＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■ "Prison" - [Murderer] Gabella

When I first logged in to < Infinite Dendrogram > in fifty hours, the landscape I saw was not Gideon, who set it at the save point.

It's like a set of western plays, the streets lined with soil-embellished roads and dust-covered wooden architecture.

There was a view there that did not belong to any of the seven great nations.

"... unexpected. I thought it was an indoor facility surrounded by thick walls."

If you look up, you see the blue sky.

But if you look closely, not a single bird is flying, and there are no clouds.

And even though it was bright, there was no sun.

... I guess it's an indoor facility, here.

"But I'm glad it's easier than I thought. - Though I'll be out of jail soon anyway."

Yes, I was only sent to “prison," but I'll be out in a minute.

Using Al Hazard's special skills, I should be able to get out of jail.

That would make me the first master to break out of jail.

This is my remedy!

"... I don't know what to think (...), but if I let him say it, he'll be" distorting reality the way I want it to be "

I just thought about the idea of a good afterthought.

I didn't even think I would fail, so there's no way I'd think about that beforehand.

When I tried to distort it for convenience, I became aware of it.

Because of him.

"Oh, already! Chugging!!"

I've been this annoying ever since I heard Luke say it that day.

Even if I think about something that makes me feel good, I immediately say, "Is that really a good fit?" The question crosses the back of my brain.

Not just now. The fun memories of the old days and the memories of me being wonderful, are breaking up.

I've felt this way ever since.

I couldn't log in as soon as the death penalty was available because it took me a while to sort out how much I felt to be able to log in.

"He... I won't forgive him!

Luke, who decided my heart with words.

I won't let him.

It should have been invincible - there are some things that I think about the [Destroyer King] who destroyed Alhazard, who must have been invincible without my eyes, but resentment toward Luke is not the ratio.

Since then...... I'm not having any fun.

Even if I'm spending time in real life, I can't get into my ideal self.

As if it were a curse, the thorns of the words Luke stabbed irritate me.

So I made up my mind.

I'll definitely get out of “prison" and attack him backwards.

That's why I logged in again!!

"First we have to get Alhazard to look into the structure of the“ prison "... but if it's another server as rumored, it could be an escape... no, I would... keffle"

When I was thinking, the dirt and dust went down my throat and coughed up.

No more! No matter how much western theatre motif it is, the earthsmoke is terrible.

I want to rest somewhere beautiful.

There's got to be, a beautiful place. It's like a paid prison or a hotel.

This is also an Infinite Dendrogram, so there's a decent facility, right?

If it hadn't been... I'd have tightened up the guy with the architecture or the job to make it.

I still took architectural office relationship jobs for infiltration, so design would do it.

All you have to do is work and materials to build a house.

Well, it's a temporary lodge until I get out of jail, but I'm super.

You should be able to get to the top of this place.

Hehe, it sounds interesting to go up to the king in “prison” by the time you get out of jail. There might even be a hidden super position! That would also give us another chance to look back on our members!

"But can you really......... oh already!!"

I even thought about the extra while I was thinking about it again.

This is all his fault too!!

Luke......, if I break out of jail, I'll definitely make you a gutter......!

Physically and mentally...... because it's absolute!

"That newbie-looking sister there, how many of us have been looking at each other since just now?

And a dude in the avatar who was bored with me called out.

It's all plainly PK or something like that.

Sounds like shit to me.

"It won't matter to you. Disappear because you're blind."

If it doesn't disappear, I'll slice it up with the alhazard that made you stand behind me.

"Oh, I'm scared. Well, I know you just got into“ jail ”and you're worried about it. Yeah. When I came here after being defeated by the Sake Pond Meat Forest in Wes Kaido..."

... I'm gonna start my own story and I'm gonna smash it out of the wuss.

"And yes. This is the real deal. Sister, bring this."

That's what the man said...... I gave him a book.

"What's this? No religious solicitation."

And the fucking Zako's neck is broken (no).

"No, that's why I'm here. This is it."

The man pointed to one of the pieces of paper strewn on the bulletin board.

[Multiple of ten days of each month is reading day]

[Read and review library books to distribute 100 Jail Lil in “prison” currency]

[Participation is free]

[* Try to read quietly when reading a book and be quiet so that you don't get in the way of people who are also reading]

[* Reading enriches the mind]

"Prison” Manager AI Redking]

"... is this a gakkow?

Plus, if 100 Jail Lil is the same as 100 Lil outside, it's a good place to put money.

And yet you're telling me to read a book, too?

Are you making fun of me?

"Are the prisoners here that hungry? But if you're hungry, why don't you just take it from the other prisoners?

They're all wanted, so that's natural, right?

It wouldn't be level to hit a thief if you threw a stone.

"No, I'm not riding the Redking bastard's conduct event. But you better have the book."

"Then why?

'Cause that guy's enthusiastic about it.'

... that guy?

"Who's that guy?

"Mr. Zex is a man. He's one of four in this prison, and he's an exemplary prisoner, so he's passionate about events like this."

"... Huh?

Words leaked out of my mouth that were neither questionable nor frightening.

Zex, of course I know the person.

[King of Crimes] Zex Würfel... who is the owner of the < IF > to which I belong.

Is that the role model prisoner and passionate about attending behavioral events?

How stupid are you talking to me?

[King of Crimes] Right?

You think that would make you happy to read, write reviews, get change?

"For that reason, it is unlikely that I would be hostile to him if I pretended that he was attending an event just because of his physical appearance..."

"Hey, tell me something"

"Oh, what?

I grab an informative fucking Zako collar and ask.

"Where is that Mr. Zex?

◆

It was a beautiful little place in this “prison” where I was taught to be a fucking informant.

That looks like a coffee shop, and the white walls remain clean from dirt and dust.

Looks like it's well cleaned, and no wonder it's in Gideon.

Store name is Dice.

As the name suggests, a large wooden dice of the ball was placed next to the door like a sign.

But if you look closely, you only have "six" eyes of dice.

What is this, not four, five, six games for a squid?

"Oh, speaking of..."

I studied the letters of various countries to write the cryptography used for cards, and I also learned a few words.

If that memory is certain, then surely the German word "six" should have been "zex" and "dice" should have been "wurfel".

I mean, the owner's name, Zex Würfel, means "Six of Dice," right?

Could dice be the owner's thing, not the store sign?

But why is there something like this in the coffee shop?

"... I wonder if you're decorating the dice because it's your territory"

After only a little more vigilance, I opened the glass door and walked into the store.

"Irashaymase"

When I entered the store, a mechanical waitress doll greeted me.

Hi, looks like Tian's not in this “prison”. Looks like a machine doll is serving customers instead.

... I wonder if anyone would break it and steal it.

Besides, this doll is good enough to look like a person at first glance. It's a sphere joint, and I know it's a doll right away because it's filled with diamond-like gems on my forehead.

Just curious to see the doll in Appraisal Eye, his name is [Diamond Slayer, the annihilator of diamonds] and the description says "Brilliant Jade Man".

............... is that it? I mean, stealing things, it's a fantastic piece of luxury in itself, isn't it?

"Okaxama?"

"... Ha!

I'm a little flabbergasted to think about the market price of the doll in front of me, but soon I'll get my sanity back and execute the purpose for which I came here.

"Zex Wurfel! [King of Crimes] Zex Wurfel is here!?"

I took control of the doll with my hand trying to lead me to my seat and called it that in the store.

A sparse customer in the store is looking at this one with a strange face, but I found out. It's not this way.

I don't know the owner's face, so I have to call him in to find him.

Someone in here is supposed to be the owner!

"It's Gabella, a member of IF! I've been wanting to talk to the owner once, but I don't think he's here!

When I said that, for some reason, the customer exhaled with a face that was uniformly relieved...... he began to read the book.

If you look closely, they were all reading.

What the fuck!

"You're not here!?"

"Um, may I have a word?

I wondered if there were any [criminal kings] here because all my guests would not respond to my call... there was someone who had spoken to me.

It was like the owner (master) of this coffee shop.

An inexplicable young man wearing aprons and black edged glasses.

I thought you might have Tian in “prison," but you were right.

"What! I wouldn't order it! I just got here and there's no“ prison ”currency thing called Jail Lil! Nothing! Bad!?"

"No, I'm not asking for an order. I'd like to confirm, are you a member of < IF >?

"That's what you're saying! So hurry up and [the criminal king]..."

"This is me."

"................................. Huh?

For a moment, I didn't understand what they said.

But if you look at the back of the store owner's left hand, which I thought was Tian... the emblem was there.

"This is Zex Würfel of [King of Crimes]. Nice to meet you. Mr. Gabella...... So good to see you, huh?

The inexorable young man... said so [King of Crimes], who was not as close to my imagination.

◆

A few minutes later. I was sitting in the counter and drinking the owner's brewed coffee.

... I'm angry that it's delicious.

I asked him wondering why the tea contract was popcorn, but he said, "A friend of mine has been elaborate on popcorn these days, and I've tried to get started too". I wonder if popcorn making is popular.

But you should make it my favorite doughnut for tea.

Oh, when I remembered the popcorn and the doughnuts, I got angry over there, too.

All of us, Luke and [Destroyer King].

"... and yet you really are our owner"

After that, he showed me his simplified status and finally convinced me too.

His name, Job, was definitely [King of Crimes] Zex Würfel.

... Though I think the total level value is some kind of bug.

"Yeah, but I'm wondering if I can say I'm the owner myself."

"Originally, Zeta and Rascal just asked me to serve, because it was like a half-nominated loan... Besides, this is something I've come to“ jail ”right from the formation of the clan, and the operation has ended up throwing at you both..."

Rascal is the name of the Super Scout who scouted me.

... Yeah, you sure look like you're the owner.

Though he doesn't look like it, and he doesn't look like a [criminal king] at all.

More like a violent, wild man, or a mafia boss with a cat on his lap.

"Why are you a coffee shop owner?

"I've had plenty of time... so I started thinking about having some hobbies. And it took me six months to make coffee."

"... if it tastes so good without skills, I'll open a coffee shop in real life."

"I didn't know you could get that much praise...... thank you"

... Low waist and soft.

Now you're really a [criminal king]?

"By the way, the customers of this store... they're all reading books."

"Yes, because it's reading day. Gentlemen, you are eager to read over a cup of coffee."

"Hmm."

Looking inside the counter, the owner seemed to be reading beside the job, and the biography of Nightingale was pinched.

I know you're really keen on attending the Conduct Event... but isn't that book too selective?

I have some exemplary prisoners, too. I don't think it's very [criminal king].

... I think I'll ask.

"I heard you were an exemplary prisoner in the city... why?

"Why, what?

"[King of Crimes] What, so that's what dominates“ prison ”in the shadows and distracts you?

"No, that's not true. If you're a criminal, you follow prison rules. So this I also (...) do (...)"

"Yes....?

Right now, I feel like some weird nuanced language mixed up, but I don't know if it's my fault.

It's a lot these days because I think too much about things because of Luke, like this.

"By the way, the owner is exchanging emails with Zeta in real life, right?

The announcement in the clan said that before.

"Yep. Zeta's email is in Arabic, so it's hard without translation software,"

... It's that guy over there, Zeta.

"Even in an e-mail, is that the way you talk?

"Yep. But that's easy to understand intent after translation and helpful"

... Oh, indeed.

Oh, yeah.

"The next time you text me, write about me, too." I'm going to break out of jail in there. "

"Is Mr. Gabella going to try to break out of jail?

"Of course, my < Embrio > is the strongest... but something that might not be right for that"

... I want to assure you it's the strongest but it's hard not to be able to do it anymore.

Hey, Luke.

"Then you should wait a while longer."

"Why?"

"After a while now, Mr. Candy is on [disastrous weapon] offense... [Plague King] is ready, so this me and you can go together and make sure the three of us get out of jail"

[Plague King], Tian, you're a lousy guy who's said to be the most murderer or something.

Though they are the ones I cared about because they don't seem compatible with me either......

............... is that it?

"Including you, three?

"Yes, Mr. Hannya is about to be released from prison, and Fuuta-kun and I were unable to establish a cooperative system."

Maybe the other two are, but that's not what I want to hear.

"Is the owner breaking out of jail, too? It's like I'm enjoying it."

Open up to the coffee shop.

"Yeah. 'Cause felons try to break out of jail while they're in jail. So this I (...) will (...)"

…………

See you later.

I wonder what, the owner's words.

From earlier on, occasionally, the discomfort mixes.

But I can't put that discomfort into words successfully.

"Oh, yeah. Speaking of jailbreaking, why is Mr. Gabella here in the first place?

…………

It's not easy for me to talk about why and the upside.

Because it doesn't fix it, and it's nothing more than saying your failures out of your mouth.

I'm sure I would have talked about the success I saw from me before I heard those words.

But since it doesn't seem like I can do it now... I had no choice, so I talked objectively.

I followed through with the owner about the incident at Gideon.

The owner was listening, nodding and offering me a coffee replacement from time to time.

By the way, the other customers are about me and the owner starting to talk about this, have you read the air or are leaving the store. He seemed kind of used to it.

"That's how I challenged [Destroyer King] to prove my strength... I lost lightly"

I'm tired of saying my defeat with my own mouth.

"Oh, that was tough. I get it. I'm here because I lost to Shu too."

That's what the owner said as he nodded in agreement with what I made him talk.

"Lost? But from what I've heard, it's a draw..."

"No. This I lost. I was pushed to death penalty by Shu, because Shu is a death penalty due to recoil. So this is my loss."

That's what the owner was saying and admitting his defeat and talking.

There is no slight dust on the signs that the words are likely to be regretted.

Has there been a break in my mind in the period since I was incarcerated, or have I not regretted it from the beginning?

I don't get it.

I just... I don't know why.

It feels like the owner is speaking with a sense of intimacy, not hostility, to the [Destroyer King], who is supposed to be his host enemy.

"Nevertheless, how did Shu attack Mr. Gabella's ability to..."

The owner looked like he was coming up with something.

"You sensed an alhazard that should never be sensed, right?

I also told the owner about Alhazard's abilities.

Originally the members of the clan knew, so I thought I should tell the owner as well.

"Yes, I don't know why... I really don't know yet"

"Really...... then let's give it a try. Attack me."

"Huh?"

That's what the owner said and came out of the counter.

That's how I move the table to make space.

"We have to break the cup, so let's make a place"

"Oh, no, but... huh?

This guy, are you serious?

"Attack me" all of a sudden... are you a mazo?

"Don't hesitate. Wherever you want, attack me with an alhazard."

"... don't complain later, okay?

If you don't try to attack me, the story didn't seem to go on, so I decide to do it with a notion.

I move Al Hazard and place it next to the owner. He doesn't look like the owner.

Let Alhazard shake his sickle so he can cut his arm shallow as it is.

"Oh, yeah. You should also lay down newspapers."

"Ah!? Don't move now...!?"

- Shortly after, the sickle, which was supposed to slash his arm shallow, severed the bent owner's neck.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!?"

gobbling and the owner's neck rolling down the floor.

The rolling neck stopped when it hit the glass door.

He saw the store from the outside, but he screamed and ran away.

"Duh, what do I do...!?"

You accidentally despenned the owner!?

Oh, this, my fault!?

This is from the other members, "I'm going to prove my strength!" So they don't think I killed the owner!?

What do we do!?

"You still have pain"

"... Huh?

A voice that was heard until a few decades ago reaches my ear again.

If you look, the owner's body, which was supposed to have been severed from the neck, was still there, not even dust of light.

On the contrary, he is pronounced even though he has no head.

"Aprile. Sorry to bother you, but pass that my head"

"Casico Marimacita. His Excellency the Owner (Owner)"

The neckless owner had the doll by the glass door - perhaps named Aprile - pick up his own neck and receive it thrown at him.

"I get it. Mr. Gabella, your alhazard, your pain, can't go away."

Without even connecting his own neck (though it would be a story about whether he could be connected in the first place), the owner uttered such a reflection on Alhazard.

"Yes, yes!? No, more obviously the owner's neck is an anomaly than that!? Are you okay?!?"

"It's okay. It is normal to lack body parts, to become wood dust. So would Emily, right?

"Really!?"

I don't know because I've never seen anything like it!?

"Oh, and I don't have a head to talk to..."

"Vocal cords and lungs are here, so isn't it natural to talk from here?

... no nature or shit at the point where my neck is flat even if it's broken!!

I mean, pain!? I said pain!?

This guy was decapitated for pain on and he's so flat!?

What is it!? Actually, this guy is a real thing or something!?

"Okay, let's connect. I can't even look at you like this."

The owner puts his neck over the cross section and his neck is connected without anything to get back to normal.

".................. gross"

Visually, it's more shocking than amputation.

It's obviously an unusual sight even without pain, but could that be possible?

... systemically substituted (...) like Cardina's [King of Annihilation] or something?

"... Owner's < Super Embrio >, is the motif Durahan?

"Is it Durahan? It's a well-dressed motif, but not mine."

... Then I don't care what I get my neck off!!

"More than that, it's Mr. Garbera's alhazard now. Now I felt pain when I was decapitated. Alhazard can't hide the pain. I'm sure Shu found out from there, too."

"I didn't expect that."

Pain on what a crazy thing.

I mean, I doubt the owner's brain is normal when he turns on pain and says "attack me"!!

"Now turn on Mr. Garbera's pain and try to attack him"

"...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I swung it out earlier and it was catastrophic, so now in the form of a light poke......

"Oh, it's where I'm going"

"That's why it's not moving!?"

The tip of the sickle, which was supposed to poke two arms, was punching through the heart of the owner, who had changed direction just before.

... No more. What is this?

I see. I get it.

Being struck out of the heart didn't even make it a death penalty as it should, and the owner was flat...... too immortal.

How did you send this to “prison” with a death penalty [Destroyer]... I'll pull.

"I didn't feel any pain this time. It still seems to depend on Mr. Gabella's own senses."

The owner who experienced it said that Alhazard only cover-ups about pain come from my pain on-off, and so on.

I didn't even realize it was the Master of Alhazard.

"But there's no such thing as a pain on, so this isn't gonna be a weakness, is it?

"No? I do occasionally turn it on, depending on the situation. Some people turn on pain all the time."

Always painful on... I'm not stupid, those guys.

Or is it a mazohist gathering?

"Then watch out for the pain turning on next time..."

"No. There is an easier way to overcome it. We just need Mr. Gabella to be on pain all the time."

…………………………………………………?

"... no, no, because I can't. What are you talking about? Aren't you stupid?

I can't even afford to fix the language.

But the owner put his hand on me without looking concerned.

"It's okay. There's a way to train that you can spend."

And the owner said this, even as he said it was a good idea.

"It's a special training in hell."

◆

It was in the basement of the coffee shop.

Equipment as if it were a Gideon arena stage where I was lurking.

"It just looks like it, though. There's no convenient connection like a dueling facility. Are you ready?

"Yes, yes..."

I set my pain on while feeling depressed about what's about to happen.

The point is what [Destroyer King] was doing against Luke, right?

That special training to sharpen HP while the pain is on. [Destroyer King] was naturally sharpening Luke's HP a lot.... Though I am now impressed that I have often had such a clever imitation with the power to bury me in one blow fused with Alhazard.

... Speaking of which, that was a "hell of a special training" too. Does it make us all want to put "Hell's” on it?

However, in my case, it's not about influencing the direction of evolution, it's about getting used to the feeling of pain.

I'm sorry it hurts, and I resisted.

But I ended up accepting it stuffed with words and a sense of intimidation that I didn't quite understand.

... To be honest, that was the most [criminal king] thing I ever saw.

"Besides... the special training itself is necessary to be strong."

If we don't do this, we have no choice but to continue to have weaknesses in Alhazard.

Even I want to believe once again that my alhazard is the strongest.

If there's anything you can do for it, take some ordeal and stand.

Again, "My < Embrio > is the strongest," so I can say from the bottom of my heart.

"Okay, here we go."

"... don't hurt too much if you can"

"You can't do that. I think it hurts a lot because I'm going to pull my tongue out at the beginning."

"Huh?"

The owner grabbed my jaw - pulled his tongue as it was and cut it a thousand times (...).

――――――――――――――――

At that moment, my thoughts diffused with pain and amazement and I couldn't think of anything.

"Hichahiho...!?"

The owner said this to me when he asked me with a bump and a mouth that drained blood with pain.

"So it's a hell of a special training. Strong pain in advance..., if you're used to chopping your tongue and holding your hands and feet, you don't have to worry about any damage in action"

"Really......!

What a sane special training with such a physical defect!?

"Don't worry about the defect"

The owner takes out and uses the [Job Crystal].

I switched Job from [Criminal King] to another Job...... "Prayer of the Virgin (...)" he muttered.

"I've already healed. Make sure."

That's what they say, they try to move their tongues in their fearful mouths.

I can tell by that feeling. My tongue is back to normal. Even if you check with your fingers, there are

"Now, is... Huh?

But I was more stunned by the change in the owner in front of me than by the fact that my serious injuries had disappeared without a trace.

Up to the brink, the owner was an inexorable young man with glasses.

But now, the owner in front of me dressed the same..., but his chest was swollen, his back changed, his hair was stretched, and he was obviously a woman (...).

In Nursing, it is labeled [Virgin (Saint)] Zex Würfel.

…………

I didn't understand.

I was suddenly pulled out of my tongue.

That the wound disappeared instantly.

The fact that [the criminal king] is also a [Virgin].

That he's a beauty who doesn't look alike.

... Speaking of which, there was a "case of divorce of the Virgin" in [the King of Crimes] 's guilt.

I thought it meant something weirder before, but maybe it was an authoritarian case name.

"With this me, you can fully heal without any death penalty, even serious injuries, so don't worry, come to special training"

…………

Plus, I've found out about the owner.

Though the owner is a gentle person with a soft waist............ all the screws on his head are off.

"It's your first day, so lightly, cut it up with ten sets of limb amputations (...)"

".................. ahahahahahahahaha"

Dry laughter leaks out of my mouth.

Yeah, I just noticed.

I should have looked down on the other masters all along.

Only the owner hadn't looked down thoroughly.

Maybe even I, being called a fool, understood by instinct.

- He said he'd never beat this.

"Ha..."

But let's get special training in perspective.

Come to think of it, that Luke clears up something similar.

I'm gonna get over this too, and I'm gonna revenge on him with the really strongest I've ever been completely free!!

"... soften your hands"

"No. I'll make it hard because I can't cut it if my hands stay soft"

"Do you do it with a hand knife!? hey, wow...... ahhhhhhh!?"

That's how my “prison” life begins... my days of special training in hell.

... Yet, Luke. I will definitely bump you for this minute!!

■ Dryfe Empire/Place

…………

At the location, Zeta, the sub-owner of < IF >, had received a notification from member Rascal.

That's a story about a newcomer, Gabella.

In fact, face-to-face with Gabella, Zeta wondered, "Is she really okay," and contacted Rascal, who scouted her.

That reply was the letter she spread.

"… Convinced. If that's the story, I can understand it."

In the letter, it was generally written:

One of them is that Gabella is extremely useful as a force of war, but it is difficult for her to correct her personality.

Two, this kind of correction is best suited to the owner. But the owner is in jail.

Thirdly, if you give Gabella a less important job, she should storm out of frustration. Also, that was best for Gideon, who had more than one < super > to fight her against.

Fourthly, if she is sent to “prison” for failure, there is an owner there.

Conclusion, owners can be sure to correct it first. Besides, Gabella's abilities are useful when the owner escapes from prison.

Zeta also had to be convinced of the plan.

Indeed, there is nothing that goes out to the right of Zex to re-beat his chronic heart.

Because there is hardly anyone, such as Zex, who can maintain his common sense and chronic mind relative to him.

…………

According to an exchange of Zeta and Zex emails, the story was that jailbreak would be near the end of the war between the kingdom and the empire.

A few more months in < Infinite Dendrogram > time. That would correct Gabella, Zeta thought.

"Complex. Are you with the owner all the time in" prison "...... pity, but also envy."

Zeta felt sorry for Gabella, who was only in Hell's special training, and at the same time a little envious.
