Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And another place.

"... sounds like you're sleeping well"

"Is that it? Button...... not, Dahlia, did you like children?

A special temporary sleeping space set up inside the hangar (?) had the appearance of children that Waltz and the others had recovered from Castle Acerdyne. It was the Sacubas Combination of Julia and Dahlia who watched them like that. For Dahlia must magically keep the children asleep until the next day. And it seems that Julia was on the spot as its escort.

"You don't hate kids, do you? What did I ever say I didn't like?

"Is that it? Was it... uh, yeah. You said you didn't like children, Ardelheit."

"Then you know what I mean? Ardelheit, if you were my wife, you'd always scold me about Julia graffiti on the wall, wouldn't you? Well, it's bad for Julia to graffiti..."

"Dahlia, you were always mad at me for using your grandmother's makeup tools on your own, weren't you? Write another mouth on your forehead..."

"Oh, you remembered that so well... But when I think about it, my wife hates children..."

"Maybe it's our fault..."

Two people who say that and point a distant gaze at the ceiling on the spot. At the end of their gaze like that, perhaps, Ardelheit-Shach's face is floating.

"Grandma, are you already born in this age?

"No, you said you weren't old enough, and I just don't think that's it? That means... 1300 +, right? That means you'll be older than Null... and you're a real monster now."

"Even if you're not, you've had enough monsters...... yeah. Well, leave that for now what..."

And when Julia changes the subject to mislead her own words...... I said something like this.

"What can I tell you now... I realized one thing really bothered me. Can I get a consult?

"What? Cursory talk?"

"That kind of story, I'd like to try it because it's good for once... But I'm not. You mean the kids?

"You mean the children?

"Yep... When I first got down to the town of Forn, there was a kid that Catalina was adoring like her sister..."

"Which child?

"No, that's it... I don't see it here."

"... Huh? Wait a minute? That is…"

"Yeah, maybe... no, maybe you couldn't bring me home, could you?

"Oh no..."

That's what I said, Dahlia turning to the sleeping children. But she has never seen the girl for Catalina's sister - Maria... Instead of finding her figure, she didn't even seem to be able to discern.

In response to her like that, Julia keeps saying the words.

"I knew Dahlia wouldn't know..."

"... I don't know how to say that, but I certainly don't know. If we're gonna report it, shouldn't we hurry up? It's gonna be too late, isn't it?

"... right"

That's what I said, Julia, I'll take the radio.

◇

And a few minutes later.

"Sure... doesn't seem to be there"

"Yes..."

Catalina and Waltz are coming to the hangar. So Catalina looks for Maria for her sister, but she can't find her after three rounds of the scene...... She got her head in her arms.

Waltz's decision to see it all seemed early this time. Except ——

"Then we have to go back, right? But I can help you, but I can't get off myself, can I? If I ever see that goddess face to face again... maybe I'll have to fight with all my might..."

—— Though he doesn't seem to get off, as Waltz put it.

Hear that, Sacubas Combine speaks like this.

"Then it's my turn. I'm good at infiltrating softly so I can't find it."

"I'm coming too. And now it's time... to bring you back."

Waltz heard that, but somehow shook his neck to the side.

"But what's so great about it now is that I think you should stop? I think the soldiers are still on guard right now, and not necessarily that goddess is rolling..."

Then Catalina asks with a serious look on her face.

"I'm sorry to be selfish...... can you do anything about it?

"I really wish we could raid... there are too many unclear rules that bind us because of the time jump in past times... If I noticed, Catalina's presence would have disappeared from this world, or I'd hate it too much... So, if you're rescuing a child named Maria, I think it's best to sneak in so that it doesn't affect anyone in this era as much as possible, but I think infiltrating from within is too dangerous. But don't you have to worry about being in such an extreme hurry? I think if we were so vigilant, we'd just be late for slave exchanges..."

…………

"But you're not gonna put that much time away, are you? It's the end of the day to get in. If I could, how would it feel to return the children to the town of Forn in the early morning, and then infiltrate them dignified during the day?

To that waltz proposition--

"... ok"

—— and nodding Catalina. Following her like that, Julia and Dahlia also shook their heads vertically......

One line was to break into Castle Aserdyne again after dropping the children off in the town of Forn.
