Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Ah (...) what?It's that white... ah...

Ah (...) Le... Ah (...) Le (...) right?I was taught by Strella-sama the other day. "

"Ahh, is this...?

Whoa, it's (...) me!

"I really don't know what you're talking about...No, I kind of know, right?

When she heard the conversation from the other side of the magic equipment to talk to the remote area, Strella unexpectedly held her head.Because about half of the words in the conversation between my men were just words.

Strela seemed to understand the content somehow from the atmosphere of everyone's conversation, but she asked her subordinates to report it because there were too many meaningless parts.

"Explain what happened.However, without instructions. "

Somewhere in the Border Guard, someone in charge of communications immediately contacted Strela, presuming that something had happened that would have stopped the fighting.

An ecclesian soldier crossing the border is waving a white flag.I guess... oh, really.I thought it was a sign of surrender. "

"Hmm? Surrender even though you haven't fought yet?

According to Japanese policy, surrendees flying white flags are to be captured as prisoners, but will they?Are you sure you want to destroy them as planned?

"No, no, capture him as a prisoner.It's a rule.... "

Affirmative! We will only capture white-flaggers!

"Hey... catch everyone, not just the one who's flying the white flag...And I said, "I'm going to hunt you down, but I want you to bring him back alive."

We're all alive, right?Roger that, Rajah! "

"... do you really understand?

My men don't really understand what they're saying...Strela seems to have been attacked by unspeakable anxiety.Because her men are monsters.I was worried that the word "catch" might mean the same thing as "hunting."

But I should say I'm sorry...Her anxiety seems to have been well taken care of.

After they captured the Eclarian captives, they decided to tie up their hands and feet and carry them in a stick of wood, like a slug hanging from a tree.The state of the game is hunting.It was the scene Strela was afraid of.

Still, Strela didn't seem to scold her men head-on.At a time when the words were not correctly communicated and there was no proper education or training, it seemed better to think that there were no dead people on both sides of the enemy.

◇

So it was two days after the border crossing that the captured ecclesians were brought by the Strela SS to Carolis, the capital, with greetings from the natives of a great forest.Meanwhile, Ecleria's soldiers, who were trapped in the trees, regretted surrendering after being afraid of Mercrio's first response.

But I could also say that was natural.The ecclesians are civilized people from the modern world.I am not accustomed to being caught by natives living in the depths of the Amazon and transported tied to sticks.

For that reason, it seems that the ecclesians were sighing at the sight of the big town that had been seen beyond the mountain road and exhaling relief.At first glance, in contrast to Strela's men, who behaved like barbarians, we were able to see that a solid civilization had also been shaped by Mercrio.

However, their appeasement was turned into despair by such a whisper from one of the captured Eclarian soldiers.

"Hey, this sight... looks just like the opening of that RPG.Look, it's a game called Elder somehow. "

"Ooh, you?!

It seems that there was a scene in the opening of the game that was popular in the world where they were.In that scene, all the captured people, except the main character, will be executed one after the other.....It seems to have been known worldwide as a story of laughter because of its impression and the surreal nature of its sudden development.However, as it stands, no one is laughing...They were all bluishing their faces as if they were going to be executed one after another.

And they will arrive at the place of their destiny —— the Plaza de la Castle in front of the capital, Carolis.
