Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Uh... Oh, that? And, for now, why don't we stop fighting? If it stays like this, you know, I just feel really broken..."

"............" Pocahontas

"Ah, yabba... It's too late..."

After destroying no more than one arm that was protecting the perimeter of the goddess Deprexa. Waltz stops the attack hand and hides his own palm into the void again. She seemed to be deeply perplexed by the arms of a goddess who could not have destroyed her.

That should be it, too. If you thought it would take at least as long as a streak of charged particle cannons, it was literally a small hand-checked attack, and it was all over. To Waltz, it just seemed like a clap out.

The opposing deprexa remained in the same condition and solidified as the moment his arm was destroyed, without reacting to Waltz's words. But that's not to say that I was shocked by the destruction of my arm... Before that, it appeared that the current situation was not known.

Still, Waltz did not fail to be vigilant and waited still for Deprexa to move out again. Since I've been caught off guard and in pain many times before, it seems I've decided not to flag it.

Then, after a little while... Finally, Deprexa started talking, trying to squeeze out the words.

"……………………"

"... this?

"Ko, you can't give up here..."

"No, no more, because you don't have to... I mean, how can you burn a fighting spirit to a stranger so far?... Oh, well. Reason for existence (program) …. Then you can overwrite the memory in your head and erase the other Guardians. That would also eliminate the need to be tied to your mission... (well, that's not all good...)"

"... you think I could accept that as it was possible?

"Don't worry, even if it's unacceptable, I'll overwrite it on my own over here? Well, it's better than breaking you. I'm sure."

With that said, Waltz restrains Deprexa's body and arms in a gravity control system.

Then right after that. Changes also occur in the mercenaries who were nearby.

Fuwah......

Without any foretaste, they all surfaced into the universe together. Thereafter, when they are moved to the back of the rubble where the waltzes are blind spots and invisible...... So it was arranged neatly and was to be held down by supergravity. It goes without saying who it was done by. And maybe that was done for what......

Bun......

Yes, Waltz showed up with manoeuvre armor. Apparently, even now, she didn't want to be seen by an unspecified number of people who really looked like herself.

Alexandra and Deprexa, on the other hand, who were not included in that unspecified majority, opened their eyes when they saw what it looked like. The thing about Alexandra, who is a human being, well, as I leave it for now...... Deprexa, who was supposed to be a Guardian, was also surprised, perhaps because of circumstances that were the exact opposite of why Waltz thought when he saw Deprexa. Namely, --I wonder if manoeuvre armor existed in the world as if it were different from people's appearance.

Among other things, only the hunter, the last one on the spot, seemed to have a soft look, not stretching his expression, even when he saw Waltz's appearance.

"It's been a long time since you've looked like that, huh? Waltz."

"Well...... that's right - (I'm just being transparent, this outfit from time to time). I've been having a lot of problems lately, so it's probably been a long time since I've seen you before."

and bickering with the hunter, manoeuvring armor (waltz) headed in front of the deprexa.

Such she spoke her own name as she stood before the woman who named the goddess, looking down at her figure.

"You haven't named him yet, have you? You're a waltz who's been forced to do demons in this world, right? Well, besides the demon gods, depending on the location, they call me a goddess, or a witch... well, they call me a lot of different ways, but whoever says what, because I'm a normal town girl. After that, say hello?

And Waltz didn't even hear from Deprexa... I put my hand on her head, which was restrained by a gravity control system.

shortly thereafter.

"Physical Link Establishment"

"Wall recognition breakthrough"

"Composite Code Analysis, Complete"

"Information Analysis, Complete"

"Start rewriting, done"

"-- Apply"

Approximately five waltz voices echoed on the spot at the same time. In the meantime, roughly 3 seconds. In that short time, she seems to have analyzed Deprexa's brain and rewritten the program. Well, I can't say that being short is a human standard, and it's also a short time for her, who is a machine.

Because of this, Waltz mouths like this, tired of turning to the hunter.

"Ha... it's over for now"

"I'm not sure what you did, but it was a moment, wasn't it?

"Even for a moment, if you pull it off, it's gonna be awfully long, right?... about a billion times more specifically"

"... yeah. I don't know."

"Right."

That's what I said, Waltz letting go of his hand from Deprexa's head. At that time, she takes a glimpse of Alexandra... Alexandra just moved her mouth there painfully and seemed to have no voice. It is unclear why that is, but Waltz seems convinced, for now, that she is also exercising her mouth.

I decided not to look at her like that, and now I dropped my eyes on Deprexa, where Deprexa was still looking up at Waltz with her mouth open with her poker. That reaction is almost identical to that of Alexandra...... What was different from her was that it wasn't her mouth that was exercising, but her facial expressions?
