Three years after D Genesis Dungeon

"Foo, good morning"

On that day, I came down to the office, yawning a little late, and Miyoshi presented a small package in the kitchen.

"What is it?" Seal "Well, what is that guy?" "Your seal? I've heard that the Prince's seal was" Azusa "." "Unfortunately, Hijyo It has nothing to do with it. ''

When I check the contents while sitting at the dining table, there is-

"Tyrol chocolate?" "Yes. And it's a Kyushu limited product."

However, today's regional products can be purchased online.

"So what is this?" "Senior. I guess it's not going to be an eternity since I graduated from a student. It's 14th today." "Oh! "Senior, old material" "I want you to say that it is universal. But why is it limited to Kyushu?" "Tyrol chocolate is milk nougat taste? That was only in Kyushu limited edition." Was he a politician? "

Tyrol chocolate seems to have started with three milk nougat flavors. At the time, it was a candy genre. Is that what it is now? Anyway, when I realized, I felt that various flavors had already been sold, but in my opinion, I might have liked the milk nougat taste best. I took one out and unwrapped it and put it in my mouth.

"It's good. But if you have tooth stuffing, it looks like you can get it." "In terms of natural enemy of stuffing, it's the same as Hichu."

While enjoying the nostalgic taste of milk nougat tirol chocolate, Miyoshi's mobile phone rang.

"Yes. Oh, Mr. Sayama."

Apparently, the partner is Mr. Sayama of Agricultural Research Institute. I guess they were left behind.

I moved from the dining room to the sofa where my glasses were lying on my face, and switched on the TV so that I didn't get in the way of the phone. Already after having breakfast, the glass had been flattened with the sound effect of staking.

On the screen, he described the incident that the wide show seemed to have happened yesterday with a loud gesture. The board on the back says, "The mystery of the magic crystal that has disappeared! The pop was stuck in terrible characters.

"A missing crystal?"

While thinking what it was, I slightly increased the volume that had been turned off.

"That's why it's gone." "Well, someone stole it? "It's like that there's someone in the lab for 24 hours, and the number that has disappeared is so large that it's not a very portable quantity." Is there a notice? 』

The bearded uncle said a silly joke, and the moderating man answered with a grin.

"It doesn't seem to be the case. So yesterday it seemed to be a fuss-''

Apparently, it seemed that a lot of evil crystals had disappeared from NIMS (NIMS). He concluded that what he was using for experiments was reduced to light before his eyes and disappeared, apparently not a theft but a natural collapse.

The world seemed to have been accepted as a phenomenon just by experiencing the disappearance of the orb, but it seems that the cause is completely unknown because it is not a time system like the orb and it suddenly disappears in a chaotic manner.

I immediately searched on my tablet. Such news is much more detailed and informative on bulletin boards. However, it is just a matter of telling us the credibility.

"Oh, there was."

According to the report, a similar incident occurred around NIMS. The content was similar to what happened at NIMS, and on the net it was already booming as a new legend of synchronicity.

"Huh ?!"

At that time, I heard a lonely voice from the dining room and looked up.

"Oh huh ... I see."

I asked, waiting for Miyoshi to hang up.

"What, Miyoshi. What happened?" "No, what do you say, it's a bit hard to believe?" "What, it's crisp"

"Senior. Do you think popping out of dungeons?" "... Yes?"

Suddenly, I was joking with a serious face, and I was gutted.

Dungeon management should only extend to a few meters from the dungeon entrance. For the time being, I think that experience reset is the proof. in addition--

"If that happened, aren't monsters roaming around the world nowadays?"

Mecha and Simon said that if they were military workers, they would be doing something to capture the monsters and take them out. If they died, they would repop somewhere in the same space.

"You said before, 'I'm afraid that goblins are walking all over the alleys.'

If the slime starts to pop out of the dungeon, no one knows when and where the catastrophe will occur and there is no way to prevent it. What if slime repopulated and destroyed an important part of a nuclear power plant?

It will be a probable nightmare, suddenly and without reason, like a SimCity disaster.

"The danger of monsters overflowing from the dungeon has been pointed out, but there is probably nothing that actually happened." "Well?" "But it seems that he has repopped." "What? What?" It's an orange tree. "

According to Miyoshi, the orange tree we had yesterday had become a big tree yesterday morning, and it was protruding from the greenhouse, so if we cut off that part, the branches would pop. Then, let the flowers bloom all at once-

"It seems that he got fruit."

I rushed involuntarily.

"I think I'm afraid of the occurrence of hybrids due to pollen spreading." "Since the season of citrus flowers is completely different, isn't it okay if pollen flies now?" He said so, after the fruiting, he seemed to give up a bit and calm down ... "" Well, that's what the D-factor does. "

Whatever happens at any time, as long as the barley's cryptic growth is seen.

"That's why we want us to see the scene." "Wait a minute. Why are we going to go? You can't do anything in the first place." "Well, yes. "Well, it would be a lie if it wasn't, but ... but there's something we need to report before us." "It seems we've reported it to the JDA and the Dungeon Agency."

I had a bad feeling.

"It's not in the dungeon, so you can't deal with it?"

Certainly, it is unlikely that the DA will rush into trouble with items bought and sold. Every ministry is so. It would be a different story if the scrambling would result in injury or murder, or the world would be destroyed, but it's normal to say "yes yes" after talking about such a story. There is no reality.

"Can't help it?"

After 19:00, Mr. Saito comes to the office. When I glanced at the watch, I called Miyoshi, and when I was about to go, I asked Naruse to contact Mr. Sayama and called him.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

If you go out of Shinjuku to Akihabara and take the Tsukuba Express, it takes one hour and 30 minutes to get to Tsukuba. At 15:00, we arrived at Tsukuba Station, and when we exited the ticket gate, turned right and headed for the A3 exit, which was a bit ahead. If you do not get out there, there is no taxi stand.

There was a shop selling mysterious vegetables next to Starbucks in the basement of the station. When I took a taxi, I immediately aimed at the Fruit Tree Tea Research Division.

It was nice to get off a taxi at a place that looks like the main gate, but there was a large sign stating "Vegetable flowering research department".

"Isn't Sayama a fruit tree tea research department?" "Oh, senior, that one."

At the point pointed to by Miyoshi, a signboard for the "Orchard Tea Industry Research Division" was installed to hide behind the planting. Although the size of the sign is almost the same, why is there a planting in front of the sign only on this side? A mystery.

Anyway, there seems to be no mistake here.

"Well, Miyoshi" "What is it?" "What is a flower?" "Yes! I thought it was a vessel for arranging flowers." "As expected, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will not study vessels." I don't really know where I'm doing, even though it's a vegetable flower.

While talking about such a story and waiting for guidance, Mr. Sayama came over the gate and waved his hand.

"Oh, Mr. Miyoshi!", "Hello", "No, I please come well. We on the other, what is something or", "also is said so, does not mean that we also get used to your power"

Sayama stopped and looked back at us.

"What I want to know the most now is the cause."

Even if the tree is managed this time, the same can happen if the cause is unknown. This time, even if there was no choice, it was necessary to take measures.

"So, that means ..."

He glanced at Miyoshi, looking very apologetic. Apparently, she seems to be expecting her skills. However, Naruse and his friends probably had nails. It seemed very difficult to tell. Miyoshi smiled slightly and only said, "Can you show me anyway?"

Sayama nodded greatly and resumed the guidance immediately.

On the way, when I asked Mr. Sayama about "flowers", he said that it was written as "flowers" in a concept that included all the plants for appreciation. "If you write flowers, you will not have flowers, for example, houseplants will not be included." Bonsai seems to be included in the flowers.

While we were talking about that, we headed to the greenhouse where the orange tree broke through.

Just like universities, research facilities are large. When I walked for a while and turned around, I saw a place where trees were protruding from the building. The tree was full of fruit.

"Well, it's February, so it's not wrong if the trees are growing on trees."

The season was from October to December.

"But ..." "It's a fine tree."

The glass in the greenhouse had been removed and now it looks like it is growing from inside the building. It was quite large for an orange tree.

"So, if you cut this branch, will it pop?" "Ah! Please be careful"

When I touched the branch, he said in a hurry.

"Be careful?"

Twisting my neck and asking me, he explained what I saw yesterday. According to that, when the cut branches grow as light branches, if there is an object during the materialization, the object will be cut off.

"Can it be cut?" "Yes. At first, the glass in the greenhouse was neatly lost in the shape of a branch. The next sacrifice was my towel."

If there is an object in the way, there shouldn't be a pop in the first place ...

"It's kind of ... I was fortunate not to have an accident."

Sayama nodded a lot and said, "It's absolutely."

"Do you try to cut it down or pull it out?" "I thought, but if the same thing happened with a branch, it would be dangerous ..."

It seems that the repopulated branches were different from the original branches. As a result of pulling out, if a tree that is different from the original shape and as big as it was made, I was convinced that I could not imagine where to cut it.

(Miyoshi. Did you decide?) (Yes. But this ...)

Miyoshi has been so confused.

(What happened) (more on that later) (OK)

"But if you can't cut it down, what would you do, what did you do? I heard the story passed to the JDA and the Dungeon Agency." It's about expanding it and enclosing the whole tree. ''

"I see. But this is a great tourist resource." "Oh?" "No, it's a branch that will be resurrected right in front of you.

When I said, he had round eyes. If you look only at the phenomena, it's worthy of a miracle, to say the least.

"It's a sacred tree born from a branch brought back from a sacred grove in a sacred lake. Sasame Sayama is like Rex Nemorensis (* 1)."

Miyoshi laughed and said that Sayama was nervous with a tight face.

According to tradition, there are only two conditions for being the king of the forest. One is to bring the branch, and the other is to kill the current forest king. But now that position is vacant, he who brought Kaneda into the world might be eligible.

"Orange must be a golden symbol, a symbol of fertility and fertility, and a golden tree branch."

While looking at the golden fruit that is growing, he muttered such a thing, and Miyoshi asked even more.

"Even though it has been passed to the Dungeon Agency, it is a completely new species ... rather than an unknown creature. Why don't we have to report to the government?" "Where do we report to the government? "Is this the Ministry of the Environment?"

Miyoshi shook his head and said so.

"I don't know what kind of treatment it will be, but I'm just assured that this tree isn't in the list of specific aliens."

I cannot despise the office work. After all, there is a precedent in Shibuya Ward where Hellhound was accepted as a dog. I didn't think the Ministry of the Environment would work for a single tree.

"Well, if so, is it treated as quarantine?" "From that point of view, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries rather than the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. The plant quarantine station should be doing domestic quarantine ..."

Mr. Sayama received Miyoshi's remarks on the epidemic, and said so.

"Isn't it an important pest?" "Yes." "Are there any departments in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries that deal with exotic plants?"

It is a plant from an unknown world, not just a foreign country. In some cases it may be an invasion.

"I have a chance ..."

It seems to be the Rural Development Bureau.

“Rural Development Bureau?” “Yes. It ’s the Rural Environment Countermeasures Office in the Agriculture and Forestry Division of the Rural Policy Division.”

While saying so while smiling at the name, Sayama told me that there are various things that can be done or disappeared.

For the time being, it seems that in March 2008, a guideline for measures against invasive creatures was formulated at the time by the Rural Promotion Bureau, Planning Division, Resources Division, Rural Environment Conservation Office. It's like a pamphlet for the site, but if you find it, you can quickly remove it. At present, it seems that it was taken over by the Biodiversity Conservation Group in the Rural Environment Office.

"In terms of content, it is difficult to control all exotic plants, so if there is no damage, it is basically through."

It seems to be Ooinoufuguri and white clover. Certainly, when the numbers are so large, there will be no noticeable damage.

"So what is the government that can handle this?" "It's not at this stage"

In other words, even if the Dungeon Agency started working as a dungeon product, there is no ministry or agency that will discuss the response. However, it is not hard to imagine that there is no department that handles things outside the dungeon even if you bring it to the JDA.

"I need a department in Japan that can respond to things that have never happened."

With such a serious face, I struck me with Miyoshi or elbows.

"What are you talking about like a passionate student before you became a politician?" "It's not until you become aware that you can't do anything." "I have no dreams or hopes."

In any case, it is impossible for such an organization to be created suddenly in national politics, apart from local administration.

"I'm going to be crazy about this next generation lab if I know this."

Sayama-san said so. The Next-Generation Crop Development Research Center is developing technologies to improve productivity and add value to each department. Naturally, the development of productivity improvement technology and high value-added technology for citrus fruits seems to be one of the pillars of such research.

Sayama's cell phone rang while talking about such a story. He looked down and looked down.

"I'm going to go because I was a little called by my boss. I'd like you to see this area on your own, thank you!" "Oh, don't worry"

I didn't know what to do, but said so and waved. I asked Miyoshi when he saw him disappear and no one was around.

"And what?" "This is not a lipop."

Waiting for my line, Miyoshi cut it out.

"I guess." "Senior, where did you know?" "Well, the newly formed branch was too different from the previous one ..."

I looked up at the tree and compared the branches with the cut tree.

"And lipops don't cut out objects in real space."

Even though it was a hypothesis, I thought about it in three years, since such a situation had not been discovered. If that were to happen, the shelves in Yokohama should now be full of holes.

"In addition, if this repops, the ears of barley brought by Miyoshi may be repopped if the grain is removed."

Of course not.

"After all, lipops are part of the dungeon system." "Maybe. It's too scary to be part of the dungeon system in a place like this." "

This morning, he said so while remembering what he was talking about. If there is a monster outside of the dungeon that is part of the dungeon system, it's the same as if the whole planet were a dungeon.

Defeated monsters appear randomly. Depending on whether it is a critical section of a nuclear power plant, a critical part of ICBM control, or something else, there is no doubt that humanity could be destroyed. That's what stochastic nightmares are.

"Anyway, it's more like a repopulation than a repop." "I think it's true."

Miyoshi provided a memo that briefly wrote the test results.

-------- Aureus arbor

A hero steals from the garden of the twilight daughters, is thrown into the feast of the sea goddess' marriage, and descends from a shining golden fruited branch of the goddess taken away by a giant. As long as there is light, reason goes around the circle, and it cannot be destroyed. --------

"This guy is kind of like ..." "Dantsuk is still full of playfulness." "What does this mean in Miyoshi's appraisal, is this a dungeon item?" "No. I don't seem to know the name even if I touch it. "

So that's it. If you touch an item, you will know its name. But--

"Similar to the high refractive index liquid in the example, it could be part of an item." "Well, it's basically an orange tree branch in a dungeon. Maybe. "

Either way, Miyoshi's appraisal is growing. I'm just curious what the world looks like in his eyes, but now it's this tree.

Aureus Arbol is Latin. If you translate directly, it is a golden tree.

The twilight girls are probably Hesperides. In other words, a golden apple stolen by Hercules. The second was thrown by Ellis, and the last one must be the first part of Niebelung's ring, the second part of the early night, rather than the Nordic mythology.

At that time, apples were nouns for expressing fruits in general, and golden apples are said to be oranges.

"What about dungeons or ambrosias?" "Well, it's a descendant, so you should be aware of the effects."

The varieties that you envision are completed. I guess it's the best way to say it, but the utility of the material is immortality. It will not be extinguished, but you can see the scale. At best, it's not wrong.

"The reason for the circle is-"

It grows, blooms, and bears fruit. In other words, do you want to reproduce that routine?

"So, the thing that glows is still ..." "I'm sure it's not the sunshine."

We remembered the disappearance of a mysterious evil crystal that had occurred at NIMS (NIMS) and its surroundings. Magic crystals are clusters of high-concentration D-factors, which is where the research institutions for magic crystals are concentrated. NIMS is right there.

For the D-factor to do a miracle outside the dungeon, it will need a lot of it.

"--That's what happened because of Tsukuba?"

Miyoshi looked up at the tree and said so.

"Maybe"

Many have been taken out of dungeons. Most of the items are irrelevant, so even branches and grass may be taken out. If this phenomenon had occurred each time, it would have been a fuss long ago.

"Well, I guess one of the reasons is that my seniors were together at the time of collection." "Yeah! Is that also the effect of making? is not it"

Miyoshi says it is disturbing, but in any case, there should not be many places where high concentrations of D-factor exist on the ground. Therefore, even if grafting is performed in another place, it is unlikely that a phenomenon that will realize the wishes of the person who grafted it will occur. Without fuel, the car would not move.

"In any case, if you compare the time when the branches and trunks regenerate here and the time when the magic crystals are simultaneously reduced to light around NIMS, the relationship is obvious at a glance."

It's just a hypothesis in context, but I didn't think it was irrelevant.

"After that, how far will this effect spread?"

"Why did Sayama work hard not to spread the pollen?" "Well, to prevent this species from crossing with other citrus fruits." To this guy. And with a strong image. "

Miyoshi who understood the meaning seemed impatient enough to see sweat dripping from his forehead.

"But it's not time for flowering at all?" "Speaking of the only salvation, salvation ..." "What?"

"Do you consider such a D-factor?"

Miyoshi looked up at a tree that was growing hard, crossing arms with a difficult face. The cold wind shook it slightly, and the long shadow created by the sun, which was much lower, danced with it.

"in addition--"

I said while spreading my hand towards the tree, which seemed to become a big tree overnight.

"-Tsukuba has too many evil crystals."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

There are several tangerine gardens around Mt. Tsukuba, about 10 km north of the National Agricultural Research Organization. Ibaraki, especially around Tsukuba, is the northern limit of tangerine cultivation, and tangerine cultivation has been active on the west side of Mt. Tsukuba for a long time.

The field was located at an altitude of 150m and a warm slope in Mt. Tsukuba. As usual, a man driving on a mountain slope road noticed that something orange was stuck on the tree in his field.

"what?"

There are many numbers even if someone mischiefs. The man rushed his car into the field, but as he approached, rubbing his eyes frequently, as if his eyes had gone crazy.

"what's this?"

The main orange varieties in this area are shrubs of Wenzhou oranges and tall, locally grown varieties of oranges. The season is usually from October to December. Some plantations are planting nearly 20 varieties, but this is February. Either way, the season was over.

"What is this ?!"

The man screamed while watching the mandarin oranges, which are growing closely on the tree in his field.
