This time, I sneaked up on an elderly scholar teacher who gave me his contact information during a reconnaissance on that helicopter because I wanted to check the exact value of what I was offering. If we don't figure this out, we're going to waste our "sales".

Yeah, more than not wanting to spill gold or jewelry, our biggest product is the "Material of the World," and its value drops rapidly when it comes out to some extent.

... that means there are only a limited number and types of items that can be used as high-value items. I can't waste it.

So I wanted to get an accurate picture of the area...

Wolffang is trustworthy, but since everyone is not a scholar, a merchant or a politician, it is not appropriate to hear that.

When it came to dragon materials, it seemed like it was the seller's market, and it was the seller's business, so I managed to deal with it, but I wonder how much it would have been worth if it had been negotiated and dealt with normally in the public... academia, economics, politics...

Besides, Wolffangs only sold them when they were dragons.

Otherwise, I just offered it as a thank you or as a trading material, and I didn't sell it for money, so I don't know the price.

... ask a diplomat who is present at Isekon or someone from a large company?

Hahahaha...

Can you trust what they say?

Especially when we're known to be completely 'ignorant, amateurs' who don't know anything.

That's why I set up a place to exchange information with this scholar teacher.

... can you trust this guy?

If you lie to me now.

And if they find out later.

I will never ask this person's country again, and neither will I provide materials from other worlds, nor "provide information" like this one. And I'll explain why to the government, to the military... and to other scholars. I'm sorry for suddenly being cut off without explanation.

And the clever scholar teacher will of course know 'what I would do in that case'. Because I know it (...), I believe what the scholar teacher is talking about.

Therefore, I believe to some extent what the scholar teacher says, and the scholar teacher does not lie 'if he finds out'.

... yes, 'I believe it somewhat'. I'm not stupid enough to believe everything.

So, can we do this turn next time?

"Ah, yes...."

Yeah, the world, give-and-take. Not only do I have to ask, but I have to answer those questions. This is a place to exchange information on an equal footing...

"Well, although your world's environmental conditions are very similar to those of Earth, they're not exactly the same....."

The scholar also went to other worlds and got off the ground with a helicopter, so I know that gravity, atmospheric composition, spectral distribution of light from the main star (star) are almost the same as Earth. And the shape of the continent is different from the earth....

But it's only natural to imagine that the biological phase is so similar to Earth. No matter how unexpected it may be, it is the instinct as a scholar and the significance of his existence (resonant) that he seeks to build a theory that explains it beyond the fact that he has confirmed it with his own eyes.

Yes, it's incredibly similar and unrelated to Earth.

But I don't know why, even if I ask.

"Yes, there is no way that we can understand that the teacher, who is the highest level of knowledge in our world, has advanced far beyond my world...

However, because of the different shapes of the continents, I wonder if it is a "parallel world", or even if it were a branched parallel world, the branch point would be a long time ago..... "

Yes, long before the shape of the continent is determined, and yet the factors that cause the continent to differ greatly in shape.

... but that doesn't explain the similarity of the biological phase.

Does it branch out that long ago, and there's a lot of the same creatures that look like this?

Concurrent evolution has its limits.

"Ummm... Again, relatively recently, there has been a massive mix at the continental level..."

When scholars say "relatively recently," they mean tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.

... I don't know what's "recent"!

Well, no matter how much you think about this topic, it's useless. There is no way to confirm it.

If you dig the beach and even the Statue of Liberty comes out, the story will change...

"The existence of things like that anomalous caris (...), something like Halkigenia (...), etc..."

Ah, the one I gave you for the scout flight the other day...

"There are normal people everywhere, right? There aren't many parts that can be eaten at once, so there aren't any fishermen who specialize in catching them, but it feels like if they happen to catch them, they'll eat them..."

"Tah, I'll eat!!

Scholar Sensei looks stunned.

Well, that sounds like an outrage that goes far beyond making and eating sushi alive from the captured sherakans on Earth.

Ah, now you're eating the dragon meat as a steak.

But over there, I'm dealing with shrimp like a car on Earth... Well, I'll eat it if I get it. It's a valuable source of protein...

Then, for the time being, a meaningful exchange of information...

"How many years have I had such a meaningful time... No, it was really fun. Thank you...."

"No, thank you for telling me so much.

... so, are you sure you want to tell me so much? From the point of view of being contrary to the national interest...

Besides, don't you need to report on your meeting with me and the content of this meeting?

Yeah, I don't want to be reported if possible, but I didn't say anything that would bother me if I didn't.

The scholar teacher will have a position, and I am sorry if he is bullied because he is a non-national who betrayed the country. That's why, if you're questioned by people in black who have information to do with it, I don't mind if you tell me everything...

"Oh, no problem. Nothing, I'm not a government official.

He is just a scholar, and research flights (at that time) and research on samples are just commissioned work.

No matter who he meets in private time, and no matter what kind of research he conducts, no one can complain. Of course, there is no obligation to report. "

Ah, is that so? But...

"I didn't say anything else that bothers you, so don't hesitate to say" (even) "if you do!

"Sobbing... This is another interesting expression....."

I wonder if the automatic translation function in my brain translates directly? Or why?

Well, that's a little ridiculous, isn't it? That was rude...

"But if the content of the story is too empty, there is a possibility that you won't see me again next time, or even if you do, the content of the story will be restricted. Regardless of the fact, the probability of" grunting "will be set to zero at a time when" grunt "thinks that it is possible at all!

... certainly...

What are the top priorities for older scholars with short time remaining?

Well, there must be a lot of things.
