Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"For example... no, it may not be an analogy, but if there was a" monster ”that would fight tens of thousands of enemies on its own... what would the two of you think of a guy like that?

and Atlas asking Beatrice and Dahlia, not for Theresa and Julia.

In contrast, the two responded as follows:

"Right... I think Teresa could do that?... Oh, speaking of which, you actually did it in Olija the other day, didn't you? It's also for angels..."

"I think Julia would be able to do it too......... eh? [incomprehensible]

"Mm?"

"Well... then I guess I can talk casually. Not that I don't believe in the two of you, but if I'm not intolerant enough to talk about it without clapping, I might not be able to come about the story, so I heard it once and for all."

"Sure, let me ask you something?

"Uh... I'll ask you too (what is resistance... what?

"Okay. Then let's talk."

I say and nod, and then Atlas starts explaining what's going on at the border with Eccleria and Merclio. At that time, Teresa seemed to be saying, "Won't you ask the concubine," etc., but, well, let's leave her alone.

"In short, Sister Tempo is fighting alone"

"Well, that's what happens from the story..."

"Just tens of thousands of people alone...... (hmm? sister?)"

"But the way it fought was so one-sided... that it didn't seem like a fight."

"Can't say battle...? Then what are you doing?

"... hunting? No, if it's one-sided..."

"Hunting, or... Not far, not close. Tempo sister... I'm experimenting."

"" Experiment?

"Experimenting with weapons, experimenting with magic, experimenting with human bodies…. You can do whatever you want with them coming across the border."

"... you say it's not humanely good, right?

"It is. But if your tempo sister is just a bad guy, she's not."

…………

"It may be abrupt... but what do you think will happen to the Ecclerians, after they die?

"When you die...?

"Of course that's heaven or hell... some people are unlucky to be zombies..."

"Oh, normally? But if they do, their bodies disappear as soon as they die... and if they're early, they'll be back on the battlefield in about three days."

"" Hmm?!

"Sister Tempo is investigating why, but in doing so, we really need to take their lives... So, if you're going to kill me because of this, don't just kill me, try not to waste it..."

"... experimenting with people, right?

"But even if you leave them alone, they'll attack you, so you can't just not knock them out... that's hard"

"It is. I've suggested many times before that I should change the way I do things to my tempo sister... but I still can't stop it..."

To Atlas, who speaks so remorsefully ——

"He said you can't stop him as much as Master Atlas... are you that strong? Well... if you're Tempo..."

—— and Dahlia asks, remembering his battle a few days ago.

Atlas then replies, shaking his neck to the side.

"Let's not be enemies. Sister Tempo has a claim too..."

"Claim?"

"As we've talked so far, the other guy is one of those people who can live right back to life even if he dies, and he's not so scared of dying. I think that's why they come to the battlefield so many times with no punishment...... what do you think we should do to keep those people away from the battlefield and take them in the direction of ending the fight?

"No fear... that reminds me of fear... no, you give?

"That's right. Sister Tempo's claim is that” death ”is so little more fear to the creature that those whose fear is paralyzed should be given the supreme fear. Doesn't that remind you of your obsession with raw, huh? If they say that, as far as I'm concerned, I can't argue anymore. Besides, I know my tempo sister has no malice... What do you guys think? You think I should let you stop me after all about my tempo sister? Or do you think we should just let them do it the way it is?

In response to that inquiry ——

…………

—— and four people in the way they think.

In front of them like that, Atlas keeps saying these words.

"... I'm sorry. I asked such a troublesome question... If it's true, I think we should just come to a conclusion in" we "... we're not alive, so I don't know. The... what kind of creature's” death ”is..."

Listen to that--

"Er............... eh?

—— Dahlia raises a bewildered voice about her failure to understand Atlas' words.

"Um, he's not alive... what do you mean..."

"Oh, didn't you tell the button?... I'm Homunculus. It's an artificial human being made by your sister and Catalina. So... I'm not alive."

It was right after that.

"Oh, no..."

As Dahlia blued her face, she began to lag behind.

And she finally stopped staying --

".................. Huh!

—— I ran off the spot and jumped out of the room. Apparently, some sort of red thread in her that should not be cut has been cut off putzily.
