＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■ Wangdu and Noble Street

In Infinite Dendrogram, capitals are built similarly.

Buildings that are the heart of the country, such as the royal castle, are in the center, and noble neighborhoods and so forth, plus civilian houses and merchant shops on the outer perimeter, and so on.

The Imperial Capital is generally such a thing, and the structure of such a city is centered around [Emperstand]. When it comes to differences, there will be research facilities like the home of the Triangle of Wisdom and Imperial Army military facilities on the outer edge of the Imperial Capital.

Such an aristocratic neighborhood of the royal capital, but there have been mansions here in recent years besides the aristocracy.

It belongs to important masters within the Empire, starting with Super.

That said, few < masters > make the most of this place.

Franklin gets a mansion, but he's asleep at the home of the Triangle of Wisdom, and he's basically absent until [Beast King], so he just cleans it regularly while his servant lives and works.

[Bandit King] Zeta and others have also told him from the beginning that they are "unnecessary".

But the other newcomer, [King of Car Riders] Murdoch Martinez, rarely makes the most of the Mansion as an Imperial < Super > and maintains his hobby tank every day in the garage on the property. Occasionally he enjoys tank warfare by mock bullet with his men and < Embrio > in the suburbs, so he really seems to enjoy life in the Empire.

Well, there's another one in the Empire.

[Demon General] Logan Godhardt. As for the Imperial < super >, after [the Beast King], he had, of course, received a mansion in the aristocratic district, where he basically lived.

It is this Logan who also has a large number of servants and, in a sense, lived a noblest life in the most aristocratic neighborhood.

Such a Logan... but now he had a knee on his own bed.

"Ugh, ooh...!

He held his pillow back and kept pushing his tearful face.

That didn't suit the beautiful young man who is an avatar at all, but it was an unsurprising behavior if he was a real boy elementary school student.

What happened to him?

In a nutshell… 'Lost again'.

The first time he was defeated by Ray Sterling, a rookie in the Calcheratan case.

Then the second time I lost to Franklin, who spreads his red shame online as a video.

And today - it's the third time I've fallen from the first place in the duel rankings.

"Bastard..., bastard...!

For him, unlike the first time I could say it was a coincidence or the second time I would delude him that I was embedded... the great defeat in a duel that was a place of constant victory for him was beating him like never before.

Earlier, the opponent he defeated in the Imperial Capital arena… was running up to second place in the duel rankings in a short period of time.

His name is [Bandit King] Zeta.

Yes, he is one of the new players in the Empire.

Therefore the battle was, so to speak, a < super clash > wagering the throne of the dueling king.

At that battle, Logan was not cautioned.

Instead, he challenged without any chronic concern that only this battle must be won.

But the result was a huge defeat that left nothing to be done.

"............... what the heck! That one!"

Immediately after the start of the game, Logan was set to call [zero over].

But for some reason, there was no word from Logan's mouth that he tried to exchange it to declare his skills.

The anomaly did not remain just that, Logan's vision stained the blood.

I can't stop bleeding out of my eyes and nasal cavity for what I've been done, and on the contrary, my blood starts to boil in the blood vessels in my body.

Still, when Logan tried to deal with it, Zeta was hypersonic and fleshy,

At the next moment I left one scratch on my skin and armor - my heart was being stolen (...).

His heart was crushed in Zeta's hands without hesitation.

Logan couldn't even understand what he was being done.

The only hard way to figure it out is that the last blow would be the depths of [Bandit King]. The poor vocalization and bleeding just before that, and the boiling identity of the blood, are all blind.

Because that way of fighting never took place in the battle until I ran up to second place.

Perhaps only Zeta herself, who did it, understood everything on that occasion, including the audience.

The only thing anyone could understand in their eyes... is that Logan was defeated and replaced by the Dueling King of the Empire.

At that moment the arena was engulfed with cheers (...).

As such, Logan is now locked in his room so as to escape the joyful voices filled with venues.

"Always, this one too...!

He remembered his remorse, enthusiastically as if he had hoped Logan would lose.

But that's not impossible either.

Logan did stand on the throne of the duel champion, but that's a story since he got to meet the tactic of "ravaging opponents by mythical demons who can summon them at practically no cost if they're in a duel".

His battle is always the same no matter who his opponent is, he puts out a mythical demon and defeats his opponent.

Just more mythical or legendary demons, even if they are strong against you.

It had won all the battles by itself.

In the dueling arena... there is only [Beast King] in the Empire to deal with more than one Enhanced Mythical Demon who boasts super status by himself.

Because that [Beast King] is not in the duel, all Logan's games were set to "just watch Logan's Mythical Demon Summoning Show" stage.

That's just work. It was extremely boring to the audience and at the same time greatly lowering the willingness of other duel rankers.

That's why that big cheer happened for his defeat today.

".................. ugh"

Logan had been beaten.

That is against being defeated in a duel that was always a winner and… my victory was not wanted by anyone.

So, after burying his face in the pillow for hours... Logan shrugged.

"... let's stop it, Dendro"

Logan became the < super >, the dueling champion, and was also treated as one of the finest forces of war in Dreiffe.

In < Infinite Dendrogram >, he believed he was at the apex.

It was an affirmation of the misconception that "I am better than anyone" often used to when I was a boy with little experience in life, a treatment that very much satisfied his self-esteem.

But now, having suffered three defeats and even a fall in status... "Shall I stop if I feel so hard and embarrassed", this was still also trying to choose a common setback and give up as a boy.

If Logan falls out, the Empire will be greatly cut off in the war.

But for Logan, who's going to stop now, it wasn't what he knew this game was going to be.

When I ran the logout and tried to leave < Infinite Dendrogram > forever,

"Stop. We will control and stop that evasion."

- A person placed his hand on Logan's shoulder and stopped the logout process by contacting others.

"Huh...?... you!?"

Logan leaps out of the box and takes the [Evil Dragon Treasure Sword Voltgaizar] out of the item box.

The person to whom the blade was directed is… a mummy-like Phantom with bandages all over his body.

Whoever...... is the [Bandit King] Zeta who defeated him in a prior duel and became the new dueling king of the Empire.

"Come up to my room on your own... what are you going to do!

That tone wasn't what he was playing as Logan, it was close to him in real life, but he didn't realize it.

Zeta also doesn't particularly care.

"Answer. I had a story to bring to you"

All I had to do was answer what they asked me what I meant.

"Talk...?

"Addendum. But before we talked about it, I heard you talking to yourself about retiring. It's troublesome, so this is how we stop it."

…………

Apparently, Logan guessed that Zeta didn't show up at that moment, but was sneaking in and watching how it went.

I have a lot of desire to sue for privacy, but I can't sue anywhere by the rule that crimes are not established between them. (Most importantly, Logan is a minor in real life, so depending on Zeta's behavior, he would have been penalized by the player protection feature)

"I never talk to the kind of guy who sneaks into people's rooms! Get out of here!

"Sedation. Don't be so angry. I apologize for sneaking in, but the story itself is deafening to you."

"Ears?"

"Affirmation. Specifically, I can present a plan that will make you extraordinarily stronger now"

……

That was an unmissable word to ask Logan, who was defeated by three defeats.

Be stronger now and look back on the people who wanted their own defeat. That's what I want strongly for Logan.

But the fact that Zeta herself is the third defeat that I'm talking about puts a brake on Logan's feelings.

"To you... can you do that?

"Affirmative. We have a database that we have compiled independently, and from there we can present you with several subjob plans that are right for you. In addition…"

Zeta cuts her words and tells her:

"We can present up to eighteen (...) Uncrusaded < UBM > information"

"If it is, let me give you one (...) here (...)"

Zeta took one bead (...) out of her nostalgia, saying so.

Logan immediately discovered that it was an article associated with < UBM >.

…………

That was what Logan wanted most.

Logan's trump card, Call Devil Zero Over, will require reward weapons as consideration.

Originally Logan held three privileged weapons, but one in the battle against [Heavenly Knight], Ray...... consumed another in the battle against Franklin, and now only [Evil Dragon Treasure Sword] remains.

As a consideration or as your own gear, the reward weapon… The information on < UBM > is what you want so much that you can get your hands out of your throat.

"As long as it..."

"I can still start over in Dendro," Logan thought.

But at the same time, I learn to question it.

If it's about Job's plan, I can still tell.

But if you have the strength to defeat it, such as the location of UBM, then you should go on a crusade yourself instead of anyone else.

And I don't know how, but Zeta, who destroyed herself easily, couldn't have done it.

Why should I give Logan information with that value of thousands of gold?

No, rather... what do you (...) want for that consideration?

"... make me strong, what do you want"

"Meetings. I'll give you one."

Zeta says so, looking into Logan's eyes with eyes peeking from his bandage-covered face.

And I connected it to the next word.

"Solicitation. Solicit you to our clan -"

IF. [King of Crimes] The most murderous clan, with Zex Würfel as its owner and composed of only the < super > of the nominee arrangers.

Let's add Logan to the clan that Zeta herself belongs to.

"What, um...?

"Affirmation. You have been officially nominated by the Kingdom in an earlier case of Calcellatan. Sufficient qualifications."

Logan's actions in the war ahead were not therefore a sin during the war.

But the Kalcherathan case ahead is clearly an out-of-war event, and Logan has also been arranged for a nomination.

In other words, he was also a nominee.

"... but what am I supposed to do in a clan where I gather all the nomination arrangers?

That was a natural question.

< IF > is widely infamous as the clan where the nominee < super > gathered.

However, the purpose of its actions as an entity or clan is uncertain.

No matter how coveted the information is considered, Logan cannot shake his neck vertically.

Zeta understands that, too.

"Description. Our purpose is…"

Slowly, I told him the purpose of the.

◆

"... that's funny, that"

After enough, that was Logan's first voice when he finished hearing Zeta explain.

At the same time, he hadn't had his chest jumped in a long time.

"Question. Did you like our purpose?

"Oh. Then I want to join you. Besides, it even gives me information about < UBM >, so I have nothing to say. Just give me a minute."

"If you're a nominee, there's another one in this country."

That's not to mention Franklin.

If that Mad Scientist in White were to ask you out, you wouldn't even get this story as Logan.

Zeta's reaction, however, was a denial shaking her neck sideways.

"Denial. Mr. Franklin doesn't solicit."

"Why not? I'm not saying..."

Logan couldn't put the phrase, "He's stronger than me," into his mouth.

"Ineligible. The person will not be able to use his power to welcome him to the < IF >. Above all... not meshing with us first"

……

Logan didn't know what Zeta's words meant, but he could still understand that Franklin would never be invited to < IF >.

Then you no longer have to worry.

"Okay. Then I'll gladly join your clan. … you'll get the right price."

"Welcome, welcome new members"

That said, Logan exchanges hands with Zeta.

"So when do I leave the empire (...)?"

"On hold. Leave your books alone for a while. Look at the fold and I'll call you."

"Okay.... Looking forward to it."

One demon user took the demon's hand that day.

That was the moment when the war between kingdom and empire began to entangle the intentions of no nation.
