Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Dogowong!!

From the woods at night, sounding intermittently, loud explosions.

That was the sound of a grenade falling bright red from the other side of the thin, cloudy sky raising the firepillar the moment it hit the forest.

Apparently the Eclerians intend to set fire to and drop the town of Zapato, which had been turned into a fortress of difficult defeat because it was surrounded by woods.

"... so, Lucia? The woods are burning, could you let it rain?... Oh, but be careful not to get flooded, huh? The intention to protect it will destroy it the other way around, or it won't go out of style..."

"Ugh, yeah!

I came out of the tent and looked out over the view around me, Lucia, which was suddenly solidified.

But the moment she heard her sister's request, when she regained me, she tried to panic and lay her hands on the sky.

Then up above, I'm not sure if it's ice magic, water magic, or wind magic, but it seems that some kind of magic has been activated...

Potsy, Potsy..................

It's suddenly raining when the stars say they're blinking across the thin clouds.

Waltz, seeing how it was, with a satisfying look on his face, unfolded an 'umbrella of gravity' around him to keep Lucia and the others from getting wet......

Then she opened her mouth again.

"You don't have to extinguish the fire right away, do you? I'm in a hurry to extinguish the fire, and even if there's a flood, I'm in trouble. Well, if it was in the condition it was just now, because the air was dry, it was going to be overcooked and catastrophic, but if it was just this damp, you'd be fine by now. But... you didn't solve the problem... We have to do something about the idiots shooting grenades into the woods..."

and waltz with an abominable gaze at the shells that were still falling intermittently.

Then at that moment, the shell, which was arcing from the sky and falling to the ground, seemed to dissolve in space and disappear somewhere.

"Right now, sister?

"Yep. I couldn't keep dropping grenades like this. But it's the only way to do this..."

"So you want to go punish those attackers?

"Hmm... I guess we'll just have to go directly because we can't even shoot a pair of annihilation bombs in from here... But is it okay if we leave here?

and waltz looking around with his mouth.

There are people there with weapons in their hands but frightened expressions without the skill of exchanging them into shells falling from the sky...

As for her, I didn't seem to care about those people.

Then the six-legged black object at her feet inadvertently began to speak in a person's language, as if to react to her words.

Do you want me to shell it?

It is a potentia that looked like a black insect, not like a person.

"Is it going to work out?

"Leave it to me"

In response to Waltz's words, he breaks down all the black carriages that were on the spot, recovers his own split micromachines, and starts building giant turrets with them.

And on the street, a huge turret over 300 m long (?), but where he appeared -

"... hey, potentia. What are you gonna do?

It seems Waltz can no longer watch in silence.

If he was going to build a turret the same size as the hybrid rail gun mounted on the hull of the energy, it should have been enough, even a few dozen meters longer.

But the turret built by the potentia (?) is very different in scale......

All that or it didn't even seem to be cylindrical.

Potentia, who built two long rails to the sky, answered Waltz's query like this.

'Thought I'd use a mass driver to launch a mass weapon...'

Apparently, he was trying to build a giant mass driver, a kind of mass accelerator, to launch the mass body further up in the stratosphere.

And he seemed to be thinking of circling the planet with bullets and bombing a group of Eclerian tanks in the shadows of the mountains.

"No, normally, you just have to shell back the same course they shell at you..."

'But Master Waltz. There are no proximity tubes or grenades in the shell that I can fire. If it stays like this, it will just strike out a chunk of metal, but I don't think it will hit me first. Then I thought that if we dropped a high-mass warhead from space and bombed it, we could make an attack that was more powerful than the grenade...'

"You're blowing my mind...... I mean, who's in wisdom?

'Of course, you're a temp mother?

"Oh, yeah..."

Listen to that one word of potential, waltz with a frightening half, convincing half look on his face.

Then she sighed deeply and then argued this against the idea of potential.

"Given the air resistance, I don't think it's going to be easy for you to strike out a bullet body with just a 300m mass driver and circle the planet, do you? Or even if I could accelerate, I don't know where it would fall tens of thousands of kilometers away because I don't have the guidance... If that's the case, why don't we just launch it in the uppermost direction so we can draw a parabola and drop it in the free fall? Then I suppose it works as a mass weapon, and you don't need guidance because it doesn't fly tens of thousands of kilometers (well, I suppose the most certain thing is that you're going to come back to the battleship and blow it up...)"

'I mean... now you just have to aim and shell more up than the course the Ecclerians are shelling out, right? So, even a warhead usually has the prospect of securing a lot of power?

"Well, only for this case. On top of that, if we're going to make it more powerful, maybe we'll just have to make it more tricky?

'I see...... Carpet bombing, so?

"That's the thing. So, Lucia? According to Null's story, just around here, it's like a mining zone, right?

"Sounds like it, doesn't it?

"... you're gonna fuck me, right? Build Massive Warheads"

"Yeah. Okay!

After such an exchange......

When you dig in the right place along the street, you use a gravitational control system to cut out the mineral vein that was there, waltz that carries it forward to Lucia.

Lucia then began to build shells, using powerful fire and gravity-controlled magic, separating its ore components.

In the meantime, Potentia was reshaping the micromachines to create shells like anti-aircraft guns.

It is an innumerable amount of rail gun that runs all the way down the street to 300 m.

Seeing where there is a device in its center like a black tank, it seems that it is the generator that drives the rail gun.

And soon, it seems that all is ready to strike back.

The sight from then on seems to have become unforgettable not only for those who were there, but also for those who were in the town.

Zudududududududududududududududududud!!

As soon as the waltzes set their shells on the turret, masses of red-hot metal launched into the sky in unison.

And when they reach a certain height, now they fall at a fierce rate in the form of being pulled by the gravity of the planet--

Dogogogogogogogo......

It poured like a waterfall across the mountain range.

Apart from the word 'waterfall', the sight may be likened to this.

... that it shouldn't be in this world, it was close to looking like 'Launch Fireworks'.
