＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

After that, although the killing of senior and Marie stopped, "you want to keep the black and white on even if you're going to throw a party," he decided to put Keri on in a mock fight in the arena.

I also thought I should see the battle between the two of them through, but I was held back by Cashmere, who had gotten lost earlier, saying, "I need to talk to Mr. Ray".

Apparently, I didn't happen to get lost earlier, but that I ran into that scene while searching for me or someone I knew.

Cashmere seemed to have some serious vibe, so I left you two to Luke. I'm talking to Cashmere across the street.

"So, what do you want from me?

When it comes to cashmere and my involvement, it's about the time of the attack by the werewolf cherry blossoms on the road to the village of Torne.

But about that, seniors would be better suited to talk than I am.

Then what the hell do you want to talk to me about...

"They knocked that [demon general] down the other day, didn't they?

"Oh."

Convinced of the question, "Are you talking about knocking him down?"

Even then, [General Demon] was the < Super > of the Empire, and he was number one in the duel then (now he fell to second place after losing to [Bandit King]).

Cashmere, the duel ranker, convinced me that you wanted to hear the story...

"That skill that defeated [the Demon General], how fast can you get it up to?

"Yeah?"

A few questions went in a different direction than I expected.

"I watched the video. I think that skill that stabbed Todome in [General Demon] is one that increases speed and power by charging... would it fit?

That skill, I guess, means "reward goes beyond the stars".

Apparently, the main story of Cashmere is not [General Demon], but "The reward goes beyond the stars".

"A little different. That takes charge time, but that's a charge to convert the damage taken from the opponent into power, range, and speed. So speed is proportional to the damage taken from the opponent"

I thought only a little about revealing what was in my hand, but I stepped on which path it would not take until the full story was revealed, and I decided to be honest with you.

"Maximum speed... I don't know. When I used it before the battle with [General Demon], I went as far as AGI 60,000 over. But that shouldn't be the highest speed."

…………

To my answer, Cashmere looked like an idea.

And bow your head to Pecori and me.

"Mr. Ray. Thank you. Thank you for answering my question until you revealed yourself. [M] Think of it as a loan to me."

"No, never mind. It'll be analyzed soon anyway."

"Still, it is. And, if you don't mind, may I ask you a favor?

"Please?"

"Sooner or later, when Ray's hands are free, I want you to use me and that skill to do a mock fight."

…………

I've done a lot of mock warfare with the Rankers, and there's nothing different about cashmere adding to that next time. There must be a lot to learn from Cashmere, the third place in the duel and the kingdom's strongest PK.

But what does "reward goes beyond the stars" mean?

"To put it this way, you may seem like a magnificent person... but I don't know anyone faster than I am today"

"..." the fastest in the kingdom, "was it?"

"Yes."

“At speed, no one goes over Cashmere in the kingdom".

That's what seniors have told me.

Even that Mr. Figaro is no match for Cashmere at speed, he said.

"But you can't train yourself to slash something faster than you, to slay something slower than you."

"... I see"

Generally, I can read the story.

"Reward Beyond the Stars" increases speed in proportion to the damage taken from the target.

In other words, if you manage to accumulate enormous damage before letting it go, it might even surpass the "fastest in the kingdom” cashmere.

I guess Cashmere is relative to that and wants to grasp something new.

The [God] series, including Cashmere's [Drawer God], may also be involved in being able to create skills.

Well, as far as I'm concerned...

"Humph. I mean, is the role being sought after like a pitching machine in a batting center?

"Ah. Uh... I'm sorry!

Cashmere bowed her head to the words of Nemesis, where there were thorns somewhere, that she thought she was offended by what she had said.

It's just that Nemesis is actually looking mucky.

"Nemesis?"

"It's Ray. Now think about it. If you want to give this guy the speed he wants... Lord, how much are you going to chop him up?"

"... uh"

Indeed, there was that problem before releasing the fastest "payback".

Besides, to tell me that you're bringing this story to me, Cashmere should be faster than Mr. Figaro or Mr. Xuan Yu.

It is also possible that the amount of damage accumulated exceeds one million.

"By the way, how many cashmere AGIs?

"AGI is 5000"

Is that it? Later than I thought......,

"So it's up to half a million."

... Kukuya!?

What is that crazy speed!?

What do you mean it's a hundred times different!?

"... if we exceed that speed with our skills, we need to eat five million dollars first."

"Ahhh... I can't seem to"

Even HP today counts dying hundreds of times.

How long does it take to prepare even if you scrape and recover?

"I give up because it's bad to keep slashing so much..."

"Uh, do that"

It's tough for me to get slashed to that point by a boulder, too. It's going to be like an onion trout.

◇

No more cashmere requests, but that meant we'd do a mock fight next time.

He also decided to have a public talk with Cashmere until the three of them who went to the mock fight afterwards returned.

I thought I'd go watch it, but I hadn't asked where I was going to do a mock fight in the arena, and there's something about it that made me kind of afraid to watch it.

".................. hmm"

Well, I was talking to Cashmere, and even more so, I've noticed.

Cashmere's weapon is a machete connected by a chain that mimics the skull of a raven and the head of a raven.

Two slices today, both of which have ravioli skulls biting.

Those lengths are ten centimeters longer than Cashmere's own height. Obviously it doesn't suit Cashmere's age or smaller physique than that.

Well, Cashmere's job is [Battousai]. They say it's a job that specializes in living slaughter, but with a machete like this, whether you're an adult or not, you can't cut off living.

I wonder how the hell you're pulling a knife.

"Um, what's wrong with my knife?

That's what Cashmere asked me when you wondered about me watching the giant machete.

"I was wondering how we'd get along."

"That's what you all say."

They still questioned anyone but me the same way.

but the cashmere response that followed was still a little off.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm pulling it out so that it's easy to pull it out, but I can't seem to see it even when I demonstrate it..."

"Can't you see?

"Seems to be the difference between AGIs"

… half a million. If that speed, which is not ashamed of the two names “kingdom fastest”, it may also be impossible to see.

"Earlier, he said it was usually the best AGI."

"It's the effect of the Divine Battousai. This is the passive depths of [Battousai], where the AGI is 100 times higher only during the Battousai motion. Oh, AGI that gets doubled doesn't include gear correction. It's just a calculation of my status."

"Well, when you can do that, AGI's like a million or something."

But I see. The master of living says he doesn't know when he pulled the knife out, but is that like an extreme skill?

I guess I'll slash and throw away what's in time to guess, in an instant, by the mutiny.

It's a scary skill, but at the same time I felt like I was not compatible with Tom, as I had heard for a long time.

I guess I can't erase Tom, who has eight people, because once I pull it out, it's over.

"I know I'm too fast to see the scene where you're pulling a knife. But that, and how are you pulling the knife out? Well, your hands aren't long enough to pull out a machete, are they?

Cashmere nods cocklessly at my question and stands out of the chair.

"Right. I can show it to you before I pull it out, so I'll demonstrate it."

When Cashmere said so, he took his place.

That seemed to be a knife extraction scheme, but it was an incredible one.

The left hand, which should grab the sheath with a knife extraction technique, remains floating in the universe, with only the right hand holding the knife pattern.

I can't do a knife extraction or anything with this, when I think so.

The chain that connected the cashmere's hips to the knife moves independently.

A holder mimicking the skull of a razor floats in the universe with the sheath of a machete in place.

That was as if the chain would substitute the action of 'having a sheath of swords' that the left arm should have done.

"This is..."

"This is the first time you've seen Mr. Ray. This is my Enbrio, Inaba."

Inaba... the White Raspberry of Inaba, or the Vegan Raspberry of Inaba?

The long stretching chain secures the machete in the air in the naked state.

That seems to be the perfect position for Cashmere to pull a knife out with her right hand.

"of the chain... No, of the auxiliary arm (...)"

"Yes."

The question was solved a little.

As a cashmere child, this chain is the answer to the question of his small physique and whether he can have a knife extraction with both short hands.

If this assists with knife extraction, even if it is a child's physique, a knife extraction technique is established.

Cashmere's structure is very much what went into the hall, except for the heterogeneity that chains represent one arm.

There is so much intimidation in the set-up of the blade extraction technique that I don't think a young child is doing it.

Standing in front of me, I have a feeling my neck might be falling at the next moment... enough to sound the alarm of survival instincts.

I'm sure that's what seniors and Marie thought earlier.

"Thanks. Now I know how you're pulling a knife."

"Yes, I'm glad you solved Mr. Ray's question."

That said, when Cashmere untied the erection, the air stranded around him as soon as possible relaxed.

Maybe there was a guy called Master Kenzi.

Cashmere, why are you a master when you're only in elementary school?

... Well, it's Dendro who has quite a few tons of demonstrators, regardless of age or anything.

"By the way, I ask you with curiosity, are those two machetes a perk weapon?

The two machetes, the red sheath and the blue sheath, with cashmere on their hips, emit an odd presence.

Especially if you're in the red sheath, it's close to what it feels like when you see Mr. Figaro's [Gloria alpha] or Xun Yu's [Sulin E].

If the chains are, are these machetes a perk weapon?

"This wave is true, but this one was hit by a familiar blacksmith when we were in heaven and earth."

Cashmere says the former is the red sheath and the latter is the blue sheath.

"It's made of mythical metal, and this one is reliable and treasured in duels."

With the blue sheath, Cashmere said so Nico.

But there's one thing that bothers me about that word.

"Is the red sheath different?

The way Cashmere put it, the red sheath is unreliable and doesn't sound like it's treasured in a duel.

"This one... when you use it in a duel with connections, you're in a bad mood."

... Is that, like, a sword of intent or something?

So-called demonic swordsmanship?

I wonder if it's the same type as the [armor]. That one doesn't say anything now either, but is there a will on the inside?

Speaking of which, we were similar.

"So tonight's game with Tom..."

"I don't use the red one...... no, I can't. I can't help it because it's a real life takeover, or at least a knife that won't pull me out unless it's a field match with the Master."

What a bloody stinking knife......

"But I can't take care of it..."

Or maybe slashing creatures will be the best maintenance. It's a demon knife.

"No. I usually pull it out when I take care of it. Like this."

Cashmere removes Japanese paper and oil bumps that look like maintenance tools from the item box, and batter powder (that pumps into a knife in a time play, etc.).

Then the red sheathed machete naturally slipped out and revealed herself.

…………

I thought it was a demon knife. It was a cash knife.

I feel like a demon knife and intimidating stuff, and the brand "Doom Maru" in my body looks good, but it no longer just looked like a pet or something that could be fed.

◇

Then we had enough public talk, and Cashmere took a seat.

"Now that it's time to go to the arena, it's time for me to free up. Thank you for talking to me today."

"Respond. I'm looking forward to the duel with Mr. Tom. And the next mock fight."

"Yes! Thank you then!

Cashmere says so and laughs nicely.

Yeah, year-to-year...... I think he's more of an honest, cute kid.

... Although there was a lot of strangeness in the killing and swordsmanship of the first time I broke in.

"I'd like to ask you one last time. Is it about creating skills that you want to mock with someone faster than you?

"Yes."

"Do you mean to create skills that excel at speed and confront that Tom?"

But Cashmere has lost to Tom several times before, and the reason for this should have been Tom's Cat Eight Colors (Grimalkin).

An amazing skill that increases to eight when Tom the Eight remains in one piece.

They have no means of crushing it in cashmere and have suffered defeats many times before.

So it seems that trying to braid skills to combat it is actually a training, but...?

No, you're not, Nemesis.

Before the conversation started, Cashmere said that it was only when my hands were free that I would play a mock battle using "Retribution Beyond the Stars".

So creating speed skills isn't to counter Tom.

"It's a little different, Mr. Nemesis. That's not why I want to create skills that excel at speed"

"Really?"

Was it different after all?

And I knitted you out.

"Huh?"

When we come up with a question mark,

"The calculation for dropping the eight necks of the Fumikata Mansion... is already on."

There was no particular look I felt, and with the same ease as saying "I bought the ingredients for dinner"...... Cashmere had declared her own victory in today's duel.

But casual words yet the signs......

"I'll show you that skill in today's game. If you can't see, I'm sorry."

Saying so, he bowed his head, and Cashmere left the place.

That back belongs to a little kid.

…………

But mixed up in that moment when you said you had a math to take down Mr. Tom, intimidation.

That resembles the Xun Yu encountered before that < super clash >... but with sharpness it was such a heterogeneous sign that it exceeded.

"... really, there are tons of demonstrable kids in the world"

"... at all"

As Nemesis spoke, I exhaled slowly to relieve my nervousness.
