Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"So... is it affecting the future?

'Even if they say it's an influence... I don't know because we can't make any observations. But the moon was still floating today, wasn't it? Sure, just one big moon?

"Yes...... Even if the moon is floating, it doesn't prove that the future hasn't changed... but I'm relieved."

In the future the moon is floating...... That was a suggestion that one day in the future, the lost moon would return. For Waltz, who thought that the past might have been rewritten by their actions, it seemed to be a horrible report.

'But leap from star to star... That's Lucia.'

"That's right, it's getting beyond the level..."

'I guess. So... are you thinking about the impact of the leap?

"Besides the fact that the moon is gone, you don't think there's any particular problem? The planet itself jumped, and there shouldn't be any relative time difference between you and your time? Well, if you jump at a level of thousands of years, there's no chance you'll bump into past stars in the same planetary orbit... that's just Lucia, but you can't make that long jump... I'm sure."

'Right...... By the way, isn't there any way to find out how much time you jumped?

"Well... it would have been possible to guess if we had a database around it, like the location of the stars, the distance, the relative speed, but it's hard because we didn't take the data before the leap"

'... it wouldn't make sense to send empty information over here'

"It's going to take a while to look at the sky and measure it, so now I don't think we need to do it?

If we measure the stars that float in the sky and calculate the speed of movement of the stars, we can make predictions about how far the stars and stars will be over the years. In other words, comparing the distances between the stars in the world of the future and the world of the past should have allowed us to calculate the time difference between the future and the past with considerable accuracy.

However, in order to calculate the speed of a star, the distance of the star must be measured with considerable accuracy. That's also a few short months, as we have to observe how the distance between the stars opens rather than observing them at a level of one or two hours. In some cases it was necessary to measure them in years to decades. If the accuracy of the camera measuring the distance is rough, it will have to take even longer.

Waltz, who could not spend much time on it, did not seem to intend to weigh the exact time at that point. Anyway, their purpose now is to combine the future with the tsuji of the past and return to the original times. How far the future and the past were apart wasn't very important to them.

Atlas also seemed to understand the matter. So when he cut the subject up there, he asked against Waltz

. Apparently, he's been wondering something.

'I won't do it now, or... So, what were you doing now?... No, should I ask you what you're trying to do?

"What? I'm just digging a hole in the elf and building a base to remodel the energy?

"Sister... you're actually willing to change the future, aren't you?

"No, no, I have to go to space, so there's no choice. We have to observe what this star is like in the star system, and when we find the moon, we have to pull it..."

'How do you pull it... You can't do that with energy, can you?

"Well, there's... magic, here's the thing, papa"

'... is that Lucia?

"Yep. Lucia's metastatic magic, or beam, would make it easy to pull one or two of the moons.... I'm sure."

'What if that doesn't work?

"I guess I'll do it. Drop an asteroid around it into a micro black hole to move the moon with the jet it occurs, targeted"

'Can you do that?

"... I don't know. But you have to do it. If we don't do it, Lucia and everyone but me from the outside of this world could disappear..."

'... right. It's the only thing you and Lucia can do, so I'm not going to say anything... but don't be too impotent, okay?

"Yeah, leave it to me? Because nobody beats just the technology to skip."

And waltz answering with a smile. Though Atlas was only a little anxious about her words in reply to half the joke, half the seriousness...... He seems to have decided to leave it to Waltz because he remembers that there are trusted people on Waltz's side (by his side).

As a result, there is a gap in the topic. Guess what, Atlas cut it out.

"Sister. I have a report. '

"... that's a" bad report "and a" good report "?

"No, unfortunately, it's only a bad report."

"I really don't want to hear that...... How bad does it feel, by the way?

'Well... it feels so bad that the Ecclerians have begun to fully operate the weapons of the modern world'

"I see..."

"Ah......"

…………

"... Actually, that's the report?

Waltz, realizing that Atlas was cutting to the point rather than analogy, turned his suspicious gaze toward the bear doll. Unfortunately, however, the bear doll didn't seem to have the ability to transfer images beyond time...... Atlas did not worry about his sister's expression, but began to report faintly on the current state of the future.
