Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Nosi, Nosi, Nosi......

"... that?

Nosi, Nosi, Nosi......

"... sounds like you're coming with me, huh?

Eve and the hunter were going up and up the spiral staircase made in the trees. Behind it came an elder bear that should have broken up once.

"Buo."

"Is something wrong?

"Bu ob ob!"

"You may not know what you're talking about as usual... but maybe you're hungry?

"Buo!" Kiri.

"Looks like it..."

"You're an easy bear to understand..."

"Bu ob ob!"

Apparently, Elder Bear was hungry and was going to go as far as Elf's settlement to eat. Maybe he (?) may have been trying to go back to the back of the woods, completely forgetting that he was hungry while being chased by Eve's response.

"Then maybe you'll come with me. Eve and the others may have business here in town, too!

"Buo."

"Nevertheless, an elf is an amazing species. I'm symbiotic with bears and demons, so hunting and letting go every day d... no, I guess that means you can moff all you want every day..."

"... hunter. If I hunt, I might not call it symbiosis..."

"... sorry. My mouth slipped because of my usual habits. Hi, I'm a rooted hunter..."

The hunter scratches his cheek with a bitter smile, as he says.

Within such an exchange, the two of us and one and one of us climbed through the spiral staircase and came as far as the residential area where the house inside the elf was built.

But that's where one problem arises.

"If you think it's dark, the exit might be covered with snow..."

—— As Eve put it, the exit of the spiral staircase was covered with snow, and it was not allowed into the town. rather than the town of Elves itself was covered with snow, should it be described as

"Snow scratch, maybe you won't?

"I don't know...... If you scratch snow poorly, it's going to fall off the tree, so maybe you won't dare for safety?

"Oh well. There might be snow downstairs, but if you step through it by mistake, you might get hurt. But then how could the elves possibly live in the winter? You can't be hibernating all winter, can you? (Speaking of which, this bear...)"

"Buo?"

"I don't think you're ever hibernating, do you? (or this bear...)"

"(Maybe you won't hibernate?

"(Don't you hibernate?

"Buo?"

"Yeah, nothing"

"No, it's nothing"

"Buo......"

"But you're in trouble... If you don't meet the elves somehow, you won't even find the one Eve's looking for..."

"Yeah...... what, hunter? Maybe someone named Mr. Alfania, don't you know?

"Hmm? A fu? Who is it?"

"Ah... the hunter didn't even know..."

At this time, Eve and the hunter seem to have finally realized that neither of us knows who Alfania is. Therefore, there was only one option for them to take.

"I guess I'll have to ask someone..."

"The problem is that there's no one in town..."

"Anyway, we might have to get out of the trees and find out if there's anyone in town."

"Right..."

It seems that the hunter and Eve, who so decided, decided to go out of the holes opened in the great trees and into the city. But to do so, we have to go through thick snow walls...... In some cases, there was too much snow scratching to risk falling under the trees.

Still, the two continued to scratch the snow with the utmost caution. As a result, they succeed in getting out of the trees for about a few steps.

There the morning sun had arrived and one side was wrapped in white light. The sky, the floors, the walls, they're all white. It seemed as if the sight had spread as if it had come to the white and black world.

"Something might be amazing... but you might be scared..."

"Oh, be careful, huh? If you fall, you don't fly forward, you fly back."

"That, I may feel flagged... caution"

Eve and the hunter exchanged words that way, carefully ascertaining how far the floor was hidden under the snow.

But there, there was a big problem. What is the problem is that the sun has come out. When the sun comes out, the snow melts and collapses more easily, and on top of that, the wind also becomes more prone to collapse.

And over their heads were massive amounts of snow piled on the branches of the great trees. So far, you'll know what happened.

Dossassassassassassassassassassa!!

"Whoa?! Dangerous?!

The snow on the branches of the trees fell massively, falling near the scaffold where the two of them were. As a result, although the scaffold did not break, it blew the snow that had accumulated on the spot and caused it to fall to the ground below.

"Scared!

"Also, go back..."

"Well, maybe..."

The two immediately came to a conclusion and tried to turn around and walk. It is that moment.

…… Eve! "

"What?"

Dossassassassassassassassassassa!!

Tons of snow fall over Eve's head. The momentum is as intense as the torrents caused by the avalanche--,

"Eve!!

—— The hunter turned bright blue and called the name of the girl who disappeared to the other side of the snow.

But the truth is, Eve seemed safe. Yes, she wasn't crushed by the snow.

That should be it, too. About her--,

"Buo!"

Because Elder Bear shielded herself.
