＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

Sephiroto.

Needless to say, it is the most famous clan name in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

Of the ten constituent members, nine are a broken clan called Super.

[Goddess] Fatum.

[Artillery God] Eve Serene.

[Fighting God] RAN.

[Divine Beast Hunting] Carl Rulelu.

[Divine Knife Physician] Iliou Dreamroad.

[Play King] Grandmaster.

[Prodigal King] Manigold.

[Destroyed King] Alberto Schwarzkaiser.

[Shooting down king] AR I. CA.

Nine different styles. Total combat and responsiveness draw a line with other clans, and countless cases have been solved in the months since they were formed.

I guess the pearl incident I'm facing when my master drags me into it will be one of them.

But an essential part of the anecdote < Sephiroto >... the details of the clan owner at heart are riddled with mystery.

"It's not super", "It's deceptive information and it's really the < super > of the trump card", "Actually, Tian", "The proper < master > is the owner, in fact [the god of earth] is the owner", "Oh my God, the chairman of Cardina. The person is the owner", and other information is complicated.

The most anonymous person in the most famous clan. That's the owner of Sephiroto.

Mr. Manigold said he was going to meet the owner wrapped in such a mystery.

... I'm a master's apprentice (who was made), and although I took Mr. Manigold's request, I'm not even affiliated with Cardina. If I tell you, I'm an outsider.

Can I see him?

"It looks like you're thinking something, but don't worry about it. Nothing about the owner is top secret or anything. We just don't talk about it at our convenience."

"Convenient?"

"I'll know soon enough"

That said, Mr. Manigold moves on.

……

I feel like I've talked to someone about Sephiroto's owner before.

But that doesn't come out of the shelf of memory.

"You're here."

While we were doing that, we were arriving in front of a big building.

The building gate says' Dragnomad City Hall '.

"I see."

Previously, I heard that Sephiroto was a clan made of the work of the Cardina Congress.

That's why I was convinced that its home base was also in a public building.

"... what?

However, in front of the city hall where he arrived, Mr. Manigold inadvertently whined about something.

If you look at your ear, there was a [telepathic cuff], so someone must have contacted you.

"Okay. I'll be right there. I'm sorry, I'm in for an emergency."

Mr. Manigold turned to me and said so and apologized.

"I'll be back in an hour or so, so get in there and eat something first"

Mr. Manigold, who looked in a hurry, handed me a bag of gold coins and a piece of paper that said 'letter of introduction'.... references?

"Um, this is..."

Although he tried to ask questions, Mr. Manigold had already rushed out somewhere.

I guess it's an extra rush.

"... the form isn't too ugly because I can't. Zanen."

"That's why you're rude, Cuco."

Again, the hit on Mr. Manigold is tough. Pay attention to Cuco and drop your gaze on the references he gives you.

There you will find Mr. Manigold's name and the name of the restaurant across the street from the city hall.

The store owner wrote, "Today will be guided only by customers with references".

Apparently, it's a fairly layered shop.

Either way, we won't be able to get into the city hall until Mr. Manigold gets here, and we'll kill time at that store.

"Welcome"

When I entered the store, the clerk of the woman with the smile greeted me.

However, the outfit is wearing a white silk dress and doesn't look like a restaurant clerk.

Besides, "Welcome" didn't even come out in words when you welcomed us.

I have a sketchbook, from which I open a page that says' Welcome '.

A little... No, it's a rather unusual shop.

…………

"... Cuco?

When I walked into the store, my neighbor Cuco was pulling my sleeve.

"Go ahead."

In Cuco's words, I realized that the woman in the white dress who welcomed us was a Cuban compatriot… Maiden's < Embrio >.

There is no "crest disguise," nothing on the back of your left hand.

'Do you have a reference?

Maiden's woman rolled her sketchbook and asked me that.

"Yes, I do."

When I showed her the reference I had left with Mr. Manigold, the woman showed us to the store after checking what was going on.

The store is not too small or too large, and there are counter seats when there are five round tables.

The only guests other than us were women who hid their faces in the counter seats with something like Vale and middle-aged men and women who looked like couples on a round table.

"Please take this seat."

Me and Cuco get urged to be on one of the round tables.

'Our cuisine is at the disposal of the chef as requested. Do you have any ingredients or flavors you would like?

"Ah, then I'm on a menu with no meat and seafood. Eggs and dairy products are fine"

"Miscellaneous"

"Yes, sir."

Without moving to me for a menu for Obo Lacto Vegetarians and Cuco for the odd request for color designation, the woman wrote the request down in her sketchbook.

Then another clerk woman comes to pour water into our cup.

……

It was just a slightly odd sight.

The woman who guided us and listened to the order and the woman who poured the water is someone else.

But - he has the same face (...).

The hair and eyes were of different colors, and although what they were wearing was a grey dress, not white, the facial shape was an exact match.

Cuco said the clerk woman was Maiden.

If so, this woman is also Maiden, and what that means......

"... a hybrid with Legion?

"Enjoy your stay"

Without responding specifically to my whining, the woman who poured the water also presented the wording of the sketchbook and left.

…………

Does this store owner use Maiden with Legion as a clerk?

Maybe they also provide cooking aid.

Culinary specialty, is that Maiden too?

Maybe we can have some amazing food.

After about fifteen minutes of waiting, the first woman who led us pushed the cooked wagon.

That's how it was served before me and Cuco. It was... a normal dish at first glance.

Mine is a meatless spanish omelet filled with vegetables.

Cuco's was white carbonara.

... It looks like a very normal dish, although it is served beautifully.

…………

Me and Cuco look each other in the face but...... let's just eat.

After a light prayer, carry a piece of the omelet cut with a knife into your mouth.

- Heaven, earth, creation, creation.

Vegetables and eggs. The grace of the earth and the grace of life. Mixed together.

Widespread nature and I were born and bounced in my mouth and fused into a part of the universe......

"... Ha!?

For a moment, I saw something I shouldn't see!?

Nanicole!? Even Abu Nyksri is in there!?

"Kiku, Cuko, it's okay......!?

When I glanced at Cuco, who likewise ate the food, there was, as usual, a flat looking girlfriend.

Apparently she has nothing...... no.

The carbonara on her plate was already gone.

As if it were a nemesis, I have eaten it out in the meagre amount of time I have.

And she was beginning to stretch the fork she had in her hand to my spanish omelet with a strange face.

"Wait, Cuco! Identity! Identity of food habits What's wrong!? This is yellow and green and red!?

"Before this delicacy, everything goes beyond oblivion."

"No!? Lose even the bar reading!?

The couple at the other table seem to smile at us when they look around, although they are in a bad demeanor and panic in the store.

That raw, warm gaze is like, "That's what happens the first time you eat it, right?"

◇

Then I managed to get Cuco back to sanity and I flattened my omelet too.

I never saw a hallucination like the first bite because I was ready, but it seemed like it would jump around too delicious.

"How the hell did you make this dish..."

Like a super job in the cooking system?

"No, the cooking process and ingredients are normal."

Then I heard a familiar voice to respond to my questionable whine.

It belonged to Mr. Manigold, who came to the store.

"Mr. Manigold."

"I'm sorry. I was having a little trouble. I was the only one who could handle it."

That being said, Mr. Manigold sat in his chair and drank all the water offered to him by the clerk's lady at once.

"Get the chef."

"Yes, sir."

The woman nods at Mr. Manigold's words and heads to the back of the store.

"Originally fat. What do you mean," normal "?

I asked Mr Manigold like that about what Cuco had said about the food earlier.

"It stays the word. No cooking, no ingredients, nothing special. Even Job is a senior."

Aren't you doing special cooking with the help of Embrio?

"But it's so good..."

"I'll explain why the flavor is now. It also involves restoring [White Rose]."

"Huh?"

What does cooking have to do with restoring [Rose]...?

"What matters is that ordinary dishes are abnormally about delicious tricks..."

"... Mr. Manigold. I don't care if people say it's just a trick to the dishes that people are cooking very carefully... I'm in trouble."

At that time, a woman headed back to the store earlier came back with the hand of a man in a cocksuit.

On the man's left hand side is the crest of 'Woman standing in front of the house'.

I guess he is the cook and the < master > of these maidens.

"... and I'm still open"

"You won't mind. I'm only here now, inside and inside."

The man looked disgusted, but Mr. Manigold doesn't look like he cared either.

The middle-aged couple have already left the store after eating and the only other person in the store besides us is a Vale woman sitting in the counter seat.

Is that guy in there, too?

"Chef, introduce. This is Ar I CA's apprentice, the bizarre Hugo and his Maiden Cuco."

"It's Hugo Receps. Job is [Armored Pilot]"

"Cuco. TYPE: Maiden with Advance"

"Oh. This is... Hi"

When we greeted him, the cock man bowed his head with a pepper.

"And this one... is our owner (...)"

As he put it in turn, Mr. Manigold said so referring to the man in the cock.

To my surprise at the words, the cock man...... the owner of < Sephiroto > greets Mr. Manigold with an unpleasant look on his introduction.

"... Yep. Even though I didn't like it in my heart, I was made the owner of (...) Chef Practice. Nice to meet you, Mr. Hugo."

"Uh, ah, yes"

In addition to the sound of being the owner of the strongest clan that I really don't like, I don't even know how to give it back to him, who named him the cook in practice (Chef Practice).

But I remember (...).

that I had previously spoken to my master about the owner of < Sephiroto >.

- Ma, our owner's doing a restaurant, so that's okay!

- And the owner's shop is one of the most popular in the capital, Dragnomad!

True, that's what he said.

The wording "Restaurant" diverged too much between the owner of < Sephiroto > and it got stuck behind the shelf of memory and didn't come out inside......

"And they're my shop clerks. TYPE: Maiden with Castle Legion silky. This hair is also white. She is the original. The other five are Red Orange Yellow Green Blue."

When he introduced Silky, they met in unison.

It's a simple name that corresponds to the color of your hair and eyes.

And he's wearing a gray dress, except for the white silky, which was introduced as the original.

"Oh. And you didn't say it yet."

After the chef introduces himself, Manigold shows his hands wide open in the store.

And......

"Welcome to our home base (...), Restaurant Marcto"

I told him this restaurant was the home of Sephiroto.

... My master told me you run a restaurant, but did you also make it your home base?

"... Originally, that wasn't the name. They broke down the previous shop, and when I fixed it, it was named after Sephiroto..."

"... broken?

Noisy words came up.

"Oh, I used the shop in front of the chef at our first meeting. They collapsed after all kinds of killing each other."

It collapsed after all kinds of killing each other.

Too noisy.

... Well, it would only be noisy to rub in a situation where the battle system < super > came together.

"Don't worry. The cost of rebuilding it came from me and the Cardina Council."

"... there was a mix of [contracts] saying 'be the owner of the clan' in the relevant documents for the reconstruction. It's so hard to understand."

"I can't help it because the chef was judged the most round to be the owner. Anyone else was a relapse into killing each other."

"... it also said, 'If I moved to another country, I would go to jail'? Besides, it wasn't me or anything else, was it?

"... Alberto would have liked it, in character, but he won't talk. In the first place, neither he nor Grandma ran for office."

"... I'm not running at all, either? I was just involved..."

It's the right material.

"... if clerical and cooking is the job of a clan owner, I guess so."

Somehow, it seems complicated how the chef became a clan owner.

"... and then you pull the poverty lottery."

"Don't say that. There will be good things."

"... What a good thing it was to be an owner, to be able to learn to cook from many instructors at the chancellor's arrangement. … and then the store's basic performance (…) has improved more than before."

"Oh, this is the most robust store in the world right now."

Is this restaurant robust?

"... I'm not trying to be robust. Besides. The effect I'm looking for isn't that way."

"I'd like you to build a fortress and live there."

"... I don't want to live in a place like that, and I can't even open a store in a place like that"

"Well, it's hard to build a fortress on the back of this [dragnomad] in the first place,"

"... on your back,"

I could tell from the side that the two of them were talking based on some circumstance, but I don't know that's the spare person.

"Mr. Manigold. After all, what's the secret to cooking? Besides, what the hell is this store..."

"Well, the secret of this store is silky in a nutshell"

I can see that.

It is more in < Embrio > than in jobs and items that cause extraneous phenomena.

Even more so if it's Maiden.

But he said the food itself was normal, including the process.

Then the ability...

"I'll tell you from the answer first, Silky can double the performance of the building he works for"

The answer was well stated so as to block my guess.

"- And increasing the number of silky people working doubles the enhancement (...)"

- along with extraordinary additional information.
