Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Time goes back just a little bit.

Kacha...

The sound of a small cup echoes in a royal castle study that is much more royal than the new royal castle of Boreas created by Lucia and the royal castle of Mid-Eden, which is being demonized by Theresa.

From such a cup of handles, let go of your white, thin fingers elegantly... and look into the view of the night when the big moon illuminates, shaking your long lashes...

That's all it takes to be a painting, either because of the air created by the 'position' she desperately guarded, or because of the elegance that overflows from her very attempt to guard the 'position'...

Towards the slope-built township and the great lake that stretches across the Merclio (tentative) kingdom's royal castle window, Strella, one of the homunculus, had a tender gaze as' Lady (Hime) 'showed.

"(Uh, I haven't heard from your sister... It's frustrating, so maybe we should just declare war on Mid Eden like this...)"

... but the inside seemed rough.

Canopus, King Merclio (tentatively), who had been able to read her thoughts to some extent because he had acted with such a strella for a relatively long time, speaks as he did, without raising the eyes he had put through the paperwork.

"... don't freak me out, okay?

"The boulder is your father. You know perfectly well that I'm about to wage war..."

"No, I don't. I just felt disturbing signs..."

"... oh, yeah"

And the silence to visit again in the room.

Strella caught her mouth small, in a position she didn't seem to dislike such tranquillity and invisible to the canopus she had been speaking to.

On the other hand, she didn't know what Canopus thought of this air, but seeing that his condition hasn't changed particularly after the silence came... I mean, I guess that's what it is.

Then again, Strella carrying the cup to her mouth.

Then, at that time,

Con, con...

and I hear knocking on the door of the room.

Strella frowned slightly at the appearance of the extra who disturbed the air in such a place.

"... go in but good"

Canopus returns a slightly stiffer reply to visitors than usual.

To his attitude like that, Strella seemed to think something, and now she wrinkled her eyes small.

"Excuse me."

But the visitor is a woman... and that's also because she was a person who didn't care, or again, Strella's expression enters cloudy weather visibly...

"Dear Canopus, I have the report with me"

Never noticing the look on Strella's face like that, it was Hermes who came to the study and said so, with his tiny brown feathers, who chaired the national parliament of this country... in other words, was Sylvia's mother.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

Canopus to receive documents brought to him by Hermes.

After looking through it all, he broke his previous hard expression and gave it a soft look.

"Right... Has the demonic noise finally subsided..."

"Yes, that and all thanks to Master Canopus"

Two people who say so and give each other a reassuring look.

It should be noted that this' demonic noise 'is a series of noises caused by demons that sprang from nowhere in such a way as to surround simultaneously the vicinity of Vixen, where they were, and the capital of the king of Mid-Eden, and Carolis, the capital of the king of Merclio, when the waltzes were going to Boreas.

Around Vixen, as we talked about in this story, Julia and Sylvia, along with a piece of energy... in the king's capital of Mid-Eden, Atlas managed to cope with what was made worse than a carriage horse (Bhazama) by Cortex.

And here in Merclio, ahead of Canopus, the king, the Merclio Demonic Knights were dealing with the table (...) direction (...) coming (...), but they alone seemed to have made it extremely difficult to deal with it, and the battle against the demons who were trying to attack the citizens continued until this day.

... It should be noted that she and the Waltz are the only secrets about the fact that she cleaned up 70% of the whole demon that pushed her to Carolis by herself...

Forget it.

In response to reports that such incidents had finally converged, Canopus and Hermes broke their expression... but Strella's expression remained cloudy.

Nevertheless, she gets grumpy when Hermes comes to this room, for whatever reason, most of the time, so something didn't happen in particular, it's the usual reaction...

You noticed how she was, against Strella, a canopus with a fuzzy gaze.

Then Strella...

Puyi

And he put his arms together and turned his gaze in the direction of the day after.

"Um... what's wrong?

"No, it's nothing. Never mind."

Trying to follow Canopus' gaze suddenly and Hermes turning his gaze there, Strella's expression is somewhat angry.

In Hermes' eyes, who doesn't know what's inside of her, it may have looked like Canopus and Strella were fighting.

On the other hand, Canopus wrote the king's signature 'confirmed' in the report he received from Hermes, without looking particularly concerned, because Strella's reaction was the same as usual, and returned it to her.

Look sideways at such a series of interactions...

"(Interrupting... Wouldn't you like to go home soon...)"

Thinking, grumpy, Strella putting an empty cup on her lips...

But there's no way that the silent pressure she emits leads to Hermes... and ruthless (?) nor did I see any sign that Hermes was going to leave as it was...

"Oh, speaking of which, Master Canopus?

She began to ask Canopus in such a light-hearted way that she had heard of it somewhere.

"Shouldn't you be on vacation for a little while? Until recently, it was packed to get rid of the demons, so I don't think anyone will complain if they slow down tomorrow or so, right?

"Hmm... But there's post-processing... It's not that easy."

With that said, Canopus began to turn his neck to untie his elaborate shoulders at his desk with the pen he had.

Look at that...

"... Oh, yeah!

and Hermes, with his hands together, came up with a look that came up with something.

... and this is what she said.

"Then let me rub your shoulders while you cross the line! My husband likes it, doesn't he?

Gatan!

The moment Hermes utters the word, Strella suddenly rises, knocking down the chair she was sitting on.

At that time, the cup on the desk collapsed with me, but it didn't contain any contents, so is it lucky that it didn't overflow?

However, unfortunately, the 'lady' elegance she was sticking to her face seems to have easily broken and peeled off...

"Is that it? What is it? Master Strella?"

"Oh, you, you have a husband, don't you? What the hell are you thinking about body touching a man that hasn't been around since you met him like that?!

I hadn't touched her yet, but against Hermes, who was tricking her to rub her shoulder while nicking, Strella pressed on to her, with her hands on her hips and frowning.

Hermes then dropped his shoulder small and opened his mouth with regret.

"You did... It was something that Master Canopus was so charming..." chill.

Canopus tilting one's neck because Hermes and Strella were arguing over what, and couldn't even understand what the gaze directed at them contained.

"Attractive... (... father... could it be a blunt character...?

The unexpectedly weak reaction of Canopus also seemed to have completely detoxified Strella and lost the word to give back to Hermes.

After seeing how Strella was doing like that, Hermes had a satisfied look for some reason...

"Now, let me leave the shoulder rubbing to Master Strella, and I'll leave you here at your leisure"

With that said, holding the paperwork aside the same way I did when I came, I honestly tried to get out of the room.

In doing so, she threw a wink at Strella in a meaningful way because...

"Hey... (Ha, you tried...!

... so-called, old-fashioned, I guess.

Gacha...

And Strella and Canopus, who are going to cut two again.

"... what's going on? Strella?"

"No, nothing... nothing..."

In the end, Canopus didn't seem to understand what kind of interaction they were having until that sub audio...
