Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Hey, Cortex."

Yeah, that's good ~?

"... I haven't told you anything yet?

I've been listening to you through Macrophage, so I think I know exactly what the hunter wants to say.

"I see... (That's Waltz's sister, what...)"

The hunter's proposition-- and Eve's proposition -- was surprisingly easy to get Cortex's approval. In other words, they stopped cooking in cooking stations in other districts, set up large-scale cooking facilities, and served meals to the whole town from there.

However, it was not meant to close the cooking station itself. Meals collected and prepared at the cooking facility will be taken to the cooking station and distributed to the people lined up there. Because the people of the town are waiting, hoping that food will be served in the cooking place. It would have been obvious if we had shut down the town's cooking house and concentrated it somewhere.

As a result, a large cooking facility was built in the district where Eve and the others were. It's also a light footwork that no one at the head of a country would expect to do, so you can get ready in a very short time.... Far sooner than Eve and the hunters thought, it was only from the cooking of the lunch that it was to be put into operation.

Well then, let's build a building ~? Those in the area should be careful. You don't even know if it's crushed ~?

""... "... what?

Dogagagagagagagaga!

A large amount of iron (...) falls from the top of the area where the hunters and Eve were. The sight plays back as if it were the opposite. It was as if the building that was blown away by the fierce wind and turned into rubble was turned upside down and returned to the splendid building by the rubble that had fallen apart. Well, it didn't seem like we could reverse regenerate to the people who were running away.

Materials such as iron plates seemed to have fallen from the energy gear floating in the sky. And it wasn't Cortex that was at the center of the storm, it was Waltz. She was using a gravity control system to control the building materials, and as soon as she saw them, she assembled the facility.

And a few minutes later.

"Yes, complete"

As Waltz puts it, an off-the-shelf, off-the-shelf cooking facility will be completed in the southwestern part of Vixen. Although the building was a single-story bungalow, it was quite large... The refrigerator and other electrical appliances were still not installed, but sinks, pans, desks and cabinets were installed and almost everything needed for cooking appeared to be ready.

As they watched, everyone exclaimed -

"Watts! Watts!/(adv-to, adv-to) (1) (on-mim) (on-mim) (on-mim) thump/thump/(2) (on-mim) (on-mim) thump/thump/thump/thump

--There was only one person who looked at Watts and spoke brightly, not the building. He is a hunter.

"Long time no see! How are you?

When the hunter asked, Waltz replied with a bitter smile.

"Didn't you see him that much?

"Oh, I don't think we've seen each other in about six months.

"No, that's not true. Well, I may not have seen you for a week, but...."

When the hunter sees waltz, he speaks the word, "It's been a long time," as if it were a habit of mouth. Waltz couldn't seem to smile because the reaction hasn't changed since we met.

The hunter checks on her.

"Can I use this place now?

"Please wait a little longer. Cortex said he was going to use macrophages to fix the appliances and water supply, so we should be all set soon."

"That's Waltz and Cortex. I'm glad you're working so fast. Could you have seen it from the sky?

"Yeah, well. Eve contacted me to make a bakery for udon and bread, and there was surveillance of the rebellious soldiers, so I've been watching.

"That's right... In that case, you could have come and eaten me...."

"I was reluctant because I was looking pretty busy. But I'm going to come and eat when the new facility is finished."

In contrast to the waltz that says so, the hunter, again, is like a habit--

"I see! Well, I'll make waltz's favorite dish and wait!

That's what I said. The hunter's idea of "waltz favorite food" has been misunderstood from the time she met Waltz until now, and the hunter himself is a favorite meat dish.

And as the two exchanges came to a halt, another person appeared to speak to Waltz.

"Um, Mr. Waltz?

It's Eve. She talks to Waltz somewhere reluctantly... In the context of her attitude, there seemed to be a reason for reluctance.
