Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

'Cause... this is it'

That said, the object pinched up by the hunter-operated macrophage ——

"Uh... macrophages?

—— She seemed to wonder if she was referring to the macrophage itself because it was too small or because it looked like nothing from Eve's point of view. Or maybe it has something to do with the Cortex that created the macrophages. Well, of course, that's not true.

"No, come closer, take a closer look"

"... don't you want to do Eve's head, shadow, the moment you come near me?

'... I won't do it if Eve doesn't like it. Besides, I don't know how to manipulate macrophages yet, so I don't care to stroke them...'

"... then maybe"

"Look, here it is."

"... sand grains?

"It's bigger than sand, though, huh? Atlas says this is the magic tool that manipulates the bugs'

"This is such a tiny..."

He said, "Oh. We need to find out more, but when you attach it to the body of a bug, they suck magic out of it, turn it into energy, and manipulate the bug."

"I don't know... maybe it's like a parasite, huh?

'Hmm? That's Eve. I didn't even know it existed until I first heard about the parasite in Atlas.'

"Yeah, well... there may be things in the world you don't have to know..."

…………

Talking about the parasite, though I suddenly felt like a shadow on Eve's expression, I didn't know why, and a hunter leaning his neck across the macrophage. Apparently, the parasite stories she heard were superficial until she got tired of them, and she didn't get an explanation from Atlas until she explained them in detail.

Well, aside from that.

A hunter-operated macrophage tentacle was picked like a small square chip with about 3 mm on one side. From there, there are countless protrusions that can be taken as hairs, feet and terminals…. They use it to attach to bugs and take over the nerves in their bodies.

Eve seemed to have noticed something.

"Uh... maybe this is the awkward one if people have it?

"People take over consciousness, too," he said? No, Atlas says it doesn't.... right? Atlas'

and a hunter pointing water at Atlas who was somewhat of a thought taker nearby.

Then Atlas returned to this world and began to answer the hunter's questions.

'Huh? Ah... because the complexity and workings of the nerves are completely different between people and bugs, I don't think maybe they'll ever take over, huh? Well, if you work hard, you might be able to manipulate as much as you feel at your fingertips, but you wouldn't be able to manipulate it until you move your muscles.'

"Really? Well, maybe someone takes over or something, without Eve and the others realizing it?

'Well... I don't know if it would be possible if the surface of the body were mounted in large quantities enough to be filled, but this time, on the contrary, it would be harder to control the magic props (chips) at the very top, so either way, technology in this world alone would not be possible.... unless it's your sister or Cortex involved?

"Then... maybe you'll be okay. Whether it's Waltz or Col, when he does something wrong, he's going to do it smarter..."

'Oh, I agree. You know Eve very well, don't you? Are you happy, brother?

".................. (Eve may not be happy at all...)"

Eve looks extremely complicated when she hears that word of Atlas. Still, it may have been her considerable kindness that kept her from saying that inside......

Meanwhile.

What were Rosemary and Dahlia doing while the three of them were literally talking about different dimensions, --

"I'm sorry I broke the house..."

--As Rosemary put it, an apology seemed to have been made for the destruction of the house.

Dahlia's florist, where they are now, had roughly 30% of them sliding diagonally and collapsing, leaving them in a tragic state that could be considered half and all destroyed. It's almost impossible to live life as ever in a house like that...... It seemed obvious to everyone that they would need a replacement.

However, Daria herself did not seem to have suffered much of what could be described as a loss due to various circumstances.

"... no. I'm the one who owes you an apology, right? I'm sorry, Marie. I got caught up in something so dangerous... You don't have to worry about this house, do you? I've been sorting it out because I'm going to move, so I have nothing to worry about. I've already paid off my household belongings..."

"... is that true?

"Yeah, is that true? (Pretty sad the house can't sell...)"

And even though I thought about it, Dahlia wondered what I could do about the cost of the land. As for her, she seemed to want to sell the house and use it as a fund to go to New Heaven and Earth.

Rosemary, by contrast, asked Dahlia when she suddenly gave a hazy look.

"... What?! Mr. Dahlia, are you moving?!

"Is that it? Didn't you notice? (Eve seems to have noticed when she got here...)"

"Marie, now that you say it, I've never known it before..."

"Oh well... Actually, I thought I'd let you go and go back to Boreas."

"... I can't deliver flowers to your castle and it's going to be a death sentence?

"I can't say enough about that... but that's not what I'm saying, is it?

That's what I say, bitter Dahlia. Then she crouched in front of Rosemary, hands on her head, and mouthed the situation.

"... Ardelheit, I'm thinking of going back to your grandmother and getting Boreas back out of the wrong hands. I'm talking about Margaret (Julia) sending me to the country in the near future..."

"So... you're going with Marie and the others to exorcise the Ecclerians, right?

I heard Rosemary say something like that, and Dalia--

".................. Huh?

—— and seems to have lost the word to return and become stuck. That's what she must have been thinking —— what does Julia want such a young child to do on the battlefield? Especially with that in mind, Rosemary seemed stronger than herself, etc.

Then Eve, who was listening to that conversation, pinned her mouth to the conversation between the two, looking somewhere in a hurry.

"Uh, Marie? Maybe the Eves aren't fighting, huh? Sure, the Eves have a battlefield for the Eves, and we might be fighting there, but we might not be dealing with people, right? If that happens... maybe we can do everything in our power to stop Atlas..."

You're right, aren't you? Eve. Besides, we're tired of being part of the Mid-Eden Republic, so instead of fighting directly, it's mainly about replenishing supplies, treating people, and providing cover behind us.... right? Mr. Hunter. '

'Ah. Probably hunting, cooking, filling everyone's stomach... doing something sexual? I work for Wang Du myself, so I think I can only help occasionally with macrophages... Eve and Rosemary have been learning how to hunt. Don't fight, it'll do you good enough!

"... maybe?

"Yes. Well, Marie, hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt! We'll work together, won't we? Master Eve!"

"Ugh, yeah... right..."

That said, Eve turns her gaze back on Dahlia again, while giving her a frightened look somewhere. Ahead, Dahlia was making small wrinkles in her eyeballs because she felt like she was counting on two girls?

This is how Dalia is going to get rid of the house, until Boreas (?) We were supposed to travel with the waltzes.
