Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The perspective moves to the ground squad.

"Not yet?

"Maybe a little more."

'When you came before, you weren't this depressed, were you?

"mk1, that's because the times are different. Look, even your little Endels over there hair hasn't retreated yet, has it?

"Hmm?!

"Oh well. The woods, over time, change like hair. '

"... energy. You guys, I need to talk to you a little later." Gogogogogogo.

"What?!

Victor the swordsman turns his pulling grin toward the energy sisters who say what never should be said. The energy sisters who saw it seemed to shun as if they had noticed after trembling into small pieces.

Look at that, Deprexa opens her mouth.

"You're close to these kids, aren't you?

"We're close... or... Oh, you're right..."

With a gessy look somewhere, after saying just that, it doesn't connect to the rest of the words... Victor kept quiet. Such an inside of him was not so simple to explain, but seemed very complex and delicate.

"You seem to have spoiled your mood..."

"There are circumstances that words cannot easily describe. Leave him alone."

and Leonardo, the ladies costume brave, who replies instead of Victor, who is silent. It is unclear whether Deprexa understood exactly that word of his after all... She never seemed to touch more on the relationship between the Energizers and Victor.

The place where such a row was walking was in a depressed forest stretching out at the foot of a world tree. For once the road was a road-like road, and the grass seemed cut open and tidy. But although I've been walking for about half a day in the morning, I haven't arrived at my destination yet...... The forest of the world tree had heavily blunted a line of feet, as if to reject those who walked there.

Serpentine as if avoiding large roots, sometimes overcoming or diving below...... In the meantime, the demons who live there come after the gap and the line.

"Ah, here we go again!

"5 o'clock direction, distance 50"

"Aye!

Zdwong!!

Based on information from the Energy Sisters, Victor throws a stone in the direction where the demon is located. But it didn't seem to harm the demon by simply snatching down the trees that were nearby, not directly targeting it.... Yes, I just snagged down the trees.

"... Again, I don't think I'm human"

Palm-sized stone crush thrown by Victor towards the woods. Every single one of them had the main cannon of a tank and the destructive power of a mystery. From the demons, that's enough of a threat to deserve... Whenever the stones flew in, they fled the spot. It should be noted that the same individual was not attacking, and another individual, unaware of the circumstances, seemed to be approaching a replacement.

Deprexa still couldn't help but wonder about Victor. I'm close with two incarnate girls from Air Battleship Energy, and I have a monstrous arm... No longer seemed to her that Victor was an incarnation of something comparable to energy. Or ——

"No way he too...... Guardian?

—— I was wondering if it's a superweapon like ourselves.

But the words of the brave man who answered that inquiry remained unchanged --

"There are profound circumstances to this. Leave him alone."

—— and it was something that prompted speculation. Or it could have been like a warning that if you stick your neck deep, you can't guarantee your safety. However, there is no element of political rush, in the sense of pure "caution".

I'm still not sure how Deprexa perceived that... She started saying these things.

"... I see. There's no waltz here because you can keep an eye on me."

"No, maybe, in the case of Master Waltz, I don't think we're thinking that far. Besides, we don't want to be hostile to Master Deprexa, and I don't think we can win."

And the brave man who shakes his head and denies that he felt it even with some scorching odor.

Even in the meantime, the gladiator's battle against demons continued intermittently.

"4 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 10 o'clock... 2 o'clock more!

'Uh... yeah, I don't know!

"Finally, you mean all directions?

Zudddhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

"... no, you don't have to worry about it, Leonardo. Even if you don't have the intention to spy on me, it's true that Waltz has sent a mighty force near me."

"... I'm sorry, Dear Deprexa.... Victor. Weight yourself."

"" Huh?

"Master Deprexa is having trouble dealing with your ramblings. Deal with the demons a little more, weakness."

"Ooh...?

Deal with weakness?

"Uh, the way I can handle it."

And Victors, who completely mistake the intentions of the words of the brave and cut the rudder in a different direction. As a result, Deprexa and the brave once again frown... It will not be necessary to dare say that that is not Waltz's plan.

In doing so, I could see in their eyes the appearance of a town built at the roots of the world tree.
