Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... you don't? Lord Hunter, I don't think so."

"Yeah... right..."

"I told you not to hunt, but I can't believe it's" meat "..."

"Hunter, terrible!/(adv, vs) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"Chi, no! I didn't, I just wanted to say that the bird is a bird named" Nik "!

The hunter elucidated desperately. The bird there was undoubtedly a bird of the species Nik...... Because the official name is Yamanik.

The name, however, was not generally known. For, at any rate, a bird of the species Nik was extremely ferocious and powerful enough to hunt the other way round about the adventurers trying to hunt them. The so-called dead have no mouth.

Thus, Nik and the others were birds extremely close to fictional beings. industry of that hand, such as hunters (?) Only those who live in knew Nik existed. It should be noted that the meat is very tasty and appears to be treated as a luxury ingredient enough to be super attached.

It's just... Except for Catalina (Jr.), because once I encountered Molinik, a type of Nik, and was briefed by the hunter--

"Uh, speaking of which, I think some birds with that name..."

"Sure, there was a bird with that ridiculous name..."

"Yeah, you heard the explanation when you were traveling through Boreas."

—— In the words of the hunter, everyone seemed to recall the presence of Nik.

"Ho, really?

"Yeah. It's delicious."

"This, Miss Lucia! You mustn't talk about eating!

"... Theresa is similar..."

"Ugh......" puffy

Catalina wanted to cry. Fulfilling, I was wondering if I had an ally, and if I could leave here and show Nik to the hunter... Apparently it seemed to her that all those on the spot saw Nik as "meat".

and then --,

"I've seen terrible things!

".................." Kiri

—— To the cave where they were, two come: Leah and Catalina (Greater). In time, Leah, although she had come in cold proof clothing, Catalina (Large) was always wearing the same white coat…. It was as if the wind were flowing as the wind and snow avoided around her. Rather than, should I describe it as wind and snow flowing to avoid the junctional magic she's unfolding?

"Everybody okay?

"Looks fine to me how I saw it...... what's wrong with you? This air…"

In Leah and Catalina (Great), who came to the cave, it seemed as if those who were in the cave were somehow blaming Catalina (Small).

Then Catalina (Jr.) speaks of this towards Catalina, the big one who admires her sister, as if to ask for help.

"Bixen, sister! Everybody's trying to eat about this girl!

""... this child?

Leah and Catalina tilted their necks in alignment. Because they came here thinking there were Griffon children in the cave. He therefore wondered why the hunters were trying to eat about the children of Griffon, and seemed confused.

However, the confusion is also resolved by the fact that the smaller Catalina moved the scene.

"Piggy......" Puffy

"I see... Nik, right?

Leah narrowed her eyes when she saw Nik's chick shaking with a pull on the nest. Being an adventurer, she has suffered the exorcism of Violent Nik many times before. For that reason, or even looking at a chick that didn't look like or even look like an adult Nik, it immediately seemed to me that the chick was Nik.

Seeing how Leah reacts like that, Catalina (Jr.) asks worryingly.

"Maybe Dr. Leah too..."

"No? I don't think you want anything else, do I? Better than that...... where are the Griffon children?

Leah inquired of the children of Griffon in the cave because she could not find a shadow.

Then the hunter speaks his own guess before the smaller Catalinas give an explanation. However, her speculation seemed to Catalina (Jr.) not to be overheard.

"When I came, I had no appearance or form. You weren't there from the beginning, or -- maybe these kids' parents ate..."

"What?! Oh, that's why..."

"No, Catalina. They niks are birds with cute faces, for sure, but don't take a sweet look at their power. I've never seen him fight, but perhaps Nik is stronger than Griffon."

"Nha..."

"So much so that a bird called Nik has the power of a monster. You look so cute..."

Saying so, the hunter turned his pitiful gaze to Nik's chick. The presence of two brothers who got cold beside the chick may have also been the cause of clouding her expression.

And --,

"... if the demon who lived here is Nik, there's no way to raise this child."

—— Leah finally utters the word. It was the closest statement Catalina (Jr.) had ever assumed.

"Hey, why...?

"Because even we're birds who burn our hands to deal with it, right? It's impossible to raise them. Or can you raise this child so that no one gets hurt? You can't, can you?"

Leah said so to Catalina (Jr.), as if to push him away.

Her judgment was natural, and natural. If Nik doesn't listen to Catalina, and runs wild in the energy, it's the sailors who will be harmed - pull them back. Just because it's cute, it was something we should never have taken home irresponsibly and put all of us at risk.

But Catalina didn't give up. Because there was antagonism against Leah, maybe it was one of them. Or because there was another reason......

Yes, for example --,

"I'll raise Pea!

"I'll raise Pea!

—— I remembered my beloved "family" who had been separated a long time ago, for other reasons...
