Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Then waltz that accelerates over about 3 hours and slows down over the same time. By that time, the next snowdome-like moon to descend had spread all over her sight.

Cold snow —— what a waltz should do in a moon closed to dry ice. It is a fine tuning of the orbit and velocity, just like the first moon. If we do not adjust the orbit and velocity of the second moon so that it always comes behind the moon on the front side from the planet Ania, we will be unable to align ourselves with the world of the future. In order to recreate the same view as the future, it was necessary to adjust the moon and moon to line up in a straight line from the planet over at least 1,200 years.

"Are we in orbit around the moon?

Since he was so free, Waltz kept in constant communication with Strandia, who was traveling around the nearby universe. I mean, even at this moment, her voice was reaching Strandia.

As a result, I returned from Strangea--

'... waltz. I'm sorry, I have to tell you something'

--It was the voice of Deprexa in some strange way.

"I see... this is the voice of God..."

'Yes?'

"Yeah. Nothing. So, what?

Because of his spare time, or when Waltz inquired about the joke mix, Deprexa started saying this.

'... Actually, I checked the system earlier and found that there was a glitch in this Strandia demon conductor...'

"Eh..."

"I had to return to Planet Ania quickly."

"Hey... are you okay?

'It's not very fragrant, but I'm responsible for sending you all to Ania'

It was right after Deprexa said so.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

From the other side of the radio wave, I hear something disturbing.

It was a warning sound that Strandia's management system would notify her of the equipment anomaly. Guess from Deprexa's description, apparently something went wrong with the main engine, the Magic Conductor Furnace.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay?!

'Since the alert level is at a stage above the threshold, there is still room. Waltz, just in case, can you hurry up and fix the moon track fix and come back?

"... Hurry up and fix it and tell me to come and help?

'Just in case. Worst of all, as I said earlier, I am responsible for sending you to Ania'

Leaving those words behind, Deprexa walked away from the Stranzia bridge.

"Wait a minute..."

Waltz, who said so, could not hasten or delay the plan. The time had been fixed to modify the moon's orbit, because it would have made no sense if the moon had not been moved with the right thrust within a certain period of time.

"Hurry up..."

You can't...... In such a hurry that the words could not even be spoken, Waltz sought the best he could.

In the first place, Strandia is not equipped with a noble device such as an escape device. Because it's not like we can go back to planet Ania when we get to the moon orbit and we escape.

Originally, Waltz thought that even if Stranzia were in an uncontrollable situation, she could do something about it if she was there. If you were acting together, you wouldn't be the first to put people on Strandia at risk...

But now Waltz is in the middle of traveling through space alone, not on Stranzia. In this state of affairs, there was nothing she could do to the crew.

If I insist, it's about finishing the moon's orbit adjustment as planned and flying towards Strandia with maximum output. In the meantime, roughly --,

"... Strangea's moving too, so it's gonna take me half a day to catch up..."

—— about 12 hours, as Waltz put it. In the meantime, Strandia had to drift through space with a glitch in the demonic conductor furnace. By the way, even if you cancel the mission on the way, that time doesn't change dramatically.

It is unclear at this time what the situation is with the Magic Conductor Furnace. Is it going to explode, or is it just the output dropping...... By now, Deprexa should be investigating, but Waltz, who was away from Stranzia, had no idea what the situation was and just didn't seem to be worried.

As a result, she spoke to a certain person who would be on the other side of the radio wave.

"... Cortex. Are you there?"

Then the reply returns, as if he had been waiting.

"Yeah, I'm here. ~? When something happens, I just need to protect you all ~?

"Should I?

'Size wise, if you use Macrophage No. 1, you'll probably figure it out'

"Macrophage One is the one I've been collecting from the heavenly side of the world tree... the other one, isn't it?

"Yeah, it's macrophage number one for those who brought it from the future world. But ~ … how far we can go and how long we will keep it is unknown at present. Please come back soon so that something can happen '

"... ok. I'll be back as soon as I can, so when the worst happens, please tell me about everyone, okay?

'I did ~. Please don't push your sister either ~? If you do poorly, and the stars perish, there will be no ex or child ~'

and as always, Cortex responding in some prolonged way of speaking.

Waltz then began to optimize his work so that he could return to Strandia in the shortest possible time.
