Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Boy......?

I feel like I've heard similar words in Tempo's confession somewhere before... Catalina in a way that I didn't have to.

Tempo, on the other hand, began to slowly exhale through his heart, exhaling a small sigh, even if there was nothing to recall in particular.

"Yes...... The figure doesn't look as clear as it did, but the silhouette clearly shows that it is a boy... When I talk to him, he seems happy to get too dry. He also listens to me..."

"(I see... Indeed, as far as tempo is concerned, it sounds like a fantasy or paranoia has developed and a fictional boy is occurring in your consciousness. As long as we follow Tempo's gaze, perhaps even in this room, we can see the boy…)"

"And... earlier, you attached to Eve and had a sumo with Atlas"

".................. Huh?

It's not fantasy, delusion, or broken in the first place... but Catalina succeeds in keeping her mouth shut.

He seemed to think about his words firmly against the tempo he was worried he might have broken, and then he wanted to make a statement.

Therefore...... even as Catalina contemplates the words, the explanation of tempo will continue.

"Speaking of which, it was the same yesterday. This kid was playing inside your sister's micro-machine production facility, and she seems to have broken the clean room. Your sister, look at you."

"Uh... you know, tempo?

"No, I had no idea that my delusional powers would increase enough to become and embody a physical phenomenon that looked like a boy. But... no matter how hard I try and let the beam out of my hand... it doesn't come out the way it always does. That's crazy, isn't it? I think this is an absolute malfunction."

"No, it's not weird. And maybe, it's not even a fault. That's normal."

How did you get from the statement 'I can see the boy' to the statement 'Beam out of my hand'... Catalina in a way I didn't understand.

Besides, Catalina seemed totally stunned because the basis for claiming that the tempo was faulty was that no one could see the boy...

Then she opened her mouth as she turned her frightened expression towards the tempo.

"You know what? Tempo. Remember before...... Master Waltz had the same experience as that? We're not talking about beams coming out of our hands, are we?

"Is that the same thing? I can't remember what the hell you were talking about when your sister... heard you hallucinate, hooked your legs in a stepless aisle and about to fall, and the ground is shaking even though you're not shaking... every day, you're full of words and deeds that seem to suspect a malfunction. When exactly?

"... I'm talking about the first time I met Energia (... Mr. Waltz, is it really going to break?

That's how I answer the tempo...... in my head, Catalina remembers about Waltz's mysterious behavior.

But in retrospect, that was from the time we met... so it looks like she decided to switch her head immediately and go back to dealing with the tempo.

You noticed that...... Tempo also remains as expressionless as ever, serious (?) I started talking to him.

"Energia... you're talking about that disgraceful girl who set up a hack on your sister to show herself...?

"Ha... uh, yes. It's more or less like that."

"I mean... me, too, that this boy is setting me up to hack?

"Whether it's hacking or not...... I don't get that. So if we can have a conversation... why don't you give it a try?

"Try...?

"Yes. For example, you tell the boy to hack Mr. Waltz? As in Energia's time, if Mr. Waltz can see that, then you can prove that the 'boy' exists in this world, just because no one can see it, right?

…………

To that word of Catalina...... tempo of how, for some reason, I think about it.

There shouldn't have been anything particularly weird about her words themselves... but for Tempo, there seemed to be so much to be concerned about as to contemplate.

Then thinking for a while, she opened her mouth as she shook her head against Catalina to see if her thoughts had finally come together.

"... no. Let's not do that. If this kid was like Energia, if he got involved with your sister... like Energia, he could have a shameful personality. Not at all, it's lamentable to say that you're my real sister..."

"Oh really... (I don't think so...)"

"Besides... if you're going to be like Energia, I want to nurture you..."

"............... right"

Against the tempo pointing his gentle gaze towards the door where no one was supposed to be... Catalina smiled back as she spoke so, touching the treasure box that was nearby.

As for waltz and energy, I seem to have been able to sympathize with Tempo's phrase 'I want to grow it cherished', leaving it aside for now.

Maybe she wishes that 'boy', who is still invisible now, would be the kind of person to be a friend of a young Schwartz...... maybe that's what she thinks.

"Well...... Now, I've said what I want to say... and I'm going back to my place."

"What... is that okay? Nothing has been solved yet... and maybe..."

... In fact, from the beginning, you came only to tell us about the boy, knowing the cause.

Before Catalina uttered it, Tempo turned his back on her... and did a trick that would put his hand on the boy's shoulder, which would be near the door, before trying to get out of the room.

If you look at the hindsight of such a tempo and how it works...... can you guess about her intentions without bothering to ask questions?

... and that is the time.

Prrrrrrrrrr......

In this world, that sound, which you shouldn't hear much about, rings from two places.

The audio source is… a waltz radio that was inside Catalina's white coat and in the pocket of her tempo skirt.

Originally, from that radio, you couldn't have heard anything like a ringtone.

It was a genuine, mere radio that could simply hear voices without any foretaste.

... Although lately, it seemed to be more like a ringtone (...) (...) (...) cell phone than a radio, as it was capable of one-to-one communication compatible with privacy communications as well as one-to-many broadcast communications.

So what the hell does a sound like that ringtone mean...

"... what's that noise?

At least Catalina didn't know what that sound meant...... she asked against the tempo she was still in the room.

Tempo then takes the radio out of his pocket as he narrows his eyes to answer Catalina's question.

"This sound... is what your sister used to say when there was an emergency."

"For that matter... that's a long way off sound"

"You can change the sound in settings, right? If you make it sound less spiritually pleasant, everyone will be surprised, so that in the initial setup it would be a difficult sound like this…"

"Really... (I've never set it up... how do you operate it?

A simple design silver radio with only two buttons on the metal plate and a monitor to display the communication destination, because I had never checked it thoroughly before... Catalina said it was an emergency, but how she began to observe the shigeshige and the radio.

However, the fact that an urgent call sounded...... I mean right after that, you can hear the specific requirements......

The radio (phone) observation initiated by Catalina appears to have been immediately interrupted.

In short... Waltz's voice was heard.

'Hey... guys, yuck!

"Everybody sucks...... It's odd to say..."

"Catalina? Say that, won't you be sad?

Tempo to raise his gaze from the radio and turn a jito eye toward Catalina.

It should be noted that the meaning of the jitsu eye is not frightening, but bitter laughter.

Then when Catalina started laughing with Couscous all by herself...... in a hurry (?) The following voice flew in from the waltz of

"... er, enemy attack?

"Why is it doubtful?

"It's the usual thing, so if you care, you lose, right? Nevertheless... if it's urgent, you just have to say the requirements. What the hell are you thinking..."

and now a tempo that begins to turn a jito eye against the radio.

It should be noted that the meaning of that gaze… goes without saying.

Then finally, Waltz, using an emergency call, began to tell the core part of that requirement.

'... I'm not sure what it is, but an energy-like black battleship is suddenly appearing and is about to crash into a new workshop!

"... Huh?

"... I've decided. Let your sister eat Lariat later m"

Dogowong!!

And the new royal castle and workshop were wrapped in a great vibration….
