Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Above the heads of such Atlas, at an altitude of about 300m...

"... what are you doing, alle?

"Come on..."

There were two shadows: the Wyburns, who were landing side by side with five, and three Krakens, who had gone up to land from the moat, and a subtle gaze against the water dragon and the flying dragon and Atlas, who were playing close to them like that.

It is Waltz and Lucia who have come to build new royal castle alternatives.

"Out of the way, but... can we just ignore it and get on with the work?

"Hmm... it would be tough if I crushed it, so I was wondering if that would be awkward?

"But if you wait till you're gone... it's not something you know when you can start working on, is it?

"Well... why don't we just move on with the work from the end so we don't run into everyone?

"... that's a good idea."

"No... I think it's normal..."

Lucia seemed to have accidentally smiled bitterly that all she seemed to have in her sister's head was a tyrannical plan to crush each Atlas and build a new facility with building materials.

"So... what can I do to help?

"Well... We should have roughly all the ingredients, so maybe a little fix, a quick part needed... maybe enough to get a little help then?

"Something, almost, sounds like you don't have anything to do..."

"... maybe you are. I'll ask you then."

"Yeah!"

And, almost as usual, at the end of the conversation between the two... there was no warning to anyone, and it suddenly started.

Waltz floated more than a dozen supermassive steel columns, measuring 1.5km in thickness, from a material storage site located outside the Wang capital to the King's sky under gravitational control.

... Whether from Wang Du or from the outside, the sight had a different atmosphere.

Twelve long, black shadows appeared out of nowhere, and that started drifting over town, so... it's not unusual, something would be wrong.

As a result, the sight seemed to have lost words to the boulders, even the King's people, who were getting used to all sorts of stimuli.

... Well, that, too, seemed to be a limited story to about half the people...

"... ho. Well, I'll go. Okay?

and waltz standing perpendicular to the ground, long columns floating in the universe, in a tone as if wielding a light pencil.

However, in doing so, to avoid the steel column deflecting as if it were a thin wire because it was too long, or to avoid that the speed of the corners would exceed the speed of sound... she seems to have stood carefully and slowly instead of suddenly standing the steel column.

And with the columns completely upright... around the end of the column placement in 6 locations in the outer periphery and 6 locations in the inner periphery, a total of 12 locations...

Dogowong!!

Waltz pierced all of his pillars deep into the earth, avoiding the part where Atlas was.

Specifically... of the space with the old underground large workshop that would be beneath the ground on the Royal Castle site, plus it seems to have penetrated the bedrock beneath it up to about 300 m.

... at that moment,

and atlas of how they finally realized the situation in which they were placed.

Then they disappeared in all directions, like they scattered spider children... well, needless to say.

"Sa, it's that there are no more interruptors, and let's just get to work!

"Sister, you meant to do that from the beginning..."

"... Huh?

"... yeah. Nothing..."

And Lucia, who looks like she has something to say to her sister.

But she seemed to return to observing her sister's behavior when she swallowed it as usual, without saying the words.

"So, what do we do next?

"Right... I hit the pile to level... so I'll build the foundation next time. Even so, I'm not flushing concri..."

Speaking of which, Waltz floated with gravitational control a hexagonal alloy panel the exact same size with one side about 5 m in size and a triangular panel the size of which was further divided into six parts... and placed it on the ground so as to fill it almost without gaps.

See how it goes... Lucia asks.

"Hey, sister. How did you split the parts in detail like that? I think it would have taken less effort to make it at the top..."

"Uh, there's thermal expansion, isn't there? With Lucia's help, there's nothing I can't do to make the whole thing in a single part, but I think when temperatures are different in summer or winter, it gets bigger or smaller, and it deforms. So to absorb that deformation, I divided it into smaller parts and deliberately made it to be as big as a buckwheat, so... I don't think it's going to be a big problem because I think the inside of the Royal Castle is a constant temperature all year round?

"Oh well. So, how come all the workshops in the basement so far were made without gaps in metal chunks?

"Mmm, that's a good question. As a matter of fact, the temperature underground remains almost unchanged all year round. It's not like the sun is shining, is it? Besides, given the rainwater and groundwater influx, it would have been more convenient to seal it the other way around."

"Hmm. But I can see the ground through the gap, so... that feels strange."

"... of course, that's not the end of it, is it?

Waltz then placed a mesh-shaped special material on top of the material placed.

There are also hexagonal holes of about 20 cm on one side, which appear to have small holes in each area.

It seemed like something like a bolt could be used to fix it directly with the steel on the foundation she had installed earlier... but nothing seemed like Waltz would fix it.

"Is that...?

"Could it be a bottom-up material one to improve ventilation under the floor? I really think I should add extra insulation or something, but the detailed work is honestly, it's a pain in the ass... I'll take care of the meals for now, but I'm going to leave the improvement of the indoor environment to those who use the facility. After that, it feels like you should put a plate on it and decorate it."

"Uh, sure, under the floor of the house or something, there was a bit of a bottom up, and I could see the ground directly..."

"Yeah. That's the same thing, right?

And without wall sticking or fine decoration, the waltz proceeded as originally designed with vertical and horizontal columns and other skeletons, as well as the fixing of floor coverings on each floor.

And instantly... from the sky, it looks like the basic assembly of the Royal Castle alternative facility is over, hexagonally shaped.

"... after all, you had nothing to do with me..."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Lucia, we're just getting started, right?

"What..."

"Because... the workshop, our residential facility, the energy hangar... you haven't done anything yet, have you?

Isn't it in that big castle?

"Yeah. You're gonna build it on that?

"What?"

"What?"

Dogowong!!

and with such an exchange... waltz to install a material that looks large and thick and hard, unlike any other material ever installed, on top of the six columns that stood inside the facility.

Apparently that's... the foundation of a new workshop to build...
