Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Deprexa, with an alto that appeared to be stable, left the scene with Alto after receiving a protest from Teresa, without even contesting her. There is no hegemony behind it... He didn't even seem willing to remain hostile to Waltz.

"... that's good. You know, leaving what we did behind..."

"... you mean the people in town?

"Yep. Exactly, we have to help, right? 'Cause here... it looks completely different, but not Rosemary's hometown? What did I say? Lee... Lee Pa... Lee Zeng?

"... no, it fits in Reepa"

"Oh, that way.... Well, that's why I don't think you can leave me alone"

And, at first glance, Waltz looks like he's talking like he usually does.

But to Catalina, it seemed a little different.

"Mr. Waltz... haven't you been forced?

"What... no, I can't believe I can't..."

"What you're saying after that one cuts out the story about the nanomachine, Mr. Waltz, you've been silent, haven't you?

When Catalina said so, Waltz closed her mouth and narrowed her eyes. Apparently, the pointer was a star.

Then Waltz started talking in his chest, looking at his sister, who was somehow speaking to Teresa.

"... to be honest, I was shocked. I only thought to the extent that Deprexa was bullshitting me... sure, you can't say I'm not going to follow the same path as her either... Because I've already built a nanomachine. There's no excuse..."

Catalina denies the word outright.

"No, I don't think it will ever be"

"What..."

"'Cause it's certainly Mr. Waltz who built the nanomachine, but you've never given it indiscriminately to anyone who doesn't even know its name, have you?

"Well, yes..."

"In the case of the Tempos and Master Teresa, this is an exception because the circumstances are special. And the same goes for Yuki. Isn't the only thing you've ever administered to a normal person as good as me and Lucia?... both of them, though I was the one holding the syringe"

"But doesn't that mean you're doing the same thing as Deprexa?

"No. If you're just going to cut that part out and say it, I think it's not Mr. Waltz who's doing the same thing as her, it's me. Mr. Waltz just made a nanomachine out of boredom, because I'm the one who's actually administering it. We all do, even to Enders Kun, Catalina Chi (...) Ng (...), Julia and Lucia. But I don't regret it or anything, and I don't think we should use nanomachines to manipulate people, like Mr. Deprexa. Because I always use nanomachines to help people."

Catalina took a breath there and continued her words toward Waltz, who still looked troubled.

"Whether it's magic, science, magic props, nanomachines, depending on how you use it, it can be both medicinal and poisonous. Even junctional magic is so. It can be a weapon that kills people if used in combat, but it can also be a shield that protects people if used in defense. That's the same for nanomachines, and if you don't even use them the wrong way, you shouldn't be off the road. If you don't believe that, you won't be able to do anything... don't you?

"... well. What the hell is that?

"Yes, it's past Yu, but it's over."

"We're talking about medicine..."

"It's something similar. And... Theresa also said that near Mr. Waltz, there are us."

"... right"

Waltz looks somewhat soothed after listening to Catalina. Still, the colour of her worries did not disappear completely from her expression, because she had felt, to her previous deeds and their frivolity, a sense of immaturity that was not small?

It's just a flash of it, too. to their sight ——

Pun!!

—— An incredible sight pops in.

"... Would this have been a good idea... Well, I can't help regretting it."

Teresa was staring at the place where Deprexa disappeared, whining to herself, not to anyone. It was with deep regret that I remembered that Alto had become like a sacrifice.

Talking to Teresa like that was one of the two people behind her. It was Lucia.

"Teresa... it's stupid..."

"Bullshit... why not? Miss Lucia."

"I'm already a big idiot. Why... did you use spirits that made you resent yourself? You didn't have to..."

"You knew.... two holes if people curse. Regardless of his will, he has become a body that must continue to perpetuate resentment of the existence of the [Demon Nation] in the future.... notwithstanding, only the concubine, the cursed person, is left flat, etc. --"

"Nothing good! That kid has unilaterally killed about the innocent people in this town and then even attacked about us?! Yet you care about her... all I can say is stupid!

"Lucia..."

Seeing Lucia in her anger mind, Beatrice, who was behind her, tried to forgive her.

But Teresa shook her head and when she stopped talking about Beatrice...... Towards Lucia, I mouth it like this.

".................. Ha. My concubine doesn't know what Miss Lucia is talking about. There has never been a concubine who wasn't stupid in her life... What is the Lord saying?

"Huh!"

Pun!!

"... I know very well that your Lord is worried about you. Thank you very much. Well, then? Miss Lucia. This is the way a concubine lives. You don't want to live the raw (because) you received again until you bend your beliefs, spit lies in your heart, and trample on the future of others..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Become..."

Lucia, hearing Teresa's words, inadvertently lagged behind. I don't care about my own hands that are sore and sore, my chest hurts as if it were burnt to pieces (just), my knees were crackling and trembling, and I finally couldn't stand the tears that were about to spill...

... Lucia escaped the scene. With that little back to bear the grief of not being understood by those to protect......
