Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

After completion of the description of the food production facilities. Deprexa has something else to show you in a row...

Deprexa inquired into the line as she traveled in the electric cart again.

"How about you take a look?

What did you think when you saw the plant...... Like I said beforehand, she wanted to hear her thoughts from everyone.

In contrast, the first time I opened my mouth--

"Is this crestling... a boxship?

—— It was Teresa. However, her words are not what she thinks...... It was more of a question for Deprexa.

"... why did you think it was a boxship?

"We took a tour of the facility, and we found out that DNA from all kinds of organisms, plant and animal alike, was being delivered. Besides, can this crestling travel as much as you like, in the water or in the air? For example, when this planet was doomed, I thought that if this crestling alone could escape, it could become a boxship. And the design of that door...... Is that a portrait of people begging for salvation in Crestling?

to Theresa's words ——

"You're in trouble...... you're right. I've been told everything I wanted to say."

—— That said, a deprexa dropping her shoulders, with a happy look on her face. Sebastian, who was driving an electric cart next to her, also seemed to laugh bitterly when she heard Teresa's point.

It's just...

Between the beginning of the tour and this far, Lucia, who remained silent, seemed to still be concerned. She opens her mouth for the first time at this time.

"Hey, Mr. Deprexa. Now, as Teresa said... has this world ever been about to perish?

"It's..."

"Maybe... I think I built this kind of facility because I was about to perish... that's actually a little different, because this world was about to perish, or because it could perish, not because I created this institution--"

And Lucia speaks lightly of the bomb.

"--I made it because I wanted to destroy it, or something... I was wondering?

To that word--

"Hey?! Miss Lucia?! What are you talking about?

—— and panicking Teresa. The others seemed to round their eyes by accident.

The opposing deprexa asked Lucia this once she had meditated on her eyes and then without changing that soft look.

"Why did you think that?

"Hmm, just an idea. But...... if I insist, is it because there are no people here? Sebastian thinks he's a little different from people because he feels like Energia... and I wonder if he might not like people, Mr. Deprexa....... yeah. I don't hate people... what..."

and Lucia mouths her thoughts directly without wrapping them up. Every word of her like that, everyone seemed to chill their liver...... As for the deprexa against, she waited for honest thoughts like Lucia had spoken, and she still never broke her happy look.

"... Indeed, Lucia is right. I don't trust people very much and have destroyed the world several times (...) or (...)." God's will "or" God's contemplation "…. Using a convenient excuse as a shield, we all fight each other as we please. I couldn't forgive that. It is always the weak and powerless who suffer..."

"Mr. Deprexa......"

"... you've become foolish. But it's not now, is it? As always, if you resented people, you wouldn't have been invited to crestling like this."

The expression of Deprexa, who said so, emitted an atmosphere somewhere, as if a possession had been taken. Because of this, Sebastian, who knew her well, seemed to stare at Deprexa as surprised. Apparently, the usual deprexa and now the deprexa have changed as if they were someone else.

Incidentally, in the context of her change of mind, this seems to have been the case.

"This, too, could all be due to Waltz. Because thanks to her moderate destruction of my system, I was freed from something black that had dominated my thinking until now."

"Your sister?

"Yes. She destroyed my --"

and where Deprexa tried to say something ——

Kick!!

—— The electric cart made a skir noise and stopped abruptly.

"Also, I don't care anymore! Master Deprexa's story was too... much... '

"... Sebastian. There's something wrong with the language, isn't there? Isn't there a problem with the system?

'Yes, no, not as good as Dear Deprexa...'

".................." Biki

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to surprise you. You have arrived at the following destinations"

And, Sebastian apologizes toward one while gently ignoring Deprexa's gaze.

As a result, the line turns its gaze to the door that was in front of me... The doors that were there, unlike any previous iron doors ——

"" "... vault?

—— It looked like a safe.
