---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---

About three days after returning from a different world, I was looking at the documentary I took in my room while I was spare time, and the con, which was curled up next to me, looked up slowly.

"What happened?"

Looking out at the door of the room where Kon stared while calling out, I heard Shingo's voice along with the sound of the intercom.

"Koki, are you there?"

"I'm here, come in on your own."

When I replied, Shingo was doing something outside of the door with her, but eventually she opened the door with her feet and entered the room. Shingo's hands are covered with a bag full of sweets bought at PX.

"What happened to the sweets? Isn't he with Aikawa today?"

"Emi-chan and Alice-chan are going to the Space Development Agency's research facility. She said something about her paper."

Shingo sits down and explains why she is not the same as Aikawa, and she immediately tears off a chocolate bag to a kon who comes close to wanting sweets. I see, Shingo's guy alone came to me too much free time.

"In other words, Shingo was left by my favorite Aikawa-san, so he came to me. Rather, if he had so much spare time, he had to go to another world for a while."

"Fuh! No, that's not the case. I mean, Koki doesn't have Alice, so she's locked up in her room. I don't want to go to a different world, I'm too painful to have no internet connection."

Don't die for such a silly reason ... Shingo, sighing at your heart while watching your best friend eating sweets in front of you. However, considering the current situation again, I am really free.

In memory before reincarnation, there should have been a lot of time-consuming items such as home-use game consoles, animations, manga, movies, etc., as items to kill time. I have lost my memories of myself, but I think I was probably playing with these items with my friends during my spare time.

"But it's not in this world."

"Fuh? Did you say something?"

"No, nothing."

Shingo reacts to my solitary talk, but is appropriately misleading ... If you tell your best friend in front of you, "Shingo, I'm dead and reincarnated," you'll definitely think you're crazy. In the first place, there is no “nerd” that is called “subculture” or “media culture” in this world, but it does not exist at all.

The first thing I knew was that when I was little, I realized that there was almost no animation other than educational programs on TV. At that time, the television broadcasting had already been switched to satellite Internet broadcasting, so each home selected and received the broadcast they wanted to watch.

I thought that I did not receive animation because of my mother's education policy, but one day I grabbed the remote control on the table and checked how many programs were registered . The result was astonishing that nearly 600 of the Internet broadcasts were registered as "all" except for a dozen or so adult programs.

I wonder why I registered such a huge number of programs, but I was even more worried. Despite the nearly 600 Internet broadcasts, there were very few programs registered in the music, movie and drama categories. And even the slightest broadcast was suspended from midnight, not 24 hours, to 7:00 the next morning. When I knew this fact, I realized that this world was anomalous and asked my mother to know the names of famous composers, performers, film directors and cartoonists as far as I knew. Took.

She seemed quite surprised at my desperate look, but she said with a troubled face.

"sorry. I don't know them, are they famous?

She said she did not know the person in the textbook. One hundred times that of ordinary people, if their mother, who should have good memory, would not have existed if they did not know. So why did that happen ... I thought about myself and assembled a hypothesis.

There are three important pieces. First, in this world, World War II began in 1935. I think that the war that had become muddy and the victors would not be able to understand well in historical fact ended in a year and a half.

In reality, cultures such as movies and musicals will develop at a furious speed after the war, but fortunately those who avoided the tragic war in a short period of time would not rely on them and use their own power tomorrow. Culture was not developed.

Secondly, it has forever buried many people and their ancestors who would later grow out of the disease, which caused about half of the world's population to die, possibly due to European tragedy. In fact, one famous man who was supposed to become a best-selling writer before and after the European tragedy was confirmed to have died in mid-term. And third, I think this is the biggest reason ...

The speed of development of science and technology and its associated technologies was unusually fast. Taking photography technology as an example, even if a revolutionary method or equipment is developed, it is only one year or so, if it is as early as six months, if a new technology will be developed, we will shoot a movie until the new equipment is replaced. I wonder? I don't usually do it. And as technology changed at a furious rate, they became irrelevant to media culture, except for their lovers.

But could "Now" develop media culture rapidly? There are two reasons. The first is because there is a rare genius and my mother, Miki Arakawa, who suddenly appeared like a meteor in 2091 and continued to innovate. Thanks to her mother, the technology of the earth has blown away for nearly 100 years. No matter how much mothers can advance their technology only slowly in the future, I think it should be.

In that case, even if you make a video game or an animation that makes full use of new game consoles or special shooting technology, you can enjoy a work with a certain level of quality for a certain period of time. And the second reason I thought I could do it now is my existence.

Before reincarnation, Japan had created a world-class subculture culture! If you have been reincarnated from that world and Shingo, who probably likes it, and a mother of a genius technician, it will be as easy as filling this world with a subculture culture.

"Well, Shingo. Have you ever seen an opera?"

“Hmm?

"Then, let's see if the lines of the opera are in Japanese and the music isn't a difficult classic, but if it looks brighter?"

"Well, it's different from theater, right? I think you'll probably watch it if my imagination matches what I'm saying."

Indeed, do musical guys show interest? Hmmm ... isn't that a good opera like a girl opera rather than a comedy like an opera? Well, I need to ask other people about the spoils around here.

"I talked about Joachim last time. Would you like to be able to relive that story yourself using a video or a terminal?"

"Fuh! I want to do it!"

On the other hand, it seems that you can enjoy RPG or even complete role playing using VR technology. Rather, at the current technology level, it seems that it is more efficient to use a VR device in a smaller size, and if you use it well you can enjoy fantasy and action, and above all, you can enjoy a "spiritual horror game" that is difficult to express.

The production time can be greatly reduced if a dedicated department is set up and researched on Noah Island, and the technology is managed by a group of technicians led by mom. The macho who has an iron heart who does not seem to be surprised by some external stimuli may be responsible for the influence on the safety and mentality of the equipment.

"Okay, that's the last question. What if there was an" anime "where a cute deformed girl used magic to defeat evil organizations and cool soldiers worked to prevent terrorism?"

“Yeah! I definitely want to watch it.

That's right, Shingo, I have a dream. The subculture culture is what fulfills the dreams of becoming a "hero" that men have never imagined or that they have once imagined. Certainly, I think this world is a very happy world without major wars and incurable diseases, so I want to have extraordinary dreams. We can secure both technology and human resources ... the only other thing is the lack of funds. And anyway, if you want to start a new thing, you want to take the first step with your money so that you don't complain to the sponsor.

Currently, I have about $ 400 million in free funds, which is the remainder of the $ 500 million I received when developing a remedy for European tragedy, when I dug a hot spring with Shingo. It is. If you subtract the cost of purchasing the arrangements for Alice's birthday gift from here, the remaining is 150 million, which may be enough for the first period, but if you want it, I want a little more.

I should gather together to walk together, so I ask Shingo, who is already eating the fourth bag of chocolate, with a serious expression.

"Shingo, how much remains of the bounty?"

"It must have been a little over $ 300 million. Oh, it's not a waste! Oh, I installed new equipment at my own expense in my new research room in the research building of Kouki. Three still in the world It cost me a lot of money. ''

"I know I have 400 million, but I can use it for Alice's birthday present, so it's actually worth $ 150 million."

"Huh, huh !? Huh ... wait a minute! What is a present that will cost you nearly 24.6 billion yen in Japanese yen?"

"It's a secret, but is it 300 million?"

That means that Shingo will get 100 million and I will add about 25 billion yen to the rest, which would allow me to hire a Noah technician for personal reasons and pay other expenses. After all, there is no other way to go! And surely Shingo will walk together towards my stupid dream. So I ask Shingo.

"Shingo, a new era with me. Would you like to create a new culture?"

"Hey ..., what is Koki saying?"

Shingo opened my mouth and was hardened by my words. I laughed grinfully at the behavior as expected, and opened the lid of the carbonated drink on the table in preparation for the long explanation to Shingo.

On August 12, 2102, the government and some scientists and soldiers around the world said, `` The greatest genius of all time, '' `` Devil child, '' and `` Monster of knowledge, '' Koki Arakawa was first determined by himself. Decide to go to the front stage.

He later became the founder of the "Special Media Entertainment Division," which will account for as much as 40% of the total sales of the giant conglomerate Noah, "Father of the New Era," "Kirinji of Media," and ... No one had yet expected it at this time.
