Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... by the way, can I ask why you were in a drawer cage in the house?

"... I don't really want to say it, but it would leak out of someone's mouth where I hid it... Actually..."

With a bitter look on his face...... Alexandra began to reveal to the Waltz why they were inside the settlement house where the Ghosts were.

"Me... no, we all don't like ghosts. I'd rather see him say he's good at ghosts."

"So you were hiding to get away from the Ghosts, you mean?

"In conclusion, you're right. There is no objection. But we also have mercenary pride, so let me just say excuses... those ghosts are troublesome people who sprang right out of the neighborhood even if they knock them out... I couldn't beat him, so he was hiding. He's disappearing now, but I think he'll spring up again in time, huh?

"... I mean, the opponent is weak, but it springs up infinitely, and because the opponent's attack is an attack, it's too much trouble to fight, right?

"Oh. If I could, I'd like to move out of this place, but I haven't joined the detached guys yet. When that happens, I'll have to choose between fighting all the time or hiding until my people arrive... because if you fight, you'll wear out, and you'll get injured... That's why we talked about hiding. If I were to analogize... it might be similar to caging a castle even though I don't know if reinforcements are coming. So --"

That's what Alexandra said, and as she rose from the rubble of the building where she was sitting, she gave her right hand and said this, grinning at the waltz.

"Thanks for the help. Thanks."

"No, never mind..."

So when I pull the hunter who was lying down, Waltz lets him stand between himself and Alexandra. Apparently her level of embarrassment is the limit point (?) They've gone beyond.

Instead of such waltz, the hunter shook Alexandra's hand...... I started waving that hand with a boom.

"I'm really glad you're safe, Alexandra. If anything happens to Alexandra, it's gonna be tough!

"Oh, yeah? But...... somehow, you look a lot happier? Hunter."

"I'm so glad. Actually, we were looking for Alexandra."

"Hmm? About us?... Speaking of which, why are the hunters here?

In response to Alexandra's query, the hunter replied with a full grin.

"That's because, of course, Alexandra and I had some errands to run. But to Alexandra and the others as mercenaries, be!/(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"Well... let me out. If you let me out, I'll take care of the job. For once, I'm a benefactor, so even if it's a job that sucks to some extent, I'll talk to you. But... you look so happy, huh? What kind of job would you bring me to smile like that? At least it's not a cage fight like this one..."

"Cage Castle battle... yeah. It's not weird to say."

"... if you can, just the ghost opponents don't give a shit?

Alexandra laughs bitterly when she says that. Nevertheless, that was her own joke, and even if it were a cage fight for the Ghost opponent, it seemed like she was going to undertake it, if only they could pay her wages.

But there is a level of work that any human being can undertake. And in this case, the level of work the hunters ask Alexandra to do is ——

"No, it's not that hard. I'm going to build a town, so I need security there.... the consul with you?

"I can't."

—— Looks like Alexandra was way beyond acceptable range of work.

◇

"... Well, I see what's going on. Protect the town by the name of South Fortress...... No, you say it will, right? That, too, after a lot of money.... That's all I smell now..."

After asking the hunter and waltz to explain South Fortress. Alexandra, who honestly shows a difficult color.As far as the two of us are concerned, apart from the word consul, there seemed to be nothing bothering me about this... That seemed to have caught on to her intuition on the contrary.

"No, no, there's nothing wrong with that? Just a little bit of an easy job protecting the town, huh? Hey? Hunter."

"Oh, you're right. Light enough to kick the humans and the dragons in a little attack and make a name for themselves in history. Alexandra's about ready for breakfast, right?

"I can't."

"" Eh... "

"No, I can't do anything I can't.... What do you guys think of me?

"Well..."

"Well..."

"" Alexandra?

"... what kind of creature is Alexandra in your head..."

So, Alexandra sighs deeply.

Then again, Alexandra's persuasion by Waltz and the hunter (?) goes on, but words can't convince me inside... Their siege battle seems to have extremed difficulty.
