Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And change the place, Dr. Eve (?) The lecture begins.

"Okay? You see that? Well, I might actually try!

And there was Eve, who so uttered, upon the roots of the world tree, which were upon the grounds of the royal castle of Alborosa, beneath the sky in an instant many stars. So she seemed to be trying to practice a small test tube with mana in one hand.

There, by the way, besides Eve, Waltz and Catalina, plus the look of Schwartz....... three (?) but he seemed to have listened to Eve's lecture. Besides, isn't Teresa, along with Lucia and Beatrice, reporting safely to the rest of her crew at some point?

"Thus, when you drool mana over an object that may be a” labyrinth "..."

""... when you let it hang?

"Yeah...... This is probably a labyrinth after all..."

"" What... "

"............"?

As soon as I saw how Mana was sucked into the roots of the world tree with rapid momentum, Eve began to break the process along the way and mouth conclusions. Waltz and Catalina, who were listening to her like that, naturally, can't go about the story...... Eve's story seemed unacceptable to Russia. However, perhaps the most surprising of those who were on the spot was Eve, the first to lose his word.

Shortly afterwards, Eve, who regained me, began explaining again how to tell if it was a labyrinth or not, and how to be specific about it.

"A creature called the Labyrinth is alive and nourishing Mana... you might know Master Waltz and Master Catalina, right?

"Yeah, you know that? It's a luxurious creature that takes a mana-bearing organism into its body and pulls only mana out of it and nourishes it, right?

"............"?

"No, it's not about you, is it? (Maybe...)"

"I know too. I'll ask Yuki."

"Yeah. That means why don't you let mana drip in the labyrinth?

"... you mean absorb it with tremendous momentum? Like earlier."

"Yeah. Maybe you're right. By the way, just dripping water..."

With that said, now Eve drips the water in the water bottle slightly over the roots of the world tree.

But not with the momentum as if water were melting into dry soil, as she did earlier when she drowned mana...... The surface of the roots just got wet and the water would overflow as it was.

"Could it be like this?

"I see...... By the way, what about the other plants? Actually, if you give it mana, it absorbs it at the same high speed or something?

"Well, I might try hanging mana on the normal tree growing there..." And then I said, "... maybe like this?

"Well, that's right. So the world tree is a” labyrinth ”after all... What is the body of the labyrinth really made of?

What organs, if any, are in the body, can absorb mana fast from the surface of the body...... Waltz haunts my head about its physical principles.

Eve went on to explain whether she had guessed the intent of her question like that.

"Mm-hmm... could you have said that a labyrinth shouldn't be considered like a normal organism? A big hole like a mouth may be an entrance or exit for a person or demon, but for a labyrinth it's just a form of body, and a real mouth, the whole body. The surface, the inside, everything, the mouth?

"The whole body has a mouth...... Some kind of single-celled creature, huh?

"…………" …

"... no, it never meant anything bad, did it?

"Speaking of which, and - you might have said that the labyrinth might be like a large single-cell organism. Like I said, how to take in nutrition, nucleus (core), overall form... And what did I say... it's in the cell... Ribu... Ripo... a lot..."

"... ribosomes?

"Yeah, yeah, maybe that. You might have said that the organ that creates the treasure in the labyrinth hits the hierarchy in the labyrinth."

"I don't know in detail what the structure in the labyrinth is like... but as far as I can tell, something tells me you're right. Besides, it seems to increase with division... So absorbing mana for the labyrinth is like exchanging ions in a cell membrane?

With that said, Waltz turns his gaze to the big shadowy world tree that rises in the dark night sky. It seemed to her that the figure of the world tree, which had an elongated shape, looked like a muscle cell or a neuron.

It seems that Catalina was with him.

"... I see. If you think of the labyrinth as a cell... you might be ant to create a virus and infect it..."

"No, I'm not sure what an ant is, though? Catalina. And... because it looks like a single-cell organism, you can't think of anything weird or anything, can you?

"... have you found out"

"Well, if you look at your expression, you'll find out... He looks so happy..."

If we leave Catalina alone like this, we will start a spectacular experiment with the world tree as an ingredient...... Looks like Waltz decided to stab the nail just in case he felt like it would be outrageous to leave her alone, having studied the technology of genetic manipulation of Magimouse so far. It goes without saying that Catalina herself is not willing to genetically manipulate the world tree.

"Oh well. After all, the world tree was a labyrinth..."

"It may seem so..."

"Then... we have to reschedule things. Right?

"A schedule to repair the world tree?

"Yep... I've already attached cooperation to the strella..."

"... you did"

and waltz that reminds me of Strella, who, among her sisters, is second worst after Tempo.

Then she seemed worried about whether to contact Strella or not...... In the end, it seemed like time was time and I decided to make it the next day.

... without even knowing it would cause trouble again...
