Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"............ So, what do we do now?

Dawn of the night after the exorcism of the zombies.

From the North Fortress, illuminated by the morning sun, waltz, who had caused it, saw how the black smoke was still rising with a mockery, asked his brother Atlas, who was next door.

To such a sister inquiry,

"No, even if you ask me that, you're my sister who blew up the town, speaking of ex... What's the matter, really..."

In addition to saying so, Atlas seemed unable to respond.

Initially planned, he was supposed to leave his men in this town, which was abandoned and no one was there, but as far as he was concerned he seemed to want to review the plan because it could not be described as a very safe situation, such as the Magma being blindfolded from the centre of the city.

But like Waltz, he didn't know what to do, he just seemed so heavy on his head.

Listen to my brother like that or not......

Waltz said one of these words, which he probably intended to say from the beginning.

"You should talk to Cortex once..."

"You hadn't talked about it yet..."

"No... talking to that girl is nothing in itself, is it? In itself. But... when I go with this pattern..."

And it was the moment when Waltz thought of a bad feeling.

"Excuse me from the sky! Delivery!

Such a voice descended from a black battleship that was just about to pass over my head.

"Here I come..."

"Here he comes... sister, aren't you a little overdressed?

"Then you can handle it."

"... oops. I have a morning chirp. I'm gonna go for a second," Stasta.

".................. ha"

Dogowong!!

And from where Atlas walked away, suddenly the earthen smoke rose......

From there one person appeared.

Apparently, the person has fallen from the sky with fierce momentum...

"... that's a shame. If only a little earlier, I could have had a severe scratch on my stupid brother's brain..."

That's what I said, and slowly stood up, doing the trick of cutting something with a knife… about a week ago, I left it in the town at the foot of the mountain range separating the northern forest zone of Mid-Eden from the central plain, tempo.

The fact that Tempo came here… Perhaps she was able to safely take over the revolting townspeople from the Wang Capital to a separate unit that rushed them.

"... you've been listening to me from Cortex?

"No, I asked Potentia. Such a big lapse...... wasn't your sister going to report it to Cortex, give it a good reason, and wipe it out?

"... you know exactly what I mean"

And it was when Waltz and Tempo, each in a different way, showed a frightening atmosphere.

"Ah, you don't have to bother to report it ~? For the most part, I know your sister will achieve the worst case almost perfectly ~. It's utterly lamentable ~ '

Out of nowhere, Cortex's delightful voice was heard.

The origin of that voice did not appear to be a tempo radio, a Waltz radio communication system, or any other communications machine that others had.

So where did you hear it from...

"Cortex......? How are you talking?

"Here it is ~? Here ~ '

"... when I woke up in the morning, there was a slime on my head with Cole's voice on it... what is this?

of Teresa, who was awake and had a bumpy haircut... it seemed to come from an object on that head.

Did you recognize that transparent object, Waltz wrinkled between his eyebrows and mouthed the object's name reluctantly?

"Macrophage......"

'Correct. I'm Macrophage No. 1. I have added a monitoring function so that I can confirm your actions from Wang Du.

"Even if I rephrase it, it hasn't changed much..."

And Waltz seemed to hold his head when he realized he couldn't make things go away.

afterwards.

The macrophage, which looked like a mass of air about 30 cm in diameter, slipped down the ground as if it were a Namekuji and moved to the front of the waltz as it descended from Teresa's head to the ground.

Then Macrophage starts talking again in Cortex's voice as he looks up about Waltz.

"So ~... your sister ~? Can I say the verdict ~? National Council (?) Verdict of ~...... '

"I'm telling you, I didn't do it on purpose, and it didn't hurt anyone, did it? I mean, if you know the status quo better than that, help the knights decide what to do..."

"Yeah, I know."? Well, listen to me. Because it's a verdict for that ~ '

When I said that, Cortex... I just started to say things that I didn't know what they were meant to do when I heard them.

"This child ~... please take Macrophage-Chan 1 and the knights towards the capital of neighboring Orija, north of North Fortress. As for North Fortress ~... well, let's just say dissolved ~ '

"Yes, yes...... But are you sure? I gave up North Fortress so easily..."

'... who did this to North Fortress ~?

"Oh, yes...... It's me..."

'As long as you understand. For a more detailed explanation of the rest, we shall talk about it when we arrive. And ~... not always, but I watch from here when I have time, so please behave badly ~? Your sister? And Atlas ~?

"I didn't do anything, did I?!

And no sign of Cortex...... Macrophage Chan 1 (?) went back over Teresa's head.

"Hmm...... Looking at it again, isn't it something petty and cute?

"No, I don't think so. Teresa......"

"Ah...... I agree. If I get a chance, I think I should put it on the energy and throw it away somewhere..."

"I hear you ~? Atlas ~? For such Atlas, shall I send you another one ~? No, this is the time, and I'll send it anyway. '

"No, the cuter you look at it! This slime."

…………

and Waltz and Teresa, whose attitudes and expressions shut whether they felt pity when they saw Atlas changing nearly 180 degrees.

In the meantime, one, the tempo that had been left out of the story, snaps his mouth.

"... so what shall I do? If I don't have anything else to do, I'd like to go back to Wang Capital and go back to producing manoeuvre armor..."

"Right... well, sometimes it's okay for you to say you're going on a journey j... ah..."

"So is that. Now, for a while, let me make a statement."

"hey... now jd"

"Oh, sister? Is there something you want to say? No way, that was a joke, or my mouth slipped by accident... you wouldn't say that cold, would you?

"... wrong... why are you tempered..."

and waltz mouths a repentant grunt about his statement......

The word should have reached the tempo as well, but did she not show the bareback she noticed it...... is it because the tempo still wanted to travel with everyone, too?
