Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... sorry Atlas. I was late..."

In the late night bridge. Waltz was talking to a bear doll who let him sit in the captain's seat with a dark look on his face as if he were attending a funeral. I haven't been in touch with the Atlas guys for the past two days because I've been out, so I seem to have felt sorry for that.

It's just that I didn't get in touch at all, that's not to say. It's just a matter of not contacting her every time, so she asked Julia and Dahlia, who were still on the ship, to contact her on her behalf. And for that matter, both of them seemed to be in contact.

"Julia and the others are telling me what's going on, so this time it's good. If I hadn't contacted you at all, I'd have thought I'd tell you about one or two of the complaints?

"Oh, yeah... (Bleeps...)"

and while remembering that I almost forgot... Waltz speaks to Atlas about an important report.

"Oh, yeah. I'll let you know before I forget, okay?... Have you seen Altair?

"Hey... don't forget the important thing about saying that..."

"Well, I don't know if he's the same person that Altair is in your time? Ask Endels over there for more information? Because if you don't seem to talk at all, I don't care if you torture me or give me a confession."

'... he did something again?

"I didn't do anything, but... it looks like you're hiding a lot, huh? I think it's quicker for him to talk than for me to report it this way."

"... so the one from King Endelusia, you haven't shown up today..."

"You got away..."

'Right. But maybe I stopped talking... no, isn't it your sister who's going to stop talking?

"... well, that story is in the direction of thinking when the time comes"

'... ok. In the meantime, I'll ask King Endelusia. "

With such an exchange, Waltz explained to Atlas the various events that had taken place over the past few days. About Altair, about Lucia, and about Deprexa...... Because each and every one of them was too thick content, Atlas seemed to have become silent when he was at the end of the story, unable to find the words to return them.

Because of that, Waltz seems to be getting harder to talk to over time. As a result, she seems to have decided to point the water at Atlas.

"So, what about that one? No change? For once, Julia and I have been contacted..."

Then, slightly in between, Atlas starts talking.

"... there has been no change in Eccleria or Boreas. I intend to remain glued for a while until your sisters return.... Maybe your sister is worried that history has not been rewritten in our time, but we have no way to observe that change, so even if something has changed, we can't tell her that? You heard a meaningless explanation from Cortex, right? It's just... Teresa, was that the right guard?

"Er... but we were talking about a fictional figure, the Teresa Right Guard, showing up at the highlights of all times, tampering with history, suddenly disappearing, right?

'I don't think you said that much, did you?... even if the "Teresa Right Guard" existed until a second ago, there was no help or means to prove that it was him or her. "

and Atlas to supplement on the story Cortex would have heard. Apparently, Cortex was also asking about the "Theresa Right Guard analogy". Maybe Cortex likes the analogy.

Is that what triggered it...... Waltz seems to remember something.

"Oh, speaking of which? Cortex made the hypothesis that" nothing will affect future times if we do something in this past era. "You know what happened to that? The last thing I heard was talk about proving a hypothesis or not..."

'After observing the "event" over here, you're talking about rewriting the past over there to see if that's changed the observations over here?

"Hmm, that's what you were talking about"

'You weren't listening?

"Yep. I had things to do with me and... So, what happened to the result?

'No, I haven't done it yet. When I did the experiment, I couldn't say enough that it didn't have a bad impact on the world, so if you're going to do it, let's talk about doing it with caution... I wish I could save and load like a game......'

"Or the magic of" going back "with CTRL + Z..."

Yeah, after I talked to you--

…………

—— and waltz tilting his neck. At that moment she seemed to feel something caught on her words.

And notice.

"... ahhh?!

♪ Biku ♪

"Hey, what is it?! Suddenly...... You even stepped on a painting?

"Wait a minute...... Would you make jokes like that and not do anything to interfere with my thoughts?

"Ooh, ooh..."

"Er... I just..."

'What's the matter with you? If I put it in my mouth, I might be able to give you some advice.

"... yes. Yes, I remember. Someone said they did time warp before... I thought you said you were going backwards from the future.

"Who is it? The one who said that...... '

Atlas seemed to think at this time that Waltz had been heard frowning by a stranger. Who the hell would believe someone who said, 'I am a futurist who did time warp and came to this past era' etc... Perhaps almost none.

But when he heard the next word Waltz had spoken, Atlas decided to change his mind.

"... it's Lucia"

"" 'Eh...' "

"I was attacked a long time ago by a pervert who calls himself" God. "Every energy."

'When are we talking... I don't suppose your sister's history is being rewritten?

"No, no, that's not true, is it? Look, there was a time when energy was shot with a physical weapon like a charged particle cannon and crashed into the ocean, right?

'Oh, is that what you were talking about? I was in the castle, so I only heard the story...'

"Well, there's no difference in memory.... so Lucia and I tried to fight back against that" god "and Lucia got shot in the middle of the fight... He said that when he forgot me, I was going to destroy the world."

"You're not doomed..."

"Yes, it is, but even if we leave the story alone that I destroyed the world for now... is it true that Lucia was shot? I was watching it too... But that girl... Then she felt as if nothing had happened and didn't even check the wound... So, what I heard afterwards was that I was back in time... and I thought it was a strange story to make up."

'I see...... Is it possible for Lucia...'

That's what I said, Atlas of how I conceived on the other side of a bear doll. He seemed to be him, assembling something like a hypothesis.

Towards such a brother, Waltz added another word.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. Speaking of which, she also said," Another self helped me "..."

'What do you mean?

"Come on? From what I can tell, it didn't look like Lucia was splitting up between us."

'... sounds like you should hear it in person'

"Yep. I'll ask tomorrow.... No, maybe the day after tomorrow..."

Waltz thinks about Lucia, who would be doing something extraordinary since she was taken to the lab by Cortex. As she expected, Lucia should be sleeping tired today and tomorrow, but still, given the seriousness of the matter, she can't put the question behind her... She seems to have decided to head over to her sister after the sun rises.
