Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When Waltz and Cortex are working inside Ship 3 --,

"... waltz. I'm here now."

"Oh, it's not Deprexa. I'm sorry we're so far away, aren't we?

—— As Waltz put it, Deprexa, who was calling to entrust the outfit of Ship 3, came to them. At that time, Deprexa looked at Waltz's face and seemed to be soaring somewhere restless. It should be noted that the reason is unknown.

She said this to Waltz, as she had decided to do.

"This is a test of the operation of the demon conductor --"

"Oh, we're almost done, so all we have to do is check the main equipment on board?

"... it's shaking outside and it's amazing, isn't it?

"".................. eh "

"The vibrations that occur when the Magic Furnace is activated are transmitted outside the ship, shaking the ground."

"Sorry, I didn't realize..."

"I couldn't get a peek out of the ship..."

"Guys, you seem to have been in trouble, right? Looks like our Enders were caught up in a broken birdhouse too..."

"Yes... then I have to go apologize to everyone. Enders, did you look okay?

"Yeah, I got up right away and, um... did you say Catalina? Because she had the magic of recovery."

"Yes...... (which Catalina is it?). But did Enders need treatment? He's a brave guy, he's getting injections of nanomachines, and on the contrary, he shouldn't die easily if he wants to... What, Deprexa? Could it be that you went to Enders'?

Doesn't the fact that Deprexa knows about the Endels boy mean she went to see him in person...... Endels boy to deprexa's survival (?) Waltz, who feared that knowing might change history, seemed to want to check just in case.

But Deprexa didn't seem to have met the Endels boy in person.

"Don't worry. We weren't looking directly at each other, we were just watching quietly from a distance."

"Oh, yeah... that would be good... enough, right? You're supposed to be dead to the future Enders, so it would be helpful if you could be careful not to let them know you're back?

"Yeah, I understand. But it's true that it's a little sad that you're just looking at that kid.... Is it permissible to wear disguises and come close?

"Yeah, well... shouldn't we find out?

"... ok. I'll do it right."

That's what Deprexa said, with a happy look on her face somewhere. Waltz's response was quite appropriate, but still, I'm glad it didn't seem to change.

But it is. At the next moment, Deprexa, unlike her last minute expression, turned into a mysterious face. That looks like you've decided where to prepare yourself...... In fact, she began to bow her head toward the waltz.

"Sorry about the other day"

Apparently, Deprexa had something to apologize for against Waltz.

What her apology is for...... Waltz thinks for a moment --,

"(Uh, an apology for attacking the wrong energy?

—— Seems to have immediately understood the cause, as Deprexa could only think to that extent, such as apologizing for seeming sorry.

On top of that she thought. How can I effectively tell you that this one isn't angry...

Although the energy did get hit, it was not intentional, it was a completely accidental accident, and on top of that, the wounds on the energy had already been repaired beautifully and refreshingly by the automated repair systems of the micromachines. If there's no damage, there's no impact, so naturally there's no need to apologize... That's what Waltz seemed to think. Instead, I even thought it was worse that the energy side tried to sneak up on me.

As a result, Waltz seems to have decided to make a joke to ease the stiff air drifting on the spot. Every time, in a similar development, he felt like he was making a bad joke and making the field air worse the other way around, but all this time he felt good.

"No, it's good. About the delay in coming, right? Don't you care? I'm embarrassed, too, because there's so much to pull."

That's a self-inflicted story. It was meant to be a joke about a man who sacrificed himself. Waltz thinks that the only thing I don't like about getting out in public is that it applies to me... I thought the word from Deprexa would return, 'It's just waltz'.

"Hmm?! [incomprehensible]

"What... (What's that reaction)"

"Why did you do that..."

"What... hey..."

... and the air on the spot that gets harder. Apparently Waltz's unreadability of air does not improve at all, even in past times.
