Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When Waltz returned inside the church and orphanage to pick up about Dahlia, all the children and sisters, in addition to Dahlia and Ardelheit, sat solidified around the altar, which was in the cathedral.

As a result, the waltzes try to get close to that group and tell them that things are over... Before that, they will, on the contrary, be spoken to by children.

"Your sisters are back!

"Did you win? You won?

"I exorcised that bad uncle!

And when the children stood up in unison, they pushed over for Catalina. Yes, towards one of her...

"What...?

"Wow!

"I was scared..."

"Sister, that was cool!

And, holding onto Catalina, zero tears or turn your longing gaze...... After all, it seems that the raid of the Great Sage was too frightening to help. The fact that the orphanages were just attacked by the brave Enders the day before also accounts for about half of the reason.

At that time, for some reason, the children did not seem to have tried to get close to Waltz. And Waltz himself seemed to understand why.

"... yeah. That was cool...... that was cool...... yeah" no

I just want to escape in front of my enemies and watch Catalina fight from afar, and say this and I'm not in the fight (...) to (...) see (...) what (...) waltz think of the children... Needless to say, I dare. Though she didn't seem to regret her escape herself.

And watching about Catalina, who was bewildered in the center of the children while Waltz made the eyebrows a letter of ha...... Dahlia, who noticed how she was floating alone, approached unexpectedly.

"Dear Waltz. We apologize for not being able to participate in the fight"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I couldn't take part in the fight because I'm with you... I don't know... just the two of us, Catalina and Cheval, it's all over, I mean..."

"... Sounds like it. Amazing isn't it...... Dear Catalina"

"... I'm not sure if it's real, but we can fight each other with God... well, that's amazing"

"By the way, that girl...... what about Maria?

…………

"Was it..."

Dahlia didn't answer her own question, but noticed a waltz that frowned quietly and thought it depended.

Then she uttered these words as if to switch the subject, watching how Catalina had been screwed up by the children there.

"Speaking of which... I thought, Dear Catalina, you really look just like the portrait of Vixen the Demon King who was decorated in the royal palace of the future city of Vixen"

"Uh, you mean a portrait just like Catalina that was decorated in that null or yuki castle?

"Yep. That demon king Vixen... Could it be that someone in these children painted a painting that mimics Catalina..."

"Well, I'm pretty sure it's someone in this town right now, even if it's not the kids..."

"Right..."

What a hard look to describe as the two of them point their distant gaze towards Catalina...... Catalina realizes it and turns her eyes to them.

"Mr. Waltz and Mr. Dahlia. Don't look there, help me."

"I love you, sister!

"Don't go anywhere!

"Smells strange!

"Even just Catalina can't beat kids,..."

"If there's an adult who beats a child, it's just an adult..."

And Waltz and Dahlia try to rescue Catalina from among the children. But the two of us can't keep the children apart in the end... Until the sisters I saw helped me, Catalina seemed to be at the center of the children and had nothing else to do but solidify.

◇

Then they shake off the children... The three come to a certain private room that was inside the church and orphanage building. There, Ardelheit, who regained consciousness, sits on his bed... She seemed to be thinking something there.

But as soon as the waltzes came to the occasion, she looked up and asked the waltzes about the situation.

"What happened?

What happened to fighting the Great Sage...... Waltz responds to the inquiry.

"I haven't been able to defeat you... but for now, I think you'll be relieved for a while because Catalina got bumpy and I cut it in two and Cheval ate it into chunks of meat, huh?

"What...? Excuse me... hey, I don't know what you're talking about... how can you say that you're in such a situation, but you can't take it down?

"That's... I'd love to hear it, too, to be honest. How can you live in such a state..."

That's what I said, Waltz, who turns his gaze to Catalina. Ahead, Catalina seemed to be shaking her head.

Ardelheit, on the other hand, still had the look of surprise, not knowing the circumstances, even when he heard Waltz's explanation. But from the look on three people's faces, knowing that they're not joking ——

"... ok. There are things in the world that you don't really understand..."

—— Looks like she decided to force herself to swallow the situation.

The waltzes then seem to have told Ardelheit that it was a battle with the Great Sage.... and, of course, that the girl Maria has been exposed to the Great Sage.
