Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And for another two days or so, time flows--

"... you made it, didn't you?

"At least, all my work entrusted to Waltz is done"

"We have also finished checking the operation of the various institutions ~? As for airtightness, there is no pressure reducing chamber, so I only have visual confirmation ~... well, isn't it ok ~?

--Ship 3 was finally completed.... Apparently.

This is the first time for Waltz to build a spaceship. For that reason, Waltz seemed worried that something might be wrong with his work.

As she stared suspiciously at the checkitem displayed on the bridge monitor on vessel no. 3, entering the fifth perimeter check--,

"You don't have to get so nervous"

I say that while Deprexa smiles.

The opposing waltz did not know why Deprexa could be sure, but turned to her and asked why.

"How can you say that?

"There are two reasons. First, intuition."

"Intuition... there's something uncertain out there again, isn't there?

"Can you say that fulfilling is uncertain? I can assure you that the Guardian, me and you, have worked together to create a partnership that is unlikely to fail."

"Um, I helped too. ~?

"Oh, speaking of which, you were there, too."

And, listening to Deprexa speaking in the right way, Cortex moved Pickle and Frown. She seems to have begun to burn something at this time, inside. Well, I'm not saying anything.

The opposing deprexa is Cortex's unhappy grin (?) I went on with the words, seemingly unaware of them at all.

"And the second reason is experience so far"

"Well... enough to make something as huge as a crestling. So I guess you have more experience with this stuff than I do, huh?

"Right... there were a lot of things going on there, and with thousands of years of time, you could do a lot of things you wanted to try... As far as using that knowledge to think, it doesn't seem like there's a problem with the construction of this ship. I don't think it's a bad idea to get old at a time like this."

That's what I said, a deprexa with a soft grin. Her expression like that, although the original design looked like the second half of the 20-year-old platform, only at this moment she had an atmosphere like an elderly old woman--

"Really? Really? You can't beat the kung fu of the year ~"

—— For the Cortex, who was dissatisfied, it becomes a counterattack story for the outfit.

its disgusting (?) The Deprexa who was listening also seemed to understand if Cortex was going to say...... When she smiled again, with a goddess heavy inclusiveness, she took everything. … note that I say no just in case, but not physical inclusiveness, but of the spirit, is. If he had exercised physical inclusiveness there, he would have been at war with Waltz as well as Cortex.

"Phew... yes, but I'm your grandmother. The only thing I have trouble getting older is getting older counters. Yes... time is just passing..."

That word of Deprexa contained more meaning than words. Being a Guardian, she never gets old in body or spirit... Time passes, leaving her behind. And leaving her behind is the same as being around her again... She must have seen the presence of both appearing and disappearing in the course of time many times before.

Cortex, on the other hand, although it was a homunculus made on Waltz, continued to modify itself every day, becoming a non-exaggerated being to describe it as a Guardian. Therefore she also seemed to understand the meaning of Deprexa's statement as firmly as her own. Especially --,

"... Really?" Mmm.

—— Just because I understand, doesn't necessarily mean the frustration will subside. However, Cortex seems to have decided to settle the spear once and for all whether or not to continue biting Deprexa on this occasion.

By the way, why was she feeling frustrated with Deprexa because Deprexa, as mentioned earlier, treated her as if she didn't exist about Cortex. But that's not because I wanted Deprexa to acknowledge her existence. Cortex felt that Deprexa had denied the fact that he had tried so far to get closer to being a Guardian on his own.

As a Cortex, he thought it would be okay to be recognized as just a MOB (mob) acting with Waltz. But to be ignored is to treat it as MOB or less...... Cortex seemed to wonder if Deprexa's actions were deliberate. It should be noted that the truth is unknown.

On the other hand, because Waltz had nothing to do with such delicate stories...... I move on with the story, not realizing the small differences in my sister's words and behavior.

"Well... so when do we launch? Well, I mean, launch, maybe just fly away normally..."

"If we're in a hurry, why don't we schedule it around tomorrow morning? To the moon, are you going to keep flying?

"If there's no problem, I'm gonna keep going?

"Then you'll need to get ready for food loading, etc., so now that you're ready, your departure should be at night. It's a test flight, and you should avoid leaving at night."

"Right...... Let's do that. And Cortex. Is that all right?

"Yeah, I'm ready too, so it would be helpful if you could leave tomorrow."

"Whoa. See you tomorrow."

Thus, strange obsession (?) whilst leaving, it was meant to be tomorrow that vessel 3 would leave. By then Waltz seems to have decided who will go and who will stay.
