Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"So, you sure you're okay?

After Lucia and Julia, who were building a neighborhood under their eyes, stayed hugged by Teresa and fell asleep tired of crying.

Waltz, who felt the suspicious signs of Teresa as usual, asked such a question while at a certain distance from her.

In contrast, Theresa, who wanted to be closer, continued to be thrust away in a gravity-controlled force field,

"It's okay...... what do you mean?

Because I didn't understand what happened to me at all, or the meaning of Waltz's words, I didn't seem to understand very well.

You guessed that, Cortex, who was asking Teresa a question in advance and, to some extent, had an idea of her circumstances, answers instead.

"There is no doubt that there are no problems with the concubine's body. I guarantee that. But there still seems to be a huge flaw in the memory."

At that moment, waltz frowning.

Then she said this to Cortex once, after pointing a sharp gaze at her… she sighed loudly for some reason.

"Teresa has come to that, and I said take responsibility for you... but I'm the one who made you in the first place, so I'm responsible for the big book... When I tried to force you to be Teresa's part, Atlas pissed me off..."

and waltz remembering two weeks ago from now.

It was no exaggeration to say that she was already dead, and Waltz managed to save only her consciousness and memory by sacrificing her sister Cortex's neuro-chip.

But at that time, Atlas, who had broken into the O.R., entered between Cortex and Waltz and vehemently disagreed with his sister's idea.

Don't sacrifice Cortex.

As a result, he was furious with his irresponsible waltz and with his sister Cortex, who had taken Teresa's life at his own discretion... but apparently the waltz didn't know how to deal with him, who had never shown such an attitude since he was created in this world, and even now, two weeks later, the relationship didn't seem to have improved.

By the way.

Waltz and Cortex had the same giggly relationship as Atlas...... this time, Teresa was safe (?) With my return, the relationship seems to be starting to improve.

"... So, what? Talk about a problem with Teresa's memory. As far as Teresa's suspicious signs are concerned, it sounds exactly like Teresa before she died, though?

"Ah, suspicious, then...?! [incomprehensible]

"Yes, you seem to have memories of us, but you don't seem to know the real name or the names of your parents, other than the first name Teresa, and the name of this country...... on the contrary, you don't even know that this is a different world ~"

"You don't even know it's a different world... native different people, do you? Teresa..."

"Perhaps the concubine's character has remained intact and the memory of a considerable area has been overwritten by my memory ~? Because of that, the concubine thinks she's from Earth."

Hearing the words, Teresa, who was frowning in many ways, opens her mouth so as to interrupt the interaction between the two.

"Earlier, what are you lords saying? My concubine is dead, my memory is strange, people from different worlds..."

Then Cortex said this to Teresa with a sorry look on her face.

"Concubine ~? I probably don't remember ~... the concubine, for once, died ~?... No. Now, even at this moment, we may not be able to say that we are alive."

…… No, concubine, isn't this how you live? My heart is moving, and I'm breathing. And more importantly, this conversation with the Lord is in itself indisputable evidence of the existence of concubines in this world?

"That's right ~... What is alive or dead is an event that can only be observed in person ~...... In that sense, as long as the concubine claims to be alive, the concubine will be alive ~"

"... what the hell is this all about?

It was Teresa who had already tilted her neck over and over again against the inexplicable words and actions that those who knew would show herself since she woke up... but she tilted her neck again, as if she had a magnet that rebelled against her neck and jaw.

It's like you're the only one keeping secrets from everyone...

Maybe, from her, that's what it looks like.

Cortex began explaining what had happened to her against her... new (...) and (...) sister (...) sister (...).

"Concubine ~? You, as a test pilot for Mid-Eden's first airship, got in the airship with me two weeks ago ~... and got caught up in a magical blast of engines and died ~?. That was already an indestructible appearance, like words would hesitate to express ~"

"... you have no memory at all... In the first place, so is a country called Mid-Eden, but I'm not sure about the very existence of a airship. Is this the world of games? Well, I love the sky..."

"Really ~. You still don't remember ~. But that, rather, could be fortunate for a concubine. So I'm going back to the point where my body, built on your body, was going to be used as an ingredient to save my dying concubine."

"I can't remember when Cor was made... but I know that your Lord is an android (homunculus) made from concubine cells.... I can't really solve the memory of flying..."

"Well, that, after all, I hope you'll remember slowly or remember something new"

"Uhm...... By the way... in order to save the concubine, the Lord has sacrificed... the image of Cole from the concubine doesn't look very different from before. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

"It's a simple story. This body is actually the second one ~"

"Hmm... you got a new one..."

"By the way, the first one... is the concubine's current body ~? That's exactly the same, except for the contents of the neurochip. I mean... it's super high spec ~?

…………

"No, because the condition of the concubine was such a pressing situation, I didn't have time to create a body dedicated to concubines, and soon a new body that I would switch ~. So, as consciousness is a complete digital being, I temporarily retreated to your sister's data center and copied only the concubine's brain to my empty body. Still, I couldn't save all of my concubine's dying brain cells, so for my concubine's brain cells that died before I copied them, I let them complement me from my neurosystem ~. So I guess the memories of the concubine have been mixed up with mine ~"

…………

If she's ever had a girlfriend, Teresa would hear that explanation, which she probably wouldn't even know 40% of the time, and as a result she would have a difficult look on her face.

Seeing the look on her face like that, Waltz pinched his mouth like a sneer.

"No, Cortex? Teresa, don't you understand?

However, such concerns of Waltz are dispelled by Theresa's own words.

"... No, you know what I mean."

"... Really?

"The fact that Cole's body is also a digital being...... And from the heavenly side of the concubine's head to the tip of her tail, you know what's stuck. I don't know if you know as much as Lord Catalina, but I wonder if you have the knowledge to the extent that you can listen to and understand her? … the proteins that make up your hair or the structures that they shape. hair root cells that create that hair. And beast ears...... is that it? What kind of structure does a beast ear have? ♪ Touch me ♪

"... I feel like I'm looking at someone..."

Waltz laughs bitterly at Teresa's words and actions, whether they were even pre-sighted.

Theresa against her like that,

"Well, isn't that why the concubine is safe? At least you're not supposed to be dead!

He uttered such words and smiled with a full face as if to wipe away Waltz's worries.

...... note that besides,

"... Now you're with Waltz, aren't you? Is it like naturalized at the earliest? ♪ To

For Teresa, I seem to have spoken a very important word......

At that moment, as for why Waltz turned away as if he hadn't heard, and turned his gaze in the direction of the day after he had lost his brilliance...... it is completely unknown.
