We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene: 95 General Supermarket

I went back to Elena.

"Kojiro, have you defeated the Guardian?"

Kawai found me first and raised his voice.

"Oh, I've got the talisman."

I handed out the talisman to everyone.We should not be attacked by poisonous worms.Misaki wears a protective talisman and enters the poison ward.I nodded as I saw a big bee and squid running away.

"Looks like it's okay. Is Elena going somewhere?"

After Elena leaned her head and thought,

"I want paper products."

Toilet paper and various paper products and necessities are lacking in Higashikami Town.There are some toilet paper made in "Heart Stone Processing", but there is an overall shortage.

The poisonous worm district has not yet been recovered from any supermarkets or stores.Because there were too many poisonous worms, and most people died without escape.

I told everyone that I had acquired "subspace" and that I had reached level max.

"This will allow us to collect large quantities of supplies."

Misaki was pleased. The poisonous worm district had a lot of leftover merchandise left.

We went to a general supermarket called "Geon" in the poisonous worm district.It's a name that seems to appear in animated robots, but it's a decent big supermarket.

A three-storey building, the first floor consisted of groceries and daily groceries, and the second floor consisted of a 100-yen shop and shops such as clothes, shoes, and bags.We looked around the first floor.

Grains were collected mainly from preserved foods such as canned food.Collect daily groceries at hand and I'll throw them into subspace.Kawai is worried in front of the sweets corner.

"Kojiro, do you think chocolate is okay?"

The gaze of the river is on the chocolate board.It is chocolate that has been going on for more than a year.

"If it's chocolate like a chunk of sugar, it might be okay.But you can't have something with nuts or bitter chocolate. "

Sugar is a stable food and basically has no expiration date.If it is that chunk, it may be okay.But I'm not going to eat it.If it was sweet, it would have been enough with fruit, yakitori, and pancakes made by Elena.

The river checked the chocolate ingredients and began packing them in bags.Well, it's probably okay because it's Poison Resistant.However, care was taken not to allow children to eat.

Sugar and salt were thrown into the root subspace, and detergents, soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc. were collected.

The women packed what they needed in a large shadow bag. I feel kind of happy.

"Yes, let's go upstairs and collect underwear."

"That's a good idea. I was dissatisfied because I couldn't get my fashionable underwear."

I think we should stay away from the women's wing for a while.Me and Kawai looked around the grocery store and checked the expiration date.Most of them were no good. And they thought about instant noodles and cup ramen in the corner.

The expiration date is about a year and a half away.

I reached out and quit.

"Kojiro, you'll be fine. It wasn't the poison of a poison bug."

A river well that whispers demons.

"Haah, if you think about what you're doing, don't be ridiculous."

When did Misaki stop coming?Elena is laughing behind her.

"How about you take it home and let the losers eat it?"

After hearing Kawai's suggestion, Misaki stuck his head to the river well.

"What punitive game? You've recovered the food, haven't you?I'm going upstairs. "

Upon going upstairs, there was a line of cardboard boxes packed with women's underwear.

"Make this cardboard box subspace."

Misaki told me to store it in subspace.I should have put it away quite a bit, but it feels like I can afford it at all.

The river is heading to the men's corner.Looks like he's looking for his own clothes.I'll find it, too. The first time I heard the voice of the example was in September, so here are the remaining summer clothes and clothes for autumn.

Oh, I have a suit that looks expensive.I probably won't wear it, but I checked the suit.Comfortable to touch. If this hadn't happened, I would have graduated from college, worn a suit and worked for the company, and Kawai called me emotional.

As I approached, the river pointed from the end to the end of the corner where the men's shirts were lined up.

"I'll buy it from here to there, so pack it."

Adult buying?

"I wanted to tell you once... you don't have to pay now."

"What are you gonna do? Are you sure you want to take it home?"

"If I take it home, someone will wear it."

We decided to take all our clothes home.Even if we put them all in the subspace, they're still coming in.

"Next, let's collect the futons and blankets from the bedding store.I want to sleep in a new futon. "

Kawai said that Elena and the others agreed.

We went back to Higashigami and arranged the collected items in a two-storey warehouse.This warehouse is a warehouse company building that houses silica sand, the raw material of glass, but that silica sand is in my subspace.

"Misaki, how do you distribute this collection to everyone in town?"

"I want to decide on an administrator and distribute it. I'll take care of that."

If you leave it to Misaki, you'll be fine.

More than a dozen days have passed since we took control of the poisonous zone.The Japanese government contacted me and decided to negotiate a contract with Minister Ikoma.

I'm going to Nagano again.

When I tell the river well, it smells like trouble.

"Now you're going by boat?"

"No, use the transfer dome to go to Mitsu-cho in Nagano.From there, I'm moving to a town with a temporary government. "

"Oh, I see. I set the Mitsu-cho link crystal on the transfer dome so I could transfer it to Mitsu-cho."

Elena looked at me and asked.

"What did Tacrow say about 'shifts'?"

"I didn't say anything about it.Fifty-one days later is exactly two years from the day I first heard the voice. "

Elena nodded.

"In the first year, the food area was liberated, and in the second year, what is a 'shift'?"

"I think something bad is going to happen."

"There wasn't any information in the food area about the shift, was there?"

"No, but I found something that bothered me a little."

The river broke in.

"What do you care?"

I told you there was a sea in the food area.

"Oh, you said it was about ten days on foot."

There's an island in the ocean.

"There will be as many islands in the food area."

"They say there's a building on the island called the Trial Castle."

When I heard that, Misaki glanced.

"Hey, say something important."

"Last night, I was checking my knowledge of the food area, and I just noticed something."

"Hmm, so what is a 'castle of trial'?"

"I don't know."

Misaki sighed.

"Useless information. It's not worth four stars."

"That's terrible. The Red Thunderstone thing is about Advanced Knowledge (Food Area).Without it, we wouldn't have access to titanium dioxide or ultraviolet light. "

Without the clues of titanium dioxide and ultraviolet light, it would not have been possible to establish immediately that red thunderstones would easily become a source of energy.

Misaki smiles.

That's true. If knowledge skills information is all that matters, the Castle of Trials may also be important. We need to make sure. "

"I can't go right away.I have to go see the minister first. "

"Of course. Tomorrow, we'll go to the interim government town and exchange contracts."

The next day, we went to see Minister Ikoma.I heard the government's conclusions in the minister's room.We accepted our offer to build a research and development center and shipyard in Jesus.

Misaki signed the contract as the representative.Because Misaki is about to become the representative of Jesus City.It seems that the citizens who tried to take charge of Ryuzaki at first also gave up because Ryuzaki stuck to it.

"By the way, it seems that a new Explorer in Jesus City has heard the word shift, is it being investigated by the government?"

Misaki asked Minister Ikoma.

"I hear it's under investigation.But it seems to be a lot more difficult to navigate.I just asked the United States a question.I think the answer will come back soon. "

"I see. Let me know if you know anything."

Fine.

Minister Ikoma accepted with a smile.I see a breakthrough in the energy problem, so I'm in a good mood.
