Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And the line proceeded (...) from the main entrance through the main street that was piercing the town to the true (...) eh (...) straight (...) gu (...) and came to the front of the tall large church that was at its penetration.

They were combining orphanages there, and they seemed to hear the children's bright voices from inside the building. If you consider that even in the original times you were collecting orphans, this church seems to have been in charity for quite some time now, well before the Boreas Empire could.

But Catalina, who stood in front of such a church, got limp there. She seemed to solidify with her mouth tied in one letter, gazing still at the door that was in front of her.

Theresa, who saw how it was, inquired from beside her.

"Lord Catalina? What's the matter with you? Did you even leave the keys closed? Or did you keep a G on the handle?

".................. no. Neither."

"Then why don't you come in? If we don't go inside, we can't read the book in the library... or we can't be sure when it is now? Well, before you read the book, you might need to ask the library owner to read the book... but it doesn't have to be a development like getting pissed off or being called off, etc. (maybe)"

and Teresa looks up about the tall Catalina, as she always puts her hands on her hips as she mouths.

Catalina, by contrast, said this while staring at the handle part of the door.

"... I'm so scared to open this door"

"Are you afraid to open the door? Does anyone feel like a bad guy is coming out of there?

"No, it's not. At the end of the day when I open this door, I feel like I won't be able to go back..."

"Hmm... I see... So there's nothing wrong with that?

"... Huh?

"If you open this door, you won't be able to come back later, will you? Then we should just move on. On the other hand, if you can't move forward, it might be a big problem... but if it isn't, it's just moving forward as usual."

In response to such Teresa's words, Catalina ——

"... right. I can't believe I can't accept myself for saying that I have seen so many patients during my previous visits who accept reality and move forward................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Excuse me. Let's move on."

—— and when I say it... I hung my hand on the door that was in front of me and tried to open it.

But it is.

Shortly before she opened the door, it seemed as if she had signed up, and on the contrary she began to open it from the door.

Giggy, giggy...

And what came out of it--

"I'm in trouble... I'm in trouble... what do we do... ah... oh, sorry!

—— and with an old sister who speaks... Because of the opening of the door with something in mind, it seems that Catalina thought it was something that caused Catalina to hit the door she had opened herself because of the delay in realizing that the Catalinas were there.

The opposing Catalina didn't seem to hit the door but looked at Sister and turned her eyes round...... And I shrugged about this.

"Yes, Dean..."

Listen to that--

"Er...? Which m....................................... Catalina?!

—— and mouths, sisters who also round their eyes, Dean Tori.

Apparently, it seems impossible to explain in the words that Catalina was to come to this age merely by chance.

"... Was I? That Catalina has grown so big..." Gu

"What do you think...... Maybe the dean's height is just lower, isn't it?

"That's... maybe not, right?

Catalina and the director of the orphanage who had a coincidence (?) reunion. They're in the dean's office right now... So, while I hit the tongue drum on the tea served by the director, I was discussing how it had been so far (a snack). Specifically, talk about Catalina since she left this orphanage, where she has been and what she has done...

In doing so, Catalina made a joke about Dean's height, which was apparently Catalina's mistake. There was a reason for that.

"Anyway, Catalina... that little Catalina was in this hospital until yesterday, and she's been missing since this morning..."

"Missing............ then, could it be that the day I left the orphanage... today..."

"What do you think? But if that's the case, does that mean she won't be back here anymore...?

"... excuse me. Maybe it is. But don't worry, I think you're doing fine somewhere."

"Yeah, sounds like it. I'm relieved to see you."

That said, Dean sipping tea with an extremely satisfying look on his face. It was during that day that the missing child returned as an adult and appeared healthy. I'm not sure how that felt to the dean who had been Catalina's substitute until now, but her expression seemed to tell the story.
