D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

Huh, good morning.

On that day, when I went down to the office yawning a little later, Miyoshi presented a small package in the kitchen.

"What?

Well, it's a sign.

"Your mark? I have heard that the mark of the Crown Prince is" Shinji. "

"Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with me."

When I arrived at the dining table and checked the contents, there was...

"Tyrol chocolate?

"Yes, and it's an exclusive Kyushu product."

Heh.

Nevertheless, today's regionally limited products can be bought online.

"So, what is this?

"Senpai, I don't think it's because I've spent years of my life forever since I graduated from school. Today is the 14th."

"Oh, it's the birthday of the Van Allen Zone."

"Senpai, the story is old."

"I want you to say it's universal. But why Kyushu limited edition?

"Tyrol chocolate tastes like milk nuggets, right? It was only Kyushu's limited edition."

"You were a fundamentalist."

It seems that tyrol chocolate began with three serials of milk nuggets. It could be said that it was a sweet genre at the time. Is it still there?

Anyway, when I realized something, I felt like I had already sold a lot of flavors, but if you ask me, I might have liked the milk nugget flavor the most.

I took out one of them and unwrapped it and put it in my mouth.

"It's good, but if there's a tooth stuffing, I think I'll be able to take it off."

It's twin with Haichu in terms of the natural enemy of stuffing.

When I was enjoying the slightly nostalgic flavour of milk nugget-flavoured tyrol chocolate, my phone rang.

"Yes, Sayama-san."

Apparently, the opponent is Mr. Sayama of the Agricultural Research Organization. Did you forget something?

I switched on the TV from the dining room to the sofa where the glass was lying on my face so I wouldn't get in the way of the phone.

After I had already had breakfast, the glass flattened with the sound of a dote effect.

In the screen, Wideshow explained the incident that happened yesterday with a huge gesture.

The board at the back says, "The Mystery of the Disappeared Crystal! What a horrible letter with a pop.

"Disappeared magic crystal?

I wonder what you're talking about, but I turned it off a little bit.

That's why they disappeared.

Er, didn't someone steal it?

Well, there's someone in the lab for 24 hours, and the number of disappearances isn't that big enough to take.

Are you a modern thief? You got a notice or something?

An old man with a mustache made a stupid joke, and the host man replied with a bitter smile.

'That doesn't seem to be true. So yesterday was a big fuss. "

Apparently, a lot of magic crystals disappeared from the NIMS (Materials and Materials Research Organization).

And it was concluded that what was being used in the experiment was also reduced to light and disappeared from the researchers' eyes, and apparently it seemed like a natural collapse rather than theft.

The world seemed to have accepted the phenomenon just because it was experiencing the disappearance of the orb, but since it suddenly disappeared out of order rather than in time like the orb, it seems that the cause is completely unknown.

I searched my tablet immediately.

These kinds of news are much more detailed and quicker than vulgar bulletin boards. However, I was just asking you to understand the authenticity.

"Oh, there it is."

According to it, similar incidents appeared to have occurred in the vicinity of NIMS.

The content resembled or approached what happened at NIMS and was already flourishing in the internet as a new legend of synchronicity.

"Hah?!

At that time, from the dining room, I heard a crazy voice and raised my face.

"Ah, hah... I see. Bye."

I waited for Miyoshi to hang up and asked.

"What's up, Miyoshi? Something wrong?

"No, I don't know what to say, it's a little hard to believe."

"Oh, my God, I'm so badly cut."

"Senpai, do you think lipops occur outside the dungeon?

"... yes?

All of a sudden, when I was told something that looked like a joke on my face, I was embarrassed.

Dungeons should only be managed within a few metres of the entrance to the dungeon.

I think that experience reset is proof of that. And, uh...

"If that had happened, wouldn't monsters be wandering around the world by now?

Meecha and Simon said that if they were military, they would be doing enough to catch the monsters alive and bring them out.

If they die, they'll be lipping somewhere in the same space.

"You used to say, 'I'd be scared if Goblins were walking in those alleys.' That would not be the case."

If the slime starts to lip out of the dungeon, no one will know when or where a major accident will occur, and there will be no way to prevent it.

What if the slime pops into an important part of the nuclear power plant and destroys it?

It will be a nightmare that comes with no sudden reason, like a SimCity disaster.

"The danger of monsters overflowing from the dungeon has been pointed out, but it probably never happened."

"Isn't it?"

But he said he ripped it off.

"What happened? What happened?

Orange trees, let's do it.

According to Miyoshi, the orange tree that touched him yesterday became a big tree yesterday morning, and as it was coming out of the greenhouse, it was cut off, and the branch fell off.

So, let the flowers bloom all at once...

"They found fruit."

Hatha or Grandpa?

I stumbled into it.

"Maybe they're afraid of a hybrid outbreak due to the spread of pollen."

"Citrus blossoms are completely different seasons, so even if the pollen is flying right now, isn't it okay?

"That's what Sayama-san said. So, after the fruit, she gave up a little and settled down....."

"Well, that's what Factor D does."

Whatever happens at any time, as long as the wheat grows in a meaningless way.

"So they want us to look at the scene."

"Wait a minute. Why are we going out there? There's nothing you can do when you go first."

Well, that's true. Senpai, are you not interested?

"Well, it would be a lie if we didn't... but there's something we should report before we do."

After all, they reported it to JDA and the Dungeons Agency...

I had a bad feeling.

"You can't handle it because it's not in the dungeon?

"That's what they both said."

Sure, DA doesn't stick his neck in trouble with the traded item. The same goes for the ministries.

Unless you're talking about injuries, murders, or the destruction of the world, when you talk about it, it's more normal to be thrown through with "yes." Finally, there is no realism.

I can't help it.

Saito-san will come after 19: 00.

When I glanced at the clock, Miyoshi told me to contact Mr. Sayama and called Mr. Naruse.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

From Shinjuku to Akihabara, take Tsukuba Express and you can reach Tsukuba in an hour and a half.

Before fifteen o'clock, when we got out of the ticket, we turned to the right and headed for exit A3, which was a short distance away.

If we don't get out of there, there's no taxi stand.

Next to Starbucks under the station, there was a shop selling mysterious vegetables, and I smiled a little.

As soon as I got in the cab, I went to the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Department.

It was nice to get off the taxi in a place like the main gate, but there was a big sign that said "vegetable flower research department".

"Sayama-san is the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Department, right?

"Ah, senpai, that"

At the point pointed out by Miyoshi, a sign for the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Department was installed to hide in the implant.

Why is there an implant just in front of the sign, even though the size of the sign is almost the same? Mystery.

There seems to be no mistake here anyway.

"Hey, Miyoshi."

"What is it?

"What flowers?

"Right! I thought it was a flower vessel."

"Indeed, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will not study vessels."

"Even though it's a vegetable flower, I don't really know what business it is. A sense of unity....."

Waiting for guidance while talking like that, Mr. Sayama came from across the gate and waved.

"Ah, Miyoshi-san!

"Hello."

"No, thank you for coming. What can we do now?"

"That doesn't mean we can help."

Mr. Sayama stopped and looked back at us like that.

"Now, the most important thing I want to know is the cause."

Even if we can manage the tree this time, the same thing could happen if we don't know the cause.

Even if there was no other way this time, it meant that measures were necessary.

"So, I mean...."

He glanced at Miyoshi, making himself very sorry.

Apparently, I'm expecting her skills. Of course, Naruse and the others stabbed her in the neck. It seemed very difficult to say.

Miyoshi smiled slightly and just said, "Can you show me anyway?"

As soon as Mr. Sayama nodded loudly, he resumed his guidance.

Along the way, I asked Mr. Sayama about "flowers" and he wrote "flowers" as a concept that included all the plants for viewing.

"If you write flowers, they won't come, for example, they won't contain ornamental plants."

Bonsai plants are also included in flower flowers.

With that conversation, we headed to the greenhouse where the orange tree broke through.

The university is the same, but the research facility is very large anyway.

As I walked around the back for a while, I saw a tree sticking out of the building. The tree was full of fruit.

"Well, it's February. It's not strange even if it's grown in a tree."

"Wenzhou, Tsukuba, is a long time ago."

October to December were the seasons.

"But...."

Nice tree, huh?

The greenhouse glass had been removed and now seemed to grow smiling from inside the building.

The orange tree was quite large.

"So, when you cut this branch, do you lip it?"

"Ah! Be careful."

When I touched the branch, he said so in a hurry.

"Careful?

Just twisting his neck, and when I asked him back, he explained to me what he saw yesterday.

According to it, when the cut branch stretches out as a branch of light, when there is an object in materialization, the object is cut off.

"Cut off?

"Yes. At first, the greenhouse glass was clean and broken into branches. The next victim was my towel."

If there is an intrusive object, the lipop shouldn't happen in the first place....

"I'm glad it didn't happen somehow..."

Sayama nodded loudly and hammered, "Absolutely."

"What do you mean, cut it down or pull it out?

"I was thinking, if the same thing happened to the branch, it would be dangerous...."

The ripped branch was different from the original one.

As a result of pulling out, I was convinced that if the tree was as big as the original shape, I could not imagine where to cut it off.

Miyoshi, did you get an appraisal?

(I did. But this....)

Miyoshi told me so confused.

(What's wrong?)

(We'll talk more later)

Copy that.

"But if you can't cut it down, what are you gonna do about it? I heard about JDA and the Dungeons Agency passing through."

"In the meantime, it's not a hybrid season right now, so I'm going to open up the room and surround the trees."

"I see, but this is a fine tourist resource."

Yeah?

"No, it's a branch that comes back before your eyes even if you cut it. If you suck, you're not a believer?

When I said so, he had his eyes round.

If you only look at phenomena, you deserve the name miracle, to put it mildly.

"It's a sacred tree from a branch brought back from a sacred tree in a sacred lake. Sayama-san is like Rex Nemorensis (* 1)."

"Hmm?!

When Miyoshi laughed and said so, Mr. Sayama was in a hurry with a tight face.

According to legend, there are only two conditions for becoming king of the forest. One is to bring a golden branch, and the other is to kill the current king of the forest.

But now that the position was vacant, he might have been qualified to bring the golden branch to the world.

"Orange must be a symbol of gold, a symbol of fertility and abundance, or a branch of a golden tree."

When Miyoshi murmured about such a thing while looking at the golden fruit that was fruitful, Miyoshi asked again.

"Even though I was thrown through by the Dungeon Agency, it's a completely new species... not so much an unknown creature. Don't I have to report to the administration?

"Where are you going to report this to the administration?

"Is it the Ministry of the Environment?

That's what Miyoshi said with his neck bent.

"I don't know what to do with it, but I can only guarantee that there are no trees in the list of specific alien organisms, etc."

I'm not ashamed of my office work. After all, there is a precedent in Shibuya Ward where Hellhound was accepted as a dog.

I didn't think the Ministry of the Environment would move because there was only one tree.

"Yeah? What about quarantine?

"From that point of view, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has jurisdiction rather than the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The plant protection station should be performing domestic quarantine....."

That's what Sayama said when he heard Miyoshi's epidemic prevention statement.

I don't think it's an important pest.

That's right.

"Doesn't the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries have a department that handles alien plants?

Far from being foreign, it's a plant from an unknown world.

In some cases, it could be called invasion.

"I have one for now, but...."

Oh, my God, it looks like the Rural Development Bureau.

"Rural Development Bureau?

"Yes, this is the Rural Environmental Control Office in the Department of Rural Policy, Department of Animal Control and Rural Environment."

"I mean, do you have classes or rooms like that?"

Sayama-san told me this with a bitter smile about the name and told me that there are many things that can happen and disappear around here.

At the same time, it seems that in March 2008, guidelines for measures against alien organisms were formulated by the Rural Environmental Conservation Office of the Resource Division of the Planning Department of the Rural Development Bureau at that time.

It's like a brochure for the field, so if you find it, let's get rid of it, it's a good substitute.

Today, it seems that it has been handed over to the biodiversity conservation team of the Rural Environmental Control Office.

"Even so, 'It's hard to control all exotic plants, so if there's no damage, go through' is the basics."

It seems to be hit by Ooi no Fugli and Shirotsumeksa.

There is certainly no harm to be felt where a significant number of them have flourished.

So this is an administrative body that can handle it?

"Not at this stage."

In other words, assuming that the Dungeon Agency is from a dungeon, there is no ministry to discuss how to deal with it.

However, even if you bring it to JDA, it is not difficult to imagine that there is no department to deal with things outside the dungeon, even if it is passed through.

"Japan needs a department that can respond to unforeseen events."

With a serious face, I stuck myself in my elbows.

"What, are you talking about a passionate student before you became a politician?"

"It's the first time you realize you can't do anything."

"No dreams, no hope."

Regardless, it would not be possible to suddenly create such an organization in the national government, even if it were a local administration.

"My next-generation research lab is going to be ecstatic if I find out about this."

Sayama-san said so.

The Next-Generation Crop Development Research Center develops productivity improvement technologies and high value-added technologies for each department.

Of course, it seems that the development of productivity improvement technologies and high-value-added technologies in citrus is one of the pillars of this research.

While talking like that, Sayama's phone rang.

Seeing the indication, he lowered his head with regret.

"I'm going because my boss asked me to. You can take a look around here at your own accord!

"Oh, don't worry."

I didn't know what to do, but I waved.

I watched him disappear and nobody was around, and I asked Miyoshi.

"So, what?

"This is not a lipop."

Wait for my line and Miyoshi cut it out.

I guess so.

"That's right, Senpai, where did you find out?

"Well, I told you that the newly formed branch is too different from the previous one...."

When I looked up at the tree, I said, comparing it to the tree with the branch cut off.

"And lipops don't cut objects out of real space."

Speaking of hypotheses, I somehow thought so because no such thing had been discovered in three years.

If that had happened, the shelves in Yokohama would be full of holes by now.

"Besides, if this is a lip, it wouldn't be strange for Miyoshi to bring a wheat ho, even if you remove the wheat grains."

Of course that won't happen.

"Again, lipops are part of the dungeon system."

"Probably. I'd be too scared to be part of a dungeon system in a place like this."

"Is it a probable nightmare?"

Sort of.

I said that in the morning, recalling what I was talking about.

If a monster is built into a part of a dungeon system outside of a dungeon, it's the same thing that the entire Earth becomes a dungeon.

Killed monsters appear randomly.

Depending on what's in there, there's no chance that humans will perish, whether it's an important part of a nuclear power plant or a critical part of ICBM control. That's the kind of nightmare that comes with probability.

"Anyway, it's more like a playback than a lipop."

"I think so."

That said, Miyoshi presented a note that summarized the appraisal results.

--------

Aureus Arbor Aureus arbor

A descendant of a branch bearing the shining golden fruit of a goddess who was stolen from the garden of the daughters of dusk and thrown into the wedding feast of the goddess of the sea and taken away by a giant.

As long as there is light, reason circumscribes the circle and does not come true.

--------

"I don't know what this guy is saying again....."

"As always, Danzk is full of playfulness."

"So, this is a dungeon item in a Miyoshi appraisal?

"I don't think so. I don't seem to know the name even if I touch it."

I see. Touch the item and you'll know its name. But...

"Like the high refractive index liquid in the example, it could be part of the item."

Well, originally speaking, it's an orange tree branch in the dungeon. If you say so, maybe you can say so. "

Either way, does it mean that Sanyoshi's appraisal is growing? I'm a little curious about what the world looks like in his eyes, but now it's about this tree.

Aureus Arbor is Latin. A golden tree, to put it bluntly.

The daughters of dusk will be referring to Hesperides. That's the golden apple Hercules stole.

The second is what Ellis threw in, and the last one must be the first part of Nibelung's ring, the second part of the evening, rather than the Nordic myth.

At that time, apples were a noun for fruits in general, and golden apples were said to be oranges.

"You mean, dungeon or ambrosia?

"Well, I'm a descendant, so let's see what happens."

"At best, to the extent that it will be the variety I imagined?

I can produce the variety as I imagined.

I don't know whether to say that at best, but the original effect of the story is immortality. Destruction will not come true, and the scales will look up to you. Compared to that, at best, it would not be a mistake.

"It makes sense to go around the circle..."

"Doesn't that mean repeating a year of plants?"

Growing, flowering and fruiting. So you're reproducing the routine.

"I knew it was glowing..."

"I'm sure it's not the sun's light."

We were reminded of the disappearance of mysterious magic crystals that occurred simultaneously in and around NIMS (Institute for Materials and Materials Research).

Magic Crystal is a mass of high-concentration Factor D, which is where Magic Crystal research institutes are concentrated. NIMS is right there.

Outside the dungeon, D Factor will need a lot of it to make a miracle.

"- So this is an event that happened because of Tsukuba?

Miyoshi looked up at the tree and said so.

"Maybe."

Few were brought out of the dungeon. Most of them are irrelevant because they are items, but even if they have branches or grass, it's not strange.

Every time something like this happens, it'll be a long time ago.

"Well, I think Senpai was with me at the time of the sampling."

"Hmm?! Does this mean it's the effect of makings? No, don't overthink it...."

I hope so.

Miyoshi says it's disturbing, but there shouldn't be too many places where there's a high concentration of Factor D on the ground.

Therefore, even if a shrub is made elsewhere, it is unlikely that a phenomenon that realizes the wishes of the human being who touched it will occur.

Without fuel, the car won't move.

"Anyway, the relationship is obvious when comparing the time when the branches and trunks were regenerated here with the time when the magic crystals were reduced to light at once around NIMS."

It was just a hypothesis from the situation, but I didn't think it was relevant.

"Later, how far will this impact spread?"

"Spread?"

"After all, Sayama and the others worked hard to keep the pollen from spreading?

"That would be to prevent this species from mating with other citrus fruits."

"That's right. I mean, I told him about the possibility of mating. And with a strong image."

Miyoshi, who understood the meaning, seemed impatient enough to see the sweat dripping from her forehead.

"But it's not the time to bloom at all.

"If that's the only salvation, it's salvation....."

"What is it?

"I wonder if D-Factor would give me any thought?

Miyoshi looked up at the stubbornly fruitful tree with her arms tied together with a difficult face.

The cold wind swayed it slightly, and the long shadow created by the sun at a much lower position danced to suit it.

Besides...

I said with an open hand to the tree that seemed to have become a tree overnight.

"-There are too many magic crystals in Tsukuba."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Around Mt. Tsukuba, about ten kilometers north of the Agricultural Research Organization, there are a number of minkan gardens.

In Ibaraki, especially around Tsukuba City, the northern limit for the cultivation of mince has long been flourishing on the western side of Mt. Tsukuba.

Mount Tsukuba's elevation was 150 m, and the field was in the slope temperate zone.

As usual, a man driving on a hillside road noticed something orange sticking to his field tree.

"What?

There are many of them, even if they are someone's pranks.

The man hurried the car toward the field, but as it approached, he rubbed his eyes frequently as if his eyes had gone crazy.

"What is this...?

Mikan around here is dominated by the shrubbery Wenzhou Mikan and a slightly taller, local variety Fukuriku Mikan, with the seasons roughly from October to December.

Some farms are planted with nearly 20 varieties, but it's February now. In any case, the season was long over.

"Then what is this!?

The man was screaming as he looked at the Wenzhou mink in a rational (...) imaginary (...) shape (...) that was stuck in his field tree.
