Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Ah, Master Waltz! And... Sir Lieble?

The Catalinas walked in to see how the citizens were doing with 3 +1 people.

It was Yuki A with a high-sensitivity camera mounted in her eye that raised her voice when she noticed Waltz and Reeble appearing early in the day.

To the actions of such a sister,

"What..."

and null to stop, leaking voiceless sounds out of his mouth.

Apparently, she was trying to find Waltz before her sister...

Then Null followed his sister with a regrettable bite on her lower lip, then... with the other sisters who were laid at Waltz's feet, and after noticing soldiers with coats hung from above her face, she had a different bitter look than before.

"... are the sisters... alive?

Dude, the blood was spreading on the ground, and Yuki C's body was bloody.

If you don't know what's going on, you won't have to look like you've suffered a lot of wounds as a result of the battle with Waltz.

You noticed that, Waltz replied with a small grin to the null he had been asking.

"Yep. Probably safe, huh? I don't know if Catalina can get a good look at the details."

"... good..."

Yuki A and Null muttering the same words in such waltz words, with the same expression at the same time.

Meanwhile.

Katarina, who was walking with Fei Long from the rear of the same, ignored Yuki B to E as they lay on the ground... passing beside it, kneeling next to the soldier whose raincoat was hung, and peeling its coat without hesitation.

Then, check his wounds, put your hands on the hollow chest...

"... Mr. Waltz... no. Nothing..."

With that said and a sad look on his face only for a moment, Waltz began to treat the soldier he intended to kill.

"... Catalina? My stance..."

"Yes, I know. Mr. Waltz can't move, so I move. That's just it. That doesn't make me resent Mr. Waltz. And... I'm here to make sure you don't regret it later."

With that said, Catalina is restored back to normal as she sees the heart of a soldier who should have been completely lost and healed to the condition as if nothing had happened.

Apparently, she knew what Waltz would do and came this far.

"Kaha...!

... and a soldier breathed back.

Of course, he doesn't look like he's back in consciousness, but the time his heart was stopped isn't that long, so there's probably nothing like dying.

"I'm sorry... Catalina."

Behind my own troublesome troubles, Waltz grumbles a little against Catalina, who has easily saved the lives of soldiers.

Catalina, who was turned to such words, after making sure that the soldier's capacity was stable, got up.

"Whatever happens, I don't do anything to abandon anyone who could possibly be saved... so I decided to come with Mr. Waltz. But I wouldn't do anything to force Mr. Waltz or anyone else to do that. It's... it's not good, is it? Even if Mr. Waltz and the others were erasers and I were pencils."

I smiled at Waltz and said so.

"... yes... (I don't know why... I feel Catalina's words weird lately...)"

I wonder if this is the weight of sin... and so on, waltz returning those words with a look of sorry.

Catalina then began to examine whether there were any abnormalities in their bodies, as if nothing had happened, as she proceeded to the Yuki sisters, who were now sleeping on the ground nearby.

... by the way.

Yuki A and Null watching her like that from the side...

"(or you can't win...)"

I'm not sure if I thought... but I tried to mislead my tiny, trembling hand and it seemed to hold my fist hard.

Maybe they're desperate to figure out if Catalina's pencil can erase the white lines it draws with their own red eraser.

Perhaps that white line means the same to them as the hurdles they have to cross.

Meanwhile, Reeble, who was supposed to be near them and watching the whole thing...

... Since when has it been solidified, as it was subjected to the magic of petrification, with a much more flashing look on its face, he seems relieved.

Apparently for her, both Waltz's actions and Catalina's were beyond comprehension...

And for such a Reeble, one of those beings who doesn't understand why he's here (?) For Fei Long, who was...

"Hmm... Interesting story in there, but... what is Empitsu?

... He looked like he barely understood the conversation between Waltz and Catalina.

Well, for those of you who haven't been with Waltz for a day yet, what can you do without understanding?

... No, it was a problem before that...

And after Catalina completes Yuki's examination... and further confirms that there are no more citizens who are late for treatment.

"Well. For now, maybe a paragraph?

Waltz asked Yuki A and Null as he glanced at the flying dragon surrounded by the soldiers who regained consciousness.

And then Null...

"... yes. Thank you for saving the people..."

With those words, I bow my head to Waltz and Catalina.

Try to follow that, and Yuki A, who was next to her, bows her head deep... but when she lifts her head faster than Null...

"... after that, what are you going to do with me,"

It should also be noted that he narrowed his eyes with his gaze to the appearance of the deftery vixen, which was slightly twitching while biting the protty vixen.

From what I can tell... apparently she thinks, unlike Null, there doesn't have to be a labyrinth in the land.

(Hmm. Originally supposed to be the same snowgirl (null), but after 250 years of breaking up, I guess I'll change my mind, too?

When Waltz is pointing his gaze at Yuki A like he's convinced somewhere...

"Ains (Yuki A)..."

You thought the same thing as Waltz, Null opened his mouth.

"Do you... do you think it's okay if there's no labyrinth in this city?

Yuki A thinks about what such a null word is trying to say.

Perhaps if she had spoken her mind frankly now, the answer would be YES, needless to say.

On the other hand, as Nur hung 'waited' for the waltzes who were about to erase the labyrinth, Yuki A also understood the importance of the presence of the labyrinth in this city and in this country.

Such Yuki A's and Null's thoughts are the same for the majority of them... but I guess they're just slightly out of balance.

But as a result, the answer she gave...

"... I don't think so."

... was the opposite of null.

If I were to say by analogy to Null or Yuki A's current mood, would it be a balance that weighs almost as much, something like that?

Perhaps on that scale, in the course of 250 years, dust must have piled up at some point.

... but then.

Yuki A goes on to say something different than what Null expected.

"... my sister, I miss her."

"... Huh?

"... in short, let's erase the labyrinth at this time so that your sister Null doesn't think about anything better after this!

With that said, against Null, Yuki A turns an angry gaze.

Null against her gaze like that,

... unfortunately when I narrowed my eyes, I leaned down without saying anything.

Apparently, for her, she wanted me to skip my own business and just think about this country.

(... the sisters are tough too... But somehow you don't know...)

Waltz looks at those two and accidentally overlaps himself with his sister.

and watching the two of them like that,

Gogogogogogogo...

There was movement in the labyrinth.

"... well. If you can't decide whether to handle the labyrinth or not... what about leaving the future to them?

"... Huh?

Two people with an unexpected look in the wake of Waltz's words like that.

"If you're going to attack this city again, you can just wipe it away as it is, and if not... if you can just hang out like you've always been, I think you can just let it go? 'Cause they're alive, too, so you think you can leave them to about your last choice..."

"... right"

Catalina nods small with a satisfied look on the words of such waltz.

"Yes... okay"

"Yes... I have no objection to that either."

It seems that Yuki and the others were also convinced by Waltz's suggestion.

... and thus the labyrinths, who are now trying to show exactly the movement, were to be entrusted with their last choice...
