Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Waltz was in a hurry, traveling in a dark space, strangulating at full speed.

Sometimes, of course, it was because my sisters were concerned about the Stranzia they rode, but things were in a situation where the crew was in dispute for a moment without their knowledge.

"(Deprexa, you messed with me at the end of the day... no, I know I'm not my brother-in-law who could complain...)"

Strandia, tens of thousands of kilometers beyond the sight of the poisonous waltz, had bent the orbit under the influence of an explosion in the demonic conductor.

Strandia was originally supposed to do a decelerating swing-by utilizing the gravity of Planet Ania to get into Ania's circumferential orbit. If it had not been affected by the explosion of the demonic conductor furnace, the swing-by would have been decided beautifully and on an elliptical circumferential track.

But now, the track has turned. It was moving in a different direction from its original destination. It is also accelerating due to the effects of an explosion in the rear of the hull.

Strangia like that was headed straight in the direction of Planet Ania. As if I had measured, I drew a beautiful straight line and took a course of falling into Ania. Will it burn out or crash into the surface if it stays like this...... In any case, the catastrophe was certain.

"(You can't make it if you fly normally this... Do you want Lucia to relocate only the people on board?... but even so, at least Lucia herself will remain without being able to transfer, and you can't... Besides, if there were any people or towns in the place where Stranzia fell, it would be a big deal...)"

Waltz disturbed his mind, remembering that even if Lucia could transfer other people's affairs, she could not do so herself. If Lucia can transfer herself, then we can all get out and shoot the anti-extinction missile or something into Strandia, and it should all work out for now. But it's not going to solve the problem in just one step... Waltz seemed in a bad mood as if he was out of reach of the itch.

So now all she could do was catch up and adjust the orbit before Strangea fell. It also allows plenty of room by surface collision to prevent people inside Strandia from undergoing excessive acceleration when adjusting their orbits.

And one more thing. If there's anything Waltz can do --

"Julia? Are you there?

—— was to encourage the people of Strandia to evacuate, who would not have known what was going on.

When Waltz asks, he gets an immediate response from Julia, who is in Stranzia.

'Yeah, I hear you. This evacuation guide is complete. We're all gathered at the bridge.'

'Yes... Actually...'

That's it, Waltz stopped talking. It bothered me if I could explain the situation honestly. If you say something bad, it could lead to useless confusion... I noticed that concern.

But when Waltz got ready, he seemed to decide to tell the story. If we didn't talk, we thought that when something happened - for example, when something unexpected happened - we could cause extra confusion and accidents.

It's about Strangea, isn't it? We're on an unexpected trajectory right now because of the explosion in the Magic Furnace. Well, as long as I leave you where you're headed, huh?

Looks like Waltz was going to wrap it in Oblate and say it, but Julia seemed to understand better.

'Is that what you mean...... ok. So with Lucia's metastatic magic, you should start evacuating, right?

"Yep... that's fast and helpful"

'Cause we've been together a long time.'

That said, Julia, who zeroes her grin on the other side of the radio wave.

Then she questioned Waltz about the doubts she had.

'The problem is with Lucia... and it's about rescuing the remaining members with her...'

"Lucia and... the usual two?

'Yes, I think it will. With me and Master Cortex, I'm going to go down to the ground first and make arrangements to have all of you recovered from Energia. So, what do we do about Lucia and the girls?

'Of course, we'll rescue them somehow? Never... Never?

'... okay. If that's what Master Waltz says, don't worry. I'll take care of the three of you. "

Julia reacts as if she was relieved to hear Waltz's determination and to do as the words say.

Then she, along with Cortex and the rest of the crew, will be sent to the ground first by Lucia's transfer magic. As a result, Lucia and two others - Theresa and Beatrice - were to be left aboard the ship without people.
