Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The water dragon pressed some button. I don't know what kind of button it is, but I can assure you that the only thing that would definitely have been stuck in her finger when she pressed the button would have been to make the current situation a little better.

But she didn't get what she wanted. It wasn't the emergency stop button, it wasn't the power button, it wasn't the shutdown button.

Njujujuju...!

The thickness of udon that comes out of a fully automatic udon maker swells up about 10 times. The noodles, which became roughly 100 times thicker in terms of area and volume, flowed to the next cooling step.

The noodles, which became like another dish, were cooled without any doubt by the hands of the dragon's men who were working in the downstream process, then cut to moderate length by the hands of Rosemary and distributed to the people along with the special soup made by the hunter. From the expression of the people who ate the ultra-thick noodles, it seemed that the smile of happiness was zero without exception, and even though it was a thick noodle, it was well cooked inside.

"... it looks different."

The dragon, who realized that he had made a different choice, pressed another button.

Then the shape of the noodles changes this time. Until now, it used to be a super thick noodle of about 3 cm square, but this time it turned into a super thick noodle of about 1 cm × 9 cm.

The noodles also flowed downstream, eventually behaving like people lined up. But people's faces never stop laughing... Looks like everyone was happy to eat flat noodles.

"Hmm, I'd like to try some mackerel... no, it wasn't that far now", Pochi.

The water dragon pressed the button further.

After that, she kept pressing the wrong button. Sometimes it seems that noodles that are too boiled and soft and very fine noodles have appeared, but they are generally popular with people.... It seemed like they would be happy to serve any kind of noodles at the earliest. Alternatively, I can't deny that the combination of settings adjusted by the water dragon was just a setting that happened to be suitable for everyone, but it may be said that her choice was right in a sense, but in a sense it was wrong.

After all, her goal is to shut down the device and release the overloaded Eves. Because making noodles that are acceptable to people is not the purpose of the water dragon.

"Kh! I'm getting hungry... No, leave the food alone. We need to help Lord Eve first!

All fights lost so far. No matter which switch was pressed, the machine did not stop. Even though I had already pressed more than half of the switch, it seemed like I was doing it deliberately through the mechanical voice dementia at the earliest. But needless to say, the water dragon is not doing it on purpose.

"Tamamu... It's time to stop...!/(adv-to, adv-to) (1) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) chirping/(2) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) chirping/

The water dragon pressed a new switch while begging for it. There are only a few left. I began to wonder if the water dragon actually had a switch to stop the machine. Finally, there is a big change in the machine's operation.

Vivienne.....

The operating noise of the internal motor dropped sharply.

"This is it! Finally found it....."

And while the water dragon was relieved, the situation began to develop in an unexpected direction.

Gakong!!

Gakong!!

Vivienne...!!

Regardless of what sounds like a change in the machine inside, the motor started moving again and something different from udon emerged from the exit.

"... bread?

As the dragon said, it was bread that came out of the exit of the machine. They also have bread made from wheat, water and salt, the exact same ingredients as udon.

"Hmm... I've heard rumors that bread and udon are made from the same ingredients...."

And the water dragon floats with a convincing expression and observes the bread coming out. Apart from the fact that the surface is scratchy and fox colored, and the inside seems to be plump, it comes out of the exit almost in the same way as udon... Exactly like when the udon came out, it seemed like a long, uncut bread was being made.

However, it seems that during the cooling process, the bread could not be cooled with water ---

--Everyone's eyes finally focused on the water dragon. The gaze must have said:... what the dragon is playing with.

The dragon that sees it will be in a hurry. Up until now, I've pushed the buttons one by one to check their functionality, but as early as I could, things didn't allow for prediction.

"Yeah, sure!" Pochi, Pochi, Pochi, Pochi.

One of the remaining buttons should be a switch to stop the machine... The water dragon pushed all the remaining switches from one end.

Immediately after---

Zuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

--and wheat backflowed out from the entrance of the machine. It seems that the wheat that was about to be pinched inside failed to follow the sudden shutdown of the machine and exploded and blew it out.

As a result, from the entrance of the machine, Eve, who was just about to put in wheat, would bathe his whole body with both the reflux wheat and the wheat he was about to put in... Synergy with similarly blown water (?), ---,

"... Keho"

--It seems to have turned into a pure white creature.
