Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Sushi - ♪ Sushi - ♪"

"No, no, no... didn't you come here to find sushi ingredients, even though it's sushi itself?

"Ooh... Ooh, sushi ingredients ~ ♪ Sushi ingredients ~ ♪"

"Well, well, Theresa? I don't know how you feel, do I? I also enjoy walking in places I don't know."

Lucia, Teresa, and three beatrix going through the town that was lit by the leaning sun. Their whereabouts were lined with triangular roofed wooden houses with chimneys, which somehow gave them a snowy atmosphere. In Orija 1300 years later, under the influence of a great river, the wind blowing from the north was warm...... Even in winter it rarely snowed, but in this era, because there are no great rivers, or in winter, there seems to be snow. It should be noted that the current season is spring.

"What kind of town is this? Bear. Lord, you know what?

"Right... at least I don't think it's [Wang Du], do you?

"That's right...... In short, you don't even know, do you?

"Yeah, I hardly ever got out of Wang Du and went to a town outside. I'm going to grasp the map, so if you ask me, maybe I'll know the name, but it's hard to say which town it is by looking directly at it?

"Hmmm... I don't know what that is..."

I imagine that Teresa, who was the princess of the previous Mid-Eden kingdom, was in the same situation as maybe Beatrix. In fact, that anticipation was firing a target... She can't seem to remember forever.

Then about the name of the town, the two of us are saying the proper prediction that it's not, uh... Lucia pinches her mouth on the conversation between the two of them, whether it was something to notice the view inside the town.

"... hey, both of you"

"Something... less people?

"Hmmm... sure if you ask me..."

"Right...... I haven't seen anyone since we got into town."

The anomaly Lucia felt inside the red-dyed town. It was not to see the inhabitants in the town. All I saw was a gatekeeper at the entrance to town...... There was no one else, and the whole town was quiet as if it were midnight. No, I'd rather describe it as quieter than midnight.

"What's wrong with everyone? Did you even go hunting?

"Everyone in town is a job addict at the Hunter Hall (?) Then there's also the possibility of going out hunting in the evening in reckless behavior, well, I can't deny it... maybe there isn't."

"Ah. Some houses have lights on, don't they?

"Really. Well, then, you don't mean there's nobody there. Even so...... why isn't anyone walking outside?

"... Teresa? Just in case, shouldn't you use phantom magic? I have a bad feeling about this."

"It's been unfolding ever since we got into town. But you can't hide the sound, so you don't want me to make too much noise?

"Yeah."

"I understand."

And three people who start walking again.

A dusk town without people. A crow-like bird chirping I hear from time to time. Weeds stretched and rough alleys. And as we approach night, temperatures go down gradually...... The three walking around town were possessed by strange signs, hardening nature and expression. Something is going on in this town....... all three of us seem to have been so sure.

"".................. "Gyu

"... the lords. Why are you stuck with your concubine?

"Yes, no, 'cause, look, it's getting cold..."

"Do you agree? ♪ Poop

"... Miss Lucia is still good, and Bear has another reason..."

Teresa is grabbed in the arm by Lucia and Beatrice, as if she were being held by both sides and taken. Human Cairo, did I just say?

"But where is there an inn? Since it's such a big town, I don't think it's a good idea to have one of the lodgings... it hasn't been this far."

"Hmm, I can't ask because there's no one in town... In the meantime, let's go a little further, shall we? If you can't... then that's when"

"But if we find a place to stay, is it okay to go in normally? We've come this far ignoring the inquisition, and if there were any circumstances in which we shouldn't be in town... it would be a problem, wouldn't it?

"... then I have no choice. My concubine will do something about it."

"It's omnipresent at times like this, isn't it, Teresa?"

"It's almost a crime..."

Worst case scenario, rewrite shopkeeper's thoughts with verbal and spiritual magic...... On the contrary to the crime paper, it's no exaggeration to say that you're treading on both feet thoughtfully, but Teresa seems to have decided that it's better than making a scene.

And I came all the way to the town's shopping district and the place I thought ——

————

—— In their ears, they hear someone.

"Yeah? Voice?

"Yelling, huh?

"Sounds like it, doesn't it?

The voice was echoing from the end of the road they were walking on. Signs such as blacksmiths, pharmacists and weapons shops sway. At the end of that street was a circular square with a concentration of roads in the town. There's some object there... Several people were yelling at each other pointing to objects.

Lucia sees the object and solidifies it.

"Hey... Hey, that..."

The same was true of Beatrice.

"Yes, no way... no way..."

Two people with a bright blue look, realizing what the object that was in the square was.

In the meantime, Teresa frowned seriously... In light of my own knowledge, I mentioned why there are no people in this town.

"Epidemic Disease (Still Yamama), the..."

At the end of their gaze was a pile of cloth piled around wooden jaws, not objects. There seemed to be something wrapped in that cloth, apparently wrapped in what Lucia and the others were looking for. —— Yes, the people who disappeared from town.
