D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

§ 168 Golden Branch 2/20 (wed)

Yesterday, while feeling the calm sun, Saiga went out to the JDA lobby early and looked around, and found the desired person on the sofa in the corner of the room and walked in.

"Hi, I'm sorry, I've come this far."

"No, it's at the end of my eyes and nose."

When Terazawa said that, he asked Saiga as if he remembered it.

Speaking of which, what about the message to Miyoshi-san?

When Terasawa asked, Saiga was sure that the D Powers had not contacted him. It's about those guys, you know.

"Soon after that, the full-time administrator gave me my contact information and magic spells. I don't know what happened after that."

"Thank you."

It's no bother if someone asks, and as it is, they're in the corner of the lobby.

Terazawa took out the envelope of Square No. 2 and gave it to Saiga.

"Quickly, the tree in question has spilled out of the country."

"Abroad?"

Terazawa nodded.

"They left Niigata Higashi Port yesterday."

That's quick again.

Absolutely.

"If you're a plant, do you have checks for export country regulations?

"The import is tough, but the export is very sweet....."

"So the destination is Russia or China, or else South Korea or Taiwan?"

"No, if he hadn't lied, the final destination would have been France."

"France? From Niigata Higashi Port?

Freight ships leaving Niigata East Port are directly Russian or Chinese, and then South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It will be rare to use this place to carry luggage to France.

"Then why don't you just use the JAL cargo to carry it?

"You wanted to leave Japan as soon as possible, or else..."

"Are airplanes strictly regulated?

In Saiga's line, Terazawa showed his hand that it might be.

"They're more accommodating."

Well, that's accommodating.

"Well, if you fly from Vladivostok to Sheremetievo in Aeroflot, there's only one left for Charles-Dogall. That said, the problem is that we're dealing with more people than we're dealing with Route."

"Do you know who the recipient is?

"Somehow, it was well documented."

So?

"Do you know Artum Foraminis?

"What's that? A trading company or something?

"No, the official name is Artum Foramis Sakri Esse. If I may say so, the cult is a religious group."

"Cult?"

Terazawa knew more about the group because he looked into the group that was flickering behind the associates of the director of the Human Resources Education Bureau who had asked Shinozaki.

I was surprised when the same name came up here.

"Hi, you seem to be a popular group among the celebrities. Looks like it's eating pretty much everywhere. I wrote down what I knew in that report."

"No, thank you, but...."

Saiga has nothing to do with religion.

I didn't think I was going to get involved with the cult here, but I was just watching.

"And the ghost man at your place..."

"Top Explorer Ranking?

"That's it. They seem to be very interested and obsessed with it."

Saiga recalled that a strange inquiry about The Phantom had previously come from the Defense Agency.

The fact that the source organization is the same means that there is something around here.

"Obsessed? Why? How did you know that in the first place? Any connection to the Self-Defense Forces Ethics Board?

Terazawa did not answer and stood up.

"Anyway, that's what I owe you for understanding different languages."

"How much advice do you have for 5-chome?" (* 1)

Don't get on your nerves.

Terasawa laughed just around his mouth and left the JDA.

Saiga dropped it off with a bitter smile, causing her eyes to run over the materials she had received.

"Maybe we should have built a WDA bulk buying system."

After reading through and sighing, he muttered, "Is this also an inevitable evil of liberalism?" and returned to the Dungeon Management Division.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

At that time, Mr. Sayama of the Institute of Agricultural Research visited the office of D Powers.

"So, what happened today?

"No, I was hoping you could give me some advice."

"Advice?"

Yes, I can go through JDA formally, but it's a little urgent.

If you're talking about mikan, isn't the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Dungeons Agency already working?

"Of course. It's just..."

I was shocked to hear what he said.

The Dungeon Authority's request is a ban on harvesting. It seems to have been protected, but the moment the news came out, an inquiry was made to give up branches from Mikan farmers all over Japan.

And when the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Dungeons Agency realized that, a considerable number of branches had already been distributed.

I know the destination of the shipment, but the recipient of the shipment is often unclear, and the correspondence after that is not pleasant.

"The root tree is a direct contact with the branches of the dungeon, but it grew into a big tree in just one night. Is it possible that this will happen when the branch of the Wenzhou mink in question is grafted?

I can't help but say that I don't know when you ask me that.

"I don't know, but if I needed a Magic Crystal and a Dungeon Catalyst to do a miracle, I don't think that would happen...."

When I said that without confidence, Miyoshi interrupted with a serious face.

"Senpai, when the phylloxera disaster struck Europe in 1863, Vitis vinifera was eventually planted on the roots of North American grapes to protect European varieties."

"What is it, all of a sudden?"

No one involved in wine knows anything about the most famous incidents in the world, but on the contrary, they don't know anything about it.

"In other words, as long as there is a connection, the tip of the tangle retains almost the nature of the tangled variety."

"Hey, no way..."

"The connected branches may remain enchanted."

Is it the space or the object that is enchanted? If it were the subject, there would be plenty of potential.

Of course, I don't think you can get another Orange from the Agricultural Research Institute, but if you only have Magic Crystal, it could become an infinitely harvestable branch.

"I knew it...."

Sayama dropped his shoulders and murmured.

"Of course, if there's not enough magic crystals around, I don't think that's going to happen... maybe already somewhere?

Sayama nodded unfortunately.

I see. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all of a sudden for advice.

"The magic crystal of the Global Environmental Industry and Technology Research Organization disappeared in the Kizu River in Kyoto."

Kehanna Gakken City

Keihanna Gakken City - The official name is Kansai Cultural and Academic Research City. It was a place where the letter of culture was added as a result of the city plan that began with the suggestion of the president of Kyoto University when Bubble Hua and Shirakashi were laid out to be unbiased by the science and engineering system.

Compared to Tsukuba, it feels somewhat halfway there, but there are many R&D facilities on the side of the Global Environmental Industry Technology Research Organization, including Omron's Innovation Center and NTT Communication's Science Foundation Institute.

To the north, the company is located, while to the west, there is Nara Graduate School of Science and Technology University. The amount of magic crystals will be considerable.

"Kyoto and Nara produce almost zero minkan, but Osaka is quite good, and there's a tourist farm there."

The cause is probably the same as Tsukuba.

However, I don't think the Golden Tree affects that much. Almost certainly, it must have been caused by someone touching the branch with a brave leg.

Results come out too fast, but that must be the effect of Factor D. After all, the golden tree met in one day.

"Wouldn't it be better to make a recommendation to stop the stumpage because it will disappear?

"Yes, but the causal relationship has not yet been established, so it's hard...."

Hmm, there's no legal basis to prohibit it without scientific support.

"What? But you banned it in Tsukuba."

"That's a favor. Besides, half of them are like threats."

"In the end, all you have to do is identify where the same thing is happening and ask for it individually?

So far, so good.

"Besides, if I make such a recommendation, the scattered branches themselves will be traded at a high price and they won't be able to go anywhere....."

If the owner is unclear, could it be enough?

"It's still unclear, so if this happens, we'll have to ask the Dungeons Agency to make a cautionary recommendation to the researchers. If it disappears, we'll just have to walk around looking for it."

That's right.

"But senpai. It might be surprisingly easy to find."

"How?

"I think it's a hobbyist or a tourist farm that wants to touch that branch."

"A tourist farm?

"Minkan farmers shipping to the so-called market will not harvest much where the branches are cut. It's like a small-scale, multi-breed farmer. What's possible?"

After hearing that, Mr. Sayama raised his eyebrows twitchingly.

"In contrast, for a tourist farm, it's a god's item of a balance breaker, even with one branch."

If you say so, yes.

Whether you pick it or pick it, the branch grows again at a speed like fast forward. That would be a tourist resource.

"Well, I think that this kind of place is going to be a topic in the modern era where anyone can disseminate information, so if we properly monitor SNS, etc., we can identify the location and regulate it before it becomes important."

"It's not that simple...."

Sayama said that with a trembling voice.

"And if the Agricultural Research Organization crushed a Japanese citrus farmer....."

"Don't be so exaggerated."

"I'm not exaggerating!

Mr. Sayama squeezed his fist and persuaded him.

"Look, Miyoshi-san said it's not going to be a big harvest, but in fact, about 600 to 700 pieces of fruit are produced in a single oyster tree. If you took care of it with the most consideration, it would be 500 pieces."

Ha.

"And the average size of one is about 100 grams."

"I mean, can you get about 50 kilometers of fruit per bottle?

It's an ideal fruit-producing system, but it could actually get heavier.

"That's right. And if one tree nut could be harvested again in ten minutes..."

That said, I understood what he wanted to say.

"300 kilometers in an hour, 7.2 tons in 24 hours, a year..."

"That's 2628 tons. If you can mechanize it and harvest it in a minute, it would be 26280 tons."

Miyoshi calmly calculated and said.

"How much is that?

"2,600,000 tons is lighter than production in Hiroshima Prefecture and is within the tenth order of magnitude nationwide."

That's what Sayama-san told me.

"From a single tree?

"From a single tree. In the first place, last year's Japanese mince production totalled about 770,000 tons."

"That means..."

"Twenty-nine trees would almost cover it."

I noticed a lot there.

"... hey, maybe the branch will be more terrifying?

Huh?

"Think about it, if you had ten fruits in the tangled branch, the harvest would not be as noisy as a single tree."

"If you always have fruit in the same place, you can easily automate the harvest. If you're going to harvest in one second and come back to life in one second... 300 pieces in one minute."

I mean...

"Two branches, more than one tree."

One kilo in two seconds, 1,800 kilos in an hour. That's 43.2 tons a day. It's 15768 tons a year.

"If we had 49 branches, we could totally cover Japanese mince production."

Miyoshi calmly calculated again.

"Oh, my God!

"No, that's why I'm in trouble."

Shipments of this fruit are now prohibited on the grounds that food safety cannot be verified, but there is no way to prohibit it if the WFA's DFA (Food Administration) publishes the results that it is safe.

If nothing is done, the market will be in great turmoil.

"Senpai, I have another problem."

"Whether magic flies, or not?

Miyoshi nodded.

"If you have the same abilities as the Golden Tree, no one can stop you anymore."

"Can't we regulate the Magic Crystal?

"Instead, we should clarify the causal link and make it eligible for damages."

I called a map of Japan on my tablet.

When it comes to the origin of mikan, is it Wakayama, Ehime, Kumamoto, Shizuoka?

"Around Kitakyushu and Shizuoka. Then Ehime Hiroshima Line."

"There is no place in Wakayama or Ehime where research institutes like Magic Crystals are gathered."

"Kitakyushu has a Kitakyushu academic research city....."

"It's mostly biased against the information system, so I think it's a little better... because there are a lot of convulsion facilities."

I wonder if the concentration of the research facility is going to make you look bad.

"Grinding?"

"Polishing Science Park is a city. There are SPRING 8 and SACLA (* 2), and since the dungeon, there have been many energy-related research facilities."

In the mountains of Hyogo.

"Mikan fields around here are mostly on the Seto Inland Sea, right? There's an image of Spring 8 in a great mountain."

"Besides, Hyogo, alongside Chiba, produces the lowest levels of minced rice in the country."

I thought all the prefectures facing Setouchi made mince, but almost no mince is made in Hyogo. They say it's almost zero as far as Okayama.

It's probably okay because it's in the mountains and the tourist farm doesn't seem to be around. Prejudice is unacceptable.

"Shizuoka's research facilities are mostly in the environment and agriculture, forestry and fisheries. There's also an Industrial Technology Laboratory, but on a smaller scale."

"Well, just one tree can cause problems, so you should pay special attention to Kitakyushu and Keihanna."

Mr. Sayama nodded.

"But this is like an invasion of the Earth's species by a dungeon."

Obviously, he had helped himself to it, and he looked like he had bitten a bitter bug.

"The problem is, if there's no negative impact on the human body, there's nothing negative for humanity."

Rather, if we were talking about productivity, it would be a splinter plus.

It is difficult for existing farmers to see whether it is a gospel or a nightmare.

"We usually eliminate alien species to protect existing species -"

I understand very well what I'm trying to say.

After all, the dungeon is involved, and the target is Mikan Wenzhou. It is likely that any examination will be called Wenzhou Minkan. Like an example.

It's just superb.

"Can an act of aggression with no negative elements be eliminated as aggression?

Sayama said that with a difficult face.

"In the first place, it's not even an invasion," he laughed with a crying face.
