Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

On that day, the waltzes had been guided to another place, neither in the royal castle nor in the town, by Messier.

"Wow. I don't know..."

It is a tour of the world tree, as Waltz put it, showing such a deliberate reaction. To put it in more detail, of the world tree that was growing from behind the royal castle, the endless invisible spiral staircase that was made on the surface of its trunk (?), we were all just walking up and climbing. Nevertheless, since the stairs do not last to the top and are not a normal distance to think about and go back and forth in a day, the destination did not seem to be the end point, though.

"Um... Master Waltz?

"... what? Better than not responding to anything, I suppose?

"No, I was impressed. Most people, when they first come here, are surprised... but Master Waltz isn't surprised, is he?

"Well, yesterday, while riding the energy, you just had a good view"

With that said, Waltz climbs the stairs one step at a time to the observation deck that it's a while away. At that time, although she had not shown a bare gesture of surprise, she seemed to have an interesting look on the skin of the world tree and on the structure of the stairs that had been made not to damage it.

Against her like that, a Messier walking beside her mouths an explanation about the world tree.

"It's cracked among experts how long this tree has been here, but it's said that the tree is at least a few hundred thousand years old, long and about twenty million years old,"

"Twenty million years... already distracted years..."

"Yep. By the way, do you have any idea how high it is?

"Hmm... I was flying 11,000m yesterday, but still couldn't see up there, so there seems to be at least 50,000. I wonder if there's more..."

…………

"Hmm? What's going on? Suddenly silent..."

"Yes, no...... We didn't know how many meters there were either, and I was going to say more than 10,000 meters, but the height Master Waltz said was higher than I expected, so..."

That's what I said, Messier looking up at the high sky.

There was just a blue sky spread out there, and I couldn't see the leaves and thoughts of the world tree. To infer from its appearance, it should probably be high enough to reach space, so maybe the nutrients are not produced by absorbing carbon dioxide by photosynthesis.

"Anything else? of the World Tree, this place is amazing, I think."

"Right... how about having a 25 km outer circumference of the trunk, etc?

"I see. That means it's about 8 km in diameter."

"You know very well..."

"No, because you can calculate..."

With that said, in my head, Waltz assembles an equation for the apportionment using the diameter and circumference rate of the trunk. It should be noted that only if the trunk of the world tree is close to the positive circle will her reckoning take shape.

"What else?

"Ho, is that something else..."

Every time I explained it, I was confused about how Waltz was thinking in order to say a response that went beyond my expectations or what a good answer would be. That's what he said, he came up with something, and when he smiled back small again, he started talking about the matter.

"Oh, and the world tree will have fruit. Once every 1000 years, it was said that only one will have fruit, and there is a legacy of coming down like a star from the sky. And this is the year that hits that cycle…"

"Uh, you know, I don't know, it sprouted in the basement of our king's capital, and it's growing at a tremendous rate, right?

"What............... yes?

"What? Oh, didn't I tell you? Hasn't the water dragon said anything about it?

Waltz looking back with that said. At the end of that gaze, the water dragon, which had come on perfectly like a bodyguard from behind her, seemed to shake her neck only to the side without saying anything.

"Oh, yes... Well, there's been a lot of trouble... Ecleria, Ecleria, Ecleria troublemakers getting their hands on Mid-Eden, Boreas? While we were taking care of that, it looks like the" World Tree Seeds ”brought in by the Ecclerians germinated in our country (well, I'm the one who recovered them and brought them back to the country?

…………

Hearing Waltz's words, Messier couldn't seem to respond, and he just had a flashy look on his face and didn't seem to want to walk with Waltz. Well, if we listen to the story that the seeds of the world tree, which only bear fruit once every 1000 years, were brought into another country at some point to germinate, instead of following the inheritance, would anyone in this country show the same reaction as the Messier does today?

◇

"Looks like we're here, huh? Observatory"

Climbing further up the stairs, Waltz's eyes entered the figure of something like a dance floor. Apparently, that's the "observation deck” for this destination.

"Yes... this is the... observation deck..." Shin

"You... you wanted to see so much world tree seeds?

Waltz, who saw the soggy Messier look and accidentally inquired.

In response to the inquiry, Messier responded in an exhausting manner.

"... no, it's good... Again, this must be like payback, with my hands on Mid-Eden......" snort

"For saying it's good, you still look like you're dying, don't you?

"... for once, because I'm dead," sneaky.

"... well, yes (wow, that stuff, hard to give back...)"

To put it that way, Waltz seemed to have turned his gaze out of the observation deck to mislead his expression. Apparently, he couldn't keep his gaze on the Messier he'd killed before.

However, the Messier did not abandon his duties and shut his mouth, even if it was dented. Behind Waltz, who turned his attention to the scenery, he began to explain the visible scenery. Nevertheless, can't you help but move your mouth while you lean down?

"… this forest, which runs all the way across the horizon, not only gives me the benefit of fruits and crops, but it is also a natural factor. It is also because of this forest that the snowwomen of Boreas cannot come to the land." Boog.

Listen to that word.

"(Wow, that's a pain in the ass again...)"

- And waltz thinking about that, remembering Yuki, who had been with the brave men from behind.

But she never revealed anything about Yuki. That's not because I thought about reading the air and shutting up about Yuki.

"... Hey, Mr. Messier? I just want to ask...... where do you mean, the woods that extend to the horizon?

"... Yes? Of course it surrounds the town of Rice……………………………"

Seeing the view from the observation deck, I opened and closed my eyes many times, and even rubbed my eyes...... I can't believe the view I see, a messier that reacts like that. Apparently it was no longer the view he was familiar with that was spreading in front of him.
