Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Lucia was asleep as if exhausted after being forced to release her magic by Teresa. Other Beatrices, who had been under nanomachine attack from within, also seemed to sleep steadily, whether Catalina's treatment had worked.

But the fight wasn't over. Waltz and the Great Sage were still fighting.

"Come on, give it up! I've never seen a bad forebearer like you!

'No! I am no longer a human being!

"Yes, sir. That's good, so just go home..."

Waltz, who was battling the invisible Great Sage in the town square, had no skill at present to exchange. If you don't care about the life or death of the great sage hiding in the out-of-phase space, you had as much means to deal with it as you could, but he was also a person who lived in the past, so he couldn't have killed it inadvertently.

Because of this, no abusive methods are picked...... Waltz seemed to wonder how to deal with the Great Sage.

"(I'd like to lock him in the narrow space of the dimension, but he won't be stylish... I don't know what's going on...)"

"You know what you're thinking, so you can take it?

"Uhh!

'Pfft... hands and feet out!

Waltz, hearing the words of the great sage, stopped and tilted his neck... I turned to the Great Sage and threw these questions at him.

"By the way... why are you attacking me all the time?

"... why? Stop laughing! Isn't it decided because you're a demon!

"No... if you're serious about me, it wouldn't be more effective to take someone hostage or something (well, I don't think you can take a member here hostage...)"

"That's not my way."

"You're surprisingly serious?

"And the Lord has offered me to deal only with demons."

"... hmm. Well, let it go."

"... now what?

A great sage who looked taken aback because of a sudden change of direction by Waltz. Ahead of his gaze like that (?) It seems that Waltz, who was there, went toward the Lucians completely untouched the fighting posture.

Towards the back of it ——

"Don't lick it!

Dogowo!!

--The Great Sage unleashes fire magic... His magic, when it hits a waltz of holographic appearance ——

Buffoo!

—— Just making such a light noise, it disappeared without harming her.

Because for Waltz, the magic of the Great Sage was not enough to have to be avoided, and, as she put it, it was not particularly problematic where she left it. I've been fighting so far because his spearhead is shielded from the Lucians... Now that the Great Sage has made it clear that Waltz is the only one to go after, the need for her to work with the Great Sage has been lost.

"Deprexa, could you pick me up..."

Waltz looked up at the dark sky and sighed. I couldn't go home to energy with the Great Sage like this, so all this time, his guardian (?) seems to have seriously wondered if you would come and pick me up.

And that's when. Is it because you said "the name," or were you looking at it from the beginning ——

Bun......

"... We're sorry for the inconvenience"

—— really his guardian (?) appears.

"Wow... I'm really here..."

"I just called you, didn't I?

"That's what I called you, but I was surprised you didn't really think you were coming..."

"There was such a big incident that it broke the continent. Isn't it natural to come?"

"Yes...... It was Lucia who broke the world after all..."

Waltz, who had not grasped the circumstances because he had previously concentrated on the battle, seemed to have guessed everything when he heard that word of the goddess Deprexa. They could imagine how the [Great River] was made that wasn't in this era, even without looking directly at the cracked ground.

"Who is she?

"You mean Lucia? He's just a brave candidate..."

"... are you making fun of me?

"No, no, it's true, isn't it? Well, maybe I'm just saying it on my own in my country..."

And, not to say which country, Waltz explains the situation.

Then she told the story away.

"Speaking of which, you're not harming us today? You used to vent hostility, didn't you?

"... since I was hacked by some demon god, as if I had been paralyzed, I couldn't remember the hostility. I'm not a person, but when I have a stroke, I may be in this condition."

"That's a terrible analogy... Well, can you do me a favor... and bring home the great sage (grandpa) from your place who's hiding around here? Well, now that I'm young, I might be" uncle "..."

Deprexa, who heard that, did not snort, did not affirm...... I just said this, not pointing it anywhere.

"... wise man. This person is not a demon as you think he is. Come on, we're leaving, right?

Then the wise man shows himself on the spot... And protest against Deprexa.

"No! Goddess! This person is indisputably in the demon god! That is what the Lord has said!

"... wise man. Who are you calling the Lord?

Originally, the Lord of the Great Sage was supposed to be the Goddess Deprexa. It is the nanomachines of Deprexa that have tailored him to a pseudo-god, whose nanomachines are empowering the Great Sages with their faith in Deprexa as collateral.

So much so that he rewrote about it, that the spiritual magic by his tentative early Lord, Alto, seemed to have had a solid effect. Her magic didn't work on Lucia for another reason.

Then the great sage, with a bitter look on his face just saying he wasn't going to talk ——

Bun......

—— disappeared again from the spot. They escaped into out-of-phase space. It seemed like an attitude of disobedience to Deprexa who said 'go home'.

And he answered the questioning of Deprexa (the former Lord), distancing himself somewhere. That's too unexpected an answer for the Waltz.

"My Lord's Name Is ------"

... Waltz, who heard that, worried about killing the Great Sage for real. Catalina, who was listening, accidentally starts to indulge in killing. Cortex also seemed to be pointing a sharp gaze around him that was different from his usual soft expression.

It's just...

Only Theresa......

Only she gets into the spot with a flashy look on her face. If you like, it's as if you'll regret it......

"--Altair. It is the new name of my Lord Alto, who brings a glorious future"

The name of the Lord the Great Sage speaks of. It was the name of the demon king who had struck the waltzes more than once in the future world.
