Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Covon... Covon...

A low sound that echoes from around at a slow rate, as if breathing.

Or a heartbeat, not breathing, you might say.

But in the space in front of me, there was no heart, no big mouth breathing, just a murderous landscaped space.

The walls are red and bright to match the strength and weakness of the sound is whether there are organs pulsating inside the walls... or whether this room itself is such a thing...

"Nah, no room."

"The nucleus of the labyrinth is a space of nothing..."

"Huh...?

When Waltz looked boringly at the interior of the room, which was only about 20 m in diameter, something came into her eyes that was not unlike this room, where nothing was supposed to be.

"Hey, that..."

That's right, waltz pointing to the center of the room.

At the end of her gaze...

"Sword?"

... Right, sounds like a sword. "

Boneless design pattern (s) as if some dice were a straight combination.

And double-edged blades (if you do) that seem to be common in medieval long swords.

Such a combination of swords was piercing the center of the room.

"... hey Julia. In this country, you seal legendary swords and holy swords in the labyrinth, or something like that?

"Eh, that seems very rare, but you've heard stories of that holy sword coming out of the treasure box when a brave man with the holy sword is lost his life in the labyrinth... But other than that, I've never heard of the country or Master Sirius managing or sealing his sword in the labyrinth. Or I think Master Sirius would know..."

With that said, behind the waltz, Julia turns her gaze to the still unconscious Yuki's, who are floating in the air in a straight line.

"... yes. So, if it's not under control, does that mean that the cause of the labyrinth's rampage is that sword?

In short, in the nucleus of the labyrinth, someone, not a government person, stabbed the sword.

"What do you think? I've never heard of a story about stabbing a sword in the nucleus of a labyrinth and going wild..."

After saying that... Julia tried to think of something and put her hand on her mouth.

"But if you were right, for example... then who the hell did that? For two months, they've been wandering. As far as Scar Vixen listens, it doesn't seem like you can manipulate the labyrinth the way you want, and... I don't think that's going to benefit anyone."

Is it fulfilled by the human being who gives away the huge creatures that cannot be controlled?

To such a question of Julia, Waltz answered with his arms around him.

"Well, I can think of a lot of possibilities, can't I? For example, if it moves, it will keep rumbling until it crusades, so you say it was the perfect way to destroy the town of Vixen?... or, in fact, you think this is still in the experimental phase and you want to take over the proti eventually"

"Wouldn't it be okay if we pulled out our swords and analyzed them here without having to look so hard? Deftery could come back unexpectedly easy, too, huh?

"... so is that"

To Waltz's words, Julia seems to have stopped thinking hard.

"But really, who stabbed a sword in this place?

"The problem is that... Perhaps since there was one Scar Vixen case, access to this place should have been severely restricted, so it's not like anyone can..."

"Uh, I'm sorry... what do you mean?

Waltz with a strange look on Julia's words.

... Of course, I'm not asking why you restricted access.

"Huh?... maybe you wonder how people can come to such a closed space?

"Yeah."

"Uh, there was actually a dedicated passage to this room, wasn't there? There are lots of gates for testing, there are rooms for research... But it's gone."

"Uh, you know what..."

Apparently, because Waltz has made a big hole in the labyrinth wall, the internal structure has changed dramatically, leaving aisles and rooms missing.

Well, if I had defeated Yuki in the earlier room, I can't deny the possibility that a new staircase would have appeared and led to this room.

In any case, I'd say you were just lucky to get to this room just digging a hole without thinking about it.

"Still, Julia's intuition is amazing..."

Waltz said what he thought when he reached this room, looking around for traps and all that around the sword that pierced the ground.

Even though, the labyrinth has a bigger structure than it sees by spatial control magic.

What are the odds of just digging the inside of it properly and doing it straight to the nucleus?

Probably not the kind of number that can be cleaned up by chance.

"But we were talking about going outside, weren't we? I didn't really mean to come to the nucleus..."

"But you were lost at first, weren't you? Investigate or let Yuki and the others out... So, we tried to get out, and we got to this room, so not two birds a stone? I think it's amazing, don't you? At least I can't."

"Uh... well, is that right?

Julia starts to look at Waltz's words that weirdly lift, as a matter of fact, like me, it's amazing...

I grabbed hold of her hand goodbye to see if anything caught fire in her... then somehow blushed her pop... and even nibbled her face, then circled back to a serious look and opened her teasing mouth.

"Master Waltz! Quickly pull out your sword and get out! Outside, juniors and Lucia should be waiting for you, and most importantly, your throat is dry!

Waltz to her like that,

"... for once, I'll ask you... is that the only reason you want to go outside?

And he asked, turning his suspicious gaze.

"What... that's all, isn't it?

"Dj..."

"... that's all"

"Hmm...... So, like what? When you go outside, you don't think," I'm gonna go report my marriage to everyone, "or," Let's throw an engagement party with my treat today, "do you? Well, I don't know who you're marrying."

"Gikuk..."

"But if you say there's no Julia, it's okay, right? If that had happened, I would have flagged it and wouldn't be able to get out safely, but I don't think so."

"... I'm sorry. I was thinking exactly..."

... so.

After this, Waltz thoroughly threw up something that looked like a flag, washing away from Julia and not having anything to do with private...

A while later, at Yulia's feet, when a puddle was formed with tears and runny nose.

"Well, then, let's pull the sword out, shall we?

"Ugh... haha no..."

Waltz, who fights down Yulia all the way, after taking a distance from a place with a sword, began to apply an upward force to the sword, using gravitational control.

Then, unlike some sealed sword,

... zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzu...

and a boneless sword that slowly begins to fall out.

"... Nakasa. Isn't that a slap? You mean too easy..."

"Really?

Apparently Waltz used all the technology he could have, a legendary sword that couldn't be pulled out by a normal person who stabbed him in a stone or something, and he was expecting such a situation.

An unfortunate sword that fell out so easily (?), when Waltz is feeling somewhat inadequate,

Bhuun...

The sound of some kind of power engine stopping was heard from around the area, and the color of the wall changed from red to blue.

"... a labyrinth... a creature... something like a machine."

"Machine...? Is that a golem?

"Golem... If you say so, you might..."

I think it's odd to say what Julia said, etc., Waltz.

She had no idea how the golem of this world was made, but she seemed to feel a strange similarity in its story and in the make-up of the labyrinth, recalling seeing stories of the golem being made of earth, biological parts, and magic on it.

Afterwards, Waltz carefully observes how the sword works after having Yulia check if the sword has no demonic (...) technical (...) trap.

"Hmm... a normal sword."

"But that's a pattern that looks a lot heavier than a normal sword."

"It might be a little heavy, but isn't it like this? If it's a swordsmith or something, it's the weight of the pattern, and they adjust the balance of the sword..."

Saying so, Waltz swung his pulled sword with a boom, as if to check his balance.

... then,

Pi...

'What?'

Something I haven't heard lately, I think I heard a nostalgic sound waltz.

In contrast, Julia gives a slightly surprising look to the sound she hears for the first time.

Pi... pi...

"Something not sounding from that sword?

"... I wonder why you're making electronic noises..."

Pi, pi, pi, pi.

"... I'm sorry, Julia. Maybe I did."

"Uh... what are you talking about?

Pippy, pippy...

"No, I didn't think there was anything like this in this world."

"I have no idea... I mean, is it because you only have a bad feeling?

Pippi, pippi, pippi...

"... boulder Julia, you have a good instinct." Nicholas.

"Huh?"

Dogowong!!

... and the sword Waltz had blew out of the patterned part...
