demons, people like the water dragons who are not human are unconscious... Well, I don't know how many people like them..."

"Totally... you're getting a headache..."

"Yeah, really. Other than that, the talk of demons turning people and animals into worms remains floating in the universe, and the worms seem to operate without paralysis with worms, and yet only the demons and water dragons are paralyzed... You don't know what's going on anymore. Can someone sort it out, please?

And when Waltz speaks --

"That role, that I --"

—— and at the same time that the sage speaks out ——

"I solved all the mysteries. ~?

—— Cortex interrupted and started talking. Apparently, she noticed something about the current situation.
