Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"That role, that I --"

"I solved all the mysteries. ~?

…………

"No, wait a minute, Cortex. Sage said something. Is that what you're doing? Oh, yeah. Sometimes you have to ask a wise man to say something about being a wise man, right?

…………

'Oops, did you ~. What I did almost ruined Sage's sunny stage ~. Come on, sage ~? Show us something different than the usual muzzle, called adult cool!

"... what is this hurdle..."

A strange place of air prepared by a badly ridden waltz and cortex, even though I was just trying to mouth speculation. The sage seems to have frowned as to what to do before the hurdle, which was also set far above it on a bright blue level. Still, more than that, maybe he didn't mess up because that's what the original ”wise man" looked like.

And the wise man spoke out slowly, after sighing like a little tired, in a way that responded to Waltz's request that he put his thoughts together.

"... first of all, I want you to bear in mind that what you are going to say is only speculation, good or bad"

"" So?

"............ there is so much information in front of us right now that we are about to get confused, as Lord Waltz said earlier, I think we all know. So, what do you say we split what we know about the status quo into two parts:" certain "and” uncertain "? That way you'll see what you're missing."

"I mean... I'm only talking about possibilities. Once you push it into the corner of your head, you sort out your thoughts, right?

"Oh, in short, you're right. Well, let's get started."

Sage said so and shook his neck vertically, he took his notebook and pen out of his pocket, made an item there called 'Sure Things' and 'Uncertain Things', and started writing down information in bullets.

And it wasn't long before he finished writing, he mouths the results, glancing at the notebook.

"Now read out the synopsis....... the head of the kingdom of Alborosa is absent. Weakening of the protection of the royal castle. Bugs manipulated by someone. And the isolation of the King's capital due to great fluctuations in the world tree...... This is the situation in this country that we can say for sure now."

"Hmm. You don't just read what you wrote, do you? Replacing the absence of demonic soldiers with" weakening of the protection of the Royal Castle "..."

"Just because" no demon tribe ”doesn't know what it means, so I rephrased it to my guess.... You said it first, right? This is a guess," he said.

"Yeah, you did..."

and waltz with a convincing look at the sage's explanation. That seemed to be the same for Cortex on the other side of the macrophage, and she seemed to have decided to listen to the sage very carefully, without putting in the sidelines.

Then the sage story goes on.

"Besides that, let's not think about it for now because we don't know what the cause is and even if we think about it, we don't find the answer to the story of the insects being animals and humans, the story of the demons trying to defeat the world tree, and the fact that there is something on top of the world tree that is in conflict with the demons, or that fireballs fly out of nowhere and get attacked. So… from this, there is a possibility of suspicion…"

"" "... is it possible?

"This country could be... invaded by someone."

and a wise man with an extremely serious look on his face and a speculation that should also be expressed as such a ”blown away”.

Waltz, on the other hand, just couldn't seem to agree with that assumption.

"No, that, what do you think? If you're going to invade, here's a few more, I think there's a smart way... (like shooting ballistic missiles in? No...)"

"Oh. I can understand that opinion, and I'm not going to deny it. If this country is further weakened, maybe a full-scale invasion will begin."

"... if you say so, I'm going to feel that way too..."

"... all the tops of Alborosa lay on the floor one after the other as if they had a clear aim, and on top of that, where there were fewer soldiers from the royal castle, the insects who looked like men are coming. Too well timed, and too odd.... No, actually, there may already be an invasion using the bugs"

…………

"I have a lot of other things to say...... too much speculation, I'll be confused again, so let's stop around here.... What do you think? Dear Cortex, I'd like your opinion on my thoughts."

That said, now a wise man turns his gaze from troubled waltz to transparent macrophages.

Then Macrophage began delivering Cortex's voice after only a little shuddering.

'... you should answer that normally ~?

"... right. Hopefully......"

'Really? ~... unfortunately, you have no choice ~.... Actually, my opinion was the same as that of the wise man, who thought that someone was attacking Alborosa. I still don't know if that's aggression, or just harassment, so far ~... Look, Master Silanui's place, Grandpa. They took the country a few decades ago and they felt so bad ~? I think the possibility that they're harassing Alborosa, depending on what you think, could be enough ~. Well, that's just one guess.'

"The way you put it… What is it, Master Cortex, that you are certain of?

"I get it ~? That's Sage ~. Exactly. But the way you think about it, you're just like Sage ~? That this country is under attack by someone ~. But there's only one very different point. By the way, do you know what it is ~?

"... a very different point?

'That's right. Well, I don't even have time to say the answer ~...'

And Cortex speaks his own guess...... It certainly seemed beyond the conjecture of a wise man.

"... at least two forces ~. This country, Alborosa, presumes to be attacked by two or more thoughts or forces'

The moment I heard that word--

…………

"Is that how you came..."

—— The reaction of those on the spot, divided from.

Apparently, Cortex's assumptions could not be understood except by the wise.
