Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"By the way..."

After confirming that six people wish to be employed as combat maids...... Before moving on to the next story, the maid director gave me a look that seemed offensive for some reason. And the brave men, who saw how it was, seemed to set themselves up in their hearts. The way we cut out the story made me worry that she might have questioned their identity.

But not really...... Looks like the maid chief just had errands for one person who was on the spot.

"And this kid... are you going to make him a combat maid?

"(After all, you might think so, right? Maybe Eve isn't sure why he's here either...)"

Yes, it is Eve. An 8-year-old just like that can only be described as reckless, such as becoming a combat maid... The maid chief seemed to consider Eve a mere child who had come with his sister.

Then Leonardo, the brave man who had named her sister (...), began to say this.

"... she's 15 years old, even if she looks like this"

"(hey?! Master Brave?! That may not be possible s---)"

"Oh, did I? I beg your pardon."

"(Eh? Normally, you might not be convinced there......)"

And, even as I raised my protest in my heart, Eve didn't speak of it. Whether you affirm or deny it here, whatever you say, he just felt like the story was going in a bad direction...... She seemed to have no other option than to strive to maintain a grin.

Did that work, the maid chief who was looking to Eve, when he took his gaze off of her... I said this to six people.

"Now I'm going to ask you all to take a quick exam. As I said earlier, it's a fighting maid. Passing this exam will be mandatory for recruiting, as we will have each other in trouble if we lose our lives in our work. Is that okay with you?

In response to the words of such a maid chief ——

"" "" "" "Yes" "" "

—— and respond with. So they changed places, and they were to be tested.

◇

Ten minutes later. A line came guided by a soldier's training ground. It is an institution that was in the castle of Acerdyne, with the sound of bumping metal and temperamental shouts. Well, I can't even say backyard.

"After all, the atmosphere in the training grounds will never change."

"(I've come this far with momentum... Eve, maybe you'll be okay?

"(Me, I can only use sleep magic, what shall I do...)"

"You... Victor, right?

".................." pu

"Chi, chigauyo?

"You found out... mk1..."

"............ disguise buddies?

and a line of interactions like that while walking behind the maid length. Eve and Dahlia of them seemed to have a worrying look, not knowing how to deal with it in the upcoming exams, either because they were almost out of touch with the battle.

You notice how those two look, a brunette woman —— the energy sisters who were sticking to the body of the swordsman Victor, who looks like, say this without showing up.

'It's gonna be okay, okay? We'll assist!

So you two can do as you normally do, okay?

"Ugh, yeah. I might ask you (I knew it might be this guy, Mr. Victor...)"

"Uh... Me too, please (but... how?

and Eve and Dahlia bow their heads somewhere confused in response to the Energy Sisters' offer.

Then not long... Cecia, the maid length who was walking inside the workout, accidentally stopped her legs and threw her voice toward the back of the person who was there.

"… Sir. Can I ask you a few questions now?

What she spoke to was apparently aristocratic.

In response to that call, the person who pruned his hair up in the back of his head turned to the made-up length--

"Hmm? Oh, Cecia?... I see? You want me to do an enlistment exam?

—— That's a woman. I was a female knight. The age is as unknown as the maid length Cecia, but is it in her mid-30s, or something like that?

"Yes, it is. Can you do me a favor?

"I don't know... You just have to hurt me to the point where I'm not hurt, right?

"No. Stop hurting me."

and a maid chief and a lady knight who have a conversation somewhere friendly.

Then the lady knight dropped her shoulder on this sight... Turning six, she began to introduce herself.

"Ooh ho. I'm Alexandra from the neighboring country for a reason. I don't really know what it is, but I get the title and the title... I don't really know what it's worth, so talk to me normally, okay?... but? Now, whoever thought my name was what it looked like, get ready for you later, Sheba?

And, are you serious or are you kidding, Alexandra, the female knight who talks like that with a smile on her face.

Almost everyone there, as she put it, seemed to think the name matched the appearance, but...... There just seemed to be one person there, eyes round and solidified.

"... No way... That's why..."

and a hunter whining words that are not directed at anyone. Apparently, she knew about Alexandra, who lived 1300 years ago, for some reason.
