Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And Waltz, for the first time in days, decided to contact Deprexa. Yes, it's already been four days since I went to Crestling the other day to pick up the main engine, the Magic Furnace.

"I haven't heard from the Deprexa side in the last four days, but I wonder what they're doing in Crestling?

Waltz, standing in front of a communications aircraft on the bridge of Energia, puts such doubts into question. Even waltz with difficulty communicating just seemed odd not to get in touch at all.

It was the Yulia and Dalia Sacubas group that answered her questions like that. Thirty percent of their work was in the management of personnel, so the console-lined bridge was like their office. As the Julians were working on the bridge, Waltz came and began to disrupt their work (?), so. Well, they —— especially as Julia -- seem to always want to act with Waltz, so maybe it can't be called obstruction.

"Come on? I don't know... I told Sebastian before when I went to Crestling... Master Deprexa said I was in a bad mood here recently"

"I'm in a bad mood... did we do something wrong?

…………

"Oh yeah... rest assured I only remember myself? Well, I don't know if saying" reassurance "is an expression... because I'm going to know what's going on..."

With that said, waltz connecting the lines of communication to the crestling with a look that seems complicated. It is unclear whether such a statement of hers is correct or not, but at least it seems certain that at this moment I was caught in the act of opening a line of communication to Crestling.

And Waltz tries to push the communication button to connect the line...

Pi......

"Yes, it's Deprexa."

The moment she presses the button, the deprexa answers the call. Yes, it is a moment. There was hardly anything that could be described as a delay.

"Eh... early..."

Waltz pulled just a little. It was too early for Deprexa to respond to communications. Press the switch, then the line opens, the ringtone rings, and the delay time until the deprexer responds, all inclusive, is approximately 1 millisecond. Since the delay in data flowing through the communication circuit, the time taken to encode and multiply the data, the time to transmit it as a radio wave, and the time to which the console responds totals about 1 millisecond, the time for substantial console operation should be so short that it is difficult to measure it. If a human has done the same thing, it is surely impossible because some nerves, muscle reactions, etc.

Of course, if it's a mechanical deprexer, there's nothing you shouldn't try to do. To do this, however, if you stick in front of the console, keep monitoring the processing system of the communication moving, and press the button in anticipation of when the button for the conversation will be activated, you should be able to achieve a response speed of zero delay like this one. It is worth mentioning that there is nothing to gain from doing that.

Waltz thinks about that possibility...... And frankly, I asked Deprexa.

"Deprexa, were you expecting a comm from me?

…………

…………

…………

"Is that it? That's crazy, right? Did you lose the line?

Butch......

Waltz disconnects communication with unresponsive deprexers without checking. There was no hesitation in her behavior, not because Deprexa was originally a guardian on the hostile side... Because I felt something like a cold that I didn't know how to handle, it seemed.

◇

Communication from the deprexer enters shortly thereafter.

'... waltz. Isn't it terrible to suddenly cut the line?

"Sorry, sorry. Something went wrong with the colors (...) and (...), so I cut them. Look, how's the line going? (How's Deprexa doing?) This way, I didn't hear Deprexa. I was going to ask you how you could have responded in such a short time..."

'What, it's a coincidence. If I was cleaning the console by chance, Waltz contacted me and I just received the conversation as it turned out'

"Hmmm......"

…………

"Well, fine"

"Here..."

"So, I had something I wanted to ask Deprexa, could I?

"Yeah, if that's Waltz's wish"

"... if my wish is good?

'Eh... ah, no... it's my usual habit. When I was a goddess for a long time, I sometimes made statements like that, and it was a habit. It doesn't make any deep sense. I really don't get any more reasons, so I can't help but doubt it, can I?

"No, I don't doubt it..."

Do I need to go out of my way to say "don't doubt"...... Though Waltz was feeling no small discomfort in Deprexa's words and behavior, you thought digging into it would produce a mine...... Waltz seems to have decided to stop doubting, as Deprexa said.

Waltz then cut Deprexa out about the outfit on the third ship.
