<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode XIV Memories

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

After entering into a contract with the Count, he also informed all the members of his decision to be based.

Was it still unexpected for everyone that the home base became an arena or, rarely, even Luke was very surprised?

Then I decided on each room, and each bought all the furniture for his room at the market on Fourth Street.

I'm setting up my own room now.

I also leave curtains, beds, table sets and other furniture in my room.

I will also put a large time-saved item box of the installation type that I purchased in the hope of Nemesis. Items that are bigger and harder to carry than the item boxes I usually use… for example, a substitute for keeping food at the same temperature and freshness.

It was expensive shopping, but I had a headache thinking about future food consumption more than that.

I also bought the translation item, so I called it "Extremely Small" and let it be attached to the little gal.

That little gal demanded my hair the first time she opened it, and now she's tickling the hair she cut and gave it to her.

... I used it because I also sold hair restoration potions, but this won't hurt my hair, will it?

"The furniture installation is complete. All you have to do is focus on tomorrow's tournament.

"I haven't been able to level up or do anything today because I've been crushed by my reward choices and my move to HQ."

Well, even if I only raised the level of junior rank for one day, it could have been water on a burning stone.

"It's a bump job."

"Hmm. Well, the“ tournament ”is a duel in the junction. Because it resets every single match, you can also use your reward weapon skills all you want. There will be wins."

You don't work for free, do you?

That's what the little gal who was eating his hair on the table said to Nemesis's words.

"Working for free?

"The Junction of Duels. There was no cost, and if you solve it, you lose the disadvantages after the subpoena, right?

"Oh. You know me well."

"Sharing Memories"

Speaking of which, could this guy check my memory like a nemesis?

I have a strong privacy memory, but it seems difficult to peek.

'Cause there won't have been a duel, no'

"Well, the cost you consumed and the broken items are back to normal,"

He said that [the Demon General] had taken advantage of it to assume the status of duel king.

……

... Think about it, I don't see how that works.

Gamely normal… the world of Infinite Dendrogram is made up of many laws.

Those laws...... Especially in principle, including energy preservation rules, how does that junction generate revenue and expenditure?

For example, what you're actually fighting for is a three-dimensional video simulation with five senses?

That's like this < Infinite Dendrogram > against Real......

But he's attacking like Xuan Yu hitting out of the junction... and there's something I don't know.

Thinking about it, there are many mysteries.

... For once, this eighth arena has become our home, and should we look at the opportunity and have someone look into it?

'Anyway, not in the arena. If you're gonna feed me about my fingers after I call you, I'll think about it...'

"... so I was wondering what the advantages would be to you if I bore the disadvantages. And you, too, the right to an appetite."

"You too, what do you mean! I'm not cannibalism!

"... You just got caught by a little gal trying to taste me, didn't you?

How did my buddies (main Weapon) become so edible?

"Oh man...... hmm?

I sighed at the words and actions of the two of them and looked down at the arena from the window in the room...... glass window facing the arena stage.

Totally sunset arena.

I recognize that audience...... but I saw something I hadn't seen much of.

That was my brother... but he seemed to be taking off his clothes.

…………

I was just wondering, and I decided to head over there.

Shortly before leaving the room, Nemesis tried to pinch the hair on the plate, and I saw him bitten by a little gal.

What are you doing, those guys...

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Destroyer King] Shu Sterling

It must have been because I remembered about Zex the other day.

It makes me think about this and the days that have gone by.

The air conditioning provided in [Handu Baa] to concentrate on his thoughts was also annoying, and he took off his clothes.

Normally, I don't take off my clothes outside.

But is being the home of the clan a slightly distracting factor?

The upper part of this arena is only open to appearance, but some mechanisms inhibit external visibility by adjusting the junction.

Including those points, it was a useful property.

…………

I close my eyes as I am blown by the natural winds that have entered through the junction.

Then the days before... I think of the people I've fought for who were different.

Man with the greatest magic power on earth relative in the desert, “the most powerful of magic".

- I'm the cup that lost what I should be given.

- My father wouldn't let me inherit anything.

- Because you feared me, you've turned the country into a republican system or something.

- To keep me from succeeding.

- Thanks to you, all my outlook has collapsed.

- Creation is far away (Far Atum).

- That's why I earn it myself in this world.

- You should be given yourself, everything.

- My wife said it would show me the way to go.

- Instead, I'll smash everything that holds back my wife's whereabouts.

- And my wife says.

- "Shu Sterling will soon be in our way," he said.

- Even in the earlier fight, your strength was felt.

- So now... let me measure your power directly, Shu.

A man with substandard moves encountered on the verge of getting a divine coat and leaving heaven and earth, “the most skillful".

- I have to use it.

- If you use it, these fingers that wave traditional moves will be gone.

- Stroke the skin, cut the meat, break the bones, and give it life.

- That's all it takes to be a workout.

- So if you use the things that live in the world of the table, you have to keep changing your domicile.

- That's very annoying.

- But here, there is no problem with using things that live in training.

- We're here because we can't lose the quality of our moves until we succeed someone.

- By the way, we were going to use the Kamui Forest god beast to live and test it.

- You defeated it. My workout opponent is gone.

- I think I should work out with you instead.

Beasts with the strongest flesh met in dueling cities and their Lord, the "strongest in physics".

- Then I don't mind. I wish I could fight you for pure power.

- So that's the final confirmation that you're not your pre-fight opponent.

- He's not even an enemy to be lightly killed... because he's just a pebble.

- You still deserved our enemy.

Looking back at my memories with the people I call “the strongest” … I sighed heavily.

Look back, think again.

"What do you think people are like?"

Nobody hates me or has grudges or anything like that.

Even so, there were too many guys trying to fight me.

Measurements, workouts, struggles... I don't mind the convenience of people.

The people called “strongest” etc. have too many head screws off.

Live in a world out of the word common sense up to and including Zex......

"No, only behemoth... would be decent in real life"

I think he's probably...

"That's unusual. I can't believe you're taking your clothes off, not even in battle."

Unexpectedly, thoughts are blocked by voices rang from side to side.

Turn around and there was my brother's... Reiji's appearance.

I didn't realize this time because I was immersed in thought.

"Think about it for a second. … made me want to hit the wind"

"Oh. You're not dressed like that, that. Nevertheless…"

"What's up?

"No, I'm supposed to be dressed normally right now, but it's kind of uncomfortable if I'm not a bear wearer..."

"Kumar told by someone I knew before that"

It was Rachel who said it.

Rachel... he's the one who's unscrewed, too.

Rather, in this case, should I say that it is uneven? The principle of his behavior...... I heard the dreams he had as a child, but the result of this < Infinite Dendrogram > misalignment with the specifications (...) is that horrible < Embrio >...... it doesn't get stylish because it's why Eden was born.

"So are you ready for tomorrow's“ tournament "?

"Well, I guess I'll just try. I'm just gonna bump into it all myself.... Gardranda says don't use it in duels."

"A self-conscious summoning monster or a highly intelligent Tame Monster."

"... the three guys at Luke's don't even seem to be like that."

There are also weaknesses that I fell in love with.

Well, Gardranda doesn't seem far either.

Apart from Ling Er realizing it herself, it has always been easy for people to favor her.

One of the consequences is the Amazonas case in South America.

... It was tough picking you up to South America. It was hard because there were so many different genres like your sister and master.

I heard your sister took Ling Er, and her mother fell hard.

It's weird first because my sister at the time went to South America on a part-time basis.

My current job is also an extension of that......

... I mean, I haven't asked your sister to give you back the transportation I used to pick you up yet.

"What's going on, brother?

"I just remembered a little back in the day, bear. More than that, Reiji. That's a different story, but you said you got some kind of weird axe?

"Oh. This is it."

That said, Reiji removed a one-handed axe covered in black cloth from the item box.

"I need you to show me a little bear"

"Oh."

handed to me. Look at that, feel the atmosphere,

- I waved my fist down.

My fist and a single-handed axe clash echo in the audience.

"Nah!?

When I saw it, Lingji, who looked up to me, gave a strange voice.

But... clearly, I was the one who wanted to look up to you.

"... I see"

Half convinced, half stunned.

Convinced by the atmosphere that 'I thought that might be a substitute'.

Relative to that - the consternation that 'my full blow will not allow me to enter a single (...)'.

If it's my best shot, I can smash it with mythical metal. It was also included in Fatum's "Ultra Hard Artifact" that mythical metal was compressed and generated. (I used the Bulder at the time)

Even if I have special defense skills, if my endurance falls below my Attack, I will be able to use my Destruction Authority.

I mean, this one-handed axe is obviously made with more strength than my offense.

Or maybe it won't hurt me to use my Baldor's special skills right now.

"What the hell is going on all of a sudden!?

Ling Er, who panicked, took an axe from my hand and held it.

"No, joke Kumar. I'm not serious, Kumar."

Actually, it was all I could do.

But this axe, which cannot be broken by my blow, is partially missing.

It was also a matter of concern what the hell I was missing from dealing with.

"In the meantime, I think it's pretty sturdy, so it also operates as a worst shield (...) Bear"

Than...... I can't imagine what would happen when I waved it as a weapon (...).

"Ha... Well, either way, I can't equip you because I haven't even de-cursed you yet. I don't care if it's bad or bad."

"Ha-ha-ha."

It would be weirder not to.

"Phew, unlike when you're a bear, it's bad for your heart when you're acted out in that outfit without a thud. It reminds me of old games."

"... maybe"

Just a little bit, I think I'm going to remember the emotions of that time.

But then again, we danced.

"Then I'll go back to my room. Tomorrow's the tournament, and when you're in the right condition, it's a lot."

"Right."

"The outcome of the“ tournament ”from tomorrow will also change how much we can do in the battle against the Empire. I lost to [Beast King] and found out I was still underpowered... Good luck."

…………

After the “tournament" … there will be a war not far away.

I'm sure Tian also...... management AI like Humpty works that way.

So I'm sure it's the first time for Ling Er, and the second time for me......... No, the first time for me (...) < War > will soon happen.

"Brother?"

I wonder if I should tell Ling Er what I once was.

"... no, it's nothing Kumar. I'm taking my time off today, Kumar."

But in the end...... I didn't say anything.

"Oh, okay.... Now the bear's tail is tight in that outfit."

"Kumar"

That's how we had the conversation, as usual, and just dropped Ling Er's back off.

…………

It's an old story that worried me if I should talk.

Why I couldn't leave when I was at war with the Empire months ago.

That's only half the excuse, so I stopped talking.

It's an excuse, a regret.

That's... that's when me and Zex fought (...) to the end.
