Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And ——

Bassa, bassa...

—— and the flying dragons back to the energy. About those girls--

"Guys, were you okay?!

"... Looks like you're safe."

"Good......"

—— Three other, hunters, Julia and Yuki, were greeted by a small number of Energy crews.

Look at that, Eve opens her mouth.

"Maybe... you already know what happened in the village?

Eve immediately thought to herself why they had greeted her. It is difficult to observe things remotely, so given the other possibilities, it seemed only conceivable that someone inside was near the village and told them on the radio that they were in trouble.

In fact, Eve's guess of that seemed to be a hit...... Outboard activities by crew (?) Julia, who was partitioning, answered the reason.

"Yeah, I'm on my way to gather information about the village. Dahlia contacted me. That... another dragon attacked back the dragon that came to attack the village..."

"No, I'm not attacking back.... it's inch blocked."

"Already, if you're Feilong-chan... Even if you stop inching, if the village (...) gets (...) hurt (...) and (...) gets (...) around, it's the same thing you're fighting for?

"Gu, gu... (Mi, seen?!

"In that case, we don't deal with it head-on, we gently get out of the village. Even if people might get hurt in front of us, it's something we shouldn't be involved in coming from the future.... you said before you left here, right?

"Ugh... sorry..."

Julia tells you, you remembered the advice, the flying dragon stuck in words. Apparently, the non was in Fei Long. Well, she didn't seem to be the only one with a bitter look on her face.

Especially since Eve was in a position to lead everyone, she felt doubly responsible for people...... She seemed sorry, she said to Julia.

"Eve may have made a mistake choosing...... There was a scream in the village, so it might have been a mistake to try to help..."

"You know very well that someone could get hurt and you wanted to go and stop that? But right? Eve..."

"Eve, you might know that, don't you? If we change the past, maybe Eve and the others will disappear, too, right? But, Master Julia? What if someone or a child was about to be attacked in front of you... what would Master Julia do? Eves, what could I have done?

Even if I understand the circumstances, how can I act when driven by the urge to help...... Eve was losing it. The advice I had received from the elders that "the past should not be changed" seemed to be out of order in her now that she had experienced a specific situation.

Such an inquiry from her is not just an excuse for a poorly listened child, it can be cleaned up... The Julians got confused by that question directed at them by an 8-year-old.

The logical response in this case is that it is forbidden to go outside. If you can't stand being involved in past events, there's only one way to avoid it. If you're in a situation where you don't see anything, you shouldn't have any impulses or mistakes from the start......

But that was a word the elders could not speak by mistake. We understood that it was only violence, such as forcing ourselves to contain children with troubles that we could not properly answer.

Fortunately, however, Julia seemed to have other answers with her. She began to talk about certain possibilities that Cortex had asked her about.

"... this is a story that hasn't been finalized yet, could you ask me not to misunderstand?

"Yeah."

"Maybe whatever you've done in the past won't change the future," he said.

"What... does that mean that everything I've been paying attention to might not have made sense?

"Don't you get it yet? So talk about possibilities. Now that Master Cortex is trying to make sure of that... until then, I'll postpone answering Eve's question, okay? Honestly, we don't know what to do either. To abandon hurting people is to break your heart for that matter, right?

"Yeah......"

"Actually... that's why I'm restricting myself from walking around outside the ship. The only people who are walking outside right now are those who can solve the problems that have happened, on their own. It's --"

"Or maybe, the Eves..."

"Yeah, right? Eve thinks you can handle this?... even now?

That's what I say and make you laugh, Julia. Yuki and the hunter also laughed at her words.

Eve, on the other hand, seems to have had a more sorry look than ever before. And she tries to speak of a policy of solemnly going out for a while herself --

"Um... is it time?

—— Eve's words seem to have been interrupted by the voice of a certain beast.
