Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Perspective returns to the Waltz.

'Totally...... What is your sister accompanying you for? You can't even make mana. Doesn't it make sense to be alive?' Gamigami

'I mean, I'm not alive in the first place, and I can't observe magic... I mean, what is it? Suddenly...... As soon as I get through to you, you scold me...'

'It's my usual greeting, what's that?

"What kind of greeting, it..."

Rose seedlings that were massively lined up in the room where Demon King Vega slept. To grow them together and blossom, Catalina communicated with a tempo that could be described as her own copy in an attempt to retrieve the mana.

But apparently the tempo, with being left behind by Mid-Eden (?) Apparently there was a build-up of depression...... As soon as I finished talking to Catalina, I seem to have bit my sister Waltz. It may not be necessary to mention that, as she put it, this is the usual exchange between the two.

"So, are you coming this way?

'... you weren't listening to me and Catalina? Didn't you just teach Catalina how to make it there, even if you didn't bother to deliver the mana? So I won't go. I'm busy...'

…………

'You weren't really listening...'

"Mana... even if they say magic... because I don't know..."

Although I had initially heard the exchange between the two of them, Waltz couldn't go about the story because the magic was about content. She didn't seem to have heard about how to make mana because she had turned her interest to something different early on. It should be noted that what you were interested in was that Vega was asleep there and wanted to get confirmation of the great discovery of the century, if you could understand.

'If you're my sister now... how about a little refinement? If you work hard, like me, Cortex, and Strella, you might be able to use magic...... According to the story, Atlas can use magic these days, too, right?

"Eh..."

'... Didn't Theresa always say? It's not whether it's available or not... it's going to be available.'

…………

'If you were wearing an agura, you'd be overtaken, wouldn't you? Still, it would be good if you just got overtaken. I don't know if you've done what you love, do I?

'.................. yeah'

Though it was a sermon from a bad tempo, you thought the word made sense, waltz snorting reluctantly and so on. With such a tempo sermon, it is unclear whether anything has changed in the waltz - so far.

And after the radio conversation.

"... so I would like to make mana, but it would take a tremendous amount of magic to do that"

"... Lucia, right?

"Yes."

When Tempo told me how to make mana, Catalina seemed to intend to get to manufacturing quickly. They would need a tremendous amount of magic to do that, and Lucia's cooperation with a tremendous amount of magic was essential.

"Could it be... so I can cure the world tree thing too?

"No. I don't think I can secure that much mana, even if I just used all of Lucia's magic. Even so, I think we can generate a significant amount..."

"Yes...... So, what? Catalina."

And Waltz, who had been a little strange since Tempo preached to him, threw such questions against Catalina that he had tried so hard to keep through.

"What mana... what?

Mana. It was a liquid with the same physical properties as ”water”, present in the basement of South Fortress, the fortified city of Mid-Eden, or in a lake near the king's capital of Boreas, Vixen. If a person drinks, not only will the dryness heal, but the magic will restore, and if the demons drink, in some cases, they will become humanized, just magical water.

Waltz should not have been interested in mana until now because the effect cannot be measured... For some reason now she seems to want to know what Mana is like.

Catalina, who received it, gives a look that only seems suspicious for a moment...... She was very welcome about Waltz's interest in mana and magic, and she happily began explaining mana. It's also in a language Waltz understands.

"In short, what magic has dissolved in water. It's called an aqueous solution."

"An aqueous solution... evaporating mana leaves nothing there, right? Something like alcohol?

"Unlike salt, sugar, or alcohol, it doesn't dissolve as a substance.” Invisible magic "dissolves in water, making it mana."

"I knew it would come... Well, I can't see, I can't hear, let's just leave it at that. That's all because I think we have to update the sensor system because there's nothing we can do about it."

"Really...... then sweeten to your words and continue explaining. Something called mana is like magic diluted with water. Or maybe you could think of magic as an ammonia kind of gas. The magic in the air, when left alone, is scattered like gas, but when dissolved in water, it can exist stably. We can store magic in our bodies because by dissolving magic in our blood, blood acts like mana."

"... but it's not exactly the same as gas, is it?

"Yes. So far, we've been able to observe it as a substance, there are no reports. It is the only one that can only be heard by" ears ”.... It may be close to the behavior of the quantum that came out of quantum mechanics that Mr. Waltz was chilling about before. Magic is like a wave..."

"A quantum can observe..."

With that said, Waltz smiles bitterly. Nevertheless, Catalina's explanation seemed somewhat soothing compared to before she asked if it was a concomitant one for her.

Then Waltz starts the wireless communication system…. I called on my sister's radio.
