Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... what happened?

Cortex took Yuki somewhere in a hurry, and there was to be a wise man and Yulia, and Argus, the troop leader, left on the spot. All three of them don't know what it is... It seems that everyone as well as the wise were bewildered.

"I don't even know before...... But did something happen to Yuki?

"Right...... It's strange to say that Yuki doesn't remember Sage... but is it so hasty?

…………

Sage was attacked by a complicated mood at this time. On the other hand, I felt like I couldn't walk Yuki or stand, and I was relieved somewhere. Yuki didn't see herself in her eyes because there were special circumstances, which also meant that she didn't hate her. For a wise man who didn't want her to hate him, it was a situation that could be said to have taken the snag of his heart in a way.

But considering the anomaly that had occurred to Yuki, she couldn't have said that she didn't hate me, etc. If there is anything in Yuki in the first place, he cannot be liked or hated. Of course, although it was not certain that something had happened to Yuki, the wise man was under unspeakable anxiety.

Nevertheless, I couldn't possibly go back to my country after Yuki and the others. Cortex left the sages in command of the scene to return. Given the reason, I couldn't throw out the job I was entrusted to do.

"... Anyway, now, let's give priority to getting through the status quo"

When the sage speaks so with the thought of a severance, Julia asks with a strange look on her face.

"... May I go home too?

"No, you can't. If Mr. Yulia is leaving, I'll be back first. I'm not worried about Yuki either."

"Phew..."

……

"No, I thought Sage was worried about Yuki."

"That's natural. If I could, I'd like to stay close to Yuki."

"Then you can come back, right?

"What...?

"'Cause there's means of communication, there's metamagic, there's" doors everywhere (...), "and you can get in touch with them right away, no matter what. Besides, even if the sage gets out of the line, it has little effect..."

"I'm shocked when they say that... but I'm not going home"

"Why? You're worried about Master Yuki, aren't you?

The wise man who heard Julia's inquiry replied this way, staring at the thin town lights that spread across it as he took a step toward the town.

"... it is Yuki's wish to reclaim the town, and to reclaim the country. Just because Mr. Yuki is worried, he's back in Mid-Eden country, and there's probably nothing else to worry about, such as what I can do. If you think about what the best thing you can do now is to keep thinking about Yuki… I think so."

When the wise man says so, he drops his shoulder to mourn his powerlessness and ignorance, and shakes his head after--,

"... let us leave the matter of Master Yuki to Master Cortex and let us do the task entrusted to us in a steady manner"

—— That is how he turned around and turned his gaze toward Julia and Argus, as he had decided to be prepared.

◇

The operation then unfolded in the town of Octofesta was even suspicious if it was no longer to be called an operation. Immediately sleep the Eclerians who have metastasized, slashing tendons all over their bodies, crushing their vocal cords and even crushing their eyes and ears to prevent information leakage...... To prevent self-harm, the mouth is stuffed and the meal is fed via a tube from the nose...... That thorough way of doing it was so cold that it was not an exaggeration to say that the god dwelled, that it terrorized even his enemies and allies.

Nicole the Sage was the one giving the instructions that could be described as cruel at its center. He gave up all his sweetness and literally did his "best" to get the town back from Eccleria, without choosing the means.

In his eyes, prepared, it seems that the Ecclesiaans were no longer reflected as human beings. In the first place, I might say it wasn't even shown as an organism.... mere obstacle to trying to trample Yuki's wishes. He continued to give instructions to the soldiers to trap the obstacle in a coffin of flesh in the shape of a man, which he could not gather lightly and arrange, and which could not be said to be alive or dead to never be reincarnated again.

It appears that some of the Allied soldiers were unable to withstand the inhumane work and fell ill. Sage turns into such a man, and when he hands himself a blade--,

Saku... Saku...

—— and stuck his blade at the irresistible Ecclesiaans, as if slaughtering one flowing livestock after another.

Even Yulia couldn't seem to hide the confusion.

"Sage, it's a little too much..."

"No. This is the only way I can do it, more than I can destroy them. Besides, they could have expected this to happen someday. Nevertheless, we have repeated a tactic that relies on the advantage that we will not die —— no, because we are repeating ourselves in the present progression, we can take for granted with this end" sakku...

The robe of the sage, which was originally red, stains the dos black red with its hands. But that's why no one can stop talking about him... All we could do was watch about the sage dyeing into black.

Thus did the wise men capture more than 3,000 Eclerians on this day alone.
