＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

Sandy Luxury Passenger Ship [Eltram].

A large, sandy ship that goes around Cardina, a new shipbuilding that has just taken office.

It is primarily a ship to provide a safe and comfortable journey for wealthy passengers, with casinos, shopping malls and even swimming pools and theatres on board.

Reminds me of a real ship I used on a family vacation when I was a kid.

… the ship sank in an accident a few months after we used it for our trip.

At the time it felt like it even sank into memories, something that made me sad.

However, there are two things that make this [Eltram] very different from the passenger ship it was then.

First of all, it's not the blue sea that spreads out the window, it's the white desert.

It's an unlikely sight in real life, so watching the view outside is pretty impactful.

And what you see when you see your gaze on the side of the hull is more of a difference than going on the sand in a way.

On the side, there's a line of slacks and cannons.

... I guess it's something to prepare for the approaching of desert monsters, including worms.

Because it's a world with monsters that aren't in real life, even passenger ships needed that measure.

Additionally, there are many armed sand boards side-by-side to escort them.

Heavy armaments are essential for a safe and comfortable journey (...) in this < Infinite Dendrogram >.

"You wouldn't have the flair, would you?

The voice of the attendant (...) drew my consciousness back indoors, which had been taken by the view outside.

This is the lookout restaurant within the [Eltram], the best seat of all.

I'm in a meeting with someone who invited me and Cuco aboard to "eat first before we talk about work".

Yes, with [Prodigal King] Mr. Manigold.

"... right. Will the people travelling on this ship rest in their hearts?

"I thought Tian would rest. It is everyday for them to have a monster who eats people from birth. Our understanding of the need to protect ourselves is not our comparison. Instead, don't you rest your heart enough to line up the cannons?

... Indeed. Is it unusual for us or everyday for Tian?

"But it's not a plus for us. Even if the flavour of the dish remains the same, it fades the mind that feels delicious. Next."

'Meals worse,' Mr. Manigold said, flattening a meat dish that looked fancy and urging his next plate.

"The cock on this ship isn't super, but it doesn't taste so bad. Sometimes cooking is difficult to influence."

"Really?

"The" Cuisine "of Sense Skills can be cooked with the flavor of the person who makes it, with a degree of completeness depending on his skill level. So in the end it depends on the taste of the person. No matter how skill level you have if you make taste tone deafness, it shouldn't taste good. And with skill, you can make delicious meals without skills. Our Isala dishes are a big deal."

"It's an honor to compliment you."

When Mr. Manigold said so, the Tian woman - Isala - said that she was the escort of Mr. Manigold standing behind her.

"I see..."

"Most importantly, there are no exceptions like the owner for culinary skills... Next"

With that said, Mr. Manigold quickly emptied his next plate as well.

The mystery is that the words are not cloudy at all while eating and there is no chewing noise.

"Hmm. Doesn't look like the spoon's progressing, but was it also a bad ingredient? I was told by that porn freak that he was a vegetarian and a predator who only ate white."

"Yes, no. It's delicious. I'm just... overwhelmed."

Overwhelmed, of course, is Mr. Manigold's abundance of food.

I've seen the Nemesis dining landscape before, but it's comparable to that one.

At that time, I was able to say, 'It's Maiden's eating habit,' but Mr. Manigold was not a master.

However, it is very different from the < master > we have seen so far.

What does Mr. Manigold look like, say......

"Too hard fat (...)"

"Yes, very obese (...)...... is cuco!?

When did you curse Dostraight? Now!?

This guy is my employer. What is it?

"Hmm. Too fat to eat. There's no denying it. What do you think, Isara?"

"Yes. The Lord is a healthy family."

"... why is it more hooked if you're polite"

But there was no Cuco's poisonous tongue or how he cared, and Mr. Manigold had such a conversation with Isala behind him.

... In fact, he was obese.

The height, not even high, is swelling back, forth, left, and right.

Especially the abdomen looks like it's holding a ball... or the torso looks like a ball.

The habit, the face, is beautifully shaped.

I don't know what to say... it feels like 'I normally made a beauty avatar but then I gained weight'.

"Um, what does that look like... in the making?

Sometimes people start out looking like Mohicans and stuff, and me and my sister do it real far apart though......

"Hehe, no. Be careful. This is what happens when you're not even despena after eating too much beyond your limits. Besides me, I've never seen a guy fat enough for Avatar to be this big, and I'm not fat enough to want to verify it."

... Let's be careful.

Let's be teachers on the other side of another vector with the master.

"But the opposite seems to be true, you can enjoy your meal in Dendro as much as you want. Unlike real life, bulimia is not life-threatening. Even if you break your body and die, if you go back from Despena, you're healthy. Well, I'm not dying for a diet."

…………

Is that how you think too......

"Finally, in Dendro, you can hold your mistress all you want"

"Huh?"

"No matter how many rear fingers they point at here, it doesn't hurt or itch in real life. And this is the one where I meet more beautiful women. I have many mistresses, too. I especially like Isara."

"Hehe. How many does the Lord say that to?

That's what Mr. Manigold says and sees Mr. Isala.

...... ahh. That's the relationship, these two.

"Sakubushi"

"So it's too straightforward, Cuco!

I'm thrilled with Cuco, who again skipped a direct curse while pointing to Mr. Manigold.

But Mr. Manigold doesn't look like he cared at all.

"Anyway, I'm a monster. He's like a man wandering off a delicious meal, drinking expensive liquor to the fullest, and doing a dendro with a beautiful woman. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I have as much money as I can get for it. There's as much money as there is."

…………

[Prodigal King] Manigold.

His real name is "The Man Who Makes the Most Wealth with Infinite Dendrogram".

I guess both the meal in this restaurant and the relationship with the mistress that there are many of them, including Mr. Isala, are due to that property.

Nevertheless, I've never seen anyone so dignified.

... I think even my father would have taken care of it a little more.

"... without the RMT ban, even a little more in real life..."

... Something's blurry about Sonya and the opposite.

Is Mr. Manigold trying to get back on his mind, or he started vacating the dishes of cooking again.

"Hungry porn fat"

"I don't know. By the way, did you say Cuco? Wouldn't you like to be mistress? Negotiations starting at 10 million a month."

"Don't invite people's < Embrio > in a pathetic direction!?

Let's not take it and say bomb!?

Even that Cuco is frightened and stiff!?

"Is it Loricon!? Is it Loricon?!?

"Age has nothing to do with beauty. More importantly, I don't think the race has anything to do with it either. It doesn't have to be limited to Legendarians or, in some cases, human beings."

Aren't you being too sexually exposed grand!?

"Isn't it really Legendary's < super > you!?

"Say stupid. Do you ever get side-by-side with that pervert?"

... In me, Legendary's perverted hurdle goes up so much.

Speaking of which, my master said the same thing...

"... could that be how you relate to your master...?

That guy, he looks good, both male and female...

"... ha?

But contrary to my expectations, Mr. Manigold looked very nasty (...) face.

"... I also have the right to choose. I just imagined being with such a pornographic idiot..."

…………

Oh, okay.

My master said a lot about Mr. Manigold about 'personality issues,' but... these two are totally homophobic.

I'm almost the same type of person in terms of sexuality, this...

"Ah. Unlike him, I reject same-sex. So there's no mistress contract with you."

"I won't ask you!?

Are you more decent than your master or not......!!

◇

The meal that keeps me donning to such remarks is over, and now I'm drinking tea after the meal.

Cuco also recovered from a stiff state and was now drinking drinks like Lassie.

"Well, it's time to get to the bottom of this. Even so, I have two things to do."

"Two?"

"You've heard from AR I CA that part-time work and then we have a business meeting."

What's a business deal?

"We're talking about part-time work first. The job description is my escort."

"Escort?"

... but hire me as an escort?

"Do you need it?

"Even if there is. I'm part of Sephiroto, but in combat, it's faster to count from the bottom, just like that pornographic idiot."

He said it was quicker to count from below... that master too?

"Especially poor in status. I can't keep up with supersonic manoeuvre fights or anything, and they're gonna kill me fast. That's why Isara, a super fighter, is my escort and mistress."

"Hehe, right"

Mr. Isala nods with a smile at Mr. Manigold's remarks.

Battle Super Position...... Well, if Mr. Manigold is a non-combatant, is someone like Mr. Isala the best person to escort him?

Unlike the Master, Tian has always been in this world.

"But then I knew I didn't have to be an extra escort..."

"Actually, I'll handle the example beads on this ship."

Beads.

Needless to say, that's that bead that sealed < UBM >.

In Cortana, a giant monster has been feathered around the city. Um...

"There is a person who accidentally got the bead and is supposed to do business talks here to give way from that person. Well, in the last incident in Cortana, causality is unknown, but [Murder Princess] was in Cortana, I hear."

"Yes......"

[Murder Princess] Emily.

Immortal.

For some reason...... the girl who was repeatedly murdered.

Every time I remember her, I say, 'Why?', the thought springs up in my chest.

Why, she...

"Are you all right?

"... Yes"

Mr. Manigold cares for me when I think of Emily.

... This guy must be decent except for the fact that he's carnivorous and overly stuffy.

"Then move on. If there is a bead, it is possible that [Murder Princess] and his companions will come out this time as well as Cortana. I've heard stories about that immortality, and I can't beat a ton of demos about Isara immortality on a boulder."

…………

Emily is resurrected as many times as she dies.

And become stronger every time you kill [Murder Princess].

Think in common sense, you don't have the means to win.

"But there are < masters > that go well with that ton of demo. You."

If there is one......

"I mean... hire me as an escort because [Murder Princess] came out"

An unquestioned blow freeze attributed to the number of fellow crusaders by Cuco and the "Bouclier Planetter" that [White Rose] has to stop suicide.

Our power over Emily, which can be called a natural enemy.

"That's the thing. Can you ask for it?"

…………

Just a little, bother.

Can I fight her, there is a question.

Still......

"I'll take it"

Still, if Emily kills on this ship... like she did on Cortana, it has to stop.

If you say I'm the only one who can stop you......

"That's a request. Thank you. Get your rewards as satisfactory as you can."

"Best wishes. So, another matter... What do you mean, business?

"Oh."

Mr. Manigold took a cup of tea and then looked at me and cut out the story.

"Are you willing to sell your [White Rose] for 10 billion when you're done working on the ship?

"I refuse"

I was immediately turning down the suggestion that was made abruptly.

That must have been a quicker reflex than I thought, and I would have given the same response even if the amount had been a hundred times greater.

The cost of producing [White Rose] would be lower than the amount offered, but it's not about the money.

That's the birthday present my sister gave me, so it's impossible to sell it to someone.

"Ready to answer. Okay, let's give up."

"... eh"

I'm sorry to say no, but it was surprising that Mr. Manigold pulled back lightly.

"Wonder how fast you gave up?

"... yeah, well"

"I get what I can get with loads of gold, but I give up on what I can't get with gold. I only have money, so if they don't snort at me, there's no hitter. Anyway, if it's someone who piles up money and changes their answers, you don't seem to be. And taking it by force is out of the question."

…………

... This guy looks a little like his master after all.

Nor has my master ever been forced to do anything when he's dictating someone.

"All you can get is what you can buy for gold. That's why I'm here."

"Huh?"

"I've heard from AR I CA... it doesn't look like it"

I didn't even know what you were talking about, so I nod.

"We, the members of the Cardina Congress, are the clans brought together by Cardina's Super. It was placed under State control, including those who had worked freely until then. Naturally, freedom falls. Sometimes I'm entrusted with a job like this one. That is why some privilege (...) was granted in exchange for accession"

"Privileges…"

"In my case, it's a rare auction or membership market where only a limited number of merchants can participate. Well, I can only buy it to the extent that it doesn't disrupt the place. Buying makes enemies. I want to remain a good buyer for sellers."

"... and my master?

"I don't know. I know you have some kind of privilege, but I don't know. Knowing the privileges of other members can also be a source of discord. My privilege is to be satisfied and modest."

... I've heard that Clan was created at Cardina's request, but was it formed at such a price?

"Well, that concludes the point. Pearl's business talks will be tomorrow when the opponent comes aboard the ship. The deal itself will end fine. Unlike you, it's just money."

…………

"However, it doesn't necessarily mean someone won't take that away from you after you get the beads. Your job is to remain vigilant for the next three days… more precisely from tomorrow, when the bead deal takes place, until the day after tomorrow, when we reach Dragnomad at the end point. Example [Murder Princess] may be wandering around, and there may be other uncanny ones out there. Hit the guard on board. If you need anything, you can contact me on this comm. I also leave it up to you to deal with emergencies at your own discretion. Oh, please contact me in advance if you want to log out longer with a meal or bath"

That said, Mr. Manigold handed me the comms.

"Okay."

"Well, good to see you. I'm resting in my own room. You should take a look at the ship today. And I have your cabin, so rest in peace."

That said, Mr. Manigold set aside the cabin keys for us, took a seat, and left the restaurant.

He seemed to pay for the meals, including ours.

"He was a good porn fat guy."

"... yeah. Well, I don't know... he was a thick guy"

But it didn't even work on Cuco's ramblings, and the vessel seemed huge.

"Why don't you say something?

…………

... kind of spicier than when Cuco was my sister, or just a poisonous tongue that's not too wrapped up in oblate.

Mind what you say, mistress... no, it's been like this since before.

"Whatever it is, escort us to Dragnomad, we have to work hard."

"Uh-oh, mam."

I don't know if Emily is coming again this time, but there are other people who might move after the beads.

Let's get our minds together.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ [Eltrame]

The night Hugo and the others boarded the [Eltram].

The [Eltram] moored in a certain city after sundown and began to move again with passengers in that city.

On the deck going on the sand, there are three people talking aboard in that city with a view.

"You're safely aboard, owner"

"Oh. There's no problem with this kind of luxury passenger ship boarding process. After all, wasn't even arranged in Cardina in secret?... Well, they shouldn't have seen his face even if he was knocked down"

"Then you can work safely on this ship. I figured Cardina would be the best with a lot of money if we were to get back together.... and I don't like being destroyed and drowned by a ship in Gran Baroa anymore"

It was a combination of one man and two women.

They all seem to be, with the emblem on the back of the left hand side.

A beauty with glasses on her face and a girl with scars on her face who looks like a bandit.

And a man called the owner.

He was a red-haired young man.

And he's wearing a red jacket with a lion-like hyena.

Whereas the hair was a shade reminiscent of his ground hair, the red on the jacket was a shade that was dyed with blood.

"Shall we look for the object we want while we check the ship's construction first? Niara, Faye"

"Yes."

"It's like a rager!

That's how the man turned to the two of us,

- This is where our rebirth begins.

Man - [Robbery King] Eldridge told him so with strong determination.
