Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And then the hunters...

"Atlas. It's a shame to report. The urban juncture... went bad in battle. Sorry...... '

—— Once I was out where the radio would go, specifically to the entrance to the basement, I was reporting the status quo to Atlas, who was fighting the bugs outside.

'Right...... Then you have no choice... Let's figure out a different way.'

"Is Atlas still okay?

'That's it... suddenly the number of fire pillars going up to town has decreased. Probably lost the bugs' backup. '

'... stopped coming?

'Oh. Come on. Mr. Ogata gave up, that may be a little optimistic, but that's what it looks like as an atmosphere. Could it be... a hunter sister, something big happened too? I'm curious about the ”fight” that was going on over there...'

In response to that inquiry, the hunter roared with difficulty… While I was a little lost, I started explaining the situation.

'It's hard to know where to start... well, I don't have time, and I'm going to talk briefly'

"Oh, that helps."

'... if I find an underground tunnel where there's going to be an urban junction demon prop, and I go in there, somehow my brother and I get attacked by a grounddragon, and if I knock him down, a bomb like "Buksukukuku" will fly with metastatic magic, and the impact will break the urban junction demon prop... you know what I mean? You don't get it... Oh, yeah, yeah. I flew over here, too, because the situation was a situation. Why don't you ask Enders?

'My brother... I have no idea the connection, but I know the situation. Explain in detail when you have time...... no, wait a minute? Explosive lens?!

'What? Julia just said chills too... is it that awkward?

and a hunter who asks curiously because he didn't know what the explosive lens was used for.

Atlas, on the other hand, sighed deeply before asking the hunter:

"Hey, hunter sister. For once, I just wanted to make sure, how did you know what flew in with metastatic magic was an explosive lens?

'Oh, that's...'

And when Julia, who was listening on her side as the hunter tried to respond, stepped forward and turned to the hunter...... She took the radio out of her own pocket and started responding to Atlas instead of the hunter.

"Uh, Master Atlas? It's Julia. I'm the one who made the decision. Because it looked very much like what was written in the dossier I stumbled upon at Master Cortex's... '

"The Cortex one, what a dossier... well, okay. The Ecclerians, are you trying to make an array... '

'What is it... what is it?

"Don't worry about me too......"

"(I'm more concerned about that silver board that we both have...)"

Looking at the cousins talking to the radio (Ginrono), Dahlia, who was in an outside state of a single mosquito net, said she was feeling that way unknowingly... Atlas began to talk about explanations that she could understand.

'... I am a weapon that should not be in this world. You burn everything down in an instant, and you turn the land into a land that no man can live in.'

"What the..."

'If the bomb my hunter sister saw was really a detonating lens, I'd like to ask the one who made it "how did you bring that stuff into this world” too... (I can't really say much about people...) But exploding doesn't mean that every world tree in this town has blown up, maybe, failed.'

"" The World Tree Blows...... ""

'... it still seemed like a hell of a substitute. But what if it doesn't fly the second or third time?

'I don't know... That weapon —— making an atomic bomb is supposed to take a lot of time, so I don't think it's going to fly many times in a day or two, right? If you fail, there must be a lot of reflection, improvement, etc.'

'Is that what it is...'

and Julia strikes an association against the words of Atlas. At that time, she seemed to try and pretend to be calm, but she just doubted Atlas' words about "blowing every tree in the world"...... He seemed to have blued his lips.

I'm not sure I guessed such an inside of Julia, but this is what Atlas continued to do.

'Well, you don't have to think about it that seriously. If I report it to your sisters, I'll take care of it.'

'Please. At a time like this, we are powerless......'

'Instead, if I could handle it easily, I'd be in trouble the other way, wouldn't I?... per Catalina sister, it looks like it could be made of vegetables...'

'Right......'

Is that all you got? Then I'm going to go back to exterminating insects... '

And it was when Atlas tried to terminate the communication.

'Yes, Atlas! There's one more thing I have to say!

The hunter raises his voice unexpectedly.

"What is it, hunter sister?"

'As I went earlier, we were fighting underground... and there was an example door there. It was also in the basement of Mid-Eden, that huge door.'

The moment the hunter uttered it--

"... are you serious?"

—— and Atlas mouthing a response with confusing colors on it. To him like that, the Hunter's report about the ”door” seemed more shocking than the report that the Kingdom of Ecleria might possibly be trying to build an atomic bomb.

Then he seems to have decided to rendezvous with the hunters when he rescheduled abruptly and cut up the fire extinguishing and insect repelling of the firepillars.
