Over The Infinite

-1 -

I woke up in a room that seems to be inside the Kugelschreiber. It's an empty room with no furniture or conditioning, not the room I was using during my voyage.

It is also the stretcher that was put to sleep, not the provided bedroom. It also appears to have been left here for the time being on the way to somewhere rather than during treatment or follow-up.

I guess the view I saw in my hazy consciousness was what I saw by the time I was transported here. I hate to think those Gauls were hallucinations, but not one around right now.

"I don't know about tomatoes and their physical properties, but they seem to have a lot of unusual creatures in labyrinth cities. No, I am now."

Sitting in front of you instead is a mysterious creepy life form.

It's this creepy tomato right after diving through that nightmarish retreat, that literal death fight.

No, the tomatoes themselves are fine. It's what I see, but it's also because I'm one of those people who fought with me on the journey so far.

The question is... why are you talking? You, weren't you like a semi-autonomous robot?

"I wasn't even interested in it before, and I forgot it even existed until I was honestly explained, but apparently you're in a much more interesting position"

... Previously?

You mean you know me? Or I don't know what you are, even if they say you forgot to exist. Instead, I didn't want to be involved with such a suspicious object.

... Oh, is this a dream? Yah, I need to wake up soon. I want to avoid the fact that everything was too late while I was asleep. If at any rate everything since the appearance of an unlimited amount of appearance is a dream...

"Is conversation possible? Watanabe Tsunami"

Immediately after, the automatic door opened and a second came into the room.... Apparently it wasn't a dream.

"Consciousness is cloudy, but conversation is possible.... or what the hell is this tomato?

"It's nameless"

"... what?

The answer came out without being particularly cloudy, but I didn't understand the second word. It's not that I don't understand it because it's in the current state where it's drained to the extreme, but it probably doesn't make sense even in the prime state.

"What, you didn't know who I was?

"If anyone could tell at first sight, they would have" Breaking Eyes ". Or he's crazy."

The mystery of the day Tomato doesn't deny it either.

Nameless means nameless. Even clearer than Taro Yamada, Kwon Dai, or John Du, it means unnamed.

But if you say so far, I know it's not used in that sense. There is only one dungeon master authority other than Dunmouth and the Imperial Dragon, and one guy who is able to grasp trends on the Labyrinth City side, plus anyone who could appear in this phase...... or one.

"... of the Infinite Corridor 200 layer administrator?

"It's nameless."

"Although administrative authority is mostly restricted. Certainly nominally, I'm still a dungeon master."

Seriously...... What a communal presence you've become. No, I don't think it's much different when it comes to creepy, but why, Tomato?

No, not now. It bothers me so much, but it's not important. Maybe I'm doing it with a story, but I can't even afford the spirit to hang out with you. Anyway, it would be the work around Dammus.

"... I have a lot to worry about, but I'm behind you. Explain to me what the situation is. What happened to Gergial? What about the countless appearances? How are the guys other than me doing? Is Sky Dragon safe? Do we have time in the first place?

If it has anything to do with that, I'd also like to add a commentary to the creepy tomatoes there.

"This is within a dungeon of rapid construction, so we've got some time to spare. Even so, it hasn't changed the critical situation yet."

"Dungeons......"

Yes, the system messages I saw before I lost consciousness should have been the same as when I was in the [stationary clock tower].

I mean, this creepy tomato...... nameless built the dungeon?... into the connecting corridors of this world? Are you telling me this was the trump card that was requested to buy time?... I don't know how this will improve the situation, but can I at least say that it made more sense than I am safe?

"It is an unstable space sandwiched between the world of pestling and the world of the Imperial Dragon, but it is apparently treated as the absence of an administrator. I didn't know if it would work because it's bump production, but it's something I'll try."

Nameless is throwing up a line that makes me so anxious, but now I leave it.... Are you sure you're okay, this guy?

"Is it okay to recognize that this is a dungeon, and that time is accelerating compared to outside the dungeon?

"No. The dungeon is not complete at this time. I also took in that myriad faces when I created the dungeon. I'm still in sync with the time outside the dungeon."

It's not the second, it's the nameless who answered. I was under the impression that I would only say what I wanted to say, so it was surprising that you would explain it properly. There is no denial, especially from the second. If this guy just speaks, I have to doubt the back, but maybe I can trust him a little bit.

"Well, there's time..."

"Those massive faces were moved to a physically isolated location. I don't know if the body will do anything about the size of the object, but it turns out they don't possess the ability to break through quarantine."

... I see. Is this what Ladine said about the isolation of space? I don't know how much authority the Dungeon Master has over the Dungeon, but just being somewhat freely controllable can be a facial remedy. In addition, if we block the corridor outside the dungeon, we can seal it off.

"Currently, combatable adventurers are forming temporary teams and hitting this response. Time control is expected when elimination is complete."

"You mean the adventurer is doing something like a monster to his innumerable appearance?"

"Definitely with that perception"

If there is an assumption that there will be no further increases, one day we will be able to eliminate them. Of course, I can't be distracted, but I can expect to delay the response if there is no amount of uniformity in overall intent. It's going to buy me at least some time.

"I mean, even if the adventurer dies, you think it's revivable?

"Yes, it will be difficult to return soon, but we still expect to be able to return to the front in a few hours"

"That robbery is dangerous, though. If you don't want to do any more damage, you should be very careful."

Then can I assume that the situation is clearly improving?

I also feel subtle because of the nameless intervention, even though the trump card seems to be on my side as far as I can hear, and I can't help but care at this time. No, I don't know what kind of joke this is.

"What's going on with people other than me?

"Berenvar Igmut and Ladine are already regaining consciousness and being treated in separate rooms. Sky Dragon, Dilk, Serafina and Clarice are in a coma and it will be difficult to make an immediate comeback even if you consider them due to injuries and wear and tear. The Borg is the core. It's the face that's safe, but there's no reserve for the body.... Watanabe Tsunami was not a good condition to move, either, but the situation alone made treatment a minimum priority for awakening. I'm sorry."

"I don't care about me. I think I just saw Gaul and Moyer."

The only people in this room right now are me, Second and creepy tomatoes.

"Including those two, we are collecting them with regard to those who were within range at the time of construction of the dungeon. Anyone who can move is organized into a team with no amount of appearance."

I mean, at that point, they were breaking into the corridor?

In addition to Gaul and Moya, Chimera is safe. But the cheapness of the beauty bow remains unknown.

I remember names and faces. I mean, it hasn't been taken, but it's not equals safe. Because even if he dies without being robbed, it's the same. I can't feel safe just because I remember.

"We are currently getting Berenvar Igmut to compile information that there is no impact of the seizure. This is expected to give some idea of the missing and dead other than the victims of the robbery."

"... what about Xuanlong?

"Death has been confirmed. According to reports, he died in the Battle of Gergial."

"It's just confirmation. I'm watching, too."

"... Really?"

... Damn. As you should have known at that point, it is also tight when it can be clearly poked at.

It's probably better than a takeover that erases traces of the past and makes no one remember, but it's very unlikely.

"... then Yuki is leaving too"

"The body could not be identified, but is it dead?

"The details are unknown, but they disappeared into grains of light during the battle with Gergial. I don't know if they've vanished from body to body, retrieved from a stripper, a prisoner of unknown cause and effect, or flown to a completely different place."

"... have you received reports of the innumerable appearance and even Gergial Hasha, are you adding"

No heart, or I can feel a shudder in the second voice.

Well, you're not kidding. such as the addition of paranormal beings that are difficult to deal with.... On top of that, if I'm bad, Ibarra and I might get involved. Don't be ridiculous.

"Though the details are unknown, I'll report it individually around there...... what happened to the key Gergial?

If we talk so far, the situation is starting to stabilize, albeit not to allow predictions.

But there has to be some reason why you're forcing me to die. It would be his presence that comes to mind first as a reason for that.

"As with the innumerable appearance, that person is trapped in the quarantine area within the dungeon… now silent without moving from the spot"

Is he not moving?

"I don't know what the intent is, but because of the lack of direct eliminatable power and the priority given to eliminating the number of appearances, no action has been taken."

"He must have an unknown means of movement. Even though they're quarantined, they can come directly in here."

I've isolated every space, and I don't know if it makes sense. I know it's better than not doing it.

"I half-forced you to awaken because of that confirmation. According to Berenvar Igmut, who awakened ahead, Watanabe Tsunami is the most familiar. If there is a possibility of engagement, we need to take action as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute. Ladine told me that he was going to cut a trump card to open the situation..."

Isn't that the result of this dungeon?

I gaze at the nameless, but I can't judge with a half laugh that doesn't move at all.

"What I assumed before I went into the nameless decompression process was even a measure of an innumerable appearance. I forced it because I don't have any other hands, but it doesn't include measures for that monster."

"Oh, my God."

Too serious a statement. It's just a nameless guy who acts like some other HR, but even this guy is more of a party than he is here... speaking of which, he was like this.

"... this is why I didn't want to put it to rest"

"I admit it's a one-handed thing, but I think I'm dealing with what you said when you asked me for help."

Tomato's expression, fixed with half a laugh, suddenly struck me with the illusion that it was the original expression of the nameless.

This guy is so worn out, he's like losing sight of even his own life and death. Even if what we were waiting for was total extinction, we wouldn't even care if there was some stimulus in the process. There is no more delusion going to the end of the infinite corridor than not being a prisoner of causation.... No, maybe it doesn't have a purpose in the first place.

"... for once I ask, do you have any countermeasures?

"I don't want to go further and destroy myself, so if I had a plan, I wouldn't be stingy to implement it.... I'm sorry, but I'm a real monster. There's too much difference, I even get the same impression when I'm relative to pestling"

You seem to think better than you thought, but it doesn't change that you don't have a hand.

The evaluation of Gergial can also be considered reasonable. After defeating the Imperial Dragon, most of its power remains unconfirmed. It is harder to say that even Dammus can surely deal with it than he is exercising the Affidavit, which is almost complete form.

"Of course, it's out of the question to take them down. Even assuming it was all-powerful, there's not a single element you can fathom. If it's just the innumerable appearance, there's a chance it could be parasitic and manageable. No, it's a restricted ability, so I can't help it."

Yabe. The desperate situation on the part of Gergial is felt clear for what seems to be a much more manageable amount of appearance.

"In the first place, do we need to do something about that?

... What are you talking about, this guy?

"The face is a menace that could be wiped out if left alone, but it doesn't mean the dragon man has no more questions, does it? If the life of the dragon's daughter is the end, just give it to me. More than the dungeon was built, there was a clear influence where the Imperial Dragon's world was destroyed… I'm afraid there's no precedent."

"Oh, my God..."

To words so irresponsible, there was going to be a backflow of missing blood.

But at the same time, I understood that if I saw the Kugelschreiber as a whole, it would be true.

Sure, his purpose is the life of an empty dragon. That's the top priority, and I wouldn't consider what to do with Kugelschreiber, etc. In fact, despite the only difference in power we have, we are not letting out any other dead than Xuanlong.

The impact on the corridors associated with the collapse of the world had to be taken into account before the dungeon unfolded, but the problem had already been solved as well.

Seeking help again after a clear rejection would make your mind feel bad, but it is not difficult to swallow the conditions. It would be easier if you didn't say help, just pull.

He is an incomprehensible lunatic, but he is clear and honest. I took it with me, so much so that I could assure you that I would never be left without it.

The only problem is my emotions and my Sky Dragon figure. Clear differences exist that are not worthy of consideration if you normally think about them, such as the survivors of Kugelschreiber, the threat of labyrinth cities, and putting them on the scale.

... what is irresponsible. I'm more irresponsible.

"I don't know about that."

After a brief silence, the door opened so as to interrupt the story. It was Berenvar who came in from there.

-2 -

"Berenvar Igmut. Did you get the list?

"As far as I can tell, I listed the names of the subjects of the seizure and their positions. We've confirmed that if we supplement it, we can recognize it."

That said Berenvar hands over multiple sheets of paper to the second. It would be a list of the victims of the robbery that the second said earlier.

The arm slashed by Gergial seems to be able to restore both.

"So, a little bit of a part?

"Yes, enough to fill enough holes to match the trail of the robbery victim. … but this is"

"It's the damage that makes me want to cover my eyes. So it's not a joke because it's still part of it."

"I will be your reference for the formation of the crusade.... I felt there were too few people in command, but I didn't know they were falling out of the house"

Even if I can only grasp it, it must be damaged on the verge of destruction. Even as it is restructured, it does not function locally with a missing core.

... Without a nameless dungeon creator, the Kugelschreiber defense would have been jilli poor.

"Thanks for the info. … so what did you mean when you entered the room"

The second person asks instead of me, who couldn't touch me.

Berenvar only looked at me once and kept going.

"It means whether or not the negotiations first proposed by that old man are valid at the moment"

"His purpose is to kill Sky Dragon. As a prisoner of cause and effect, I don't think that's a conceivable part."

Killing a pair of beings is no more than being presented as the first test. Because that's how we're made.

"Of course, that would be going to run. Neither do I expect that premise to shake. But at the moment alone, the priority seemed to tend toward obsession with you."

"Isn't that the story of the Imperial Dragon taking over his promises?

In that regard, what he values is the person who made the promise to the Imperial Dragon, not the Watanabe Tsunami individual. I don't think putting the pivotal part aside would be a priority. As whimsical as he said negotiating with me, that word wouldn't be a lie either.

"That would have been the case at the beginning of the encounter. But as a prisoner of cause and effect, you declared your way as Watanabe Tsunami. On top of that, even though it had the help around it, it has thus succeeded in postponing. Even though there has been some modesty, it would just be unexpected to be sticky so far.... In fact, what do you think as someone who kept confronting you from the front? Wasn't that old man's interest poured on you?

…………

What comes to mind is the look on his face when he imitates the Affidavit and forces it to activate.

That hand must have definitely stunned Gergial then. At that moment, his intellectual curiosity was satisfied.

"I'm not saying in that optimistic sense that that old man might give up killing Sky Dragon. It's only natural to complete it, and as a precedent, I'm asking you how to act as Watanabe Tsunami. Let me see what you can do to stop it."

...... stupid.

But if he's deviating as a prisoner of causation, he might have that idea and temporarily change his priority. Every time Gergial cornered me, he asked me, 'Is there anything yet?' Is that "expecting" me to do something unknown?

"Where you have withdrawn your foreword that has attracted such interest, I do not know if it will be easily accepted. I suspect there's still some hidden species out there, I expect. I don't feel like prioritizing his personal interests over the captivity business of killing Sky Dragon. Your scratch won't come true if it serves its purpose."

It was all a tease when I ran into him. There can't be anything like that now.

... Don't you trust me when I say there's nothing but a bad scratch on me from there.

I just don't get it.

"... I don't think you can understand. It's just that I felt like I looked slightly like that old man. And if you're winning, you really need to be able to fight another fight."

Berenvar still intends to fight to this point. Even if this guy's guessing correctly, I'm the only one who needs to be on the spot.

"... Tuna. Maybe the only thing he values is your will. But it's the same with me that I'm not willing to shut up and let Sky Dragon die. I haven't woken up yet, but Clarice would be the same. Whether they say it's not directly related, or driven to the edge of the stage, there's no room for compromise."

That's what you say and look at me. Berenvar's eyes convey the toughness of not saying this is my justice.

In fact, I am still not willing to offer an empty dragon after this situation has come to pass. Of course, I'm not willing to go ahead and sacrifice anyone but Sky Dragon. Berenvar says it's not just me, it's everyone who was there.

"So, in the end, is there a way to do something about it?

A nameless who doesn't read the air asks.

... There is no such thing. Even Berenvar wouldn't be saying it with a specific plan.

"It's not feasible as it is now, but if he can't move like this, he's got one shot."

But the idea was denied to him.

But there's nothing I can think of. Not as good as me, but this guy doesn't turn into a full-blown creative either. Where health and MP have recovered somewhat, one of the main strengths, Engraving, remains exhausted. The array requires a long period of heavy town time for immediate activation.

"... what are you going to do?

"Use the remaining" Return Engraving "and throw me out of the dungeon. With time in sync, it would be pointless where you throw it out, but if you eliminate the amount of appearance, the control of in-dungeon time should be advantageous."

That's the engraving technique for the escape of a dungeon that was asked one day.

I didn't think of it as a force of war because it's not a combat technique, but I do think I might be able to achieve that capably. It could be an unknown technique for Gergial. Even if we re-enter, if there is a time difference from outside the dungeon, it will be possible to twist out the time to adjust the attitude. It is certainly a valid hand.

… but after overcoming the premise that it is not achievable.

"... I know that this is an almost impossible big beating, even if I don't have to look at it like that. About thirty seconds from the start of the activation, there's no way you can stand it while it's almost indefensible and leaves a distance from him. He's literally the one who can destroy you while you blink."

I haven't experienced it, but I have information about the "engraving of the art of return".

An unparalleled convenience magic trick in a labyrinth city called Escape from the Dungeon. However, the filling time is a long period of several months, and the time between activation and the appearance of the effect is also required to be thirty seconds. Due to its nature, a long activation time is not an inherent problem because it is only used for about itself or a party, but it is too unrealistic to realize what we are trying to do now.

"But if you decide, you have a hand in buying time. So, whether you're forced or unreal, don't you still have other hands?

I honestly can't think of it, but I can't stop thinking any more than there's a chance of a fight.

Even if not, we need to eliminate the amount of appearance from the dungeon. Just because the other adventurers are in charge doesn't make it a good reason for me to sit down.

"In the meantime, you should just get ready. Berenvar, do you have Ladine's medicine?

"Oh, it's general purpose, but I'm also bringing spare gear"

I need to be able to force him to move, more than I know how long it takes for him to move. It would be a strong drug with a tight recoil, but you can move it now.

Take down the medicine you received from Berenvar. That's just heavy labor, but if the pills work, they should be able to move.

That way, I start getting ready at a stage where I can move a little bit. If you can secure a little power, you'd better hurry.

"Second, do you have the means to restore your arms?

"There are a few healing magicians who can do that, but they can't leave the front. There are therapeutic pods, but restoring the limbs will take hours."

"Then your left arm stays like this until you can twist your time."

Fortunately, I'm used to fighting without my left arm. Now I have the Awesome Arm, and for lack of pain, it's better than when I was in Castle of Blood.

While changing to spare equipment in Instant Costumes, we will check the condition of the body. Strong drugs and potions alone will be able to move if we recover like this for about 30% of all our strength. Unfortunately, more than that should require full treatment.

However, the Affidavit recoil is tougher than expected. More than anything physical, I feel terrible precipitation in the magic that flows through my whole body.

"I want to know how powerful the whole thing is. Give me the power information that's used to eliminate the countless appearances. And how many of those adventurers are likely to be at war, assuming that there will be a battle with Gergial?

"I have to say that a few people in the B rank, and not more than enough to count, are all out of battle if you consider my difference in power from the top of the information."

... Well, I guess so. Me and Berenvar, he can't even shape the fight.

A list of adventurers and the current state of engagement are listed in the Space Window.

... less than I had imagined. The same goes for the whole number of people, but just the number of people who are seriously ill and can't be counted as fighting force is good. Versus Gergial, of course, would be tough on a limited number of innumerable appearance opponents.

Dirk and Serafina, who are going to be hard at war, are also unconscious and seriously ill... it also seems to be a genuine coma, not like when the Talk of Reading was made. Gaul, Moya, and Chimera seem to be able to move, but honestly, if we can do everything we can, it won't be much different from us in terms of strength.

"It will temporarily reduce Kugelschreiber's ability to control, but I am also combatable. I was wondering if it would be possible to enter the war if it were in such a state that there would be an eye for eliminating the innumerable appearance."

"That would be appreciated"

Speaking of which, don't count the second as a force of war either. On the contrary, it is close to the finest if within conceivable limits.

"... for once I ask, can a nameless fight?

"You can't. Assuming the worst from pestle construction, some Dungeon Master privileges have been deactivated, but otherwise this is one of them. I wouldn't say no if you told me to kill you, but if I could, I'd like you to use it for something interesting."

Is there anything wrong with attacking Tomato?

"If the nameless dies, we lose control of the dungeon, so please do it without. Please keep me company."

"Right. I wanted to talk to that dragon man."

... You know what I'm saying, this guy.

"I don't know if I'll need it, but I'll show you all the information I know here. I will answer any questions you may have, such as changes in the situation on the Kugelschreiber side."

When the second said so, a large number of space-sky windows appeared.

In addition to the adventurer information just displayed, the chronological order and details of the situation that occurred in Kugelschreiber after I contacted the second. There is also information on the general public housed, material information such as weapons and protective equipment and consumables, the state of maintenance and current use of the various on-board installations, and simplified structures in the dungeons.

What is noticeably changing in the display content is that the second one is still processing it in the back while we are having this conversation.

"And I'll give you this"

"... what is this"

Handed over is a piece of mysterious metal. It doesn't even look like some kind of storage medium, but it doesn't have a connector.

"Original data provided by future people, including S6 shadow data."

"Why would you do that?

The data for the simulation has been copied to each device, and any other information should have been reviewed to the point where the holes are empty. Even if there was a loophole from what was provided until it was disclosed to us, we'd just have to show it here.

"It's virtually like amulet...... but there's a black box there that's not parsable, not copiable. There is also the possibility of data that makes no sense at all, but there is also the undeniable possibility that some kind of thought is hidden. Then the Watanabe Tsuba should have it."

"... ok"

I don't know what Erica was thinking, but if there's anything going on in this situation, it's probably something centered around me. Anyway, if this is what you currently need in progress, if there's nothing more than what it means to be original, there's got to be no problem with me having it.

Check the window displayed by the second as you prepare, the time before the medicine works.

Of course I was aware of the war situation, but I was also wondering if there was anything in the various unconfirmed information that would tip me.

There is also a history of communication with Dammus, but there is no significant difference from the information I have, so much so that the timing of the complete interruption is clear. I don't know if I've also received the data from the status report that the second sent just before. Even in the situation on the other side, the last known information is that the pulse of the example light is continually increasing.

Also check the chronological information on the Kugelschreiber side, compiled according to the information we contacted.

The information started right after I contacted the second.

Immediately after the communication, the Kugelschreiber will be ready for launch, while being called evacuation training and will begin to be accommodated on board. At the same time, evacuation training to shelters for the general public is also provided for residual residents. Residents of labyrinth cities, who are accustomed to doing rushing things without prior contact, began evacuation without any particular doubt, he said. Instead, the problem at this point was the way it was transmitted to the dragons who were in the neighborhood, and they didn't even understand the concept of evacuation training. They saw considerable delays in their internment.

At the stage where the general residents have completed their journey to the shelter, is it about time before or after we travel to the satellite?

Since no particular problems have arisen at this point, the second will ask some adventurers to ensure safety between the departure site and the shelter. An adventurer who had taken a serious view of the situation rushed to the shelter, explaining and guiding residents to avoid as much unnatural exposure as possible, he said.

After that, they were going to move to training: travel to the departure site, internment on board, even if nothing happened.

It wasn't until after that that that things moved. Combining the information, at this time, an unlimited amount of appearances activated the "Nameless Realm". Suddenly, massive faces appear on the ground as well. The general public, as well as most adventurers, panicked.

There is no such thing as decent control. You can't recognize the means of attack of being robbed of your face and name, or if you forget about the victim who was robbed. For those who stayed on the spot, it suddenly seemed like a kaonashi appeared without even realizing that the person next door had been seized.

Many people were burned to the brain as it was by the amount of information they tried to "break through". Though Dirk had some detail at this point, the warning was delayed due to a lack of communication and the "Reading Talk". I don't know if I'm lucky, but the brain burned died intact without being robbed, so I seem to be aware of the dangers of the Nursing, but there are a number of victims that cannot be ignored.

The shelter was isolated with large numbers of ordinary citizens and some adventurers. Kugelschreiber was unable to leave the harbour because the adventurer and the dragon's kaonashi had broken out. The Kaonashi opponent's defense battle begins, seemingly emerging from the inside, without even being able to grasp the situation.

It was also around this time that the small boat preceded it, with six selected people aboard and leaving for the rescue request. Because it was an unprecedented means of travel, even though we could leave hell, and because we couldn't break our defensive hand, one adventurer is composed of five general staff of escorts. The safety of these six men is unknown, but it can be seen that at least they have not been taken away from the fact that their names remain on the roster.

Confusion after confusion. When the front began to stabilize at the bend in that, Dirk and I connected. By this time the means of communication had been painstakingly secured by the hands of officials other than Ladine and adventurers, so the transmission of information within the Kugelschreiber seemed to have worked well.

The problem is dealing with the isolated shelter side. In situations where there is no means of communication and the travel route is blocked by the face, there are limited means that can be dealt with.

Some adventurers forced him to the shelter, saying that if left alone, he could be wiped out. The roster of enforced adventurers remains, but their total numbers do not match at all, and there are many missing names. Perhaps most adventurers were robbed during a forced or sheltered defense battle.

Even if you look at the roster of general customers, that number is small. Compared to the total number, it seems almost total annihilation.

... but not wiped out. Of course he could have died before the seizure, but if you look at the number of adventurers whose names remain on some of the rosters, you can't deny that even a small number of them survived. If so, they are still forced to fight an endless, invisible defense battle in the shelter.

Thus, the Kugelschreiber's emergency launch was ready.

Although the departure was successful after accommodating as many personnel as possible and eliminating the kaonashi, it did not seem possible to shake off the large number of faces stuck on the hull.

Although I have noticed the anomaly, no measures exist. And a new hand just slightly advanced down the corridor between worlds...... Nirvana silence appears. Not as one as we encountered, Kugelschreiber, attacked by multiple Nirvana silences, fell unnavigable again.

As it stands, the second goes into preparing to open up the nameless if the damage could even reach the labyrinth city.

It's the kind of hand that was not originally intended to be used and was prepared just in case. As it took a long time to unseal, we broke into the corridor and Gergial appeared after it.

Most of the descriptions we've experienced since then. It would have been reported by Berenvar, who woke up early.

"... how tragic is that?"

It's just a list of facts, but I could imagine a tragedy that just covered my eyes. The exact damage would be quite severe because the seizure leaves out information that cannot be verified. Labyrinth cities are also badly damaged, but dragons and others are almost completely wiped out.

Hope is that we were able to deploy the dungeon, and that we are likely to be able to eliminate the effects of the innumerable appearance from it, and the rest is about the small boat that preceded us.

"I couldn't afford to break my thoughts apart from combat so far, but there are a few puzzling points about the seizure of an unlimited amount of appearance. There's a good chance nothing will turn around from what we've just talked about... but you better know"

"Impossible?"

Beside such confirmation of information, Berenvar opened his mouth.

Speaking of puzzles, the seizure or his very existence is puzzling, but it would be a little clearer than purposefully speaking.

"Since the launch of" The Realm of Tampering ", the takeover has been carried out by hands stretching out of that face and Nirvana's fingers, but I can't recognize the damage of the takeover."

"You've been saying that all along."

For us, Kaonashi is a mysterious enemy that has suddenly emerged, but Berenvar sees his original face and name, and his memories remain.

"Even if I leave my traits behind, my face and name remain there. Nothing's changed before or after the seizure."

"... right"

That much I heard, I didn't know what Berenvar was going to say. Whatever Berenvar's perception is, it doesn't change the fact that it was taken from us.

"What I thought was that they weren't actually robbed.... I don't know after" The Realm of Namelessness, "but at least not at the moment."

…………

"So I can't say, and I don't think, that there might be a way to take it back until the end of" The Realm of Namelessness. "But instead of taking it directly, it could be something that could be established by following some kind of procedure."

Maybe it should be remembered. I'm not talking about this right now, but the information from an unaffected point of view is the information we need "to destroy him eventually".

"There's another one. Gaul told me that those white hands had a slight time lag in place by the time of the robbery. Even if they grabbed him, he would immediately slash him off and not shake him off, so he would be spared the seizure. That's probably why Miyumi was not swallowed up in your face, or that you were safe when you were swallowed up by that turbulence."

"Berenvar... are you going to defeat him?

This is not the information that will make the present better, it is the information you need to confront him in the future.

Berenvar recognizes it as an enemy to be defeated, not as a disaster without the art of fighting the arr.

"Naturally. Innumerable appearance is an evil to be destroyed, an outer path that must not be allowed to exist. There's no room in my justice for that existence."

Berenvar says he fights Alle, regardless of whether he's a prisoner of cause or effect.

And if it's the cause and effect of captivity that you keep fighting, whether you die or reincarnate, it's also information that I need to remember.

"... Now, is it time to move?

"Oh......"

Open and close your right hand to see how it feels....... I'm fine. I can take combat action.

"... I'm fine. In the meantime, I'm gonna join you in eliminating the innumerable appearances. Second, keep Gergial under surveillance. I'll be in touch as soon as there's any change."

Copy that, sir.

"Do I have something to do? I've gotten used to using small rooms lately, so you can say anything."

"No, keep your nameless company"

It's not going to be a force of war, and I have trouble getting moved poorly. I'm not going to use a guy like the evil chief as a barn.

"Now please head towards the transfer gate installed in the Kugelschreiber engine room. From there, to the compartment that Gaul and Moyer are currently dealing with... Watanabe Tsunami!!"

Suddenly, a screaming voice rose from the second speaking in plain language.

I can see Berenvar's eyes wide open. I'm the one with those eyes.

But it's not my face whose gaze is pointing, it's more down... around my abdomen. From there, some kind of blade is popping out.

It penetrated from my back to my abdomen. That looked like Gergial's fine sword that I had seen several times.

The sword is shaken by a crosshairs, and my torso is cut in half.

Where the hell was it attacked from? Shortly after I turned around to make sure, this time they grabbed my neck from behind.

"Tuna!!"

Berenvar comes closer screaming.

The distance from Berenvar was felt far, not even in a large or large room.

... No, it's actually far away. I'm drawn to the back by a hand with my neck grabbed.

Too suddenly I knew what was going on, and I was dragged behind what was almost irresistible and nothing was supposed to happen.

-3-

"Ahhh!!"

The next moment, my vision turned and I was thrown to the floor. That's not the floor of the room I was in earlier, it's a stone floor.

... What happened.

"… well, do you still have something, Watanabe Tsunami"

If you look up, there's an old man there to be wary of at the top of your list. The words of inquiry don't just say that this is where that battle continues.

"Ho...... ru gear"

It was a chamber surrounded by stone on all sides.

I don't know what means, but did they force you to move?

There is no Berenvar, no second or nameless indoors. It's as if only me and Gergial had confronted each other from the beginning.

Blood flowing from the abdomen dyes the floor and spreads rapidly. Even just not enough blood was lost and consciousness seemed to be interrupted even now.

"No disrespect. They made me do the offense to an extent that I wouldn't die because it's troublesome to be resisted. I'll treat you if it sounds serious, okay?

"Oh, my God..."

It's a line and an attitude that you obviously don't consider an enemy.

Berenvar's inference that he's going after me over Sky Dragon, but isn't this guy expecting me to do something?

"If it's rescue, you shouldn't expect it. This room detached from the dungeon. We won't be able to identify coordinates now, and we won't be able to observe them. Of course, transfer is impossible, and suicide is futile because they don't survive death. The camouflage operation broke a lot of bones."

If that's the truth, it means he was put in a predicament without any foretaste. There's nothing this guy can't do. It's a monster.

"Well, it's a situation where there's no afterthought in common sense, but you've slipped through my hands with two or three turns so far. Still got something, huh?

"There's... there's no way, there's shit"

I can't breathe. Just stay conscious.

Regardless of the injuries from full speed, I can't even stand up where I have recovered somewhat.

"... Hmm"

Suddenly, I got kicked.

I can't resist, I can hit the wall. Shit, what the fuck?

"I can't see you while you're crawling. I don't think I'm going to hurt you or kick your ass."

Gergial walked and came to me, hanging on the wall.

"That was pretty funny, Watanabe Tsunami. Appearance of rescue using the Affidavit. It is this dungeon that forces my Affidavit as it is to be activated and given to the intrusion of an excavator, a stripper's observer, which causes even a conceptual collapse, on the overlap of the Affidavits of almost the same content"

Most of them aren't me.

I want to say it back, but I don't have a voice. Instead, stare at it with your will.

"I don't think all of this is the hand you've been hiding, because it's the nature of the captivity of cause and effect that causes something to happen in distress. I don't know if that's true, but I'm sure that's what you have."

Gergial crouched in, grabbed my hair and made me look up.

"So whatever you think right now, something could happen that I'm going to pull over from here. If there's anything out there, it's definitely beyond my comprehension. Come on, what do you say?

"Know... Ruka"

"As I said when that observer showed up, this singularity must not seem created by someone's will"

Certainly unnatural. Too many causes and consequences are too intertwined.

As I was told then, I feel this is created by someone's will.

Is that the Imperial Dragon, the Gergial, the unlimited appearance, the stripper, or my ghost of being against existence? Or…….

"... but Watanabe Tsunami. I have something close to half certain that this was painted by you.... Oh, I don't want any answers. Because it's good for us to move things around, regardless of superficial intentions."

What the hell is that...

"So let me see"

Gergial peeks into my eyes. I'm trying to peek into my nature with some supernatural force I don't know how to handle.

"Ya... meh"

"Say no."

I can see something intense penetrating. I don't know who I am. I feel a whole peek in and exposed.

I feel a gaze revealing the truth leap over the beast of causation that sleeps at my bottom to my "original sin".

I feel a fear I've never felt before. My heart is shattered by all the whining and telling me to kill you first. This guy is just watching.

"Ku......"

My hand grabbing my hair breaks away. I rolled to the floor, unwilling to resist.

"Ku, ku ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"

It was an unimaginable laugh and an emotional revelation from the previous Gergial.

"Gel...... geal"

"Knock it off! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't think it was this far, Watanabe Tsunami. You're funny."

What the hell did this guy see? You're saying there was something in me that made this guy laugh so high that he didn't express his feelings for Loc so far?

"I see, I understand how your opposite being, Ibarra, has such a powerful soul. It's impossible to contradict them from the ground up."

"... Mm... Jun?

"That's right, Watanabe Tsunami. Your versus being awakens trigger... your death. The pair you set aside to take up the stage as a prisoner of cause and effect is born by you getting off the stage. It means I'm waiting for you at the end of the road that never crosses."

What... are you talking about?

"After all, it was you who created this singularity. To pay the impossible price and cause the unlikely event, it is a great thing to repeat the contradiction and use it to the point."

"... me,?

... created this tragedy?

"Are you even after closing inside and self-destructing? Or do you want so much penance? Oh, I'm a sinful predator, he said. The taste of sin that whimpers and eats in tears tastes delicious."

Gergial lines up the hard words, judging both cursing and sarcastic.

"No, no, it's great. Don't make me want to suspect you're really human. I'm afraid this hasn't even reached the sub-gods yet. It's understandable that a stripper would bother to create a pawn and observe it."

Are you saying that this situation where Gergial can catch up on countless damages is my do-it-yourself?

"Fine, Watanabe Tsunami. I'll admit your thoughts are completely beyond me. I'll get you on top of that. See if you can do it at the end of this purgatory."

"What are you talking about?"

You don't understand alone and conclude on your own.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you pretending not to know? I'll make it easy for you to understand.... this is where you reach. This is where you're going. Giving you death here is the end of your stage."

"Heh... to...?

The sword of Gergial is raised high.

That cut is definitely directed at me...

"Goodbye, Watanabe Tsunami. We're done here for now. … I'm counting on it."

Keep it up, they swung it down.

- Death.

"Hence Watanabe Tsunami died and was pulled down from the stage set up by the do-it-yourself"

When I realized it, I was in a space where there was nothing. That resembles a forgotten sight, once seen during a rookie battle.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... That concludes the story of Watanabe Tsunami. There's no way out of here."

Or I think I saw the same sight somewhere else. It's a forgotten memory every time you experience, understand, and...

"... in short, this is your limit"

It is one man who stands there.

The way you look too familiar is something that can't help but provoke my passion.

"Originally, there was no way to get ahead of Watanabe Tsunami. Definitely a game board with no winning muscles. I should have given up there, but at a great price I tried to force myself to create a winning muscle. The result is your imaginary world. It's the altered, distorted back world."

It's a maliciously painted figure that can't even be allowed to exist in front of you.

I'm the only one who disgusts me, taking the form of the most unforgivable person in the world.

"As a result of the alteration, too many beings interfered with that singularity, intertwined, and caused causes that were not normally likely to be robust. The cause and effect of being too strong does not remain only in that world, but flows out to the world where it is supposed to be, and its parallel worlds. In that way, the cause and effect of the stars' collapse became entrenched in every world. It's a brilliant reversal of cause and effect."

The word is true. It's just a juxtaposition of facts I already knew.

... right. My death is where it all started. He forced himself to open a path that did not exist, creating a hell that could not have existed.

"In other words, in a world you've altered, you've been defeated, and your death has caused you to become involved in suicide bombing up to a world that has nothing to do with it. Awesome, Oi. It's mostly your fault. I knew you were right to die, right? In the first place, I'm talking about dying a lot before I caused this."

Even the collapse of the stars starts with my death. I died and Ibarra woke up using it as a trigger.

Even if the ghost didn't put his hands down directly, it's true that the stars caused it to collapse.

In the first place, Ibarra was there so that this was the game over. He said he lost when he woke up.

"Dammus would be a good nuisance too. You got caught up in this, and your only existential wife was killed."

Yes... the collapse of the stars is due to Dammus... Pestle Shingo's rampage.

The cut that caused that rampage was the labyrinth city lord, which was caused by other deaths.

"How are you going to end it, dude? Don't shut up. Say something, Watanabe Tsunami.... Oh, I just looked like Watanabe, too."

"... I am"

The man in front of me was Watanabe Tsunami. It's not me now, it's a malicious appearance created to resemble me from a previous life.

"You have a reversal eye, don't you? That's all you got, so you're doing this roundabout, right? Have you ever found out about your guilt? Anyway, you're the only one complaining."

"... shut up"

"I won't shut up. I'm the only one who has any ill intentions. The only thing that would encourage you to go infinitely further. The stripper put it out and plotted it, 'cause it's like an afterthought."

"... shut up!!"

Even if you scream, Watanabe Tsunami looks like he doesn't eat anything.

"Which way, this is the end of the line. No more pretending to look and not see. If you keep going out of sight any longer, everything will just go to waste. The sins you've committed, the people you've wound up with, the world you've fed will all be in vain."

Naturally. It can't even resonate with my heart, such as my own howl.

"Beautiful Bow said not to give up when you die. I'm right. And because we created hell without giving up, this is how the last branch was prepared. Which one do you choose when you're presented with an impossible option?

"I..."

"You just need to look at it for a second. Just admit that you are a great sinner, and the road will be cleared. It's the beginning of further purgatory to reach infinity."

Remember. Stop pretending you forgot. It's just that it's too heavy.

"Make up your mind, Watanabe Tsunami. Make up your mind and clear the way to kill me. Because you don't have any more. Come on!"

The only malice is whispering. It's just that it stains me so badly.

This is the last branch that was created by force.

-5-

"Are you asking me... I've already told you to talk seriously because of me."

Shortly after Gergial's sword was swung down, the view was abruptly switched. A glorious sight, somewhere familiar, like no other. I stand in such a place.

"No, because it's a really big serious story. So much so that Tuna changes your outlook on life and everything else. And then, you know, life design."

He's right in front of me and he's talking to me...

"... Lirica?

"Huh? Oh, yeah"

You can't go wrong, it's Lilica Adenfelde.

But you can't be here. Lirica did not ride the Kugelschreiber and is still in the labyrinth city. I'm in a labyrinth city... and I should be at an intermediate promotion ceremony for adventurers...

"... promotion... ceremony?

A party venue colored with gorgeous decorations. I'm a suit that doesn't look good, and Lilica's the first dress I've seen.

Someone is greeting you on the backstage, and the cross section decorated behind it shows the letter 'Intermediate Promotion Ceremony'.... it's the same as when me or Yuki joined.

"Stupid......"

What is this?... Why am I here?

Are you telling me you're back in the labyrinth city at the right time to be killed by Gergial?

It would be unnatural to die in a dungeon. In the first place, I thought you said he disconnected from the dungeon so he wouldn't survive death.

"Oh, that? What's the matter with you?

Lilica talks to me with an anxious face. I wonder how weird you looked.

It's no wonder Lirica's here. Because he was originally promoted and was scheduled to participate.

... The strange thing is my presence here. Why isn't Lirica wondering that I'm here?

"You're not feeling well or anything? You know, I got sick wearing an unfamiliar suit."

"I'm sure you're not used to it... but in the first place, why am I wearing a suit?

"What?"

What are you talking about? This guy's got eyes on me.

It's been a reaction I've been having lately.

"... no good. Let's get one thing straight."

"Ugh, yeah. What the... the hell"

I don't think Lirica in front of me is a phantom or a fake. I also feel close to distance for some reason, but it must be Lirica.

Is that a dream? Even so, why are you dreaming like this...

No, it's not a dream. The vivid sensations transmitted to this body are not dreams.

"... First of all, where am I?

"It's a ceremony venue, though.... er, celebrate who's become an intermediate adventurer? It's a venue."

"Why are you doubtful?"

"No, you didn't imagine it was like a party like this... more like a party at home"

Oh...... sounds like something real, dude.

"Why am I here?

"Why... because I've been promoted to intermediate adventurer"

"... what happened to the pandas?

"Panda?... panda..., panda came out in ten layers... oh, speaking of which, I think I heard there was a panda who became an adventurer... eh, you're already promoted to intermediate?

No, no, the story doesn't mesh.

... but somehow the situation has come to grips. I don't really want to admit it. It's a guess...... damn, you're kidding.

"... So where did the" Philos "go?

"Huh? Yeah..."

You seem to have the right expectations, but why would you say that? It's not what I thought it would be.

"Uh, I mean, I'm taking my seat off a little bit... you're asking me to take it off"

"I'm not sure how you react, but you're saying he's in this ceremony, right?

"That's the same party member... yeah"

Somehow, but I see. No, I don't know why I'm here...

I've been painting a phenomenon that hasn't been so busy. Something doesn't make sense, but it doesn't surprise me to this extent.

... This is a parallel world.
