Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Away from the West End where there were pancake shops and clothes shops......

And Eve and Cortex came to East Street, a street lined with restaurants.

It was supposed to be the best restaurant district in the country, crowded even on weekdays...

"Hmm? No one?

Eve, who hadn't digested the pancakes yet, seemed only a little bitter, rubbing her stomach, mouthing her thoughts of the town.

... Yes.

Though it was a little out of time, there were few people in the restaurant district that would have been a waste of time.

"Maybe we all ate pancakes and got hungry?

"Maybe that, Eve, is about a deer ~"

If there was Lucia here, Cortex smiles bitterly, wondering if "Pancakes" might be turning into "Inari Sushi" as it is, etc.

But when she sighed small, immediately after that… she looked sharply toward the township where she hit.

Work mode.............

That won't help.

Or her occupational illness in a position to manage a town or country, perhaps.

As a result...... one thing I found out.

The look on the faces of the people walking in town seemed distinctive.

"... you're just the two extremes ~"

"What?"

"It's either an angry look or a tired look ~... it's the only one, that's the story ~?

"... well, if you say so, maybe so."

"Maybe this feeling, the taste of lunch I had at the restaurant, was terrible for the rest of my life ~. That's also a small number of stores that are going to be terrible..."

How much flavor does it taste like to be furious or gloomy...

It seemed like a difficult situation for Cortex to understand.

Then she thought about the redevelopment of the restaurant district, remembering the three tonnes of demo food she knew... Eve with a frown opened her mouth shaking her head.

"That... might be a little strange"

…… Why ~?

"Because... if you were fed such a terrible thing, it might not be weird to have someone looking disgusting, but someone who looks like that, maybe no one?

"If you say so ~... right ~"

As far as the two could see, people's expressions, as mentioned, were bipolar.

Of course, there were some people there who had other expressions on their faces... and none of them were alone who thought they were eating a meal and looking sick.

Eve noticed that... perhaps because she herself now was close to it...

Well... it may be necessary to state that I was feeling sick because I ate too much of what I liked.

"Master Cole... are you going to look into it?

"Dear Col, is it ~... well, fine ~. Eve's off today, so there's no talking about work ~"

"Really?... Ah! You might want that parfait!

"... that's not a cookie, isn't there a pancake on it ~?

"I love pancakes, so maybe it's no problem?

I discovered something pancake parfait inside a menu (photo by the magic guide camera) that was decorated to be visible from the street and came close to it as if it were sucked up by magnets.

"... Oh yeah ~ (pancakes... are you still eating ~? Why don't you at least make it something else ~?

While swinging her yellow tail to the left and right, Cortex seemed troubled as to whether to say the word against Eve as she rushed over... in the end, she just smiled bitterly and seemed to say nothing.

And Cortex went after Eve.

Karan Cologne......

The table was made of stone, the interior floor was made of wood, etc., and when I entered the general building shop in this world, the smell of sweetness began to dribble through the nostrils of the two.

Modern cafes, etc. are the atmosphere.

I was waiting for two people who went inside such a store... apparently it was just the smell.

"Is that it? I knew nobody..."

"That's crazy ~"

When I said it was supposed to be a crowded time, there were no customers in the store, not even the clerk.

It may be an extreme metaphorical story to describe as if people had suddenly disappeared from the world... but it could be said that it was so unusual that it was not strange to metaphorically do so.

"Maybe... a hazy store?

"No, I don't think so ~? If you're thinking about rent and other expenses, running a hassle shop in a place like this facing the boulevard should be tough ~"

"Oh well... (hmm? That means if it's a hazy store...... it's so expensive?!

Even if very few customers come in, isn't it a store that charges so much that it can continue to operate...

Eve didn't seem to know what the fixed asset tax was, but she seemed to know what the word expense meant... maybe she brought Cortex to the worst store, etc.

Even here Cortex was supposed to pay the fee, so, furthermore, I guess I had a headache.

Then when she realizes the menu that was on the table and looks at the numbers that were written there, she shakes her shoulders tiny...

"... Oh, you're a customer?

From the back of the store, an elderly shopkeeper characterised by a white mustache appeared.

Seeing him holding something like a cunt... maybe people were coming too far and even cleaning in the back of the store.

"Yes, no, still customers s..."

"Yes, it's a little late, but lunch (?) I'm here to get ~"

Looks like Eve was about to say something that was trembling on the chops... but Cortex speaks those words sooner than that.

The gentle shopkeeper then asked the silver-haired fox daughter as if to represent Eve's concerns.

"Sounds like a very young customer, but are you okay with the bill? As you can see from the menu, this store is not so cheap..."

"Huh?"

This is the first time you've noticed me when I was told, Cortex pointing his gaze at the menu where Eve was pointing his finger silently.

The numbers written there seemed to be about one or two more zeros compared to a stall street store that would become South Main Street.

Because of that...

"This... you may not have enough hands ~"

and cortex to mouth.

Seeing how it went, Eve seemed unfortunate... not that he had a look close to relief in one way or another... but that also seemed to be that much of a story.

"Hey shopkeeper, okay ~?

"What's wrong with you? Lady."

"It's for you ~... please bill me here later"

Cortex said so, presenting something like a transparent card to the shopkeeper.

It appears to be the same card I previously presented to the owner of a South Fortress armoury store.

"... Huh?

"Ahhh... Could it be that this store didn't support month-end receivables ~? Then I have no choice. Please deal with receivables now."

…………

With a store owner with a look like stunned, etc. on Cortex's words...... and Eve.

I didn't know what Cortex was talking about. Eve, but what she's saying about tyranny seems to have been conveyed.

Meanwhile... the store owner, he couldn't just be stunned.

A government dignitary in the store... I guess I couldn't have stopped thinking there, considering that I had to count from the top and put someone inside the 1-3.

"No way, you..."

"Oops. You don't have to say any more. It's off now ~. Well, could you even call me the daughter of Echimene Inquirer ~"

…………

From Cortex's words, because he was convinced of her identity or with a difficult look at the way she was going to respond, the shopkeeper seemed to be thinking about it.

If you do something bad, what happens......

Maybe he had heard something like wind rumors about Cortex......

However... based on the condition of the store and the price, it was fully possible to have government officials with customers.

With that in mind, I should just serve the customer as usual...... for some reason, he couldn't seem to do that.

Therefore, the elderly shopkeeper said this to Cortex with an expression of regret that did not suit the atmosphere.

"... I'm sorry. With all due respect, I cannot entertain the Speaker today."

In response to such a response to him, Cortex narrowed his eyes and thought about the intent of his words and how he should respond to them… the maid who was next to her (?), but opened its mouth.

"Grandpa, could something have happened?

"That's..."

In response to Eve's inquiry, he tried to say why... at that time.

Casa casa......

"Huh?!

Something black moved through Eve's sight at high speeds.

Apparently, it was also visible to the store owner...

"... the cause is alle. A strange bug has appeared to be occurring throughout the Wang capital since this morning… as a result of this, I am afraid it will offend the chancellors" mood.

And he spoke of the problems that the stores in this restaurant district would have in common.

The people walking outside had a two-polarized look on their face, which seems to have also been the cause.

Against the words of such a shopkeeper...... but Cortex did not look offended and said it like this.

"Really ~. I don't care ~?

'... Huh?

"Earlier, I saw it too, but I'm not an insect or anything. Right...... let me just say flying mosquito sickness ~. I'd rather not pry any further ~? If you do it badly... maybe you'll get more trouble than I do ~"

…………

Eve with the shopkeeper who hears that word of Cortex and comes up with two different expressions.

It goes without saying that the shopkeeper had a bright blue face...... Eve had a frightened look on his face.

I mean...

"Shit, Master Waltz might have done something."

Apparently.

Apparently Waltz is trying to wipe out all the restaurants in Wangdu by letting something like a bug loose all over the city...
