Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Stairs made on the surface of the world tree. The brave men were climbing there...

"Ha... ha... ha..."

"(Well, what is it...)"

Soon, Leah seems to have begun to shorten her breath. After all, for her, who had been bedridden for months, rapid exercise like this one seemed to be something close to impossible.

"Are you all right? Leah."

And, with his mouth, the brave man who asks as he turns his worrying gaze to Leah, who was walking next door.

He's, at some point, back to what he usually looks like in made-up clothes... Walking at the beginning of the line, as soon as he found the ”black worm," he seemed to have been exorcised. He seems to be trying to exorcise the bugs after he finds out that the "black bug” is a pest that will bring disaster to this country.

"Yes... it's okay..."

"If you don't think you can, please tell me sooner, okay?

"I can't do this anymore..."

"What..."

"It's a joke..."

Leah was climbing the stairs out of breath. She didn't look very ”okay” from the edge... Apparently, to the extent that I could tell a joke, there was room left.

"... ok. But really, please don't push me, okay?

"Yes......"

Leah responded so briefly to the brave inquiry, then just kept moving her legs silently.

Yuki and Sage are walking behind two people who interact like that... They also seemed to have a similar conversation with the brave men.

"Sage. If you can't, please tell me, okay?

"... that's what you're joking about, right?

"What? No, you're not kidding, are you?

"What? Oh, yes... (I... do I look so weak (...) ku (...)...)"

Sage in the way he was feeling somewhat like anger in the wake of Yuki's words. Apparently Yuki regarded the sage, who had fainted many times during dance practice, as a weak being. It should be noted that the wise are not weak.

Yuki asks such a wise man.

"... Mr. Sage? Shouldn't you give Mr. Leah the magic of physical enhancement?

"I agree...... the magic of physical strengthening should not be used on the sick because it does not have a good effect on the muscles. I'm really thinking about taking my limits and using them when I really can't move."

"Now is not the time," he said?

"Yes. When it really doesn't work, Leo should give you instructions. Until then, all we can do is watch. Well, you don't have to worry about it. Because Leo is more worried about Leah than we are."

With that being said, even as I take the lead in exterminating insects, I look back over and over again and turn my narrowed gaze to the figure of a brave man who looks concerned about Leah.

Yuki, who was listening to that word of his, had no objection to that word, apparently... Looks like she decided to watch Leah softly from behind, too.

In response to her like that, a wise man inquired.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yuki. Is Leah completely cured?

"Fully healed...... no. Dear Catalina, we do not hear that way. Not long ago Mr. Leah finally regained consciousness and recovered by the time he was able to move his body at great speed...... That's all I know, right?

"Really...... Hmm? But then... does Leah mean she still has the symptoms of the example?

"You mean the magic is leaking, right? Magic leaks didn't seem to help even Master Catalina. So it seems that Catalina has taken steps to ensure that the amount of magic produced stays in Leah's body by doing more than the amount of magic that leaves Leah's body. Well, I don't know much about you either."

And Yuki explains to Sage what she thinks she heard from Catalina and Tempo.

Then the wise man who heard it began to frown somehow...... Yuki, realizing it, inquired about the situation.

"... what's wrong with you? Master Sage?"

"Earlier I felt like Waltz or Catalina said..." The Black Bugs ”were going to react to magic and come and suck magic..."

Rose flowers at the source of Vega's power. Wise men had remembered hearing earlier from the waltzes about the black bugs being swarmed to see the magic it unleashed. If the black bugs flock for magic, that is, if the rear, where the magic is leaking from the body, is a prey to the outfit for the bugs? As he climbed the tree of the world tree, he saw the bugs growing in numbers in acceleration, and the sage became progressively more worried.

Listen to him like that--

"Ah... I see..."

—— and Yuki reacted like he was interested, it was that moment.

Dgowwwwww!!

The trunk of the world tree, which was directly beside the stairs, suddenly blew up.

And from there ——

Phew...

Casa, casa...

—— Tons of bugs appeared.

Apparently, the bugs lurking in the trunk of the world tree popped up at once, realizing the magic of Leah, who had come so close to the trunk.
