"It's the land I built... but isn't there only land for now? How do you claim to know where your land is from... eh? Put the right furniture in the four corners and connect it with a rope? That way, anyone can break the rope and change the area of the land... what? Because I'm watching, if you do something wrong, it'll go away? Like in town? No, I won't."
The night the town was overhauled and a vast expanse of land was created to form the foundation of the town. Waltz, who broke up with Lucia after returning to his country to replenish Inari sushi, was visiting Nur's place alone.
So Waltz asked Null about the situation, but it seems that Waltz unexpectedly frowned on the contents. Because everyone in town thinks that Waltz is constantly watching for policing and irregularities. If you're moving to work illegally, Waltz will come directly to punish you... with enough power to turn the town into a flat one. Such a childish urban legend (?) seems to be spreading.
"Null... you said there might be a riot, right? Well, maybe, but did you think you could use me to push it in? No, I'm not saying I'm sorry...."
Null, who was drinking tea, tried to swallow such a waltz's words... And I started responding.
"Absolutely not, Master Watts. If I had known from the outset that this was possible, I would have consulted directly without going around."
"Well, that's also true... We are partly responsible for the town becoming chaotic, and it is also Eve and Yuki's wish....."
"No, Mr Watts is responsible...."
"No, it's okay. Perhaps because I think that the responsibilities you are thinking of and the responsibilities I am thinking of are a little different. Never mind."
"Eh...."
What does it mean to have different responsibilities...? Null thought bothering her head, but she couldn't find the obvious answer.
Naturally. Null seemed to think that Waltz was "responsible" for the damage he did to Vixen by fighting the Labyrinth and Ecleria, but it wasn't there that Waltz was responsible for.... Waltz felt responsible for the labyrinth runaway and for the ecclesians behind this war, who were from the same modern world as Waltz, and who were not originally human beings in this world, wandering around the other world on their own. It was only natural that for a null who did not know the existence of the modern world, it was impossible to understand.
Waltz seemed to understand that. However, when she talked about the details, she thought the story would be stubborn, and Waltz didn't talk about the details and decided to end it without knowing. They decided it was the best solution for Waltz and Null.
That's why Waltz was listening to Null explain the situation--
Concentrate...
I hear a knock on the door of Null's office.
"Come in."
Gacha.....
When Null gives permission to enter, the door opens and a maid dressed girl with yellow hair appears from the other side. Eve was the star of today's awards ceremony.
"Good evening, Nul-sama... and maybe Waltz was there. Did you both call Eve?
"Oh, I did. I thought I had to apologize to him."
"Apologize...?
"I used it."
"Ah, I decided to remodel the town with my new princess, Eve."
"I'm late to tell Eve, but he wants us to succeed him if anything happens to us."
"Ah, that might have surprised me a lot. What do you mean?"
"Isn't that Eins... that means you admired Yuki? Borealis officially admitted it. I, and the other sisters, judged him to be capable enough. Of course, you may decline because of the incident. Well, if you refuse, if you go further, it's after most of the town's remodeling has cooled down."
Null turned to Eve with a loud smile. Eve, on the other hand, looked up at Waltz's face to relay his gaze, and he had a speechless expression. Waltz asks such an eve.
"You need help?
"I don't know... how did this happen?"
"Isn't that because the future you won was like this?
"Won... the future?
"Yes, the future you won with your own power. Not only cooking and laundry cleaning, but also developing tactics and strategies, having a wide range of knowledge, and not being able to apply things halfway... At that age and at that level, Null decided it was promising in the future. Well, if you don't want to go back to Borealis, you'll have to get a job in Middle-Eden in the future, but I think it's more promising than Cortex, so maybe there's only the chairman."
"Eh...."
"Well, isn't it just right? If you admire Yuki, the former emperor of Boreas, as your sister, then it's only natural that you should be in that position... or you can't balance it.
Waltz put his hand on Eve's head.
Eve, on the other hand, seemed to think that Waltz and the others were joking at first. But neither of you will ever say "joke".... Results--,
"... maybe I'm serious."
--Eve has come to understand his destiny. However, it seemed different from admitting it.
