Three years after D Genesis Dungeon
§ 126 Prologue
-------- 1. Sawkill Rd, Kingston, NY on Sunday, January 13th, 2019 --------
In NY, the coldest season of the year is mid-January. On the second floor of a house near St. Anne's Cemetery on the way to Woodstock from Lake Katrine along the Hudson River to Woodstock, David-McNamara was listening to a laptop hard disk activating the OS. Skype announces the arrival of the message when he wants to make a good SSD.
"High, Dave. It's hard!"
It was a message from Paul, a team planning a major off-going search for D-Card features this time in NY.
David grabbed the Jabra Evolve 80 on the desk and put it on, switching to video calling. I bought a headset that was pulled by active noise canceling, but I realized after purchasing that there was no noise around his house. When it was actually used, it seemed that the operating sound of the air conditioner and the sound of the PC fan had been reduced. He was, however, satisfied with the feature and liked it. Including a busy light that has only you to see in the window glass.
"What happened?" "I just got an incredible email." "Who is it?" "I'm surprised to hear it, from The Wiseman, Azamiyoshi."
When he hears it, David's mouse holds his power.
"Yeah! What is it? No way to participate in the next off ..." "No, it wouldn't be possible," "What's sorry. What happened?"
"If you are very interested in our event and the number of people is going to be large, Azusa's company can secure a venue" "Huh? Why?" "Well, I do not know the number So, it's a bit far from Breezy Point, but I was asked if I would like to go to the Javits Center.
The Javits Center is the largest exhibition hall in NY. Among Otaku, the NY Comic Con venue is easy to understand. It's the US version of Comiket, a pop culture festival. Comic Con has also been exported to Japan and will be held again this year at the Messe 9-11 on November 22-24. To appeal to computer stakeholders, the owner of the Silicon Valley Comic Con is Steve Wozniak. Well, it is such an event.
"Is it a prime location? Did you request anything as a sponsor?" "No, I didn't have any business-like demands like selling. I just rent out a device to be released at Azusa's company, "I want you to see it." "A device released at her company? Is it a status measurement device?"
Surprised, David stood up and dropped out of the video frame. Paul smiled bitterly at his excitement as he walked left and right like a bear. As a gamer, his headset is still wired. Not many will be able to move.
"Maybe it's probably the world's first lending?"
David raised his concerns as he leaned closer to the camera and pushed his right index and middle finger toward the camera.
"At first, nothing has even started selling. What would you do if there was a guy who disassembled and examined the equipment?" "Well, maybe?"
David sat back in his chair as if convinced.
"But you're excited? Do you want to know your status?" "Well, I want to know." "Now. I would be grateful if you could go through the comparison and measure. "" Oh, how would your status be when you party? "
Among the parties announced at the Haven Leaks, there was a + 5% status correction when the party was set up. However, the fact was not proved numerically, and even if the number of ordinary searchers increased by 5%, the effect was not well understood, so the emphasis was not so great.
"Yes, I guess. I'd like to get some comparison information from different states. It would take a bit of time to enter what kind of state, so someone who can help me get the hotel bill at Azusa's company. "That's" "What? NY? It's too much for the questionnaire to take care of the hotel. Is it a bit suspicious?"
David wrinkled in his forehead with his arm crossed with a difficult face.
"She seems to have a lot of that kind of business because her company was created to support those who challenge the dungeon's secrets."
He left the pose in a stunned face.
"Huh. Is that going to be a business?" "Isn't it a part of branding rather than a business? Well, I wrote that I wanted to give back to the US because I took care of Simon and others." No, isn't Simon's team at Yoyogi right now? "" It's not just Simon. It seems that almost all the top teams in the world are at Yoyogi. It is rumored that private salmon and witches are also Yoyogi. It's the first event since the dungeon was made. "
Paul laughed that I wanted to go too.
"Well, if it's such a request, and you're going to help, it's a help, but I'd like to ask ... but then I want the result somehow." "It's the luck of the time, so feel free to do it. At first it was written that you could enjoy the dungeon. "" Oh, I don't know. "
"But if the accommodation costs are free, the number of applicants is likely to increase dramatically, but how do you handle personal information?"
The measurement is part of the experiment anyway. There is no problem cooperating, and it would be a welcome story for those who come here on their own. However, the quantified status data can be important personal information. It is natural to be careful in handling. After all, this is a litigation powerhouse.
"It seems that the data we collect isn't tied to a particular individual. It's probably no problem." "But how do you judge that they are the same person?" "They will send you a tag. You just need to wear that tag and go through the device gate." "Sorry. I don't even need it. The number of tags is the number of people who bring the hotel fee. "" Yes. There is no problem if it is about 1000 rooms, so please join us. " !? "
"When I stayed in a Mandarin suite, I was told I was self-sufficient."
Paul said with a laugh.
"That's right ... that would be OK if it wasn't a suite?" "Well, that's what. At least $ 800."
NY has a high price. High end hotels usually have a low line of $ 600. There are some cheap hotels, but in terms of service, please ask.
"... I'm going to lay down this thing. Azusa is going to be furious if I fill up 1000 rooms for Waldorf Astoria, New York Palace, Four Seasons, Pierre a Taj."
The challenge of booking a luxury hotel is the privilege granted only to heroes who are willing to pay for themselves when they need to.
"Well," "Okay, decide on an experiment plan and recruit measurement cooperators immediately. Indeed, transportation expenses are impossible, but we will advertise that the venue and accommodation fee will be provided by Wiseman." Then, I'll transfer the money, so let me know a quote other than the venue. "" I understand. It's a little more than a month. It's getting fun! "
I ended the call, took off my headset, and approached the window and looked out, as if to cool my excitement.
I was worried about renting it around WeWork, so I was worried about how to reduce the number of people, but with Javits it's perfectly fine to go over a thousand. Watching the sunset dye the sky and cemetery orange, he began to think seriously about what experiment to do.
-------- 2.YYG Dungeon level.32, Tokyo on Sunday, January 27th, 2019 --------
Down the stairs of the 31st floor was a giant tree that looked as if life itself was spreading its arms. The stairs led to the tree's back.
"Wow, what? here"
Nathalie, who came out of Uro, looked around and looked around. It was a land covered with short undergrowth, and glowing flower-like things bloomed here and there.
"Is this ... oak? 』
Simon said, looking up at the tree he had just come out of.
`` And mistletoe is entangled closely ''
Joshua said he saw a round bonnet sticking around the branches.
"This is the kind of atmosphere that the king of the forest is likely to come out of."
"what is that? "Fraser. Is this the sanctuary of Diana Nemorensis? Look, there's also a mirror of Diana! "
At the point where Nathalie points, something like the surface of the water was shining in the light of stars and flowers.
"In any case, the air is a bit different"
Simon looked around and said so. In the surroundings, explorers from various countries came down one after another, and each day looked around.
"It's really like that." Joshua asked Simon. " "You saw Leaks? He's out of the Isle of Man dungeon "" ... A safe area? 』
Simon put her index finger in her mouth toward Joshua. It's a sign that other people will hear you. Upon hearing that, Nathalie agreed.
"That's exactly what it looks like"
"And if this is it," "Place battle" "Hey, this is Japan?" "Yoyogi is public, so it's where we win first. That's about Japan. We'll secure it for no good. "
The Simon team started quickly.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"The US team has begun action." "They seem to have felt so."
Kato answered the words of Kaiba. People from other countries seemed to be following suit.
"But territorial claims will be difficult. No way, you can't bring the resources to build a base here."
After all, all but forgotten, the non-SDF teams came to rescue Team I. Nobody would have imagined that such a place could be found by extension.
"If you can still claim that it is an unexplored area, you can claim some rights."
Iori affirmed that, but inferred what they would argue in the future.
"That's why?" "I'm going to reduce the unexplored area before the guys. The number of people is the largest." It's a good work for us .... Well, this is also a painful place to serve the palace. "
Team I, while examining the lamentations, began working together to crush the unexplored area.
--------3.TV tabloid show in Japan on Monday, January 28th, 2019 --------
The day after Yoshimura and Miyoshi were transferred back from the 31st floor and returned, the morning wide show was a topic.
"In the studio, we invite Serina Takada, who won the amazing record at the 38th Osaka International Women's Marathon held yesterday. Congratulations on Serina's victory." Serina is still a 21-year-old college student, but it was an incredible time. "" Osaka International is one of the fastest courses in the world that is flat and easy to run, but it was a bit too much. "
Serina was a little confused and said a little with her tongue out. The caster nodded at it and took out the flip.
"Now let's share the current women's marathon record with TV viewers."
Then, after being introduced with a simple explanation in order from the 10th place, the casters were peeled off in order from the 3rd place, which was turned over.
"That's the second place! That's the world record until yesterday. 2 hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds! This record is more than 1 minute and 30 seconds away from the previous 2nd place, and it is in the current marathon situation that has become faster It was a record that hasn't been broken for 15 years! "
An exclamation voice leaks from the studio.
"And the first place is, of course, the record made by Rina Serena yesterday. What a time, 2 hours, 14 minutes, 18 seconds. Okay, everyone reduced this big record by more than a minute!" I was surprised. "
When Serina said so, the caster rushed in and laughed at what you didn't say.
"No, I'm really surprised."
"Serina's personal best so far is 2 hours, 22 minutes and 31 seconds, so it has been shortened almost 8 minutes or more. It seems that doping etc was suspected while being rude-" "It can not be helped. I don't think there is any medicine that can shorten a record by eight minutes at once. "
A laughter occurs in the studio.
"Eight minutes sounds like a trivial thing, but it's 480 seconds on a 42.195-kilometer journey, so every 100m you need to shorten it by more than one second."
The studio was once again shrouded in exclamation.
"It's not usually possible. What was the cause? The Force awakened?" "Maybe. If you were in Osaka as planned the day before, it's probably in the 23 minutes range or at most the 22 minutes range. I think it was "
A caster caught a moment at Serina who said something strange.
"What? What do you mean? Rina Serena, who was absent from the first roll call, heard that it was late at night when she was in Osaka. "Yes, there was a business in Tokyo that I couldn't remove, so I was asking me to ask the Federation, but I was fortunate enough to have accepted it. Fortunately, the Federation was happy, because it's a world record that's just off the shelf. "
The caster was joking, and the studio again laughed.
"But I'm worried about important events that will be weighed against international competitions."
A quick glance at the sleeve of the stage revealed that the AD was holding a flip with the word "thrust in."
"There seems to be information that I was walking with Masato Fuwa the day before, but is there really a date with my boyfriend !?"
Twenty-year-old Masato Fuwa is a new long-distance runner who belongs to the same university as Serina Takada.
"I don't mean I'll shake the tournament for that reason. I'm not my first boyfriend. Fuwa-kun just happened to be the same--" "Huh? "What is it?" "Yes. I was in Tokyo on the same errand." "Yes? What kind of--" "It's his success at the Beppu Oita Mainichi Marathon this weekend." Wait and let's wait. ''
The Beppu Oita Mainichi Marathon is often referred to as the “gateway for newcomers”. Like Osaka International, this race qualifies for participation in the MGC (Marathon Grand Championship; Tokyo Olympics). It is. The casters were so avoidable that they couldn't rush.
"Let's look forward to the weekend. Is it OK, everyone, beloved Masato Fuwa of the Beppu Oita Mainichi Marathon!"
The casters repartitioned and turned to the next topic.
"Anyway, we have the right to compete in the Grand Prix of the Tokyo Olympics. We have Doha at the same time ..." "It's yesterday, so I want to think slowly. "I think so. Thank you very much for today." "Thank you for your support again."
It is known that the irreplaceable thing she said was the boot camp held in Yoyogi on the 26th at the Beppu Oita Mainichi Marathon on February 3rd. This is after a goal of an amazing world record of 2 hours 0 minutes 43 seconds.
