Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Nah, back in the day, in some story, you've seen developments like this..."

The viscous liquid flowing out of the labyrinth gradually spreads as if it were an instant herbicide to wither the surrounding meadow and field plants...

Watching that from the terrace of the royal castle, Waltz muttered about it.

"... by the way, what happened to the end of that story?

With that said, Catalina starts messing around in her own bag.

Perhaps she's checking to see if the cylinder to secure a sample of the liquid coming out was excess in her hand...

"Uh, hey... it's a long time ago, so I remember... sure, you feel like a giant or something was a hazard that arose out of rage from being robbed of something important... So, I don't know why, but when a young man or woman puts that stolen thing back in the impending liquid, it's a story that feels like it's subsided.... that? Or is everyone, after all, dead...?

"... I can't imagine at all, but from what I've heard, I feel like it's a story where no one's been saved... At the very least, can't you remember as much as what was taken?

Is it possible that Mr. Waltz likes a story that can't be helped, like no one is saved... etc., while Katarina asked with a frown.

The waltz then

"Um..."

And, after a while of roaring, you wondered if you could relate your memories from what was nearby, looking around and eventually turning your gaze toward the Fei Long.

At that moment,

"... ah!

"Hey, what is it?

Waltz raised his voice as if he remembered something.

Then she said what she remembered with a full grin, not paying attention to the flying dragon who was surprised by her sudden behavior.

"Yeah! I snapped the dragon's neck and threw it in. Sure."

"... Again, you have too little context to predict what the story was..."

"Is that it? Could it have been different?... That's crazy..."

It's a story that should have finished neatly in my head, but I can't remember it inside, waltz annoyed by the creeps.

Then Fei Long said this time, holding his own neck with his arms.

"Wow, are you asking me to sacrifice?!

"No, no, I won't do that, so you don't have to worry about it, okay? In the end, I'm talking about a story I can't remember... Plus... it's the other kind, but if it's a dragon, it looks like you're already involved... Look, that."

waltz pointing to a distant plain, saying.

At the tip of that finger, not a flying dragon that approached inadvertently against the labyrinth... but a type of Wyburn was about to fall to the ground unconscious and be swallowed up in the liquid, whether it inhaled poison gas or something like qi from the labyrinth.

Well, the question remains whether Wyburn is a kind of dragon...

"Oh, maybe I should help?

"No, it's not homogeneous, and it's not like we're buddies, so we don't have to bother with Waltz's hands on purpose..."

With that said, the flying dragon narrows his eyes to the figure of Wyburn dissolving into liquid.

The look on his face like that (?) floated... because I overlaid myself there, or because I actually wanted Waltz to help me...

Nevertheless, he immediately gave his original expression (?) Returning to, he questioned Waltz.

"... if you allow the labyrinth to approach you like this, I think that liquid will push you to this city any day, but are you going to get it?

Waltz then turned his gaze toward the labyrinth, which was still approaching... and opened his teasing mouth with a troublesome look on his face.

"... to see how it's going."

"... what?

You thought Waltz's words were misheard, a flying dragon listening back by accident.

"See how it goes, see how it goes. But I'm not saying that because I can always turn it off, right? Well... I suppose you'd rather listen to the experts, directly, than hear my thoughts?... right? Catalina?"

"... Since when have I become an expert?

"At least, of the three of us here, I think you know the most about it?

Catalina was suddenly shaken up and somewhere unconvinced, but to sum up Waltz's words, she said, 'What do you think?' So it seems I reluctantly decided to say what I think.

"... If we are to re-prioritize protecting the lives of our citizens, I know it is not necessary to say what we should do, but I also have Sirius's request, so, as Mr Waltz said, may we wait until critical? And..."

Two strange glances at Catalina for stopping words along the way.

Then she continued her words, meditating her eyes, sighing, and waving her head.

"... no. Never mind, I was just trying to say speculation that's not very likely"

"Go away, I'm free now, so if you want to say something, you better say it, okay?

"I'm curious..."

"... Really? So sweeten to your words..."

And Catalina tried to mouth the silent part... at that time.

Gogogogogogogo...

The labyrinth, which should have traveled slowly until earlier, suddenly increased its speed of travel.

"Whoa, I'm sorry, Catalina. Sounds like the labyrinth is starting to roll, huh?

"... too bad..."

After receiving Waltz's words, Catalina turned to the labyrinth, who, as the words put it, gave an unfortunate look.

Apparently, her heart wanted to talk about her guess...

"Sa, how shall I cook..."

Waltz smiles like a child thinking of a way to mischief in front of a huge labyrinth that started rolling like a ball of bowling.

To her, Catalina asked without changing her expression from earlier.

"... are you going to erase it?

"Right... If there's nothing I can do, I don't know if I can do it right now because I think I can still do something about it."

With that said, Waltz begins exercising gravitational control over the maze behind the royal castle (Wako), which was visible from the terrace... that is, a glimpse of the giant hole that would have been the first to come out of the city and then roll towards the city

Then the labyrinth orbit changes, as if it were a changing sphere...

Corny, corny, corny... Scone!

It doesn't sound like a golf ball falling into the hall that...

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogoo!!

Either that or the labyrinth slumped into the hole as it made the sound that something big exploded.

At that time, the liquid that the labyrinth itself was entangled in was splashed by the impact...

Doshah!!

And, rather than say on the city... it pours right over the royal castle.

"Wow... this, if it weren't for me, we would all be dead by now..."

With that said, Waltz bounces back the liquid pouring like rain, using an invisible wall created by gravity control.

To her like that,

Catalina and Fei Long were pointing their unconvincing expression and gaze at... what exactly was the reason...

"Well... how does it work next?

But there was no way Waltz noticed how the two were, and she grinned innocently with her gaze toward the labyrinth.

... Well.

Waltz's behavior so far has always been the same.

Consequently, subsequent actions were the same as usual.

In short, after the use of high-output gravitational control, it is a routine replenishment of energy.

"... both of us? I just had lunch, but don't think I'm beef jerky again, and I can eat that often, okay?

waltz that opens the door of a cargo container of manoeuvre armor, saying.

"Yes. I've seen it many times already, and now, I won't say that. But what Mr. Waltz is saying is not beef, but dia (deer), right? Tempo told me that among the demons around the Wang Capital, he prioritized the expulsion of diabetic demons to launch a government-led project to process meat..."

It seemed to be a familiar story for Catalina, who calmly uttered the words of the pointer.

Meanwhile,

"... were you hungry?

For the new Fei Long, it seemed like the first time I heard it.

"Uh, yeah... maybe it's a situation close to that. Mr. Waltz is going to starve to death if he doesn't say something after using his great powers."

"Starving to death... Master Waltz tried to help the people of this town until he shredded himself so much... No, I'm impressed."

"... no, I don't think so, do you?

Catalina shakes her neck to the side against Fei Long, who is nodding with her arms in an impressive way.

Then she changed the axis that moved her neck and tilted her head.

"... Mr. Waltz?

It seems that Catalina somehow perceived the anomaly to her that she was talking about waltz but didn't try to come into the conversation at all.

And Catalina turned her gaze. Beyond...

Waltz was solidifying without moving as he peered inside the cargo container, which seemed to appear suddenly in the void.

If you want to go into more detail... with your complexion unexpected, scratching your sweat, and shaking your pull, should I say...

"... is something wrong?

"Well... that's unusual magic, isn't it?

Ask each one of them to Waltz.

Meanwhile, Waltz, who was thrown a question...

"... awkward... too awkward...!

Keep your gaze pointed inside the cargo container, squeal like that, and then...

"The emergency food has gone to the bottom..."

... he spoke of such lines as he had heard in some place recently, turning around in irresistible motion...
