Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Hmm... to, brother...?

"It's still Leese... Long time no see"

"Brother Richard...... How... how did you get here..."

It was the nostalgic face of Richard-Alexandros, the hunter's brother, who hadn't seen it for a long time, who came out from under the helm enclosing the entire head the man was wearing.

He should have resigned as a bureaucrat after the former king of the Mid-Eden kingdom had collapsed and the country had turned into a republic and become a disciple of the ”Saru Kenhao” in the king's capital. But that's fake...... He has been missing for the past few months.

"... you wouldn't understand if I explained it. But... well... I see..."

…………

A hunter who doesn't know what it is and has a complex look on his face before his brother who wrinkles his eyeballs in a way that convinces him of something. On the other hand, I'm glad to see my brother, who was missing, but my brother is the one who hurt Julia... On top of that, behind him was a large iron door that even felt disastrous. This was exactly the situation where the phrase "honestly not happy to reunite" fitted perfectly.

To her like that, my 15-year-old brother ——

"... the Tsutsu road I'm going to is a harsh road for even my real sister..."

—— When I said so, I threw the broken knife down on the spot and pulled the armpit out of my waist.

And declare it as you point it at your sister.

"Reese. I have to kill you more than you try to protect Mid-Eden. Mid-Eden from that fake demon god, to bring home our country... to our own hands."

"Hey, tell me what... tell me..."

"That's why I told you. I don't know what you're talking about right now. Besides, you are now in charge of Mid-Eden's defense. You're not in a position to persuade me to be flexible. So this is fate. General (...) and General (...). Each other, met but last. There's no other way to move on to the future than to kill and survive."

"Will…?

"Right...... let's name it before we start"

If you say so ——

Boom!

—— and Richard, the hunter brother, bowing respectfully with a knife in his left hand in the lower left corner.

Then he uttered words that made his sister's hunter suspicious of his ears by accident.

"... I am Richard-Alexandros, head of the 9th Assaulter Regiment in the Kingdom of Ecleria. Now, here, to your lord, I sign up for a duel!

The hunters against ——

"Ugh... lying... right? Brother...... Tell me it's a lie... tell me it's a lie...!

—— I threw those words at my brother, along with the look on his face that was still going to cry.... Yes. Turn to my brother who was always supposed to be nice when I was little......

…………

"Why... Why didn't you tell me you were lying..."

…………

…………

And the bitter air flowing on the spot.

That's not something that could be ignored even for Dahlia, who was trying to treat her cousin in the same cavity, and she seemed to have stopped her hand in front of that sudden development. Nor do you realize that the person you were trying to treat is ”just a rock"...

Then how much time did it take? It's like an instant, but it's like hours... The next person to move such heavy and cold air was a hunter who had bitten his teeth off until then and waited for his brother's words.

"... I... I, Elizabeth-Alexandros, Secretary of Defense of the Mid-Eden Republic. Your offer of a duel……… take it and stand"

And the next thing the hunter did...

Karan......

Karan......

—— Somehow, it was an inexplicable thing to let go of both the two daggers that were in your hands.

A hunter brother who sees it asks with a strange look on his face.

"... you... wouldn't admit to losing before the general fought, would you?

In contrast, the hunter replied this way, staring straight at his brother —— the enemy.

"... If acknowledging the defeat of a nation's generals makes the people happy, it's not a bad idea for me to sacrifice myself and take that choice. But here and now, what I'm trying to do is not for the people, not for the country, as one human being… as your brother's sister, trying to do what I can.... Brother Richard! I will definitely make you stop......!

"... unarmed? Hmm. I don't want you to treat me like a brother forever. Regret in the afterlife that you lost your life because of that alarm......!

With that said, Richard turns his fierce gaze to his sister. And then when he holds his sword with both hands ——

Shh...

—— Kick the ground without sound, and accelerate all at once... The hunter was slaughtered.

Thus...... Whichever wins will only make you unhappy, the battle between your brother and sister opened the curtain.
