Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... you're running out of snow in a good way"

"Yeah... maybe the clouds are getting suspicious instead..."

Something to say since the sun came out, the snow momentum that kept falling massively from the top of the tree coarsely subsided...... And where the sun that was floating in the sky began to hide behind the white clouds. Eve and the hunter were finally talking about going outside.

The problem was that when she went outside, there were no other elves in the town at all, and the purpose of the two was to find someone named Alfania to accompany her, so the first thing she couldn't do was not meet the inhabitants of the town who would know where she was. So it seems that the two of them visited the nearby house on one end and tried to hear where the person Alfania was.

By the way, at this time, Eve was buried in the hair of a round elder bear, unable to move. It was when Elder Bear slept holding Eve as if dealing with a doll or something.

"Uh... Mr. Bear? Maybe it's time to go outside..."

".................. zzz"

"Well, maybe not... Could it have started hibernating, Mr. Bear?

"No way..."

The hunter says that much and thinks about it. I was worried that Elder Bear, sleeping comfortably with Suyasuya, might have really gone into hibernation.

"... Eve"

"Yeah?"

"... are you waiting there?

"What... hey..."

"Just kidding."

That's what the hunter says, and when he puts his hand on both shoulders of Eve, which was sandwiched in the body of a squatting bear, he gently lifts up that body to rescue him about a dog or daughter who was holding a pillow or something.

"Ah... thank you, hunter"

"No, it's not enough for you to thank me. Still, Eve's light, huh?

"Hey, maybe I'm shocked..."

"Really? Well, Eve is m"

"That could be more shocking!

Eve protests hastily about realizing what the hunter is trying to say. As a result, the hunter stopped the words with a bitter smile, without even saying it to everyone. Apparently, she had anticipated Eve's reaction in advance.

Then the two rolled out of the wooden sinus again. The destination is the house that was nearby (?).

On a wooden scaffold strewn between the great tree and the great tree, a variety of houses, large and small, were made. The two headed for the great tree, which was in the adjacent position with the tree they were in. The building that was built to meet the trunk was closest to its current location.

The Eves proceed as they scratch carefully the snow piled up in the aisle...... And somehow succeed in getting to the front of the building door.

There was a small amount of smoke coming out of the building, and there seemed to be no doubt that there were people inside. Such a building door. --,

"... well, maybe we should go."

"Oh. Do it alone."

"Because I'm not a waltz, I might not be able to do such a big thing..."

Con con con......

—— Eve knocks on the door nervously. Maybe it was because it was her first coming inside the elf, or because she was worried about what kind of person would come out.

But --,

…………

Scene……

"... could there be no one?

—— Even when Eve knocked on the door, there was no sign of residents coming out of it.

"Are you asleep?

"... and really, we could all be hibernating?

"I'm not a bear, so I might want to think that's not... If they're all asleep, Eve's mission could fail."

"Right...... no, I thought you said kidnap the waltz one, the sleeping elf, right?

"Well, maybe you don't think the Eves can do that, so maybe, no? If you ask for it, you might think you're asking for Julia or some brave man."

"So is that... Well, I have no choice. Why don't you go to another house? Maybe he's just really asleep."

"That's right."

After such an exchange, Hunter and Eve decided to head to the next house. Nevertheless, the house was not built so far away. Another house was built a dozen steps away from it.

"Hope you're awake this time!

Con con con......

…………

Scene……

"... this is no way..."

"I guess I'm hibernating?

"So is that... what Eve's trying to say isn't... maybe Eve and the others don't like it..."

"What...?

"'Cause you dug such a tiny hole in Mr. Elf's land and built a base to remodel Ene, didn't you?

"But Waltz said you got permission, right?

"Permission... Permission..."

Eve thought about it at this time.... wondering what way the waltzes used to get permission to build a huge base on the ground inside the elf.

In Eve's imagination, the waltzes seem to have taken (...) permission (...) and (...) (...) (...) without using the busy method, but of course that's not true... I just handed over a ton of super advanced analog clocks and installed the cooperation. Well, the "cooperation" that Alfania had in mind and the "cooperation" that Waltz and the others had in mind were another story...

Eves then go around the various houses, but none of the houses ever had the elves come out as if they were staying

And when we went on for a while and our two hearts were about to break...... They reached the hall, which was in the highest position in the elf--,

Con con con......

—— and knocked on the door.
