Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And six days later.

"Hatch (Airport) Complete ~"

"Done ~"

Waltz and Lucia raised their voices in front of a huge horizontal hole stretching from the underground large workshop to the north side of the Wang Capital.

"A ship passes through here?

and Lucia calling the air battleship thing a ship.

I've never seen a real ship floating in the ocean, so it looks like Waltz and Tempo are using the term ship they say from time to time as the name of an air battleship.

It should be noted that its appearance does not resemble that of a ship.

"I'm going to. Now Lucia doesn't have to use metamagic to get in and out of battleships."

"It is..."

A little, unfortunately looking Lucia.

"Or did you want to?

"Yeah, nothing!

"... yes"

Seeing how she seemed to behave healthy at first glance, Waltz added words.

"Do you think I'll ever ask you to move in and out of a battleship?

"Yeah!"

Then Lucia shook her tail and smiled.

After all, he seemed happy to have his sister shake his job.

"Now that we're ready for (...) this (...) chi (...), shall we go to everyone"

Waltz's ready to say.

That is, preparations for the imminent launch of the battleship tomorrow.

Everyone had a role to play, and in the case of Waltz and Lucia, it was the construction of hatches for the entry and exit of battleships.

Well, in their case, it wasn't just that, it was also making parts and gear for costumes...

So over the past two weeks, all my people have been stuffed to work.

So Waltz, for all of us, had one surprise planned... which would be told later.

Well, that's anyway.

Waltz and the others who installed the air battleship entrance/exit (hatch) in the large workshop walked back to the battleship where everyone was working (loading).

Then, turning to the waltzes walking in, a view of one giant battleship parked in the middle of the large workshop came into their eyes.

(Yeah, that's beautiful streamlined)

The battleship, which was finished with a large costume, was characterized by a grey body close to white and a streamlined shape with little protrusion.

It doesn't have a tail on it where it's called a passenger plane, but instead, the main wing curls upwards at an angle of about 45 degrees diagonally, a mechanism that acts as a steering rudder instead of a tail.

The weapon class, on the other hand, was installed in such a way that it was embedded on the surface of the fuselage so as not to become air resistant.

So at first glance it doesn't look armed... but that's the world of waltz hobbies (?).

It has been the case before, and various uniforms have been installed...

Waltz and the others walked away looking at the exterior of such a battleship, the first thing that came into my eyes was

"... I knew you had to ride, didn't you?

... was the figure of a swordsman trampling with his own luggage in front of a talap stretching from a battleship (a staircase to get on and off).

"What are you doing?

"Hmm? Oh, Lord Waltz and Lord Lucia. No, actually, I don't like airships..."

"Hmm. You're here sometimes. People like that."

To the words of such waltz,

"Will Lord Waltz understand?!

Swordsman with a full smile for some reason.

"... maybe no one has ever understood or anything like that?

"Oh, you're right. Until now, I've been forced to ride with sleep magic hanging on Leah, but this time I can't even do that..."

A swordsman who says so and exhales.

"Well, it sucks when you fly, I think you should get Catalina some sleeping pills... but you're not flying yet, are you?

"No, you mean it just makes me sick to imagine something even if it's stopped... ugh!!

I didn't vomit, but a swordsman with a blue face.

"Maybe not anymore..."

To some pitiful swordsman, waltz and lucia pointing their gaze of pity.

"Even though it's beautiful on the sky..."

It was when Lucia shrugged like that.

"What's going on with everyone? Stop here."

For some reason a hunter with a hunting tool appeared.

Apparently, he's going to bring it in as personal effects.

Will we hunt in Merclio as well?

"Mr. Swordsman doesn't like flying boats."

"Hmm? Right..."

A hunter who shows Waltz's words how convinced he is somewhere.

Then she approached the swordsman...

"Hey... sister (huh)?!

... I lifted the swordsman lightly, not wearing armor, but in quite a good physique.

That's also with a princess hug.

"Awesome strength..."

Lucia turned her sparkling gaze against the hunter.

"Yeah. The lines are thin, but wow..."

(Well, it's enough to cut 1000 demons, so I guess he's got a fair amount of health...)

But I wonder if it's a good idea for the lady (Ohimesa) to lift the swordsman.

Finally, I don't want this to happen to Lucia...

After lifting the swordsman,

"Well, I'll carry the swordsman, so you asked for the package, huh?

With that said, the hunter disappeared into the battleship.

"... I wonder what you just left your luggage for..."

Since the departure is tomorrow, there is nothing we can do to bring in only people.

Either way, he had to leave his luggage here as it was, so Waltz, with Lucia, headed to the bridge, floating with gravity control for two.

Looking at the hunter lowering the swordsman on the bridge,

(Those two, absolutely, you're done...)

Waltz thinking about the relationship between the two.

Sometimes it is about them who always act together.

Waltz thought it was just the birth of a couple, etc...

"What do you say? Have you settled down a little?

and hunters.

"What?! Oh, yes. Calmed down."

... On the contrary, an excited swordsman.

To such a swordsman, the hunter said.

"Actually... Once upon a time, I didn't like airships either."

"Eh..."

I was listening to the exchange between the two of them, not only waltz and lucia, but also voices from my people who were on the bridge.

Apparently, everyone was listening to the hunter and swordsman.

"But now I can ride without any problems. My father brought me here the same way."

With that said, a hunter with a look that reminds him of the old days.

The Swordsman, on the other hand,

He had a difficult look on his face somewhere.

Maybe he thinks he's not treating himself like a little girl.

"Next time you're afraid to get on the airship again, tell me. 'Cause I'll bring you back."

That's what I said, a hunter smiling at a swordsman.

"Oh, yes..."

The swordsman could only reply to her like that without being able to get in.

(This... hasn't been around for a while...)

Those who were there thought the same thing as Waltz, laughed bitterly, and went back to their work.

This evening in the Royal Castle conference room, at the end before departure (?) briefs were opened.

"Well. In the meantime, the rough arming is over. We're ready to leave at any time, but... what about everyone?

"What do we do? 'That means that we can still turn back now.

Sell fights to the gods by turning.

It would not be unlikely that he would lose his life either.

In response to such a waltz question,

"You're a lotus student."

and the hunter opened his mouth.

Seeing that the other members have the same look on their faces as the hunters today, I guess they all have no objection to their companions.

"Rather, isn't it quicker to find a member who won't go?

"Then raise your hand if you don't go!

... a very light nori waltz when it comes to going for an exchange of lives.

"... can I go with my concubine, too?

In response to such Teresa's words,

"Yep. Of course it is ~. Wang capital has me ~"

Cortex responds.

"Oh, yeah. Cortex? I need Atlas or Strella, can you lend it to me?

You remembered when you saw Cortex's face, Waltz suddenly mentioned that.

"Yep. I don't mind ~. In this case, you're from Strella ~. Please take me with you."

"What... about what?

Strella in a way that doesn't keep up with understanding.

"Simply put, a pilot."

"... because when Sister Waltz and Sister Tempo go out, there will be no one left to fly the battleship?

"That sort of thing"

"Well, I hate to steer the brave men's ships, but I'd rather have my sisters' ships"

Then,

"So I'm going to pilot the brave men's ship?

Atlas speaks up.

"That's the thing ~"

"... Something tells me I'm the only one who's going to be far away and can't come back..."

Current battleships cannot be manipulated without Guardian knowledge, so building a completely homogeneous ship will require dedicated pilots for the Battleships of the Braves.

"Until semi-automation comes to light."

"I feel like it's going to be something..."

In the end, Atlas seems afraid he'll be escorted into Demon King's Castle.

In any case, Strella was to be in charge of the operation of the battleship on which the Waltz and the others would board.

"So, who says you're not going?

Waltz asked again.

"We can go, of course, right?

"Yep. I don't think I have a better option to stay here because I think I can use it just fine."

"... I thought you'd say that."

and Swordsman.

"Will we be in the role of delivering the brave men while Lord Waltz is dealing with God?

"You know exactly what I mean. Well, it wouldn't necessarily be brainwashed, so it'd be dangerous."

"It doesn't matter if you just defend yourself."

A wise man seems to fully understand his role.

"And since it's dangerous, I personally want Lucia to stay..."

"What?!

"... but I figured we'd go together because I feel it's more dangerous to be alone"

"What?! Ugh, yeah..."

As a waltz, I wanted everyone to stay here, but perhaps everyone should be blinded to God, so I couldn't deny the possibility that keeping my people out of her sight could do harm where I didn't know they were like the Cortex last time.

Besides, if Waltz loses to God, there will be no one to shelter them.

Then, even if it was somewhat dangerous, I thought it would be better if I could act with my people until the last moment without regret.

... Well, in Lucia's case, I couldn't be alone for another reason.

"What about you, Sylvia?

and waltz asking her, a former angel.

What the waltzes do from these is synonymous with attacking their homeland.

You'd be on the side against the attack if you were supposed to, but...

"If the god of the Merclio Empire is doing something wrong and he says that Waltz will do something about it, I will never mind. Besides, if the other angels fall for me, there's a chance I can go home, too... I can only give you directions, but if you don't mind, I'll do my best with a little force."

She also chose to act with the waltzes.

"Well... I'll take care of the directions."

"Ha!"

Bishi!

and Sylvia saluted.

"... then everyone. Departure is tomorrow morning at 8: 00. What you have left to do by the time you leave"

Then...

"Huh?! Oh, sushi shop..."

One addicted patient was in a state of panic,

"Rest assured, Lucia ~. We have pre-ordered 100 servings. I was wondering if it would be delivered at 7: 00 tomorrow ~"

"... true? Cor?"

"Yes."

"Yes!

That's what I say. Gyuh. Lucia hugging Cortex.

"... Something feels like I'm being held, and I'm not in a strange mood..."

With that said, Teresa rubs her body.

"... then you can leave tomorrow at 8: 00, okay?

"Yes."

"Well, Dismissed!"

Thus, the last meeting at the Royal Castle before the departure (?) was over...
