＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Needless to say, the Central Grand Arena and each of the Twelve Arenas are important in this Gideon.

It is the origin of the name of the dueling city, and there seems to be no other case of a total of thirteen dueling junction facilities in one city.

The stalls of the city itself called Gideon. Normally, it's impossible for a lord to let this go.

But the Count says. "As a result of the overlap of two reasons when it comes to the eighth arena, I don't mind letting go," he said.

The first reason is still poor location.

There were no problems when this Gideon was an urban state or hundreds of years after its founding.

But over time, this Eighth Street had become an insecure area. They were naturally so when the Earl noticed some generations ago.

That's how the average person avoided this Eighth Avenue, and the city brought together outlaws and grey-zone humans (the Girls Guild and the Bandit Guild also fall into this category), and the Eighth Arena started to sound like idle birds.

The fact that the Eighth Street atmosphere was not stained and that the Eighth Arena continued to be a clean publicly owned establishment is also a factor in this. Eighth Street residents began to prefer more radical underground gambling, with the result that guests' feet moved away from the interior and exterior of Eighth Street, and no spectator matches became uncommon.

Even so, maintenance costs such as regular inspection and repair of junction equipment are also very expensive to request from experts. Revenue deficits are good, including repairs and cleaning of facilities.

Still, if this was all I could say, it would have been painfully done with about a deficit (...). Because it was far enough to pay in other arenas.

But that's where the second reason strikes.

The second reason is the dramatic decline in the number of players playing games in the arena and in the audience throughout Gideon.

That [Gloria] incident and the war ahead reduced the number of people fighting in the arena, whether Tian is a master or not. One reason is the leakage of Rankers I've heard before.

Nature and entertainment will be reduced if there are fewer players to turn the entertainment of the arena. The further displacement of wealthy residents to other countries, and the entire kingdom economy, is also beginning to cool down.

Daily entertainment will not be full unless it is a breakthrough event called Super Clash or a battle between top rankers.

Even including rentals for mock warfare, the use of the arena decreased, among other things, the eighth arena has no users in a circle.

After overlapping overall income reductions, the eighth arena's operating deficit recorded the worst.

At this point, the Count began to think about letting go of the Eighth Arena.

At the moment I can turn it around fine with the money the Count Gideon family has accumulated so far, but that's not infinite either. There is also consumption in rewards, etc. We want to reduce the deficit.

So the Eighth Arena, which cannot be used for entertainment, also thought about stopping at the Royal Family and using it as a training facility for the Knights. However... I was hesitant to give up the property on Eighth Avenue, which is called "Bad Street" to the Royal Family on the boulder.

Then I thought about finding a place to sell it. Even if the location is bad, the arena is the arena. The more powerful clans and organizations you should want, the more hands you can get out of your throat.

However, the number one clan, the Moon Sessions, was out of the question.

The Count also knows how to interact with the royal family. The Count had concerns that he might grow roots from the vicious Eighth Street and take over the whole Gideon.

If so, the Duel Ranker will also be enrolled. … In the first place, I came to the conclusion that selling to PK clans is more ethical than selling to religious groups.

The former giant clan, the Babylonian Combat Regiment, has already shrunk its activities, and the fan club's collective, the AETL Coalition, will not leave the King's Capital where the princesses are.

Eighth Arena can only be a liability if you have it, and you can't find someone to sell it to.

The Count, who was on his way, found a new candidate for sale though.

Well, in short, it's us.

The fact that < Death Period > began his search for a home base in Gideon was an opportunity for the Count.

The Count said that he is the second leading clan in the kingdom, a trusted opponent, and has no problem in this eighth street. He may also have a purifying effect by being scared rather, and Mr. Figaro, the dueling king, will also be enrolled, so there is no trouble with training arena facilities.

And an estimate that if the clan was unprecedented in a kingdom where all four are enrolled, there would definitely be a purchase budget, and maintenance costs would be cleared.

In short, from the Count's point of view, it was a seller with no more.

Incidentally, the price offered is LIR 15 billion for purchase and LIR 500 million per year for lease.

"'... surprisingly cheap'"

"" Yeah!?

Me and my brother's words were hammered, and even more Io and Fuji's words were hammered there.

... but I unexpectedly realized the madness of my sense of money in the words "surprisingly cheap" that came out of my mouth.

I guess that and this is because my brother will scatter billions of lils in one fight, even if it's just the armor I'm wearing right now.

But still, bought on boulders is tough. Whatever your brother or Mr. Figaro's assets are, you won't even be able to buy them in clans on boulders right now.

Conversely, rentals can borrow just my pocket money (800 million lil) for the first year.

Incidentally, the price offered is kept fairly low by the Count as well.

Because historical and functional value is high in digits, but it is still poorly located, and it is an aging property, with origami.

But it's pretty good as our home base. In addition to the conditions you are looking for, you also have + α in place.

First, there are 'private rooms'. This eighth arena also has box seats and is well equipped, including air conditioning. If you put furniture, you can have rooms close to luxury hotels.

The number of booths in the box seat in the Eighth Arena is one and two. Even if Mr. Figaro and Mr. Hannya think about living in Mr. Figaro's house, they are in full swing.

It is not enough to have more members later, but at that time it is the Count's valve that you can use other rooms, such as the holding room, or renovate them. They don't even need a deposit gratuity.

There is also the 'Baths' that the women wanted. Arena...... Due to the bending sports facilities, there are baths where large numbers of people can use them at once and sweat. Besides, it was properly divided between men and women.

Io and the others said, "If you clean it, you pass!" That's right.

Then the 'meeting room' also normally existed as a meeting room. Apparently, it was a room for the staff of the arena to hold a meeting.

Needless to say, Luke and Xia's desired 'Space for Monsters'. The size of the arena, which also supports the Battle Royal competition, comes with origami.

There is naturally also the 'cafeteria' that Nemesis has been claiming. But Mr. Cock isn't here, so I'm gonna need to hire him or self-cater.

And unexpectedly...... there was also a 'pool'.

As in the case of the Colosseum in Rome, there was also an optional mechanism in this eighth arena to change the arena stage for water sports.

Regardless, it is costly to store water, but the drainage facilities are also solid. (The idle bird rang and I haven't used it for a while, so I need to check it first.)

After completing all of our conditions (ignoring the "popcorn factory"), there is a junction facility as a further + α.

There is a duel line at our home.

This advantage is awesome. You will be free to test a variety of combat techniques and new skills, and you will be able to simulate battles without worrying about time.

It is possible without the eyes of others. This advantage may be greater than I think.

Therefore, if you are looking for a home base in Gideon, no more properties probably exist. It could be described as a miracle that it was on sale.

The only problem is the amount.

"Is it the same amount as the purchase price for 30 years of lease...... what do you think?

"About ten years after triple time consideration. It's more likely that you won't leave, so it's cheaper to buy a bear. But now it's hard to squeeze the purchase money, Bear. '

"I don't know... It's a big buy, should I take it back once and talk to everyone who's not here now..."

As of yesterday's meeting, I'm in charge, but it's still important...

"What? If you pay for the lease in the first year and aim to buy after the following year, yeah, no?

Oh. You have those hands, too.

Both my brother, who can only turn the funds around to prepare for the battle, and Mr. Figaro, whose money is depleted, will be able to make billions as long as his Gotagotta with the Empire is over and time can.

"If the kingdom disappears within a year after I bought it hard, I can't even get my eyes on it. Renting for a year doesn't really hurt my nostrils."

"It won't be stylish and it won't be funny. ……………………… hey"

Talk that far, then I turn to a familiar voice.

"Heh."

If you realize it...... there was a monster behind it and it was caught in conversation.

You know, I'm a senior feminized student.

"... you're out, bitch."

"Come out, male bear."

... You were like this when you first met me.

How do you really... Oh, okay.

…………

I pointed my left hand [armor] at my own shadow.

Then a pioily shadow popped out of my shadow.

The shadow that jumped out of the shadows, as soon as he landed, corrected his posture and thanked him for turning to me.

"... Senior Lunar Shadow"

You know this one too. I'm a senior female sculptor and a senior moonshadow.

"Hello, you're quicker to guess"

I figured. I don't know if they will one day, but there was a moonshadow senior diving into my shadow again.

That too, this time with the feminized seniors.

Or maybe that's what happened when we first met.

"... so why are you two here?

"Ray, I just tailed you because I saw the Yans?

"Don't dive into people's shadows for whatever reason you see them! Why are you in Gideon in the first place!

"Hmm? Well, I decided to come to Gideon to take part in the tournament. We all came here to recruit people who wanted to."

... Indeed. Think about it, 'cause naturally I'm eligible to participate.

But......

"... you have to sign a contract to participate, right?

It won't be a match to finally come back and fit in.

"Well, if you don't want a second prize, you don't have to join the war. Yeah, I won't. So, it's natural not to commit a crime without being conditioned. It's a clean religious group, right?

"... you kidnapped me before. And Azrite said," I've been terrorized. "

"What? As Ray Yan knows, it's a crime." "I don't care if you flirt with me."

... said that with a very upsetting face.

I don't know, but I'm also angry that you're in a better mood and fluffier tone than usual.

"... well, okay. If this prevents Moon Sessions from softening from inside the kingdom..."

"Huh? I brought him in as a combat member. He's not even a third, so two thirds are tied up, right? You can still hold a negotiating card from the shadows."

…………

That's what you do, this guy.

Then Azrite will call the parasite, too.

"By the way? Ray, you guys gonna buy this arena?

"I'm going to... what's wrong with that?

When I asked, the seniors laughed at Nimanima and said:

"I thought if I bought it, I'd get it. Threaten & Negotiated Count With That Hand..."

"Count. For now, please rent for a year. I'll pay the rent right away."

"Ah, yes. Thank you."

I felt strongly that I should not do this facility to the monster, and I immediately moved to a lease agreement with the Count.

Thus, the home of the Death Period was decided upon in the Eighth Arena.

Incidentally, Senior Feminized threw up a discarded dialogue and dispersed.

... What are you really doing here, that guy?

□ [Destroyer King] Shu Sterling

Soon after the female fox broke out (...), Reiji began packing her contract with the Count.

But when you think about it, you know, if the female fox really wanted to do it, she wouldn't have told us.

It's simply that I wanted to make fun of Ling Er, incite her, and push her back to decide to rent.

Even for the “tournament," he said there would be no moonshadow... but in short, the female fox herself would.

The female fox had declared far away that she was not willing to commit crimes in this kingdom.

"Whatever it is, now you have your home base."

Think about it, I can't believe I joined the clan and had my home base... I haven't done this since I got here.

A good friend of mine was indispensable, and I was invited.

Still, in the end, I didn't get anywhere until my brother Reiji started the clan.

Why hasn't he done so? All I can say is that the reason must have been a bad time.

Some time has passed since Infinite Dendrogram began, faster than usual for the world's Master to start clans with his people... because I was meeting with them.

I met with Humpty, with Theresia, and with him.

I guess this place was no longer just a game to me after meeting them.

So I'm sure he didn't come into any clan.

Ling Er's clan was the only exception.

"... it's been a long time since then"

Long ago, I threw three hypotheses at Humpty.

That this world was made that way from the beginning.

to be the result simulated by time acceleration.

And one more thing.

- Oh, that's a good line. Although these three are not enough.

That's what Humpty replied.

Humpty led me into scattered trouble, and I'll get the truth out of it, but I won't lie.

At this point, it was clear that this place was not normal.

I met Theresia, the [evil god], who then had a mechanism to end this world, and I also gained certainty.

Still, I stayed here, and I invited Ling Er.

Because I really wanted to make it happen.

What I've been thinking for a long time.

I'm sure this is the only place I can do that.

That's why... even though I was given a wish similar to mine.

…………

- Fight this me, to the end.

- This is who I am, who I am (...).

- Alternatives that vary depending on the vessel.

- Mine, the very essence, which is only the Shizuku of flesh.

- That's why for me to live...

- It has to be this me, the presence of me, and the opposite shu.

- To understand.

- It's tentative first life, but let's kill each other.

- Until the end.

"... I wonder how he's doing"

Worst enemy, friend, understandable, mirrored (Doppelgenger).

I often remember him these days for some reason.

It could be a bug reward.

Hanya said oh, but no wonder he came out of “prison” if he was.

He can do anything.

... like me in real life.

"... it's not just the behemoth, it's the boulder that's dealing with him."

Even at the stake of his life, one man is the limit.

… tentative first life, though.

"Brother, I've got a contract. We're all going to go buy furniture and stuff, but what about my brother?

"Ooh, Roger, Kumar."

It seems that the steps have been taken while I was stuck in my head.

"Ha-ha-ha, I'll take care of the luggage, Kumar. Overflowing STR roars Kumar '

"No, because I have an item box"

So, as usual, talking to Ling Er... I mixed up with Ling Er and his people.
