Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"It's winter..."

"It does look like winter..."

Syranui and the hunter take a look outside the bridge and say what's going on as it is.

"No, no, winter is... snow for Mid-Eden, you don't shake it, do you? And on such a flat ground..."

From the warm climates and currents in the surrounding area and the testimony of those who lived in the land (hunters), near the coast south of South Fortress, especially in the south of Mid Eden, all year round, things like snow shaking were usually unthinkable events.

Waltz, who remembered it, seems to have accidentally stumbled on the hunters, saying nothing unusual about it.

"Is the hunter good? If it snows in the area of Alexandros (around South Fortress), which should be warm, it can be a lot of crops and stuff, right?

And waltz to keep asking.

To her like that, the hunter replied, um, by twisting his neck and roaring.

"Well... aren't you okay? There are no fields like fields, and few people live there... Sure, for those of you who live here, it could be a tough thing, but about their lives... the Mid-Eden government can vouch for you, right?

And so the hunter turns his gaze to the Cortex, who had been quiet for a long time since earlier.

Then there...

"..." chuckle.

And there's a Cortex look on his face with an indescribable grin (...) that's also (...) of...

"Hih?!

Seeing such an unspeakable look on Cortex's face, Atlas, who was good near her, gave a frightened look and tried to make a small scream and retreat.

... but unfortunately (?), that he, who had his whole body tied with a sturdy red string made of misrills, would not get away from his seat.

... rather than say that you can't get away with anything more than Cortex holding the tip of that string...

Cortex, who had single-handedly gathered the gaze of such Atlas and his companions, shook his shoulder as a crocodile, releasing a darker aura, toward the view outside the bridge, releasing words.

"... it's the death penalty. I don't know if it's God, Buddha, a natural phenomenon, or a fool, but all those who ruin my vacation kill them instantly. It's a merciless massacre ~" Gogogo

... Apparently, she's in a totally obnoxious state to that situation, which is impossible if it's normal.

Until earlier, I was swimming in an underground lake (?) Nevertheless, I guess I can't help but be angry that it has disrupted my vacation in the southern seas that I was looking forward to.

Against her, Waltz asked her whether there was anything strange about it.

"... Hey, Cortex? What does it have to do with your current... hot or cold?

"No ~?

and waltz to narrow your eyes against Cortex, who answers instantly without hesitation...

Cortex then began to supplement his own words by guessing that he hadn't even conveyed that detailed meaning to the boulder.

"What matters is the atmosphere, not the temperature. You say it's the silver world around you, but you can't believe you're swimming... don't you think your head is crazy ~?

(... I think swimming in an underground lake is something similar...)

As for what reason it was snowing, the waltz didn't see the cause either, but if it was simply snowing, he seemed to wonder if the sea would be warmer than a sunless underground lake.

Nevertheless, it seemed that what Cortex was looking for was not invisible to the eyes, such as warm sea water, but an atmosphere of 'coming to the South' as she said, for example, it was a coconut tree, or a dazzling sun pouring out of the sky... so Waltz thought that if she spoke ill again, she would unnecessarily bend her navel, and did nothing more than say the word of pointing against Cortex.

Well, if you think more than half of your vacation at sea isn't just about swimming, then so is her say, naturally.

"So... what do we do? Do something about the cause of this anomaly?

Cortex, angry at such Waltz's words until just before... suddenly, when he narrowed his eyes and frowned, began to talk troubled.

"If it's true today, it's supposed to be off ~... if you think about the people, you think it's an emergency and you have to deal with it ~. One (2) case of this one, can I take a substitute leave later ~?

(... you decide that, don't you?

And, again, waltz pointing it out just within himself.

The rest of us had the same bitter smile as her... probably not by chance...

... Whatever.

"So in the meantime, let's find out what's causing this unusual weather and let them enjoy the rest of their vacation."

As Waltz put it, Cortex's vacation, once again, was to stop here and begin his work as a Mid-Eden government official...

Alternatively, it may be said that Cortex's worries have begun...

Then I got lunch prepared by the hunter for five of us who were on the spot, and when we finished eating.

Gowong...

A landing gear for energy was heard landing on the sandy beach on the coast where the waltzes had previously visited, exactly as the device had been named.

Then we moved to the front of the lifting mouth, where we opened the hatch and lowered the tarrap...

... the guys will solidify as they are, without getting out of there.

"That's snow..."

"It's snow..."

"It looks cold..."

"Maybe it's cold, huh?

"..." chuckle.

"Hih?!

and thoughts on each (?) The fellows who speak.

If I were to analogize that... when I got off the bus preparing my swimsuit and floating wheel, it was a ski resort in the middle of winter... could I say a situation like that...

... in the meantime.

In contrast to the solidifying companions, there was only one healthy one.

"Hi-ha!!

... is Eve the Beastman of Dogs.

Eve was on this spot from the beginning with her because she was accompanied by the original figure Fei Long, who, although not attending the luncheon, was gutted inside the large space before the talap.

Especially when she's the only one who ran like crazy outside Tallap...

As a result...

Boo-hoo...

The maid of blue clothes, who raised the low sound and was peeking at her yellow tail, suddenly disappeared into the white canvas.

"Uh... you touched the hull's heavy particle shield and evaporated."

"Eh..."

"No, I'm just kidding."

Waltz said that in a sigh, then walked under the tarrap... and out of the thick pile of snow, he found a yellow tail,

Grr.

And I pulled it with my hand.

At that moment,

"Ngi?!

and Eve raising her weird voice as she swelled her grabbed tail like a tawa.

When Waltz pulled his tail, he seemed to hear a suspicious noise of something, a cockroach... well, it must be his fault.

And Waltz opened his mouth as he pulled Eve up to the snow-less talap, showing how frightened he was.

"... Eve? Marching alone in the snow (?) Or, admittedly, the survival rate is probably 0%, right?

"Nha!! Maybe I won't jump in anymore!?!?

With that said, Eve holding her own tail and circling around on the spot.

The way it is... it's not too rare, it's a dog...

After checking on X-ray cameras that her tail wasn't broken like that, Waltz went back to his buddies and started consulting.

"If we keep this up, it's hard to get out... I don't think we should go out this time because I'm not saying anything wrong."

Powder snow that was so soft and build-up that it enveloped Eve.

The condition under which such light and soft snow falls is that it is cold.

Our friends didn't know because the energy ship was always at a constant temperature... but it was quite cold outside.

If you think about this cold and snow thickness... it would be wise to say that it is more wise to stop, than it is extremely likely that our fellow beings who are living people will go out without darkness and be lost and shipwrecked in the snow.

"Right... Well, let's just say I'm waiting for you in my room."

and the first to speak was the hunter.

How dare a cat do it with a snail?

"Wow, I don't like the cold either, so I'll leave a message this time."

And, trembling, a flying dragon turning a frightened gaze at the white snow.

That appearance even seemed more afraid of snow than to say that I didn't like the cold...

Apparently, she has some kind of trauma against the snow that descends or the sea that was visible from it.

Even then,

"Wow, I might be leaving messages too!

"Well, I'll be waiting for you here too"

and continued Eve and Silanui.

And then...

"Bye, me m"

and Atlas tried to keep the word going, but...

"I'm going ~? Atlas ~?"

He didn't seem to have the right to veto, and Cortex in squash seemed to have dispelled his words.

"... right. Just me and Cortex might be a little short on manpower, so it would be helpful to have Atlas come with us."

I was waltz going to have Atlas's shoulder for the day, but as far as the view outside was concerned, I rang out to Atlas to say I was just a little sorry I couldn't say that anymore.

"... you have no choice..."

You couldn't turn down my sister's serious request to a boulder, Atlas, who says so and drops his shoulder.

... and that was the time.

It is said that there is thick snow outside, but an unspoiled organism emerged from the snow.

Tu...?

... is one rat.

At first glance, I can't see anything unusual, it just looked like a rat...

Hunter and Eve, plus Cortex and... waltz, had a startling look on his face.

Eve and Cortex, in a magical way.

In the case of hunters, because rats don't have any busy memories...

And in the case of Waltz... because the rat looked familiar.

"... if you do it!

moment when Waltz blued his face and said so to his mouth in a hurry,

Dogowong!!

And, the explosion and... and the cold engulfed the ship.

Apparently, the rat in front of you... wasn't just a rat...
