Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

at about the same time.

"--Atlas. How's it going?

Catalina, who was in the guest room, was holding a radio and demanding a status report to the bear doll - Toto Atlas - who was operating in town.

Then was Atlas busy himself...... From Julia, who was carrying about him, the reply returns instead.

"Yes, Atlas."

"... you sound like a girl, don't you? Atlas. Voice change (?) Is this the time of year?

'... Excuse me. It's really Julia......'

…………

"... Um... Master Catalina?

"Yes."

'Could you be angry? That's also equivalent......'

Julia asked the question in such a way that no matter how long she waited, it was because she didn't get a response back from Catalina, she was afraid.

Catalina against didn't seem angry...... She seemed to have some circumstance, and started talking about it with a little sigh of relief.

"... I was just not sure how to return the reactions to the good ones. I've been thinking about saying something back here, too, but all I can think of is a lot of dark stuff... Is it because the roots are originally dark..." Noh.

'What... Yes, no, I don't think so, do you?!

"Well, that's a joke. But... I'd like to make an interesting joke, like Julia one day too..."

'Er... yes. Good luck. I'm rooting for you... (Sure, that joke, it could be dark...)'

... thinking about whether to say or not, when Julia is worried about the following words... Catalina seems to have guessed it, and she decided to return to the original topic.

"So what do you say? How are you doing..."

'Honestly, that's terrible... Fire columns are rising all over town, and Atlas is extinguishing them from one end. Perhaps they are sending in bugs that look like people using the metastatic demon squares that Eclerian Kingdom specializes in?

"Really...... Since Energia's gone, there's been a sudden increase, so maybe from the start the Ecclerians were thinking of attacking the town of Rice after we —— Mid-Eden left..."

"... Um, Master Catalina? Aren't you going to ask what's going on with the people in town?

"…" Honestly, it's terrible ". That word conveys enough. There is no way in this world to save a life spilled out of your hands or to not mourn it, so if you're doing the best you can right now, I guess that's the best result. Now, all we can do is look forward and deal with Ecleria, not regret that we didn't have the strength to do so.... I know how dark the roots are."

'Maybe... Do you care about the word root darkness?

"………… no" Mmm.

'... is that right? I'll make that up to you (I knew you cared......)'

Are you backwards or positive...... Yulia smiles bitterly on the other side of the radio, feeling Catalina's mood as she flies on the radio.

The opposing Catalina also seemed to have meditated somewhere happily on the inconsistency of her words and deeds.

◇

After that, after I finished communicating with Julia.

"What do you say? Nicole (Sage). Have there been any changes to Mr. Randy or Mr. Water Dragon?

Catalina asked such questions to the wise men who were watching the water dragons together in the guest room.

Sage against doesn't answer questions right away...... I say this with a difficult look on my face.

"Is this really good..."

"Is something wrong?

"Master Argo is not a person to leave Mr. Randy alone for now, is he? And yet, is it okay for me to get the same treatment as people?

"I wonder if treatments and medications for people don't work?

"Oh. I think the very fact that they are unconscious, is the result of a toxin that doesn't work for us, but if we think the opposite is true, isn't it natural that the way we treat them is different from people's?

How dare you do it after the pills... Did you think of that, a wise man turning a worrying gaze at the water dragons who were lined up in rows of six on the floor?

Then Catalina began to answer the sage's question when she held up her mouth small.

"You don't have to worry about that, do you? Nicole, because the healing magic I use on Mr. Water Dragons is not magic to neutralize poison or cure the body."

…… So, what kind of magic is it?

"I've shown you a little before, but it's magic that deliberately hurts your body."

"What?!

"Of course, it's not as damaging as your eyes can tell, is it? I just loaded my body's cells and left them close to a cold. When you have a cold, it can be said in common to all animals, but your body's immunity and metabolism are raised much higher than usual. I mean, trying to get the” bad stuff ”in your body to go outside on its own. There's no difference in species."

"I see... but isn't that all, like, another new poison coming in from the outside? I don't think there's any denying that it's in this air..."

"Of course the juncture has unfolded. It's also a completely closed space now, except through waves of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and light."

"Oh, well... (No matter what literature I read, I can't find the descriptions” that, "or” Nathankatanso, "” starch, "etc... what the hell is that?

"Besides, we can't let anyone in from the outside right now..."

With that said, Catalina turns her gaze not only to the water dragons, but also to Messier and Randy and to Vega, the demon king of this country. Perhaps those who are now raiding this castle did not want them to know the whereabouts of the three, even if they were mistaken, as Catalina, since their primary purpose should be to do harm to those three. If they find out, they won't be spared a concentrated attack...

When Catalina thinks about that, this kind of communication comes into her radio.

"Let it be, Doctor...!

The voice of a snowwoman who turns 250 years old. It was nothing but horror if the listener listened, and in fact, the wise man seemed to nod small, upside down, his whole body hair.

However, Catalina was fortunate, it didn't seem, and she said this to the other side of the radio, wrinkling between her brows.

"... Yuki. What did you just say? ♪ Gogogogogogogogogo ♪

"Ngu?! Biku

"I'm not a teacher...... no, I told you before, didn't I? ♪ Gogogogogogogogogo ♪

'Shh, excuse me...... I'll be careful not to say it anymore......'

"Not at all...... So, what's the matter? Did you get a good night's sleep?

'I'm so sorry...... As a matter of fact, I came just outside the guest room, but the junction was stretched and I couldn't get in there...'

"... ok. Okay, I'll open it now."

That said, when Catalina remembered in her head, was the bond temporarily lifted --

Bataah!

—— Yuki jumped in.

That's not all. From behind, the staff of Vega's castle follow her in.

"Hey, Mr. Yuki? What the hell is this --"

And, mouth it that far, but somehow, Catalina, it solidifies as it is.

What came into her sight like that ——

"From Mr. Vega's room, I brought Mr. Vega!

—— As Yuki said, Vega, the unconscious Demon King, was being held by the Four Heavenly Kings.

Yes, the second Vega......
