Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Behemoth, where the three porcupine sisters ride, passes through the township of Aquilegia.Unlike most cities in the world, the townscape of Aquilegia, with its asphalt roads, seems to be the modern world.Combined with the sun of the desert in the sky, the scene spread as if the townships of the modern world had been transferred to other worlds.

"The city of Éclair is a wonder."

"The ground is flat... it's certainly strange."

Like a black stone?

Although magic tools were on the market, there were no petroleum products using petroleum, so it seemed that the asphalt was no wonder to the poachers.Because of that, they seemed to see the black ground as if it were a single black stone board.

Others are squared buildings that look white and hard.Something like a round obelisk growing from the edge of the road.Alternatively, objects such as elongated wires connecting the house to the house that had only been seen in Éclair could be scattered.The three porcupine sisters look at the sight and think:... this is the architectural style. It was an ecliptic architecture.Well, you could say it wasn't a mistake.

With such a view, the three porcupine sisters retrieved the people of the city one after another.Beginning on the outskirts of the city, the search for the citizens of Aquilegia will gradually spread towards the city center.

In the center of the city, there was something like a high wall.Yeah, it's like a wall.Whether it's a wall or a building, I don't know from where they were.All they know is the height of the building.

It's high enough to reach the clouds.

"There are no clouds in the desert."

"... estimated, 800 m"

According to the conversation between the porcupines, the structure standing there was 800 meters high.The width is unknown. The depth is unknown.Such an enormous structure sat in the middle of Aquilegia's town.

The Strellas, who were putting together the operation, called the building "Demon King Castle".The Demon King Castle is lurking in it.There seemed to be a different name among the Éclairites, but the name "Demon King Castle" spread before the correct name spread among the Allies, so the Pochi also called the huge structure "Demon King Castle".

"There are no more people around here."

But I was told not to approach Demon King Castle.

"... wait a minute? I have a reaction...?"

The porcupines brought the magic armor "Behemoth" one kilometer closer to the walls of the Demon King's Castle, stopping the plane and keeping an eye on the surroundings.Until now, the people on the biometric sensors had stopped without moving because they were unconscious, but the creature that looked like the figure that was coming here and moving appeared on the sensor's screen.

"Um... what did I say when I saw someone moving on the sensor?"

Enemy!

Among the three Porcupine sisters, Porcupine B (Bechet) and Porcupine C (Cattia) judged their living beings to be enemies, and immediately thereafter--

Grrrrr!

ZUDOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

--Thinking that a violent acceleration attacked the plane, the explosion echoed with a slight delay.There was an attack coming from the Eccleanor forces.However, fortunately, it did not hit the Behemoth's plane.Just before the impact, Pochi A (Angelica), who responded to the enemy's attack, stepped sideways by manipulating the Behemoth at the exact time.

Enemies are Eclenian tanks!

It's five!

"Well, when you enemies the club--"

And this time, the voices of the porcupines overlapped.

Without hesitation, the porters fled the scene at a glance.It's a tactical retreat. As Strella had instructed in advance, they chose the option of fleeing the scene without even waving their arms.

However, it is not at full speed, but at an exquisite rate that Eccléa's tanks can keep up with or not.
