Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... here, 99th place..."

"Maybe... there isn't?

Lucia digs a hole with dirt magic, and Waltz takes her to fly through the hole for roughly two hours. Waltz's expectation that there might be a ”demon god” dwelling in a relatively large cavity made in the earth has so far continued to come off 99 times in a row.

"Sister, do you still want to go on?

"... So if we look for another place, let's give up and go home once? Everyone's probably worried... no, it's this time of night, are you asleep..."

"Maybe..."

and sisters remembering the energy that would be cooling the nuclear fusion furnace while self-repairing the propulsion engine, far above the town. Young members, with the exception of Lucia, are taking breaks on that ship…. Considering it was late at night, it wasn't long before everyone was asleep.

Thinking about it, did you get more and more drowsy ——

"Huh..."

and Lucia yawning heavily. It also uses earthly magic in its current progression and blows the rock formations in front of it into the void......

Waltz, who sees his sister, slows down the flight and asks her for confirmation.

"Are you okay? Lucia. If you're tired, I'll be home soon..."

"Yeah, I'm fine!

"Good for you...... but it's so hard to stop magic while you're flying through the ground, so be careful, okay?

What happens to the waltzes flying through the tunnel when Lucia stops exercising earthly magic, for example by sleeping... Well, needless to say, we're going straight to the impending wall.

However, Lucia also seemed to understand the concern well.

"Yeah. But if you're my sister, I believe you'll do something about it!

"Well, it's not like I can't make a sudden stop, it's not like I can handle it, but it's bad for my heart, so I figured you'd be careful, huh? No, I don't have a heart, okay?

and while the sisters are interacting ——

Bocco!

—— and a suddenly sprawling view. Apparently, we got to the last space.

Inside that space, unlike the cavities the two of us had seen so far, there were no mushrooms growing to glow green. Instead, in the dark space, there were some yellow light points shining. Yes, the light of the Magic Lantern......

"There it is..."

"I thought you didn't... I'm glad you didn't give up"

Waltz and Lucia slow down and land on the spot with such conversation. Then they looked around and made sure there was no danger, and they began to go behind the cavity.

Because behind the cavity, artificial structures could be seen.

"After all, when I say home... that's the only one, right?

"Yeah, right. But... hey?

"Yeah......"

That said, the alignment and the two sisters with a subtle look on their face.

Why the hell were they giving such a look...... That seems to have been caused by the design of the house.

"... Wherever you look at it, it's a barrel..."

What was at the end of their gaze, as Waltz said, was the appearance of a giant barrel of liquor as painted. More specifically, it is a round wooden barrel such as that used to make wine. However, it's not like it's a complete barrel of liquor... What a fancy barrel with a window on it and a small mushroom decorated in a bowl as a ornamental plant.

Lucia crushed herself when she saw such a barrel of liquor.

"... I feel like I know exactly what it's like to live here..."

"You're the one who liked alcohol too much and finally turned the house into a barrel of alcohol, too, huh?

"Yeah...... 'Cause if I were to build your house too, it would have taken the form of sushi —— yeah, I'd rather live in sushi..."

"What... sushi..."

Did you not understand Lucia's thought of wanting to live in sushi, or did you imagine her living in sushi... A waltz with a difficult look to describe. Apparently, she imagined a "sushi house” instead of a "confectionery house", but the house was by Lucia, the resident, after about 70% had already been eaten...

"... sister?

"Ha!"

"... what's wrong? You look so serious..."

"Yeah? I was just thinking... yeah. Just a thought, huh?

"Hmmm..."

"And anyway, let's look inside that building, shall we?

"Yeah... I'm not convinced of anything, but you are..."

With that said, Lucia goes toward the big barrel as she writes her mouth to. Waltz walks away one step before her like that......

And when they reached the great barrel, the two sisters knocked on the door that was there.
