Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Android or homunculus? What is it..."

"Android is a man-made machine. So, homunculus is an artificial human being. If there's a difference... is it alive or not?

Waltz explained to Lucia tilting her neck. For Lucia, both Android and Homunculus were the first words she heard.

Catalina, on the other hand, blues her expression in Waltz's remarks.

"A homunculus... you mean an extremely evil, outrageous artificial life form made at the expense of so many humans, right?

"Oh, you're so evil and outrageous..."

Apparently, making homunculus is repelled in this world.

"Uh, Catalina. You don't have to worry so much, do you? Maybe I'll think about doing something mass killing, but I don't do anything crazy until I sacrifice people. The Android I'm thinking of is infinitely close to the structure of a person... well, it's like a doll."

"Dolls......?

"Oh, doll. Body skeletons, muscles, brains, they're meant to be made of machinery, so they work unlike dolls, though. If Catalina's going to cooperate, she's going to be able to make some of them into living parts and make them so clean that they can't tell people apart?

"I can't imagine..."

"I guess so. But it's not that complicated? I made the difficult and important part and felt like I could use some or two help. If it works, Lucia can learn from me about science —— not magic, and Catalina can learn about how people structure and work, too? (Plus, it's good for me because I have to build a production facility for semiconductor parts... three birds a stone)"

And waltz giggling in the back of his brain without thinking deeply. It may be worth mentioning, but this will also attract a hell of a lot of trouble.

"But it's not that easy. I think we need to work hard on that, don't we? Still want to make it? You can still say no now, can't you?

Waltz gave his last confirmation with a grin.

The two responses to that are --,

"Yeah! I feel like I can do anything with your sister!

"Yes, if you have a life you can save."

—— Literally instant answer.It didn't look like he bothered the two of us at all.

"Whoa. Well, here we go."

Thus, the future policy of the Waltz Party was decided.... Yes, they were supposed to make Android--though homunculus.

... it was supposed to be.

"Well, let's start with where we're going to build the workshop. I wanted it, the workshop."

"What... build a workshop?

"Can't you do it here?

What the hell do you suddenly say when you say you have a house you are living in right now...... Both Lucia and Catalina had questions on their faces. While I said I would build Homunculus, the next word was to build a workshop, so we both seemed to get confused without understanding the explanation.

"Yeah, you can't. Sometimes the place is small, but I don't want to divulge information other than the two of us, and most importantly... I don't think I can do the detailed work here because it's dusty and dirty."

"Dirty... I wonder? I cleaned the wipe, so I don't think it's that dirty... (Could it be, sister, that tight?

"... you have an idea?

Waltz lifts his mouth small before the fox daughters leaning down on each of them...... Gravity control was used to distort the space in front of him.

That's a gravity lens. The current situation, where transparent glass balls were not readily available, did not immediately create magnifying glasses, so she created an ultra-gravity field that could replace magnifying glasses.

There are a total of five lenses she created. That lens, palm-sized, sways loosely in the air while overlapping the axial lines...... It will be stopped shortly.

"Don't touch this, okay? Because it's so dangerous."

Gravity lenses were made by multiplying the space with supergravity enough to bend the light. To this end, if you touch it at all, you will be drawn from body to body and crushed by unseen forces. Especially since a repulsion field was stretched on the surface of the lens by waltz considering the worst, it should not be easy to touch even if you try to touch it.

"Um... what is this?

"Something seems to be floating..."

"This is a microscope, isn't it? A tool for observing something so small that it's invisible. Do you want to go through the details? Bye, from Catalina for now. Could you stand here and take a peek across this lens? Look, from here on out, like this."

"This is a lens... It's not glass, it's not crystal... I wonder what it is."

"Well, would it help if you thought it was magic like that?... Well, Catalina. Ready to see the truth of the world? Do you pray to God? rattling around in the corner of the room...... well, that goes"

"Uh... do you see that big thing?

Catalina with a strange look, either because Waltz's rhetoric was too suspicious.

The opposing waltz mouths a far-reaching statement while pointing some distant gaze out the window.

"Right...... There are so many things in the world that I would have been happy if I hadn't known. Uh, that's it. That. When you look at the abyss, you look at the abyss."

"Ha..."

"Didn't you get through... Well, that's good. Come on, Catalina? Take a peek?

…………

Catalina prayed like a former monk, as Waltz told her. It should be noted that the reason why the subject you were praying for was waltz is unknown.

"(After all, this looks like you should think about a reorganization plan. We need to do something soon...)"

Waltz took the sheets he had brought from his bedroom beforehand after sighing inside. By the way, not who I and Lucia slept with, but who Catalina slept with.

In the meantime, Catalina seemed to be peering into a space with nothing over the lens, as Waltz told her. Question marks were floating on her expression, probably because she saw nothing but a distorted view.

After I narrowed my eyes to the way it looked --,

"Then we're going, right?

—— Waltz put the sheets of the bed Catalina was using under the lens to focus.

"Oh, it was coming, wasn't it?... Heh... Isn't that amazing? I see a lot like yarn. This is the cloth..."

"Yeah, right? By the way, magic as you are doing now (?) So you don't have to distort the space to make a lens, you can do the same with a lens made of glass, right?

and waltz explains the microscope...... Was Lucia, who had grown up so far, also inspired by Catalina's words--,

"Hey, sister? I want to peek too."

—— Start to say.

"You know what? Lucia, I think I'm going to have to feel really bad right now. So, can you get your mind ready right now? You'll soon find out why? Because Catalina should be showing you some good reactions from now on."

"What?"

Where Lucia gave me a strange look...... Finally, the time has come for Catalina to peek into the abyss. At this time, the magnification of the microscope is about magnifying glass. Not that expensive.

Waltz masterfully manipulated the lens, increasing the magnification of the microscope, while simultaneously adjusting the focus. As a result, the appearance of the previously invisible (...) chi (...) is gradually visible.

"Heh... the yarn itself is made of fine yarn... heh! Hey, hey, what is this creature?! Bugs don't?

She finally saw something she shouldn't have seen, and Catalina reversed her whole body hair.

At the end of her gaze were creatures like eight-legged bugs. That seemed to be the crevice between the sheets' fibers. Not even a few of them.

"This is Dani. He's called Yedani (well, I don't know the name of a dandelion in this world...)"

"Dani...... Me... were you sleeping with these bugs? ♪ Slow down ♪

"Well, yeah. If we keep the sun dry regularly, we'll be gone, won't we?... I'm sure."

After you mouth a statement that won't boil off. Waltz shifted his perspective to the next target.

"So, Lucia? Are you ready for this? You said you wanted to see it earlier... you said that, right?

"... do I have to look?

"No? Of course, I wouldn't say I can't, would I?

"... ok. View"

"Bye, yes"

That's what Waltz said to Lucia. Gravity microscopy (?) peeked in.

"... Wow"

Within the first, Lucia raised an exclamation, either because it was a magnification of about magnifying glass or, as with Catalina earlier.

But that's the story so far, too. The magnification of the gravity microscope gradually increases.

………… ………… ♪ Biku ♪

Lucia's tail swells to the bread as bamboo shoots. Apparently, she, too, saw something she shouldn't have seen.

As a result, Waltz began to explain satisfactorily before the fox daughters, who were all in line and with a gestured look on their face.

"You both get it? There are so many tiny creatures, dust and dust in this world that you can't see. Because there are more little creatures like that just now than there are demons and humans around. Now I've enlarged the sheets, but the desks and chairs around there, they're invisible, but they must have a lot of dust on them, too, right?

And, Waltz explains what an invisible world looks like without saying it has dandelions on it.

Then she gets some kind of hazy look... In the next moment he smiles niggardly and suspiciously and mouths like this towards Catalina.

"Hey, Catalina? Is a creature called a human being one life form?

"Uh... I can't grasp Mr. Waltz's intent on asking the question, but saying it that way... I mean people... no way..."

"Did you notice? Well, you know what? You're gonna get a little blood, aren't you?

When Waltz says so, he takes Catalina's hand and sticks out something petite and small like a needle. Then, from Catalina's fingers, little blood seeped out.

"Huh!"

"I'm sorry. Did it hurt?"

"Yes, no, I'm just surprised. Uh... Could you possibly observe the blood?

"Right? Oh, but don't you think it's disgusting, or something? Creatures are all made the same way."

That said Waltz, at the tip of Catalina's finger, refocused the gravitational microscope. Catalina peeks inside of it.

"... what is it? This grain......"

As it expands, blood that should be red changes transparently...... The appearance of the red particles floating in it is reflected in Catalina's eyes.

"That's red blood cells. There are many other kinds of grains, like platelets, leukocytes, macrophages, that make up blood? And every grain of it is alive. In other words, human beings are a collection of life. I don't know if you're in this world, but I hope you can think of a huge collection of tiny slimes in the shape of people?

"Slime? Is it a demonic slime?

"(Oh, you're here...) Right? So, getting sick means little bacteria and viruses from outside your body... well, little demons get into your body, right? My body fights foreign bodies coming in from the outside, so I have fever, coughs, symptoms."

"... well understood. I don't know... In the last few minutes, I feel like the world I see has changed"

"Yeah. That's good, huh? That's why most of the creatures in this world are made of this small collection of cells. Humans, demons, insects, plants..."

"What? Plants, too?

You thought only animals were a collection of cells, and Catalina opens her eyes when she hears that plants are the same. He didn't think that plants that barely moved were also made of small collections of life.

Waltz unwittingly laughs at Catalina's reaction like that.

"Next time, I'll make a microscope so you can always observe? Why don't you take a peek at a lot of things? You'll learn too...... Lucia, too?

"Uh... thank you"

"Ugh, yeah... thanks... (I wonder if you see a bug like you just did...)"

"We both apprenticed, and nothing like that? Oh, but you can never peek at anything bright, can you? When you point the lens at the sun or something bright --"

Ju......

"-- because this is what happens"

When Waltz used the gravitational lens to collect sunlight, the surface of the desk on the spot burned. Because I first saw the phenomenon, or what I say after I saw the dandelion, the glow returns to Lucia's eyes with a fragrant expression.

"Magic now?

"It's not magic... I say science, but in this world it's supposed to be alchemy, right? Anyway, it's dangerous like this, so don't take a peek at the sun by mistake, okay?

"Okay. I'll be careful."

"Yeah. I'll be careful too"

"Please.... so I'm done explaining using the microscope? Like this, the world has invisible dust and small organisms, so we have to build a proper workshop to do the work. Because what we're about to do is so advanced and delicate that such a small being might get in the way and fail"

That's what Waltz said and closed the explanation. Lucia and Catalina, who were listening to her words like that, apparently noticed the weight of Waltz's words and seemed to snort with a serious look on their face.

Thus began the production of the workshop for three people.
