Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Perspectives change, and time goes back.

Of all the homunculus made by Waltz and Catalina, the only Cortex morning that was enough, albeit much shorter than a normal human being, was earlier today.

♪

Cortex moves his body heavily according to the rhythm of his nose, looking out from the courtyard on the rooftop part of the royal castle as his sisters flew away in the dark… commonly known as the 'Aerial Garden'.

It is called Raj O gymnastics in the morning.

However, unlike regular la-o-o-o-o gymnastics, a menu specific to her seemed to have been added.

His brother Atlas, who was watching from behind her, opened his mouth as he repaired the flowerbed that some brave man and demon king had destroyed, giving him a frightened look.

"I don't know because I don't have a tail... but you don't have to even incorporate the exercise of moving your tail..."

Atlas turns a frightened glance at the boom and his sister, who was turning her tail, as if it were a propeller or something.

Then, interrupting his nose song on the way to gymnastics, Cortex looked back at his brother as he wielded his tail and replied:

"Atlas may not know because he doesn't sleep, but people are things that when you sleep, your muscles and joints in your body tense and you can't produce 100% output right away ~?

"Well, I guess so... tails have nothing to do with people's exercise, do they? I'm not standing and walking with my tail... I mean, in the first place, you're not moving with your tail, your muscles..."

"I don't understand... it's like, you don't understand ~. This is why Atlas ~"

Then Cortex thought of something, and when he started turning his tail more momentum and boom,

"... my tail, unlike the concubine thing, is not a decoration ~?

With that in your mouth, you have a niggling grin......

He then remotely manipulated a Gatling gun for Wangdu defense, which had been installed at the top of the city wall, firing a single bullet at himself.

And the moment a 20mm diameter bullet flew faster than the sound,

Pah!

Cortex rotated his body at a speed that was not even in his eyes, and he used his centrifugal, swinging tail to bounce the flying bullet back towards Atlas.

Dogowong!!

"Are you kidding?!

Because I was completely alarmed, Atlas was supposed to take the bouncing bullet, with my forehead.

Still, I didn't get a hole in his forehead... again, was it because he was hard headed in many ways?

"Hey now bounce, if it wasn't for me, you'd be dead?!

"No ~. That's not true ~? Maybe if you were a king-pervert of Endelusia or Catalina, you'd take it as if nothing had happened!

"... in the case of those two, once it blows up, regenerating it is a flow..."

It's not nothing, Atlas turns a suspicious look at Cortex, imagining two people who would play after a tragic situation that is difficult to exhaust to the brush tongue.

By contrast, my sister Cortex said that she didn't understand the explanation, but when she sighed at her brother's words, she decided to go back to ○ Geogymnastics.

Then, at those two places, one person appeared.

This aerial garden is not accessible to the general public unless it is open from 9: 00 to 17: 00, so if anyone can still come here in the dark… inevitably it will be a royal castle official or one of Waltz's associates.

And the person who came didn't leak into the example...

"How are you doing in the morning, both of you?"

He was a royal castle official but also one of Waltz's associates, Teresa.

"Oh no. My concubine woke up much earlier today ~? Looking forward to your excursion day and feeling like an elementary school student who couldn't sleep ~?

"... I don't know what that showgaxe is... but you're right about not being able to sleep with pleasure......................... Huh"

"You always look asleep, but today you try to hang a wheel and you look asleep ~?

"Uhm...... But you can't sleep even if you want to... Do you two have that experience?

and Teresa inquired against the two homunculus as she also made a thin neighborhood under her eyes today.

At that time, when she saw Cortex shaking her head honestly, apparently she still had no experience of thinking about what happened the next day and not being able to sleep with excitement.

Six months old (?) for her, maybe there was no such thing as an event that she still couldn't help but look forward to.

Atlas, on the other hand,

"I'm sorry. I'm sleepless, so I don't know that."

Like the rest of the homunculus, they couldn't sleep, so they didn't seem to have anything to do with those experiences.

"Hmm. That's what happened...... Well, in Atlas' case, every day is col and I guess I'm just excited, so it's like I'm always excited, huh? I don't know..."

"Hey, concubine! That's too bad to hear... Sure, you could say that you're nervous if you mean you're freaked out..."

"... Atlas ~? That, can you let me know more about what the hell is going on ~?

"... ask your own heart"

And out of sight of Cortex, Atlas concentrates on restoring the flower beds.

After that, about three rounds, Tungsten bounces seemed to fly continuously... but there seemed to be nothing for now that would make him devastated.

Theresa then joined the Cortex morning gymnastics too......

After that, move to the chancellor's office and gently clear the job......

And as always, looking through the paperwork, the chancellor's exclusive maid (?) After flattening an unbroken shaped sandwich, made by Eve in her sleep.

"Well... should we go ~?

As if it were a dedicated machine, Cortex, who had repeatedly checked documents and stamped seals at high speeds, next door… for some reason spoke out against Theresa, who had a head.

Then,

"Ugh, um..."

and Teresa, who speaks ill of a beautiful response.

Apparently, I came here and something went wrong with her.

"What's wrong ~? Did Eve's sandwich contain even dangerous additives ~?

When Cortex inquired jokingly, Teresa slowly began to explain, holding her head.

"No, that's not what... Shamefully... the degree of excitement has crossed the limit... somehow, the mood is sinking in... Around the corner, I would say this..."

"... really, you look like an elementary school student ~"

Cortex gives a frightened look when he sees Teresa conflicting with her real age and the way she talks, and she hasn't done anything yet, but she's upset.

But it also seemed that Teresa was aware that

"... I need some time to calm down. No, what, it won't take that long. About 10 minutes?

She suggested to Cortex that she wanted time to calm herself down.

Before the big event, what Teresa always does......

Namely:

"... is it a temple ~?

It is a visit to the graves of the bereaved families and ancestors.

"Mm-hmm. Only when it matters is my heart really weak..."

"That's normal ~? I think it's better to be weak when it's not important ~"

"... so is that. I'm sorry to hear that."

"Yes ~. But if you don't come back soon, I'm the only one who's gonna finish the test flight. ~?

………… "Stah!

And Teresa leaves the chancellor's office in a hurry.

Seeing her like that gave Cortex a reassuring look... I wouldn't even have to explain why at the earliest.
