Three years after D Genesis Dungeon

"Hello, my name is Sayama. Thank you for this time."

With that said, it was a scholarly man who offered his hand, wearing glasses with a slightly dull skin.

"I'm Yoshimura. This is Miyoshi, a party member. Thank you very much."

Just two days after the Agricultural Research Institute researchers came to the agreement, as requested by the Commerce Department for hate management the other day. After the training on the 7th, the WDA card seems to be a forced march, two days later tomorrow, receiving it in reserve and leaving.

After all, the guest is a complete beginner and middle-aged. No matter how hard you work up to 21 layers, it will take two days. At least 4 days round trip. If you do poorly, it will take longer.

"First of all, check the contract details-"

A provisional contract for the nomination request is signed between the JDA and the client. JDA has a standard formula, but if there is a problematic amount, it will be decided upon consultation. In fact, this time, it was a contract with a direct meeting.

"The terms of the contract are to take one researcher as safely as possible to the 21st floor, where he will be brought back to the ground after the activity, and to provide general food and shelter during his stay in the dungeon. Are you sure? "Yes" "By the way, what is activity?" "The main task is to bring back the branches of the tree that I got." "Branches?" "Yes. Too strange citrus That's why I decided to cut it in the Fruit Tree Tea Research Division. ''

I looked at Mr. Naruse and confirmed whether it was a permissible JDA act. She nodded at me and told me that the JDA had allowed it.

"I see. Well, I don't want to expect treatment like a hotel or inn in the dungeon, but I guarantee the treatment of a standard explorer."

Sayama nervously pushed up the bridge of the glasses and took my heart straight, blinking, as my words were added with a light paste to relieve tension.

"Thank you"

This request is a so-called escort request. In other words, we do our job to ensure the security of our way and do not touch his research or work. In the past, the boundaries seemed to be ambiguous, but it seems that no-touch is the basis after troubles concerning research. Of course, if you have a request for help, that's not the case.

"Then, please sign here."

I gave him the documents I received from Miyoshi.

"What is this?" "This is NDA. The information we see and hear during this exploration is confidential." "Confidentiality?" "For example, she used magic."

I pointed Miyoshi at my palm.

"Eh?" "You can't tell anyone that she used the magic."

Investigators' skills and behaviors tend to be concealed. Nobody wants trump cards to be known to others. Especially when it comes to life.

"What if I told you?" "If the activity was hindered, the amount of compensation would be the same as our income for the past year." "Eh? One year?" "Yes. This is a problem related to the entire search activity after that, but I was hesitant to claim a reduction in annual salary, and it was difficult to calculate, so I was fine with one year's worth. "" In the case of already known facts? "For example, it is a known fact that she has an appraisal, so that information is outside the scope of the NDA. However, please note that the details of the appraisal are included in the NDA." "

Sayama did not intend to give such a story to anyone else, and he vaguely thought and signed that it would be at most about 10 million. I never dreamed that the revenue of a single party over the past year would be, for the present, limited to Bahrain's revenue.

When the NDA was concluded, Naruse took over.

"So, what about the commission fee?" "Eh? I've been talking to the Commerce Department about the standard price of JDA." The standard price of annual income is the standard price-"

Naruse explained so. However, depending on the request, various treatments may be provided, and on the contrary, it may be cheaper. It is just a guide.

"I'm asking you." "However, if there is a problem with the amount, it's a normal procedure to decide each other at the time of the contract." "Problem? Does it mean that you need plus alpha?"

Sayama looked back at his request and asked. Anyway, it is a job to safely send beginners who are completely empty to the 21st layer, which was called deep until recently. It is no wonder that there is an extra risk.

"Mr. Sayama. D-Powers' daily income over the past year is roughly 1.2 to 1.3 billion yen."

Sayama doubted his ear. 1.2 billion daily? Neither the Iraqi Dinar nor the Somali Shilling is a very affordable amount, even if it is Bolivar's rave descent. If it were true, then, he recalled the contents of the NDA we had just exchanged.

"Wait a minute, so what was the NDA penalty ..." "It's a little over 450 billion yen."

Sayama solidified with his eyes on it.

"Well, that's not a problem as long as you keep confidentiality, so it's safe to say that I can't afford a standard price request ..." What is the average of explorers who can do it? "" Yes. At the party level, is the minimum line per day about 200,000 yen? "

Assuming that it operates 20 days a month, 200,000 a day means a monthly income of 4 million. It sounds like a lot of money, but a six-person party would only cost about 660,000 per person, making it cheap for explorers who could exceed 20 layers.

Sayama was panicked by the amount. If expenses are included, there is a possibility that it will exceed 1 million at all costs.

"Cho, I'll contact my boss for a while and check it out, can you wait a little?" "Yes. I can't use mobile phones in the conference room, so please go to the lobby."

Sayama then left the room sweating.

Then I looked at him and told Naruse-san.

"Mr. Naruse. Can he dive as it is? I have to prepare at least a beginner set ..." "Will Yoshimura say that?"

She smiled involuntarily. Certainly, it was myself that I was dancing casually in everyday clothes, but that was when I did not know much about the dungeon, because I only went to one layer that was not so dangerous. However, if the armor was poor compared to the floor in the second floor and beyond, there were so many nostalgic explorers who would open up the kindness and we were also preached a lot by advice. Despite a 21-layer destination, no armor is enough to ignite the explorer's messy heart.

"In the escort request, there is no rule on the clothes to be escorted. If you are injured because of it, you are at your own risk." "It is surprisingly severe." "Because you did not prepare to go to the dangerous zone If you're injured, you're usually at your own risk. ''

If you get out of your car and get attacked by a lion at Safari Park, you won't be able to cover the park if you take responsibility.

At that time, a running noise approached from outside the room.

"Is it not early to come back?"

At the moment Miyoshi said that, the door opened vigorously, and an energetic man, who cut his redhead hair casually, jumped in.

"Hey, it looks like it was in time."

"Eh, Robin Williams?"

Looking at the man's face, Miyoshi inadvertently spilled. Certainly similar. But you've seen more similar portraits.

"Or rather, this is that great mathematician." "Oh!", "Gauss!"

Miyoshi and Miyoshi looked away and said so. Yes, his face was very similar to Gauss by Christian Albrecht Jensen. Although the hairstyle was different.

"Gauss? Isn't it a planet monster? ""monster? ""that? I was playing crunch rolls until last year, isn't that a Tokusatsu in Japan? 』

Research institution? It's time to check Tokusatsu with crunch rolls ... (* 2)

"No, we said to mathematicians ..." "It's an honor. I guess it may be a bit similar. "" Mr. Argyle. Rather than say hello, what are you doing without knocking? '

The man who jumped in and smiled with no smile seemed to be able to do something from behind, and a tall woman in a chic and monotone style appeared, embarking on his actions.

"Oh, this is rude. Ah, I'm Nathan Argyle. Is this the room used for D Powers meetings? 』

"Nathan-Argyle ..."

Naruse opened his eyes astonishingly and came out in front of him.

"I'm sorry, are you a DFA Dr. Argyle? ""That's it. You are? "I'm Miharu Naruse of JDA. I have a full-time director of D Powers. I heard that Dr. was coming to Japan, but why here? 』

When a big WDA visits Japan, it is usually the International Cooperation Division that deals with it. This section is under the Dungeon Management Department, and its main task is to communicate and coordinate with the WDA.

"If you're in the wrong place, I'll guide you to the International Cooperation Division." "No, my purpose is here. I heard from Demir, is he talking about nominating D Powers here today? I'm going to get the oranges on the 21st floor. "

When I muttered, "Demiru?" Naruse added, "Mr. Demil-Anderson is the director of the International Cooperation Division."

"Sure, but I don't know exactly where he is here." We're gonna take a piggyback ride, too. " 』

"Hey, Miyoshi. Didn't you say you're going to piggyback now?" "It's strange, my senior. I heard that too."

"Please wait, Doctor. Currently, we are in the middle of a nomination request contract. Even if you say piggybacking ... "" Don't say anything hard. Just a little! 』

He makes a small gap with his thumb and forefinger and poses a little in front of him.

"Somehow, it's like a very freedom person." "I've been able to become a great WDA person with this slack ..."

"I'm usually a decent person, but this time I'm flying a little"

The woman who was following him, as if to hear our story, said so quickly.

"Eh, Japanese is-"

Oops. I can't say anything wrong. I mean, there are surprisingly many people who say Asha and speak Japanese.

"It was so rude. I'm Keigo Yoshimura from D Powers. She is Azusa Miyoshi. Wiseman is more famous, but he said, "Wow, we know the reputation. I am Silkley Subway. I am an assistant to Dr.

When was your name? Indeed Wiseman. The name seems to resonate with the WDA. While Naruse and Dr. were in a subtle interaction, we were receiving an explanation from Mr. Silkley about why he came to Japan this time.

"So, did you read that report? ""Yes. At first I thought what a delusion. " We too were close to us and we couldn't believe it until it happened. Even so, the response was quick. "" It's because you were the submitter. "

Silkley said so with a serious face. According to her, it is an astonishing report submitted by a party with the world's only appraiser, and the evidence is present in Yoyogi. The impact of this on the world was likely to be enormous, and it would have been necessary to see evidence immediately.

"It seems that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), who has already overheard the report, is of great interest, and it is a secret, but urgent need for confirmation."

"It's going to be great again ..." "I was expecting it, but I'm excited when it comes to reality."

"So, did you come to check the farm? 』

Dr. Argyle heard the words and looked back while talking to Naruse-san.

"That's it. Is that crazy farm on two layers of yoyogi? Of course I came to see it. '

He said so with a loud gesture that seemed to be so.

"After seeing your application, I just wanted to jump on the plane anyway, but it was a takeover, there was a tough watchdog. Anyway, I left in the shortest time, but when I arrived at Narita, it was still 15:00. "" When I contacted the JDA while sleeping and dying due to jet lag, you were on the next day-today! I heard that you would sign a contract to cut off the sacred grove near the lake of Nemi (* 3). This was an abuse of authority, and I had to piggyback! "Abuse of authority ..." "Mr. Argyle is honest." But aren't we going to be fugitive slaves and kill the forest king? "What is the secret of the world waiting there? 』

He then winked a little to share the secret.

"If you come to check the wheat, it's not that interesting as a DFA that oranges have appeared."

Anyway, he said, after confirming the in-kind, he would like to tentatively recognize the patent and release it immediately.

"This is going to be amazing"

He glanced up in the air, excitedly, and seized his fist.

"Apart from the patent, we are worried about the turmoil in the futures market regarding wheat fields. "Say the idiot. Before the fact that poverty from the world could at least disappear on the diet, did we know what the markets bourgeois were playing in circulation? " ! are you sure? ! 』

Is this person an anarchist or something? The futures market is essentially a hedging market. In view of the high prices of the current grain market, many must buy in the futures market. If this information causes grain prices to plunge, those people will suffer huge losses-

"If you're managing futures for the right risk hedging, it doesn't matter whether you go up or down. Is that the nature of risk hedging? 』

――That's right, if you say. Unless you want to make money, isn't it just a risk of upside, just wasting your insurance bill? I'm starting to feel like that.

"Well, I don't know how to take those other than risk hedging.

...... I feel that resentment power and execution power are greater in that direction.

"In fact, the food on earth is made enough to cover all humanity when it comes to grain. But the problem is uneven distribution. What is FAO's report? "No, it's embarrassing." Many people in the world are the same as you, and I will not look at such reports. '

According to what he said, the world will see biofuels feedstock growth in addition to growing food and feed demand due to the continually growing population and rising income levels, especially in developing countries. As demand increases, demand will continue to exceed supply and food prices will remain high. And while production is expected to grow in all regions, it is likely that consumption will be slower in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

"As a result, net imports in Asia, Africa and the Middle East will expand, and the tendency for food to become unevenly distributed will increase. So this is it. "

He received the folded paper from Silkley and spread it on the desk.

"this is? 』

Expanded there was a world map.

"The red cross is the position of the primary dungeon, which is known all over the world."

Dungeons around the world are said to have emerged in almost a day. Those dungeons were called primary dungeons for convenience. Otherwise, dungeons that increase by several per year are called secondary dungeons accordingly.

The primary dungeon was scattered around 35-40 degrees north latitude, and spread in both poles as the area ID increased. Even more mysteriously, they are arranged to avoid areas with no people. Although it may not have been found just because there are no people, the expedition team who thought and searched for it is almost zero even after three years.

"It is strange that there are many Japan in this way"

He said with his fingers following the 35th parallel north of the Pacific Ocean towards Japan.

"It's almost like something that makes a dungeon across the Pacific collides with Japan and splits north and south."

When he hit Japan, he followed the Japanese archipelago south and proceeded to Southeast Asia. Then, he drew a circle with his finger in East Asia, where the number of dungeons found was very small compared to its area.

"And the blue cross is the secondary dungeon. Strangely, the secondary dungeon is on the side of the giant primary dungeon, otherwise it is--

He pointed to the Sahel region. It had four blue crosses, including the Dark Koi Dungeon, which recently became a hot topic.

"--I can often do it in poor areas"

Certainly, blue crosses are scattered in the world's poor areas.

"It's like a dungeon made it for this discovery."

He said he didn't know if he was joking or serious. Naruse who heard it broke into the doctor's story.

"wait a minute. Dr. D Powers came to Japan to check the wheat field on the second floor of Yoyogi to investigate the patent submitted by D Powers. "" Well, that's right, "" It was a very interesting story. Isn't it unrelated to work? "Directly, right." "Take the story there. I'm currently contracting for a nomination request. "

With that in mind, Naruse looked at the entrance and saw Mr. Sayama standing there.

"He? "I am the original client of this time. In the style of Dr. Argyle, he is a fugitive slave '

Miyoshi explained to him so.

"Eh, um.

Sayama said sorryly.

"I'm under contract with Mr. Sayama. It's okay because these people are in the way."

Naruse made a remark to the WDA tycoon. She can understand Japanese and is a little worried that it will not matter later.

"That's what I discussed with my boss ..." "What happened?" "It's difficult to spend more than 100,000 yen a day."

After all it is the end of the year. Apparently the budget is scarce.

"For that amount, the request for escort from the 20th layer to the future is probably without an undertaker ..." "Yes ... even if I rebuilt it at private expense for the time being ..."

"What a convenient story! Oh no ... this is a heavenly distribution! 』

The doctor, who had asked Mr. Silkley to translate the situation, suddenly broke into the story. Naruse-san expressed his blame with too much abrupt eyebrows.

"Dr. Argyle ..." "Don't look so sober, Miharu. I've heard the story of that man-you, what's your name? ""e? Me? 』

Suddenly asked for his name, Mr. Sayama, who was impatient, bit a bit.

"I'm Shigeru Shayama." Sigel, I'm Nathan Argyle. Thank you for this time! "What? nice to meet you? "Is it troubled by the request fee? If you have a joint request with me, I will have the request fee here. If you're an explorer who can go up to level 20, what would it cost you between $ 3500 and $ 4000 per day? 』

Uo, truly America. Is the price about twice the lowest line of the standard price?

"Eh, that helps, but ... what are the conditions? "What's going on later is us. At the end you may have a couple of layers, but if you don't like it, you can go back first. "

Looking at them, I sighed lightly and confirmed with Miyoshi.

"Miyoshi, do you have an English version of NDA?" "Once you have to print it out, but you can print it." "It's okay ... but I'm really sorry." And it seems like we can get together and there is no help for it. "" It's a very irregular story, so I think we can refuse it ... "

Naruse-san told me, and I glanced at the men negotiating there.

"Even if you refuse here, it seems that you will abuse your authority and push the request. Well, one lending to JDA" "Isn't it a good idea to keep this in mind?" "It's obvious at first glance, but I don't think ordinary staffers will appreciate it." "Mm. It doesn't seem to matter to my job. ''

While listening to our exchanges, she smiled and asked her to output the data of the NDA document given by Miyoshi to the printer in the section and have it delivered.

Later, when it arrived, he signed without reading the text. Her assistant, she complained, checked the text, and when asked for the exact amount of the compensation, she reinforced her again.

"Mr. Argyle. Never slip even your colleagues! If you do that, it's not enough even if our budget goes to zero! 』

He was nodded at her terrible sword curtain, which was usually quiet.
