Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... what shall I do..."

If I had checked properly about the Count, the explosion would not have happened...

The transparent manoeuvring armor (waltz) held its head intact.

If you said you were practicing in the infirmary, Leah (and the swordsman) might be involved as well.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hunter! I may have killed the Count and Catalina just because I didn't check properly."

Waltz releasing the optical camo with that said and bowing his head to the hunter.

against her, who was nearly twice taller than her own height like that.

"Waltz. You just said to me in front of the door, remember? There's still hope. You told me I shouldn't give up, right?

Saying so, the hunter turned a tender gaze.

"... yes. Let's go back now."

Waltz told his fellow faces up.

"Ah."

"Yeah!"

Hunter and Lucia snorting at her words.

And even for water dragons.

"You're coming too, water dragon. Well, if there's a reason I don't want to leave this town, I'm not saying I can't,"

Until a few hours ago, the water dragon, who looked like a demon, was half-baked as it was (total destruction?) Can you blend in with people in the town you did?

The water dragon caught attacking Mid-Eden didn't deserve it, but Waltz was worried about her for once.

But I didn't have to bother asking, and it didn't seem like a no to my husband's perfect water dragon.

"Surely, would you take me?

I've been holding him to Waltz's feet, and I've turned my would-be gaze.

"Yeah, I don't mind. But... do you... do you think it's okay if we don't have water?

With that said, Waltz imagines how a water dragon will look like a dried mermaid mummy.

"I don't know because this is my first time."

"... well, then, shall we come and get some water (mana) so far"

... although there is a strong potential for self-service.

"Well... Lucia. Energize the hunter and his wife... is awkward, so can you send them to the underground workshop?

"Yeah. Ready? Mr. Hunter?"

"Oh. Nice to meet you."

A hunter who bears the Countess who was floating in the universe and nods at Lucia's words.

"Go!

And the moment Lucia laid hands on them, the two appearances disappeared into the void.

"We're going, too, right?

Then Waltz starts floating in the underground aisle, tying Lucia and the water dragon to the seats he made on his back.

"Oh, you know... Lord? What the hell is this?

"Mr. Water Dragon. If you look at it, you'll see.

Lucia answers instead of Waltz to the water dragon who raised her voice of doubt.

At that moment,

Gogogogogogogo...

Waltz began accelerating through the cave toward the exit as he raised the low sound.

... seen by people in town, so of course, make the manoeuvre armor transparent before, is.

Waltz flying a ceiling sled at a low speed of about 100 km/h (...) all (...) luck (...) turn (...).

beneath the eye (on the eye because it is upside down?) Then the vice president, who had just split up earlier, and the people of town, were turning a surprise gaze at them as they flew away at high speeds.

In doing so,

"Deputy! We'll have a rescue team ready in about a day or two, so keep up the good work until then!

and waltz thinking about the half-destructed city, calls that to the vice president,

"... Huh?

... It is unclear whether it passed correctly to the vice president who gave such a look.

And roughly a minute later.

When Waltz and the others came to the door leading to the Count's residence,

"Ugh!

Dgowwwwwwww!!

The charged particles released from the waltz blew the door relentlessly.

She doesn't usually have a choice to open the door and go outside.

"Boulders are the Lord..."

A water dragon with an open mouth that doesn't block it, while saying.

And I was waiting for the waltzes, who jumped out of the blown doors in momentum,

Zahhh...

It was raining heavily.

Apparently, the smoke that rose from the town was used as a basis to form the rain cloud.

Because of this, the flames that were rising from the town are extinguished and it seems unlikely that they will be burned any longer.

But the city had already changed completely.

About half of the buildings in the whole area are burned down, or blackened...

The absence of lights and the dark appearance of South Fortress was not an exaggeration to say that it was abandoned.

At this minute, would it take a considerable amount of time to recover?

Waltz gouges and speeds, and rises altitude, looking sideways at that.

Flying out on the clouds for a while, there was a full starry sky that was no different than usual.

"Why are you seeing the stars when it was raining earlier?

He opened his mouth in surprise at the starry sky where the water dragon suddenly saw him.

Then,

"Uh, because it's on the clouds, right?

We were flying through the dark until we came out on the clouds, but to the view that spread in front of us, Lucia seemed to understand where we were now.

"Well, let's fly, shall we?

Quinn...

And Waltz and the others began their ultrasonic flight towards King's Capital.

A few minutes later.

Arriving to draw clouds, the sky above Wang Du was slightly more cloudy, but the weather fell into the sunny category.

"Tempo? Will you open the hatch?

Waltz puts communications into the tempo within minutes of a giant hatch for energy connected to an underground workshop.

Then a reply will be back from the tempo shortly.

'Got it. Do you need an extinguishing vehicle?

"No, it's burning, not that way..."

"Speaking of which, I was."

From the look of the tempo, it doesn't seem so important.

"I'll open the hatch."

When Tempo said so, the guiding lights lit up like airports in the modern world and huge doors about 350 m long opened towards the inside.

A water dragon who saw such a thing and the appearance of Wang Du,

"... you still had a world you didn't know about..."

He muttered about it as he looked at the glorious Wang Du and the ground (lightning) that suddenly began to shine.

"But didn't you see the ring that came to South Fortress? From me, I was more surprised that way..."

"Sure, that ring surprised me. But do you think there's another surprise to that surprise..."

"Hmm... I guess that's what it is."

Something that is unrealistic and something that you can feel is real.

Maybe that's the difference.

And, as if the waltzes were sucked into a giant hatch while they were having such an exchange, the waltzes break into the underground grand workshop in Wangdu.

And soon we arrived at the side of the energy.

Then,

"Waltz!"

The hunter's voice is heard from Tallap of Energy.

"How was it?! Was Catalina or Count safe!?

When Waltz throws such a voice,

"No, that's..."

The hunter returned a reaction that didn't boil down to anything.

"... something happened to you?

"No, speaking of which, there was..."

A hunter who reacts either way like that.

"... okay"

Waltz apparently stepped on the hunter's words that there was more 'something' than he could say with his mouth.

And after putting Lucia and the water dragon down there, Waltz headed to Tallap in Energy.

To her hindsight like that,

"... uh... waltz?

And, although the hunter spoke with a slight tear, the waltz had already disappeared aboard at that point...

Once aboard, it was as usual there.

Especially if the walls are burnt. It's not anyone, it's not hurt.

A corridor with cold white LEDs stretched out just straight towards the bridge without any unusual appearance.

And the first thing Waltz came to was the bridge where the tempo would be.

This bridge door is supposed to be a human-inspired automatic door, but...

"Is that it? I don't react... if it's manoeuvre armor, there shouldn't be..."

I usually keep it in.

"Could it have broken in the explosion..."

With that in mind, Waltz opened the bridge door in manual opening and closing mode.

At that moment,

"Sister! Why?!"

Sitting in the bridge cockpit, I said that to Waltz, whose tempo came in, and then I wept.

Likewise,

"Mr. Waltz! Didn't you ask the hunter anything?!

Catalina, who looked safe, said so, zeroing her tears.

"... Guru..."

Silanui was also sobbing, holding both eyes.

"... what this atmosphere... the Count is dead... doesn't seem like it..."

Count and Lady sleeping in a temporary bed set in the corner of the bridge.

As far as Waltz can tell, the Count's body never seems to be torn apart or burned.

Instead, she was surprised that her hands and feet were growing, which she should not have.

Apparently, the Waltz and the others completed their treatment in the short time they had flown so far since responding to the Countess.

"Uh... can you explain why everyone's crying?

"Before you do that, close the door!

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Tajitaji waltz on Katarina's sword screen.

Soon after Waltz closed the door, everyone seemed calm.

"So, why were you crying?

"... it's..."

And Catalina started explaining.

"I removed the fist-large sphere that was embedded in the Count's body and dumped it in a disposal container. Looks like it exploded..."

And as if to recall something unpleasant, I said once between them, wrinkling between my brows.

"I ignited the paint (...) fee (...) in the container and smoked. And you know what else?

"Yeah. Thanks. I finally know what happened. I mean, it's my fault..."

Who used the paint that was in the disposal container?

... is waltz.

Red paint with Herchery as the raw material applied to the brave before flying off Merclio.

They had thrown away the container.

And unluckily ignite paint that contains many of the ingredients of Hercherry.

They were all crying when the irritating gas filled the ship.

It should be noted that Waltz did not seem to have noticed because he could not perceive the presence of the stimulant unless he took the object into his body.

Stimulators cannot be detected with odor sensors.

So why were Catalina and the others gathered at the bridge?

This was due to the fact that the tone of the bridge was separate from the hallway and the compartment with the disposal container.

That's how Waltz designed his energy to protect his people from biological and chemical weapons (similar magic), but that worked (?) Apparently.

In other words, he was protecting himself from irritating gases by fleeing to the bridge.

At that time, it appeared that the automatic door had been switched to manual mode so that the bridge door could not be inadvertently opened.

The hunter came out of the energy... because he held his breath, or he got through it with his temper.

(Why didn't you say anything to me, hunter...)

It should be noted that it was Waltz who jumped onboard ignoring the hunter trying to tell us why.

By the way, the bridge is not the only one with independent air conditioning.

The semiconductor manufacturing facilities on board and the infirmary also have independent air conditioning.

So Leah (and Swordsman) should be safe.

Other living rooms, warehouses, etc., all used the same ventilation system.

In other words:

"... that, maybe, Teresa..."

"Ah..."

Is it a conjecture...?

"If you're going to say that, Julia and Sylvia are also taking a nap in their own room, so I was wondering if it's been sacrificed"

Tempo points it out.

"... could you have known and left me alone?

"Yes, because I can't go and help without a gas mask."

"Hey..."

Waltz then went to rescue Teresa and the others as he vented out of the bridge and compressed the air on board with supergravity.

Of course, reassuring that everyone was safe...
