Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And when the hull of Energia began to travel all the way south from over the town of Forn. Catalina (Jr.) was coming to the cafeteria as they toured the ship.

Although it was a windowless room because it was onboard, a monitor stretched out on one side of the wall reflected the view outside and ——

"Wow......! Amazing view!"

—— It seemed to maximize the curiosity of the little Catalina.

"Right? I don't think anywhere in the world you look, there's a better view than this.

"Are you flying now?!

"Really? We're higher than the clouds now, aren't we? Look, take a peek down there."

That being said, ahead of Beatrice's gaze, the view of forests, meadows, or white snow-covered mountains flowing into the gap between the clouds is reflected... That's for Catalina (Jr.) ——

"Wow! Wow!

—— Seems to have been just an inspiring spectacle sight.

Meanwhile.

The hunter who was looking at the same sight seemed to have been blinded by the terrestrial view, in a different way than Catalina (small).

"... but I don't feel like this view is enough... is it my fault?

"" Huh?

"I don't know... I mean... it's so peaceful..."

That's what I said, a hunter tilting his neck, looking at the blue ground. She herself didn't seem to know what peace was, but the hunter seemed to have felt some discomfort with the view she was seeing from it.

When three people are having such an exchange and thinking about the cause of that catch...... A waitress with a menu comes from the cafeteria.

"You may be here s... is that it? This kid, he may not be the one I see... who?

It is not a uniform dedicated to onboard cafes, but Eve, who wore the maid's clothes that had been turned into everyday clothes and was waitressed in that condition.

"Is this the girl? Catalina."

"Katari...... eh?! ♪ Biku ♪

"Yes, no... don't get so close to me. It's not like that big Catalina, she's a kid with the same name."

And a hunter who explains to me that Eve is still someone else, remembering that she still can't get over Catalina.

But still Eve wasn't convinced...... Puffy and trembling, I mouth it like this.

"So, but it might look just like that, huh? He's got red hair, maybe he's a Fox..."

"Well... But I want you to remember me well, Eve. Lucia looks similar, doesn't she?

"Hmm... (If you say they do look alike, maybe they're just different in face and name, huh?

"Yes, yes. This kid just got here, so he doesn't really understand what's happening on the ship. Besides... you seem to be losing memories other than your name..."

"Eh... (Hmm... this, eighty-nine, Teresa may have turned it off...)"

"So why don't you just get along?

In response to the hunter's query that ——

"………………………………………………………)"

—— Eve how I've thought a little bit about it.

Her spirit like that is not young enough to be fooled by the words of a hunter who teaches children...... The general circumstances also seemed to be speculative. Yes, it also means that the person in front of me was Catalina when she was little......

Yet Eve still did not utter the words at its core. Instead, when she smiles ——

"... you may have figured it out"

And he said, and nodded, and said again unto Catalina.

"Maybe it's nice to meet you, huh? Ca...... Catalina...... Eve is Eve. I'm in a cafe right now, and I think it might be the (...) less (...) woman."

"Hmm...... nice to meet you! Eve!"

That said, take Eve's hand, Nikah, and a little Catalina (little) with a grin.

Eve, who held her hand like that, though she was still swelling her tail into bread with all the chops --

"Ugh, yeah!

—— Somehow it didn't seem to just break the grin.

"Something's missing from this view..."

Captain's seat that was on the bridge. Waltz, who sat there, seemed to see the view from it and mutter the same words as the hunter.

It was energy mk1 and mk2 that responded to such waltz whining.

"Uh, that's it. You don't have the Great River. The Red One."

"Didn't you fly in the wrong direction?

"That shouldn't be..."

That being said, an energy mk2 displays a huge compass on a large screen on the bridge. For the record, it should be noted that mk2 is currently operating the hull of the energy... mk1 may be responsible for firearms control and other information processing.

"... as far as this goes, you seem to be going south for once. I don't think there was a pole shift in 1300..."

"Porouche?

"Arctic and Antarctic magnetic forces are inverted about once every tens of thousands of years? When it happens, the needle in the azimuthal magnetic needle (compass) reverses north and south."

"Hmm..."

"But only this time, I don't think there's a pole shift line? 'Cause it's moving in the direction of the sun, isn't it? There's no such thing as a natural mutation that changes to the position of the sun."

and waltz looking up at the two suns that were shining on the monitor near the bridge ceiling, speaking.

And she came to this conclusion.

"Well, if you think normally... you haven't had a" great river ”yet in these days... maybe"

That said, waltz overlooking an area in the coming days where you would be able to have a flaming river as if you drew a red line on the map. With such a small voice that no one can hear her ——

"... troublesome..."

—— and what I was saying was... Is it because there was something in mind about the Great River...
