Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Lesson 715: Who's in Charge?

The giant plants that suddenly appeared in the industrial section of [Wadatsumi] were instantly suppressed by the Knights Combat Team, the faces of the [Shiratori], and the four players rushed from the sky. After that, the Knights' rear support units arrived, and city manager Wadatsumi launched a work NPC, working together to remove rubble and restore buildings.

"Therefore, please be assured that the current situation is already on the way to restoration, and even if the base is destroyed, the damage will be fully compensated based on the city's database."

At the corner of the baseline, on a suddenly built stage in a square that is usually used as an event venue, Ledge with a microphone explains. Next to it is Ai, the deputy head of the Knights' delegation, and Wadatsumi, the city's manager.

Ledge and Ai in particular held a meeting to explain the end of the turmoil to the players on the stage.

"Is that Ledge..."

Falling into the crowd, the maple sees a man standing on the stage. I've already seen that Toka was kind, but there's something about that behavior and behavior that I can't read.

Maple sees this meeting as a good opportunity to measure whether he is a worthy friend of his daughter.

“Now, I'm going to take your questions. If you have any questions, please raise your hand and allow me to speak.”

As soon as the Knights of the MC were announced, countless hands rose from the crowd. There were also many broadcast and news bands specializing in live broadcasting at the press conference, and they were taking notes while raising their hands in earnest.

Well then, the Fairy in the front row.

"Thank you. My name is Tonzen Kannosuke of Next Wild Horse."

This disturbance occurred inside a city that was supposed to be safe, but why did protozoa appear in non-combat zones? ”

The type who stands up, grabs the handed microphone and asks a question - a fairy man. He is answered by a small girl, Wadatsumi, who arrived with a blue dress.

"Hmm. That point is also being investigated. However, the existence of that giant plant-type aptitude has been confirmed only on a genetic basis. It was definitely present on this planet, but now it is judged to be a primordial protozoan, a protozoan organism that should not have existed anymore.”

The crowd is troubled by Wadatsumi's explanation. Maples don't really know what it means, so they have to tilt their necks.

Immediately, several hands rise and the moderator hands the microphone to one of them.

Isn't a primitive native organism a new species that hasn't been discovered before?

No, that plant, which on record is called the Flower Eroding Demon Tree, can't survive under the current planet Izanami.

Can't survive?

Because primitive protozoa only survived in more unstable environments during terraforming by the Zero Advance Survey and Reclamation Corps.

Primordial Protozoa, Terraforming, Zero Period Preliminary Exploration Corps. None of these words are familiar to Maples. Fufu seems to know something, and his eyes are rounded by Wadazumi's words.

"Isn't this disturbance based on the plants grown by Mr. Ledge?" Does that mean that Mr. Ledge created a primitive organism? "

"I don't know that either." I just kept on mating for a plant with a strong venom. "

On behalf of Wadazumi, Ledge will respond this time.

But he did not even know why the plant had gone rampant, that it was called a primitive creature, and he was not confident in his voice.

What kind of plants did Ledge develop in the first place?

"It was originally the 76th generation of poisonous plants." I didn't give it a name. It moves around quite aggressively under atmospheric pressure, but it becomes normal if it is sedated or placed at 56 atm. The poison that can be extracted is a trace amount, but it is 1.065 times more potent than the current strongest plant poison. ”

Do you actively move in a normal pressure environment?

"It's 56 atmospheres..."

"In the first place, there was such a facility at Ledge's farm..."

Once again, people are dumbfounded by Ledge's stubborn explanation.

The seventy-sixth-generation plants he was growing seemed to have surpassed their expectations. It was refreshing for the maple.

"Why did you transfer it to the Knights?" Couldn't the Knights have managed it properly? "

“The Knights were developing powerful poisons for their assault. As part of this, we received a prototype from Mr. Ledge for research. On the fourth test farm, we were studying how to efficiently extract toxic fractions from the plants.”

Eye grabs the microphone and answers the question.

Although his expression was oozing with fatigue, he was fulfilling his responsibilities as deputy commander.

“At the fourth test farm, we prepared an environment of 56 atm as instructed by Ledge, and we also planted the sedatives in sufficient quantities. We don't know why that plant got so big.”

This disturbance was unexpected for the Knights of Ai, for Ledge, and for Wadatsumi.

Ledge thought he already had a chance of a safe cultivation method, and the Knights' Cultivation Division was loyal to it. As a guardian of the safety of the city, Wadatsumi monitors all logistics.

"The scene turned into a pile of rubble so that we could find out the cause. Of course, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation as much as I can, and I have asked Wadakumi to look up information on the plants growing on our farm. Why primitive protozoa were born depends on the results of those investigations.”

What Ledge said on behalf of the two neighbors was that everything was not clear at the moment. Reconstruction work and surveys are still in parallel, and there is a fatal lack of information.

“So, who else has a question?”

Yes!

Your hand is raised and your microphone is handed over.

Looking at the player who stood up, Maple leaned over. It was a girl with long red hair and stretched rabbit ears, a castle-shaped lycanthrope.

"This is Letty from [White Deer Anvil]." I have one question for Mr. Ledge. "

"Huh!? Well, what is it...?"

I didn't expect my body to appear, and Ledge started to wander. Regardless of his reaction, Letty cut out the question.

I think the last tent containing that flower was quite well prepared, but didn't you expect this to happen?

Huh?

It was a sharp question. The players sitting around Letty nodded.

A few minutes after the plant runaway, Ledge activated the DAF system and carried out a suicide bombing attack with 90 drones. The greatly weakened plants were enclosed inside a tent called the "hexagon" developed by Ledge, and are now under the strict control of Wadazumi.

Exactly from the third party's point of view, Ledge was prepared as if it had anticipated this situation.

"No, that's it..." No, that's right... "

Ledges that get dull in the blink of an eye. While receiving a sharp gaze from Letty, he spoke about the situation as if he had a vision.

"I'm trying to bring native creatures from all over the world alive and bring them to the farm..."

Huh?

What's that?!

Ledge dropped her shoulders and talked, while Eye and Wadazumi, who were standing next to each other, and the players in the Lettie's seats screamed. Asked for further explanations, Ledge started talking to them.

"Well... recently, we've been experimenting with combining drop items from native organisms from all over the world into fertilizer..." I thought it might be better if it was more organic or fresh... Specifically, the hum... as compost... yes... "

Ledge's voice is getting smaller and smaller.

Everyone who was here thought so.

"What are you doing, this guy..."

Maple trees say in horror.

The old man who was dying in front of him had no < training > skill, but only a < camping > skill to capture Enemies. Even the less-played Maple can see how sudden this action can be.

I see (Indeed), I see.

At that time, Wadazumi shouted heavily.

She opens her mouth as attention gathers.

The parallel computation of the central computing device of each city and the Takamagahara of the amaterasu, the pioneering command ship, has revealed the cause of this incident.

The crowd is screaming.

Even during this press conference, [Kusanagi], the main body of Wadatsumi, was in full operation in order to find out the cause of the incident. In addition, with the cooperation of other administrators such as Susanoo and Wade, as well as the higher computing device, Takamagahara, she derived a hypothesis.

The plants that Ledge was mating with probably gained the ability to hold genetic information in a powerful way in the process of complex multiplication of many kinds of things. There, genes from various enemies from all over the country were mixed together in various places, which should not have been mixed originally.

As a result, the ancient memory, which existed as a very limited fragment, woke up as if the pieces of the puzzle fitted together.

On the farm of the Knights of the Eagle, Mr. Ledge's farm doors seemed to grow differently in large quantities, so the genes of the primitive organisms became stronger in the process.

A hypothesis spoken from the mouth of a wadazumi.

The planet's best mathematical controllers, the commanders, have ejected a highly reliable weapon.

That's why the Ledges believe it and can't hide their surprises.

Primitive native beings are a generic term for the species that once existed on this planet. They were destroyed by environmental changes, but their genes have been linked to cotton in the protozoa of this world.

Fragments that I would never have met again have met in the hands of a single man.

As a result of miracles and a little madness, those huge, beautiful red flowers bloomed.

“Mr. Ledge, do you have anything to say?”

Nikoniko and Letty asked.

Ledge quietly poked her knee and lowered her head with her three fingers aligned.

“I'm really, really sorry.”
