Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"It's exciting ~"

"No, not at all..."

Waltz and macrophages walking out of Alborosa's royal castle and from there to the world tree that was connected directly. At that time, Cortex, who was traveling with plenty of tremors in his macrophage body, seemed happy to head with Waltz to investigate the world tree, as he put it.

Couldn't understand why, Waltz asked Cortex.

"Are you that happy?

"You can barely get out of the royal castle. When I get out, I'm out and people complain to me ~... '

"Oh, yeah... sorry about that..."

'It's nothing good ~. If that's why I exist, I don't think it's a bad idea ~? of the Lord of the Great Powers hanging the world on his crotch. What a (...) minute (...) ~... because that's not what you can be ~'

"For that matter, my salary is zero."

"In this world, even if you get salaries and bonuses, you have nowhere to spend them. The kind of jewels and ornaments are cheaper and quicker to make than to buy and it's as you wish ~... hunters make delicious rice every day, even if you buy slaves, trading in slaves is forbidden in Mid-Eden ~... you already have a brother who works like a slave in the first place ~ '

"Absolutely, you, you don't think I'm your brother about Atlas, do you?

"No, that's not true."? About 10% of my thoughts on Atlas, I really think he's my brother ~?

"... As far as I'm concerned, I don't think so..."

That's what I say, a bitter waltz. What a subtle place she thinks she is about the Cortexes on the contrary. Compared to the way we treat Lucia, we can say that's obvious, even from the fact that it's completely different.

Cortex, on the other hand, said he really seemed to think of Atlas as his brother (?).

"That's not true ~? For example ~...... that's true today, because every day, we deliver lunches made by hunters to Atlas, we make special materials that we'll need when making Atlas clothes, and we keep an eye out for weird bugs from leaning in ~ '

"All of that is subtle, isn't it? I'm not making my own lunch, I'm not making clothes... And last but not least, for Atlas, it's not a good nuisance..."

'As for the last one, I can't give it away because it also has personal feelings in it, but like I said, I think "10%” or so is my brother, so I think that would be a reasonable course of action given that ~? Or leave it at 5 minutes (bu) instead of 10% ~?

"I don't think it's a numerical thing to say if you think it's my brother or not..."

Waltz said so, exhaling a great deal. Finally, he can no longer keep up with his sister's thoughts.

Ahead of where they were headed with such an exchange, it was as if it were a different place from where Alborosa's maids and deacons, as well as Julia, the brave men and the water dragons, were investigating. Because the place everyone was investigating, in short, in a good scaffold…. More than walking on two legs, on a world tree whose roots were raised in 3D, inevitably everyone, almost in the same place, was conducting an investigation because of the limited number of places where they could operate.

Waltz, who knew it, dared to avoid such a place and try to investigate a completely different place than everyone else. Anyway, they don't have anything like gravity, so there's no such thing as walking on the side of a world tree...

As a result, Waltz and Cortex came on the side of the world tree, with no scaffolding or anything. So Waltz started talking about the anomaly of the world tree that he saw in the dark.

"The crack I saw from the royal castle... looks like it's connected to this far? I mean, this is the worst place?

"... in the dark, if you stood on the side of the great tree and spoke to yourself like that, you'd be suspicious ~?

"No, I'm not talking to myself, I have you..."

"It's a joke ~? However, when I saw it from the edge, I just thought this situation, would make me laugh ~, '

"Sort of. I'm just standing on the side of the world tree, and I think it's a perverted confirmation... Luckily, it's dark, so nobody's seen us, huh?

Two people walk vertically down the side of the world tree in such a conversation, with nothing to say, and so on.

Walking from there for a while, the macrophage eyes (?) via, Cortex also seemed to see cracks.

"Uh, is that you?"

"Yeah, yeah. Arr."

"When it's spreading so far, it sounds like it's pretty damaged in the trees ~?

"Well, yeah."

'It's amazing, what a bug is. But don't you wonder ~?

"What?

"Until just two months ago, a black insect that wasn't supposed to be in the land is about to reproduce in large quantities in a very short time and defeat a tree that has lived for tens of millions of years ~? Is this a coincidence ~? Or ~...... '

"... it doesn't matter if it's coincidence or not. It's no different than what we do here."

With that said, he hung his feet into the crack gap that formed on the surface of the world tree, and waltz standing there.

Follow Cortex behind it too...... And the two advanced their feet into the crack.
