Sweet Reincarnation

242 Stories Anko Festival

A middle-aged man and a young man skipping their gaze around rarely in a brand new building. It's Horwood and Digidelio.

When it becomes a good place for us to start today, we can't contain the feeling of exalting things. Have a literal castle of our own. It is true that even as a person who has had a career as a researcher, it was one dream. If I didn't have eyes, I might have danced with one of the skips. In fact, the current footprint is slightly suspicious.

"Quickly, if you want me to start researching, I want you to hurry first."

"Things to do in a hurry?

"Yes."

Excited to see the two as dry as children with warm eyes, Pace said he would do his first job.

As a fellow researcher, we're going to devote ourselves to the Mortairn family. As most new employees do, these two are also sticking up for batch coincidence.

"Please say anything. I'll bury you."

Horwood's words are motivating. Now, the nose is rough when you solve and show what kind of difficult question it would be, and no matter what the challenge is, you solve and show it.

"I would now like to ask you to explore the mineral resources within our territory"

Payce's request to the new director, one step ahead of such a rampage, was an odd one.

Horwood to be eaten by accident.

"What? Is it a mineral resource exploration?

Oh, my God, that's weird. If you are truly forced to explore mineral resources, you are no different than you were when you stayed at the Royal Institute. To the surprised Horwood, Pace doesn't break his smile.

"Yeah. There are literally mountains of untouched land in our territory. Mineral resources are likely to be asleep... but I've never been able to reach them."

"Ha."

Rather than having mountains on Mortaire territory, it should be said that Mortaire territory was established on the basis of mountains. The nominal territory is to the foot of the mountain, but since it is debatable how far the foothills stretch, it is practically beyond the summit of the mountain to reach the other territorial side. Especially where we are bordering neighbouring countries, there is no fold about how far each other's land is, so if we get our hands on it poorly, war breaks out. Nominally Mortaire territory, but full of contentious land with many boundaries.

Whatever it is, the territory of Mortairn is a land surrounded by four thousand metres of mountains, and that is the mountain, wherever you look. Even if there were mineral resources somewhere in it, it wouldn't be worth surprise.

But I haven't gotten my hands on it until now.

It also took a lot of time and money to get through the roads to the mountains, and I couldn't invest in resources that I didn't know if I had. As much as I invest in something like that, I can expect a surer return on investing in flatlands of farmland. That has continued as a coherent policy for the last twenty years or more.

"This exploration of mineral resources has two objectives."

Pais brought a chair from somewhere. There are a good number of people.

When the boy leads the way in the wooden amplification, he continues to explain the story.

"Two?"

"One is to have concealed information (cover story) for your actions."

Pais stood up one finger all the time.

"What is it, it"

"We have many enemies and spies running rampant to explore the secrets of development. If you come here, and obviously special talent comes, you can definitely explore it first."

"Ho."

At present, the Mortairn family has no strong regulations on the entry and exit of people. It's the spirit of not refusing to come. In the past, we have also received displaced persons who have fled under duress, such as the survival of villages attacked by bandits, and basically people who come to Mortaire territory are to be accepted as long as they are decent people. What is unacceptable is political asylum and criminals. Even people who want a job and come and go, or people who come and eat them up, warmly accept that ordinary land can get rid of them.

But on the other hand, there is the disadvantage of accepting mortarn territory, or even people with evil thoughts about the Mortarns. Many humans come to explore the current state of affairs, the secret of which the Mortairns have rarely seen in the history of the world. That is what seems to be sending people in if they are most aristocrats. It's easy to deal with and monitor if you're an obviously understandable spy, but some of them are good at hiding their tails. They are trying to somehow capture the secrets of the Mortarn leap, or uncover the secrets that the Mortarns want to hide, and make it their own good.

What would happen if there were an important figure in this sight in spy heaven, where such a human being is a mess? I have no doubt that you will put in an exploration with those hands.

"Until you quit general purpose research, ordinary people won't feel uncomfortable. It's extremely natural for a person who has been in the left transition department for a long time to finally quit."

"I guess."

The allocation of the research budget is also minimal, and laboratories find it difficult to produce results structurally. Objectively speaking, it would be the Left Transition Department. In fact, humans born of general-purpose research do not except rare examples. I can't produce research results, so I don't collect money, I don't bring people together. It would be natural for a person who has been tied to such a place to want to quit. Not to mention if you are a person who has been left after being deprived of that achievement while delivering what can clearly be described as excellence.

Sometimes even within the institute it was seen with contempt and pity. I finally slap my resignation intolerably. There will be no human being who doesn't understand emotionally. Everyone agrees.

"But then there's the unnaturalness in terms of being hired by our house. Hire it and try to hide what you're doing, and that's the other way around it that makes you stand out."

"I see."

Pull out good researchers smoking in the Left Transition Department. This act in itself is not a rare story. But it's awkward that the Mortairns are the ones doing it.

The Mortairn family entered and left the general purpose magic lab. Without setting aside time, the lead researcher and junior researcher said he would quit from the Left Transition Department. The job location where he quit is said to be the head of the lab, which was quickly launched by the Mortairn family.

I think this stuff, whoever saw it, was connected when I quit. There have been some results since I was studying at the Royal Institute, and with those results I moved to Mortairn? Suspicion is an easy situation.

If it is an achievement that came out when I was in general purpose research, of course it should be knowledge belonging to the Royal Institute. It doesn't feel good from the people at the Royal Institute, such as hiding the achievements and making them a souvenir to other places. If you're a radical person, you'll make a fuss that it's a disloyalty.

"So I'm going to prepare a superficial" Reason for hiring. "

"That's resource exploration."

"Yes, generic research has been studying the properties of mineral resources as“ magic storage substances ”for a long time now. That's why I advertise that I hired a" researcher familiar with mineral resources ”. This will convince you that I have moved and scouted straight away, and that's your word if you can actually deliver results there. It's a very welcome story."

There is a problem when I souvenir the results I was studying in general purpose research. But if you assessed an individual's abilities rather than achievements, the corners don't stand.

I want mineral resources to buy a background that I have become more familiar with even if I don't like it, and use that knowledge to be active in New Heaven and Earth. If it was such a solicitation, it would be a great career change, with no one else to blame.

Prepare the prefabrication and explore the surface mineral resources. The place to look is Mortairn territory surrounded by mountains and is possible wherever you turn. There is considerable persuasion in the theoretical armed forces that they invest in the part of the territory that they have been shelving for a long time now, with the territorial management they have been financially affording. In fact, some cases have been seriously considered.

"... we're somewhat familiar with minerals after mining, but other things are amateurs, right?

"Of course, we'll have other manpower. It's easy to hire a mining engineer. I'm looking for a technician who retired from active duty to speak up."

"Ha ha."

In the Kingdom of God, there are extra mining engineers. More precisely, the developable eye-catching cousin is already over, and demand for mining engineers is past its peak.

There was also a high demand for mining technicians when they went to boost territorial expansion and were doing it in Ikeike. We will investigate simultaneously in newly acquired territories and so on, invest in mines that are likely to be profitable, and increase national power. He worked in mine development by ensuring that territorial nobles competed with each other to secure and compete in talent. There were times like that.

Time flowed, and the territory moved from enlargement to an era of maintenance, with resource exploration from more promising places. And all that's left is something less promising. Investments are slimmer.

As a result, there is now less demand for technicians for mine development than in the past.

This means that the conditions are in place for you to come to the Mortairn family.

A decade late for nobility elsewhere. Now that we can afford it, there is no unnaturalness anywhere when it comes to finally getting our hands on exploring mineral resources and gathering talent for it. People who are confident in their arms and eyesight, I am the one who comes together.

"The other is to secure the experiment site."

Pais puts up a second finger with a pip.

"Securing an experiment site?

"Yes, even though we have seen the invention of the example, a one-off success, we still have to experiment and increase stability and practicality. Right?"

"Yes."

An example invention is candy that allows anyone to activate the magic of [instantaneous movement]. The invention that sugar crystals, even if not as light gold, can store magic and process the form as it is, allowing magic to be activated. It's a great invention of the century.

Naturally, however, there are technical challenges that must be crossed by both mountains and mountains of lids for practical application. Can the accumulation of magic power be done besides Pais? Can wizards use the magic of others if they can? Is magic available with settled magic? How much accuracy is required in forming to activate magical effects? What do you do with the technology to ensure machining?

There are many things I would like to examine, and in which case, experimentation and trial and error are required for verification.

"When we do, we talk about where we're going to experiment. People who have just come from elsewhere frequently come and go to certain places. Sometimes, we encounter situations where we just think we've moved momentarily. You'll be suspicious."

"Indeed."

No matter how much you try to hide, it would be sweet to think that things can be completely hidden from magic alone. Failure must be taken into account, and measures taken to do so. In the case of [instantaneous travel], for example, where the information leak control is well experimented with, if the location deviates a little, we will find out. This is awkward.

Then it would be nice to experiment somewhat wide enough to fail, away from people and out of sight.

But if there were researchers out there all the time in places that aren't that popular (one person). This is no longer suspicious.

"If there is a name for resource mining, going behind remote mountains can also be a polar natural action. It would rather be inevitable. Also, you're going to a place like that at our job, so it must be natural for my father or I to magically pick you up. At least that's what the inhabitants think they don't know about the candy secrets in the example. Even if you were acting like you were only traveling momentarily, oh, you magically picked me up."

"I see."

If there is a situation of resource survey, or mining, there is no wonder that it is frequently out in the mountains. You can experiment all you want. In case you fly to a strange place in [Moment Travel], you'll figure it out when it comes to having it sent to Pais or Caserol for a resource survey. Because there's just a name for doing so.

"It is an ostensible reason to be generous at home, before construction that is not suspicious even when travelling frequently back and forth between remote areas and towns. That's resource exploration."

Pace stretches his chest that he found a pretty good pre-construction.

Indeed, it is a proposal that various problems are likely to be solved together.

But there's one problem.

"What if I really find the resources?

Pre-build the resource survey and actually hire a mining technician.

They won't let the mining technicians know what's going on, so they might inadvertently find a real mineral resource. In that case, the experiment site brings together mountain masters and nimble miners to become a gold rush. It would be very impossible to continue the experiment.

What if it does? Horwood asks Pais.

"Aren't you just happy then? It's a pancake from the shelf."

"Peony?"

The man overheard the unheard words.

"It's a paste of beans called fillings, wrapped in ingredients called cakes, it's a traditional sweet from a distant country"

"Heh."

Pais talks about sweets. The middle-aged man still doesn't know how passionate Pace will be making sweets, so he'll be in the shape of stepping through the mines as much as he wants.

Pepper pepper, pepper pepper, and tongue that often turns around to talk about the savings and goodness of Japanese sweets. I thought it was finally over, and the conversation continued about the treats, even more so if it was fuzzy.

Let the geeks talk and they'll fall for the dots.

"Ok, ok. Because I know it's a delicious treat."

"Really? I haven't spoken enough yet."

"Sooner or later, treat me when you get the chance. That's fine."

"I see... Hmm, are you happy to make Japanese sweets sometimes? The beans also gather a variety of different kinds for the filling festival…"

"Give me a break!!

Pais, wherever he went, was Pais.
