<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode IX Reasons for Fear

□ Ling Er, the bird

Thanks to a decent man whose name I don't know, I was able to escape that chemistry student again.

Often someone can help you if you're really that chemistry opponent.

However, the major issue of "the same university as that chemistry student" has not yet been cleaned up at all, and there are future concerns.

This time it could have been avoided, but the real broke into chemistry students, who are the heads of cult religious groups.

I'm not talking about sucking. I feel like I'm in danger because he's obsessed with me for some reason.

"... ha"

I'll call my brother later... in some cases I'll call my sister.

Because things get bigger, I don't really want to talk to you... but... oh, no.

I imagined for a moment that the headquarters building of the Moon Life Party would break (...) and I saw the sight. Let's not.

Whatever that chemistry does damage to others is bad aftertaste.

Well, I took it off the Voldemort Temple. I came to the university library.

For some information I got from a classmate I met today, to say why.

That information is about library books.

My classmates had checked the library's books in advance, but they had many Dendro-related books in the library for everything.

I was also curious about what Dendro-related books looked like and I just wanted to read them.

So, as soon as I looked for it, I found it.

It's like an offensive book by a publisher, but it was titled "Maxim Brigade Explorer," "20,000 Metel Under the Sea," "Heaven and Earth Fluffy Journey," or something like an adventure novel or travel magazine.

Well, it's not easy to gather tactical information against the huge amount of data in the first place.

Information on monsters appearing on each map, as well as information such as dungeons, is also incomplete in the attack wiki, and even changes significantly over time. Noz Forest is gone.

For this reason, the editor's experience report seems to predominate over the data aspect, even when it comes to tactical information.

That seemed interesting so I'll borrow it.

Let's read it even when we can't log in to Dendro, such as the time off between upcoming lectures. I look forward to seeing many of them written about countries outside the kingdom.

Sa, borrow it quickly..................

"Ah."

... it was. The student ID needed to borrow the book, every pass case remains stolen by that feminized student.

What do I do, it's too dangerous to go back there again,...?

…………

When I put my hand in my pocket, there was a pass case there that I was supposed to have been stolen by a feminine.

"............... no, I'm scared the other way around"

Probably put it back by that feminization student, but I didn't realize it at all when it was stolen.

It's called the power when you got me, isn't that feminine like a monster, not a metaphor?

Either way, my student ID was safely back on hand, so I could borrow the book.

When I headed to the library lending counter with the three books I found, a new edition corner along the way caught my eye.

There was also a book there that would be a 'Cardina Gourmet Journey' that seemed to be Dendro-related.

Reaching out to borrow this too,

"Ah."

"Excuse me."

They reached out to the woman at the same time and her hand came into contact.

I can apologize for a word and pull my hand in haste.

That's how I saw their faces.

"You just..."

"Oh, thank you for helping me earlier!

Whoever it was, the other woman was that decent guy.

She responds to me with a slightly troubled face.

"Thank you……. Because even for me, I couldn't get criminals out of the same circle. Oh, I'm late for my offer. I'm Fujiyashi Minato. Two years in Literature Class I."

"It's me, Reiji Toriko. Today is the year of Sentence III."

I finally got the name of a decent guy.

And apparently he was a senior.

Afterwards, Senior Fujiyashi asked me to "apologize earlier" and invite me to a coffee shop in the school.

I said, "I don't want my senior to apologize," but I said, "The chairman won't apologize... At least if I, the person concerned, don't apologize instead," he returned.

... I knew it was serious, this guy.

"Sorry about the chairman earlier. Nor is the chairman usually that screwed off."

That's what the seniors say and apologize for... but that chairman has always been like that since yesterday as far as I can tell.

I can't currently imagine people not getting maywacked that the screws aren't coming off......

"Things like today never happened since I joined..."

That seemed like that chemist was wearing a cat well too.

Should I call it a makeshift skin?

"... oh, even when I say join, I'm talking about circles. I'm not at all interested in the religion of the Chairman's house."

"I know that"

If I were a believer, I wouldn't be sitting the patriarch on the floor.

"Since when have seniors been in that circle?

"Not long ago, after fourth grade and graduation, did you? They're underrepresented, and that's when the chairman and vice chairman of the moonshadow were soliciting members."

"Note that the chairman and vice chairman are currently three years in medical school," the senior added.

... Is that the doctor's egg?

"It's just that those two, as you know, are out of their minds and religion, so the circle solicitation wasn't fragrant. Nobody's even been in today's freshman solicitation, as far as I know."

Crazy head and religion......

"It was also a big deal that this university had very few followers of the Moon Sessions."

"Really?

"That's a real-life escape doctrine over there, so no one is attracted to anyone who goes to this university"

I see.

The doctrine of "away from the flesh imprisoned by shackles, to the world of true souls", in short, "expose yourself to unpleasant real life and escape reality".

And now it's the faithful over there who believe in Dendro as the true world and enjoy life there.

While I did go to the Supreme College (here) and say, "This isn't my real life. Hey, I'm gonna get away with it!" No one will be.

... but then it's pretty unnatural for those two to be at this university, which is also medical school.

"How did Senior Fujiyashi join the club?

"It's for data."

"Data?"

When I snap my neck, the senior points to the book I borrowed.

"As you can see from these books and wikis, there's very little detailed data like traditional game strategies out there."

"Right."

"But the chairman has it. a huge amount of offensive data collected by a thousand followers of"

... a thousand abandoned people who believed the game to be a true world, which would also mean that data would be gathered in large quantities.

"When you enter, you are free to view the Infinite Dendrogram data that the Chairman has. I wanted that benefit and I joined."

"I see."

"Although I was the only one who joined the CID for fear of the disadvantages of" getting involved in the Moon "

"I guess so..."

If you only enjoy it as a game, it's too risky to get involved in a religion where real life can be threatened for that matter.

"What did seniors think of its disadvantages?

"Because I was originally involved to a certain extent"

"Because the chairman is also my parents' apprentice"

Says the senior's home was the home of a tea ceremony, where that feminized student went from an early age.

I've known him for a long time, so I guess that means even now.

... And then I kind of figured out why I was sitting him right there earlier.

Speaking of which, you were kidnapped inside the Infinite Dendrogram.

"Yes, he was kidnapped yesterday while sleeping in Dendro"

"... sorry to bother you"

"No, because it's not the seniors fault"

Eighty percent of those feminized students are bad, and the other twenty percent are bad moonshadow seniors of [Assassin King].

"It's my first day in college... so I'm still getting out of here for“ self-harm "?

"No, I managed to spare that. Someone I know came to help me."

Without Mr. Figaro, I would have been prepared to abandon myself and challenge that single chemist and [the assassination king].

"To help...? Who the hell could do that to that chairman and vice chairman?

"It's Mr. Figaro. Um, you know, the number one duel ranking in the kingdom."

When I say that,

"- Figaro?"

Senior Fujiyashi changed the atmosphere just a little bit.

The eyes behind the glasses are slightly narrower.

"... Who is Mr. Bird that [Superfighter] is coming to the rescue?

"No, because I've known Mr. Figaro since not long ago, and he's more like a friend of my brother's"

"Brother..., Figaro..., Brother..., Bird..."

Then I put my hand on my mouth and it looked like I was coming up with something.

"... Sterling Brothers"

That's how you look me in the eye like you realize something.

"Excuse me if I'm not, Mr. Bird, are you Ray Sterling, the Sterling brothers?

"Ah, yes. Yes, sir."

After all, the last name and first name are too intact, and they seem to be quickly separated.

It seems a lot of people know the name of my avatar because Franklin was relaying that case.

"He's the brother of that [Destroyer King], the [Superfighter's] apprentice"

"It's not like I'm a disciple. Although I'm allowed to do mock warfare."

And when I say this, that's it, but Mr. Figaro is not the right person to teach.

I'm rather good at that kind of thing, Xuan Yu.

... Though it's a weird story to be taught by a ten-year-old.

And then Mr. Riser in sixth place was good, too.

"... Really?"

The senior looked like he was thinking something with his hand on his mouth again.

"Toriku-san"

Wait about ten seconds and the senior speaks to me like he came up with something.

The words that seniors thus uttered were:

"Would you like to take this holiday with me on a quest, if I may?

It was an invitation to a quest in Dendro.

"Yes, with pleasure"

I thought this was on the edge of something, too, and I accepted the seniors' invitation.

"Well, then, that's what it is"

"Ooh, okay."

When I got home from college, I called my brother and told him that I would be late for my return to Gideon for a while because I was due to take a quest with my college senior.

I also asked my brother for a message from Luke and Marie, so this won't be a problem.

However, given the constant hassle of asking for a message, it might be time for you two to ask for your contact details.

"By the way, what happened to that bitch who grabbed you?

I didn't know who I was talking about for a moment when they said it was a female fox... but when I sequentially associated the person that seemed to apply, I immediately followed.

"Oh, womanizer...... it's the moon night of the sacrifice"

I was under the impression that I was a chemist, but my brother seems to have associated a female fox.

"I have a bit of a problem with that"

'... Problem?

"He was my college senior."

"........................ Kumar"

I don't know if you're surprised or shocked, but stop talking about bear tails in real life.

"Are you all right?

"Well, some seniors I could count on, so I managed"

I'm afraid to think about what would have happened if it weren't for the seniors.

'Right. You want me to call your sister?

"... let's not. Because it's going to taste bad."

My sister has a different view of the world.

Yes, because he's so uncomfortable coming out of Marie's comics that I recently started reading.

"You still don't seem to like your sister."

I don't like... well, I don't like it.

I never hate it, but it still shivers when I remember my childhood.

... Some recoil that scared my sister would have been perfect for my brother until that Ankla Games ten years ago.

'Hmm...... By the way, what did you think when you saw the moonlight of Susan?

"What do you say?

'Did you think I was so scared?

That's what made my heart beat.

"... how did you know that?"

'Oh, I knew it. Then I'll make it easy for you to stop being scared.'

Are you crazy?

No, I don't care what happens with the mundane stuff...

"The reason you think you're scared of that fox is so simple."

My brother cut the words there,

"He looks just like your sister."

- Ah.

'Of course it's not your face. That's an atmosphere. Weirdly friendly, rampant, childish, prankster, and so sometimes a killer or an aura that sounds like she's after prey. He's wearing Moro with his sister. "

…………

Oh, oh.

That's it.

Finally, I know why I'm afraid I don't know who I am anymore.

And I was also convinced that my heart was turning away from the reason.

If I recall comparing that feminized fear to something... it's synonymous with deciding and opening memories (my trauma) with my sister already.

"If only he knew with his head that he wasn't like his sister, he wouldn't be scared."

"... oh"

"That female fox won't fly from building to building with her toddler in her arms."

".................. oh"

"I will not break down the walls of a sinking ship and escape."

"....................................... Oh"

"I jumped off a plane without a parachute, but I wouldn't even survive a plunder wound."

……………………

Now I wonder what that sister's body is made of.

Well, for the last one, it's because I fell into a fuzzy vineyard I just plowed, and it seems like there's been a case of someone surviving minor injuries before my sister.

"That's why I don't have to scare that bitch from the bottom of my heart"

"Thanks.... I feel better"

It wasn't a metaphor, it was a really refreshing feeling.

After I finished my phone call with my brother, I finished dinner and bath, and before I logged in I was checking out Dendro related news site, MMO Journal Planter, on topics within the kingdom.

The site features "Earthquake Plenty With Less Than 3 Earthquakes Across the Kingdom," "Is That Big PK Entering The Emerging PK Clan", "A Big Hit With Gideon, [Destroyer King] Marked Popcorn! 'and other headlines caught my eye.

…………

As I skip the news on PK that I'm not particularly interested in and the news that I'm afraid to read because it's inside me.

If you read the news of the earthquake, as the headline suggests, there have been frequent weak earthquakes in various parts of the kingdom over the past month.

It is assumed to be unexplained due to the fact that the source of the earthquake is sparse and scattered between the east, west and north of the kingdom.

It is also said that there is a high probability of undiscovered dungeons, < UBM >, and powerful herds of monsters appearing from where the earthquake occurred, so that all earthquakes may have some causal relationship.

If the bulletin board also checked, it scattered theories such as' A giant monster roaming underground ',' An AI in charge of the environment for operations is doing some planting ',' Someone practicing local attribute magic everywhere ', and' It's Franklin's terrorism again anyway '. I think I'm fourth.

After the check, I'll put on the < Infinite Dendrogram > hardware.

From now on, I'm going to try a quest with my senior.

Fortunately, college is closed on Saturdays and Sundays starting tomorrow. Unless it's a quest with extra time restraints, it won't be a problem. Without just the right quest, you can explore the Tomb Labyrinth.

"Well, log in"

That's how I logged into < Infinite Dendrogram > for the first time in a day.
