We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene: 131 American mission

After an American soldier came out of the boat, an unusual man dressed in broad clothes appeared. It's been a long time since you've seen a man in a suit.

I didn't know what the Americans were vigilant about, so I asked Misaki to check with me. Misaki, a master of English, speaks to a wide-ranging person.

"My name is Misaki Endo, and I'm Yashiro's chief administrative officer. Are you the representative?"

A man with a wide back nodded.

“I'm Mark Roland, the head of the mission sent to the US presidency. I never thought I'd be greeted by a beautiful lady.”

It seems that there is still a presidential system in the United States. Probably because he started moving to the food area early, he was able to continue the original system.

“By the way, the soldiers seem to be on the alert, what's the matter?”

Roland leaks his sigh.

“I'm sorry, but they are wary because they visited the EU in the same way before visiting Japan.”

Misaki interpreted me and tilted my neck. [M]

"What's wrong with Europe?"

“There's chaos going on there, and civil wars are starting in some countries.”

A civil war? It doesn't look like much of a problem. However, I wonder how they are divided into battles. Misaki confirmed that. Apparently, they are fighting against the influx of refugees.

Misaki turns to Roland.

“Did people in Europe not move to food areas?”

Roland's face grew stronger.

Maybe you know the secret to the transfer dome?

“When I heard that the United States started building towns in food areas, I thought there might be a secret, so I searched with this Kojiro.”

Roland nodded.

"So the Japanese moved to the food area?"

“Yes, the surviving Japanese are mostly living in food areas.”

Roland looks surprised.

"Is that so?" Thirty percent of Americans remain in the continental United States to secure energy. "

Misaki and I escorted the Americans to the rapidly constructed dormitory. In a cafeteria-like room, he sits in a chair and starts talking.

"The Japanese were lucky."

Suddenly, Roland spoke up. When Misaki heard that, he said that he would not fall in love.

Why?

"Because there was less inequality in this country. In other developed countries, there are a large number of poor people. It's not that people say it's bad, but many of those people survived violent thoughts.”

Compared to the United States and others, the rich Japanese are small grain. And the difference between the rich and the poor is not so great.

“Is it true that the poor are the ones who remain in the continental United States?”

"It can't be helped." If someone doesn't stay and get coal and other fuels, there's no electricity in the food area. ”

I was a little skeptical. I thought the United States would build a nuclear power plant. It seems that Misaki was thinking the same thing. I asked if you didn't build a nuclear power plant.

“We couldn't bring nuclear fuel like uranium into the food zone. Didn't you know?"

"Yes, Japan decided it was impossible to build a nuclear power plant."

If so, what are you using as your energy source?

Was there no red thunderstone in the food area that was transferred from the United States? I didn't hear from Roland. I don't know if I can trust the United States, so I decided to keep silent about the red thunderstone.

“There are many rivers in our food area, so we focus on hydroelectric power generation.”

"I see, we are building hydroelectric power generation or power generation dams in Japan, but we cannot ensure enough power generation by that alone."

When asked about the American population, Roland doesn't have the authority to publish it. Assuming that they died in the same proportion as in Japan, the population would be about 60 million. Australia's survivors must have emigrated, so perhaps 70 million.

Even though they left part of it in the United States, 50 million people moved to food areas.

“In the United States, have you been investigating food areas?”

I want to know the big picture of the food area, so I ask Misaki a question.

"Unfortunately, the investigation has not progressed due to the barrier ranges."

The food area is said to have a wall that divides the area called the Barrier Range.

"Can't you get over by plane?"

“I couldn't. There seems to be a strange wind blowing over the Barrier Mountains.”

According to Roland, the food area is separated by a mysterious force. There is a wall that is invisible to the sea, and it is impossible to move to other areas.

“That's why we sailed across the Pacific to Japan.”

“That's how big our Agarta is going to be.”

Roland tilted his head when he heard me mutter. He seems to understand Japanese a little.

What's an Agarta?

It's a food area where the Japanese have emigrated.

I see, it's better than the grocery area.

“Is the US also trying to get in touch with China?”

"Yes, I will."

Roland frowns when we talk about being attacked by the Chinese.

“Didn't the Chinese move to the food district?”

“Mainland China is a situation where there is no control. We believe that only members of the Communist Party have moved to food areas."

Having heard Misaki's words, Roland frowned.

“What is China thinking? That country had the greatest strength in terms of population."

Roland turns his attention to us.

“We discovered the remains of people in the food zone who are believed to be indigenous. Isn't it also in Agarta?"

Misaki tried to deny it, but reconsidered it as unnatural. I don't know how many ruins were found in the food areas where the Americans emigrated, but you can't believe Agarta is zero.

Because the Quells are a self-promoting race.

“Yeah, I found some ruins. But it's a ruin with no contents."

Roland nodded.

“That's what the ruins found in the United States looked like. Still, only the names of the native species are known. They're called the Tullys."

Huh, isn't it the 'Quell Clan'?

Roland's face grew stronger.

"The [Quell Clan]... is it a different race from the [Tully]?"

Misaki's face turned sinister.

“No, it looks like Moffabal is dealing with a lot of worlds.”

Roland says he wants to see the ruins of the Quell clan. Misaki and I are going to talk about it and show it to you. However, it was the ruins of a huge ship.

You can refuse here, but in that case the Americans will suspect that the Japanese are hiding something. I thought that if I only hid the Kuer Tower and the Red Thunderstone Generator, I would not be interested in the weirdness.
