It's all one flower.

The line waited for the pay phone, and it was before noon, and I even let him in the front door of the district office.

Small bulletin boards have precautions when using pay phones.

◆ To all visitors to the Agency using public telephones

A single call should be made within five minutes.

To the city, two coins are approximate.

Please rearrange them at the rear of every other location.

It will be an inconvenience to everyone else.

In case of coin clogging or malfunction, please contact your telephone company.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Rufus East District Manager

... That's a lot of caveats.

I guess that's all I had to rub.

The District Hall lobby nowadays is a quiet thing, with no one opening their mouth but a whispering phone call.

The marble walls on the right hand side of the lobby are equipped with a built shelf, with three payphones spaced apart.

The stone shelf had a small hole for wiring and a discoloration of the same shape as the body. They originally had seven cars here.

The people waiting for the order line up and move each time someone finishes the call.

From the position of the locks, they could not be heard to the contents of the call. I can tell by the tone of my voice that it's for work, not personal.

If nothing happens, Roark is old enough to enroll in college, but he can still believe me when I say he's in high school. But he didn't look like a junior high school student anymore on a boulder.

Refine the settings and wait for the order.

When I proceeded from the front of the queue to the sixth, I heard fragments of the story.

Voices ordering materials, inadequacies in the content received in the mail, demands for correction, reminders of payment…

The adults tell the matter quickly, shut their mouths for a while, listen to the other voice, and reply again quickly. Every voice had a sense of urgency and couldn't afford to say anything extra, such as public talk.

Roark opened the image folder on the tablet terminal and made the photo of the newspaper appear.

It's a comprehensive ad put out by several phone companies. For the younger generation who have never touched a pay phone, illustrate how to use it in diagrams.

Experienced in use, but very different from the model of the Republic of Nemoralis known to Roark.

There's only one kind of coin you can put in a pay phone in your country. Raise the receiver, put in the coin, and turn and hang the disc with your fingers with numbers from zero to nine.

The closest to the stop position is "1" and the farthest is "0".

Place your finger in an open hole in each numerical part of the disc and turn it to the stop position on the right. Once, release your hand and wait for the disc to roll back into position.

If I was at the side, I knew the phone number without having to look at my license, with the length of the sound of "ZI" turning to the stop position and "corny" returning to the original position.

But the Artel Republic phones are pushphones lined with buttons of numbers and symbols. After pressing the first digit of the phone number, no wait time occurs to press the second digit.

... you make a difference in communicating information even here.

It's a small thing, but if you stack it up, it makes a big difference.

The Republic of Nemoralis has both national communications and business dealings with neighboring kingdoms of Lacrimalis and Amitostigma. There must have been plenty of opportunities to find out about the existence of pushphones.

Even if domestic manufacturing is impossible, why didn't you even import it?

... even though it's not a wacko that needs a massive capital investment like the internet.

The Internet will also be available locally if a satellite mobile communication system is installed that does not require construction.

The Nemoralis ministry of trust (Shinji) did not understand why it would not develop its communications infrastructure at all, leaving it in a period of civil unrest for half a century.

The Republic of Artel is all a private telephone company or telecommunications operator, but in the Republic of Nemoralis, the telephone company of the Ministry of Information and Communications and its subcontractor telephone construction companies are responsible for the telecommunications business.

Nemoralis subcontracted telephone companies are all private companies, but without orders from telephone companies and local telephone stations, they cannot do major jobs, such as constructing poles.

For the purpose of this investigation, I was asked by Senator Laqueus through Farkill via Fiarluca to tell me that the telephone body is often developed by the telephone company itself.

Sometimes companies that manufacture consumer electronics sell products they develop independently to public companies.

Once accepted by the public company and approved by the Ministry of Information and Communications (Shinji), the model can be sold at the consumer electronics outlet, etc., and the installation work at the business premises and households will be constructed by a private telephone construction company.

Private telephone construction companies often have telephone dealerships.

When Roark was in Nemoralis, he had never seen a pushphone, not at a consumer electronics mass retailer, not at a telephone store.

... Is that what you said or did you restore the line between Rachka and Cravel?

Been working in Artel territory ever since we left Rufus seminary, and the information on Nemoralis can only be found in a report compiled by everyone from mobile broadcaster Praetelmisa and comrades. I couldn't go find out for myself, but it was so bad.

... Let's ask Mr. Kraustra if anyone can check on the line restoration status from Cravel to Geatzint.

Soon the order will come around.

Again, I checked how to use the pay phone.

Pushphone numbers are arranged differently from calculators for some reason. Be sure to remember not to mistake it for a familiar line in a commercial high school class.

... that? You can make a calculator push button, and you can make a phone like Artel, right?

Why do you dare continue to use inconvenient old-fashioned models while having the skill to make them?

He is accidentally put on his back and raises his face from the terminal. The front deck is deserted.

Roark met with a second company employee and ran over to the pay phone.
