Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz, who turned again to Ardelheit, said to her:

"Hey. I just wanted to ask you, do you have kids or something?

"What? No..."

"So, what about the family? Parents, for example."

"No, I'm not. Er... what is it..."

"If you're not there, it's fine. Instead, I was really worried about what I would do..."

"What?"

"Well, let's get straight to it... you, be the dean here. 'Cause I'm gonna turn my hand around so I can be Dean."

"Is... yes?

"I know you do, but the orphanage here, the brave men have killed Dean and Sisters... and I'm having a hard time running out of manpower right now. So, bad luck k... you're the one who's lucky enough to get by? Perhaps once every 1300 years, my lady. Why don't you do it?

"Hey, um... sorry. I'm not sure what you're talking about..."

Suddenly Waltz tells me to do the director of the orphanage, and I'm confused about Ardelheit. She was the one who attacked and failed the Waltz and conceived what punishment would fly, but I can't imagine (?) Because the words flew in, she seemed to have nothing but confusion.

Guess what, Waltz added the words.

"Well, if you really don't want to, you won't be forced, will you? I don't think there's anything worse than a job I don't like, and even the kids don't like it... But when you're the dean here, I can assure you that you won't have to struggle with food and clothing? If you had a decent life, at least, maybe a thousand years would be okay?

Listen to such a waltz solicitation ——

…………

—— Ardelheit seems to have begun to think quietly about what he thought.

And after a while of thinking about it. The words she uttered ——

"... May I have a moment?

—— was a word for time.

◇

"... can you really make Dean Ardelheit? Mr. Waltz."

"Hmm... I think I might be losing track of it..."

The waltzes were changing places and walking inside the church. Now they were in the dining room that should be busy with awake children, not the cathedral...... He seemed to be coming to see the faces of the children who were supposed to have a cheerful look while eating breakfast there.

... it was supposed to be.

"" "………" "more than

But in fact, there is no laughter in the children's faces...... Almost all of the Sisters are smiling at me, too... The colours of tiredness were hidden from everyone's expression. After all, the loss of Dean Vixen, the girl who still won't return, and the events that were ahead of her abduction and the tragedy that happened inside this church seemed to have eroded everyone's mind.

Such a sight--

…………

—— Ardelheit watched with his eyes narrowed.

I came to this occasion in the first place because Ardelheit himself said he wanted to look around the church. When I became director of this church and orphanage, what I had to protect myself...... She seemed to want to sort it out.

However, the status quo was less fragrant for Waltz, who suggested that Ardelheit be seated as dean. As for her, she seemed intent on giving Ardelheit a good impression about this church by showing her energetic children with a bright grin, but the reality is the opposite...... There was an atmosphere that literally couldn't resist. At this point, the Waltz seemed desperate to see Ardelheit as dean.

And time flows......

Did you get your thoughts sorted out, Ardelheit said this to the waltzes as they looked at the children who were not well?

"... To be honest, I don't like children"

"" "What..." "

"Since I was a little girl, I've looked after (...) other children in this (...)"

"What... could it be you..."

"I said I don't have a family because —— I'm an orphan, too."

"You were..."

Waltz turns his gaze to the person who was next door while saying so. Katarina, who was there, is also from this orphanage, so if you think about her age, would it mean that Ardelheit is a senior, or sister?

So Catalina seemed to have listened quietly to Ardelheit.... Yes. Her expression of intent did not end with words that she did not like children.

"I especially hate to see Uzi children. I feel like I'm looking at myself one day... But... that's why I know something. Why is the child in a quarrel...... Most of the time, children are not bad... the bad thing is the adult who took the smile away from the child..."

That said, one step and two steps forward...... Ardelheit said in a voice that was audible to everyone as well as the Waltz.

"I'm sure that's... what I'm doing now. I'm guilty of the same thing. This way, I just don't think this world needs an adult who can only feel sorry for children. So... because I don't want to be such an adult... I'm going to take your story.... to fill this orphanage with a smile"

That's what I said. Ardelheit looks back and turns his smile towards Waltz.

I saw that. Catalina was smiling too...... As a result, Waltz is ----.
