Just a little back in time...... Then the perspective also changes.

"... waltz! We're flying!

"Well, that's flying"

Waltz, who left the energy, was flying in the sky with a hunter in his arms. The destination is where the mercenaries Alexandra and the others meet. However, the Waltz didn't know where that was, so they seemed to be flying in the sky for now towards where Alexandra had traveled a few days earlier.

"... the wilderness you can see everywhere... Something like this... seems to wash your mind..."

"Really? (Maybe it's just the hunter, isn't it?

Waltz and the others fly about 500m above the sky with the exchange that From them seemed to see the yellow earth with some ups and downs, and the green everywhere, and the bright blue sky.

... No, there seemed to be something else in sight, to be exact.

"That's a settlement, isn't it?

"... oh, really. Nice find, huh?

"I didn't hunt for Dada."

"... What's the real job?

"Of course he's a hunter"

and a hunter who answers confidently and instantly. It should be noted that her main post is a knight (general), not a hunter.

"Let's just get down. There seems to be nothing else that looks like a settlement..."

"Okay. You're landing."

And rapidly lowering altitude, waltz flying through ground shavings. Afterwards, we were close to the settlement by about 300 m...... They landed, stah, where they would be shady from the settlement.

"Uh, this feeling, with Lucia, reminds me of the first time I stepped down into the town of Alc"

"At that time...... All of a sudden, two non-traveller-like girls arrived, so you were hanging up in the village..."

"... I knew you did?

"Oh, you didn't have a day to not talk about it. No matter where you go, what the waltzes have done today, hunted for something, or made... Everyone was talking about the waltzes."

"Something... seems to have bothered you..."

"That's not true. In a village with no entertainment or anything, rumors were one of pleasure. Besides, the waltzes always acted beyond our imagination... Oh, no, not in a bad way, huh?

"... yeah, largely, I have an imagination of what it's like. But... even though I know that, it doesn't make any difference to my shame."

Waltz smiles bitterly when he says.

Then again, when we're walking around listening to backstories we don't know about... The figure of the settlement, which was visible from the sky, approached me step by step.

"I don't know... you're idle"

"They don't even grow food in such a dry place... Even demons live in (...) eh?

"Is hunting (...) and (...) a sandworm after all?

"... it's good to have dreams!/(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"What?"

"Hmm?"

Waltz and hunters go down the road to the settlement with their necks tilted, feeling each other thin about what seems to make sense and doesn't make sense.

The settlements they have come to are just less than 20 buildings pounding...... Each and every one of those buildings had been made simple, not to say splendid in flattery. As far as that goes, there's no sign of people living there...... Apparently, it's an abandoned village.

"Hassle, or..."

And a hunter who squeals to see what's going on in the settlement.

However, Waltz's judgment seems to have been different.

"No, I think it's clams"

"... you see?

"Yep. Because I feel quite a few signs in the house. Well... if the sun was so sunny and dry, you wouldn't want to come out there. Maybe."

"Maybe..."

"No, I'm not human, am I? So hot, cold, dry or damp, I don't really care...... So I can only imagine how people would feel..."

"Waltz... sorry..."

"No, no, I'm not sure why the hunter apologizes..."

With that said, Waltz closes in on a nearby house and knocks conn on the door that was there. According to her sensors, there appears to have been a biological reaction inside it.

But after a while, no reply...... Looks like Waltz had no choice but to open the door.

"Since I don't seem to hear back... will you excuse me?

"Waltz... you've changed, haven't you?

"What?"

"I don't know before... I feel like every single thing I do was prudent.... No, I'm sorry. I knew I might have been bold from the start..."

"... well, you'll open it for now?

And Gacha, and Waltz, who opens the door. She seems to have opened the door carefully to avoid breaking because she heard the word "cautious" from the hunter just before.

But after this, she will regret her actions.... if you keep your momentum open as usual ——

Ohhhhh!!

Doshan!!

—— I was wondering if I didn't have to be attacked by demons hiding in the house.
