＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ Ling Er, the bird

Last Sunday of April. I was visiting a department store near the apartment.

Although the war between kingdoms and empires begins in a week's time, there are still things that have to be done in real life. I can't take off my college lecture, and my homecoming to my parents.

Schedule management is important, and that's why I need to get things done while I can't log in (...) like shopping.

Yes, I am currently unable to log in to Dendro.

It's not a death penalty. The process is close but something else.

In the week leading up to the war, it's the process needed to bring the level a little closer to Kanst.

So now it's not Dendro, it's a closer issue than war...... let's get ready for my sister's birthday.

Specifically, it is a birthday gift selection.

"... Well, what should I choose"

In the first place, I haven't celebrated my sister's birthday in a long time.

She's been flying around the world for a few years now, and her address wasn't even fixed. It was difficult to celebrate with my family or give gifts.

Such a rare birthday celebration for my sister. My mother will strain. Because I am also a college student, I also want to give something that is more sprinkling than when I was a kid.

"But the money I saved in part-time is about to go away,"

As I look at the money I put down from my account at ATM, I reaffirm my nostalgia.

Well, I haven't concentrated on studying and working part-time since July of the second year, so it might be rarer for me to still be around (because from that time on, I also sealed the entertainment).

Speaking of which, you used to work part-time for an expedition to study electric games.

I remember going to Kyoto on a night bus to get out of the tournament because the research group barely paid for it.

We arrived early in the morning by night bus, and the starry sky seniors who stayed at the luxury inn as they flew forward greeted us.

... That guy's golden absurdity sucked.

◇

Cuckoon.

"General Manager. Didn't the billing se ring earlier?

"No problem, Mr. Bird. There are only ten Shinazawa-san left scattered."

"... it's super much money for high school students"

"And that's crazy. Birth Ayle's new ammo, you should be able to pull an exclusive card with avatar today"

"No, you're lucky, so you won't always be able to pull it off. If you pull till we get out, we'll get out."

"Hey, Bird. I was wondering if you could pull it off instead."

"Yep... Don't resent me for hassle...... Oh, load in... I'm out"

"Bird King. Shall we even go eat BBQ? Luxury."

◇

That guy, there's a verse where he mistook the 10,000 yen bill for a gacha ticket because the house is rich...

And now my personal deposit is less than what was spent on chatter then.

I'm being sent to pay for my living, but I figured I'd do a part-time job somewhere.

My friends at the same time seem to work part-time except for Winter Tree.... I worry that Natsume will be okay with tutoring me on that face paint, but maybe the sign T college is strong enough to overshadow it.

And the thought slipped away. The part-time jobs are after the war, before it's my sister's birthday.

But what the hell to buy......

"... hmm?

What caught my eye was a perfume-lined showcase.

There may be a choice: perfume.

It's something I didn't give away when I was a kid, and the price is just right.

"... but which is better"

I have never worn perfume or bought it.

I tried blowing perfume, but I'm not sure if it's good or bad.

Smells better than Hell's Cheer, but that doesn't make it standard.

"Mukudri Sun?

When I was bothering my hand with the perfume bottle, I was called from the side.

The voice lord was Francesca, a neighbor of the apartment and an international student.

"Oh, Mr. Francesca. Hello."

"Konnichiwa. Look at the perfume, what's up ka?

"Uh... the"

"... of women's clothing, ready?

"I don't wear women's clothes!?

Womenswear, glasses and chemimi are NG!

... but well, if my neighbor's man was alone in searching for perfume, I can't help but be suspicious.

But it's not a reason to feel guilty, so explain it to me and I'll be fine.

"Well, my sister's birthday is coming up, so I thought I'd buy her a present..."

"Sister, I'm here, Desne."

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been home."

"Meet the sisters. Good thing Death. Me too, I have a sister. I gave you a birthday present last month, too."

"Heh. Did you?"

Francesca, who talks about her sister, smiled, so the sisters seem to get along well.

Still, is Mr. Francesca your sister?

Oh, then...

"I'd like to ask you for a reference to the gift you give your sister, what gift did Mr. Francesca give your sister?

"Robo... uh..."

Speaking of something, Mr. Francesca mumbled.

Well, is it my fault? For a moment now, it's like saying "robot".

But also a robot as a gift for your sister... no, maybe she's a little sister away from her age?

"... Rose. It's Rose in White."

But it still seemed to be a mistake to hear.

That's right. My sister who gives my sister a robot won't be like that.

"I see. A white rose."

Roses are certainly the perfect image for a gift.

Maybe a rose perfume or something.

"Then this bottle is also in a beautiful red rose perfume..."

"Wait."

Mr. Francesca holds onto my hand trying to get a bottle of red roses.

I was just a little surprised by the touch it conveyed to my hand and the cold in her hand.

"What...?

"Red, you better stop, wa"

"How could that be?

"Rose's Flower Word in Red," The Love of Men and Women, "So"

"... I'll stop it"

That's, well, subtle to give to my sister.

"By the way, what are the other colors?

"White roses, 'pure'. Pink roses are 'sleek'"

…………

'Sleek' would never suit my sister. Dangerous if judged to be a hit.

'Purity' sucks worse, "Are you fueling away that you're not married in Alasser? If it is interpreted as" etc... I will be mistaken.

"Um, no roses, I guess"

Whatever the smell and appearance, even include the flower words….

"What other perfume is just right..."

"Then, Verbena. Flower words, 'family love' and 'family reunion'"

"Oh, that's good!

That's a very peaceful flower word!

The perfume of Verbena that I tried is also good.

At least, my sister won't get me wrong.

Well, I wouldn't have done any physical damage if I said it was an intervention.

... worst, because it could be derived from Second Amazonas.

............... Yeah, it's traumatic.

Either way, thanks to Mr. Francesca, I was able to choose a good one.

"Thank you, Francesca"

"I got help the other day, thank you"

"Huh?... Oh"

I was told the other day and at first I wondered what it was about, but I thought it was when I carried my luggage to Mr. Francesca's room after a little thought.

"That's right. Before this, I couldn't serve tea, so if you like, why don't you join me? Extravaganza."

That's what Mr. Francesca said, pointing to the coffee shop in the department store.

"But I got help today with my gift selection, and I..."

"I'm older. Be luxurious... be luxurious, sir?

"... Yes"

I couldn't resist Francesca, who repeated it with an atmospheric smile that made me say yes or no.

Borrowings other than those within you shall be settled only as soon as possible.

If it is harmful, it is harmful; if it is beneficial, it is beneficial; if it is delayed in itself, it is merely shackles and chains.

So the act of treating tea to a neighbor in front of me, a boy you like (a college student who looks like) and paying back what you owe me the other day is necessary to me.

Earlier advice is like interest.

This clears the debt and I can freshen up a little bit.

A sip of the same tea I recommended to him, pouring it down the back of my throat makes me feel better about solving the challenge.

…………

But that's only a matter of time.

The starch of my heart is not so clear.

That's in me, because huge debts last more than a month...... subjectively, they remain for nearly four months.

Ray Sterling.

That man, who defeated me overwhelmingly.

I still can't pay my debts to that man.

Though I have decided to give it back in the war...... it's still real but it's nearly a week.

So now, he... clears his mind a little with liquidation to you.

The more I liquidate that way, the less weight my mind weighs.

…………

... and so on, but I already have a load that I will never lose.

Because some people have died without being able to repay their debts.

"Yummy......! The tea here is delicious, Mr. Francesca!

"Yes. Good."

Apparently he liked the tea leaves here too.

"It's in the store next door, it's for sale."

Co-located with imported grocery stores, this cafe is the same for managers.

Tea leaves were similarly imported and are my favorite store.

"Heh. Let's buy it. Perhaps a souvenir for your father and mother."

"... I think so."

Saying that with a happy face, I'm sure he doesn't have any certainty with his parents.

I don't think I'm jealous or anything like that.

The situation has been different since the beginning.

The emotions he has with his parents are not clear to me and far enough away to imagine a fantasy.

And the situation I'm standing in is not his fault... nor mine.

Everything, my mother is bad.

I'm not even willing to face the victim, but I'm the victim objectively.

Including Yuri and anyone who was my father.

"And this shop, the tea is delicious, but the interior is interesting."

"Yes."

Return your thoughts to the tea table.

I put the cup down. He puts his gaze around the interior of the store.

Apparently, you liked the same part as me.

It's an animal figurine, placed all over the store.

This seems to be an imported grocery store, and the store also has a line of small items made abroad.

There are many things that mimic animals in particular, and many colored objects and ceramics in wood carvings.

For me I've been fond of those things since I was a kid...... easy eye care.

It is not just for buying tea, it is also for this reason that we take a dose here.

"... eh"

But inadvertently, a figurine caught my eye... and my heart got a little rough.

That's something I didn't put away when I came to this store before.

It must be a new arrival... but I just think it depends more.

I know the name of that bird.

- White - cheeked Starling.

I once didn't hate this bird either.

But lately, whether or not I think of another face in response.

You must have noticed my reaction. He looked at the same figurine.

... Yes, it doesn't matter now.

You don't have to think about that till tee time.

Now all you have to do is enjoy tea with this guy's favorite neighbor and liquidate your debt.

But......

"- Oh, you also have a mukdori (...) figurine"

- When I heard his words, my thoughts to the brink were dispelled.
