Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Time goes back to noon.

There were some shadows wandering in the rainy city, without an umbrella, without a destination.

... are the children who have lost their parents in this one case.

The reason they lost their parents wasn't that Scar Vixen's raid was the direct cause...

In the first place, at the time of the anomaly in the city, the Boreas government carried out a forced evacuation of citizens using metamagic.

In this system, the people of the town can hardly be considered to be harmed.

But I could help all humans, not all of them.

In this case, researchers and adventurers who have been inside Scar Vixen since the beginning, as well as people related to them, would fall into that category.

Other soldiers who participated in the defense of the city also had to fight on the front lines to contain the rampant Skar Vixen, so a small number of them had left the world.

And Eve's parents were one of them.

Nevertheless, it was more than a month ago that her father died.

... Yes, her father was one of the researchers who had been swallowed up by Scar Vixen.

That too, as the first victim...

Her mother, on the other hand, was in the other world immediately after she was born.

In short, her family was a father-son family.

And now that she has lost her father, she has no brothers, and no relatives, she has been left alone all her life.

That said, unlike the other orphans, she had a place to go home.

I'm home.

Either because time had already gotten used to it since my father died, or because Eve came back with such a bright voice, in the city of Proti Vixen... it was a dark house where no one was.

... No, it's not dark, rightly.

"Ha... when I got home, there was a hole in the ceiling!

... apparently there was a stone mass that the waltzes couldn't get rid of, and there was a big hole in the ceiling of the house from which rainwater came in along with the light outside.

In a way that crushed the table, the stone lumps were stuck on the floor, so this fell from the sky, I guess.

"Uh, and your tool set... oh, there it is!

Eve, who had the hammer and nailed tool bag that had been laid inside the storage shelf, went outside, still shaking the rain, when she wore her own poncho, and hung a scissor to go up the roof.

Then, finding the appropriate wood end (hazai) from the shadow of the house and taking it on his shoulder, he ascends the scissors slowly and comes to the hole in the roof.

"Hmm, it's a little slippery... I won't put it on"

With that said, Eve starts restoring the roof hole with a familiar hand.

Then after about 5 minutes of work, he seems to have managed to finish a simple first aid procedure to the extent of stopping the rain leak, although it has been badly repaired.

"Yeah! That's it. Shit!

And Eve trying to get off the roof and back.

... In doing so,

Zulu...

"Wow...!!

Dosin!!

... I was going to be careful, but the rain made the wet wooden roof seem unexpectedly slippery, slipping my legs and falling off my butt to the ground.

Well, there were times when it was a one-story bungalow, when a plank of wood was rolling over where it crashed, and a soft tail was cushioned, and it didn't even matter...

"Eh!! Ouch!"

Still, it did not seem to have changed that it was quite painful.

And when the pain in the buttocks and tails pulled off.

She began cleaning inside the room, which had been vandalized by stone blocks, after returning to the house with her father's tools and drying her clothes, which had become soaked.

And I try to pinpoint the stone blocks that were stuck on the floor, but...

"Mmo!!"

She couldn't seem to move a boulder a stone mass heavier than her own weight.

In the end, she decided to give up on retreating the stone blocks and instead, make them part of a broken table pedestal.

One street, after cleaning, it's getting dark outside, so Eve lights the candle with little fire magic to illuminate the inside of the room.

And I put it on an impromptu table that still felt somewhat annoying.

In the meantime, as long as you don't hit things hard on your desk, you're not going to fall.

"Bye! Boulder, me. He's got his head covered!

That said, Eve had a full grin on the candle.

He thought if he kept the candle near where it got wet in the rain, it would dry right away.

It should be noted that her house also had heating, needless to say why she didn't put it on.

... Yes, in urban areas, firewood is also paid for.

Eve, who was then skipping lunch, uses the ingredients that were in the house to make dinner a little earlier.

"Ah!

Bam!

"Ugh!

Bam!

... Something's buzzing, but it's not rampant.

They were pinching wheat.

Apparently the dinner dedication is not bread... but udon...

"Nsha... Nsha..."

Add salt and water and cut the well kneaded dough with a badly cleaned knife.

Is it because of that, or is it her personality problem... with vertical and horizontal stirrups of thickness, and not a certain thickness, part of which was the chunk of fabric itself...

And that noodle (?),

"Mm-hmm..."

Gutsy, gutsy...

Place in a pan with hot water heated by fire magic.

And for a while, Eve continued heating using fire magic.

"Mm-hmm... I'm... tired... but patient!

... and good luck for about five minutes...

"Ha... I don't know if I can do this anymore..."

I've reached the limit of my strength...

Now turn off the water from it and wash it with water.

♪

And if you add a small amount of salt to that...

"Done!"

... I can do Eve-style udon...

Note that if you have texture or flavor...

"sloppy... thank you"

... There seemed to be no problem at all for Eve prioritizing throat swallowing.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

From the side, it seemed like a satisfying Eve, but...

"It was delicious... the meal we all ate..."

You remembered the dinner we had yesterday and the breakfast we had this morning, and you grumbled about that.

After all, he couldn't forget the taste of the meal at the royal castle.

... Rather, should I say 'the taste of the air', which we all ate surrounding our desks, rather than the taste of the meal itself...

"Damn - I don't know why you imitate throwing out such a handsome girl, Master Waltz!

And puff... and sigh Eve after a sip of the water in the glass.

With such evil spitting, I returned the finished dishes to the kitchen.

... that was the time.

Van!!

Suddenly, I hear the sound of rambling open the entrance to the house.

At the same time,

"Does it fit here?

"Oh, definitely"

I hear such a low voice characteristic of a man...

"Huh?!

Eve, whose body has become stiff and unable to move one, to the men who have suddenly broken into the house like that.

"Hmm? Oh, that's his daughter"

"Just fine. Catch him."

"Don't give me orders..."

Dokah! Don't! Gatan!!

There's no escape. One man forcefully moves through the house as he knocks down the table she fixed at the corner in an attempt to catch Eve...

Gabba

On her mouth, she wanted to put a damp cloth on it because it was wet with rain.

Eve scratching algae desperately.

"This guy... don't go wild!

Still, Eve kept rambling...

Because,

"(Yes, I can breathe...!

I couldn't breathe through the damp cloth that was appreciated by the man's arm strength.

Gradually the scenery darkens and the consciousness becomes distant...

"(Wataru... Tashi... Ke...)"

During his unconsciousness, Eve remembered Waltz's eyes in the same color on a bright red sunset he saw outside.

And her consciousness... sucked completely into the darkness...

Gowow...!!

On this day, in Proti Vixen, there was an all-burning fire in one house.

No one tried to put out such a fire because everyone was busy restoring their house, or because they thought it would go out on its own with the rain that started falling again... or because we all knew that the house was where all the researchers who were responsible lived...

However, according to the rumors of the citizens, it was not just an all-burning fire.

You think the girl who lived in that house was burned to death or kidnapped?

Or that you immediately quelled the fire after burning unnaturally and collapsing all at once?

And the most common rumor is that in a burning house, a thin floating girl and giant stood still...
