D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared
§ 216 No, I can't, I can't, I can't! 3/28 (thu)
"No, I can't, I can't, I can't!"
Everyone knows that it's pointless and inefficient to stay up all night, but there is a reality that sometimes you have to do something about it before it's due.
Only four days have passed since that commotion, and only three days have passed since the appearance of the D-card, but the pressure in various countries is considerable, and it seems that it is only increasing day by day.
Naturally, inquiries to the relevant departments and the creation of countermeasures were piled up every day.
“And what is this? Why is something like this going around?"
There was a request to submit basic materials for enacting the status protection law.
The range of influence is too wide, and I was wondering where to put my hand. It must have been thrown here, which seems to be the most detailed.
On the 24th, we made preparations for first contact all night long, and on the 25th, we were chased by reports to various places in that fuss. When I finally thought that I could rest, I was ordered to make enquiries from various places and report on the facts from above in the D-card incident that occurred on the 26th, and I summarized it all night long on the 27th, and I was soon to return to the status related enquiries.
I used to say that suzaki is a palace service, but if an emergency project comes in the May Rain Ceremony, and it comes in like an avalanche, it will break the palace service.
"Isn't this the work of the Commission for the Protection of Personal Information?!"
Murakoshi was indignant as he clapped the document in his left hand with a van and his right hand.
"I don't know... it's just a department for reviewing the Personal Information Protection Act and my number related laws..."
As Narumiya raised her face as she loosened the bear under her eyes, Mitsui supplemented it by waving the ballpoint pen between her index and middle fingers.
“We also have an international point of contact for handling personal information.”
"I mean, it's just personal information, isn't it?"
While saying that Sugita had no body and no lid, she ran her fingers on the keyboard with tremendous vigor, and since the first contact by JDA, she had been fleshing out transfer stone exchanges, the opening of radio waves in the dungeon, and even the Shibuya turmoil into a cover story made up with JDA cooperation. Apparently, it is a single finger punch method when typing, and it seems to be touch typing when typing Roman characters.
It seemed like I could afford to joke that I had to send it by 15: 00 today, or that I could incorporate the romantic elements of me and Dantsuk in this while complaining about what the joke was all about.
Of course, "You were bedridden before you met him," and he was extremely serious, but he was going to dent, but he felt like a novelist anyway.
"That's stupid..."
Murakoshi lowered his hips and dropped his shoulders.
In the first place, you don't really know what the status is.
Well then, let the Dungeon Administration do it!
"There, we also coordinate with various ministries in the dungeon administration, so in the end, we may be able to compile guidelines for each ministry, but this is the material from the previous stage."
Sugita looked at her frayed hair, thinking that the side of the tired lady was quite full of eroticism, and there was no good in it. She picked up the documents that Murakoshi had thrown and looked through them. She put them back on the pile of documents piled on the desk and said with a bitter smile.
But you're not aware that there are only four of us up there, are you?
"Don't say it. You're going to cry."
Mitsui dropped his eyes on the desk holding his head.
Of course, the Cabinet Intelligence Officer of Murakita will know, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others who inquire next sent two self-reflecting people, so there was nothing to be shy about.
Of course, that's how much pressure we're putting on foreign countries.
The two members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to smile bitterly, but they could drown in the sea of work if they didn't sort out their priorities anyway.
The problem is that all work is treated with the utmost priority. At this moment, the meaning of ranking was completely collapsed.
Narumiya, who smiled bitterly at Mitsui's lamentation, stood up and stretched her hips.
"All right, let's take a break."
At the same time, they decided to order out for lunch. I was too tired to go out for dinner.
Sugita, who was sitting on the sofa with her arms tied behind her head, asked Narumiya as soon as the order was over on the phone.
Yes, who were those two people on the roof after all?
The two of them were involved in the case, so much so that they could pull over and help us if they could.
In the first place, Dantzk's nostalgia was unusual. In other words, there is a great possibility that he was familiar. It is also possible that they were the ones who made the real first contact.
"I tried to contact the JDA.──"
From the pile of documents in front of her, Narumiya picked up the printed paper and flicked it with his finger. On the paper, two pairs of problematic people were looking at us as they went down from the roof.
It was a photograph taken in a hurry when I saw that the elevator started coming. It is not very good, but there is a resolution that can be distinguished by the people who know it.
"They refused to answer under the shield of── privacy."
Well, if you take a picture and go around in Yoyogi, you'll know it in one shot.
The answer is "I don't know", which means that I am a famous explorer to the extent that I know who I am by photographs alone.
Narumiya gave the photo to Sugita and nodded bitterly.
Probably, but I didn't have to look into it.
A cabinet intelligence officer?
A government official cannot be acquainted with an ordinary Explorer.
Someone related to someone who has a relationship with their relatives or friends, or an otherwise unusual Explorer.
"Well, when I showed you the pictures, you made me complain." They thought they were poking and playing. "
Tsubaki? Well, what about that woman?──
That's right. They say they have [appraisals] as well.
Miyoshi? Then what about the man?
"Murakita-san didn't seem to know, but in light of the circumstances, she must be a party member."
Looking at Danzk's nostalgia, I didn't think he was just an acquaintance.
About 1% after the decimal point is unlimited, there may be a special physique that releases something like pheromones.
"Hmm. Is this Keigo Yoshimura?"
Sugita looked at the picture as if she were looking at a rival.
Mitsui peeked into the photo from the side and said, "Isn't it completely different from TV?!" I'm surprised, "she murmured," I'm sure that a woman can make a fool of herself. "
No, I don't think so.
It wasn't makeup, it was disguise.
Well, I don't even know if I'm going to be that famous when I'm in public. I don't think I should wear a mask and wear sunglasses.
"It's a question of why Dantsuk was so nostalgic for the D-Powers, but I don't think JDA would be honest with me about it."
So, what about the military?
Sugita asked Narumiya while putting the picture on the table.
"The French Embassy has responded." The two soldiers in question are actually enrolled, and the IDs presented appear to be authentic. "
"It would be suspicious if the lieutenant colonel of the cos (Special Operations Command) were to wander around the scene." So, what about the guy they seemed to be chasing? Are you a criminal or something? "
This department doesn't have the authority to ask for identification.
The two soldiers didn't want to make things worse, so they exposed themselves to the scene. So they didn't know who David was.
But in the brief exchange I heard, you were arguing about the testimony and the bloodstains.
"Some of them were celebrities." David-Jean-Pierre-Garcia. It seems to be the patriarch of the French cult. "
"Huh. It's kind of dangerous that a soldier is chasing a cult patriarch."
Sugita's eyes glistened rather than frowned at fiction-like events.
Murakoshi looked at it sideways and asked with a bitter smile.
So, did you really have nothing to do with it?
"But I can't say that." The cult, erm...── "
I took the note from the desk where Narumiya was gradually becoming chaotic.
"It seems to be called Altum foraminis sacri esse.──"
"Deep hole teachings? That's a strange name, isn't it? Are you an erotic type?"
Mitsui clamped his mouth in awe at Sugita, who said something strange.
"Do you also speak Latin?" I don't have an idea of eroticism. "
"Latin is a sweetheart, sweetheart."
"You're so naughty... but there's no erotic system."
Eros anyway, deep holes are reminiscent of enough dungeons.
It is impossible for the head of the sect to accidentally clean up the place beyond the dungeon at a time when something was supposed to manifest itself.
In other words, the information was leaked.
"But isn't it more important that the cult patriarch, who is not supposed to be an intelligence agency, has information about Shibuya?" I wouldn't say it was a coincidence. "
Even if it's a leak from the security department, what do I have to do to get to the cult?
The story seems deeper than the murder of a lawyer triggered by the leak of the video from the press.
In the first place, it seems unlikely that the French-based cult is building an information network in Japan's public security, even in the world of fiction.
Couldn't you have investigated this too?
"No, I've reported it, and I'm sure it's moving up there." I'm not sure if the results will come down to us. "
"Well, I don't want to be reported." However, it seems that some organizations were also set up, and after all, Japanese confidential management is monkey..... "
I knew it, but Sugita sighed that it would dent.
So, do you end up coming into contact with D-Powers?
As a dungeon room, I don't think we'll be able to avoid it anyway.──
Narumiya pointed at the pile of papers in front of her with a disgusted face.
──First, we have to do something about these guys.
It's stupid to say that cooperation with other ministries will delay your original work.
Sugita slipped on the couch, sat sloppily on her waist, and rang the bell as she vomited poison. Looks like we've arrived.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
On that day (* 2), at 15: 30, Prime Minister Ibe held a short meeting with the Cabinet Intelligence Officer of Murakita.
The materials handed over there should be important materials that will form the basis of Japan's future diplomacy.
"What is this...... So, is it okay if I can investigate this?"
“They say there's no lies written. Except for the guessing part, it didn't matter if it was interpreted differently.”
He was the elite of the chosen bureaucrats. I wonder if there is no frost around it.
Iebe didn't know exactly what the selection would be like. If I had known, I would have become anxious.
"But will this treat the DA (Dungeon Association) as a bad person in some cases?"
"It is the world's state that has delegated authority to the DA." I think this level is acceptable.── "
“Now that we know who to contact, don't you know what to expect?”
"I don't think I'd agree with you to leave me alone forever..."
If such a story occurs, Yota may again have a serious taste for the establishment of a nation by WDA.
"Moreover, even if you don't like Japan, you will stand on the arrow face of the world."
It's a show of arms, isn't it?
Shall we run for president?
"It's only been half a year since I decided on the third term last year, so I guess it's impossible. Do you want a scandal to happen?"
Iebe sighed exaggerately and asked a brief question about the content of the material.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
An hour later, after a brief briefing, Murakita summoned Naiya National Security Director, Michima Defense Policy Director, and Chief of Staff Nogawa Integration, Ibe attended the NSC's four-ministerial meeting and then headed for Shinjuku 1-chome.
A while after the sun set, on the eighth floor of the building standing in front of the garden, I was face-to-face with a person who could not have been in such a place.
The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Assistant to the Prime Minister, Fujiwei, the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Ikuta Tsubaki, and the Acting Chairman of the Fuji New Government Survey, who were brought together for ostensible reasons, are having dinner with the owner of the office in the adjoining room.
Isn't it too tight to joke about going to Kim's office?
A nice man floated a dazzling light in the back of his glasses and said so with his mouth wide open.
This is the office of a woman who has been involved in the independence movement in Taiwan for many years. It is certainly not fashionable to call the Chinese ambassador to Japan there. Even ambassadors who have served for more than nine years may be dismissed (* 3) if they are witnessed by people who are secretly visiting the place.
Besides, there's another one next door.──
Since the Grand Hyatt the other day.
It was not Ambassador Hagati who sat there relaxed, but DMC Jonas = Young.
He is an experienced professional diplomat, and it is said that no matter what kind of person becomes an ambassador, the problem with anti-Japanese diplomacy does not arise because they have a DMC. Of course I'm fluent in Japanese.
When I saw that he was not a counterpart but an under-secretary, the Chinese ambassador to Japan (Chen) Huayong (Fayon) narrowed his eyes slightly and only reviewed the ambassador's Hagaty a little.
It is a secret meeting where only one person from each country is allowed to enter. No one knows, so the mentee won't be crushed, and if it's a highly diplomatic conversation, he may not be enough. Hagatti has sent DMC Young without any consideration or hesitation to the counterpart. He is virtually the commander-in-chief of the diplomatic field against Japan.
"Huh. What are you doing at the hotel with the prime minister? It's a secret meeting, isn't it?"
“No, the ambassador just joined Prime Minister Inabe in the Grand Hyatt sauna. I'm just a gift.”
"Sauna with the ambassador on holiday? Was it such a relationship?"
“What, we're not going to have lunch together at the mansion?”
I used to have lunch with Ibe quite often, as long as Japanese was spoken. Unusual for an ambassador.
Fufufu, hahaha, and the Chinese ambassador and the American Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary were rewarded with a dry laugh, while Inabe put on a half-smile smile. These two are the representatives of the country that has demanded the most fierce explanations.
After being rewarded with a brief jab of words, I cut out the story without any prelude.
"There are many things I want to say, but as a Japanese, I would like to ask Japanese citizens about the secrets of the distribution of D-cards at once."
China, which has already become a food-importing country, is currently registering as a seeker in anticipation of unlimited food, but it is also a marginalized region of the dungeon, and its progress has not been slow.
That was a story of interest to the United States, where there were quite a few dungeons.
Currently, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of the United States) is investigating rapidly, but it seems that food produced in dungeons has the effect of expanding human capabilities. If that were true, it would be a big deal. We can't let the United States go around behind us.
“I was going to explain the situation in Japan today and answer as many questions as I could, but it's still sudden.”
“We don't have time. Isn't that right?"
To the Chinese line, Inabe skipped through the details with an inner bitter smile.
To put it simply, during the Shibuya disturbance the other day, a government official who came into contact with a girl made a request.
Please?
"Rather than permission, right?" I will allow you to prepare to serve the Japanese people, "he said."
“I didn't know there was a body in the government that could decide that.”
No, it's more about how you learned about Shibuya than it is about that.
Shutting off Young's thoughts, she said:
Because one of their aims is to get some kind of evidence that Japan is in contact with, and to get our country there.
It is good to have made contact in Shibuya, but how did you know that it would appear in Shibuya in the first place? It is a situation that can only be considered impossible without prior contact.
I would definitely be in trouble if I was pushed in, but Iebe had prepared an answer to this question in advance.
"It's the same with you, how did you get caught?"
The two diplomats shut their mouths.
The surveillance cameras in Shibuya may naturally include CIA personnel and Chinese special forces personnel. It was sudden chaos, and it was impossible to control the details.
Moreover, the number of private cameras was unknown, and the photos and movies taken there were still busy with SNS.
Some sort of organization, presumably from the Chinese side, went so far as to abduct an old man who appeared at the same time. I suspected the reporter of what he was saying when he reported that he had disappeared like a phantom in the blink of an eye.
However, whether it is the United States or China, it cannot be said that it is a leak from the Japanese security department. Therefore, it could not be clearly stated where it came from.
Of course, both of them were reluctant to say, "It's from your country."
What's the word?
It seems that you can speak Japanese.
D-cards are displayed in native languages around the world, as are items in dungeons.
Language itself does not seem to pose a particular problem.
"However, suddenly there is a disturbance in Shibuya that I am not convinced about. Are you sure you haven't had contact before that?”
As Young rearranged his legs, he put his hands together in front of his chest and looked suspiciously as he made a tent.
"Actually, on the 12th of March, I got a report."
"Report?"
It was reported that the purpose of someone on the other side of the dungeon was to "serve humanity".
If that's true, then someone at the beginning of the report has made contact with someone on the other side of the dungeon, or else got something that could be conclusive evidence.
"Who wrote the report?"
"If you follow Daiyuan, it will be JDA. After a detailed investigation, it seems that in February── of this year, an Explorer who came── into contact with something beyond the Demiurgos dungeon took back the purpose of the dungeon."
"Was Japan hiding that until now?"
He said as he stood up from the chair with a rattling sound.
"No, there is no evidence, but it is just a testimony that says, 'The purpose of serving humanity', can you be properly contacted?"
"Mhh..."
"Of course, for the time being, such a heavy spit in the eyebrows, and a case that is not even at the level of rumor, was thrown into the category of investigation, and for the time being, nothing progressed."
The number of eyebrow spitting cases is high. If you put as much effort into everything, the government's functions will be disrupted.
In a case like this one, JDA is contacted and awaiting an answer.
Where the hell is this Explorer?
"According to reports, it's a room with 31 floors."
Well then, you can go to that room.──
Transfer stones 31 have already been sold in JDA. In other words, the 31st layer can send in diplomats without risking anything.
The two of them had a joy that could not be concealed, but Ibe continued with a sad face.
“Unfortunately, we don't have that room anymore.”
Don't know?
As soon as I received the report, I had the militia dungeon check the room, but there was no door itself.
That was the reason why the investigation of the report could not proceed.
“So the first report was false?”
"I would like to conclude that the Shibuya incident actually occurred, and the D-card was distributed to the Japanese people."
"You think there was some kind of truth in there?"
The well was just a small shrug to show off.
At that time, Young remembered the man who was in the house where Hagaty had delivered the wine.
After analyzing the footage of Shibuya, it was definitely the man first.
According to the records, Miyoshi was on the 31st floor during the Self-Defense Forces disturbance. There was no record of a man, but it is not strange to be with him. In this way, someone who does not know who belongs to this story appears in an important role. The rest is a matter of simple arithmetic.
The credibility will be further enhanced by taking into account the information Simon and the others have received.
When I suddenly noticed it, my eyes were looking like I was exploring. Young smiled gently at it.
It seems that China has not yet arrived at that information.
His country's intertwined technique of using democracy's justice and people and money has reached the art world. It was a great thing to raise justice and use it as an incitement.
In my country, where he is held hostage to excessive ethics and privacy protections, he may even be left behind in important departments such as AI and medicine in his country for years to come. After all, there are virtually no restrictions there.
If such a country had noticed, there would have been some kind of peaceful contact there, but there was no report of that from the surveillance team.
It seems that there was contact with Russia, but it is irrelevant in time.
"So you don't think there's a way for us to make direct contact?"
Without answering it, Ikebu took two copies of the document out of the briefcase and placed it in front of them.
What's this?
“If you trust it, there's only one way to get in touch with it.”
What?
The two of them took the document in haste.
As soon as he saw it, he frowned at the letters written there.
"Japanese is also unfriendly."
"I've shaken the kanji with rubies." Since this is a project that crosses the line without a lifeline, isn't it wrong to mislead? You two can help each other. "
Young, who had read it earlier, spoke up unusually dumb to him. "
"What? Prime Minister Ibe. With all due respect, are you out of your mind..."
What was written there was no need to risk diving into the dungeon, and it was an easy way to get in touch with a web browser.
Danzuk-chan's question box?
“Yes, it's one of the sites that JDA opened.”
I knew for sure that both of them could have done such a thing.
However, it was recognized that it was just one of the services operated by JDA. But if what's written here is true,──
"Oh, no way..."
“Yeah, I can write── it in there.”
"Did you put him in contact with the general public?!"
Unexpectedly, he slammed the table and floated his hips.
But Iebe said with a bitter smile.
“If we create a site where we can talk to our friends at Tau Keci (* 4), will the state censor it?”
"Mmm..."
If such a site were created, all users would think it was a spoofed site.
In the old days, when literacy was still low, people might have dreamed of it. Like the boys and girls who were looking forward to seeing the Kawaguchi expedition as real.
But it's a time of lots of information. It is safe to say that such a person is an endangered species.
In those days, if the state shut down the site, what a conspiracy theory could actually happen.
Recently, some website developers may be able to calculate and play with it, but JDA, whose purpose is to convey the correct information of the dungeon, could not have done such an imitation.
“Think about it. Nobody can believe you're really talking to someone over there in the dungeon.”
Occasionally, it raises unusual stories, but most users still play while thinking that there are people in AI.
There was no need to make a wave there on purpose.
So Japan is doing this too?
“I'm thinking about taking advantage of it.”
In fact, I heard that one of the people in the D Exchange Preparation Room invited her on a date was the beginning of the Shibuya incident, but even if you talk like that, you will be just shocked.
Besides, I wanted a dedicated site to be a trump card in Japan. For as long as possible.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Let me do it, senpai!
I sat on the sofa and lifted my face from the material I was reading when Mitsuyoshi's voice rose from his desk and chair and sounded strangely impatient.
“Oh my God, if you're having trouble selling SMD at a high price, there's nothing you can do about it for now.”
No! I've signed up for a bootcamp!──
It's about 100 times!
Huh?
It was a phenomenon that could only be called a status bubble.
The moment the D-card was distributed to the entire population, access to the site focused on the advantages of the status and how to increase it, and it seemed that the boot camp, in which only a successful experience was spelled out, was the closest.
As a result, there were about 5,000 applications per week, and it is expected that the number of applications will increase to 500,000 at once and will continue to increase in the future.
After all, 1.7% of the world's population became virtually explorers in this small island nation. The number exceeds 120 million.
“But now that we have more applications, we just have to get the same number of people from the top in line with the standards we've used so far, so the effort won't change that much, right?”
"The pressure of the world is different."
Ah, well, that's true.
More than a lottery, I will continue to submit that I may win one day, but in the first place, the people who receive the foot-cutting can't help but win.
I'm not lying because I draw after my legs are cut off.
"And what if a request like Mr. Wheat is made over a wider area?" We've set a precedent, after all. "
Hmm...
Surely that is the problem.
It was a kind of metamorphosis. Those with low stats will struggle to beat those with high stats, no matter how hard they try. If you make the same effort, you will never win.
Until now, I could give up with the word "difference in qualities", but this is equivalent to raising the quality itself. It is hard to imagine that everyone would want to do this if this fact permeated.
In this way, equality of opportunity is a very important factor for Japanese people. At least in the early days.
If you see signs of social disruption due to your status, you may be asked to have xx people take it every week from among my number card holders.
However, without Arsulz, it is difficult to gain experience with efficiency.
Only those with a great purpose and a strong will can honestly defend the inefficiency of many entrances. After all, I didn't know immediately whether it would be effective.
The more dense the population, the harder it will be. As a result, I can't wait to be treated like a scam.
"But... even if you turn 100 people into wheat every week, if you go to everyone, er..."
"It will take more than 23,000 years."
Miyoshi quickly subtracted the finger counting from my ass and replied.
"Twenty-three thousand years... from the time when Petrkovice's Venus was created to the present day?"
What is that?
“The Venus statue at the Archaeological Institute of Brno in Czechoslovakia. But it must have been an erotic doll made to comfort by a transfer from the modern era. Besides being completely unconscious, the proportions are modern and the shorts line is── like a gravure."
"It's too niche and no one knows." Anyway, we can only take responsibility until 70 years from now. "
When I heard that, I asked the question I had been thinking about.
Hey, Miyoshi.
What is it?
What do you think will happen to the lifespan of [super healing]?
"I tried not to think about it as much as I could..."
I know that small cuts will heal in an instant.
If body repair is done by accelerating metabolism, it will surely shorten the lifespan.
If the time flowing through the body is twice that of others, it makes sense that the life expectancy from the outside will be halved.
“Yes, but what if it simply serves to repair the cells?”
What if it doesn't become cancerous over time and keeps normal cell function forever?
Senpai, you're too old to be immortal.
Miyoshi closed the bootcamp application management page with a bitter smile.
It is also clear from the information obtained from the ever-present medical pod that a detailed examination at a medical institution would simply result in a "normal" result.
However, whether you worry or not, after a few decades, you will see the results in a daze.
Is it also a question of not coming to a conclusion?
If you live long enough, let's name you a descendant of Methoshella.
Is that how you escape into space?
It is a classic development that a long-lived species or an immortal species jumps out into space as a result of battling with those who are not.
"Well, that's the case with Heinline and Superman Rock." It seems impossible to build an interstellar spacecraft with decades of progress. "
"In the midst of this turbulence, I can't help but think about what will happen in a few decades."
When I put my hands together behind my head, I weakened to give up and nodded deeply on the sofa.
