Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

If Waltz had done the same and broken the item box,

"I broke it! Heh! '

It would have been done with...

But the hunter bowed his head deeply and apologized.

Whether unintentionally or not, you seem to feel responsible for breaking the item box because it was caused by her rampage.

When Waltz and the others turned their gaze to the hunter's palm, the golden ring (item box) did contain deep scratches and was still about to be cut a thousand times.

"Hmm... well, isn't there any choice? I didn't mean to."

"I'm so sorry. Pay for anything..."

"No, I'm fine. If you want to buy it, it's easy to buy it, so... ah..."

That's it. Waltz realizes something.

(... I knew I couldn't buy it...)

Why can't I buy it?

... because most of Waltz's property was in the item box, is.

The assets that have come to this world and accumulated tips are roughly 260 billion gold (yen).

comparable to 1/4 of Mid-Eden's annual national budget.

... although it was not currency, but value as material.

It should be noted that the current waltz handheld is approximately 20,000 gold.

Others had not yet received 20 million gold from the South Fortress Alchemy Guild, but given the current situation, they could not have urged it either.

"Hmm? Anything wrong?

"Yes, no. It's nothing..."

(I can never tell you... I lost hundreds of billions of gold worth of ingredients, I don't know what to say...)

... probably won't keep the hunter spirit all sorts of things.

(... this is a hassle...)

In addition to the ingredients, they included the equipment of their companions and old bangles.

However, the amount of equipment that everyone is currently equipped with and the amount stored in the private room of the energy and workshop is of course safe, so it did not cause that much damage.

(... well, let's think about just the right opportunity to get new gear... I don't have any money)

analogy Mid-Eden Republic (?) even if they are semi-private, they don't get their hands on public spending.

That is Waltz's stance.

(... ma, we can all do demon hunting and mineral mining. ~)

If all of our people could take it, we would be able to reclaim billions to billions of assets in an instant.

... which means there's nothing wrong with it.

"In the meantime, set aside the item box thing and now prioritize measures against people who have become zombies"

To the words of such waltz,

"Ah..."

And the hunter who answered still felt responsible or left a complex look on his face.

"So what..."

Re-split and start talking about Waltz's move to Endercia.

"... I want two days to fix my energy, okay?

Particle accelerator that appeared over South Fortress (?) energy that damaged the mainframe by the attack.

Given the restoration and overhaul of two nuclear fusion reactors, at least two days were needed.

"... is it two days... then can I be getting into Endercia with Lucia's magic first?

And Catalina opened her mouth with a little thought.

Apparently, she's worried about the zombies who are damaging her body.

Then why is she worried about the zombies?

It's okay to be a zombie, but if you're no longer a zombie, like a swordsman, there was a risk that the damage would strike your body abruptly.

In other words, if damage to the body accumulated within the prolonged zombification, it could have crossed a certain line and become a body that cannot live unless it is in a zombie state... i.e. a zombie itself.

He wants to take action before it's too late because it's unclear at the moment, including whether zombies are treatable.

"... after all, we'll talk about restoring energy after this... I'll be there too"

Waltz rethinks that Catalina's words should be dealt with in a hurry.

But...

"No, Mr. Waltz should give priority to the repair of the airship. Without the airship, so do I. But you're all in trouble."

Catalina in such a way that it's enough for me to go.

I want time to save the zombies, but more than I can use metastatic magic, the flying mobile lab (?) I also have trouble without it.

Such as the bitter decision I made in the midst of such a mix-up?

"... dangerous?

If there is a waltz, it is possible to deal with it somehow even if angels and gods (...) appear.

However, it was also certain that Catalina alone had little or no promise.

"So what about the hunter and tempo going together?

"I don't mind, do I?

A hunter who responds instantly to Catalina's words.

"Neither do I."

Tempo looks the same.

"... Still worried. Tempo? I'll lend you my left arm so you can protect Catalina properly."

"Yes, sir."

Tempo to be honored as he receives control of his arms from Waltz.

"And Mr. Hunter. There is no replacement blade, so please use it carefully."

With that said, Waltz takes two daggers dropped by the hunter at South Fortress from the cargo container.

In both cases, the tip of the blade was broken and slightly shortened, but it would not be a problem for use.

"Huh!... sorry Waltz. You picked me up."

"Yes, it may smell a bit (of beef jerky) but never mind"

"What? The smell of the beast is stained, so now it is."

With that said, the hunter confirms the feeling while turning the received dagger over his hand.

... Sylvia (Smell Fetish) seemed to be responding... well, it must be my fault.

"Catalina? I'll be chasing you in two days, so don't get distracted until then"

"Yes, and I'll see what I can do about it by then."

... Thus the Catalinas traveled with Lucia's transfer magic to the Endelusian capital one foot ahead.

"So Cortex? I'm talking about South Fortress..."

Waltz talking to Cortex on the bridge where Catalina and the others were gone and chatter by the rest of us was starting.

"It's about dispatching rescue troops to South Fortress, and transporting relief supplies ~? It's already started ~"

"You're still acting fast..."

"I've got a prediction."

Apparently, yesterday, the Waltz and the others were starting to get ready when they left Energy for South Fortress.

"We are transporting food and other consumables by transfer magic, but for other personnel, etc., it will be travelling by road, so I was wondering if it would take about two weeks before full restoration work begins ~"

"... yes"

It was within a day's travel distance if there was a airship, plane, or airship, but on foot there were mountain crossings and detours, and I had to travel extra distances, so it took me a while to arrive.

Alternatively, there was the hand of moving people on energy, but once we set a precedent, we would have to dispatch energy in a disintegrating manner whenever a similar thing happened, so if we were to think about the balance of the world or the future Mid-Eden, we had no choice.

... There was never a story here that said that could emanate from the mouths of the Waltz and the others, but it goes without saying that, if they had spoken, speaking in front of their fellow people without prior knowledge could create unwanted misunderstandings.

So until now, Waltz had only gathered Homunculus, who had the same knowledge as himself, for meetings to decide on national policies and the introduction of new technologies.

Still, she knew that her peers might think that they were 'underestimating human life' because they were reluctant to give out knowledge or passive about their actions, but she had no choice but to separate them.

And this time, too,

"(... at this point, do you pull the railroad?

Waltz, who uses parametric speakers to tell Cortex and Atlas alone.

The history of the railways itself was quite ancient and even in this world existed in the form of a mine trolley, but no attempt had yet been made to lay it over long distances.

"(Are you sure ~? Shouldn't we avoid excessive interference in this world ~?

Cortex does not speak to the voice, but only performs conversations in the form of a mouth.

"(You don't want to build a powered car, you want a carriage railroad or something?

"(It could lead to excessive development of steelmaking technology ~?

It is said that the development of steelmaking technology during the industrial revolution of the 18th century was driven by the mass production of iron products, starting with railway tracks (rails).

If, then, we bring railway technology into this world, will that trigger an industrial revolution?

Cortex was afraid of it.

"(It's absolutely weird that there's only one way to get around or a horse for the sake of the vastness of the country for nothing...)"

"(That's right, but you don't have a choice, do you? That's the world...)"

Sister's Mourning (?) Atlas moves only her mouth with a frightened look on her face.

"(Sure, I don't know if we need to think of any good ways to do this about domestic mass transit, but I was wondering if we need to think about whether or not to employ railways for a while ~)"

"(... ok. Let's come to a conclusion soon)"

"(I understand ~)"

"(Understood)"

Thus, a simple homunculus conference (?) is over.

... but who the hell could have expected Mid Eden to start walking in strange directions because he didn't make the decision to develop railway technology here?

Well, at the time Waltz came to Wang Capital, things were already starting to move forward, I can't say.

Now, the waltzes were discussing it without sound, albeit for a short time of a few dozen seconds, apart from the fellows on the bridge.

It was only natural that they all turned a strange gaze.

"... why are you looking at your sisters, Kor, and moving your mouth so painfully?

Lucia points it out.

"That's right - because I was telling you a secret story -?

When I say that, it's no longer a secret...

"Do you practice so Lucia can have a secret conversation too ~?

"Eh?... so I can talk to your sister, too?

"It depends on your efforts ~"

"Then I'll do my best!

Cortex has managed to exchange pursuits from Lucia.

Quickly, I seem to be lecturing you on how to read lips, but fulfill it, can Lucia wear it?

"... so what conversation did you have?... Oh, no, I shouldn't ask because it's a secret."

and Teresa.

Isn't it rude to make secrets about people you're supposed to trust, unless it's also a private matter?

Waltz knew that, too.

"... well, we were just discussing the development of a transport network in Mid-Eden. I just didn't say it out loud because I was still uncertain or a little advanced."

I explained only the touch of what conversation I was having.

"That's right. Did I make you pay attention?

Apparently, Teresa could have guessed what kind of story the Waltz and the others were talking about, including the danger of leaking the story.

"No, it's okay. Next time I make up my mind, I'll explain slowly."

"Hmm. Please."

Seeing such an exchange between Waltz and Teresa, the other fellows had a roughly convincing look on their face.

"... and what is it..."

... Some intelligence officers (Julia) seemed to be able to use lip reading, but they didn't seem to understand the content in the first place.

"Well, Lucia. Shall we start restoring energy?"

"Yeah!"

When two people are interacting like that,

"Um... Mr. Waltz"

Silanui called out.

"May I take a tour?

Apparently, Silanui is interested in energy (airship).

"Yep. You don't mind, do you? But there's some dangerous work to do, so stay away from me then."

"Ha!"

Therefore, Silanui was also to participate in the restoration of the energy (tour of).

Meanwhile,

"Then Cortex. You think we're going back to the castle?

"I understand ~"

A water dragon who saw two people just like that,

"... which would be Lord Cortex?

It was solidified when I saw two people with the exact same outfit, tricks and expression.

"Speaking of which, the water dragon still didn't have a role or anything, did it? At this point, why don't you try Teresa's secretary?

and when Waltz speaks to the water dragon,

"Secretary?"

A water dragon with an exclamation mark on its head.

There's apparently no secretary in the underwater world.

"Well, it's like helping... but I don't think there's anything to do..."

Waltz turns his gaze to his sister (Cortex), who is better than himself while saying so.

"No, if I could have a secretary, I was wondering if you could help me out a lot ~"

"Hmm? Helping is what happened?

When Teresa has that question on her face,

"Tea making, customer service response, document collection, material organization, scheduling, rooting, information gathering..."

Cortex began to enumerate his work extensively.

Secretarial work that springs up as much (?) Waltz and Teresa to solidify in.

But the water dragon,

"Can you do that?

He didn't seem to understand the difficulty of his job.

"It's okay ~? Since Master Teresa has always done it, shouldn't I rub half of it ~?

... Apparently, Teresa was not a head of state, she was a secretary.

"... on second thought, maybe he was doing a lot of work..."

He doesn't seem to be aware of it.

"Hmm. Okay, Dear Teresa. Will you teach Non his job?

"Mm-hmm. You don't mind a concubine, do you?

"... then you decide."

Thus, the water dragon was to work for Teresa and the others.

Perhaps it will create a mysterious space (chancellor's office) that will make you feel strange about the times.

It should be noted that with those girls on their asses,

"... the job Cortex said was almost my job..."

and no one noticed that Atlas was blurry.
