Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

About that night.

There was a waltz in the captain's seat on the bridge of Energia. Besides her on the spot, Julia and Dahlia, and Cortex--

"... I'm so scared..."

"" "Uh..." "

--Somehow everyone seemed to have a dark look on their face.

What the hell were they afraid of? Of course, if you weren't afraid of ghosts coming out on board, you weren't pitying yourself about Victor, the swordsman who got bogged down by the energy mk2 and looked miserable, let alone putting up Teresa's funeral when Lucia stopped functioning because she was fed homemade Inari sushi. Those are everyday landscapes. It's not enough to make a scene.

When it comes to their gathering at the bridge at night, it is communication with the future world. If we were to communicate under the same circumstances as before, we could say that there was nothing wrong. But now, in the past times, we are being hit by so much change that the moon is gone. Is it because of this that the world of the future has been separated from the times of the past in which we are...... The four men on the bridge seemed to be frustrated by such concerns.

In particular, Waltz alone seemed to have yet another troubling circumstance.

"I hope you're okay..."

…………

"I'm so nervous..."

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

"... I hope Atlas wasn't mad at me for not contacting you yesterday..."

"" "………" "Shh.

Apparently, Waltz is worried that the future will change and that his brother Atlas, who has left them in the future world, will be pissed off more than the concerns they may be left behind in past times.

I'm not sure if I'm guessing that, but Julia makes a small sigh of relief and suggests toward the waltz.

"Dear Waltz. Let's just get in touch. If the future has changed, you just have to figure out a way to undo it, and when it comes to Atlas... you have promised to contact me every day."

"... that, absolutely, is the flag that pisses you off, right?

"… it's a good idea to apologize as soon as you connect your correspondence"

"... right. It would be better if the no-con were sooner..."

And...... Waltz, ready, looks at Dahlia and lets her put the bear doll she had on her arm--on the desk.

"... hey, sister. You're saying it all because you know it sounds this way, right? I'm having a lot of trouble reacting... I'm not saying that with vegetables, am I?

—— Because the bear doll for communicating with the future had no on-off feature, their conversation seemed to be stuck in Atlas.

◇

It was also during the bundle that I was delighted with the successful communication with the future. Waltz, as expected, was to be pissed off by Atlas.

'... so you jumped time from planet to planet and the moon was gone?

"No, really, it wasn't on purpose, was it? Lucia said she didn't have that much magic in her..."

"But Lucia herself, she's unstable in her control of magic, isn't she? Is it possible that I intended to enchant with the same feeling as before, but I added so much magic that I couldn't control it and couldn't compare it to the old days?

"... could be..."

'Damn...... You're the only one who can be Lucia's brake player, so think about him a little more. If your sister doesn't hold on, not just Lucia, but everyone gets annoyed, right?

"... I'll do it right"

What to do better...... Waltz was troubled, even though he said he would do good himself. If she could feel the magic, she wouldn't have had such a problem, but in the world, it doesn't work that well... It's been a year since he came to this world, and Waltz still can't perceive what magic is.

In order for her, the machine, to perceive magic, she was just talking about having sensors to detect magic. But that wasn't easy. Waltz couldn't make a device to detect magic.

There are many who can perceive magic while holding the body of a machine. The Cortex and their homunculus are. They were listening to magic using the beast ears attached to their heads, so in principle, if they applied it, they should also be able to make sensors for magic detection. However, the mechanism of special cells to sense the magic around the beast ear had not yet been elucidated and no prospect of practical application stood. Cortex was the only one who studied magic and magic, and she was interested in something different with her, which seemed to be why the development of the sensors didn't go any further.

Alternatively, there was a method of culturing cells that perceived magic and connecting them to Waltz's system, but she was a complete machine without blood. Like the red-blooded homunculus, it wasn't so easy to sustain cell life. Alternatively, there may be the question of where to wear the manoeuvre armor.

With such circumstances, Waltz has lived in isolation from magic while in a world full of magic. It will continue until we can develop sensors that can do magic perception.

'Do good, or... Cortex, help my sister. "

"That's a hard story inside ~? If it's okay to abandon research to return to the future, it's not possible. Instead, why don't you do some research on your brother ~?

"... Mid-Eden's reign and a possible renunciation of his military command over Ecleria."

"I guess so ~..."

Cortex turns to his sister, hitting on the relationship. Waltz, who was ahead of that gaze, was gessoli, because he was more aware of the problems he had than anyone else on the spot.
