<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode Two: Azrite's Request

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

I logged into Dendro as soon as I got home from college.

It is no longer the fountain of the king's capital that I am accustomed to seeing that I have descended.

I was questioned with this, whether local or not, for some time after the incident with Calcherathan.

Later, however, he had returned to King's Capital yesterday because production and investigative jobs were now all about his main job.

I can log in for a while as it will be Saturday and Sunday holidays again from tomorrow. You should finally be able to get back to Gideon, which is a hometown with this login.

"Are you back? Ray."

As soon as I log in, Nemesis appears from the crest on my left hand side.

That's the usual thing in itself.

"Ah. Ray Sterling and Nemesis"

"Raw, indomitable."

"... frightened"

Much different than before the ambient reaction returned from the calceratan. The reaction is particularly pronounced in small children.

No, I did before I logged out yesterday...

"Is this air because of the video that was streaming online and to them?

"Oh."

My face, name, and build were pretty well known by the incident at Gideon that Franklin had made from the beginning.

But this time, it was known again in [General Demon] 's video.

Besides...... I'm scared to say one way or another this time.

Because the video of that battle... its contents were the problem.

The video of that battle online has a full version of the battle and a split version for each scene.

The most viewed scene in the split version is the scene that penalizes [Demon General].

The next most common is the battle between Gardranda and [Geeganite]. This is why subpoenas by perk weapons are rare (or maybe the look of Gardranda).

And, naturally, these two videos also get a lot of views.

So I can still see those.

Problem is, I'm the cause of being scared...... third most viewed video.

That was just after the battle started, the scene where I stuck a legion of demons and cut to [General Demon].

In other words, it is a video in which the demon is chewed up and run with blood dripping from his mouth.

... I've watched it too, but what a shooting at an angle that's too best, 'What horror movie is this?' He seemed to say so himself.

For some reason the audio was French is also applauding it.

Ever since then, I've noticed myself all over the city of Calcherathan jumping out surprised by "Hih!?" and my child's "I can eat -!?" running away crying occasionally.

When I was so scared, I snapped into a boulder.

"Was it a bad idea to cut a thousand bites after all"

"... I played a part in the outfit."

Are you dressed...... was the video tagged with 'Dark Knight' or something because it was black?

Well, in real life, it was dinner, but here, it was just lunch.

We went into the right restaurant to eat, even in the sense of avoiding making a bad stand out.

It should be noted that I chose a restaurant with a private room.

Lately, for some reason, there's a layer of Nemesis who comes to see where he eats rice and takes pictures on camera.

Since I've become weirdly famous about Franklin and [the Demon General], the visibility of Nemesis has also increased in tandem.

Meal volumes are often discussed among them, and the secret to "indomitable” strength was the Engel coefficient of nemesis! "" Hey, what?!? "" Oh, well! Mass captured into energy......! "I didn't know what to look like when I saw an interaction like that on a bulletin board.

"Mm-hmm. Because the Engel coefficient is not a meal volume, but a percentage of the cost of living relative to income. In our case, we have the money we got on the example of the Gozmaids Bandits, so it should be lower."

"No, that's not where I cared"

Plus, I'm eating a million lil lightly on previous totals, so it's not that low.

... Well, that's why the people wandering around the nemesis during the meal with cameras began to show up.

It's unclear whether it's some kind of investigative activity, or whether it's a similar rationale to shooting a panda eating a saccharide.

However, if such a state still persists, I can also remember a little cramping.

"Well, people's rumors say seventy-five days, and then they'll get bored and leave you alone,"

I don't know which time, seventy-five days.

"If you have seventy-five days, how many more big cases will you be involved in? If it had rekindled every time, wouldn't it be over forever?

Let's just say we didn't hear any disturbing future predictions based on experience.

After lunch, he walks to the south gate of the king's capital to head to Gideon.

Silver is too conspicuous all over the city, so riding is not until you leave King's Capital.

... When the mass-production type of calcellatan becomes popular and the original becomes less noticeable, it's easier to ride around the city.

"... no? Isn't it too conspicuous in your lord to be on board after all? Especially outfits."

I've been thinking about this ever since we talked about it at Calcherathan, but isn't Nemesis taking my outfit for too much?

"Really... I have the [Stormface] thing, and I'm already full of anxiety about 'what you'll look like next time your gear changes,' but...?

At that time, Nemesis looked at the end of the alley like he realized something.

I look at you, too, but at the end of my gaze there was someone who looked familiar on a mechanical horse.

"Mr. Ray, Mr. Nemesis. Long time no see."

"It's been a long time, Mr. Liliana"

It was Liliana riding a mechanical horse - a mass-produced white brilliant jade horse.

I used to be on the same side as Azrite and was reunited once when I arrived in Wang Capital, but apparently I've done a model conversion to a brilliant jade horse in Calcheratan since then.

"Did you switch to a brilliant jade horse?

"Yeah. Because the original Love Ride was about the age of retirement. I went to Kalcherathan to collect it."

It would mean that deployment to the Kingdom Knight is progressing.

The mass-produced type of calcellatan - commonly known as the [second model] - has overall higher specs than the replicas that have excavated by then.

In addition, it has barrier and flight features that were not found in traditional replicas, making it in some cases more suitable for rides of knights than horseback riding monsters in the subdragon class.

The difficulty is that the use of the barrier and flight function presupposes ownership of "Brilliant Ball Authority" level one.

In order to perform, the person has to touch that giant crystal directly to take the [Brilliant Cavalry] job.

I am a [brilliant cavalry] myself, but the specifications around it are mysterious.

Should it be said that the reason for doing it is a mystery, not the specification itself?

The original, including silver, can fly and barrier without a separate [brilliant cavalry] job. It seems that non-silver brilliant jade horses can also be attacked by senior position depths or more.

Even so, in the mass production type, "Brilliant Ball Authority" is required for flight and barrier.

It has to do with the use of this skill, Brilliant Horse's skill in the first place. But it's also closer to saying 'I'm off limits because I have skills' than saying 'I can activate it by skill'.

Unlike another skill, Brilliant Ball Beast Enhancement, that's the kind of skill that "authority" is.

'It's like a restriction to not let anyone who can't get a [brilliant cavalry] use it,' said Senior Beasley when he was talking about how such a specification could be at Calcellatan.

But this is one way or another......

"Mr. Ray? What's the matter, sir?

"Ah......, sorry"

"Your lord has a habit of thinking unexpectedly."

"Maybe..."

Thoughts often concentrate on sideways.

By the way, Luke said he had the same habit in his self-declaration.

The self-declaration is because in Luke's case, his head spins too fast and he doesn't look like he was thinking it was from someone else.

"Mr. Liliana. Elizabeth... while you were at the Calcheratan, what about your Highness's escort?

While in Gideon, she was either beside Elizabeth the whole time... or searching for Elizabeth, who escaped.

I wonder what that old lady princess is doing while she leaves Gideon like that.

"Yes, I have received a new order from His Highness Ultimia, in the meantime I am asking Sir Lindos"

Sir Lindos or... I hope Elizabeth hasn't swung me around and hit me in the stomach because he's too serious.

But there's one more thing that bothered me about my current words.

"From Azrite?

Unlike Elizabeth, I call Azrite without honor.

This was originally understood by Azrite, and once again Azrite herself has allowed me to say "I don't mind" even where Liliana is.

"What does it say that Azrite takes precedence, albeit temporarily, over her sister's escort?

"... excuse me. You can't talk out of my sight."

Apparently, it was a story of some kind of conflict with confidentiality.

"But there is another order I have received from Your Highness. That's something you can tell Ray and the others."

"To us?

"Yes. 'I want you to look for either Ray or Barbaroy Bad Byrne within this week and bring him to the castle,' he said."

"... Huh?

Me and the seniors in the castle?

"That's, how come again?

Not only me, but seniors, I'm not sure.

Though we have met face-to-face at Calcellatan, those two are......

"Her Royal Highness wants to ask you both to do something."

Shortly after such Liliana's words,

"... there are signs of trouble."

Nemesis has been reading words like he asked when.

Liliana took us up to the castle, and we are immediately led to the First Princess's office.

Upon entering the room with permission, Azrite was working on her own desk.

The number of materials piled up before her tells the story of her busyness.

... Well, that would also accumulate work because the First Princess, who is at the heart of the current kingdom's politics, was away from the King's capital for a while to go to Carcellatan.

It's been three days, Ray.

"Oh.... work, sounds tough"

"Yeah. Something I'll be away from Wang Du again tomorrow. I have to do my job now."

"... right"

This masked swordsman, where are you going to stick your neck this time?

Well, that said, Azrite is not dressed in swordsman style today, but rather in civilian style.

In addition......

"You're not wearing a mask today."

"... that's what you're wearing to hide your identity, so you wouldn't have to wear it at the Royal Castle, would you?

Indeed. Don't make it more of a problem to hide being the First Princess here.

"So what's going on? I'm talking about a request."

"Yes. Request an escort to Gideon. You're going back to Gideon, aren't you?

"Oh. I'm going to."

While returning from Calcherathan to King's Capital, he was telling me that my hometown was Gideon, so the King's Capital would soon leave and return to you.

But Azrite's request to escort...

"I have no objection to taking it, but Azrite has an escort?

Azrite is clearly stronger than me.

On the contrary, it is equivalent to, or strong enough to line up.

Maybe I simulated it scattered [Demon General] 'Cause Azrite has a straight shot at winning.

"I'm not the only one on my way to Gideon this time, I have company. And the person accompanying you is the Master's escort. So I thought I'd put on a < master > escort to match them..."

Azrite mumbled a little there.

"How dare you and Barbaroy, that parasite, and the escort over there..."

Well, I've avoided < master > before, so it will be.

By the way, even if the response to < Master > changes, the feminized seniors seem to be fixed by parasitic calling.

I think I heard an "awful wow" fantasy from somewhere.

"Oh, speaking of which, you said you knew the other escort."

"Do you know him?"

"[Undead Immortal] Xuan Yu"

Oh, you mean Xuan Yu.

Then I do know him, and he is one of those who got his archery done in Gideon.

"... hmm?

Who's Xunyu escorting?

That's...

"... hey, this escort request."

"Like I said, there are two people to be escorted. Me and Prince Tsanrong of the Yellow River."

... That's the guy who would be a diplomatic issue if anything happened.

"As I said earlier, I don't have a handover. And someone I can trust enough to make a request with, so far, it's about you."

"Is that... thank you?

"Thank you very much. So you and I... we'll send that Barbaroy a request for an escort."

I don't know because I didn't have a choice.

But the seniors... what do you think?

'Cause seniors and azulite...

"Can you get in touch? I told Liliana to look for one because I thought it would pass to both."

"I can..."

I've been given my phone address.

"Yes, then I'll ask you. I want you to tell me this." Request for escort to Gideon. The escort is me and the Third Prince of the Yellow River. The escorts are you, Ray and Liliana, plus four [autopsy immortals] Xuan Yu. Rent your dragon car and head to Gideon '"

Azrite cut the words there,

"'If you haven't forgotten about the blockade of the King's Capital, I won't let you say no.'"

My spine sounded like a zombie, and I gave a message to the seniors.

In conclusion, the senior logged in shortly after I called him in real life... and took on the request.

Thus begins the journey to Gideon by a strange party.

...... Quest, start.
