Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"He disappeared neglectfully... melted? No way, Nike...... were the demons slime or something?

"That's not supposed to happen. Not at all different from people."

Information brought in by soldiers of the decree. That was, I have to say, quite harsh for the waltzes who were waiting for the demons to recover. Anyway, without the supply of magic by the demons who drank Mana, the prospect that Nike could restore the world tree to its original state would disappear and disappear...

And more importantly, they were unaware of where the devils went.... No, should I describe it this way? I was worried that (...) and (...) disappeared.

"Suppose it didn't melt... disappear like a ghost?

"So let me tell you something? I have no idea who you are. I can't do that."

"Oh yeah............... eh?

"Probably walked on foot or used metastatic magic to move somewhere"

"No, I guess so... (Nike... I wonder what it is...)"

and the Ecology of Nike (?) waltz who held his head about it but didn't ask for anything more. Besides the fact that the question was difficult to ask, Nike kept talking, so I couldn't seem to find the right time to ask.

Afterwards, Nike's guess continues.

"But... the line of metastatic magic would be so high. It is also difficult to imagine that sick relatives would travel purposefully using metastatic magic...... Alternatively, it is possible that the Eclerians in the example are involved, but because the urban community has been revived, they will not bother to come in from outside the town and take their families... No, they cannot. Especially if the people who originally lurked in the junction are hiding, except for the story, but reports of disputes in the town, etc. have not come up..."

"Right...... But then, all the possibilities that seem possible will crumble... I'll gather some information for you, too."

That's what Waltz said, he launched a wireless communication system. Its contact is Julia, who, together with the soldiers, headed to the basement of the square to set up an urban bond.

"... Julia? Wave through?"

And, although Waltz asked with concern that Julia and the others would still be underground and in a place where the waves wouldn't go through --

"Yeah, you heard me, didn't you?

—— Apparently, Julia and the others were back on the ground.

"Now, where?

'The soldiers shared breakfast with me and I was dining with the braves. Oh, of course, buttons...... uh, Dahlia's with you, right? If she did, she'd just dine with the brave man, but she'd be so nervous...'

"Well, you'd be nervous because it's like a natural enemy and an enemy..."

"Yep... So, what's going on?

"How's it going over there... anything unusual?

'What? No... the inclination of the world tree may have increased, so much so that it is rumored among the soldiers. Well, look, I don't know...'

"Oh, yes... As a matter of fact? Soldiers are telling the unconscious demons to drink mana now while distributing mana to the people in town, and they're saying that the demons who drank mana are missing for some reason. Julia... do you know anything about that?

'Did you...? I just found out for the first time'

And, the moment I heard about Waltz, Julia, the voice color changes. Apparently, in her, something switched modes.

Then Julia goes on to say this.

"I'm going to go around collecting information with the brave men soon."

In response to the words of Julia ——

"That's it... don't you have to bother looking into it?

--Waltz shook his head.

'What?'

"You guys have been sleepless for days now, haven't you? I think it's better not to push it any further. We'll move later, so could Julia and the others get some rest?

In response to Waltz's words, Julia --

'No, that's what I'm trying to say...... but I'm aware that my consciousness activity is falling quite a bit, so I'd like to sweeten you up and take a rest'

—— and, without denying it, seems to have decided to accept Waltz's words.

"It would be very helpful for you to accept..."

"Oh, but next time you wake up, it's the afterlife, so please don't let it happen, okay?

"Of course. Well, worst of all, I'll do something about it, so just don't worry about that?

I'm a little scared of the phrase '... "just for that matter”... okay. Best wishes. Goodnight, then.'

Last but not least, Julia, who disconnects radio communications.

Then Waltz tries to get his consciousness back to the Nikes again and talk to them about the cause of the demon clan's disappearance... That's when ——

"... Ugh..."

--Looks like Randy woke up asleep in the guest room.
