＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

"Is it still clothes?"

"But wouldn't it be better to have protective gear when you think about the future?

We were visiting Fourth Street, lined up with shops, because Nemesis's idea was to buy my everyday clothes.

However, I had one problem choosing clothes to purchase.

It's a question of whether to buy it as a protective gear or as clothing.

Unlike real life in Dendro, clothing plays a role not only in fashion but also as a life-saving protective device in combat.

These kinds of protective equipment are highly corrected by equipment produced from monster drops, etc. However, because of its advantages, many clothes are boneless.

On the other hand, there are clothes as fashion, and there are many stylish variations there. However, most items are hard to use as protective equipment.

In other words, if you are thinking about wearing clothes and fighting in the future, it will be a choice between protective equipment and clothing if you narrow it down to fashion all over the city.

Conventional gear is good when you go to battle from the start, such as quests and dungeons, but it can also be a troubling case of accidental entry into battle throughout the city.

"... then I guess it's okay to stay like this?

"I'm sorry. As much as I remember how you and your lord reacted around the city."

It's hard to deny it when they do say it. The guards stopped me this morning.

I was worried about what was going on...

"Ah, Mr. Ray. Good morning!

"Is that it, Luke?

Luke, who was supposed to be dating Xia today from across the street, showed up.

Well, isn't it still waiting time?

"Luke. What's your date with Xia?

"That's... postponed until tomorrow"

"Deferred?"

When I heard the story, you said that Xia had caught a cold in real life and was in the middle of sleeping.

In fact, she had been suffering from it for a few days, but she managed to fix it by her date, but she couldn't.

But things are getting a little better, so tomorrow at this time... if they were feeling better after about half a day in real life, they would have had a date. If it is still not healed, it is postponed again.

Well, this will happen. In real life, there are no items or magic that can fix a state anomaly like this one.

Is that it? But back in the day, with someone my sister... well, I'm sure it's my fault.

"So my plans are vacant, so it's been a long time since I've been trying to show my face to a Fourth Street store or a Girl's Guild. What about Mr. Ray and the others?

"Oh. I've finished talking about yesterday. I usually shop now."

It's Ray's choice of clothes.

One case with Azrite also involves information that seems to be state secrets, so I can't talk to him on a business trip. My brother and seniors will also be exchanged for another opportunity.

And Luke didn't understand that either, and I'm not asking you here.

"Are you choosing clothes, I see!

Now "I see! I wonder what that means.

"I'm just convinced, so I have nothing else to say."

"Right...... But I'm a little worried about the clothes."

I talked to Luke about the issue of "prioritizing performance, prioritizing design, or staying put" when I went to buy clothes.

Then Luke tilted his neck and said:

"Shouldn't I just buy regular clothes and use accessories with" dressing change "skills?

"Dressing change"?

It was the first name of a skill I heard, so I asked Luke to parrot back.

According to Luke, "Dress Exchange" is a skill that allows you to tie what you are currently equipped with and the items in the item box and replace the gear.

Similar to "Instant Attachment" and "Instant Equipment", but that allows you to select and equip the items in the item box immediately, whereas this is an equipment exchange between the gear tied and paired.

It feels like you can replace the paired gear in bulk, but not change gear to suit the occasion instead.

Also, unlike Instant Attachment, it seems that there will be a waiting time of about a few seconds.

Therefore, "Instant Attachment" is preferred if you change gear as needed during battle, and "Dress Exchange" is preferred if you switch from non-combat gear to combat gear in preparation for battle.

For the record, "Instant Attachment" doesn't change when it comes to full-body bulk equipment, like my brother's clothing guru or senior's [iron shooting armor].

"They use it a lot to change the costumes of theatre."

"Heh."

Sounds like you could use it at a hero show or something.

Whatever it was, Luke solved the problem.

Decide to switch gear in the Dressing Exchange and buy clothes normally.

I was concerned about the time lag until the gear was changed, but I would be able to buy that much time with Counter Absorption and [Brooch].

We decided to go shopping at the clothes store, and we broke up with Luke about going to say hello to the Girls Guild.

◇

Well, I tried coming to the clothes store, but things in the store are not so different from the real clothes store.

There are magical lights and the store is bright, and many clothes hang on hangers.

There are also many variations. This would also have the pleasure of freely choosing clothes.

"Wow. Why do you keep picking up black and red when you're free to choose?

"... was unconscious"

I choose garments in those colors when I notice them. Maybe it's my preference.

However, if I put it together with the colors of that system, the current outfit and shade will be very different.

"Speaking of which, what about the armor? We need equipment to pair it up."

"I guess I'll equip myself with gloves or something and tie them up. Like this."

"… Lord. You just took a natural glove."

"... was unconscious"

In the end, the clothes were made into the clothes chosen by Nemesis.

It has good taste but is not too bizarre and seems just right for everyday use.

I also sold "Dress Exchange" skill accessories along with clothes in the store, so I bought them together.

He also went tied up, so if he goes into battle, he'll be able to get back into his original outfit as soon as possible.

So, my change of clothes is done.

"It's a decent outfit. Yeah, it's really decent. Decent..."

"Nemesis. Why are you calling me 'decent' with your crying face now?

"Your Lord will never know. I don't know how your lord feels standing beside you in any outfit!

I wouldn't have dressed weird if the one before was just a little black and scary and well-dressed.

"... Ray. Imagine the sight of yourself becoming a Chemomimi women's goggles."

"Why are you stuck with the top three outfits I hate? Just imagine, you're gonna have a stomachache."

"The vectors are different, but my hard work is similar."

"So much!?"

Why are you so mentally cornered, nemesis......, hmm?

"That's..."

During the conversation, a familiar dressed figure emerged from one of the shops facing the street.

That's a lion-like dressing goose.

I only saw it once in the modest room of the Central Grand Arena. That is Mr. Figaro's attire of patience.

Yes, the store - it was Mr. Figaro who came out of the accessories store.

Apparently it is after shopping.

"I wonder why you're already logged in. Plus, the accessory store?

If you look closely at its accessory store, the storefront sticker reads: "[lifesaving brooch] Special offer 4.8 million lil. Limited to ten."

I see, are you here to refill your gear?

The login appointment should have been tomorrow, but something will make the appointment quicker. The opposite is true of the story of Kasumi earlier.

"Oh, Ray, you."

"Hi, I'm out of time"

And you noticed what I was looking at, Mr. Figaro turned around and talked to me.

'You were back in Gideon. Is that outfit... a pity?' Cause you've become famous too. '

"Haha, well... that's the place"

After changing gear, I do feel less gaze to be directed at.

But I ask someone who's been patient with me since I wore the goose, "Are you being patient? Even if they say," I have a slight difficulty reacting.

"... uh, how did Mr. Figaro get here?

"Oh. I've got a little something to prepare for."

I thought it was a special [brooch]?

I think I'll buy it, too. It's a must have, and fortunately, I had extraordinary income yesterday.

And now it's better than that...

"Um, my brother told me you can't log in until tomorrow."

My brother also thinks that Mr. Figaro and Ms Hannya's login on the matter is tomorrow and should be ready to contain the damage......

'Oh. I finished the inspection a lot earlier than planned, so I thought I'd get ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow morning would have been nice, but it would have been an idea to prepare with this just before. Hey, speaking of which, have you heard from Shu about Hanya?

Nod to Mr. Figaro's inquiry.

"Yes. Uh... a guy named Hanya is coming to Gideon and we're supposed to meet tomorrow,"

"Yeah, that's what I'm doing."

Buying [Brooch] to Deactivate Lethal Damage, Ready?

I thought about it a little bit and I was convinced.

My brother tells me that Mr. Figaro is very excited about his duel with Ms Hannya.

However, Ms Hannya's < Super Embrio >, witnessed by her brother, is super huge, as much as a kilometre long. Even if Mr. Figaro is going to duel, there's no way he's going into the arena.

Then what would you do, say, "If you wear [brooch] outdoors and it breaks, you lose," could you only do a duel close to a wild game of heaven and earth ceremony?

... Mr. Figaro is totally getting ready for tomorrow's “duel”.

You're going to be here to “marry” me about that. Tell them... the sea of blood will be inevitable.

Oh already...... I can only hope that my brother will come up with some solution by tomorrow......

"- Figaro?"

I was thinking that way. From behind me, I heard a voice.

To that voice that reached my ear - for some reason my spine trembled with the chill.

Looking back, there she was... a normal woman.

A slightly habituated dark brown hair with a Japanese-style face and ready-made clothing equipment.

It has no particular noticeable characteristics, rather it is a plain range within the Master.

The blonde, angelic looking boy next door is so much more prominent.

But I feel it.

Intimidation like the one I once felt for my Xunyu opponent in the arena, and chills like the one I felt for my Cashmere opponent yesterday... the person had it.

Half certain.

She was the one that my brother saw as a problem, Ms Hannya.

Oh, naturally if you think about it.

If Mr. Figaro ever logs in early...... I guess that could have been the same thing for the other guy.

... why would you bowl it in here if you did that!!

'Isn't this situation... bad?

I synchronize with the words of Nemesis in my heart, but I can't move.

"Hey Hanya. Welcome to Gideon. You've finally met me."

While doing so, Mr. Figaro greeted him by turning his gear into something normal.

Even though it was for your patience, I took it off lightly.

... Speaking of which, I wonder why Ms Hannya figured it out when she was wearing a goose.

No way, did you find out in Mr. Figaro's voice?

In my brother's story, communication is communication only, and I only had a direct conversation once when I met him.

Besides, even though it was only once more than three years ago in this time?

... My spine shivered again.

"Figaro! I missed you!

Ms Hannya said so, hugging Mr Figaro.

It's too direct a courtship expression, but I hold it back without panicking to Mr. Figaro.

Oh, well. You're from Europe and America, aren't you, Mr. Figaro? It was as normal as a hug.

"Has it been about three years since we've met in person?

"Truth is, it's been so long already here. Hehe, we haven't changed each other's faces."

Mr. Figaro looks happy.

And Ms Hannya is smiling, too.

That in itself is a very heartwarming sight, but in my heart the alarm rings and not the other way around.

Brother, come quickly!

Or Xuan Yu...... even Senior Feminized Female!

"You look good."

You're right!

It's like we can't evacuate the front of a time bomb!

"Ray, I'll introduce you. She's my girlfriend Hanya and her sandal phone. Hanya, he's Shu's brother, my dueling buddy Ray. Next door is his nemesis."

"Well, of that dress-up. Your brother took care of me. Hanya, this way."

"Nice to meet you. It's me, Sandalphone."

"... Hi, I'm Ray Sterling"

They introduced me with no time to escape, so I returned the greeting.

... before that, if the battle between the two of us is to begin on this occasion, which way can we not escape because we must move to contain the damage around us?

When the damage expands, there's going to be a hole in the stomach of Azrite and Count Gideon.

"I'm a nemesis. It's a rare male version of Maiden."

"Yeah. I think it's unusual for me to have a female version of Apostol, too."

…………

…………

Nemesis, why are you airing like "I'm up against you" there?

"Figaro. Do we have time for this today?

After introducing herself, Ms Hannya invited Mr Figaro to dinner.

Ms. Figaro shook her head in response to her approach.

"Today...... sorry. I have somewhere to go after this."

Hilarious about the answer.

My concern that it will become a pull iron is that

"Yes, we were going to have dinner together, but we had no choice."

wiped out by Ms Hannya, who pulled it off really well.

There are no shards of how Ms Hannya will be dramatically elevated.

That's someone calmer than I assumed...

"But tomorrow I'd like to go around the festival with you if I have time. There's also a look at the ceremony."

... What did you say you looked down on?

But Mr. Figaro smiled and nodded, either he didn't hear the words or he didn't even care if he heard them.

"Fine. Let's go around together before lunch tomorrow. I was going to show Gideon around."

"Thanks! I'm looking forward to it now"

The air between them is very good. Ms Figaro continues to circumvent her approach, but there is also no way that Ms Hannya has distracted herself.

As it is, I want it to be over now without anything happening.

"I'm glad you're happy. Oh, yeah. Hanya."

And so on, when I thought...

"What could it be?

"I want you to fight me tomorrow."

Mr. Figaro sounded bright - dropping a bomb of words.
