Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And we brought all the citizens out to the square, and the rescue work by the Atlas was over. Although ”Reapers” appeared several times during that time, each time Atlas and Dahlia (?) and deal with it quickly...... It seems that no casualties were made as one person. … but on the side of the allies.

Until the rescue was over, Atlas, who continued to defeat the few ”Reapers," appeared to have a dark look in front of his own room monitor in Mid-Eden. But it wasn't for taking the lives of the Reapers, but for trying to kill them, the last thing seemed to be to turn into light and disappear, and then show up on the battlefield again. The pain of death that does not die, but prolongs and repeats itself. Apparently Atlas has imagined how horrible that is.

His expression couldn't have been heard over a bear-doll with no face--

"Whoa, what's up? Atlas. Something's dented, isn't it?

—— The hunter, who has been in action with Atlas for quite some time, seemed to feel the signs.

"To my hunter sister... you know..."

"Ah. Even if you can't see Atlas directly, if you look at Dahlia's complexion, you'll see clearly."

"That way..."

"No, it's a joke. Well, Dahlia is also Dahlia, and it feels like something's on my mind..."

The hunter takes a glimpse of Dahlia looking like she's discussing something with her cousins. Dahlia, who looked complicated there, talked to Julia about something, and she seemed to be shaking her head... From the spot it seemed that they did not know what they were talking about.

Then the hunter turns to Atlas again... Before she uttered the next word, a black object that she was listening to right around the corner pinched her mouth.

"... and what happened in the basement? Look, let me ask you something else."

I don't like to sunburn by the light magic light source I created myself, a nike that was unfolding a dark magic coat on the surface of my body.

In response to such a question from her, Atlas began to explain the situation by laying low the word "eccleria”.

"... in the basement, I ran into people like black ghosts"

"... the Reapers," right?

"Oh. But, well, thanks to the advice of the button, I managed to get out of the crisis."

"Hmm...... But that alone should have something to do with getting unfriendly with my daughter named that Dahlia or Button. What else happened? What are you hiding? Look, don't be shy to say it, okay?

'If I say otherwise... let the lantern that the button had glow uncleanly bright, or... have you seen me fighting... if there's a cause, I guess it's either...'

"... is that all?

'Oh, that's all. We're not fighting, are we? Really?'

"... well..."

That said, on the other side of the haunted shadow, a nike that seemed to get laid. Apparently, she expected a sweet, bitter story to come out of Atlas' mouth.

On the other hand.

The hunter, in Atlas' words, seemed to feel caught.

"Did they see you fighting, or... Was there something you didn't want to see? That... something terrible was coming out of the doll..."

"... I'd totally love to hear what my hunter sister imagines, but maybe that's not it. Also, ah (...) Tsu (...) et al. (...) did a hell of a thing... '

"Those guys? Oh..." those guys ”... Weren't there any casualties to the citizens who were caught underground? Well, the first soldiers in the square were a disaster..."

'Yeah. But not just the soldiers, but those Reapers, they were actually victims. Well... I didn't retain the prototype, so I don't know where anyone was sacrificed...'

"I didn't retain the prototype...? From that sign, was he undead?

'Undead... odd to say, but it wasn't undead. It was inside that gaseous object in the bottle... here it is.' Tons

"What's in your head...? Well, if you saw something like that, you'd be shocked too... Dahlia..."

and a hunter who sees a bear doll slapping his own head lightly and punches him in the face.

On the other hand, even for Nike, who was listening to the story, the conversation seemed unreasonable.

"No way...... you mean you only took the brain out of people and made such a monster?! Who the hell would do that..."

In response to that inquiry, Atlas and the hunter--

…………

--Together, they shut up.

Nike asks curiously if he didn't know why.

"... What's up, my lords? Don't you know who they are when you talk about them earlier? Or are you telling me that... over this period, I can't explain anything else?!

"No, that's not what... it's not what it is?

"No, hunter sister? You'll be misunderstood as saying that... '

and Atlas to place an order on the hunter's remarks.

Then he started talking about why we couldn't tell them who they were, reluctantly.

'... Mr. Nike. To be honest, we have one concern.'

"What? You think I'm going to do something that concerns you?

'... I'm worried. Knowing who they are, Nike doesn't want to retaliate... Of course, you're worried about Mr. Nike.

"Hmm! No need to worry about the rest! I'd like to say… but given the current situation, I'm not going to try a small battle of winning opportunities."

'Right...... By the way, without moving from here, you burn your opponent's country down in a moment with mighty magic...... or something, can't you?

"There's no way I can do that, is there? When the rest gathers the power of the world tree, there is a limit. Sincerely, the rest are merely guardians of the world tree. Even if it's called" demon god, "it doesn't have that kind of power."

'... ok. Then let's talk about who they are (that's crazy... There are a few people I know who can destroy the world in one mood... can't a real demon destroy the world?

"(Atlas...... I know exactly what you're thinking, but maybe you're one of them, huh?

and to each of them, Atlas and the hunter who, although he had thought of it, did not actually put it in his mouth.

Seeing how those two were, Nike seemed to wonder what the Atlas were thinking... The content of the story that Atlas was about to explain was what it was all about, so it looks like he decided to leave that catch aside for now.
