And all the members of Ho (...) Bo (...), who were in the town of Rice, returned to the castle of Vega.

"…………" zu

'I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, Eve... I didn't mean to surprise you...'

"... you know... Dear Atlas. Eve...... maybe I know. Master Atlas said he hated Eve..."

"Chi, no..."

"... Hey, Julia? That, what are you doing?

"Come on?"

Eve still had a dark look that seemed to cry as she held back the bear doll she could hear Atlas in its current progression. Waltz, realizing how she was doing, questioned Julia, who was acting with Eve... But Julia didn't know why she was familiar either, and the two seemed to have tilted their necks in alignment.

Well, about that, it's a problem between Eve and Atlas, so as to put it aside for now...

"So, Master Waltz? What are the candidates for the World Tree going to do?

"Well...... At first I thought I'd take half from the bottom in seniority... after all, I'd think about it properly. I don't know, whether we go up there or down there, I think we should split up the power because I think we're going to get into some kind of battle. Well, if you're climbing the world tree, I'm here, so you might not have to think about too much power or anything..."

"Really... (If you're a waltz, I think you can go alone... but you just can't say that...)"

Think of it, Julia, who didn't say anything extra.

Waltz, meanwhile, unable to read what she was thinking, began to say his own thoughts about the candidacy without worrying about the bitter laughter that Julia was having.

"Well, for now, Lucia feels like going"

At that moment ——

"" "What..." "

—— and the voice of doubt that goes up at the same time. All those who were there must have thought: That is —— does Waltz understand the meaning of the phrase "divide the forces of war"? It should be noted that some of its voices seemed to include those of Lucia herself.

Though. Waltz didn't seem to have said that he would take Lucia without a second thought.

"No? Taking Lucia, that's insurance to keep this town from going to the worst. If the world tree is about to fall and the town of Rice is about to crumble because of it, Lucia is the only member here who can help us, right?

"What?"

"Because, as far as I know, there are only three people in this world who can use massive transfer magic, but Lucia is the only one here among them... Amber will be in Olija by now, and if he doesn't want to talk to King Endelusia, he doesn't want to see his face..."

Say, waltz sighing with his nose. At that time, from nowhere is the distressed voice of 'eh...' (?) I heard —— well, eighty-nine, empty ears or something.

"So if Lucia is going to go with me and it's going to be a worst development, I'm thinking of moving the people (...) of this town (...) somewhere. Isn't that hard without you in the sky? Otherwise, I can't look over the whole town..."

"Well...... yeah, maybe so. I mean, we should move this (...) town (...) somewhere far away, right?

"Huh? Huh... But it doesn't have to be that far, does it? And you never have to let it transfer, only really in the worst case, do you?

"Yeah, you know what? That's why your sister's going to the heavenly side of the world tree, right?

"Yeah, right? If you go on top of the world tree and remove the” something ”that's nesting there, you won't have to evacuate everyone because the demons won't have to defeat the world tree? Well... if we have to leave this land, and the paralysis of the demonic people doesn't seem to go away, apart from talking about it?

Waltz said so, now he turned his gaze to Catalina. There probably —— there must have been some meaning in it about the mysterious paralysis of being attacked by demons and water dragons, wanting them to analyze it while we were gone.

You guessed that, Catalina opens her mouth.

"So I'm leaving a message here with Schwartz, right?

".................."!

"Yeah, please. With Lucia up in the sky, if you're here, you can balance your power."

"Um, Mr. Waltz? For once, I'm a non-combatant..."

I didn't bother......

"............... anything?/(adv, adv-to) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) mu

"" "………" "sieve

"You know what? Catalina.................. yeah. After all, nothing...... (If I consider you as a criterion for non-combatants, what the hell should the rest of us describe? Dust before the wind?

Though, don't put that in your mouth...... Waltz turns his gaze to the person who will now have the power to fight second to Catalina. Note that there was no sign of Yuki, a cyborg here, so ——

"(Julia... not Theresa... not...) Brave?

--Waltz is lost. I'll give it to you, it looks like he's decided to be a brave man. It should be noted that it is unclear whether a truly brave man has the power after Catalina.

"Yes? What is it?

"What are you gonna do? Want to come with me?

"... right. Now, I, with Leah in this town, look forward to the return of Master Waltz."

"Then... me too... here..."

"Okay. So, you're both coming with me."

""... Yes?

"Then Eve and Rosemary come with me..."

"Huh? Eve too?

"Yes!

"And then... Sage, what do we do?

"No, I'm here--"

"Hmm. Sage, don't you want to see what's on the world tree?

".................." puffy

"Well, normally, you'll go. If not, I don't know if I'm a wise man... And more...... was anyone there?

"... does that mean that a concubine may decide to act freely? Then follow Waltz! Everywhere!

"I'll follow you, too! Follow Teresa everywhere, yes!

"Well, you don't have to ask, you will..."

That said, waltz looking around the room again after a tired look on his face. Then she found the four that had not yet spoken, and said this unto each.

"Did Julia say that her cousin... Dahlia? Could you please leave a message with the hunter and Atlas to protect us?

"Yes, sir."

"Yes! I'll take care of it!

"Oh, leave it to me! Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you're paid!

"Eve... forgive me... please..."

and the four who answer to Waltz's instructions. One inside, someone seems to have suffered enough lethal damage to fall into non-combat, but, well, it could be described as a range of errors.

And......

Waltz, who has skipped something so instructive to the twelve who were in the room, will, at the end, truly, utter a genuine ”instruction”.

"So that's the last of it...... Cortex. You, come here."

The moment I heard that--

'... Yes?

—— and one macrophage that solidifies. At that time, the others were also reacting to surprises because they didn't think Waltz would call Cortex directly...
