Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

A vast green view of Wang Du and Dai Tree, extending to the horizon, was seen through the window of a room with MEMS production facilities.

From there, when the color of the sunset was gradually falling out and instead the black color was beginning to dominate the area......

"... Phew. Something's wrong..."

Waltz's hand finally stopped, which had been tapping terminals extensively since the morning.

The way it looked from the side, it just seemed like she was ramblingly hitting the touch panel monitor...... apparently that's the right way to use the device she made.

(Now...... there's nothing like a micromachine getting hacked)

With that in mind, Waltz turns a satisfying look at the ultra-colored millimachines, in a transparent container like a large tank.

If it's something you can hack into, do it...... her gaze seemed to have that in mind.

(Nevertheless, I wonder who hacked...)

Energy, tempo, cortex, strella......

Of all the people I can think of, only these four are capable of generating jamming waves to hack, and Waltz thought among its members who hacked for what.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't seem to think about the letter 'J' of the situation, and who exactly did it.

(... well, fine. Next time you do it, say no to me and then do it...)

Waltz stopped doing anything he couldn't think of… and then decided to repair the broken clean room window to manufacture additional micromachines.

And she tried to get on the elevator to pick up the toughened glass plate at the material storage area that was in the workshop... that's when.

Loose......

Some suspicious black shadow emerged in the dark hallway window with no lights near the elevator...

"... what are you doing? Tempo." The Guy Coming Out of the Monitor. "But you do?

Waltz, who has no faith in the existence of a ghost against its shadow lord, threw such a voice.

... Yes.

The person there had impressive black and long hair.

The tempo, voiced by Waltz, held a treasure box with a schwartz in his arm, just as he did when he came in the bright days.

Apparently, she didn't come again… she was in this hierarchy long before noon.

She replied to Waltz, slowly looking back toward Waltz as she created some eerie atmosphere, partly because she had an inexperienced schwartz... and an unusual disappearing voice.

"Ha... is that your sister... How can the world... not be what you think it is... I wish your sister was broken soon and the manoeuvre armor would be mine..."

"No, no, before I break, one way or the other, you're about to break first..."

Waltz looks at the tempo where the boundaries of its appearance were unclear, either because of the darkness of its surroundings or as if it dissolved in the air, and speaks so.

The statement was the usual tempo, but the atmosphere seemed as if it was far away, and Waltz gave such a surprise look to his sister.

Then you realize you've been pointed at a gaze that contains such a color of suspicion... Tempo turns around the window to escape Waltz's gaze... then he says this about what he thought.

"... your sister... how did you make me?

Why did you make yourself...

The sudden flying of common questions all the Guardians have, including themselves, seems to have made Waltz frown even more.

... it was, for them, a question like that representative example of 'What's useless you can't even think about'.

However, Waltz himself was indisputably not the only scientist who could not ask questions directly.

Sometimes Waltz didn't think the day would come when he would be in a position to ask that question, but vice versa... he didn't seem to be able to answer the tempo question right away.

There was another cause that was making her questions difficult to answer.

To put it briefly what tempo is...... a homunculus made by Waltz around to serve as a 'teaching material' for educating Catalina and Lucia, and as his own 'aide' for lack of hands...... that was tempo.

Being a copy of himself, but with thoughts nearly 180 degrees different from his own.

Tempo for Waltz was initially such a thing.

Of course, Tempo himself should have understood that.

Nowadays, however, such as being an abominably mouthy and loud sister to Waltz, Catalina's guide and brake role, Schwartz's babysitter, and Waltz's ignorance…, the person named Tempo had changed his role significantly from the beginning when he was created.

She said she wanted to know why she was made... so there was no doubt that there was a special reason.

You can't possibly mouth a frank answer to a question that has such a complex connotation that even he knows it.

Well... in Waltz's case, we can't deny the possibility that we've forgotten the original reason itself...

Hence...

"... what's the sudden matter?

Instead of answering the question immediately, Waltz seems to have decided to ask Tempo, first of all, the intent of the question.

Tempo then replied briefly to Waltz, without getting unusually grumpy, that the question had flown the other way to his own question…

"... Your sister is right. Maybe I... am about to break"

(I don't think that's what the person really is about to break is saying...)

"Maybe this... is turning the bump that's been abusing your sister..."

"You had a consciousness that you were abusing..."

A small sigh of waltz as he looks tired somewhere, but looks at tempo words, behaviors, and tricks that he finds no other anomaly.

Then she tried to ask, in more detail, what had happened to the tempo... at that time.

... Kinkorn

There was a bell announcing the arrival of the elevator, not far from where Waltz and Tempo were discussing...

"Wow...... This is Mr. Waltz's house, isn't it?

And Waltz's Negijo is surrounded by darkness, naturally, and he just sounds like such a null and...

"So, Master Tempo ~? Where the hell have you been ~...... Dear Catalina, I am angry because of the lack of ingredients in Cheval ~ …"

Because of Catalina's anger, Yuki revealed herself in an uncanny darkness.

And right after the two of them got out of the elevator...

"...... ah"

and the Sirius sisters who simultaneously raise their voices, realizing how waltz and tempo were in the dark.

Of those two, Yuki was the first to say the words.

"Uh... were you taking it in?

In the dark, we're both standing there without lights, so there's some special reason...

Yuki, who perceived the situation, asks...... in response to which Waltz, who was in front more than Tempo, replies.

"No? That's not true... something urgent?

"Not in a hurry... Master Catalina wanted Cheval. I can't go home, either, to not bring home Cheval and Master Tempo... (Maybe all my men thought this...)"

"Yes...... Then why don't you wait upstairs in the office? When you're done talking, I'll let you go tempo one of these days."

"Ah, yes. Ok.... So, Sister Null? I'm leaving, right?

And Yuki, who declares to his sister that Waltz should have come here for the purpose, to return without taking 30 seconds.

Null, who was ahead of her gaze like that, had a tranced look at the waltz of purpose and turned a suspicious gaze... he wasn't there.

On the contrary, she wasn't even gazing at Waltz… instead, for some reason, she had a startled look at the tempo ahead of her.

"What are you doing? Null."

"What is it? Sister Null?

Waltz and Yuki unwittingly ask after seeing her look like that.

Null then suddenly rushed to tempo to see what he thought, kneeling (on his knees) before her and said:

"And, Master Tempo! After all, you weren't the only one!

'... what?

What do you suddenly come up with......

I couldn't know what Tempo thought because I was turning my back on everyone... At least Waltz and Yuki asked back unexpectedly because they didn't know what was going on.

As a result, Null, who remains on her knees, speaks of the reason for her actions… Her words seemed incomprehensible to everyone who was on the spot.

Because...

"So many 'red balls'......! How many bodies has Tempo been stacked up before?!

Because it was a reference to a substitute that was invisible to the other three: …

Apparently, around the tempo, waltzes with digital eyes and red balls not seen by Yuki or Tempo himself, were at some point massively wrapped around...
