Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Exactly, making the details of the town is not the same as the future"

"... different house?

"Different way?

Different things for sale?

"Different kinds of residents in the first place."

"Right. But I don't know... that's funny."

In front of a line that came to the high ground, the image of the town of Rice had spread. Although the town they were looking at was no different from the future in that it had large ups and downs because it was built on top of the roots of the world tree and had a tall house, it seemed to create a somewhat calm atmosphere because many of the people who lived there were not demons, but ghosts. To make a simple analogy, although the towns made by the demons in the future after 1300 were "western-style" and glamorous, the towns made by the demons in this past era were "Japanese-style" and discreet, and so on.

As one line compares the appearance of the town of Rice in [the future] and [the past], only Deprexa seems to have compared [the past] to [the past older than now]. In the first place, she doesn't know the town of Rice in [the future], so there was only the object of comparison in the past.

"Ghosts thrive in these days..."

Brave men react to such Deprexa words.

"Was it different back in the day?

"About 300 years ago now, the demons held the real power of the town. Plus 300 years before that, ghosts flourished, and even before that --"

"... I mean, in a 300 year cycle or so, demons and ghosts are being replaced, right?

and the brave Leonardo stops talking about Deprexa on the way that was going to go on extended. Because of this, Deprexa, although she gives a slightly dissatisfied look...... In fact, I wasn't wrong to speculate on the brave, so --

"... you're right. As if I had signed up, I regularly change my powers."

—— and seems to have decided to take the lead in adultery.

"Why, 300 years? Do you know why?

"No. Neither do I. That kind of insanity, or maybe you have a habit as a nation."

Deprexa to think about while saying so. Even though the rules were somewhat visible, until the cause, even the goddess did not seem to know.

By the way, Deprexa doesn't know that demons and ghosts are a species created by Nike. Although I know about Nike's genetic manipulation techniques, I only know to the extent that I am getting some hands on using small animals such as insects and acting as demons...... I didn't seem to realise that the range extended to people. If Deprexa had known about it, she would not have hesitated to eliminate Nike.

On the other hand, the brave men knew the background to some extent, so they seemed to have been able to make a guess in the form of "maybe" but they didn't know if it was good to put it in their mouth... Looks like you decided to keep your mouth shut on Deprexa. If here they had revealed that presumption to Deprexa, perhaps the future would have been rewritten.

Yes, irreversibly, permanently….

"Talk about Mr. Nike? That's me, isn't it? '

"Ah, Akum"

"Wait, energy!

"... what's wrong?

"... no. Because if I moved too far forward, I was going to let my legs slip.... Right? Energy."

"".................. "" Kokoku

"... you should be aware of that"

Thanks to the followup by the swordsman, the future seems somehow preserved (?).

That's how the line came in front of the flat trunk of the world tree, without a house or a path. Instead of tree sinuses and scratches, there's not even a bug-eating hole there...... From that place, it never seemed to fit inside the tree.

However, it was Deprexa who had told me that he had been inside the tree several times that led him to a line on this occasion. I mean, there's got to be some kind of passage here... The brave man, who could not figure it out, inquired against Deprexa.

"Um... Dear Deprexa? Are you sure you want to stay here?

Deprexa says this in response to the brave inquiry that

"... there's no one in town around, is there?

"What?"

"I'm asking if there's anybody nearby but us."

"Yes... no..."

"... then I'll go!

That's what he said, Deprexa, when he slowly puts his fist on the trunk of the world tree--

Zdwong!!

—— An unprincipled force made me wear a big hole there. Probably drilled a hole with powers like a hybrid of magic and science.

"" "" "" "……" "" "Pocahontas" "

"Come on, let's move on. If you don't hurry up, people will come from behind."

Deprexa disappears into the hole first when you say so. Apparently, she's a lot more actionable than one line thought (?) It seems to have been a goddess.
