Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
12.2-21 Operation Capital Retrieval 21
Immediately after hearing Julia's voice, she appeared on the spot. Just like after using metastasis magic, the space is supposed to be empty, soft and quiet.
The spectators who saw it were surprisingly hardened. Everyone was desperate about Julia, but because the person appeared on the spot in a cheerful manner, they must have seen Julia as a ghost or something.
Alternatively, those who knew how to fight seemed to admire Yulia's way of fighting, which had sometime been replaced by a phantom. Except for the waltz, which has no magic at all.
"Really, Yulia's way of fighting is surreal...."
Next to Leonardo, the brave man who was resting in preparation for the next match, Waltz murmured.
Meanwhile, Leonardo asked Waltz if he didn't understand the situation.
"What does sur mean?
"What? Didn't the brave man know? Yulia's phantom magic is magic that deceives her position. The movement itself must be reproduced by Julia herself, not a complete illusion? Does that mean something?
"... that means Yulia-sama is performing an act that was performed a little further away?
"That's what it is. I can't see the phantom, so I don't know how everyone is seeing the phantom, but I saw Yulia, the real Yulia, wrestling alone, and I saw her face.... No, it's nothing..."
In the middle of the venue, Yulia and her smiling eyes were aligned towards the waltz, and the waltz slowly turned his eyes towards the referee and deceived the story.
Then the referee and president of the Mid-Eden Council raised the banner and declared.
"Winner, Margaret Julius Shach!
But the cheers didn't go up. Before the simulation, which was too different dimension and did not turn into a combat like a battle, everyone could not follow the understanding and the tension did not rise.
Still, the mock fight isn't over. The last game remained.
"Now, Yulia and Made to Fight!
"Eh... are we going to do it too?!
"Isn't that natural? It's a tournament match, so I need you to decide the winner. Don't tell me you're going to strip your white eyes out there and wake up the people who are down and play the finals?
"... I see. I'll do it. Thank you, brave man."
"Thank you very much. Dear Yulia,
Yulia and Leonardo walk out to the venue with their mouths shut. Then the air on the spot will obviously change. But that's not because they started to kill. They all swallowed their breaths and stood up, knowing that the battle between the real fierce would begin.
"This is the first time I've met a brave man."
"Honestly, I don't feel like I can win unless I do my best."
"I'm a clerk, so it would be helpful if you could give me a break. Because if you do that... we'll have to do everything we can."
Two people smiling at each other like that.
And after the order by the referee--
Well, let's get started.
Fuck!!
Fuck!!
--The battle of Julia vs. Leonardo opened the curtain.
◇
The two simulations were supposed to be proxy wars that were not proxy wars. Julia is the representative of the demonic tribe. And Leonardo is the representative of the human side. Now that they both belong to Mid Eden, the expression "demonic" and "human" may not be correct, but it seemed to have special significance for the Borealis soldiers who were there.
So, did everyone just support Julia and turn a hostile eye to Leonardo? Leonardo - that is, knowing that the brave man cooked for them and did other chores for them, he also seemed to have received a small number of voices of support.
Soldiers who were sending a fierce response to the two were like this, but while they supported the two, there seemed to be something they couldn't understand.
Dgoaaaaaaaahhhh!!
Gagagagagagagagagaga!!
Yulia's arm, which uses countless arms to attack Leonardo, and Leonardo's sword, which blows away all of his arms. The sight gave rise to doubts in the soldiers' heads that were not convincing at all.
... why don't these two just do their clerical and chores and fight on the front lines?
Yes, Julia and Leonardo were not there as warriors, but as backup groups. I will not stand on the front line. Nevertheless, it was stronger than anyone else in the Borealis army, so there was nothing we could do about it without knowing why.
The soldiers could not find the answer no matter how they thought about it. Whatever you think, it was clear that it would be more advantageous for the two of you to stand on the front lines. Therefore, as the mock battle progressed, the questions among them grew bigger... The moment comes when their questions are resolved unexpectedly.
Don't!
"Ah...."
A child watching two fights in a crowd bumps into excited adults and breaks down on the spot. At that moment, before she goes into the ground--
Fuck!!
"Are you okay?
—— Leonardo rushes over in an instant to support his body--,
Dogo!!
"Hey! It's good to get excited, but pay attention to your surroundings!
--Julia turned away the adults who were near the children with a phantom.
The adult soldiers who were watching the situation nearby were ashamed of their actions. And at the same time, I realize.
... that the presence of Julia and Leonardo in this town allows them to concentrate on their fight to reclaim Borealis.
And after a dedicated spectator seat for children, the simulation between Julia and Leonardo came to an excellent conclusion.
