Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Did the people already evacuate, or three people in the town of Rice, where there were fewer people, Macrophage, Julia, and Dahlia (?) was walking towards somewhere. Yes, go somewhere......

"Um... Master Hunter?

'Yeah? What's up? Yulia'

"Do you know where in this town the core of the urban bond is?

'Hmm... Speaking of which, where is it...'

"(What is this guy... usually like...)"

A macrophage, Toito Hunter, who was walking at the beginning of a line, shaking his body plumply. Julia asked her where she was going, but the hunter didn't know where the city was... Looks like he was just walking for now.

At that time, Dahlia, who was watching the exchange between the two from behind, seemed to inflate her imagination, thinking about who the hunter was on the other side of the macrophage...... It is unclear what such a assembled hunter looked like in her head. Well, at least, it didn't seem like an amorphous creature like a macrophage.

In the meantime.

As Julia smiled with a slightly frightening bitterness, she began to utter speculations about urban ties.

"The demonic props of the urban junction, they spread in circles, so maybe they're in the center of town, right?

"Then... it doesn't look like a castle"

"Right...... I don't think so, as the castle is quite built by the world tree in town."

With that said, a castle in this town, on Theory Avenue, cliffs (?) Julia remembers being made with her back.

Then Daria, who was more familiar with the geography of the town than anyone else, opens her mouth to the conversation between the two.

"... in the center of town in a placement is” Central Square ”. I've never seen anything like a demonic prop in an urban junction there… maybe there's an institution that I'm missing something"

'Well... then go give it a try, if you can't... well, then go to the castle and ask the guy who seems to know what's going on'

"I really wish I could ask someone from the beginning, but I don't know where the city ties are - what a Mid-Eden thing to ask us..."

"I don't think it's so easy to ask that, maybe, people in this town, as opposed to the Alborosans..."

and Dahlia, who speaks of such things, thinking about what would happen if they asked the people of the town about urban ties. At that time, she seemed to notice that her cousins were turning a deep grin... Knowing what that means, it seems that Dahlia also decided to quietly return a grin.

◇

Then a line flew through the tumultuous town, shortcut the houses, and came to the town's central square.

There, it was sometimes the night, wrapped in dark darkness... Still, it didn't seem to have much to do with the dreamer Julia and Dahlia and the hunter who was driving the macrophage.

Should I say thanks to that...... They will notice the anomalies that were spreading there.

"What... this..."

"Everyone's dead?

"Was it also a massive battle here?

More than 30 soldiers had fallen into the square.

"There was a big fight...... so that doesn't sound like it. It looks like the only soldiers in this country are falling... But maybe there's something else besides bugs."

"Guys, looks like he was slashed with a sharp blade..."

"Anyone still breathing?

and when the hunter speaks, in good time ——

"Ugh..."

—— A slight groan comes into their ears.

Following that voice, as the three advanced through the square, one soldier with a distressed look was falling on his back.

'Are you okay?!

"Ugh... Huh?... Ma... Ma...?

'Huh? Ah... no, it's not. Julia?' Cause when I talk to you, it's gonna be easy, please, instead. '

"Ah, yes. Okay."

And, on behalf of the hunter who was operating the macrophage, Julia comes forward, trying to hear the circumstances from the soldiers. In doing so, Dahlia appears to have begun to prepare the wound medication behind the two of them.

"What happened here?

"Ugh... I don't know... All of a sudden, for the first time in my life... when I realized it too... it was like this..."

"Sounds like... But what the hell attacked you?

"I don't know... something... not a bug... like a black shadow... uhh!

"And please hold on!... When this happens, if you have Catalina or Lucia..."

"Margaret? If you make me do any more, I'll kill that one, won't I? I'll do it later, so get out of the way."

That's what I said, Dahlia, slipping the medication I prepared into the wounds of a soldier.

As a result, the soldier, though only for a moment, gives a painful look…. Did it get easier right away, or did it get quieter by accident? It should be noted that he is not dead.

"A little button (Dahlia)? That medicine, what?

"Huh? Pain killer, though? And it contains herbs to stop the blood."

"For a moment I wondered if the button had stabbed Todome..."

"That's why I don't know what to do with this development..."

That's what I said. Dahlia sighs heavily in a grumpy manner.

Then, after moving the sleeping soldier to the edge of the square... The three seem to have begun to look again for anyone else with breath on the spot.
