Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

7.2-18 Visit Alk's Village Again 5

White, radiant parallel planes (floors and ceilings) that seem to continue everywhere.

The blackish square walls everywhere are apparently creating a small room in this space.

"... where are we?

"... the basement of an ancient private house... it must have been"

"... what a heterogeneous..."

After he managed to push Caroline, the hunter's mother, who stinks when she gets drunk, against his men and the owner of the liquor store.

The hunters and the waltzes who broke up in front of the liquor store, who said they were going to see what was going on at home, were coming from there to a house that wasn't that big, which was a few steps away.

Entering that house, the dust peeled off a thin pile of floor coverings like a puzzle... and down the aisle to the basement where it seemed... Eve, Silanui and Feilong, intoxicated by the liquor store's air, were so flashed to see the sight that they suddenly had to return to Silaf...

"Huh? Where is this place? My house?

"Eh..."

Even though I was surprised by its futuristic sight, I heard that the Waltz house, the Syranuis deepen their consternation.

Of those, the one who was showing an exceptional reaction... was the shortest Eve of his peers.

"Well... maybe this is one of the UFOs!

"No, you're not flying, are you?

and waltz pointing out to her with a frightened look on her face.

But to Eve, it didn't seem like it was a big issue whether or not this space was flying through the sky, and she was kicking and slapping the glowing floor, not listening to Waltz's point, making her blue-made clothes skirt swoop.

"How does this work..."

"Huh? That's not such a complicated structure, is it? Apply about 10 layers of various metals and organic compounds thinly on the substrate of the toughened glass... and apply voltage to the top and bottom layers, and you will glow at will. Of course, in order to make it glow, we have to keep supplying electricity, right?

"Yeah! I have no idea!

"... right... Oh, that, magic!

Waltz, who has had trouble explaining, often uses the word 'magic'.

As for her, who doesn't have to explain the details, it may be exactly a magical word, but as for what the humans on the side of asking about it think... well, it would be obvious without going into detail.

"Master Waltz... you might have had trouble explaining it to me..." Noh.

Eve lowers her gaze as she mouths a likely disappearing voice because she thought about what Waltz's attitude meant.

Perhaps she thought... that dealing with herself might be the flip of something that got troublesome...

"... you have no choice."

Waltz didn't know how much the hell Eve meant and wanted to know about the organic EL panels she pasted on the floor and ceiling... but she decided to give an explanation until Eve was fully convinced that she couldn't stand Eve's sad look...

... and roughly 10 minutes later.

"Humph... I mean, a special excitation state occurs when electrons and positive holes bond in the light-emitting layer, and the energy that is supposed to turn into heat might turn into radiated light, right?

... somehow Eve, in a short time, understood the principles of organic EL panels...

"... wow, I'm not sure either, but maybe..."

Waltz didn't properly understand it until the principle either, so I just explained the contents of the dictionary that was in the database within me for now... but what I don't know is that I made up for it with my imagination, and it seems that Waltz was unwittingly deflected that Eve swallowed knowledge at a faster rate than expected.

Meanwhile, Silanui and Fei Long, who watched those two exchanges from the side, had only their eyes open, but their souls seemed to be falling out of their bodies, and their eyes had no light...

Even if we understood the principle of emission of light on the EL panel, not everyone is free to treat it like the magic of this world, so although the voice comes in from the ear, it does not seem to have been able to process it in the brain.

"So... how do you make this?

"No, that's why you said it, right? Mixing metallic and polymeric materials with solvents such as alcohol and water and overlapping a dozen layers... (Oh, didn't I tell you...)"

"I see... now you might understand!

Waltz and 2 others tilting their necks wondering if they really know with such a proper explanation.

But not showing the bare gesture that rested on those two reactions, Eve asked against Waltz, who taught me the principles, with a full grin.

"Next time, maybe you want me to actually teach you how to make it?

"Yes, no... uh, yeah... you have no choice..."

It's not a conversation with an 8-year-old girl... not even with the inhabitants of this world in the first place, etc., but Waltz decided to reluctantly teach her how to make it, remembering Lucia and Catalina and Teresa...

Such an avant-garde conversation (?) Around where a paragraph visited...

"So... what did you have to do here?

Silanui asked Waltz to change the subject so far.

"I didn't have any particular reason, but I've been leaving it for a long time lately, so I was just wondering if I'd like to see how it goes."

"What?! Is this an abandoned place?!

"Yep. It's a little far from the king's capital, and..."

And, in trouble, Waltz explains the situation.

Then she... but she mouths an extra word.

"With high-speed iron (...) roads (...) or something, I think I can come in about 2 hours late..."

At that moment,

"... iron"

Did you react to the sound of the railroad's 'iron', Syranui, whose expression changes.

Then she went on to say the words as if some kind of power switch was on.

"Can you tell me more about that story?

"Eh..."

Just now, on a structure like I saw somewhere, a baffling waltz and a flying dragon.

If you're a waltz, do you have to give me another troublesome explanation...

And Feilong seemed concerned that he would have to hear a spell-like long explanation again.

... by the way.

Eve, the first questioner, was not included in it, and seemed to be touring one person, a panel on the floor, or a working room covered with materials like black metal (kanjutsu).

Fei Long shouldn't have to bother to do anything to accompany Waltz's explanation if she followed Eve like that... but she seems to have decided to listen to Waltz, even if she's serious or doesn't know what the story is about.

"You want to know about the railroad?

"Yes. Somehow... here... I feel like I have something to do with a blacksmith..."

"That, maybe, blacksmith road (...) What... ma, fine. But what you're thinking is probably a completely different story, isn't it?

"What..."

... and like Eve earlier, Silanui has a sad look on her face.

Going with this pattern... apparently Waltz needs to talk about the railroad properly, even against her.

"... a railroad, two very long pieces of steel side by side... and a car made of iron on top of it to run, is that a ride? Literally, on the road (...) made of iron."

Then Silanui opened her mouth again, imagining two long lines of iron... hah, with a look on her face.

"I mean... are you a trolley?

"Oh, speaking of which, there was trolley in this world, too, wasn't there? Well, more or less like that."

"So the trolley and... is that railroad the same thing?

"In principle, it's exactly the same... but the stuff you put on top, it's not the ore, it's the people and all sorts of luggage"

"To the trolley... people..."

With that mouth... Syranui narrows her eyes for some reason and gives a subtle look.

That look... I have some unpleasant memories about the trolley... and that's how it is.

"... is something wrong?

Waltz asks, concerned about her suddenly changing her expression.

Then Silanui began to talk about her memories (kuro-clean) (?) with a bitter smile.

"Uh, it's not a big deal... when I was a little girl, I used to ride my uncle... my grandfather on a mine trolley that was in the back mountain of my house without permission. I wasn't moving at first, but the brakes came off on some kind of clap... then it's already been amazing..."

"... so?

"No, that's it"

(What... why are you finishing up there...)

Waltz on a trolley, good until something happens, but not trying to talk to Syranui about what's at stake, with his head.

Fei Long's also said he knew about the trolley, and he seemed to have been screwed out of his nose as he tried to get his ears up.

However, the Waltz didn't do anything more to ask because the story didn't seem to be very positive.

If I had the opportunity, would it be spoken out of her mouth directly within...
