＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ ■ Yuri Götier

It is me, Yuri Goetier's story of the past and present.

I was born into a family in southern France, classified as upstream.

My father was a bourgeoisie who built enormous wealth in a generation.

My mother was a former stage actress and was gentle and beautiful from my point of view, a child.

And a proud sister who was both talented and warmly treated me away from the years.

That was my family, and it would have been a privileged environment from the outside majority.

Yet I saw something else from the inside out.

My father had only business talent, but he was greedy, arrogant, and he hit my mother hard.

My mother endured such a husband, while trying not to show her child a hard bare gesture.

My sister was always nice in front of me too, but she looked like she was worried about something.

I remember.

Sometimes, my mother took me to see the stage at the theater that my mother was active before marriage.

My mother's eyes enjoy watching theatre on stage, rather than saying I miss the old days... that I seemed to regret something.

I remember.

That my sister was worried about the future in her own room.

I had no inconvenience in my life.

My mother and sister, as well as my father, were kind to me.

The world was kind to me.

But other than me... the world surrounding my mother and sister seemed to be getting worse.

Such a life went on for several years after I was tempted...... my parents got divorced.

The reason for this was my sister's evaporation.

Apparently, the autograph letter contained a few words of farewell.

Although I had not read the letter, it was clear that my sister had left the house of her own free will, not the incident.

I knew why, so I did not wonder if I felt sad.

Until a few years ago, my sister taught art from her maternal grandfather.

The trigger was Dylan, who my sister had...... when her pet Iguana died.

My grandfather created a plaster statue just like Dylan for us who were grieving.

My grandfather wasn't good enough to be known as an artist in the world, but my sister really liked the statue of an animal made of plaster.

Thus, while my grandfather taught me, my sister was also making plaster statues of herself.

Even after my grandfather died, my sister kept making animals out of plaster statues.

The day before my sister evaporated.

All the plaster statues my sister had made were crushed.

On the contrary, everything my grandfather left behind had also been destroyed.

It was my father who did it.

While crushing the plaster statue my sister made, "How long have you been doing this," "You've already decided where to send it to my wife," "If it stinks of plaster, they won't like it," my father repeated such a curse.

Before the shattered statue, my sister looked at my father with terribly cold eyes.

So my sister left with one letter to put down.

My father was furious, and my mother also exposed the depression she had been accumulating, saying that her sister had evaporated because of each other.

If I let my father say, "Because I let him keep up with my grandfather's dojo and make him remember his funny taste".

If I let my mother say, "Because you did not spare her feelings at all," he said.

Thus, as a matter of course, the two divorced.

I was taken away by my mother, and after that I was to live in another part of the world.

In this series of lives since childhood, I thought of one thing.

- I wish I could have protected you.

My mother, and my sister.

I thought at a young age that if I had been able to protect them from what would have annoyed them, it would not have ended like this.

I strongly hoped that it would have been a man who could have protected them, like a knight, like your son, who appeared in a play my mother had taken me to watch.

But when it was a wish that would never come true (...)... I myself understood at that point and was therefore smoking.

◆

Years after my parents' divorce...... my wish was to be fulfilled by something.

That's a game.

Game named < Infinite Dendrogram >.

In the game of offering the New World and my own possibilities, I became… "I”.

Yes, I became the [High Pilot (High Driver)] Hugo Receps of the Drife Empire in the < Infinite Dendrogram > world.

Hugo is tall and behaves like a son to you.

Since I learned from theatre and so on to look like that, is it a gift of effort about the atmosphere?

Or was he just inheriting a little talent from his mother, who was a stage actress?

What I asked of Hugo was the fulfilment of my wishes held at an early age.

Being a knight to protect women.

And defeating the tragedy that afflicts vulnerable women.

He who becomes the thorn of beautiful flowers… It is such figures that I seek and play to Hugo.

I become a knight myself because I have no knight to save a woman's tragedy.

Maybe that was a distorted wish in a way.

Still, I've been in < Infinite Dendrogram > for a month... for three months in < Infinite Dendrogram > time, I've imposed it on myself... and I've been playing it.

◆

At the time of this plan I had to relinquish for the first time the role I had imposed on Hugo.

The clan to which Hugo belongs and the prime minister of the Empire of Drife conspired to wake him up with this plan.

The plan is a massive one involving one city called Gideon, one that wreaks tragedy on an innocent people.

The plan also included the kidnapping of the princess.

If it had been... Hugo, who shaped my philosophy, would have quit the clan but not participated in this plan.

But I had two reasons to join the plan.

The first is because it would be far less damaging in the long run to implement this plan.

If we succumb to the kingdom by this plan, the war between the empire and the kingdom will end without further bloodshed.

Conversely, the war to wash blood with blood will resume next if it does not end with this plan.

Especially since half the Empire wants you there.

There are two empires... three factions to be exact.

It is a prime minister and marshal, and a royalist.

The Prime Minister's faction, led by Prime Minister Vigoma, who presides over internal affairs, had his head troubled by the decline in State power caused by spending in earlier wars.

Last time, he overwhelmed the Empire's finances and overwhelmed many of them as allies.

But it was an extremely great wound to the empire's finances.

Sometimes in the last battle I couldn't let the kingdom fall in the end, which was totally negative in terms of revenue and expenditure.

And I can't lower the hurdle on the reward I raised once.

Because if we lower it, we will buy the opposition of < Master > just like the kingdom did during the last war, and it is expected that there will be a significant reduction in the number of participants in the war.

That's the only time I can prepare the same reward. Even if you win that one time, there's a hole in the empire's finances.

Therefore, the Chancellors made this plan to settle before the war resumed.

He also cooperates with the plan rather centrally in order to avoid the financial collapse of the Empire, which is his sponsor.

Marshals led by Marshal Barbaros, who heads the military, have different views on it.

War does not end with the drop of one kingdom, and future wars against countries such as Legendary and Cardina can be well considered.

Then it is here that I appeal with the mightiness and military might of the Empire, and a generous reward for < Master >.

And it is the Marshal's idea that it is only to attract and expand the power of the Master for future wars, and to expand fears to other countries.

It is also a strategy like banditry or something, where the cost involved can be covered from the treasury of an attacked kingdom.

It is [Demon General] Logan Godhardt, the leader of the Demon Legion, who will be in tune with it.

He is the one who wants a battle that more attracts his power, preferring means over purpose and in tune with the Marshal.

These two ideas currently divide the Empire into two parts.

It should be noted that the imperial faction, led by the largest power in the empire as the third faction, does not (...) have any opinions on the political policy that determines the fate of Drife (...) also accelerates the superficialization and polarization of factional strife between the two factions.

I can't do that either. The royalists... because the current king of Dhrife has no regard for national interests or politics.

Because the king just decided to attack the kingdom for personal purposes.

A decision was taken as a result of negotiations between the two factions with different policies, both in the ravine and in the corner.

If the Kingdoms can be annexed by the plan carried out by the Prime Minister, that's it.

If the state of war continues due to the failure of the plan, the Marshals resume the invasion with full powers.

If it becomes a proposed Marshal invasion, no doubt the damage to both countries will be massive.

It's likely that even if the Empire wins, it won't end with just kicking the kingdom's army or < master >.

Rather, an excessive sacrifice could even occur in the kingdom as a “show off”.

That's why I had to make a choice.

Now tragedy or later great tragedy, which you choose.

Either way, the plan is executed without my participation.

Then it was only by joining me that I hoped to increase the success rate of the plan at all and end it in this one time.

That's the first reason I joined the plan.

The second reason is very personal.

If the first reason is because of Hugo's role, the second reason is my reason.

That's the guy who made the plan and is the executioner... In this Infinite Dendrogram, Mr. Because I strongly admire that man who names Franklin.

It was he who invited me to < Infinite Dendrogram >, and it was he who immediately welcomed me into his clan to help me with all sorts of things.

Above all, there was a reason before that.

I want to help that guy.

I still want to be with that guy.

That my own thoughts are half the reason I stand in this land with that man as the doer of the plan.

But that means nothing more than half a sense of duty and half an ego trying to cause this tragedy.

I myself was greatly troubled by the matter.

That's when that guy promised me he'd have it for this plan.

- PK and monsters only aim.

That's the same even if Plan A fails and it's going to activate the monster liberator positioned all over the city in Plan B.

The monster itself was originally created by him to only aim.

Even PK won't be after Tian to avoid nomination arrangements, that guy said.

Yes, that guy promised me that he would try to contain anything that threatened Tian's life in the plan.

If you try that guy, it doesn't matter what happened to Tian. Still took into account my mood and promised me.

So I believed it and decided to do everything in my power to accomplish the plan myself.

To avoid a great tragedy.

To be with that guy.

And for trust.

I'm - "Ice and Rose Pilot." Hugo Receps turned to the side of the tragedy.

◆

Plan execution date.

The battle between [Superfighter] Figaro and [Corpse Immortal] Xuan Yu in the Central Arena was settled and the plan was transferred to execution.

Throughout Gideon's city, PK hunts for the Master, and some of the freed monsters also attack the Master, destroying the city.

To deflect my consciousness from that hustle and bustle, I was meditating as I sat on the newly offered [Marshall II Modified] seat from that man before the execution of the plan.

About enough time after the activation of the plan, I heard a lot of horses running cobblestones in my ear.

"That's the Imperial < Maggie >!

"Your Highness, that's Franklin's gesture to stop the rescue!

I still have a distance from them, but I can figure out what I'm talking about in [Marshall II Modified] 's Equipment Skill, Collection Sound.

If you look over the monitor camera, that was what the [Holy Knights] of the Kingsguard Knights looked like.

Not all of them belong to the Kingsguard Knights. People in this world.

Hence not my opponent.

I moved [Marshall II Modified] 's arm and pointed to the sign I put up shortly after the start of the plan myself.

"'Ahead, it won't come through'... then we can go through, right?

It was a woman wearing pure white armor that was visible at the moment who read the sign and asked.

According to a prior dossier I received from that man, the woman's name was Liliana Grandria, who served as deputy head of the Kingsguard Knights.

And yesterday, when he ran into Gideon in a carriage carrying the children he rescued from the Gozmaids Bandits, he was also the one who explained the situation.

…………

[Marshall II revamped] to her inquiry and indicated by retreating sideways from the front of the gate.

"Okay. Then we'll go straight through the gate and intercept Franklin."

"Sir Grandria! Can I leave this MaginGear alone!

"If we fight here, we will be in the shape of a pinch between < Magingear > in front of us and Franklin in a terrain unfavourable to us. Besides, this is so fierce that Franklin alone orders Gideon's opponent. Fighting such opponents leaves no room to rescue Your Highness from Franklin, even if you win"

"... I understand"

After those interactions, the faces of the Kingsguard Knights creep through the West Gate in turn.

When passing beside [Marshall II Modified], there were a large number of things that alerted, nervous, or hateful gaze at the unintended.

I took it for granted.

That's what I'm doing, I understand... I'm here after I understand.

Eventually Liliana herself, who leads the Kingsguard Knights as his lord, passes through the West Gate.

She threw words at me as I passed beside [Marshall II Modified].

"You're the one who helped the kids out of the Gozmaids Bandits with Mr. Ray."

…………

I had not uttered a word, but she had noticed.

Signs, or what you did over there.

I didn't know why they noticed, but I didn't barely expose my surprise.

"That verse, thank you.... and this is my personal word, not as Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard Knights."

So I cut the words, and Liliana glanced at me with a jizzy [Marshall II modified] camera eye... over the monitor.

"Don't make Mr. Ray sad"

…………

I can't answer that... I just gave it back in one piece.

That's how the Kingsguard Knights went through the West Gate and began forming formations to intercept that man in the Jand Meadows.

I couldn't think or ignore what would happen to them fighting that guy, I just had to turn my back.

◆

It is weak enough to delay from the Kingsguard Knights.

Now a group of around twenty, supposedly the Master, came to the West Gate.

"< Magingear >... That means you're a bingo here!

"Oh, it looks like Franklin should get out through the West Gate after all!

Job, or < Embrio > skill to anticipate that guy's destination, and I guess he got ahead of it to ambush him.

The decision was right, and in five minutes that guy should be at the West Gate.

"That's Dreyfe's. But it's a little different than the guy who officially hired the Dreyfe army or spilled it into Cardina. Probably the keeper of the Triangle of Wisdom. It would be apart from the raging PK's all over the city."

"I see. Does this mean it's gonna help secure Franklin's exit?"

"It has a higher status than the general [Marshall II]. But still twice as strong as subdragons."

"Then we can do enough."

I detect that by Nursing and Appraisal Eye, I was able to see through the status of [Marshall II Modification] with correction by my "Piloting" skill.

But there is no problem.

Advantages of. The status and skill configuration of the pilot on the inside is not visible and is blocked from the outside world, thus disabling the majority of the state anomalies.

That was important.

While we're putting Cuco in the cockpit without wrapping it around, it means that no one has the art of exploring these bills.

"Even if you're going to use Embrio, there are twenty of us. You can't lose."

"Ha ha! I'm gonna ambush you at the exit and tear Franklin to death!

"'Ahead, it won't come through'... Huh, I'll let you through!

Almost everyone around the twenty passes a standing sign that is a “guide" and launches an attack against [Marshall II modified].

I waited for it.

"Cuco -" Hellgate ""

"Ouch."

Cuco merges with Suzuma [Marshall II modification].

And the immediate activation of the unique skill Hellgate.

A radius of 200 meters, this space falls within the range of the effect of the skill - they were instantly frozen.

"Hell's Gate, Don't Go Away"

Cuco said something that I'm not sure about, but it's not a death penalty.

I'm just unnecessarily [frozen].

No.

"Huh? Hey, wiped out, huh?

"... your skills!

There were two left.

"Was it less than 100?" But. "

There is no problem. After thirteen seconds, it becomes the next "judgment time”.

That's how, as I expected, one of the remaining ones tried to get out of the Hellgate range... and the lower body [froze] in a decision that occurred along the way.

But the other one isn't frozen yet.

"It's not that bad. Perhaps, Shinsuke '

"[Bishop] or something. Then... I have no choice."

I set up a firearm that I grasped on my left hand - [LRW03 Huge Grenader] and fired a series of shots at those two.

The impact hits and the blast licks the perimeter of the landing point.

When the smoke blast cleared, [the priest] was not there.

Meanwhile, the surrounding ice statue is crushed and returned to the dust of light.

Now I'm on a level, but I don't care.

Also, besides the ice statues I destroyed, some of them are dusty.

Perhaps self-harm - you ran a mandatory death penalty.

Being my experience, being wary of being robbed of items in a [frozen] state of serial Theft, etc.

Nothing, as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't willing to go ahead and break it or take the item away...... I don't care.

"Phew..."

It also makes me want to take one of my sighs.

It was a one-sided ravage if you end it.

If they were also super speed specialists, they could have been crushed before activation, but the result is this.

Ten or eighty-nine, I knew this would happen.

I understand that this is why he placed me here.

Because I'm the natural enemy for this city-based master.

Because…….

"That's pretty powerful cold air. - But I don't get it."

When I was lost in thought, there was someone beyond the standing sign.

It's a silhouette that has caught fire all over its body, unclear at first glance whether it's a person or not.

Just that upside-down red hair and ability looked familiar in the material he was giving me.

He is the seventh duel ranking in this Alter kingdom. His name is…….

"Perhaps a kind of Embrio that increases its power by completing complex conditions. But my sult is the most powerful flame attribute in the kingdom! No matter what kind of cold air it is, it never freezes."

What was his name...... what was it?

"My name is Bishmal,“ Flaming Rage "! Me and the sult flames, if you can freeze them, freeze them!

Oh, that was the name.

The man named Bishmal storms the flames that materialized from his whole body, like a volcanic eruption.

At a glance. That's incredibly powerful.

With that flame, I can burn and melt ice armor in one blow, [Marshall II modified], and me inside.

But in the first place......

"- You can't get through."

The man wrapped around the Kingdom's strongest flame - was [frozen] by Hellgate while wrapped around the flame.

With his face unquestioned for his own victory, he is frozen.

"I'm sorry, but their calories have nothing to do with the Hellgate (...)"

So pointless to haunt the flames.

“If it's over 100"... there's no way to escape the Hell Gate to the best of my knowledge.

"Gideon's < master > is strong. He's a lot stronger than me, he's got a lot of experience in interpersonal fights, and he must be a veteran. '

Many of the < masters > who are ice statues here will be.

So......

'That's why (...)... you guys can't beat me. Never.'

◆

That guy came as soon as he swept it off.

And I told him it was in me.

"Ray Sterling can be bare, too."

If you ask, they're to bury Ray with their own hands.

I thought I was going to fight Ray.

Ray is told in advance that "the West is our destiny".

If he remembers the clan I belong to, think he'll figure something out when the plan begins.

The reason I told him is because of the stray in me.

We acted together all day yesterday and knew it.

He must be someone close to me...... someone who can't overlook the tragedy.

And just like me, I feel the lives of people in this world just like the lives of the planet.

This time I turned to the side where I chose to make my own tragedy.

I'm sure he'll try to stop it.

That's why I told him.

While taking on one end of the tragedy, I also help stop the tragedy because I feel guilty.

The thought of stopping the tragedy in me left him lost.

And using him as my lost proxy, I fought here to define “which one will be".

I can tell for myself.

That just replaced him with a coin toss.

Distorted. It's too selfish and ugly.

Still, I had to make that choice.

The guy left the West Gate after the conversation and headed outside.

Soon, a battle will begin with the Kingsguard Knights.

I was now turning away from the consequences that would happen.

◆

Then soon - he showed up before me.

To be continued
