Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Zorro Zorro......

"Everybody, where are you going..."

Those of the devil tribe who do as if they were zombies, walk on the road with flirting, and head somewhere. Waltz, who could not be stopped when he left the guest room about them like that, seemed to have been walking with him to keep an eye on the trend.

On the spot, by the way, are the hunters, Catalina, Yuki, Nike and Lucia still in blast sleep...... Besides, with a small number of Alborosa soldiers, he seemed to be watching the devil tribe for their unusual behavior.

However, there was no sign of Vega and the Four Heavenly Kings. Unrejectable (?) The same goes for the doctor stop, but sometimes the Chancellor's Messier didn't wake up... They wait in the castle —— no, they do what needs to be done.

"... As I said earlier, the destination is probably the World Tree. As we walk down this path leading to the tree, it will be obvious. More importantly, Randy, the liquor store's daughter, was full of world trees. Perhaps everyone who walks here is the same and has some influence from the tree because of its magical connection to the world tree"

And, in response to Waltz's twinkle, Nike answers.

Then, as he noticed something, Waltz frowned and said this.

"Then... how can Nike not be conscious like the rest of us? It's the same thing you do when you interact with the world tree, isn't it?

"Sure, that's right, but the rest are administrators, not always joining the circle of magic supply and consumption. Especially now, because of the state of waiting for the magic of the families to fill up, the rest of the magic is cut off from both the families and the world trees. Probably because of that it didn't affect me."

"That's the thing...... So, if you make a mistake, maybe you'll take Nike's consciousness too?

"... I can't say anything, but I can't deny it. I don't know what's going to happen because this is the first time I've done this before."

"If you suck, your plan will go broke..."

and waltz to put his hand on his jaw with a difficult look on his face, imagining the worst that Nike might get taken over by a world tree. If it did what she expected, the plan of controlling the demonic powers of the devils to correct the attitude of the world tree would fall into discontinuity.

As a result, Waltz suggested this to Nike.

"Until Randy's consciousness returns, no magic tricks, right?

Then Nike heard it, what did he think--

"... you'll worry about the rest, won't you? ♪ Poop

—— and, embarrassed, began to say that.

By the way, she is covered in black veil-like magic that blocks all light, not the original white figure, because the sun was rising to a pretty high position. That seems to be her exclusive sunscreen magic living in a world tree...... Because of that, her expression seemed to be in an impenetrable state.

I imagined the look on Nike's face on the inside of such a veil--

"I only feel signs, but I only have a bad feeling..."

—— and I'll say it... The word never seemed to reach Nike.

Because the leader of the group reached the world tree that was at the end of the road.

"Are we finally here... Okay, how do we get out...?

"I don't know... I have a bad feeling about this one, too, so should I force myself to stop it?

"I just stopped, and if I had to extract magic from my body again, or cut my consciousness, I would be in the same behavior again. Still think you should stop it?

"... right. What do you think Catalina should do?

and waltz asking Catalina, who was walking behind.

Then Catalina replied, shaking her head.

"I'm opposed to being forced to take out magic. If I do that, I can't predict what will happen to people who have been stripped of their magic. I don't even know how much you can pull out, you can stop interference from the world tree... and you can't deny that if you do poorly, you could take your life. Besides, we're talking in the first place... I don't know how to extract magic, do I? Of course, if Nike tries hard enough to be prepared to take over consciousness by the world tree, we might be able to figure it out..." Chi

"... um. You can't be reckless like that."

"Well, you will..."

"I mean, there's only so much left to look at right now. Damn, that's ridiculous..."

With that said, Nike turns his worrying gaze to those of the Satanic tribe, his own family.

And at last, the leaders of the devils approach the trees of the world at a distance --

"" "............ eh?!

—— The phenomenon that arose shortly afterwards seemed something that no one on the spot would have expected.
