Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Alicia, the innkeeper's daughter, delighted to talk about what could be described as "madness". As a result, Teresa never cut out her will, knowing that she should not be near her any more.

"Well... it's time to go. I wonder if leaving Bear alone would be a good idea."

"What... are you leaving already? If you believe in the goddess, you're going to die of illness... but you're not going to get sick yourself..."

When Teresa says she's going home, Alicia hurries up and tries to stop her. Because she was desperate to hold back, her remarks were gradually beginning to break...... He had spoken of something different from what he had just said.

"(Why go so far and try to stop the concubines?... Is this guy expecting someone too? Then... we have to hurry. I have a bad feeling.)"

Is it also something of concern, Teresa stood up ignoring Alicia's inquiry? Plus Lucia goes on.

"I'm sorry, Miss Alicia. It's a time limit."

"Time...... limit?

What the hell is the time limit...... Alicia gave a bewildered look. As far as that reaction is concerned, apparently she knows that Beatrice's disease won't get any worse.

Theresa, who saw it, exhaled in a great sigh...... At the end of the day, I uttered a statement that crossed the line.

"No, we have to go. Did you take care of him?... Miss A (...) L (...) T (...)."

...... alto. That is the name of the fellow who was accompanying him when the Endels boy visited [the town of Forn], the home of Catalina, as a [brave man]. It was the name of the wizard girl. The Endels boy had two companions, of which the Great Sage had shown himself before the Waltz, but the Wizard had so far disappeared. Teresa, who knew about it, had predicted that it might be time to be raided somewhere.

There are several reasons why she came to such an idea. Among other things, the biggest reason was in the characteristics of the disease that was spreading in this town.

It was that a normal illness could not be biologically or physically, such as attacking a host without a latency period. Besides, the fact that only those who believed in the goddess survived also confirmed that it was not just a disease. Or, as Beatrice said, is there a possibility of "poison," which is also no. Evidence of this is that during the day, the people of the town who were gathered in the same place fell only partially, not all of them.

Then why have the people of the town, only some of them, fallen? From there on ahead is Theresa's hypothesis. That is, because --selective killings were carried out by nanomachines made by the goddess.

The Endels boy was given a nanomachine by the goddess Deprexa and was subjected to something like a curse to become a pseudo-" god ". That should probably be the same for the Great Sage and for the Wizard girl Alto...... If Alto had become a pseudo-god, it wouldn't have been strange to manipulate a nanomachine.

In other words, here's Theresa's hypothesis. … If the inn daughter "Alicia" is the wizard girl "Alto", then all things will be explained….

In fact, it seems to have been what she expected. It just wasn't everything that I expected.

"What... how did you get my name..."

Teresa thought Alto knew who they were and had raided them. But Alto's surprise isn't what Teresa expected...... It told the story of Alto not knowing who Teresa and the others were.

Finally, Teresa and the others, by chance, visited this town and came to this inn, where Alto is lurking, under accidental attack by a nanomachine...... And by chance, Alto liked it.

Multiple overlapping [coincidence]. But if coincidence overlaps too much, they call it [inevitable] in the world. And their encounter was exactly what we could say [inevitably]...... Neither Theresa nor Alto at this time seemed to realize that fence, which should also be described as destined to surround ourselves.

Well, as for taking up all that...

"............ right. I asked the goddess, but let me tell you something."

Teresa, who still perceived Alto to be confused, had chosen an unusual word and was about to proceed so that she could retreat from the scene in peace. Since Beatrice was still asleep, he wanted to withdraw the scene, not contending as much as possible.

If we call ourselves acquaintances of the goddess Deprexa, how can we cut through... Seems I've thought about such cheap things.

Then she walked out without even hearing Alto's response ——

"Go. Miss Lucia."

—— and I hang my hand on the inlet of the inn...

".................. I won't let you get away"

Come here, Teresa's plan starts to go wild. A cursed wizard girl, Alto, who becomes "God."

Gürn!!

—— Teresa and Lucia, and toward Beatrice, they stripped the fangs of what they called magic.

The magic she used was to grow thorns from the ground, thereby intertwining and restraining Theresa and the others. It is a so-called bind-based magic used to capture monsters and other prey alive.

As for Theresa, if powerful fire magic or something flew in, it seemed like a sturdy self was going to be the shield and prevent it. Anyway, her body today is almost identical to Cortex, which can also be described as man-made manoeuvre armor. Worst of all, even with Lucia's magical direct hit, a few shots should be bearable.

But there was a miscalculation there. Being a wall means taking a direct hit of magic... As a result, Teresa and the others missee a chance to get out of restraint magic and are about to be captured by alto magic themselves.

But...... The "unexpected" thing seems to come down to us all unbiased and equal ——

Bassi!!

—— The magical crawl that was about to strike Teresa and the others is held back by the "invisible wall" in front of them. That too, with a voice like this.

"… it is unacceptable that I (my) Teresa should be able to help.... Never!

That's what I said, Beatrice slowly descending to the ground. She came here and woke up unconscious.
