Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... hmm. You want me to know why Deprexa created the Demons and the Humans? That's what it is, isn't it? Subcultural influences, huh? I'm sure. Well, I don't know if it's true."

After breaking up with Deprexa, the Julians who came to the bridge were explaining the situation to Waltz, who was there. At that time, the two of them asked Waltz why they created the human and demonic tribe, as Deprexa told them... If Waltz is right, apparently the reason why he was able to be human and demonic was not for a busy reason.

"Was that you..."

"Sabuka-cha... what?

"... I mean, there's a story like that in Waltz-like's world, and you imitated it?

"What?"

"Will you elaborate on that later? Sampled.... So, Master Waltz? How are you doing with the crestling?

For the record, Julia asked Waltz about the real deal. Leaving the current airspace, he left Waltz to decide whether or not to go to Crestling where Deprexa's home was located.

"Hey...... where is Crestling now? All I know is the name of that castle called Acerdyne. It wasn't floating on the city..."

"Is it out of the continent?

"I can't deny that possibility... but isn't Deprexa the only one who manages this continent? Then…"

"Again, somewhere on this continent, do you mean..."

"Probably the most likely thing. Because the only places I've been in this past era are Endercia, Mid-Eden, Olija, Boreas, Alborosa and the rest of the Elf Country... for example, Merclio, Eccleria, somewhere around there that I haven't been yet? Well, if you ask him directly in person, you'll find out soon enough."

And since I've lined up the country I came up with from one end... Waltz uttered the conclusion.

"Talk about going to Crestling, okay? Let's talk to Cortex, shall we? And when you go to Cortex's room, be careful not to get wrapped up. Okay?"

"" Ah, yes... "

and a pair of Sacubas snorting as they blush. Such were the victims who seemed to feed on Lucia's auto spelling, too.

Thus the line was to leave the world tree and head to Crestling, where there was a home in Deprexa.

Meanwhile, around that time. Among the laboratories and infirmaries in Catalina (Greater) ——

"I got a story from Mr. Deprexa about..."

—— Yuki was explaining to those who were in the room what she had heard from Deprexa. That is, the story of why the brave men were made and why Dean Vixen was the subject of a crusade.

Yuki initially seemed worried about revealing the story to Catalina. Because it was supposed to be heard directly from Deprexa.

But Yuki thought.... I wonder why Deprexa explained it to herself, not to Catalina. As we pondered why, Yuki seemed to see one possibility.

"I think that story was prompted by me... to speak to Master Catalina. I didn't ask you directly to tell me... but it seems that Deprexa feels sorry for Catalina."

Dean Vixen, whom Deprexa had instructed the Enders boys to kill, is the same for Catalina as for her parents. It wasn't that easy to forgive where I apologized. Besides, Catalina might have been able to cure Dean Vixen's "illness that cannot be released by magic." Only though the historical fact that Dean Vixen's crusade was carried out by the brave Enders was the only reason to justify Deprexa's decision, there were no other elements at all that could be tolerated for Deprexa's actions.

Thus, between Catalina and Deprexa, there seemed to be a deep crack that was still visible. Deprexa knew that too and seemed to have made a leap towards improving her relationship with Catalina.

Anyway, Catalina's standing in this ship is second only to Waltz. It was too risky to remain hated by her...

It's just... Catalina herself seemed to have no hostility towards Deprexa. But he didn't seem interested either.

"Really? Honestly, I just want you to leave me alone..."

And, Catalina, who cuts the story off so badly there. Though she never put extra emotions on the table, inside of it, anger and thoughts must be boiling back...

"And my name is... well, I don't have Catalina here, so I don't mind Catalina. Could you just stop putting" Dear "on it? I call you Yuki (...) too, right?

"Excuse me...... So from now on, I'm going to call you"

"... excuse me. It would be helpful if you could call it off or say" Mr. "..."

and Catalina flying white flags to Yuki, who is nearly 20 times older. In the time of his birth, even far before Yuki, all his real age seemed irrelevant.

Then she began to disclose her thoughts about Deprexa, whether she felt sorry for the older Yuki. It seemed to contain her own affliction there.
