<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode IX Marie Adler

□ Wangdu Althea Popular Dining Room [Holy Knight] Ray Sterling

Me and Luke are done talking to each other about what's going on.

About Despena to PK, dived in and met Mr. Figaro. I thought it was a rare experience, but Luke was pretty good too.

Does this happen to be a rare experience for me and Luke, or is the odds of encountering rarities in < Infinite Dendrogram > something like this by default?

"Mr. Ray, by the way"

"Hmm? What's up?

"I was just wondering about the PK story."

... Uh, maybe that's the same part I was thinking about.

"Mr. Ray met Mr. Figaro, he said he was going to do something about the" south ”PK, right?

"Yeah, we were talking about doing something about the hunting grounds in the south, which is definitely a duel city passage"

"But now PK's stopped at all hunting grounds, right?

Yeah. I was wondering that, too, just before I met Luke again.

If you're Mr. Figaro, the top ranker in the kingdom, it's not too surprising to make him stop PK in the hunting grounds.

That's because collectively Despena would make the PK there inactive for at least three days.

But Mr. Figaro only mentioned the southern < Sauda Mountain Road >.

So it was strange that the PK at the other hunting grounds stopped as well as in the south.

"There are three possible cases"

"Saying."

"One, Mr. Figaro finally managed to do something about the other three places"

But I probably don't have this.

He will apologize and solve the problem of hunting grounds in the south to repair the transportation network to his base, the dueling city.

But that guy doesn't have a reason to solve it all the way to the other hunting grounds.

"Two, I found out the PK problem was cleared up in the south hunting grounds, so the other three pulled their hands"

This too, I wonder.

I thought I couldn't move PK for three days just now if I put it together and despena it.

However, this incident is a planned terrorist attack, apparently aimed at stopping players affiliated with the Kingdom of Alter from gaining strength.

It is also clear from that move to hold back the kingdom's east, west and north, that it is moving with one will.

Then I won't stop because one place is wasted.

If anything else is safe when the south is wasted, replenishment is likely to come south from other areas on the contrary.

…………

No, maybe Mr. Figaro's response measures weren't as small as I thought they were, but bigger things... maybe they were negotiations with the PK faction, for example.

Then there is no wonder that all four sides are cleared up.

But what do you think?

Mr. Figaro is a good man, but... would he work that way?

For a short time, but somehow I feel different from the impression I received from Mr. Figaro.

I'm the first person to kill an unidentified person.

The roots are brain muscles...... they seem like a lot of mess.

"Um, Mr. Ray. What's the last three?

Whoa, I thought about it by myself.

I'm the third... to say the answer to the erasure method.

"Third,“ the place outside the south was cleaned up at the hands of another person at the same time. "

If Mr. Figaro didn't do it all and his opponent didn't pull it off...... someone else did the same thing with Mr. Figaro on another side of the hunting ground.

Whatever they were doing was PK.

There will be a lot of annoying people.

In that, I wonder if a human being who could actually eliminate PK moved as well as Mr. Figaro did time.

Meaningful coincidence... I assumed the erasure method would have happened to a guy called Synchronicity.

Yes, you're right.

!?

It was abrupt.

Soon there was a strange woman sitting at the table in the seat between me and Luke. The Lord of abrupt voices is the woman.

You're sitting next to me, but you didn't notice at all until you could call me.

To say so, the woman has a strangely distinctive appearance as to why she didn't notice.

Dark hair to the point of hanging on my neck, about my age, but this is normal.

The problem is the outfit.

She was dressed oddly.

When I say that, I get feelings with Mr. Figaro, but the vector is the opposite.

That guy was a fantasy, but not uniform costume.

On the contrary, she is dressed in a uniform manner.

But that didn't look fantastic, it was a business suit for men.

Besides, I wear sunglasses on my face.

This is not a fantastic world view, and a corporate office would not have been uncomfortable.

If you insist, are the only sunglasses on your face uncomfortable?

But you also have suits and sunglasses, this world.

... the discomfort is awesome and the suspicion is pushing its limits.

"Um, you?

Luke talks to a woman while I watch her.

"Oh, excuse me. I stuck my neck in because we were talking about something that looked interesting. This is what I am."

The woman, who is a woman but uses the single name "I", showed a simple status window with her name and job etc instead of a business card......

Name: [Marie Adler]

Job: [Reporter (Journalist)] (Affiliated Publisher:)

[Woman] I'm not surprised that there was such a job, but [reporter] is there one? That's a wide range of jobs.

"What?

"It's short for Dendrogram Information Network. Bun shop if you say so in the old style. I'm a bunch of intelligence agents without borders if you just dress up and say so. You get information in countries, you sell it to other countries."

"... is that okay in your current situation?"

The kingdom is at war with its neighbor exactly now.

He's going to get caught first, like the guy who runs information about his country to another country.

"Because there are also many“ fans ”of < DIN > in the great countries. I specialize in cases and intelligence for citizens and masters."

"For example."

"For citizens, you photographed and painted pandas bred all over the mountain in the Yellow River."

... You saw that on the bulletin board.

I thought it was a long story compared to our country.

"And for this, we're talking about the PK terrorist attacks that recently raved around the Kingdom of Alter."

Does putting that on the subject mean she knows anything about the flow that this case has solved?

"Earlier, I told you I was right... does your Lord know the truth about this?

"Do you want to hear? 600 lil in one place. The four-place set has a great value of 2000 lil"

I see. Is the outrageous appearance to sell information?

Regrettably, it has drawn my interest, and I am curious about what happened.

"... pay"

"Ah! Mr. Ray, I'll give you half too!

Me and Luke gave out 1,000 lil each.

"Every time. Let me conclude by saying that all the PKs that occupied the hunting grounds east, west and north here in King's capital Althea were destroyed."

Suddenly a word popped up that was not calm.

"What's devastation?

"Nearly all the PKs that were at the hunting grounds are Despenas, right? Each clan is still there, but you won't be coming to work any more than there was such a fuss. Some clans may break up."

Each clan? Work?

"Uh..."

"Oh, I was. Insufficient presentation of prerequisite information. In fact, this PK population was a coalition of multiple PK clans."

"Coalition......?

They said it wasn't alone, but it's a coalition of PK clans.

... No, you have enough PK clans to unionize this country.

"Yes.

East is K&R.

The southern Sauda Mountain Road is

West is Goblin Street.

These three PK-producing clans were in formation. "

Two or so blatant villains, or max clan names at the end of the century or mud. Did you put it on for me?

... Well, what's north of the heart?

"Why they were in formation, they said, because someone instructed them to hire them in for a high price and do PK there,"

"Is that a drife?

Luke asks, Marie gently raises her hands and shakes her neck to the left and right in the wind of lifting.

"Rumor has it that way, but < DIN > says you don't know because we haven't really gotten that far yet."

Well, it's more than likely because it's a war drife that makes this country happy to be damaged right now.

I think it's too direct.

"I guess if I tried PK clan, I'd have been hyaho about this one just because what I normally do changed places and got extra rewards, but there's no such delicious story in the world. They were destroyed by the work of one of the four masters."

"Four..."

Destroy the East, West, North and West PKs with just four.

I can imitate that...... no, it's that Mr. Figaro to the south.

Then other hunting grounds too......

"Yes, four people belonging to the Alter kingdom moved at the same time… the PK clan was destroyed"

Super.

Those who have evolved to the seventh form, which is the final system.

As it stands, even the entire game is said to have less than 100 players at its finest.

"" Unidentified "[King of Destruction (King of Destroy)],“ Infinite Chain ”Figaro,“ Moon World ”Dependent Moon Night,“ Liquor Pond Flesh Forest ”Ray. It's a form of annihilation of each PK clan they were nesting in each hunting ground. Yeah, I'm with the clan when it comes to the Clan Ranking Top Ranker's Dependent Moon Night."

"Heh..."

Mr. Figaro, were there two names “infinite chains”?

Because you're a chain-user?

And there are two names "unknown."

He doesn't even have a name, and he's a weird guy?

"Now look at this."

Marie took out the crystal balls and placed them on the table.

"What's that?

"Hmm, it's like video media. We can see footage recorded with magic cameras."

Magic Camera...... Well, I guess it's a video camera that works with magic, but do you think the operation can be anything if you magically put it on?

"< DIN > has been a secret and hidden turtle in the Alter Kingdom with a lot of incidents and disturbances these days... I've actually increased my intelligence-gathering facilities."

... every time you hide it.

"That intelligence-gathering facility was showing the end of this terrorist incident. It's all part of it here."

Marie activates the crystal ball at hand.

"Then let's see from the South where you two were talking earlier... [Superfighter], the“ Infinite Chain ”Figaro place"
