Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... if you say you can't really rule South Fortress... we'll have to make a fait accompli now.... this town is a mercenary, Alexandra is a town built by people, you tell people in town?

"No... you know what?

"Oh, that's a good idea. Let's then ask the pedestrians and adventurers who came to town to spread the story in various places. If you help me, I'll lower my taxes to get into town, and say, don't think everyone will be happy to spread the word!

"... well... this is the joke I hear in the sound..."

The first mayor of South Fortress (?) Waltz and the hunter's persuasion that he was about to be entrusted with, but Alexandra refused to do so, escalating step by step. Those two words seemed to be slowly narrowing Alexandra's escape route.

"But then you'll have the extra money you were going to pay Alexandra..."

"Why don't we just add it to the town budget?

"Oh, okay? That's a lot of money..."

"But you're in trouble... Now, if you give a bunch of money to the people waiting for you in South Fortress, you're gonna run out of it all, right? Worst case scenario, just hold the money, it could get tricked..."

"Right...... I have nothing to say if someone, someone solid, manages the money..."

"……………"

".................. ha. Why are you trying to get me to head the town? You have as many other suitors as you want, don't you? Burn the nobles around here and they'll all be happy to start building a town..."

"No, nobody else is good enough to rule that town. It's just Alexandra."

"And that's all I can say for sure?... that the town you ruled will thrive forever."

"It's like I've seen the future... No, you're telling me because I know..."

Seeing such an enlightened Alexandra's reaction, the waltzes smiled quietly. Though that was not a clear affirmation, it seemed to Alexandra that the two of them had given their assent.

Because of that, Alexandra begins to expose herself in her mind.

"To be honest... I don't want to go back to that place. That South Fortress is gonna be built on the other side of the plain across the mountain range there, isn't it?

"Yep."

"Ah."

"My hometown is a small village, in the woods on the other side of the mountains... actually fighting with the village chief there. He's disgraced, so when we're on the other side of that mountain range, we're just gonna have to face each other one day. I don't think so, but he's a real pain in the ass..."

"... by the way, is that village building a big castle or something? I don't know what to say... the one that doesn't feel right in the woods."

"Whoa, you know me well? Do you still have it in the future? Well, that's right. The people in our village, only their vitality is strong in vain..."

"Oh, yeah... (duh, what do I do... I can't tell you...)"

It cannot be said that those who had been caught had caused the building known as "Demon King's Castle" to collapse, to name but a few that had moved it to South Fortress... Waltz had an unexpectedly difficult look on his face.

Then you realize that, the hunter starts talking on Waltz's behalf.

"If what, why don't we just boost our forces in South Fortress and destroy the village?

And a hunter who speaks as he remembers the legend.

By the way, the legend is that the ancestors of the Alexandros family (Alexandra), expelled from the village, will settle with the villagers after making South Fortress. If that legend could be fulfilled, the process along the way seemed even less important to the hunter.... Yes, because "reconciliation" is not necessarily the result of a moderate discussion...

"No, it's not like the village chief hates me, and the villagers don't hate me either."

After hearing Alexandra's words like that, the hunter mouths her own thoughts after thinking "hmm".

"Well, after all, you should be the mayor of South Fortress"

"… hunter. Did you hear what I said so far?

"No, if Alexandra becomes the mayor of the town and creates a fine town, I wonder if the village mayor doesn't matter if he exists. Alexandra is the mayor of a big" town "against the mayor of a village who can only make" village "about how hard he worked. If you want them to say goodbye, you can stand on the same mound and show them the difference in overwhelming power. Don't you think?

"... like the hunter showed me?

"Hmm? What are you talking about?

"... no, nothing"

Alexandra sees the hunter's casual reaction and shows a strangely convincing reaction. Apparently, at that moment, her heart is broken.... No, exactly, it was broken a few days ago, should I say?

"... ok. That South Fortress could be the head of town."

………… "" Pfft.

"But! Can you pay me properly? If you do bad things, you'll sneak up to the last generation, right?

"Ooh!

"(Looks like I can really...)"

and against Alexandra, hunters and waltzes who shake their heads vertically over and over again. Thus they put a calculus on Alexandra to sit on the seat of the mayor of South Fortress.

But...... The story didn't end here.

Bun......

Out of nowhere, I thought I heard that bass--

"I've seen terrible things......" Slow down.

A woman appeared on the spot. That also looks lame.
