Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... didn't something sound weird right now? No, that's not the sound of this kid's transformation, is it?

"What kind of noise did you hear?

"It's hard to describe what it sounds like... it feels like something so sharp reflected... (like a phonetic sound when the blade glows...)"

"Something sharp reflected...? I can't imagine... I didn't hear anything. Sorry, Waltz."

"No, never mind, Mr. Hunter. Maybe it's my fault."

As a result of Van's return to the original Fenrir figure in front of him, Waltz, who was about to shake hands with him, was in a "hands" position instead of shaking hands. She didn't see a surprise bare gesture at that time, but that was just the look...... The truth is...

"(This kid, you were a dog... no, a little different from a dog...)"

—— and, on the inside, seemed surprised by the crowd.

However, her surprise, as mentioned, was not on the table. Because the moment Van returns to her original appearance, she's murderous from nowhere (?) because I felt something like that released. Note how Waltz, who shouldn't be able to read the air, kills the air (?) It is unknown whether it sensed the

Well, as for the principle, let's just put it aside... She did not perceive any unusual signs, but there was no suspicious movement on the part of those on the spot, nor was there some sort of unidentified flight in the view reflected by the bridge monitors...... Nothing could have changed. Of course, Deprexa wasn't working on anything.

Thus, from Waltz's sensors, which were able to see all directions, he could not see any anomalies other than the "discomfort" of the first moment he sensed them. What if there was something unusual there —— about one person who had circumstances and deliberately kept them out of sight….

"That's crazy..."

And when Waltz is tilting his neck --

"Um... isn't Master Waltz surprised by what I look like?

—— Van, who was back where he was, asks. Apparently, he couldn't hide his confusion in Waltz, who kept waving his hand with a difficult look on his face.

The opposing waltz finally realized that he was going to keep holding Van's hand and let go of it...... I don't know what you thought, I'll say this.

"Oh, I'm sorry. With conditional reflexes…"

"Conditional reflexes?

"It's like a habit, huh? (Well, if you're offered a hand by an animal like a dog, you'll have to shake it. I can't say no to that or anything... oh my god, you can't say it wrong...)"

"... can I stay here?

"Yeah, you don't mind at all, do you? Julia gave you permission, didn't she?

So when Waltz turns his gaze on Julia--

"Yes."

—— At the end of that gaze, it looks like Julia was trying to make eye contact. Her gaze seemed to say, "(When that day comes, I'm going to ask Master Teresa to erase her memory)" ——

…………

—— I'm not sure if that intention was passed on to Waltz.

And in the discussion that followed, we stayed away from the world tree today and tomorrow and just checked the situation from a remote location. Because the main force (?) That Lucia, also to be said, could not go out because she was teaching something from Cortex or that she needed to exchange information with the Atlas in the future world...... And furthermore ——

"... sorry"

"Stop it..."

"... the air is heavy"

—— Even though it was temporary, Deprexa was also supposed to act together, so we talked about taking at least a day to get her ready.

And we've decided on Deprexa's room... That was the captive holding cell that was transforming it into the Enders boy's room. Other than that, there was no room available on board, and Deprexa said that was good, and besides, the Endels boy had no veto, so it seemed to have been semi-compulsorily decided.

"Tell me if there's any trouble, okay?

"Thank you Waltz. It's enough for you to have a place."

"Oh, my opinion..."

"You're a prisoner, so you can't choose, can you? If anything goes wrong, tell the brave man? Uh, Leonardo, right?

That's what I said, Waltz walking away from the spot.

After sending a resentful gaze on his back, the Enders boy turns a look like he's asking for help toward the woman dressed brave Leonardo --

"… it has already been decided"

--There seemed to be no salvation.

... No, it didn't seem like there was a complete lack of salvation, either, correctly.

"Master Deprexa? May I sleep here with you, too?

Apparently, the brave man thought he couldn't do the Endels boy and Deprexa alone like this, as he watched the heavy air between them, he couldn't leave them alone.

"Yeah, I don't mind that."

"Thank you"

"By the way..."

and the goddess Deprexa who tries to do anything against the brave. A brave man against her like that would reveal his identity... Didn't Deprexa, the side who asked the question, imagine that would trigger chaos again?
