Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When the three of them and Esta came back to town, there were about 10 people there, waiting for them. From the town, there was a peek at the big explosion in the woods, and everyone seemed worried that something might have happened.

Nevertheless, what they were worried about was not about the strangers Lucia.

"Mr. Esta, were you okay?! No way...... even in the war nearby?!

It was a man of disappointed stature who asked so. Out of the outfit, blacksmith, something like that? Others who were on the spot have blued their faces just like him... They all seemed to be harrassed that they might be caught up in the war.

In response to the inquiry, Esta replies with a serious look on her face.

"Yes, no... it's not war.... It seemed like a war..." Boo.

"" "Huh?

"And anyway. Please calm down. Gentlemen, calm down..."

"" "(No, if you say that, Mr. Esta first...)" "

I'm not sure if you thought so, but the town dwellers float with a look of confusion and relief at the same time. Esta's confusion played its part (?) Apparently, people's worries have been fogged. Well, until the question of what happened, it didn't seem clear.

Thereafter their gaze is directed toward Theresa and the others. Most of them were unconscious last night, so they didn't know about the three of them.

"By the way, Mr. Esta. What about them?

In response to that inquiry, Esta gave a seemingly difficult look ——

"... these people are the beards of an earlier explosion n---"

—— and tried to say something that would put Lucia's position at risk... Beatrice blocked her mouth with her hands, Lucia smiled and misled, and Teresa started naming her instead of Esta.

"Aren't the concubines just adventurers? Lord Esta helped me yesterday where I was in trouble because there was no inn..."

"Speaking of which, the inn that was in the square was crumbling... It's like it exploded from the inside..."

"Mm-hmm. That was a terrible situation. No luck at all with the concubines... The inn I tried to stay in is exploding, and today I'm about to get caught in an explosion in the woods... That's right, it's already a dustpan. I don't want to see any more explosions..."

"... I just hope there's no explosion in town."

Theresa speaks that way in a tone that doesn't seem like she's praying from anywhere. At that time, the suspicions of the townspeople seemed to turn to certainty when they saw how Esta, who was beside her, was grinning like she had drawn. i.e. --Inn explodes (?) All the girls in front of us are involved in what we did and the explosion in the woods, he said.

But it's also...

"Yes, yes. I hunted a lot of demons in the woods, so I'd like to ask the Lord to carry them. The concubines alone can't carry... There's no food in town right now, is there? If you could help me, I'd give you a few percent for free."

—— and Teresa switches stories, making her aye free.

If this were normal, the inhabitants of an unconvincing town would have been question-attacking about Theresa and the others. But now, the crisis in town. Even they wanted enough food to get their hands out of their throats.

"Duh, where is it?

"Aren't we ahead? On the main road, you should know as soon as you walk away. I left it on the road, so if you hurry, the other demons might eat you."

With that said, Teresa points to the end of the path she has walked.

Then she adds the words... That makes the field air harder again.

"... but I don't think there are enough people here."

"" "What...?

"Wouldn't you at least need a carriage? That's right... maybe three of them will be enough."

…………

And the people of the town who shut up. Everyone couldn't seem to believe what Teresa said.

But they never got involved in Teresa's words. Not so long ago, the food situation surrounding the town was pressing. Or maybe the children (Teresa who looks like) thought things were exaggerated, etc.

Then, half-heartedly, they walked in the direction Teresa pointed their finger at. Looking at the curse, Teresa seemed to think about it.

"(... could have been too small for three cars. Again, I should have said 10...... no 20......)"

Though I think so, I don't put it in my mouth... Teresa drops off the people of town with Lucia and Beatrice.

It should be noted that Esta did not follow the people at this time and seemed to be dropping them off with Theresa and the others... I'm just going to state why she didn't follow the people in town because that look was quiet.
