Over The Infinite

PROLOGUE "World of Dragons"

Cause and effect. Causes and consequences. connection. The word is that in every consequence there exists a cause for it to occur.

If viewed as a Buddhist term, it may also include the idea that evil or good deeds affect not only the present world, but also beyond the circle.

Whoever is engraved with the curse of "The Prisoner of Cause and Effect" is imprisoned, bound, and flirted with by cause and effect, as his name suggests.

I guess this name simply brought something close to the knowledge I have. And that's probably not a big mistake.

Cause and effect chain. The result creates a new cause, and the cause creates a new result. If that affects you beyond the circle, you can call it an endless infinite chain.

So what in the first place refers to cause and effect in "captivity of cause and effect"?

The paranormal being who planted this gift, the only malicious desire, seems to be the extinction of the self. I don't understand the idea of an unintelligible existence, such as an information life form, but you can assume that this gift is also fragmented according to its purpose.

Although it does not leave the hypothetical realm, the causes and consequences that the "captives of cause and effect" enclose exist as common "consequences" as a major premise.

Destroying the only malice. We are creating, guiding, and leading the way there to bring about its consequences. What is needed and what action will be taken to reach the result? That is predetermined for individual holders.

This can only end by destroying the only malice. Unless it serves its purpose, my soul will continue to be imprisoned for eternity beyond the circle. It would be a good silo thing to call a curse truly. Seriously, it feels like I'm kidding.

Does the Admiral know anything about Buddhism?

They suddenly asked me that when Corgolo decided to insist on our clan.

Originally from casual conversation. Motivation for joining the clan… It is a response when asked why I would be an adventurer or a goal before that.

That's true when it comes to Berenvar getting into the clan, but an adventurer is a profession that doesn't last until an individual has a strong passion. But even among the hard adventurers, we're jumping through, so I figured we'd better make that part clear before our debut. If I think... I am talking about Buddhism for some reason.

'Not enough to go into detail, but you know it to some extent because you're a former Japanese. Mixed with Shinto, I didn't know much about it, but funerals and all kinds of houses are mostly Buddhist, and I just don't know if I'm in some sect. "

How many were we? Although I think Takabori's home was usually puritanical. The one called South Amitabha Buddha.

"Why Buddhism again? It's not like it's popular in labyrinth cities."

There is a baroness who is admirably training at the temple, but even that temple was built just for sightseeing and not for real. The rough service provided, such as the motorcycle escort, also looks like it. At best, to the extent that information remains in the form of religion that was on Earth.

'That's because you're still a reincarnator. I'd be curious to hear you have a concept like that.'

Oh, a reincarnation. It's not just a Buddhist concept, but it might be if we were to hit it first.

"I could only feel my memories of my previous life in shackles. Even if it did, it wouldn't help much. I felt that even though I could live without it, it would tie my way of life. The past is coming after us beyond the circle."

"Karma in Buddhism. It's a business. '

'Yes, that's it. It was a shock when you read a book in Japanese at the hospital and found the words. "

Are you talking about wanting to be a Buddhist or something?

Regardless of the sincerity of the coral, I am also tied to the cause and effect of my previous life. So much so that you can't move with the goose cross. My name is more on the tie side, but the rope is tied better. In other words, it is self-contained.

'I've done a lot of bad things in my last life. He died without checking it out. I'm sure there's a part of it that couldn't be helped, but I guess that's certainly sin and business. I thought that business was tying me up right now. "

"I don't think business was just bad behavior."

'Right. Well, in my case, it was just a bad thing, so I had no choice. I'd write it off if I did something good. "

What were you doing? No, I'm not going to play clan in the vices of my previous life.

'Not just me, but I think the memory reincarnators were born with more or less that kind of business on their backs. It's not just good and evil, it's not digestible in the last life. "

"... that's too much to know."

I don't think every reincarnator living in this world is. Even a handful of guys would feel tied up.

But you were right for me. It's too huge a cause and effect to be settled out. It's a two-generation loan from a previous and present life. Besides, it's also suspicious if we can pay it off in this world. I am in the mood for continual and endless ribo payments. Incidentally, there is no means of self-bankruptcy.

'... oh, I'm not telling the Admiral to do that. The point is, it's me. Whatever you're trying to say, I'm not out of coral yet. I just care about the back and I'm not heading forward. I can finally walk out of this world by reckoning with the glitches of my previous life. I can be human. That's what I'm thinking.

What can I do to settle it?

'I don't know. I don't feel like doing good deeds and writing them off, and there's no way I could have done something I didn't do before. It's not strange that my life is over just looking for it. But if you stop, it's still incomplete. "

A question I started in a light mood was piercing me at the counter.

"Admiral, I want to be human. I thought Belen or you might have that answer ahead of us. So I thought I'd do an adventurer.... can I answer that? Clan Master '

That was too sincere an answer, one that hung away from the usual hellish impression.

Rather, I felt more confronted with the existence of an adventurer than Berenvar.

And the word also felt thrown against the existence of the Watanabe Tsunami.

Where is the starting point for causation?

That would, of course, be none other than when the Prisoner of Cause and Condition was planted. When a crack runs into the world, when it goes to Tokyo, even if there is a path there, it is at that moment that it is decisive.

But I have one question. Why is the only malice bothering to sort out who plants the "captivity of cause and effect"?

At least the beautiful bow that was in close proximity is not the subject. It's almost indiscriminate. Isn't it okay to plant objects without discrimination?

Of course, I guess there's something like this working material. It's not something anyone can do because they're trying to make revenge plays go beyond the circle. However, that cannot be a direct factor in narrowing the target. There must be some kind of condition there.

Perhaps me and the Imperial Dragon met that condition. What is a condition?

To survive in that finished world? That's not true. I couldn't have been the last survivor, and it points to the possibility that there is someone else who created that hell.

So we're gonna get to the crack of the world? That's different, too. It was not until time after his captivity that the Imperial Dragon discovered the infinite corridor.

The only malice... ever face your own hateful appearance? Maybe so. But I don't think that could be the only condition for sorting. Rather, that would be the result.

There's probably another factor.

The beast of cause and effect won't try to show it, at the bottom of my memory I keep turning away. I'm sure that's what the beast of karma calls the original sin of the Watanabe.

That's the origin of cause and effect in the real sense. It must be the beginning of it all.

Similarly, there must be a cause for the collapse of the star we are now facing, and a definite starting point for that event.

What we are looking for now is a way to open up a closed future. Leading the way there.

Once we know the origin of the cause and effect, that might be possible. When, where, what did... or did not, the future close?

Alternatively, there could have been no way out from the beginning.

Erica said the Watanabe outline in parallel worlds has taken various paths, and in all of them the collapse of the stars has occurred. If a labyrinth city occurs even without a dungeon master, even if it is not in its present form, it would be normal to assume that the cause is separate. Isn't this proof left that Watanabe Tsunami's actions have nothing to do with the collapse of the stars?

... really?

I think that would be the answer if it were, and something completely unknown would cause it. But previous experience has refused to make that decision.

Information life forms that don't know the common sense of people or the limits of things can only feel like the trials they've put out to go beyond.

Dammus said I knew everything and that every single one of my actions might have been derived from it.

Then maybe there was something in my actions that would determine the collapse of the stars. Now, in this situation, what we should assume is the pattern that caused my behavior. Because it's easier to leave the other possibilities to the Dammus.

Is that when you were reincarnated, when you met Yuki, when you came to the Labyrinth City?

Retrospectively, when Watanabe Tsunami in his previous life died, when he jumped into a crack in the infinite corridor, when he threw out a beautiful bow and headed to Tokyo, at that moment when malice appeared?

Or did they even decide on the collapse of the stars when they planted the "captivity of cause and effect", the starting point of it all?

The causes listed are probably all wrong. None of this is the starting point for causation. Something in me is about to sue me.

The beast of cause and effect knows it. I know the answer, and I'm silent that it's something I should be facing myself.

It's as if you're convinced that one day you're going to go for it.

… or perhaps the events that will be the starting point for the collapse of the stars will "happen in the future".

-1 -

It has been a whole day since the Kugelschreiber arrived in the world of the Imperial Dragon.

But we're still on the move, staying on board without getting off the ground. Originally, it is a land of death where even human beings, rather than adventurers, cannot survive. After arrival, it is decided that time will be taken to improve the environment for a while...

"... it's me, isn't it? We're on the ground, but we can't get down."

"I know you're unhappy, but stop bubbling with cream soda. I don't know."

"Bu."

In a corner of the gallant dining room, Yuki continues to breathe from the straw in dissatisfaction. The cream soda I asked for didn't decrease at all, it's full of bubbles.

... If I were comrade A, who keeps peeking at this one from the wall this straw, would you buy it high? Can't we sneak it back later?

"But it's not like there's anything special you want to do when you get down, is there?

"That's true, too, but I guess it's a mood problem. You see, if the sailors stop by the harbor and don't give permission to go ashore, they'll be unhappy."

"I just don't think we should compare a week's journey to the people who spend months on board.... or do you want to come down? As far as the outside footage shows, the extreme world is beyond the level."

I didn't care that much when Dammus showed me the 3D footage, because that's after seeing an extremely harsh storm, and if you actually just look at that, it's hell enough of a barrier. I don't know if it's in the name of wanting to see an unknown landscape that I can't normally see, but I don't think it's something I like to see. At least I don't like to come down even though I don't have errands.

"If you want to experience extreme environments, try an example experience corner or something?

"The challenging array of human limits is a bit...... I'll leave that to Sargess."

"He's in an admirable challenge."

"I'm trying..."

In fact, yesterday, an experience corner was set up in the corner of the ship to recreate the environment of this planet, but it seems that the vast majority of humans had a full stomach just for a tour.

Even when it comes to reproduction, of course, it is not outside the boundaries where the storm blows, but within the boundaries...... I mean about the same as the environment near this ship, but even then it was too impossible for humans to operate. Atmospheres containing supergravity, temperatures and even unknown gases are too high a hurdle.

For once, I thought I'd try it out in my space suit, but it would also mean that curiosity shrivels when I hear Mr. Riggles scream, who challenged me with a willingness. By the way, the volume of your body could shrivel under pressure if you actually experience it.

Only the Mazos, headed by Sarjes, can enjoy the array. In fact, it seemed like fun.... I was rendezvous with Sargess at some point, but those guys, where did they spring up from?

"Well, you're not particularly interested in land or landscape. Maybe I just don't like the lack of progress. I haven't even met a local dragon."

They're coming to this ship.

This is not me who was face-to-face with Yuki, but the one who was suddenly called from behind. Looking back, there's a silver-haired boy standing there.

"Silver Dragon.... Weren't all three of you back?

"The sky and Xuan are still doing a lot over there, but I'm back. Seriously, dude."

With that said, Silver Dragon also sat next to me and started drinking my water on his own. It's self-service, so pour it over.

"Don't drink my water.... even though it would be a long time ago"

"I don't care what you say. I used to be, but over there... I can't be bored now that I know the labyrinth city. I seriously freak out level when I wonder if I lived in this place while I was doing my thing. Honestly, it was more of a cultural shock than I'd imagined over there."

Even compared to a labyrinth city. Village on the other side if you compare...... no, nothing more than that? Kids can enjoy climbing trees, but there are no plants, no animals, no rivers, no sea, and then there is no food. Ruins and infinite corridors won't be fun. It's understandable that I feel like going to Tokyo.

"Uh, look, with the family? There's a lot of them, isn't there?

"It's common for my brothers not to be funny.... Oh, but weird Japanese could have been interesting. For some reason, there was Kansai Valve."

"Why not?"

"Yes, like that"

I know you understand the Kansai Valve, but I think that's the wrong part to enjoy.

It is helpful that almost all dragons master Japanese because of the high specs, but many parts of them seem to remember it incorrectly due to early mastery. These guys can already speak in a way that's close to native, but still there are many words they don't make mistakes or know. And I'm biased.

"You know, the place and the dragons that live there are in the mood to be shown black history. It's hard to think we were like that until a while ago. It was empty and flat, but I'm desperate inside, alle. Xuan seems to be immersed in his own sense of superiority."

After all I've seen, I look back at my hometown again, and you're saying that something extra terrible has come to my attention?

"I was just saying, who's coming to this ship?

"Greetings. I think it's to get used to gradually, or to mingle perceptions. Even if I get information about the labyrinth city, I still don't know a lot about it until I talk straight, and you don't want to get a bad impression from a retarded dragon, and the sky and the Xuan treat me like an idiot, but the real thing has different dimensions."

Silver Dragon is also quite cluttered and appropriate in character, but to the extent of Yancha at best.... Many dragons aren't on that level.

Depending on the cultural differences, it is possible that the perception is different. Preliminary folding may be important to prevent such a thing.

"So if you're free, let's bash it"

"Why basketball?"

"Oh, we don't have Gardo, so we can play football."

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Well, we have a whole range of leisure facilities on board, so we can play sports, but not many of them are going to do it at this time of year.

Essentially, those aboard this ship are meant to interact with the world of dragons, so even in their spare time, their purpose will prevail. They weren't made for entertainment, but they can be pretty popular with videos and stuff about the dragon world.

"I don't have enough people in the first place, so basketball makes me 1on1 or soccer makes me PK. Looking for participants?

"Uh, yeah. It's a labyrinth city. I wondered who it would be if I went to a sports facility."

You had some spare time, Yuki seems surprisingly motivated. Was Silver Dragon interested in sports by jumping in?

"You can do what you can one-on-one. Tennis or something."

"Right. Tennis would limit racquets in a way, and even adventurers could have a decent game."

"Oh, I know the rules, but you haven't done it yet. All right, let's do it."

That's why we became feathers playing tennis with the wheelies aboard Silver Dragon's invitation. By the way, the opponent is Yuki, and I'm just a referee. For once, I could even double if I invited comrade A nearby, but I can't do that in front of Yuki either. He's gonna beat me up.

As expected, there was no one in the space for the sport that was moved.

This vacancy is no surprise or anything, since this space was originally like installed besides and was enough to be used from time to time by officials other than adventurers.

The vast majority of adventurers don't really like sports. The same is true of the fact that the standards are too different physically to establish a match with the average person, but there is also the problem that there are too many differences between the adventurers of the day. There is also the hand of imposing skill limitations, status limitations, but even then there are limitations, and there are many problems that you cannot move as you normally would if you were subject to significant limitations. The rules of sport were made only in the same category of human beings. It is impossible to apply that to an adventurer.

That's why professional sports played in labyrinth cities have level limits, skill limits, and no adventurers can register except some. I would play a game like Exhibition, but that's about it. Apparently the prowl is pretty loose in there.

Well, because adventurers don't do it, they would be subhuman but animals if they fit within the category, but they participate, so they are picturesque enough chaos. It's finely categorized by race, etc., but it's OK if Lizardman drifts with his tail, or the giant can dunk without standing. Even pandas play baseball. All kinds of animal sports are like classifying by gender or weight.

Superman tennis that begins that way. Built to withstand the menacing power of adventurers, tennis balls run through the court at a speed no ordinary person can see. There's no technique like that used by a tennis player in his position, it's just a bump of power and power to hit back when the ball comes. Suitable enough to normally pick up even balls that will be out.

"Hey!

"Heh!!"

They're just two clever people originally. Soon there was a loosening of movement, a spin on the sphere, and when I started aiming at the corners of my coat, I started to move like an experienced person. I don't know what it means anymore if it's a volley match.... Hmmm, if I join now, don't lose either one of them. And let's do something about the hanging.

"What the hell is this..."

If I had seen it in a never-ending rally, there would have been an empty dragon next door at some point. It seems to be bewildered by the out-of-the-way demonic super tennis that is playing in front of us.

"This is a superman sport called Extreme Tennis. Also known as Teninu. When you become a master, you can erase, split, or create a black hole for your opponents."

"Ha... that's amazing"

Well, it's a lie. It's similar to what's happening in front of me, and I won't have much of a problem with it.

... This is how misunderstandings spread.

"Are you done with your local errands? Looks like Xuanlong's not here."

"Xuan stays over there to reveal the martial arts he wore in the labyrinth city. It seems to have been very popular with my brothers with basic brain muscles."

I call him your brother, but he calls me a brain muscle.

"It's just a return report. It took me a little while to get to your mother, but that's all."

"Is Huang Long in satellite orbit?

"We live in an artificial satellite of the old civilization surrounding this planet. Is it time to try the infinite corridor?"

This ruin inhabited by the dragons seems to be bigger in diameter than the moon, but it would still be narrower in that giant. I don't see it in the storm, but I guess its artificial satellite and the size it's not by the moon.

"Is there a transfer device or something there?

"Yes. Previously, I had used unbroken artifacts from the old civilization, but the labyrinth city was newer to me. This eliminates the danger of being thrown out into space with a coordinate error once every three times."

Scary. It's amazing how many thousands of years old equipment is working, but it's also amazing to keep using it without fear of malfunction. I guess it took me a while to install it.

"Mr. Watanabe can safely use it."

"If that's new, you can use it, but I don't know if I have a chance to use it... No, do I? Did the Imperial Dragon call you?

"Yes. He said to show his face when the landing permit came down."

On good terms, it is an extremely serious story.

The man in charge of this ship is Werner and the Adventurer Representative is Mr Glenn, but that is an ostensible story. The real representative for the purpose would be me, the compatriot of the "captivity of cause and effect". There's a problem with me not showing my face.

The Imperial Dragon I met on the moon was releasing unusual pressure, but that was like a hologram and not an entity. Even as a courtesy, we should meet and talk properly for once or so. … I doubt how close I would have come to meeting a satellite-sized dragon.

Even if it is a transfer device, there should be no problem if it is being changed to a new object... There isn't, is there?

Speaking of which, Mr. Ladine was looking for Watanabe earlier.

"I don't know what to do."

"It didn't seem urgent."

And, where Ladine's topic shook, the institutional door opened and the person appeared. This is the kind of time I've been waiting for you to leave.

Looks like I was just a little jerked off by the transcendent rally that plays out on the tennis court, but I headed straight over here.

"What, you were looking for me?

"Oh. It's an invitation to do a little silly dating."

... What shall I do? I'm not sure if it's a joke or a serious one. Not that I don't like Ladine, but I haven't had many events like that so far. Now if you're wearing clothes or makeup that you strangely like, it's not really possible, but Ladine is the usual white coat.

If you mean it, can you let me rub about milk if it works? No, if I were Ladine, I'd feel like my hands slipped or something. Even that kind of crap would go through lightly...... The question is whether it will not be used as some weird material for research......

"So how about Sky Dragon?

It was still more about colorless stories. On the other hand, the shaken sky dragon had a hatena floating around to see if he was thinking about defining a date. I thought you recognized going out with the opposite sex.

"Even so, there are only a few places you can go on the ship... or go to the facility you're setting up right now"

"Farther than that. Specifically, this ship is about 50 kilometers away from the ruins."

Wouldn't that kill us if we went? Fifty kilometers or so would still be within the boundaries.

... No, it's Ladine, so I guess it's like testing a space suit or something. Don't you know what it means to set a destination?

"Nah, it's an example < Black Old Tree >, but the blacksmiths are swarming and running out of quantity. So let's cut it off quickly."

"So I went to imitate the wood dust. I know what you want to do, but why is Ladine here?

"I didn't have to be a weasel, but the staff didn't seem to have enough hands in the setup either. So let's take a drive together with a Super Borg test run."

Sounds like Borg was digesting the power-up event at some point.

-2 -

A small boat of Kugelschreiber with a borg connected...... provisional name Superborg runs even the deserted wilderness. A wilderness of death with no sea or plant on the contrary, but it is not wrong to be deserted. A small boat made of transparent materials all around is probably the perfect structure to enjoy the landscape, but this just makes me uncomfortable. Since the women's rate is high and gorgeous on board, it would be better to look inward in mental health.... Although I'm the only one with Bog's face seated when I slightly shift my gaze.

Me and Yuki, Ladine and Sky Dragon are on the seat of the small boat. I also invited Silver Dragon because it was a six-man, but he turned me down with a very unpleasant face. Nevertheless, it was also pathetic that Yuki would lose his opponent by joining him, so instead, he sacrificed comrade A, who was snooping. We'll be playing Superman tennis together by now. I don't know what Comrade A's physical abilities are, but he's an adventurer, so it can't be that bad.

"This is more than I thought... I don't know"

Was it a sight more than I imagined, and Yuki on board is also having trouble expressing it. After all, it doesn't seem like it's the same thing you see in the video as it is in the naked eye.

The nearby wilderness is also quite arrogant, but the impact around the boundaries of the distant visible junction is intense. It is because of the relationship in which the junction is transparent, or because the storm being blocked becomes a visible wall, the dome of a typhoon of death that covers everything from the ground to the sky.

... It's going to suck me in if I watch it. I didn't think it was suitable for sightseeing, but maybe the size of the scale is worth a look.

"But couldn't you manage the position of Borg's face?

"E......?

I don't know what the Borg is talking about at the time. Not in the wind, but I think you should be more concerned about the treatment.

"The most efficient wiring position was here. Bog should be able to talk to his own mouth with his fellow passengers, too, right?

"Soudesne"

"No, I hope you're okay"

It seems that this small boat is physically connected to the head of the borg and is responsible for all of the controls, but the head of that borg is in the position of a shift lever called a car. It's not like there's a body underneath it, it's just a head. For once, I can rotate horizontally, so it seems possible to change the perspective.

In other words, this small boat is automated by borg piloting, but Ladine also has a steering wheel in the seat where she sits, and Ladine is supposed to handle it in case of any trouble. What's more, in case the dragon should be able to help you?

"Speaking of which, didn't Kugelschreiber's small boat only work in that tunnel?

"Do you want to hear it after you get on board..."

Well, now it is.

I got in here as I was invited, but what I'd heard before should have been a pretty limited specification.

"This guy has special specifications. The original small boat has no tires, and there are no assorted attachment features. Well, not exactly, but we're replacing them with Borg's brain."

"DENAINOHA ALEDESGA FOR COMBATION, SPECIAL SPECIFICATIONS TOIU RINGING KIHA HEART GA DANCE LIMUS"

I know you're attracted to the word dedicated or special, but I don't like this kind of special. I might be attracted to human robots even if they are deformed from here.

"This form also has the advantage of being able to travel on board, but when it comes to combat, the usual body is stronger and more versatile. I'll use the attachment."

"You're not purely empowering."

"Underwater gear and this feels like the pre-stage of connecting large parts."

"Yukuyukuha, giant robot two monatte mi tai desne. Deformation Mechanism Gaareva Precious Ides'

As always, Borg doesn't seem to feel any resistance to being humiliated by himself. What does your identity look like in this guy? A decent human would have collapsed long ago.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Borg is an ex-human, isn't he? How did you become a cyborg?

Sky Dragon, not too tangled up so far, has asked me about Borg's coming. Perhaps the question was directed at former members...... everyone here, but neither me nor Yuki know the details, so I turn my gaze to Ladine.

"Lord Elsie was a unique class, so I challenged him to create a new class against it."

"Subject Two Candidate Shimashita"

It was a surprisingly simple answer, whether decent or not. Speaking of which, I remember hearing stories about creating new classes.

So the Borg went ahead and was modified? You've been out of your mind since the beginning.

"It was a big coincidence of interest, but it was also a life-extension procedure. At the time, Borg... Andre was invaded by an untreatable disease in a labyrinth city."

"Sono Man Ha Death Nimacita"

"... well, maybe he's dead in a way. Now we can use cloning technology to create a body that's close to humans, but the flesh doesn't have any untrained bodies."

"Meat Body Hachimera Second Term Semasita"

I don't think it's something that needs to be shared.

But even if he didn't care, you had a pretty heavy past. Though it feels like there was an incurable disease in a labyrinth city where even a thousand severed arms could be undone.... No, there is.

"That's just like us, isn't it? He's one of us."

"Ooh, yes crabs."

I've got something on my mind, but is Sky Dragon and Borg in the same category?

"Well... that kind of classification is going to mean I'm the same kind of person."

Broadly speaking, maybe Yuki will too. To abandon a man's body and become a machine, and to abandon a dragon's body and become a man, and to abandon a man and become a woman. The direction is fragmented, but because I abandoned my original figure and asked for a new self. If we stick it up, we can say that all the reborn guys are.

"Actually, Chimera has a past like that."

"His array is his instinct as a species. Originally a species so vulnerable that it cannot survive on its own, it can only live by taking in the organisms around it. Among other things, he had a great desire to be strong, so his interests were unanimous. Without the eagle, he'd go for the ultimate form of being an organism everywhere."

Strength, is an easy to understand and simple but strong desire. Taking in monsters and feeding them is just what's on that extension line.

If that desire is to be satisfied, I am not bound by appearance. Maybe it's originally that kind of race, but he won't mind any alienation.

More or less, being an adventurer is the kind of guy who had that desire. I didn't think so at first, but neither did I.

"If it's ultimate, I think I need a vocal organ."

"I have an organ for once... you haven't spoken at all lately. You think that emoticon board is enough?

Even as we talked about it, Superborg kept walking, and after a while, he saw his destination, < Black Old Tree >. At the edge of the junction, a little further, it is in a position to be caught in a storm. Anything, it doesn't have a physical wall, so you think you can just stick it in if you want to?... I'm not pretending before I go in there.

Try to get close and finally you can see the immensity of < Black Old Tree >. This tree is huge enough to make no sense, even though it is a straight stick that has not even been branched apart, so the scale is hard to grasp. The dragon is understandable because it is not from this planet, but this immensity would be strange as an organism that originally existed on this planet. Ignoring the supergravity of giant planets.

"Is this really a tree? I feel too big to have grown up in this environment..."

"I did some analysis, but so far it's unknown"

"With the technology of a labyrinth city, we need to know why it's gotten so big."

"So is the immensity, but I'm even suspicious if it's really a tree. When I" appraise "what I've processed, I treat it like a wooden item, but normally I don't have any tree elements to look into."

... Both are unknown. If it doesn't make that much sense, it's more creepy to process it and treat it like wood.

"Well, as I leave that to the experts... how are we going to cut this?

"Of course I use a borg. The tip of this guy has been modified to attach various attachments, and now the saw is attached. The eagles and the eagles are just tours. Come on, Bog, come on."

"Yesser"

And, something like a saw blade appears from the front part to match the line, and it keeps stretching......... isn't it overstretched?

The scarecrow, which stretched beyond the body of the Super Borg, wrapped itself around the giant < Black Old Tree >, and only the blade part began to spin as it did. Scarecrow or variable chainsaw. The total length of the teeth is not sufficient, so it cannot be cut off as is, but the body side of the vehicle responded by circling with glue. Finally, adjust the direction of the fall and it's over.

"I was talking about being sturdy, but it's pretty easy to cut."

"No... harder than expected. The blade is missing. This scarecrow uses the same material as the excavator on the Kugelschreiber..."

I don't really know what kind of material it is, but I understand that it's amazing anyway.

Compromise is unacceptable for something that puts a hole in the space. I guess the same thing is the highest quality in labyrinth cities. The lack of it means that you can expect a lot of defense if you use defense equipment. It's also suspicious if there's flammability, which is the biggest weakness in wood, and awesome trees.

Afterwards, I wonder how you're going to carry the tree you knocked down, and they're going to drag you along like this. I changed the borg attachment to anchor and started towing as it was. This small boat also has a carrier, but they don't use it. Or it doesn't fit the size.

I also wondered if I could pull a huge tree multiple times larger with such a small boat, but it seems like it can be carried properly with a little slowing down.

On the way home, I notice Yuki staring out at the tree being pulled in the back seat. Speaking of which, I haven't been mixed up in conversations all along the way.

"Something bothering you? You know, I'm concerned that the incision is black and there's no annual wheel."

"Oh, no, I don't care about trees. I don't know what to do if something strikes me in this situation."

"I don't know... Speaking of which, I can't help it"

Outside the body is an environment where even adventurers can die instantly. I can't fight or anything like this here.

"Ever since I heard about this one, I've always assumed it would be a battle in this world, but it's not where we fight in the first place, is it? Even though we're adjusting the environment in the ruins, it's a big part of it, and even if the adjustment machine breaks down, it's out."

I didn't really think about it, but do we need to consider fighting in places like this?

I thought something would happen by the time the stars collapsed, but if you think about something of it, maybe it's quite possible.

"Coconara, my son no single altar Desne"

"I can move too, though."

Sky dragons can fight without problems. Bog will also count as a force enough depending on the attachment. But we're powerless at the heart. If you think something's going to happen around me, it's going to be a problem that I'm helpless myself.

Even if not, there should be attacks in the future in environments that humans cannot adapt to in advancing the infinite corridor. For example, Mr. Elsie attacked the moon cavity, which Dammus said was moon-dependent, but I wonder if it would be a similar environment if I were to join a dungeon in a labyrinth city.

"How long can Borg fight in this situation?

"The intensity is adjusted so that it can move fully within the boundaries, but in the end it depends on the attachment. Kugelschreiber... No, you called it a second... if she and Lord Werner had permission, I would never be able to fit a drill for space drilling... I have an output problem..."

"Drilno Way Gadecainoha Undressed Death"

Even if it's a distortion, you can't fight it with that in mind. Well, in this situation, you should assume to run rather than fight.

"Uh, Mr. Watanabe? As you may have forgotten, if we're going to fight in this world, we have a lot of fighting power."

"... no, the dragon was on your side"

There were a large number of people who could fight in a complete system. If you say so at last, there is even the Imperial Dragon.

It's huge that we can expect rescue if we're near that ruin for now. I came out without thinking about it this time, but let's not leave the ruins too much.

"Either way, we're powerless under these extreme circumstances at the moment. I don't know if you'll let me get away with it."

"Even if we have to give up on places like this where there's nothing we can do, shouldn't we consider fighting in places that seem pretty critical or something? Like a tunnel between worlds."

It is a true argument. Plus, it's a possible development.

Even if we leave aside what the situation is, we should consider fighting in places that are not normally spaces.

"It would be better to keep each of the few such as pressure resistant suits and small oxygen cylinders at all times. Although stability cannot be guaranteed at all because it is a pre-validation silo thing"

Well, it's normal for us to be part of the prototype test crew.

"Saya."

They are also preparing improvements to underwater gear previously used in the Serpent Dragon Battle. That's all I appreciate, because there's a chance that even an oxygen cylinder could handle being thrown out into space. Have it distributed during the prototype phase as well.

"I'm having Sargess run endurance tests on you in the local environmental experience section, because his ratings are subtly out of place."

... alle, was it a test for once?

-3-

Not that there was anything in particular, but I came back to Kugelschreiber. There is a name for logging for once, but we were just really on Superborg. I mean, it's a drive as it was originally intended.... There's nothing wrong with that.

I stretched my legs a little before returning to the ship to take a peek at the ruins and the facilities being set up, but they're doing better than I thought, and the space for about a Tokyo dome is already ready for even humans to operate. A number of temporary accommodations have also been built. It is a tremendous rate even though it has only been a day.

I noticed Xuanlong and Werner near the entrance and exit as I got off the borg and was moving through the hangar. I think it's something because I'm talking about it with a serious look on my face, and I'll try to get close.

"Is there some kind of trouble?

"Watanabe. Trouble...... isn't it? It's not a difficult project to handle."

As far as the situation goes, Xuanlong turns his gaze for an explanation that it would be a project he brought in.

"When I get back to the area, my brothers will rub my name on it."

"Xuanlong or Sky Dragon doesn't seem like an element that can be rubbed too simply, but you want to make it a more complicated name or something like that?

"No, it hasn't changed the Kanji character to the" dragon ", which had become an implicit rule at some point since I had it attached to the pestle palace, but it was approached by who would use which kanji character?"

What? Sora. Dammus wouldn't have thought about it that far either.

"But you didn't seem so interested when I told you?

"My sister asked me for advice after she returned. At first, it became a flow of attaching kanji that looked like it, but I started by advising that the slightly sloppy ones looked better than the meaning as it was... From there, I started to restrain myself on the shape of the letters, the sound of the sounds, etc., and the dragons I wore worked with each other, to an unexpected situation..."

"Kids."

It's my name, so I may not be able to compromise, but why would that be a combination?

"Brother...... how embarrassing"

The sky dragon held his head.

But your brother's still cuter. What a porn dancer my brother is. Embarrassing is not a level.

"Hey, do you have a dragon to put on 'snow' or something?

Yuki has interrupted me to see if I've been intrigued by the topic.

"Mmm?... Oh, is that your name? Speaking of which, it's like he was."

"The dragon has good taste. We're going to get along."

"By the way, you don't have the 'outline'."

"I don't need that supplement."

Tsuruo or something like that, on top of being subtly ill-dressed, is a very elongated image.

"So you came here to evacuate the combination."

"There is, but I was suggesting we relay the combination and make it a spectacle anyway."

"I'm in the middle of a headache about what it's like to show off the person I'm interacting with."

So you had such a serious look. It was super irrelevant.

"I wonder if we could make it a tournament fight or a battle royal anyway and a totototocarcho for adventurers. So, whoever wins can be asked to be in charge of future naming rights. So whoever bought the whale would suggest what kind of name to use..."

"Ho."

Yuki, who loves this kind of thing, caught fire.

... Well, the suggestion itself is fine if the other person understands it.

"So, there's a punitive game where the lowest dragon can be named embarrassing..."

And Yuki is also the one with the uncompromising punitive game.

After that, I repeated the proposal and the compromise that it would not be, until the conversation progressed on the premise of doing it at some point.

"Therefore, Sister, please ask your mother's permission in The Tale of Reading"

"Yep..."

Sky Dragon will send me a gaze asking me to help, but I don't think there's anything I can do.

"Ha... remember your brothers and you too"

"Ha... Me too?

"Xuan too, or in me, you are the mastermind and the fan"

"Stupid......"

You're not mistaken. The worst part is that I feel like Yuki, who was gassed by the ignited fire.

"Yuki... you, you're going to fade out as you are"

"Shh! The person in charge is Mr. Werner, and the originator is Xuanlong. I'm an unnamed observer, okay?

... this is the kind of guy he is.

If you think about the life expectancy of a dragon, it's a problem that goes around for thousands of years. I don't think my real name is gonna be an embarrassing name or anything.

That's how the Sky Dragon interviewed him, and the Wong Dragon, who is not particularly interested, gave his permission. Rather, it seems to receive compliments that it seems good for smooth interaction. The praised sky dragon is a true face.

The final decision is the tournament by thirty-two dragons. It's a mandatory schedule that ends everything in half a day, although you need to win five times by the time you win.

Actually, he had more hope of joining him, but he said he drank more on his brothers and shut them up. As a result, relatively top individuals among the unnamed dragons at the moment participated. Since none of them are subtheistic, they will have a distribution of roughly Lv50 to Lv90.

You were hungry for entertainment, and a significant number of people participated in Totocarcho. There were no passengers to worry about because the prices of the tickets were uniform, and the fact that < Thunderstorm > sponsored the tickets for the special dinner party was probably due to it.

The ticket is accompanied by the right to present the name that the dragon to be bet deserves and the draft name for the lowest dragon. I must also add the meaning of kanji, so note that if you try to fool me, the ticket itself will be invalidated. It is only a suggestion, and the final decision on the lowest name is given to the winner, so we didn't push it.

Dragons remaining by the best sixteen get the right to name themselves by reference to those presented in Totocarcho. There is no need to exercise this because it is a right.

And the brilliantly winning dragon will get the seat of a naming minister who will follow his rights and responsibilities regarding future naming. It is up to the naming minister to decide how the naming will be done in the future. Depending on the minister's policy, a second tournament may be held.

Note that at the start of this tournament, the naming rights that the dragon had decided to like were frozen. Around some dragons rushed in with this and decided their names, I was impressed that some of the dragons weren't moving just Nori.

The setting up of the stage did not take long to complete. There is no need to improve the environment in particular, about the installation of relay cameras, referee loudspeakers, and giant projectors, and from the standpoint of the delay in the construction of the facility, it seems to be the scope of the error.

At this point we were distancing ourselves from the tournament operations center. Just buy a ticket and the rest is in tour mode. Yuki escapes only to the rabbit... he is good at fading out naturally. By the time the tournament actually began, it was a viewing party in Ladine's lab, where we gathered the people who were free and were assigned a relatively large room. I'm not going anywhere near the lobby where the most people are gathered.

"You know... it's so heartbreaking..."

"Don't say."

Especially Mr. Gaul, who had nothing to do with it, was most heartbreaking.

Thus, in a sense, the cruel tournament begins with more excitement than expected.

This enthusiasm is also an indirect but significant event in which we interact with local dragons who are not yet in contact with the site. This was probably due to the incorporation of correspondence support to the dragon who bought tickets in the second half of the war. They are basically pure, though tough looking like chimeras. I'll try my best to respond if I'm supported.

It just didn't seem like that much to look at if you saw it on the combat side.

Indeed, the dragon's giant and powerful, the properties each individual possesses are many powerful. However, most of the force pushes that pushed it forward felt less technical. From the background, that's normal too, and they only think about strengthening themselves and surpassing them with strength anyway. I guess it's a stance that we just have to be stronger so we can win than we can devise ways to win.

However, someone advised with a message of support that only the finals would have the madness of being downgraded. Although it is a simple feint, the effect is surface only for the opponent.

"It could be considered the first step in the dragon's progress, which could never have happened before"

"No, even if they say it on Doya's face. It doesn't change what you and Xuanlong did."

Yuki said that to me, but it can't be all written off. If this is a diplomatic matter, I'll give you away without hesitation.

'All right, now you're talking about ministers. So for the quickest but the lowest guy like losing here......'

A troubled winner declares using a giant microphone to match his body.

The lowest name to be remembered was decided by the naming minister to something that could not even be defended as' Shit Dragon '. Is this lack of forgiveness in the body of the dead?

If it's kanji, many things can make it a good meaning depending on how you perceive it, but there's nothing I can do about this. In the meantime, I didn't think of it.

The face of the named lowest dragon is displayed up and 'Named: Shit Dragon' terrop is covered. The face was scarce in expression and not a good idea of what it was thinking, but for some reason it made me feel sad.

"... you, dude, this"

"No, it's not my fault."

Not directly. But I'll work with you later if Mr. Shit Dragon tells you he wants revenge, me. And Gaul.

-4-

The sad case is closed. I don't really know why this happened. It was a development, but I want it to be over for now.

According to Silver Dragon, the local dragons were supposed to be all about uninteresting individuals, but where has that setting disappeared? If it's their Nori, I don't feel like any event I've hosted is going to be exciting.

"We're ready, shall we go to your mother"

That's what Sky Dragon said when he suddenly asked for my room.

That's late at night where I say in shipboard adjustment time. The tournament has been settled, and today is the time to go to bed.

You haven't given me permission to leave the ship yet.

On the contrary, the dragon of coming to say hello has not yet come either. Restrictions on movement remain in place on board.

"Penetration, but the construction to your mother is over, so I got permission. You'll be fine dressed as you are."

"Exactly. I'm not going with T-shirt shorts."

Even though the environment was adjusted, it did not necessarily completely adjust to the temperature. It's a slightly lower temperature setting from the ship, so it would be cold in this outfit. I mean, I'm not going to be rude enough to see their representatives dressed like this for as much as anything.

"Why don't you wear the courtesy clothes for the promotion ceremony? I don't really get to wear it."

Yuki began to say such things when only her face appeared from the curtain where she was replacing the laying. My hair is wet, so maybe I was taking a shower of prep.

I'm the one who doesn't look good in a courtesy dress, but if I'm wrong, there's no disrespect, so I'll wear a suit someday in Instant Costume.

"Tsuna's the only one who's going?

"I haven't heard any restrictions, but you might want to do that at first. Depending on what you're talking about, I could be kicked out, too."

"Oh well. Then I'll see you at another time."

Why not? Yuki's words feel like she has trouble getting dressed or something because she wants to go to bed already.

"I guess I'll say hello for now. If anything happens, I'll put it on the bulletin board."

"Rikai"

Bulletin boards and chats prepared by Mr. Elsie are functioning once and for all even when you come here.

I can't interact with the dams because I can't sync with the world over there, but it's pretty useful as an information-sharing tool. Even though, I can't use all kinds of services in labyrinth cities.

When you step out of the entrance and exit of the hangar, it is already the land of the world of dragons.

"Do you have any problems with your health?

"It's a bit of a breathless, heavy body, subtle place. You don't seem to have a problem hitting it."

Perhaps the preferences are not adequate, but I can only feel the difference at the level that maybe it's because of my chi. Ordinary people can get sick with minor changes, but adventurers won't have a problem. In the unlikely event of a problem, just be prepared to "instantly dress" Ladine's gear.

That's how we started moving and Sky Dragon led us through the ruins... for a few hours. The date has already changed over the onboard adjustment time. How much walking is too far?

"Uh, Sky Dragon. Is the transfer gate still there?"

"Excuse me. Almost there."

It's pretty far from where the establishment team is already working. I guess that means I worked piercing just to connect with where the Imperial Dragon is.

"I didn't think I was going the wrong way..."

"Nah, there isn't. If you go the wrong way in the first place, the environment will change dramatically."

Apparently, the environment hasn't been well maintained, except in the determined aisle, and if we take a little off the road, hell awaits us that's no different than outside. It is also thanks to the technicians seconded by the labyrinth city who can thus travel on foot without space clothes.

"... but the distance estimate could have been a little sweet. It used to be a dragon's body, and yesterday I had it in the staff's car."

"No, it's fine if I'm not mistaken. Yeah."

I hope I don't get caught dying at this point. If I hurry, I may go the wrong way, so I won't run.

"Speaking of which, the brightness hasn't changed since I went to cut a tree, but is it daylight now?

I was just a little concerned about shaking the subject in an attempt to distract Sky Dragon who got a little depressed.

The junction around this ruin is domed, but the sky visible from the gap between the ruins is covered in storms. In other words, even though the sky is invisible, the perimeter is blurred and bright and the vision is quite good. It's late at night, but I can't even guess this because the onboard time is just a watch I use for convenience inside the Kugelschreiber. If the size of the stars is different, the distance from the stars can't be different, so it's not so strange that the day lasts longer. Then it becomes unclear whether this light source is due to stars or other factors.

"This light is not from a star, it's what the junction is emitting"

According to Sky Dragon's commentary, this star is far from the stars in the first place and has no concept of day and night.

The junction emits light in the reaction when blocking the outside wind, so there is always light here. Also, there are strong and weak typhoons, so the brightness will change accordingly? I'm not sure if it's convenient or inconvenient. It works.

A few more dozen more walks for the two of us will lead us to an area of the ruins where the form of the structure remains relatively. This seems to be the destination where the transfer device is located.

It has been a little more than an hour since they said it. I won't tell you because when I put it in my mouth, the sky dragon depresses me.

"So!?"

There, a supermassive version of the familiar transfer gate was seated. Another obsolete machine next door is probably a transfer device that I've been using.

"The labyrinth city clerk said they built it to fit the size of a dragon. Exactly. Your mother's not coming in."

"What about the Imperial Dragon... hey, is the entrance to the infinite corridor this size too?

"I really think it's quicker to look, but you're a little off the route, aren't you? It's a little far from here, but the entrance to the infinite corridor is not comparable in size to this. Because your mother literally walks in."

... the point is the moon-sized gate? I don't know.

"I hear the gates of labyrinth cities are similar in size. Usually they just use human-sized gates that have the same functionality."

"You've heard from Damus that there's a real gate in the basement.... Is it that big"

That's just inconvenient when you're that big. Does that also make gates for human sizes?

Nevertheless, that is irrelevant now. What we're going to use is the transfer gate to satellite orbit on this planet. It makes me a little nervous, but that's why there's no obstacle to function.

When the two of us dived through such a huge and anxious gate, the missing end was a place with a strong scent of civilization.

It's not complete rubble like it was on the ground. In a building made of materials that are not natural objects, although it is the artificial fire that is not lit. That's the place. There are minimal lights, but these were prepared by labyrinth city officials.

Is it something like a decaying starbase that comes close as an image? I can relate that there was certainly civilization here.

"They say this was once a satellite built for ground observation. Observatory that observes civilizations on earth for generations of mankind and merely gathers information. There was always this kind of observatory on the planet where humans lived, and the dragons managed it? … before your mother was born."

"You asked the Imperial Dragon. You know, there was a space war with dragons and civilization retreated."

"This was used as an observatory after that," he said.

Follow the guidance of the Sky Dragon even after it arrives at the disposal satellite. If you take the wrong route, you still have a dying environment ahead of you, but compared to the ground, this one is something I can stand for a few minutes. Supergravity, unknown gas, and storms, they barely reach this altitude.

"And then the great scholar came out and created the next generation of dragons who think for themselves like the Emperor Dragon?

"Right. The sage himself took in the dragon factor and became a dragon man. He says his name is well-documented, and it's Gergial Hasha Feliciev Zardozelf Armande Luluciers."

"... What?

"Hehe, that's a long name, isn't it? Even so, since after Feliciev it seems like the individual name of the dragon that took in the factor when becoming a dragon man, will his name as a human be Gergial Hasha? There are no naming rules left, so I'm not sure."

"Oh yeah, then well, I think I can remember"

It's too long. Maybe an ancient Roman or something like that, but didn't he forget? Or Mr. Picasso, as they often say.

"His people are the only greats left of the name in this world. Of course it was your mother who created us, but if you think about the existence of that mother, you will be the ancestor of every dragon that exists."

"You're so great"

If the world hadn't collapsed, if the only malice hadn't appeared, that would have been the great man praised for tens of thousands of years. Most likely, the Sky Dragons didn't exist in that case.

"Hey, for example, as time can return just before this world collapses... what if it can destroy the only malice?

"Does that... mean you didn't do everything"

"That's right. Both the doomed world and the great men remain intact and proceed as nature. There's no collapse, no royal dragon crying... no you exist. Still gonna stop?

Sky Dragon's walk stopped. I'll stop at that too.

... I think that was a slightly mean question. A legitimate person would have trouble if he could put his existence on the scale. But somehow, I felt like the answer was fixed. She is the successor to the Imperial Dragon. Because he is indirectly affected by the Prisoner of Cause and Effect.

"If you can do that, of course you will destroy it. Other than me, it would be the same."

"Even if that's what denies everything that came out of it?

'Cause that's the existential significance engraved on our roots'

There is no stray. That's what I had my eyes on. And if she can actually do it, I guess she will.

Not just her, not any other dragon. If you're a dragon, don't get lost.... and I'm sure I do, too. That's how we're made.

Second, I could see just a little outside from the crack in the building.

Death stars covered in intense typhoons and thunder. I guess this is also a negative outcome for us.

... It doesn't matter at all, but I'm so scared of cracks that I can see outside.

-5-

Walking in an abandoned artificial satellite with only minimal environmental adjustments, about thirty minutes more. The elevator-like thing that was on the way is naturally not moving, so moving across the hierarchy is an emergency staircase. Labyrinth City officials also move their legs as they vomit their inner stupidity that they wish they could fix about an elevator anyway.

So make an excuse in your heart that you won't hit a bee if you look at the butt of an empty dragon going at the end of the stairs. In fact, he hasn't noticed.

On second thought, I found that when I was chasing the butt of the sky dragon while I thought I had to travel this way back, the walls, floors and other structures gradually turned into neat ones. There are cracks and such just because there is no debris, but still it would be pretty good compared to near the transfer device. Somehow, I felt close to the residence of the Imperial Dragon.

And I don't know what it's for, but it goes out into a place like an open hall. Around seeing something like a giant entrance or exit on some of the exterior walls, this could have been a lobby kind of place.

"Ha-ha, I've been waiting for you, Watanabe Ami!

As I stepped into that hall, a huge shadow stood from the aisle on the other side.

It was the Dragon of the One who stood before us.

Equipped with intricate armor that shines in silver, the figure is more of a machine than an organism. Seems like a sign of intent that the six wings spread out on your back won't let you go from here.

I can't read the expression. Not as discerning and hard as other dragons, but facial places are covered in armor.

"From here on out is the divine area where my mother lives. If you're gonna push through, you're gonna be ready, right?

I don't know where you're coming from, but that voice is flesh, not "Talk".

... even when they said I was ready, I was called here. Tuna more. I can make a good mistake, but it's not the internet, it's the rope.

"If you're ready, then prove it to me... no!!"

It was a line like the middle boss in the RPG, but along the way, a fan of sky dragons struck straight into the brain. With Scon.

"Are you an idiot, an asshole, what are you interrupting me! What are you doing to your mother's invited guests!!"

"But you are, sister."

"Shut up!! And Mr. Watanabe is a tuna, not an ami!!"

Modestly, it was exasperating. When Silver Dragon or Xuanlong did something stupid, it was just enough to sneer, but it is as angry as I have never seen before.

"I don't know what influenced you, but why are you suddenly rapping when you haven't spoken in centuries before"

I think it's a bad effect of a labyrinth city. It's Japanese.

"Please step aside. Out of the way."

"Ku, that's not going to work..."

Get out of the way.

"... Yes"

I was saddened by the figure of the dragon who moved to the edge of the hall when Sky Dragon told me. That's similar to the atmosphere he has been given the name 'Shit Dragon'.

Supplementally, his name seems to be 'Machine Dragon'. I don't know if the part that covers my body is actually a machine, but it's a name I keep looking at.

"Something's gone... I'm so sorry"

"No, because I don't care"

It wasn't particularly harmful.

Instead, I want you to be a little more kind to my brother. I don't know much about him, but I think he's better than a porn dancer.

"Totally no more...... too much without thinking about their annoyance. For the most part, even for today's tournament…"

and on the road ahead became the feather to be accompanied by the stupidity of the sky dragon.

I don't mind your stupidity, but please don't go the wrong way. If I'm bad, I'm dead.

"Well, there's your mother at the end of this aisle. I'm sorry, but you're on your own."

"Other than me, no entry or anything?

"I was stopped by Tales. I'll be here waiting."

I thought it was just a greeting, but is it something between the captives of cause and effect? Or is it hard to talk about when you have someone inside you?

Nevertheless, if we get here, we don't need guidance. The aisle is the main road, and you can see the door that lies ahead. Finally, you remodeled the residence of the Imperial Dragon, and only here have the walls and floors been properly repaired. Very easy to walk compared to the bumpy aisle so far.

One thinks while walking down the aisle. I have come this far without any particular concern, but under what circumstances will the Imperial Dragon welcome me?

It's that giant. It is hard to believe that there is a floor ahead that will fit your whole body. For a second, I might just be on the floor with my face in it. It's hard to even think that I can finish it with just a phantom because I'm going to go out of my way to get a place like this, but it's going to be a dumb painting. The problem is that the Imperial Dragon is too big in the first place.

The passage ends and stands in front of the door. Huge but human size. It seems like I can open it without any problem, but can I keep it open? Knock or something before that...... no, I didn't know the Imperial Dragon knew the rules around there......

- "What are you doing? Just get in there.

"Oh, yes."

When I was worried about what was going on, the Reading Story got me into it. I had no choice but to keep pushing the door in...... no, do you pull this?

When I opened the door and went inside as I struggled subtly and badly, it was an unexpectedly narrow space. No, I felt narrow because I was thinking by the body standards of the Imperial Dragon, and there's about a normal hall in terms of breadth. I mean, the size of the human standard.

Not so decorated, but this is between the thrones. In the evidence, directly in front is the king's sitting chair.

"Long time no see, Watanabe Tsunami. My compatriots."

There's no Imperial Dragon giant that can't fit in, and it's one girl sitting in a chair. … or it looks too familiar to react.

"... Empty Dragon?

"It's a dragon. I may look alike, but I can't help it all."

I thought you were rushing from across the aisle and waiting to get out, but apparently someone else.

I do have different hair, eye colors, and outfits, but I pretty much make every part together, so much so that when it comes to 2P colors, it seems like it could be deluded.

"What do you mean...? Did the dragon become a human too?

"What, even against the main body, I think it's hard to talk. I prepared a phantom for dialogue. The main unit is on top of this. And... in this case, it was polite to recommend a chair. Well, sit down."

"Oh, thank you."

A chair appeared near the Imperial Dragon. Directly across the throne...... in other words, in the middle of the hall. Super restless.

"Um, why are you looking like an empty dragon?

"As I said earlier, this is what a concubine looks like. Instead, he resembles a concubine."

What does that mean? The Imperial Dragon didn't become a human in the first place, so resemblance and shit......

"This is the image that would have happened if the concubine had been humanized. I don't know what your intentions are, but they have that kind of information in their backbone as dragons. A concubine is not a pure dragon, but a child with a man."

"I mean, she's a mother and a daughter, so she looks alike, naturally."

"That's different, too"

Didn't you? Something to talk about should have stayed that way when you were a dragon, but when you look different like this, you don't look comfortable. I wish I could put 'bye' or something at the end of the story anyway.

"Well, it also leads to what Nushi wanted me to ask, so it's just fine when it comes to it."

"Do me a favor?

What is it? I would do anything for the most part, but it's like being shaken up by something extraordinary again...

It's good that it doesn't really affect my schedule because I'm feeling overwhelmed with processing.

"What, if you think about it normally, you can talk about it. But when I look at what Nushi and Pestle are facing, I wonder if my concubine should assume the worst case scenario."

What we're facing is the collapse of the stars. But there is no element where the Imperial Dragon is directly involved.

... so far. I can't say enough for sure that it has no impact at all beyond this. Is that why you assume?

"What's the worst?

"If the concubine dies. You know that the sub-gods die in the usual way, but that's a very difficult situation to say."

Sure, if you want to do it now at Dammus, you can kill it, and on logic, maybe don't let it go even with a direct hit from Kugelschreiber.

And if it's possible... The Affidavit.

"Now I must have figured out a way to kill some concubines. I assume they are the worst case scenario. There may be others."

"You can't say you never will. Whatever the Dammus do, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't have the same kind of presence."

No, I guess he's actually here. There must be administrators of the infinite corridor to the only malice since the 300th level of the Imperial Dragon, and they should have the same "captivity of cause and effect" as us, although we don't look alike. I'm too optimistic to assume that such a presence does not retain the means to kill the sub-gods.

"Right. I've never seen a concubine face to face, but even a dragon of my ancestors would be possible."

Uh, it's an assumption you're not diving in the infinite corridor or, right? With the original specs, how ultimate was that?

"Apart from those assumptions. If my concubine dies, I want Nushi to protect Sky Dragon."

"I don't mind that...... just Sky Dragon? Silver Dragon, Xuanlong... and more"

"Of course I don't have Kiri if I'm going to expand the range, but at least I just want him to manage to survive"

That is not the wish of a parent who thinks of a child. It's something else. There is no room for pinching emotions, and there are clear lines drawn between the sky dragon and beyond.

"... may I ask why?

"I am the successor to my concubine. Worst case scenario...... even if the concubine perished, it wouldn't be over if she stayed. That's how I created it."

That does not refer to the end as a dragon race. What you're saying to me on this occasion is...

"It's almost a coincidence insurance policy. It's the only success story I've ever had, trying to create something close to a concubine."

So you're saying they look alike.... hey, is that also why only Sky Dragon has a female body?

"I don't think you'll need it, but I'll keep it in mind"

"Please. Well, I'm not complaining. I don't think that's an assumption."

Well, I'm talking about if you're dead. Are you going to be a black joke?

"Well, that's it from the concubine. Is there anything from Nushi?

"Ah...... and no especially"

I only came here to say hello on arrival. No, if you want to talk about the details, there's all kinds of things you might want to do about the dragons on the ground, but it's not like cutting them out here.

"Let's move on to another matter."

"... Isn't that the end?

"I'm done with concubines. Now, pestle building and communication connect."

"With Dammus?

And, at the next moment, a giant window emerged in the air. The screen shows the face of Dammus who is not in this world right now.

You mean the hotline between the world's representatives?

'Hmm? Is that enough? Tuna, are we done talking to you?

"It's over."

"You... weren't you on a dungeon offense?

Dammus on the other side of the screen is eating. I don't think it's very much in the middle of a dungeon offense.

'I told you I'd do my best. The Great Cave of the Abyss is under attack and under control. The attack is almost complete.

Oh, already? It's only been about three days...

"What, that? The way you put it, isn't the crust passage strategy over?

"Oh, 99% explored and mapped in the dungeon. The boss is the only one left.

"Why aren't you attacking me?"

"Dungeon, I don't want anything to happen when the attack is triggered. It's not an attack."

"Well..."

The purpose is to discover and counteract something that will lead to the collapse of the stars. Dungeon strategy is not an end in itself.

Hmm? That means...

'From the results, you were absolutely right.... I discovered a silo thing that I could clearly tell was the cause of the collapse'

... Oh, seriously?
