Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

7.3-19 The Shadow of Merclio 6

Once again, time... goes back to the night before the steel can was thrown into Catalina's address (infirmary), just after Energia arrived at this royal castle and the waltzes on board disembarked...

Only the bow part was put on the roof of the royal castle, into the midst of the giant airship energy that was moored in balance as if it were 'do it,' the men whose appearance was soldiers... no, the contents are also real soldiers, they proceeded with their feet without hesitation.

Then, first, he boards from Tallap onto the ship of Energia, and in a hangar just moments after entering, the leader and thoughtful soldier stop and turn to the other soldiers who were following him from behind, he opens his mouth and briefly tells him.

"... start checking the internal structure now. Each of you, do as you're told..."

"... Roger that."

And about four soldiers moving away from their leaders and onto the ship.

They were also, before, angels in this country...

They were a little different in colour from the other anti-government ex-angels.

A party of former angels who are somewhat satisfied with the current state of affairs in this country and also show a certain understanding of the actions of Canopus and Strella.

Those who thought that instead of confronting the current government, which took everything away from them, they also joined the government side that governs this country and adhered to (...) and (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) this country from the inside of the law.

Nevertheless, they did not, from the outset, have such flexible ideas.

After the death of the former king, he used special magic tools to replace the consciousness of those who saw himself, and when strange fathers and daughters began naming the new royalty of this country... they were looking to use the power of the people, the parliament, to take this country, taken from them by the new royalties, back into their own hands, in cooperation with like-minded members of parliament.

But... unexpectedly before Canopus (and Strella), who have an excellent reign, they lose their original purpose: 'to restore freedom, peace and dignity to this country'.

That in itself was never a bad thing for them, and if I were to put it another way, I could also say that the direction of their aspirations and those of the Canopes was the same... so only when they, the former angels, had changed their minds to an attitude of openness to the Canopes and cooperation in their administration.

... In the meantime, the giant airship energy and waltzes, who eventually showed up again.

Even they, who have forgiven their hearts to the present king... could not forgive the boulders until they were talking about the waltzes who had murdered the former king and only seemed to have let this country fall into a vortex of confusion.

Besides, the demon god in possession of the airship (?) Waltz has not so far conspicuously explained or explained to the people of this country.

For that reason, in their minds, there was a fuss about waltz, energy... and hence the whole Mid-Eden republic.

"... even if you're going to be cursed by Master Canopus or Master Strella, I'll make sure that this ship is the only one that can get rid of it!

Bite your back teeth, and look like you don't mind your nails eating into your clenched hands and bleeding... with emotions like resentment and hatred in your eyes, the leader's soldier turning that gaze to the back of the ship.

Then he... went ahead with that leg just in limited gear, ahead of the gaze he was pointing at, to explore ways to deal effective damage to this ship...

And the night deepened... but for some reason, when royal castles and castle towns became noisy.

The five soldiers, who were scattered, were face to face again in a large hangar, as planned.

"... weird"

A soldier who was in charge of the hull rear investigation... somehow opened his mouth in his arms.

Then the soldier, who was in charge of the investigation on the starboard side of the hull, also opens his mouth with his fingers pinching between his eyebrows.

"I thought so too... How come it's winter, but this ship has all the women's stuff... and all the bathing suits that girls wear dry too...?

With that said, over his own head, a man with narrow eyes...

There was, by the way, a ceiling crane that seemed to be in some factory, a long rope connected so as to pass between its hooks, and there were around 10 wet swimsuits, dried, in hangers hanging from it...

"It's like, you feel like a hike home... Sure, all those who got off this ship were girls, so it's probably only natural that they have women's swimsuits... well, fine."

A soldier of a leader who shakes his head and reverts to the subject, as if to shake off one crappy question after another, watching as it says' come and go 'on a swimsuit that was hung.

Then he started explaining the results of the investigation of this ship's... especially walking around the top from the center.

"I tried to check the position of the steering room on this ship... sorry, I didn't know where it was. Only a dark, domed room with no idea of its use could be found.... Anyone else see a room that looks like a steering room?

and some time after the leader has spoken, with his head shaken and no reply spoken together.

Apparently, no one there could find a room that looked like a steering room...

"Then... does this ship not have a decent steering room? How the hell are you steering?

When the leader groaned so considering this ship with no windows at all... a soldier who was investigating the hull forward opened his mouth with a frown.

"From what I've seen, it seems to be propelled on a different principle than a demon-guided airship like the one in Endelucia. Even though the back half of the hull is still supposed to be floating in space right now. From the point of view of not feeling the magic for floating from the hull, that seems to be for sure. Then... isn't the steering method also very different from what we think it is?

"A special way of steering dedicated to the demon god... is that it?

"Or..."

said, a soldier who slowly shakes his head vertically.

Then, listening to the story, the soldier in charge of the investigation of the rear of the hull opened his mouth troubled as he laid his hand on his chin.

"With that said, one... no, there are exactly two things that bothered me"

"... what?

"There were a few unopened walls that I couldn't get through, and... on the other side of some doors, I felt weak but magical."

"You know what? Doors that don't open..."

When the leader speaks so intriguingly, the other soldiers...

"I saw a door that wouldn't open either."

"Oh, I saw it, too. Sure, the one with the square magic props embedded next to the door, right?

"Is that it... The one that glows on its own when it gets close."

"Yeah, that's it."

Like that, all the soldiers except the leader who was investigating the center of the hull seemed to see a door that wouldn't open.

It is the bulkhead that separates the blocks inside the energy and its access panel... but it seems that they, the outsiders, could not possibly have opened that bulkhead that opens and closes by biometrics, and that it literally looked like an open door to the soldiers.

"Security... or..."

Soldier of a single whining leader in front of his men who interact about a door that doesn't open.

He seems to recall that in the story of an arms dealer in neighbouring Ecleria there was a story about a door like what his men were saying.

That story... even though I'm an arms dealer, I'm selling those modern doors... and so on (?), it was a half-business propaganda story that such a system was recently mounted on the most sophisticated ship that could sink into the water that it had sold to another group of former angels.

What the hell are the other angels trying to do by buying a ship like that...

As for the government side, he, the leader of the soldiers, could only have predicted...

"(If the rest of them are thinking the same thing as we do... what an enterprise it might be to sink a ship in a nearby lake with the latest weapon on it that could fathom a demon ship and attack it while hiding...)"

And so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so forth and so on and so forth and so on and so forth and so on and so forth and so on and so forth and so forth and so on and so forth and so on and so forth and so on and so forth and so on and

And then he thinks, '... such a big fat ass, you're going to find it soon and you're going to sink it, so I'm not going to ride it...' etc.

Dwong...

And what was the sound of loud noises coming from afar after all...

... Whatever.

Within walkable limits, after an investigation on board Energia, they apparently decided to disembark and then gear up, guarding the entrance to Energia (?) When I greeted the soldier on another night shift as usual who was... he disappeared into the usual holding area, which is the armory and conference room of the royal castle...
