Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And ——

"Ca, Catalina......?

—— Waltz put words on the radio and asked Catalina to convey Julia's proposal. What exactly did she propose to Julia?

"I meant Vega earlier, but I figured... can you wake me up?

As Waltz put it, it seemed to be about waking Vega, king of Alborosa.

'... Also, you're not back on your plan to drink alcohol, are you? If so, you disagree, don't you?

"Yeah, of course not. I thought I'd call on the conscious townspeople to help. Nike just called, and nobody's gonna react, and I can't tell you when things will change in the world tree, so I was just hoping to hurry? So when Vega called me, we talked about how we could do it all at once."

'Is that what you mean......'

Catalina convincingly strikes such an association...... After a little while, I answered to Waltz:

'... Originally Mr. Vega has a peculiar physique in which he can't even live, rather than wake up without a rose in his own body that can't produce magic and supply him with magic from outside his body. And as things stand, there aren't that many roses left, so I have to say they're in pretty unstable shape'.

"Is that... as it is now, you mean you won't wake up?

'That's what I think if you let him drink mana, he'll wake up. But in the present situation, where no new roses are supplied to the castle, if Mana goes to the bottom after she wakes up, she will find herself in a situation of unconsciousness again. By the way, that's for her... what do you think?

"... you're trying to tell me that it's so painful to wake up with you knowing you're unconscious?

'Yes, it's just that she's the lord of one country, and if you think this country is in a crisis situation, maybe you should force it to happen, too. So if Mr. Waltz says it should happen, I'll follow that decision. "

"That... instead of us deciding on our own, it seems better to ask senior government officials in Alborosa, like Messier and the Four Heavenly Kings... So, Catalina? I'll take care of the rest, okay?

'... okay. Mr. Messier is not sleeping due to lack of magic, so I can't wake him up, but the Four Heavenly Kings are in front of him, so I'm going to turn to him for judgment here and proceed with the procedure (I think the answer to return is decided...)'

"I'm sorry. Please..."

That's what I said, waltz trying to cut the comms. But just before that, she seems to have remembered something.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. Speaking of which, Catalina?

'Yes?'

"Julia wants you to hear about the city bond..."

We're getting ready, aren't we? Wouldn't it be long before soldiers arrive with spare magic guides and magic fillers?

"Yes...... ok. Well, I'll tell you what, then, okay?

'Yes, please. If anything happens again, I'll be in touch.'

With that said, it's time for the two of us to finish the correspondence.

Then Waltz turns to Julia and says something like this.

"... so, okay?

"Yes, I don't know. Explain."

"Right. Mostly predictable, but I want to hear it from Waltz's mouth too"

"It just seemed like he was talking to himself..."

"You have no choice..."

Then Waltz put his eyebrows in the letter (c)....... he began to explain to the three of them the content of the conversation he had with Catalina.

A little further away from them, it seems that the bear doll and the Sacubas of Kunikuni were having this conversation.

"Button. I need to ask you something."

"Yes! Whatever!

'It's time for me to get back to work. But then, this bear doll won't be able to move because nobody will be able to operate it. So... in the evening, could you keep this guy for me until I get back?

"Here, take this... bear... me?

"Ah. There's no one here but you... If I ask you, I'm going to be left somewhere, and if I ask my hunter sister, I'm going to be stuffed in my bag with my weapon, and Julia... '

"No, as long as Margaret keeps it, I'll take it around. Rest assured!

'Right... sorry. I'll be grateful...... oops. Looks like someone came to the room d "Atlas ~?' 'Butung

………… Dear Atlas? "

Dahlia leans her neck unintentionally in front of a bear doll that suddenly collapses as a gutter and stops moving.

But she decided, as Atlas put it, to think it stopped because the operation was gone...... I touched the bear's doll with horrible hands, and slowly held it up.

"You're a little dirty..."

That's what Dahlia said, and when she paid off the dust and dirt that was on the bear, she seemed to hold it over her chest, taking care of it as it was.... it's also like a doll I've cherished since I was a little girl.
