Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Shortly after Lucia flushed a massive amount of magic into Strandia just to burn down Enchant's demon conductor circuit. Countless red lines run bishly on the surface of the hull that should be black.

Waltz, who confirmed the condition in the high-speed thinking space, began to hang the brakes all at once, hanging the mighty acceleration onto the hull, as he had previously stated.

"10G...... 20G...... 40G...... I can still go!

The brakes that were hanging on the strangers jump exponentially. All we have to do is believe Lucia and the Enchant we hung... Without thinking about the details, Waltz suddenly hung the brakes, taking care not to break the strangers.

"100G… 200G… 400G…"

When the acceleration went into three digits, it was no longer a substitute for "braking feeling" or something like that. It's like beating an entire ship with a giant hammer, if you will. It was also like hitting him continuously, not just once, but with hundreds or thousands of hammers. By other analogies —— would it convey a condition that is more than ten times heavier than the gravity felt on the surface of the sun?

"Teresa? How's it going? How's it going over there?

0.1 seconds after starting to slow down enough to have "super" on it. Waltz inquired toward Teresa, who was on board.

Then, as usual, there is nothing to say, and so on, Teresa returns a response.

"So far, there's nothing particularly wrong with that. That's Miss Lucia's gravity-controlled magic. I don't feel any acceleration at all. Is it because the concubines weigh 0?

'Well, if you weigh 0, no matter how much acceleration you multiply, you get 0 shocks, right? E = 1/2 ma ^ 2 but......'

"Well. Do... how long are you going to hang the brakes?

"Where can I hang you?" Worst case scenario, I'm going to hang the brakes too long and keep going until they accelerate in the opposite direction? For this minute... right. About 0.1 seconds?

"Surprisingly short or long... I don't know..."

'Right...... If anything goes wrong with the hull, tell me right away, okay?

"Uh-huh. You know what I mean."

After such an exchange with Teresa, Waltz hung the brakes even more.

And then it arrived at 1000G and the light passing through the perimeter became distorted, and the entire hull of Strandia shrunk down and looked as if it had peered through the glass of a concave lens —— that's when. A sudden change occurs in the appearance of the red line that was running on the surface of the hull of Strandia. The red colour gradually grew white and began to glow.

It's the earliest glow emitted by Enchant's circuitry. Stranzia's hull gleams like an electric ornament floating in a dark space.

The brilliance was gradually lost from the aft. Finally, the circuit burned and the hull began to turn into just an alloy.

Waltz stopped hanging his brakes when Stranzia's brilliance peaked. Because if the brakes continued to hang, it was clear that the hull would not withstand supergravity and would collapse from the aft.

One more thing. There's a reason she stopped the brake.

'... whoa. Orbital modification successful...'

There's no need to hang the brakes any longer.

As a result, she calls on those on board to communicate the success of the operation…. The first person she called upon was Theresa —— not Lucia. Well, naturally.

"Lucia? Can you hear me?

A voice returns from Lucia when Waltz calls on his sister, arguably the greatest meritor of this time...... Her voice, somehow, seemed to have subsided.

'... yeah... I hear you...'

'Er... is something wrong? I can't feel my voice...'

'... there's no more magic in the ship...'

Apparently Lucia was the first to guess that her magic was no longer accepted by the hull, and she thought the brakes had failed because of it.

To such a sister, Waltz said this with a bitter smile.

"Are you all right? The brake itself was a good success, huh?

'What...? Really?'

"Yeah, is that true? So, no more Strangea crashes, huh?

'Oh, yes, what... good...'

That's how Lucia looked down her chest on the other side of the radio. Others, as well as Waltz, as well as Theresa and Beatrice, seemed to be at ease with Lucia.

However, the mission didn't seem to end in a large circle. It was Teresa who was with Lucia who noticed the anomaly as soon as possible.

"... Miss Lucia?

…………

"Miss Lucia?! Hold on tight!

It's like Lucia just says she's unconscious, Theresa calling her voice.

Although I didn't know what happened to Waltz because it was what happened on the other side of the radio...... Apparently something has gone wrong with Lucia.
