Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Then we found about four living soldiers, after Dahlia, the florist, intelligence agent and pharmacist, applied first aid.

"Summarizing the information we got... it looks like you've all been slashed by someone in black."

'Ah. But I'm talking about the other guy dressed in black... I guess the contents are worms?

"But I can't believe you unilaterally defeated as many as 30 resilient soldiers... can you?

The three were putting together information they had received from soldiers to discuss what they had been attacked by. Well, the soldiers who were damaged were also talking about not looking at them carefully, so in the end, it seemed like they were not sure who they were at that point.

'... you have no choice. Well, let's be vigilant now, anyway. I've never been beyond that. But before we resume our exploration, I'm going to make sure that the two of you —— is it okay if we keep investigating the urban juncture?

"Suddenly, what's wrong?

'No... it's good because I operate macrophages safely far away, but the Julians are biological. When there was some guy who really sucked, it wasn't me who would be harmed, it was the two of us, so I wanted you to decide whether or not to continue the investigation like this. Of course, I'll follow the decision of the two of us and if we're going to continue our investigation, I'll be with you until the end of the day, so don't worry about that.'

and hunters of how they decided to leave it to Julia and Dahlia to decide whether to continue the investigation of the urban junction.

Then, of the two opposing sakubas, Julia, who had been with the hunter for a long time, said this question.

"... that's unusual? If it's the usual hunter, I think it's going to go a long way, but today it's passive or something a little different than usual..."

'... you know what I mean? I think I'm starting to get withdrawal lately because I haven't been feeding Waltz hand-cooked food. My hands tremble because of that... So, if so, are you worried that you can operate the macrophage properly? Macrophage over there, are you shivering?' Plum

"You're shaking as usual, but you don't look like you're vibrating..."

'Well... then maybe not so much yet... Well, that's a joke...... seriously, I'm really worried'

"Worried?"

'Ah. I think you're pretty good at assassinating as many as 30 bent soldiers in the dark, even if the other guy was a bug. Besides, before the battle, there must have been so much light in this square... that the soldiers would have been assassinated in the light, right? I don't think that's normal.'

"Is that what you mean...... Have you noticed?

"No, now I'm just saying it and coming up with it"

"Still, I don't think that's going to change what I realized."

With that said, Julia turns a bitter smile against the humble hunter.

Then she looked at the person next to her…. He confirmed the appearance of his cousin shaking his neck sideways (...) in a desperate manner, and then spoke this conclusion to the hunter.

"It's okay."

"Hey?!

"I believe the hunter will help you no matter what."

'Well, I'll do good...'

"Besides, we're not helpless. It has as much power as it can fight solid. So don't worry, hunters, let's get ahead of ourselves."

"Julia......"

"Ah! Is that the flag now?! I'll make some corrections.... We're helpless and it's not weird whenever we die, so please help us as soon as something happens. Absolutely, right? Master Hunter."

'That's what I said, and I don't think the flag is going to help, is it?... Ok. I'll be more vigilant than ever before so that I don't make a big deal out of it, and I'll be sure to help you if anything happens to it.... mainly, ask Atlas?

"Yeah, please. You're counting on me, aren't you?

That's what I say. Julia wrinkles her eyeballs. Dahlia, on the other hand, seemed to want to get away with it now if possible...... My fate (?) He seemed to have the look on his face all the time saying that he had decided to accept that he couldn't care less anymore.

◇

Then the three of us will look around for anything in the square that has anything to do with urban ties…. However, it did not seem possible to find anything likely to be related to the urban juncture.

"Demonic props of the urban junction...... maybe not in this square? This could have been... fitted in the button..."

"Yeah, only Margaret would have really fit in. A little regret..."

'No, no, both of you? Don't fight, okay?

And it was when the hunter spoke. Did she find anything that bothered her or say something like this?

'By the way... Mr. Button?

"No, please call me Dahlia"

'Oh well. Bye, Dahlia.'

"Eh... oh yes (this guy, he's familiar enough, but really, what kind of guy...)"

What is this tablet? Is that someone's grave?

The object that the hunter who spoke so looked upon was like a square stone tablet, set in the center of the square. They said something was written there in letters the hunter didn't know, and she seemed to wonder what it was written there.

"It is said that this is a scripture describing what the people of Alborosa should be. It seems to be a word left by the king before Lord Vega."

'Hmm? What does it say?

"I'm not really familiar with the details...... the epitome is that it says something like" brush your teeth and then go to sleep "or” eat up to eight minutes belly "or” don't stay up late ”some parent's words (well, eighty-nine, that would be the word left by the Predecessor to Master Vega...)"

"Is it superficial? So, what's the back side?

"... it says where the treasure is..."

"I don't think there's any such thing as writing about the grandeur of treasure on stone tablets all over town..."

That's what I said, a hunter trying to touch a stone tablet with the hands of a macrophage. Then, because of the clear nature of the walls in the macrophages, the hunter unintentionally would sink into the stone tablet.

As a result ——

…… Hey, both of you! It's like a passage in this tablet?!

"" What... "

—— The hunter found in the stone tablet the figure of a staircase that somehow leads to the basement.
