Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

'... that's why. Brother Yong, we are going to check the contents of the example "door" of the story that is underground, so in the meantime, I would like to ask Brother Yong to get rid of the worms in town. "

After being contacted by the hunter, Atlas was now using a radio to talk to the brave man in order to entrust him with the defense of the town, which would be made thin by leaving the front.

Those brave men who took it--

…………

--He seems to have silenced himself for some reason.

'... no? Brother Yong...'

Atlas asks, wondering why the brave don't respond. Then the brave man said this in a disgruntled manner somewhere.

"... Dear Atlas. I don't mind dealing with the bugs. But could you call me" brave ”instead of” yuri ”?

'Hmm? No, I don't mind that... no? Respectfully, more--'

"Uh, uh, can you hear me? Hi, your radio doesn't seem to be doing well... '

'... you don't want to be told'

'... Yes. I have a rear......'

That said, on the other side of the radio, a brave man looking around next door. After all, he wants to keep his identity hidden from his childhood...

'I get it. Brave. But... well, it's only a copy of Brave. What I say, I don't think it's something I can go on forever...'

'Yeah, I know. But let me stay like this now. Actually, I'm having a little fun.... right. Not Brother Yong, Yu --'

'... sorry. I think I stuck my neck in something extra. Forget it...... Then do me a favor later.'

said, Atlas to disconnect communication early. Apparently, on his spine, some cold sensation ran.

◇

Then Atlas, after being recovered by Julia, who flew in the sky, shortcut the township and stepped down to the square with the hunter and Dahlia.

"You kept me waiting..." Noh.

"... Hey, Atlas. Did something bad happen to you? It's very dark, isn't it?

When the hunter asks about the circumstances, feeling somewhere dark the voice of Atlas, which was heard from the bear doll that came... Atlas put aside a few moments and said:

'... no, it's nothing. Nothing, I'm not saying, but it's very personal. Never mind......'

"Right...... If it's hard for you to talk, I won't force you to ask... but if you have any problems, I'll always talk to you, so tell me, okay?

"I'm sorry... hunter sister"

"What, reciprocity?

That's what I said, after sending a bright grin at the bear doll... The hunter turned his gaze toward the entrance to the underground tunnel, which had his mouth firmly open to the ground.

Then, imitate it, and the bear doll gazes at the same spot.

"That's it... the entrance to the underground..."

"Oh, yeah. Originally there was a stone tablet built there, but Yulia was forced to pull it out..."

"Because I couldn't get down there without getting that stone tablet out of the way..."

"No, you're not gonna blame me, are you? Yeah. That was necessary."

"What, you didn't force me to say that?

…………

"Why are you shutting up there..."

Julia turns not only to silence, but also to a hunter who for some reason turns a blind eye. Then my cousin Dahlia pinches her mouth.

"Margaret? I don't think we should run away from reality. I think we should look at the facts..."

"... there's something I honestly don't want to admit if I'm alive... But, no, don't worry, it won't be what the button thinks? When it's all over, I'll stab the stone tablet on the ground, just like it was."

"Oh, yeah. But that tablet, it's broken from the middle, isn't it?

'Well, let's just leave the stone tablet thing at bay. Worst case scenario, I don't even have a hand in asking Syranui to rebuild it. So... are you telling me anything but me that this town's urban boundaries are no longer working?

"I left it for Catalina while Julia picked up about Atlas. To the waltz...... I stopped because I seem busy right now"

That's what I said, a hunter who turns his gaze to the high sky. In the dark skies that were there, even if you can see the gleaming shadows of the world tree, you can't see the white hull of energy...... The hunter seemed to think that the waltzes were still busy responding to those on the heavenly side of the world tree. Well, at the time the brave man was returning, things were already over...

Nevertheless, a line that the Waltz didn't know what they were doing now seems to have decided, for now, not to think about them and to move on.

'Well... let's leave it up to the Catalina sisters to see if there's a spare for the urban junction in this town, and we'll... take a peek across the ”door” of examples.... Yes, Mr. Dahlia. For once, I just wanted to make sure, is it all right if Mr. Dahlia's supposed to accompany you? If we move forward together, we might encounter something that we can't pull off later, okay?

"The story is Margaret —— no, I asked Julia. I have nothing to do with it either. Be sure to let me give it to you (you think this voice, absolutely, sounds like a good human being...)"

'Right... ok. Then let's go together'

and a bear doll that snorts back toward her cousin in Julia, who is turning a straight gaze.

Then the four proceeded with their feet into the hole that opened in the center of the town square.
