Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When the sun leaned and the area darkened. BBQ also became authentic, and the sandy beach was buzzing with those who enjoyed the meal. Others, such as those who made an impromptu open-air bath a little further away and were salt and sweating attached to their bodies…. Everyone seemed to enjoy a short holiday to the best of their ability.

Almost all of those crew members were looking up at the sky. Because there was this reason.

Hiuuuuuuuuu!!

Hiuuuuuuuuuu!!

Hiu... Boo hoo...

Those who can use fire magic fly fireballs of the kind that burst into the sky, manpower fireworks (?) because they were launching.

Initially when they started launching fireworks, they all seemed, somehow, to be launching, with the same perception of throwing stones at rivers and lakes. But gradually, the force comparison, speed comparison, beauty comparison... Soon it seems to have developed into a full-scale fireworks competition. It may be possible to say that the development of the area is the same as draining by throwing stones.

On the other hand, those who could not use fire magic seemed to enjoy watching the brightness of bursting fireballs because they had no intention of participating in the Games. Well, in part, the fire magic launched by the unfriendly --

"I'm coming. Whoa! ♪ Piuuuuuuu ♪

"Whoa, sorry, Sophie. My hand slipped!" Bun......

"I'm sorry, Catalina. I can't use fire magic to show this in front of you. I don't know if it's just disgusting." Hiuuuuu.

"Yeah, I'm blind," Kang!

—— and so on, some seemed to obstruct. Well, I'm not saying who.

At such a fireworks show, rather than just competing for the power of launch, the winner was to be appreciated for his beauty and size, his power and so on, and the crude was to be sent by Waltz. It was unclear what would be sent, but everyone seemed to be sparing no effort and competing for the power of fire magic for that prize.

"Well, maybe I'll go with Eve."

Hiuuuuuuuuuuu!!

"... isn't she magical other than that girl?

"That seems to be more than just simple fire magic, it's a composite use of wind magic, water magic, etc. The magic itself isn't that great, but it's a great idea to make a big performance with little magic ~. It's highly technical ~?

and Waltz and Cortex looking up at the sky and scoring while arranging for a BBQ table set up in the center of the venue.

By the way...... During the day, the Waltz had confirmed the effect of the artifact enchanted by Lucia, but the results did not seem very fragrant. It was more scattered than that, should I say? There was no remnants of magic, no physical changes could be observed, no changes in the surrounding time, and so on, for the sake of taking the time to examine, no useful data was obtained. For that reason, the two of them seem to have stuck to the skewers of the BBQ, forgetting about half their self-infliction and their purpose of returning to the future world.

"Aren't you better off winning Eve already? I think it's impeccable, though?

"No ~. Eve is a rival around Atlas with me. Words such as sending salt to competitors. So you have a minus 100 political points."

"Hey, Cortex? Political dots, items, they're not here? ♪ Pilapira ♪

"I just made it ~" Hey.

"Oh, yeah..."

With that said, waltz to fill in the remarks section of the evaluation form that I had, plus 100 points on the political point. Even apparently just waltz, for reasons that don't make sense (?) It seems to have become pathetic about Eve, who will be treated unfairly in... Note that it is unclear whether Cortex really filled in a minus 100 points as a political point.

Then again, those who are confident in fire magic launch fire balls into the sky... The night sky was finally engulfed in pitch-black darkness.

Waltz frowns for some reason as he looks up at the bright fireworks rising into the sky like that.

"... Hey, Cortex. After all, something missing?

"What are you talking about ~?

"I don't know... here's the thing... there's a sense of absence... Are you saying you're missing what you're supposed to be... maybe this sign, the future, has been rewritten?

"No, even if it's been rewritten, it shouldn't be possible to observe, so I don't think so ~?... Sounds like you're all done. It's Lucia's turn at the end."

The end of the festival. Lucia, who possesses more powerful magic than anyone else, is set to launch the closing fire magic into the sky. It should be noted that she may not be able to attend the launch fireworks evaluation meeting because she is too magical, and the Inari sushi is supposed to be presented without any reason.

"Finally, Lucia, I'm leaving!

And Lucia put her hand against the sky. Then, from the space around her, a shooting star-like white light point gathers around her with that hand. Apparently, she did everything in her power to fire magic (?) Looks like he's going to release it.

Look at that, the waltz is unexpectedly frivolous.

"Hey... wait a minute! Lucia. If we fire it... this planet won't perish, will it?

"Yeah? The magic is loud and sounds n---"

It was right after that.

Piwin!!

A tall sound, as if playing a strained string, echoes around. Lucia's fire magic was unleashed into the sky, turning up a sound that I didn't think was fireworks.

There were two main reactions of those who watched it. Imagine what's about to happen, the warriors of fear. Or two kinds of people who, like children who know nothing, were just shimmering gaze into the sky.

Should I say fortunate for the former among them...... The fire magic unleashed by Lucia did not burst after a while. Her fireball, which would have vanished beyond the speed of sound to the other side of the dark sky, would have gone so far away over time that the longer it took to explode, the safer it could have been.

Waltz was also one of those who had concerns about Lucia's fire magic. Looking up at the sky, she seemed to hold her chest down as if to relieve herself in front of a fireball that wouldn't burst inside.

Right after that.

...... pikaaaa!!

A dazzling light covered the sky without sound. The color of that flame, which arose in the pitch-black sky, was blue white. Apparently, Lucia's fire magic burst in space.

The way it looks is like --,

"... ahhh!

"Duh, what have you done ~? Sister ~?

"Yes, I just noticed! From the sky... the moon is gone..."

"" "... eh..." "

—— It seemed like it was like the light of the moon that had been neglected and gone since the day experiment.
