Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz with the boy facing him on the bridge.

From others' point of view, the manoeuvring armor (waltz) would have seemed to stare at a space with nothing.

But fortunately, the only people who could possibly witness them were staying up late at night, so Waltz had already returned, so there were no other people here.

Especially when it comes to human beings, it can also be said that no one was there.

Between Waltz and the boy, silent time lasted for a while.

Meanwhile, what Waltz was doing was observing the boy carefully.

The boy, who was visible from Waltz's eyes, wasn't wearing the kind of clothes that humans in this world would wear when she calmed down and thought about it.

The fine designs are different, but they were such outfits as the holographic waltz always preferred to wear just the way the boy wore them.

By analogy, it is like a brother dressed in the clothes of a sister away from her age.

Waltz was the first one to cut the fire after a while.

In order to ascertain the answer to the doubts that were in her mind, she asked the boy (...) Ah (...) Ru (...) and (...).

"... you, what's your number?

The number in this case is the Guardian serial number.

12 for Waltz, but...

"12?"

The boy immediately mouthed the number.

That's the same number as Waltz.

"... that's my number."

"Yeah, but my number's familiar, too, right?

Apparently, the boy is likely a phantom created by Waltz.

Since his original appearance was close to that of a boy, Waltz used him as a 'boy', but if Waltz's created phantom, or... impossible, but another personality, should I say a girl, not a boy?

And two people who will be silent again.

(I don't think it's a multiple personality...)

Waltz actually checks to see if he's doing the operation for two people while checking the neurochip's arithmetic load.

... but apparently that's not what it is.

"... what is the address of the arithmetic sector?

I mean, I asked him which part of the neurochip he was doing the calculations at, but...

"Azasu?

... I could understand the serial number (number), but I didn't seem to understand the information about the neurochip.

(... Normally, it's impossible, but is it worth seeing for sure)

As a result of Waltz's reflection on the various possibilities that come to mind, a cause has emerged that is not an exaggeration to say 'unlikely first'.

To be sure of that,

"... I'm going outside now, so come with me."

Waltz spoke to the boy as he turned to the door.

"... where are you going?

"Outside the energy?

"Yeah... okay"

With those words, they went outside the bridge.

And two people who came all the way down the Tallap of Energy.

This is where Waltz's hypothetical demonstration test begins.

Though... I'm just walking.

"First of all, they're outside the workshop, right?

"Like this?

"Get out of this underground space."

The two of us walked to the front of the elevator while having that conversation.

Then,

"Sister. Are you going somewhere?

Lucia followed me from behind with a worried look on her face.

Apparently, Waltz was distracted by the boy and forgot to deploy an optical camouflage of manoeuvre armor.

"Yep. I'm just gonna go for a walk."

"... shouldn't I go, too?

Lucia seemed worried about Waltz, who was not in normal condition.

Could it be, frah, that he's gone?

Maybe that's what I thought.

"Maybe, from Lucia's point of view, you'll be talking to yourself, but still?

"Yeah!"

Lucia answers instantly without getting lost.

"... well, shall I come with you"

That's why Waltz, the boy, and Lucia, the three of us, got into the elevator heading to the ground.

After an elevator arrived at an empty house near Main Street penetrating the Wang capital north and south, Waltz deployed an optical camouflage before stepping out onto the table.

... but holding hands so Lucia doesn't lose sight of herself when she becomes transparent.

I feel like I'm walking with a dwarf.

My left hand was not here because I was lending it to the tempo, so I couldn't hold hands with the boy, but I couldn't leave, and he was with me.

Apparently, he can see Waltz, even when he is in a state of transparency.

"Wow..."

Such an inspiring voice was the boy who stepped out of the empty house and saw the view outside.

"There's a lot of them."

A boy who divulges that sentiment when he says it's after midnight, all over the main street of Wang Capital, looking at the people of a town that's still making noise.

That said, there were not many extras, things like the usual Midnight King's Capital, but it seemed a strange sight to him.

"... there will be more people in the daytime, won't there?

"More? How much more?

"Well... does it feel like people are everywhere as far as I can see?

"Hmm..."

The boy had a difficult look on his face when he couldn't imagine the words of Waltz, who said that there were more people than there were today.

As far as its appearance is concerned, I guess it doesn't mean, after all, the children of the general public who are in the Wang capital.

"We're going a little further."

That said, Waltz began walking south on Main Street, that is, towards the main entrance.

Waltz is transparent.

The boy is invisible in the first place.

That situation made it look like Lucia was wandering all over the town at midnight by herself from the side, but strangely no one came near.

Instead, it even seemed like people were avoiding about Lucia.

(That... FCS (pressure) should be hanging up... but better than getting tangled up.)

With that in mind, Waltz walks down Main Street illuminated by warm demonic props as if they were having a summer festival.

And to the main entrance, when it was about 100m away.

Jizz...

... suddenly, block noise ran into the boy's appearance.

A boy with a questionable look on his waltz who suddenly stops and looks down.

He doesn't seem to realize that there is a change in his body.

"... Shall we just go a little further?"

And walk away with one step and two.

In the meantime, there was also a sudden increase in the amount of noise in the boy's appearance... and by the time he reached the main entrance, he was almost invisible.

There is something full of square noise, and so on.

After Waltz stopped there, on the contrary, he now began to go back the way he came.

Then, as I saw it, the noise disappeared and the boy returned to his original appearance.

Waltz, who came back to places such as whether he would have noise on him, then went into the sidewalk.

And then he goes on choosing his way to be a certain distance from the royal castle.

In the meantime, the boy doesn't have noise on or...

And Waltz stopped again when he stepped out of the royal castle onto the street leading to the West Gate.

... who the boy is, I see.

And Waltz told him who he was.

"... you, energy."

"Hey Negi? That little guy (...) KO (...)?"

It's your name.

"Me, huh?

He doesn't seem to be aware of it.

"You're hacking me and intervening on the camera and microphone..."

It seemed incomprehensible to the boy, but when Waltz extrapolated from his current situation, that was the only reason he could think of.

The main underground workshop directly beneath the Royal Castle is berthed in energy.

If some kind of radio wave was emitting from the energy to hack the waltz, then the boy's figure should have disappeared if he'd stayed away from the energy.

In fact, he made sure to surround the royal castle (though he only walked a quarter of the way around), making sure that noise would be on him as if there had been a communication failure.

There would be no problem if energy or royal castle were to be considered the source of radio waves.

... Well, I can't even think of a situation that doesn't make sense that for some reason a willing royal castle is hacking a waltz... but no, it won't.

Nevertheless, it's hard to even assume that the energy suddenly became conscious...

In the first place, the energy is equipped with neurochips similar to those of the waltzes (...).

Indeed, although various control systems were installed for flight control, they were all designed specifically for specific applications and did not combine functions that could be diverted to other applications.

So what the hell is it that shaped him?

"... that one. A pump..."

The first thing Waltz remembered, it was an improved turbomolecular pump that he had just replaced.

How can you say that the pump is the cause?

(I guess it was awkward to use an alloy of magic metal...)

In fact, based on the advice of Silanui, it was quickly equipped with a turbine mixed with Orihalcon on the pump.

It was never that the strength was higher than the material used before, but by enchanting it, it succeeded in increasing the strength dramatically.

... It goes without saying that, at that time, the workshop of Wangdu's armoury store was occupied by a mysterious group by order of the chairman, and the shopkeeper and clerk were in tears.

In other words, Waltz thought that the use of Orihalcon alloys in the pump's turbine had caused her incomprehensible effects to spill over the entire energy, resulting in the birth of a boy.

"... but I'm not the only one who can see..."

Lucia and the boy, who can't perceive each other but have a similar look to Waltz's words.

If magic had caused the birth of a boy, it should not have been strange to see Lucia, the person who instilled magic in him, or his companions who could perceive magic.

But it did not, and it only seemed waltz.

A few possible causes, but if the body of the boy is tired of energy and shows up hacking Waltz's camera or microphone (the control circuit of), you won't have to look like your buddies.

"Well, that's good. Unless I'm broken."

But if I let it go, Waltz's nerves weren't fat enough to leave the boy alone who would be picturing or talking to me in his own sight.

"... you won't be able to homuncularize it, but I'll get you a decent body"

Can't you understand the word 'proper body' in Waltz, the boy with the neck.

(... but him. It's really energy, right...?

I don't know what to do if it's different, but when I start to doubt it, there's no kiri, so Waltz decides to split it that the boy is energy.

"Well, Lucia. Tomorrow, I'm gonna need a little help, okay?

It was already a long time late, so for now it was Waltz who thought about putting Lucia to bed and starting building an energy fusion reactor overhaul and a boy's body tomorrow...

"... sister. Can't we make it now?

Lucia has said that.

"'Cause a boy who looks just like your sister doesn't have a body, does he? I think we should make it for you soon."

Are you a friend, or a brother?

She seemed to have a strong interest in her new colleagues.

Such Lucia,

"... I'm sorry, but if you don't get some rest when you can, you're gonna make mistakes in weird places, you're gonna get hurt, so I'm gonna have to go to bed today."

and Waltz can persuade him.

In fact, Lucia's work, if one mistake is made, is a dangerous one in which all her companions could be injured or lose their lives.

... Well, most importantly, kids are bedtime.

"... okay..."

Beast ears and tails shriveled, leaning Lucia.

"... ma, sleep tight and start working again tomorrow. Besides, you're supposed to be doing a sushi shop tomorrow." Yeah! ♪ And... ♪

... somehow it seems that while Waltz was talking, Lucia, suddenly feeling better, replied... well, it's my fault.

So figure out who the boy is (?) The waltzes returned from the nearest elevator to the underground workshop.
