Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... that's the end of the story from me. I am deeply grateful to everyone. I want you to keep helping me."

"Was that a brave greeting?

Greetings from the Endels boy. That was such a weighty greeting to come out of him that he was only as old as elementary school. Whoever was listening to his greeting was holding his head down or snorting emotionally...... Everyone seemed to be equally impressed.

"Come on Enders...... no, brave Enders. I need a launch order!

"Um... Sister Julia? As always, please."

"... I was going to boost the place because of it. If you don't like it, you have no choice."

and after returning to the original tone ——

"All personnel, prepare to launch. Engine output is 10%. Let's start by floating in the air!

"" "Roger!

—— Julia issued a decree on behalf of the Enders boy.

The voices are cut off and the people who were there move in unison.

"Activate the engine! Output rising! 1%... 3%..." queuin...

"That's surprisingly late...... Or is it just an anomaly in the way Energia's output goes up?

"Target output reached!

"Ok.... Start transmitting power!

And, Julia giving instructions. At that moment, the crestling, which was also 20 km in diameter, moved out.

◇

Back a few minutes before that. In the bridge of energy that was floating in the sky ——

"You're really big."

What kind of structure is the contents?

—— The Energy sisters were looking down at the crestling spreading beneath their eyes. Julia contacted me beforehand to make a crestling move, so I waited in the sky for the ring to rise.

Inside the bridge, besides them, there was also Victor the Swordsman... Because he was not interested in what Crestling looked like, or he seemed to be tapping on the console that was on the spot and watching the information that was displayed there.

That's what he said, he noticed something, and he basically said something like this.

"... hmm? Something's suddenly showing up here. The numbers are starting to rise, right?... twitchy...? What is this..."

"Uh, that. There's a compass or an azimuthal magnetic needle, right? The arrow on that tool, the one with the number, right?

"Normally, it's constant... how big is it?

"Right...... the numbers don't come out right away because I don't like calculations, but you've got about 3 more zeros (0) than you just did"

"... eh?

"Hmm? Did I say something strange?

Victor looks surprised when he sees the look on the faces of the two, whether the reaction of the energy sisters turning themselves together was unexpected.

Then, the energy mk1 said this in a hurried tone.

"The attack is coming!

"What...?

Keep going. Energy mk2 also speaks up.

"Back to the ring now... That's dangerous... what do we do?

'... Oh, yeah! We have to get in touch!

mk1 was in a hurry and tried to connect her to Julia to keep her informed of the situation.

But things go in an unexpected direction.

Gogogogogogogogo......

The whole ring started diving, wondering if a white wave stood around the crest ring floating at sea.

There ——

Dgowwwww!!

—— A bright white beam flies in.

But the ring is already underwater... The beam that hits the surface of the water is heavily attenuated at sea level and ends up simply creating a small water vapor explosion.

Seeing how it was, the Energy Sisters and Victor tilted their necks in alignment.

"Why did you sink? Didn't I just tell you I was flying, Mr. Yulia?

You said "fly" or "move". I didn't say "sink"... "

"But you did something about it."

"Why don't you get in touch and ask him directly?

"I can't be in the water. I can't get a radio wave... '

I think I'll have to wait for it to come up.

"... something must have happened"

and the swordsmen exchanging such exchanges overlooking the sunken rings.

Meanwhile, white beams flew in from across the horizon --

Dogowong!!

Dogowong!!

—— and create white water columns at sea.

However, no matter how many times the beam was shot, it still never struck directly into the ring, being held back by a wall named Ocean. Note that some beams ——

Dogowong!!

—— and seems to have hit the energy hull directly, but nothing happened because measures were applied by the heavy particle shield to avoid treading the same as before?

"... how many can you shoot in a day, one more shot?

"... right"

By the way, aren't you going to fight back?

Your sister told you not to.

"I don't know if I'm left to be hit. - I think?

"What would you do if your future changed because you fought back?

'That's right...... so mk2 can stay fucked?

Of course I regret it.

'Well, let's do it, shall we? Look, don't find out. Softly......'

"…………"

"... no"

"Chi..."

"No, but... if it's to the point of intimidating shooting so they don't get damage, isn't that okay?

"Okay? Don't hit me, okay? Absolutely, huh?

So, a swordsman who gives permission to shoot while flagging. He should be here as a stopper, but he just didn't seem to like being left to be hit.
