Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... white and big moon, is it"

At the end of business hours and in the cafeteria where people were gone, Deprexa was narrowing her eyes looking out into the sky. One of the two moons that was ahead of that gaze was glowing brilliantly since Lucia's magic collided... It illuminated the world so brightly that it could see the scenery on one side of the perimeter as far away as possible. That said, although the view that was visible from the flying energy seemed to be a bright white cloud sea, not green plains such as grass and hills.

An unexpected figure sat down in her seat across the street looking up at the sky like that.

"Yes. In the future night sky, only one big moon shines. Sometimes the little moon is good...... I still miss that big moon"

Emperor of the Boleas Empire in the future world —— Yuki, who was a demon king to do so. By chance, he and Deprexa had eyes on each other when he wanted to go through this place, and he was talking straight in.

"How big was it?

"Right...... this much...... no, this much?

With that said, bring your hands in front of your face, and Yuki makes a circle there. But naturally, the view I was seeing from her couldn't even look like a deprexa--

"Then I don't know."

—— Deprexa smiled bitterly and shook her neck to the side.

In contrast, Yuki tries to describe the size of the moon somehow... It turned out to be an abstract explanation and seemed difficult to convey.

"Uh... big enough to cover up the sky... not so much, but a little smaller than half the sky..."

"Pfft...... Indeed, if it were a little smaller than half of all heaven, it would never be smaller."

"Uh... yes... (Ugh... after all, about half of that?

And Yuki, who regrets his lack of words.

Then he had a crying look on his face (?) Turn to her, Deprexa asks.

"By the way, are you sure... that you were a demon king in the future world?

"Yes? Oh, yes. Yes. I was holding it around with my sisters, ruling the Demonic Nation. As a goddess... you may be touching your eyes."

"No. That's not true. I'm just balancing the world, because I'm the Demon King, and I'm not making it my enemy."

Yuki seemed to have a question for Deprexa, who said so. But before asking, I cut out a story from Deprexa that Yuki would have liked to hear.

"... don't you have something you want to ask me? Why did you instruct Enders to kill the director of that orphanage in the town of Forn?"

…………

"I hear that land, in the age of the future, is where your country is. And earlier I made a statement that condones demon kings like you... Didn't that seem inconsistent to you?

"... Yes. If you can tell me, please let me know."

Yuki nodded heavily at Deprexa's inquiry. Because the events that struck Dean Vixen were not other personnel for Yuki. On top of that, Yuki also has a deep relationship with Katarina, which Yuki says to her teacher, so she couldn't help but be more concerned.

Then Deprexa began to talk about the situation, as she responded to her chief approval.

"... do you know what the source of magic in this world is?

"Magic......? What constitutes magic is magic... The latest theory is that causal inconsistencies are materializing as magic..."

"... who thought of the theory?

"It's Master Cortex."

"... I see. Next, then. Do you know what happens when magic is consumed as magic?

"When consumed...? Don't you just have holes in the ground or mountains blowing up?

"... the analogy is a little drastic, but you're right. But that's not the essence."

"What?"

"Think the other way around. Because cause and effect distort, magic occurs. What is the opposite?

"Reverse... Because magic occurs, cause and effect… no, if magic is consumed, causal distortion is reduced, you mean?!

Yuki arrived at one hypothesis, as prompted by Deprexa. For her, the hypothesis was something that deserved shock.

Because if that hypothesis is correct, it changes the way things look.

"So whether Lucia breaks the moon, builds the Great River, or blows up the town--"

"... I think that's too extreme an example, but the result is less causal distortion. Above all, the proof is that the future has not changed so far. It would be difficult without this much hypothesis to explain that we have created a crack big enough to bisect the continent, but the future will remain the same."

That's what I said and sighed heavily, Deprexa stopping the words once there.

Then she started talking about Dean Vixen.

"… back to the story, Dean Vixen was carrying a great distortion —— magic -- into his body. But she had no magical aptitude... In other words, while the magic accumulated, he was not going out there."

"That means..."

"... if I left her alone, the land was destined for some difficulty in the near future. Without distortion being consumed as magic, in the form of outbursts…"

and a deprexa who literally speaks of bomb speech. Of course, although her statement is not 100% correct...... Seemed to have had a huge effect on shaking Yuki's mind. Especially since Deprexa didn't seem to care about it.

Deprexa then utters a further ton of demo remarks.
