Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The next moment.

Waltz was floating in the blue sky somewhere.

A vast forest of blue, two suns, a huge moon visible even though it is daytime.

She was floating in a landscape that was not supposed to exist in Japan in the modern world.

Or maybe you should describe it this way.

- When I realized it, it was falling upside down, he said.

"Hey, wow?!

Falling, rather than entering the atmosphere, waltz falling to be sucked into the ground at a rate that would be better described as.

At that time, either because her speed was over the speed of sound, or the ambient air compressed with fierce momentum, relentlessly heating her body.

If you consider the distance from the ground, the speed, and her posture, even if Waltz moves immediately into a state of flight, falling to the ground would be inevitable.

(Irrational!

Even as he contemplated his next course of action, looking at the imminent ground for a moment, Waltz managed to prepare himself for the collision by taking a shock-resistant stance.

By the way.

They Guardians have anti-gravity reactors in their bodies, so it is not impossible to stop them immediately just because of the air resistance if they keep the mass close to 0 unlimited.

Nevertheless, they couldn't afford Waltz's neuro-chip, which was in a state of confusion, enough to realize that......

She seemed to have had to fall to the ground, unable to deal with it properly either.

And roughly two seconds later.

Waltz fell in momentum as it was into the woods, the moment he collided with the ground...

Zdwong!!

produced a tremendous shock wave, along with the explosion that

That's not all.

While knocking down the forest trees, form a crater about 200 m in diameter on the ground and let the animals and plants that lived there vanish in an instant......

At the end of the sentence, friction heat and heat from insulated compression seem to have burned up the forest.

Well, because the forest contained enough moisture, it didn't seem to just extend the burn.

On the other hand.

The tense person who wore the big hole there...

"Phew... I just thought I was going to die... Damn, who is it? The one who said that if it fell to the ground, there would be a puppet hole..."

When he stood up as if nothing had happened, he seemed to have begun to check his situation.

Apparently, the "Guardian” makes a big scar in the woods, which should also be called a disaster, but not to that extent.

Though it didn't seem intact to the boulder.

"Wow... did the shock break a lot earlier..."

Waltz with the head of the hologram figure, making sure the durability of the arm and foot actuators sacrificed to offset the impact is reduced to about 30%, both left and right.

When this durability reaches 0%, it becomes impossible to repair itself and needs to be replaced...

Conversely, if even 1% remains, self-regeneration is possible by using the nanomachines built into the body.

But...

"The spatial control system is 0%... Awkward (first)..."

The system activated in an attempt to practice concealment of manoeuvre armor seemed to have been completely broken.

It also seems that the circuit became unbearable and broken because it did not break due to the impact, but because it supplied excessive energy at the first start-up.

In short, it just started and broke.

Nevertheless, it's not like I can't fix it permanently......

With blueprints present inside the waltz, it would have been repairable if large installations for new production had been built.

For that reason, Waltz pushes the spatial control system to the corner of his brain...

Now it looks like he's turned his gaze to the perimeter.

"Where are we... I mean, at a point when there are two suns, it's not Earth, is it?

and waltz to such a conclusion looking at the yellow and blue suns I have never seen and the big moon full of craters covering about 20% of all heaven.

And she came to another conclusion.

"This... I knew it was caused by activating the space control system..."

In other words, she thought that she had come to a planet that was not Earth in an attempt to inflict manoeuvring armor on an out-of-phase space.

If that's true...

While the space control system is broken, she will not be able to return to the garden of the house where she was just now.

That's it.

For about five minutes to repair the area with reduced durability, Waltz did not move from the spot and seems to have used observation equipment mounted within manoeuvre armor to gather information on the planet.

And four things I found out.

The first is that temperature, air composition, gravity and other elements needed to sustain life are very similar to those of the planet.

This means that Waltz, who needs a meal to replenish his energy, has no problem continuing his activities.

The second is that the rotational cycle, the rotational cycle, of this planet is about the same as that of Earth.

24 hours a day.

And one year is about 365 days ± 5 days.

In this short time, we didn't seem to know the exact length of the year.

The third is that the positional relationship between this planet and the big moon, and the Sun, is always the same.

In other words, the moon is the same time every day - climbing from the other side of the horizon around noon and sinking after midnight.

And the fourth is that we were unable to detect the kind of radio waves….

At last, it can be said that not so advanced a civilization is developed on this planet.

With that in mind, the physical restoration is over...

Looks like Waltz decided to fly to the outer ring of the crater when he stood up to make sure his body was in good shape.

◇

"Yeah, it's a massive natural destruction, as I expected. If I'd done this near the house... my brothers would have bogged me down... Good point, maybe 50 years for planting...?

and waltz that squeals such a joke and then exhales deeply into the trees of the blown woods, looking from above.

Then she started walking in the rough woods as she stepped down to the outside of the crater.

So she realizes that there is.

"This planet... I knew you had animals"

Even though he was already breathless, an animal like a deer was lying there.

There are forests around and a small number of animals......

Besides, if you consider that the length of a day or a year is the same......

This planet is not an exaggeration when it comes to earth and melons.

Then walking on the beast path, which was in the depressed woods, for about two hours.

According to the bio-response sensors on the waltz, the animal itself seems to be nearby, but sometimes it didn't come close, as if avoiding her...

As she continued to walk silently, she looked into the ecology of the plants that never escaped, etc.

Specifically, if the fruit resembling strawberries is fruitful, I will just twist and taste it, and so on.

"(Yeah, strawberries... rather than wild strawberries. It feels sinister, but I wonder if this is the case if the variety has not been improved. Well, it's pretty sour, but it has a slight sweetness... you don't hate it)"

Waltz walks somewhere happily through the woods, thinking about things like that, and then again, mouthing various nuts, and mountain vegetables.

Apparently, the nutrients that people like amino acids and vitamins will need are no different from those on Earth.

After assuaging herself by making sure she had no problems replenishing the energy from her diet, she began to think about the future as she walked through the woods.

"(I have to figure out a way back to Earth, how do I get home?

The only possible way back to Earth is to reboot the space control system, but as mentioned, the space control system was damaged when she came to this planet.

I mean, if you're going home, you're going to have to fix the system.

Just.

Even if the spatial control system worked correctly, it didn't necessarily mean we could get back to Earth on target.

In the first place, coming to this planet is in itself something she could not have predicted.

If the system is inadvertently activated, there is no denying the danger of being flown by an unexplained star again.

Waltz couldn't imagine how much time and effort it would take to repair the system, but there was just plenty of time because the Guardian didn't have a lifespan, happy or unhappy.

Besides, they also seem to have trouble with food, so desperate situations, that doesn't seem to be the case.

And then Waltz says he keeps walking as he thinks about how to fix the system...

When the suns set quite a bit, the way the forest was interrupted came into her eyes.

(Finally, the woods will run out...)

Walk a few hours to here.

It would have been a flash of distance if I could have flown, but Waltz never tried to fly, except to get out of the crater and see what was going on around him.

It's your own survival (?), because I wanted to do a scientific investigation, among other reasons......

Waltz himself, because strolling is his hobby, seemed to be the biggest reason.

It must have been a pleasure for her, too, because she could observe the flora and fauna that she had never seen.

Anyway, Japanese forests in the modern world were losing their diversity and following a path of devastation...

Well, aside from that.

Jumping into the eyes of Waltz through the woods were the vast hills and the small woods dotted in them.

In such a landscape, there seemed to be only one place, a mixture of things that were not natural.

"Hmm? Village? Smoke?"

From the small height where she was, two or so hills over, I saw a building lined up with brick stone and wood.

As far as that goes, apparently there are intelligent life forms living on this planet.

Depending on the size of the settlement, she's probably right, the village, something like that.

However, there was a number of black smoke rising from that village, which never seemed peaceful.

"(Could it be... that kind of civilization?

Huh, it was a waltz that imagined a world at the end of the century, but when I shook off my thoughts all the time...

She didn't have a particular destination to go to, make sure that the optical camouflage of the manoeuvre armor was working properly, and then display only the hologram figure.

And he began to move his feet toward the village where he found them.

"(Um, considering the progress and similarity of civilization, it's more of an array than a planet different from Earth...... otherworlds, he said)"

With that in mind, Waltz, who was walking in swallowing (relaxation), approached the village about 100 meters away - that's when it happened.

Bipedal organisms and multiple animals chasing them suddenly pop out of the shadows of the building into their eyes.

(Yeah, you're human no matter where you look from. Glad you didn't grow tentacles.)

Waltz stroking down his chest, remembering the Martian imagination he saw in his big old dossier.

As she observed such a shadow and the green animals, she seemed to have figured out the structure step by step.

Apparently, the shadow - the girl is being attacked by the animals.

Waltz feels some discomfort in the way such a girl looks.

Somehow, it had a girl's head and hips, pointy beast ears like foxes, and a fine tail.

(When I say different worlds... well, he's a beast, really?

While I remember the characters that are likely to emerge in such a story somewhere, at the same time Waltz thinks.

Girl in front of you (?) Is it really a girl?

Does the base sequence exist?

Do you have a gender in the first place......

First time to see an otherworlder (?) before, there seemed to be a swirl of doubt and curiosity in the waltz

◇

Change your perspective.

The girl who jumped out of between the houses was running around desperately trying to escape the animal she was trying to attack herself.

... but unlucky, the pebble that was on the ground takes my foot and I fall.

Dossa......

"Fugu...?!

I groaned at her.

"Gah, gah!

Small, green human life form - the so-called goblin looms from behind, and he wields a stick, trying to beat the girl up.

…………

To that so much fear, the girl who closes her eyes and shrinks.

And she prepares to die...

But after all this time, the stick never seemed to fall on me.

As a result, the girl slowly opens her eyes to see what's going on around her, even though she's scared...

Behind her expectations, Goblin's figure was still there, and she seemed to have left her stick shaken up against the girl.

However, what is different from the last minute is that the goblins were not looking at the girl and were pointing in the direction at a right angle to her - that is, the street leading out of the village?

Look at that.

"... Huh?

A girl who speaks such a voice of doubt when she says she's in the middle of being attacked.

The next moment...

"Gah?...... Grr......!

The goblins start running at full strength......

And I ran away from her.

If you like, it's as if you've seen something horrible...

I didn't understand what the hell happened to the girl I met at the bottom of confusion and fear......

Anyway, she sighed heavily, feeling that she had taken off the crisis.

And what came before her in a way that replaced the goblins was a blonde, blue-eyed woman dressed in a design she'd never seen.
