Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Eve, who had a blurry view of Waltz's hand stroking his own head, mouths a question like this against Waltz as to whether he had come up with anything.

"Hey, Master Waltz?

"Hmm?"

"What's an adult... what is it?

"... philosophy..."

Upon hearing Eve's straightforward inquiry, Waltz had trouble responding unexpectedly.... What is an adult? Future Forever, from what it looks like today, for Waltz, who neither grows nor ages, the question is with an unbridled question…. It was a question I had never thought about before.

But when it comes to being completely marginal, it's not like that. Even if Waltz's body is a machine, its mind is exactly the same as a human. One day, if you ever question the existence of yourself, who is neither an adult nor a child, perhaps she will have the same doubts as Eve does now.

They just weren't "then" now. In response to a question asked by Eve, who is only about half his age, the words Waltz answered were --,

"Well, aren't adults and children, when you're no longer concerned, when you're an adult?

—— Seen from where I stand now, it was the difference between Eve and myself. Eve wondered what adults were, and she didn't care about adults or anything, she said the difference.

"Look, I don't give a shit about that area."

"So Master Waltz might be an adult?

"... that rhetoric bothers me a bit..."

I feel like Eve is saying that she is not an adult, waltz frowning.

Eve, on the other hand, immediately guessed what Waltz thought and corrected it like he was in a hurry.

"Beh, nothing, I didn't mean to say it like that, I don't know... maybe it's a pure question?!

"Yeah, you know what?

"Wow, I know, but could you have been angry?

"I'm not angry... but could it be a counter-attack to being asked a hard question to answer?

"Hmm!

Eve got angry. He said he was seriously worried, but Waltz said he was messing with him.

You perceived Eve's wrath like that, Waltz put his hands on Eve's head, Pong... As a result, he asked this question without paying any particular attention to the dog or daughter, who looked unnecessarily on fire.

"By the way, lady, do you have a dream or something?

"also g...... yeah? Dreams?"

"Oh, dreams. I don't know what you want to do - or how you want to be - or..."

To Waltz's inquiry, Eve answers instantly without getting lost.

"And - you might want to be a scholar like you!

"I see. Well, if that's what you want, you're free..."

"Is something wrong?

"No? I think it's a fine dream, huh? What are you going to be, by the way, a scholar researching?

"Hmm... Eve, you might like animals, so you might want to be a scholar researching animals!

"That's... (not a similar path to Catalina...)"

Waltz accidentally thought into Eve's statement that he wanted to do something similar to Catalina. Knowing Eve hated Catalina seemed to be one of the causes.

Nevertheless, Eve and Catalina did not mean that they were pointing in the exact same direction. Catalina is still helping people with that urge, while Eve doesn't want to be a doctor, because she wants to study animals until she gets tired of it.

Her dreams like that were probably caused not only by the influence of her parents, but also by her friendship. Fei Long or Van, or Pixie or Cheval etc...... Because she has a never-small connection to those who are not people.

"" What's that "... what?

"... after all, do you do autopsies or something?

"I might not!" Pussy

"I guess..."

At least Eve at this stage is not greedy for the unknown, like Catalina, who is sticking one foot in a Mad Scientist, but just seems to want to do some blurry research on animals.

After such an exchange with Waltz. Eve looked unconvinced and decided to leave the scene.

and just before that.

"Oh, yeah, Eve"

She will be asked to do this by Waltz.

"Maybe the hunter's awake too, so why don't you and the hunter go upstairs to the woods and bring us Alfania?

"Alfania...... who?

"Elf's chief. She's thousands of years old, isn't she?

"Maybe it's okay to bring you about your grandmother like that?

"Yeah, it looks a little bit better than yours, 'cause I'm not aging"

"... maybe I don't understand..."

"Well, because it's an elf"

Eve left the scene with a look that still seemed unconvincing... Then he returned to the energy to find the hunter. Note that neither she nor the hunter know the face of Alfania...... Eve never seemed to realize that at this point.
