Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Meanwhile, by then, on board ——

"... hmm? FCS Override?"

Chung......

"I feel like I hear something right now... are you out of your mind?

—— A flying dragon looking like a girl was sitting in the captain's seat on the bridge and taking the helm. Whatever she said, she was a real "flying dragon" - more experienced in flying than anyone else and better at manipulating energy. Especially since the ship is equipped with an automatic pilot device, he didn't seem to say anything about operating it at all.

Her assistant like that had Julia attached to it. Patternly, it is not surprising that Eve is attached to the assistant, but since the life of the sailor is at stake, it seems that the person in the responsible position should be attached to the assistant.

"... I saw the log and it looks like the energy guys on the ground used lasers. Maybe a demon or something attacked you?

"Hmm, a demon... Well, there won't be a problem. There are lords Ene and Victor."

"Right...... (Energia and Victor, right? There are brave men and enders over there, and deprexa are there with them... from Feilongchan, I guess that means those three people you can rely on the most...)"

and that Julia is anticipating the idea of a flying dragon in her heart...... I don't seem to have noticed that, but Fei Long exhales heavily.

"But you have nothing to do... Am I really just supposed to sit here?

"If nothing happens, it's enough to just sit there, right? Yeah, if nothing happens."

"... that something will happen?

"Can't you see that? 'Cause we came to this past world before we knew what was going on? Checking the situation while circling around the world tree might not really be safe..."

A few weeks ago I found a "macrophage" on the heavenly side of the world tree, and I tried to retrieve him, and a line was flown by every hull of energy in past times. You couldn't have expected that, but you can tell me that this situation is safe now...... At least to Julia, it didn't seem safe.

It was the same for the others. This is why we continue to observe at a distance while maintaining a certain distance, not close to the world tree.

"Anyway, when something happens, please? I'll ask Eve to make you a delicious snack when this is over."

"Hmm. The unworkable don't eat, right? I get it. I'm going to sit here until the Waltz investigation is over."

That's what I say, Fei Long looking around to see if there's any change.

But naturally, change can't happen that way... After a while, she seemed to get an early snack.

◇

Meanwhile, outside the ship of Energia ——

There's nothing there.

"There's nothing ~"

—— There were two shadows observing the heavenly side of the world tree. It is Waltz and Cortex.

They seemed to be standing on the surface of the energy hull in an environment with little air to investigate whether there were any anomalies in the sky of the world tree. However, we do not know the anomaly with our eyes, and the magic measuring equipment prepared by Cortex also shows normal values…. Special. There didn't seem to be anything to gain from this.

"This already...... we're just going to have to get off directly, right?

"Hey, I think that's dangerous ~?

"So you want to use it in a drone too?

"... do you have ~?

"Nothing... but I can't. The air is thin... (In the first place, a drone that can fly out of the stratosphere is called a" drone ")"

Altitude 130 km. Barometric pressure ≤ 1 hectopascal. There, propellers, turbines, etc. are not useful... It was a space like environment that couldn't be manoeuvred unless it was a rocket engine or an anti-gravity reactor. But instead of gravity free, the gravitational pull of the planet is firmly working... It was extremely difficult to float a flying body like a drone.

Waltz, who knew it, speaks of alternatives.

"Well, we're gonna have to use macrophages, aren't we? You want Lucia or someone to send you a metastatic magic?

"Do you want to use No. 1 ~? But I think the situation will get even worse if you lose control of No. 1. ~?

"So, even the energy micromachines send it?

"It will be difficult to investigate from corner to corner because of the slow movement ~. Is it a pinpoint if you want to do it ~? But they can't sense magic, so we have to get something around there ~?

"Well, I knew you had to get close. Oh, but I don't know what magic is, so I can't, can I?

"That's okay. Actually, I made the sensors. ~" hey.

"... let's not talk about this"

Whatever you think, all you could think about was the development of your sacrifice, Waltz refusing to receive the terminal Cortex took out of his pocket. Then after a discussion between the two of us, it seems that we are going to let the spare micromachines on board the energy have a device capable of detecting traces of magic with high accuracy and head to investigate the world tree.

However, what the investigation found was inconsistent with Waltz's expectations.
