Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"No..."

Waltz as usual returns from space. She didn't go into the room where Teresa and the others were, sticking to the entrance door, seemingly pointing her elusive gaze indoors. If I were to analogize —— as if I were to say that someone would be ashamed to see me......

Teresa was the first to notice the return of such a waltz. As soon as she noticed Waltz, who didn't quite come indoors, she called out.

"It's waltz. Good luck with that. Isn't Miss Lucia awake yet?

"... yes..."

Theresa asked in a troubled manner whether she noticed any signs that she was drifting from the waltz to which she replied so briefly.

"... were you so ashamed to be seen (...) of (...)?

Waltz was not much taller than Teresa or Lucia when he rushed to collect supplies. The same goes for being dressed like the perfect space suit, but as for Theresa, it was sometimes the first time she'd seen a tall waltz, and she was impressed. It should be noted that, repeatedly, the waltz is as usual today.

The opposing waltz, although he had expected the question to fly from Teresa, wanted to be ready for his mind, and he didn't seem to be able to answer it right away. As a result, she drops her gaze to the floor without saying anything, just pointing her lips.

That's when.

"... sister?

Consciousness returns to Lucia.

Waltz noticed that, when he raised his face hah, he quickly popped out as if there had been no embarrassment or anything else and rushed over to his sister, who was being held by Teresa.

"Are you okay? Lucia."

"Yeah...... I feel a little tired... but if I slow down a bit, I don't think it's a problem"

"Yes... good..."

"At a time like this, gravity is good. I won't lose my strength, I won't fall, I won't fly..."

"That's because the concubine is holding onto the--"

"Teresa, I won't say anything extra like breaking the air"

".................." muh

And, after shutting Teresa up, Lucia started talking again.

"I was just telling you... I was just hearing you... what's wrong with that look of your sister? Could your sister be even smaller?

In response to that question, Waltz should have been able to respond positively. Despite the restrictions, the figure can be changed in holograms, so it was possible to reduce the height and increase the height.

So Waltz was just supposed to shake his neck vertically in response to Lucia's question--

"... sorry, Lucia"

—— Waltz, who looked contrived, somehow apologized to Lucia.

"What?"

"It's me... Actually, I've been hiding it from Lucia and everyone else."

Shortly after Waltz said so, her figure disappears to mist. And instead, manoeuvre armor appears there... Today, only at this time, the expansion seemed unusual.

The large manoeuvred armor that appeared, when he poked both knees on the spot--,

Gashu......

—— for the first time deformation, along with the operating sound of the actuator that... The portion of the cargo container that was in the abdomen was then opened in a large, upward direction.

On the other side of it, there was a far wider space than the appearance of manoeuvre armor. Inside there are various devices, and most importantly --,

"... here we go, this is the second time... no, maybe the third time?

—— There was a girl sitting in a cockpit.

That's what the Guardian waltz doll looked like. The other Guardians have both "manoeuvred armor" and "dolls" without exception, so that they can hide themselves in out-of-phase space and show any of them, depending on the circumstances.

Waltz, on the other hand, had no place to hide the doll because (...) of the manoeuvring armor had (...) an out-of-phase space. Therefore, the location of her doll is in manoeuvre armor. More specifically, it was the part that hit the cockpit of manoeuvre armor.

Such waltz's manoeuvring armor is undoubtedly her main body, but also the doll's main body. By analogy, one might say that it is in a shadowy relationship with an entity. But because it was so complicated to explain it that it could create misunderstandings, Waltz had never explained to Lucia and the others what she looked like.

And above all, one more thing. She had a reason to hide the figure of the doll.

"This is what it looks like... you feel something inferior... I'm 16 years old and I'm only about the same height as Teresa..."

"Hey?!

"Well, that's a joke, isn't it? The truth is, my sister... I say" twig, "compared to your sister, I'm like a pony, so I want to be at least as big as I look... I've been hiding this for a long time..."

Waltz, descending from his manoeuvring armor with that said, stepped down next to Lucia with regret. Then she turned to Lucia and said:

"This is who I really am. I've been wearing your sister before, but that's not what's in it... well, it looks like it, doesn't it? I'm sorry you're lying..."

And waltz lowering his head.

Lucia, on the other hand, seemed to look up to Waltz for a while. What my sister really looks like for the first time...... It was just as surprising to her as when she first saw manoeuvre armor.
