Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

After crouching in front of a Sacubus girl named Rosemary, and at the same height of gaze as her.

Julia started talking to the girl.

"Marie? I might get in trouble for a sudden story... but don't you want to live with your sister?

In response to her inquiry like that, Rosemary answers instantly.

"I refuse!

and mouth, then swell her cheeks, a Sacubas girl about 5 years old.

Then she added:

"Here Marie is, waiting for her mom to come home! Plus, they say you shouldn't follow people you don't know!

Hear that word,

…………

3 adults (+1) who close their mouths and frown.

Apparently, they have to explain to young Rosemary that they are going to (...) ah (...) ru (...) and (...).

i.e.…

"... Marie. Your mom... will never come back here again"

… that her mother, Rosalia, has already left this world, is.

"What? My mom will be home soon, won't she? After a year, she said she'd pick me up!

"That's amazing....... you've been working hard here for a year..."

"Yes. - Absolutely. That's the captain of the intelligence unit.

"Really... (I don't know what to explain...)"

Julia worries her head about how to explain better things to Rosemary, who looks firmer than she looks.

She had a few options for that.

The first thing to do is to be honest with her about her mother's death.

If we were to think rationally, that would have been the most appropriate, but we could not deny the possibility that her young heart would be greatly broken.

Or to tell the right lie on this occasion, to take her out of this house anyway, and to make the story of her mother coming back aye.

In other words, 'gentle lies', you might say.

Nevertheless, one day we have to tell the truth......

At the end of the day...... using Teresa's magic and erasing all her mother's memories from Rosemary's head......

Probably the only way out of the three options, instead of the most brutal, that her heart would not be broken.

Instead, both Julia and Teresa should be left with great wounds in their hearts...

Julia chose among them... No, from the beginning, she wasn't worried about the choice.

It just took time and courage to choose it.

"… Then I have one thing to report to Rosemary, who volunteers to be captain of the intelligence unit. It can be very hard for you to ask that...... are you prepared to accept it?

With that mouth, in my heart...... Julia curses her own weakness.

She couldn't forgive herself for trying to use that mind that Rosemary wanted to be a real intelligence officer.

Still, to Julia, it didn't seem like she was going to change the way she said it now.

Intelligence... or intelligence work, because it's far harsher than a child thinks... and dirtier.

In contrast, Rosemary:

"Hmm.................."

Even though he was young, he seemed to feel the weight of the words that would fly from Julia in the future.

But it was... it still seemed like the back of my admiring mother that made me decide to be ready for her like that.

"... I get it. I ask you!

Listening to that word, Julia opened it again, once her eyes were closed… after a deep breath….

And he opened his mouth, looking straight at Rosemary.

"Now...... Margaret = j (...) Li (...) a (...) s (...) = Shach, Director of the Mid-Eden Republic Intelligence Agency, will tell you. Rosemary. Your mother is infiltrating the former Mid-Eden kingdom... and has died in the battle of honor. So no more... she will never come back here..."

…………

"... I'm sorry. If I were stronger, it wouldn't have happened..."

…………

And there was silence in the room.

Eve, Null and Yuki B all lean down and look spicy......

The unspeakably heavy atmosphere seems to have engulfed it.

Of course that's the same for Julia, who named her real name and spoke the truth......

Especially in her case, she seemed to bite her lower lip so hard that she might bleed.

… but.

Rosemary, who was told of her mother's death, opened her eyes as if surprised... but never cried.

All that or when he rose from the bed where he was sitting, he carried a small backpack that was on the wall… instead he said this to Julia, who had a crying look on her face.

"... I get it. It's no stranger to me whenever I lose my life than when I work for intelligence, my mom said. I'm sure... today was the day. Or one more thing, my mom said. If the day comes, follow the companion who picked you up..."

"... Huh!

Gabba!

Julia holds her when she can no longer stay or stand in the figure of Rosemary, who behaves well.

Although Rosemary was initially confused by her sudden behavior like that......

After a while, she raised her voice and cried.

◇

Then Rosemary calmed down............ rather than

"Sister...... are you calm?

"Oh, that's crazy... why am I crying..." Gu

Rosemary is more comfortable with Julia, who won't cry forever...

Null uttered this inquiry against a small intelligence unit member.

"Marie. I have one question. At first, when I met us, Marie looked me in the face and said 'I finally found you'... What did that mean?

Hear that word,

"Ah... I almost forgot!

He gives a hazy look, then he runs off to the kitchen...... and from there he brings a small object fitted with something somewhat like a crystal and something like a piece of paper.

Look at that, Null opens his mouth again.

"Is that... a demon prop (messenger) for remote transcription?

"Yes, about two weeks ago, this message suddenly appeared!

Rosemary said so, listing the letters that were written on the pieces of paper so that the nulls could see them.

There are sentences written there as if they were hieroglyphics...... apparently encrypted.

But Rosemary seems to be able to decipher that......

She began to recite the text written there so that everyone could see it.
