Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

While the brave men are searching around the ship to find Leah, who's gone. One of the hunters was coming to Catalina's office. So I tried to explain the situation to Catalina and get some advice.

Gashon!

"Oh, Catalina, are you there?

and a hunter who calls on Frank to head inside the office. But unlucky, in the room, there didn't seem to be any Catalina.

That doesn't mean there was nobody there, though. Answered the hunter's call on Catalina's behalf by ——

"No, sir."

—— It was Yuki looking like she was still fighting the paperwork today.

"Where have you been?

"Looks like you're making something with Master Waltz, right?

"Well...... then you have no choice. Sorry to interrupt."

That's all I'm saying, hunters trying to put the spot behind them.

Towards her back like that, Yuki asked.

"Can I help you?

"Hmm? Ah...... When it comes to trouble, it's trouble..."

"If it's okay with me, I'll talk to you, okay?

"Really? So, you got a minute?

"Yeah, of course. Please hang it here. I'll get you some cookies now, okay?

Yuki puts together a sappy collection of documents that were scattered on her desk, and then takes a seat. Apparently, she's trying to make some tea with the cookies.

See how it goes, the hunter goes in to stop it.

"Sorry, Yuki. I'm in a bit of a hurry. No cookies."

"Really..."

"So I say straight to the point. Actually... things are weird with Leah."

The moment I hear the hunter's words, Yuki's expression changes.

"Mr. Leah is weird...? What happened?

"Is that it? He was so hungry, he came to the cafeteria to pick up a meal... I don't know why he was so hungry, but he bit me in the hand of Beatrice."

"Eh."

"No, I was surprised, too. As much as I thought you started eating Beatrix like a zombie at first. But according to Beatrice, he just got his hands stuck and sucked on blood and magic. Well, it's a subtle thing whether it's appropriate to describe it as" just "... I'm talking about being like a vampire"

"Vampires, are you..."

Even in this world, a vampire was supposed to be a species that existed only in the story. Because of this, Yuki seems to have frowned upon the words of the hunter, even though he knew it was a story.

By the way, vampires in this world are not considered vulnerable to sunlight or suspicious because they are considered to be the kind of species on the Sacubus extension line. Well, the magic seems strong.

"Well, at this point, let's put aside the vampire story. What I wanted to ask was what happened to Beatrice's body. Can you tell me what possibilities you can think of because anything is fine?

"Is that what you mean..."

Yuki said so, thinking for a little while. I'm thinking about what happened to Beatrice's body, because it is, but more than anything else, he seemed to be worried about whether it was good to say his opinion here.... If I make an irresponsible statement here, when something happens to Leah later, I wonder if it's going to be a big problem.

But Catalina wasn't here, and it looked like the hunter was in a hurry to contact her and get her opinion... Looks like Yuki decided to give an explanation after she prefaced herself.

"... please take this as my personal opinion"

"Oh, okay. I don't know anything about it."

"(Do you really understand...)"

"So?"

"... Mr. Leah was being attacked by an unusual hunger, wasn't he?

"Oh, looks like it"

"If you had eaten breakfast well but you were in such a situation, it could be because of intense exercise, loss of magic, etc., and loss of nutrients from your body all at once. Hungry conditions depend on the amount of sugar in your blood… er, the amount of sugar dissolved in your blood, so if you suffer from a condition such as diabetes that cannot adjust this sugar content, you will experience symptoms such as severe hunger or faint consciousness. And then... oh, I was"

…………

"Mr. Leah should have the physique that because she has a disease where magic comes out of her body, magic comes out of her body even if she leaves it alone, and with that she loses her nutrients.... That's awkward to think about. I don't think it's weird when you fall. For once, you should bring me here. That too, as soon as possible. Where is she now?

"That's it... he's missing."

"Gone... eh..."

"I hear you were shocked that you held Beatrice's hand... When I tried to protect him, he got poked in the gap and ran away. Now I'm looking for Leah with the brave men and the Beatrices."

When I heard the hunter say ——

"Hey... Hey, I definitely need to find that!

—— Yuki stood up with her face bright blue. It was so horrible that Leah was hungry.
