Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... I've kept you waiting. Finally finished j............... what happened..."

"If you thought something was noisy, this was what was happening here..."

Teresa and the others with the pot with the curry came all the way to the living room...... There were Esta floating in space by Lucia and three waltzes with blue faces in front of her. As far as that goes, something just seems to have happened between Esta and the three of us that is not just... Teresa and Beatrice seem to have inadvertently doubted their eyes.

"Is Lord Esta alive?

When Teresa asks the people on the spot when she sees Esta looking gutted in the air…. For once, Esta herself, who had regained consciousness, replies while lying in the air.

"Uh... maybe. I just fell in surprise..."

"No way...... So now that you've cooked, are you going to eat?

Lucia penetrates into Teresa's words that

"Hey, Teresa? Isn't that too thin? Aren't you gonna ask me what's going on?

"Did Miss Lucia do something again... or did Lord Esta see Lord Shuba or something and even graduate?

"Ugh... it fits..."

"You can predict a lot. But if there's a problem, I wonder if Lord Esta has an appetite..."

And I said, again, when Teresa turned her gaze to Esta--

"I have an appetite. And then... I have my doubts. It's also massive..."

--She answered looking complicated. They are floating on Lucia, Cheval comes out of Catalina's sleeve, Teresa and the others bring a pot that smells delicious...... To her, there seemed to be a lot of confusion.

"Well, it's gonna be a long story, so you're gonna answer me while I eat?

"Right...... Okay, I'll put it down, okay?

"Yes, please"

And Esta was unraveled by the gravity-controlled magic she was receiving from Lucia... For the first time in decades, he went down to the ground.

◇

While serving the curry on a plate with Teresa and Beatrice.

"............"

"I'm sorry about earlier, Mr. Schwartz. I'm disturbed..."

Esta was apologizing to Cheval this time after asking questions about Lucia's gravity-controlled magic. Apparently, she is sorry to see Schwartz fall... The opposing Schwartz doesn't seem to care about this (?).

To that evidence ——

".................." Probably.

—— and Schwartz waving his neck-like protrusion sideways.

After seeing him like that, Esta lowered her chest...... Keep going ——

"Mr. Schwartz..."

"............"?

"... no, nothing"

—— and I say something, and I mumble along the way. Apparently, he decided it was rude to say the words ahead of him.

On the other hand, Catalina, Schwartz's guardian, seemed to have guessed almost exactly what Esta was trying to say. I've seen Schwartz before, and I've seen people reacting the same way, so I seem to know immediately what she's trying to say. Catalina turned to Esta and said the words.

"Who are you, you want to be asked?

"Uh............... yes. I've never seen anyone like Mr. Schwartz..."

"Yeah, I know how that feels, and I think that's natural. We don't even know who Cheval is."

"You know... you're not here?

"No harm done. Food is the same as people, they sleep like everyone else, and they rejoice. You can't speak words, but you can write letters and communicate with them, right?

"What?!

You didn't think you could communicate, when Esta rounded her eyes and was surprised... I was sitting in a chair next to Catalina (?) Schwartz nudgedly took the A4 size sketchbook out of nowhere and started writing something there.

Then he shows the contents to Esta.

It's Schwartz.

"What..."

Is there a problem with the way elementary school looks?

"Yes, no..."

[We pride ourselves on being human even when we look like this. Slightly different shape, never mind]

"Ah, yes..."

[Let's have a bitter greeting around here and make it a meal. Elementary school students, I'm hungry...]

"... Um... Mr. Catalina? Cheval, really, who are you?

Esta asks Catalina, in masterful letters, before Schwartz, who writes words that do not match their appearance, with a different expression than just before.

Catalina, who was ahead of that gaze, shook her head softly --

"... Cheval is Cheval. However, Cheval seems a little nervous today.... Come on, let's eat too. Because it's best eaten while it's hot."

—— and does not answer Esta's question...... He took the spoon with Cheval, who came out of his white coat.
