It's all one flower.

2199. Narrow streets in the press

Regardless of Kufsienka's appearance, the warden continues his conversation.

It seems that the correspondent at the headquarters of the Hoshimitsu newspaper can contact reporters from all over the world via the Internet.

So you can get in touch with the head office of the Barbatum Federation faster than you can by phone, right?

Yes, I heard that you exchanged information with a special agent who was dispatched to Artel the other day.

The mayor of the Listvar autonomous region told Khufushenka about the information he had obtained from the commissioner of the Starlight newspaper Barbatum federal headquarters.

Three reporters were sent to the Republic of Artel. In addition to the same life department as the reporters left in the Listvar Autonomous Region, the Social Department and the International Department also sent out people.

Reporters who remain in the autonomous region say they have heard from colleagues about coverage in the Aatel Republic as a chat.

The main hub is the Starlight Newspaper Artel Branch, but the three reporters often stay in separate hotels and travel from there to the interview destination in line with the coverage target.

The Living Department covers the beliefs of the Artelians, education, health care, prices, etc., and life in general.

The Ministry of Social Affairs mainly packs offices, etc., and covers the internal affairs of the Artel government, the social and economic impact of the beast, and the movement of the Lacus Regional Enterprise Park Joint Committee.

In addition to obtaining an official announcement on the Artel government's diplomacy, the International Affairs Department will closely cover the Barbatum Federation Army Special Support Unit for the Extermination of Demons and Beasts.

The Artel government has requested that "the public should not be inspired by the mischief", and many people say that even if they write an article, it will not be published in the Artel version.

It can be posted in the headquarter version of the Barbatum Federation, and even Artelians can access the internet by acquiring equipment such as satellite mobile communications, or view it if they live outside the country and are not affected by fractures in the lake bottom cable.

It is a de facto censorship, even in the form of a “desire” to spread agitation to those who can no longer connect to the internet in Japan, so as not to cause social unrest.

At the Artel branch, the war and the blockade of the lake by the Lacrimalis Kingdom have led to a significant rise in the cost of materials such as paper and ink, as well as utilities. However, the demand and importance of paper newspapers increased due to communication interruptions caused by broken lake bottom cables.

Many companies and individual stores were hit economically by the war and the emergence of a large number of demon beasts, and advertisements were depressed. Demand for home learning has soared, and there have been more submissions from related industries, but not all advertising spaces have been filled.

Even though the number of pages has been reduced due to lack of materials, advertising spaces have become vacant every day. The hole was filled with articles, but there were many stories that could not be put down by censorship.

Well... that's what happened at Artel.

“Yes, there was censorship between the start of the war and the breakdown of communications, but it seems that the rising costs have led to self-regulation.”

The district director uses radio waves from the Lacrimalis Kingdom on the smuggled terminal to connect to the Internet. In addition to liaising with the headquarters of the Order of Kircurus, the charitable organizations of the faithful, the headquarters of the Star Sign (Shiruba) and foreign branches, we also collected information through the eyes of foreign newspapers and used it to govern the autonomous region.

The Star Beacon Arter Branch lost communication with the Nemus Liberation Army, and although we cannot gather information on the magic artillery that we promised, we can still contact the Lannister HQ.

“What articles do you think are no longer available?”

"Huh...? Huh? What is it?"

I was questioned by the warden, but Kufsienka got off on the pretext of thinking.

In order to refer to the censorship standards, this man must have heard from the specialist of the Starlight newspaper about the digging of roots and leaves.

“I was able to ask a reporter from the Living Department for more information.”

The warden began to preface his speech.

Food production was devastated in the Arterial Republic.

Beginning with high import prices due to the blockade on the lake, the bankruptcy of food-related companies instigated by abnormal fluctuations in the wheat market and the closure of restaurants and grocery stores, mainly bakeries. Food imports were further delayed by delays and stagnation in commercial transactions due to communication disruptions.

The massive appearance of demon beasts led to confusion in logistics, and some regions were forced to stop.

The appearance of native fish was not confined to urban areas, but cattle and flat-bred chickens that were grazing were devoured in the area. The pigsty was safe on a concrete farm, but the soil and grazing grounds were destroyed.

Native fish invaded arable land and were unable to do farm work.

In addition to caged chickens, quail, and some pigs, factory-produced mushrooms, bean seedlings, broccoli sprouts, and other hydroponic vegetables became self-sufficient.

Factories in other industries were unable to procure the necessary ingredients for their main business, but some of them were refurbished and converted into vegetable factories. Business and employment, and tearful activities to protect the Arterial table, became active.

But only companies with the capital investment in renovations and the strength to pay for burgeoning fuel costs can make the switch. Many SMEs disappeared in a short period of time.

Bird flu broke out at Artel's largest chicken farm, an arrowhead that began to show signs of improving food self-sufficiency even after entering a different industry.

Initially, the chicken farms tried to cover it up. However, the infection cannot be stopped by just taking measures on its own, and employees are also infected. After hospitalization, the avian influenza virus was detected and a serious situation was discovered.

The slaughter of hundreds of thousands of chickens has been decided, but we must deal with it quickly so as not to summon the beast. Moreover, we can't bury the corpses with the soilfish countermeasure.

However, even if it is not incinerated, it will not survive due to lack of fuel.

At the behest of the Arterial Government, the Barbatum Federation Army has provided fuel and personnel to assist in their disposal.

"However, in the case of the bird flu, the public was asked to solemnize the report on the grounds that they were upset and had fears that it would interfere with the maintenance of law and order."

"Well... what do you say?"

... selfish.

Kufushenka was dumbfounded, but continued words swallowed painfully.
