Infinite Dendrogram: Volume 3

by Sakon Kaidou

  Bear: “By the way, the author noticed Xunyu’s similarity to Dhalsim a long while after introducing her.”

  Cat: “Anyway, it’s time for the familiar serious comment from the author.”

  Dearest readers, thank you for your purchase. I am the author, Sakon Kaidou.

  My work has reached volume 3 and — thanks to your support — will go beyond that, allowing me to continue my writing without any worries. You have my sincere gratitude for that.

  Anyway, this volume has two significant points the previous two didn’t have.

  First is the fact that there are stories which have people other than the protagonist — Ray Starling — as their main characters. I hope you enjoyed the stories you couldn’t see with just a single perspective and that they gave you a broader look at my work’s world.

  The second point is that the current central plot didn’t end with this volume. The Figaro vs Xunyu fight and the two side stories are concluded in this volume, but a certain incident is continuing from this one into the fourth. Though, some might be inclined to say that the hand of fate has been leading to this ever since volume 1.

  Infinite Dendrogram part 1’s greatest event will continue in volume 4, so please look forward to it.

  Cat: “All right, it’s time for us to end the afterwoorrd!”

  Bear: “Ray’s been a bit dormant in this volume, but that sure won’t be the case in the next one.”

  Xun: “...Huh? Wait, I know I mAde fun of Cheshire abOut this, but whAt will I be doiNg in the next voLume?”

  Bear: “Looking at how you ended up in this volume... I really have no clue.”

  Cat: “You just keep sleeping in the barrier! I won’t give you my turns!”

  Bear: “Well, my place is beary much secure (perfect attendance in the original webnovel).”

  Cat: “Anyway, the story from this volume continues in vol—”

  Xun: “Volume 4, which is sEt to come out in a cOupLE monTHs! Look forWard to it!”

  Cat: “She stole it again!”
