The trio followed Tonio up the spiral staircase.

"We are now climbing the Tower of Space, which is the tower that symbolizes the Palukian space. Now because it's still up the stairs, we can't see anything that symbolizes space, but if we go a little further up, we'll be in the hall. Because there is one thing that symbolizes this space. ”

"This tower, both towers are well connected."

"Yes, there is a bridge between the two towers, and the halls can go back and forth."

While speaking, the three of them came to the hall of the space tower.

Inside the hall, there is a huge sphere that rotates around a certain orbit.

"It's an object that symbolizes space. According to records, it was created in the image of the power of the Palukiru. “

"Palukiru is the god in charge of space, and this sphere is an image of the 'universe' and 'earth' space we live in."

"Sure enough, I don't think you need my explanation."

"That's amazing, Miss Sirona. You can see what she means at a glance. “

"Because I've seen a lot of things, even if it's outside my area of expertise, but I have some knowledge, so I'm just making a guess by comparing it with the information I got from Mr. Tonio."

It's not that hard if you know in advance what it symbolizes. Shirona specializes in mythology, so she knows more about Pokémon that are considered gods, such as Palukiru and Dialka, than Tonio. If there is a priori information, it is not so difficult for Shirona to predict what the object symbolizes.

"According to mythology, Arceus was born in the void and gave birth to Dialuca, Palochru, and Giratina, and created the world."

"Oh, you also know Giratina, and in the mythology that everyone knows, there is not much mention of Giratina."

"Giratina? Tonio, is there such a Pokémon? “

"Yes. Diala controls time, Palokiru controls space, and the Pokémon Giratina who supports us from the other side of the world. “

"Why is there no such thing as Giratina in the myths known to us ordinary people?"

"According to legend, Giratina was a thug who was exiled to the other side of the world."

Sirona remembers that a few months ago, she had gone to the torn world where Giratina was. Giratina is in a world where time is not flowing normally and space is unstable. Perhaps because it was an emergency at the time, there were no signs of being as noisy as in folklore. I don't know how the battle with Hikari is. At that time, Shirona herself was busy fighting Akagi, and she didn't have time to worry about this.

But when Bai Nai and the others left, they heard a shout. I feel an air of gratitude for this. There is no doubt that he is a violent person, but in Sirona's opinion, he seems to have a strong sense of responsibility.

"So there's such a Pokémon."

"It may not be as famous as Dialuca and Palukiru, but it's definitely the one that sustains the world."

"We live in a world because of them."

"yes, let's go to the Tower of Time next door."

On the way from the Tower of Space to the Tower of Time, there is some kind of large mechanical device, and Bai Nai stops there.

"This machine"

"Ah, that's it. Miss Sirona, did you know that this Spacetime Tower is a musical instrument? “

"Yes. I received a letter from Alice. ”

"Is that so? The Spacetime Tower is the world's largest musical instrument, and this machine is the one that uses the Spacetime Tower as music. ”

Tonio approached the machine and pointed to the center of the machine, where gears and the like could be installed.

"Insert a music board in this place and the tower will be ready to play music."

"It's amazing to be able to control such a large instrument with a keyboard that one hand can hold. It's not just an architect named Gordy who was able to use this technique more than a hundred years ago, but how much thought he put into it. It seems that the tower itself is perfect. ”

"Because of Tonio."

"Haha, I'll be happy if you compliment me like that."

Sirona tilted her head, unable to understand what Tonio meant.

Seeing this, Alice said to Sirona.

"Tonio is a descendant of Gordy."

“？ Is that so?!"

"Okay"

Tonio said with a wry smile.

For this fact, Sirona could not hide her surprise. After all, I had just heard about how many great accomplishments Gordy had accumulated, and I recognized him as a man who had contributed immensely to the development of the city. However, I didn't expect that the young man in front of me would be the descendant of that person.

"You have a very glorious ancestor."

"Yes.

"Listen to your tone, you must have a reason."

"Yes, but the reason is not well documented."

"Tonio has been researching the history of the Tower of Time and the city as a whole to find out."

It was quite a difficult path for Tonio to draw the thoughts of his ancestors from the history of the city.

Since the person himself did not leave any records, it is difficult to know his true intentions. But even so, Sirona respects Tonio's choice of this path to find answers.

"Now let's go to the Tower of Time, and if you have any questions, I'll answer them."

"Yes, please."

In the hall of the Tower of Time, a huge pendulum is swinging regularly.

"It's the Tower of Time, it's a pendulum."

"It's an object that symbolizes the 'loop' of time."

"Since it's time, that's what I imagine Diluka. From the point of view of symbolizing the non-stop flow of time, it is easy to imagine a 'clock' that is directly related to time. You're using a pendulum of a 'pendulum clock'. ”

The three of them sat down on a bench set up in the hall.

Tonio's bag is full of notepads, papers, and other things, and he knows that he is a scholar at first glance.

"Mr. Tonio is also a scholar."

After Shirona said this, Tonio said with a wry smile.

"Scholars are admirable, that's why it's nothing. I just wanted to know what Gordy's passion was that allowed him to create something like this. What was he thinking when he created this tower and this garden? ”

"It's admirable to be able to investigate so much just to know what it's like. As long as you don't give up on this spirit and continue to investigate, you should be able to find your own conclusions one day. “

"It's an honor to hear Miss Sirona say that."

Tonio said, moving his gaze to the swinging pendulum.

"I don't know what Gordy 'saw,' but I'm proud that my ancestors created something like this."

Tonio said with a smile.

"Take care of yourself."

"Let's go next, then. The only place I can properly guide is the Tower of Time, but Alice knows the famous places in other cities. ”

"I'll take care of this matter!"

"Huhu, reliable, please."
