Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Whoa... Let me check your policy first.You're not going to break into the Kingdom of Merclio... is that okay? "

Strela wore the cat again.As usual, he thought it inappropriate to speak as a princess representing a country on a boulder or as a senior official of the government of a country.

Meanwhile, those who were watching Strela's change, such as Richard, could not cope with her sudden change and looked suspicious of her own eyes.Except they are the ones who lead.What surprised me was that it was a very short time, and when I quickly regained myself, I resumed responding to Strela.Richard and others in particular had memories of a powerful attack by the Strellars a few days ago, and responded faster than others around them.Perhaps he was attacked by the obsessive notion that he would not know what to do if he remained silent.

"Yes! There are no differences in that perception!I don't mean to hurt your country, but... "

Richard looked as if he had made up his mind.He looked straight at Strela and said something.

"--Please help us, the people of Ecleria, to survive!"

What about a meeting to decide the future of the refugees standing in the middle of the field on the boulders, and the group moved to a nearby tent.

There was a large desk under the tent where Strella and the others came, with an A1-sized map describing the territory of the kingdoms of Ecleria and Mercurio.It is a map drawn with a high degree of accuracy, and it seems to be a substitute made by sparing no effort to put in Ecleria's technology, such as using vehicles such as aircrafts or utilizing knowledge of surveying in the modern world. It's printed, by the way.

The territory of Ecleria on such a map depicted the existence of a large, long river.It is a river that flows out of the mountains at the eastern end and into the sea at the western end.

The midpoint of the river. Their capital seems to be where the ocean and mountains run into the river.From there, the streets stretched among the people were stamped with rolling symbols towards the south-east.That's how the refugees walked.The symbol was broken just where Strela and the others were.

"Well! I've never seen such a fine map!"

"" "......" "Shhhh!"

"... what?"

"" "No..." "

"... I was just honestly praising you.Sure, Mid Eden also has a detailed map..... "

It wasn't a joke, it was Strella who was going to praise people for making a fine map, but Richard and those on the Ecleria side only sounded disdainful.As a result, Strela, who was no longer present, decided to cut to the chase.

"Whoa... let's talk first.What do you want us to do together? "

Strela throws questions she doesn't need to hear, and Richard starts talking again on behalf of the refugees.

"Of course, from the army of Eclaria.As we all know, Mid Eden and Mercurio are immortal at first sight.It was the Eclarian army that built the system, and they were forcibly conscripting the people as soldiers and sending them around the world.We don't want to fight anymore..... "

That said, Richard lays his eyes down with a spicy expression on his face.I saw other people with similar expressions--

"... I see. You were also on the battlefield as soldiers, weren't you?"

--They all seem to have been ravaged many times by strella and tempo, or swimmed through space as waltzes attacked in the battle of the Borealis Empire.
