In the woods where they had descended, there was a grassy area that was not so tall. Tall waltzes walk, but the grass is not buried, and the gap between the tall conifers grows briskly. Such a place.

Here, in winter, the snow seems to be piling up quite a bit.

"What? Why did you think that?"

"The place where there is no snow accumulation is a bit different, so it is more dense and lush, and the forest is dark." The sea of trees? Compared to that, this is a kind of plant that withers every winter, and because it is short, you can see the sky. Moreover, the growing trees are conifers that are resistant to the cold. "

"Hmm. Why are you so familiar with it?"

Because my hometown is like this?

"... I see. (Onee-chan, do you want to go home?)"

Lucia, who didn't miss the fact that the expression on her waltz was a little cloudy, suddenly thought of it. Lucia realized that Waltz's loss of mobile armor had left her with no means of returning to her confident homeland.

But Lucia couldn't confirm that. I was afraid to ask. I was afraid that the Waltz might have lost his mobile armor and been unable to return home because of his intimidation.

As a result, Lucia's expression became cloudy. However, just before that, when she noticed her reaction, she shook her face in a hurry... Then I switched the subject in my head.

I wonder if the forest in my hometown village was a little more depressed?

"Ah, when I came to this world, I fell into the forest near that village, but it was definitely depressing... I guess it was a deep forest." It was a snowless forest. "

"What's wrong with your view of the forest?"

"Huh? Isn't it important that it's easy to walk or difficult to walk?" Only then can we anticipate the change of the four seasons in the places where we might live in the future. "

"Hmm... I wonder if that's the case..." Was there anything I didn't really care about? "

Lucia used her wind magic to clear the way. As the invisible sickle dances to the left and right, not only the tall grasses, but also the tall trees--

ZUDOOOOO!!

--You can say that it's the earliest you can promise. In addition, the waltz that follows her does not seem to be concerned about the collapse of nature.

By the way, onee-chan.

Yeah?

”Not the magic you've been using... but you can't use the power of science anymore?”

Waltz lost his mobile armor and is now alive. To a certain extent, the waltz ecology (?) As for Lucia, she seemed to have a lot of doubts. "Eating and sleeping..." Among them, there seemed to be a strong interest in the presence or absence of special abilities that were exerted using gravity control systems and the like.

For waltzes --,

"Most of them can't be used anymore, but some of them still have power left to use?" Also, you have the power to act like this and use it again.

--Apparently, I didn't completely lose my powers.

"For example?"

Lucia asks. Waltz naturally points his index finger forward.

I don't know how to use it, but can I use this kind of power?

It was that moment.

don't.....

While the vibration and roar of a heavy object falling on the spot echoed around, something black was ejected from the tip of the finger of the waltz.

The black dot went straight through the forest while distorting the surrounding space and sucking in various things... After a while--

Zgoowoong!!

Exploded. No, it shrank. The black sphere only inflated for a moment, sucking in what was around it, then shrinking and disappearing from the spot.

"It's subtly unusable... this gravity bullet." Yes, it can be adjusted because it is linked to the size of the force, but the shape can only be a sphere.... "

"Onee-chan..."

Yeah? What's wrong?

"... no. Nothing..."

Lucia smiled as if she had given up something. Speaking of which, she seemed to have swallowed something in her mouth, but it was unclear what she was going to say.

Soon thereafter, the two of them went out to a place that seemed like a road. "Then I walked in the direction where the village was..." After that, the two of them will encounter a situation that can be said to be natural in a sense.
