Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz came back to Energia early through the transfer gates made by Cortex.

In the meantime, following Deprexa and Waltz, Teresa, who returned to the bridge ——

Kiwi!!

…………

—— Seeing the sight of Deprexa being slashed by the Endels boy in front of him didn't make a huge reaction. By then she had been in great shock.... I was wondering if it was me who killed the Mid-Eden royals. The concern, even if told by Cortex, did not seem to wipe it completely.

Ahead she was turning a blurred gaze, an unusual situation unfolded where, as mentioned, the Endels boy stuck a knife in Deprexa's chest. To him, Deprexa is the revenge of his parents themselves…. He was an unforgivable man.

But the opponent is one of the Guardians, a superweapon from modern Japan. Even though it was made by a different person than Waltz, it has not been made into a body that would be hurt by the power of human degrees--

Bachkin!!

—— and his knife, without leaving a scratch on Deprexa's chest, was broken into two short pieces. Deprexa's body, unlike its appearance, apparently was very stiff.

But Deprexa doesn't seem to care about that blade... She never looked at the blade and said this straight at the Endels boy.

"... Endels. Her death was necessary."

"What do you need?! On that occasion, why did my mother... have to die! Stop kidding!!

"Explaining the circumstances will not make sense to you right now... without the experience of leading people with a country. So there's only one thing you can say to me. … above all, you're safe."

"Huh!"

Kang......

Dogowo!!

The Endels boy waved his fist toward Deprexa with the momentum he had as it stood as he threw his broken knife on the floor, out of anger. But the only feeling that returns from that fist is the stiff touch as if you were beating a rock...... In the end, it seemed that it was not Deprexa, the body of the machine, who was looking at the painful eye, but the Endels boy, who was just a person.

"Damn...... CHICK YOU!!

The Endels boy shouts out like a scream, collapsing on the spot as it were...... And he shook his shoulder there.

Leonardo, the maid brave, approaches, as if to embrace him like that. And he said, towards Deprexa.

"Dear Deprexa.... Are you saying that breaking the heart of a boy under 10 is also necessary?

"... people are like heavy carriages, and once you start going down the hill, it's not easy to stop. How many people will the faith in the Goddess shake to create and sacrifice? Prevent it with one victim, or take multiple victims... Politics is the ultimate choice. She… Cecia has been sacrificed."

Cecia, the mother of the Endels boy, slammed the goddess to protect the children of the demonic tribe who had been abducted from the town of Forn. That is like challenging the goddess faith head-on...... As a goddess deprexa, she couldn't leave Cecia's behavior intact, which could have interfered with her faith.

If, in silence, she acted, she allowed the devil to trek in the castle of Acerdyne, where the goddess lay on her knees... Using it as a trigger, there was a good chance that various problems would arise.... allowed the presence of demons whose goddesses were supposed to be obscene beings. Then what is the Demon Nation that the "noble man" has always despised? I wonder who the goddess we believe in... Because a human being is always a creature that interprets itself in its own convenience.

However, as for Leonardo, it did not seem to be what he wanted to say there.

"... Dear Deprexa, No one here believes in you. He's the only one with a deep connection to you... but you still think you're gonna hit this boy hard? Isn't he... supposed to be in there?

If "politics" as Deprexa is what is causing the Endels boys to do terrible tricks, if there is no one on this bridge who can be called "the people" for Deprexa, then we can already deal with it in a humane way, without politics or anything... Leonardo's paraphonetics seemed to speak that way, including his not insignificant indignation.

"... right. Exactly."

Deprexa, against, listened to Leonardo and looked down sorry. There were no longer any words to be hung by the Enders boy, a situation that should have been said to be too late already...... She just quietly lowered her head to the Endels Boy--

"... sorry"

—— as if it were a curse, heavy, deep, and uttered words of apology.
