We have a level system in place for mankind.

Roland isn't a Guardian Killer. Misaki and I discussed and decided to transfer from the transfer dome we had prepared before to Agarta.

It was a transfer dome close to Lake Hamana, surrounded by poison wards. We have a protective talisman against poisonous insects, so we can get closer to safety, but the others will struggle.

Transfer from Oshima to a port near Lake Hamana and from there aim for the desired transfer dome. Roland accompanied a man like his secretary.

Where am I?

In response to Roland's question, Misaki

"Near Lake Hamana, famous for its eel."

"Oh, I once ate an eel in Tokyo. That was delicious. But I guess I can't eat anymore."

I sigh and then nod. People also disappeared from the area around Lake Hamana, and Hamamatsu and other places were in ruins. In such a state, eel farming, etc. is devastating.

You two need to hang these amulets on your neck.

As Misaki says, Roland tilts his head.

What amulet is it?

"It's a poisonous insect. It's a poisonous insect territory from now on, so without this amulet, it'll die."

"Well, Japan also thought about it." With a transfer dome in a place like this, I decided it would be safe to lift the restrictions. ”

We proceeded with caution to the transfer dome, exited the poisonous area, entered the transfer dome, and set the unrestricted crystal.

I'll be the first to transfer to Agarta and wait for Roland and the others. Ashley, Roland's secretary, was the first to be transferred. Then Roland comes and Misaki shows up at the end.

Roland looks around. Around Stone Circle, there was nothing but a surveillance post.

Is this a walkable place?

Misaki laughs.

“No way, I'm driving from here.”

I pulled a high-powered vehicle out of subspace. Roland looks surprised when he sees it.

That's not Dark Manipulation.

"Yes, a skill called 'subspace'." Isn't there someone in the United States who owns it? "

Roland nodded.

“It certainly exists in the United States, but it must have been very few.”

Maybe there's only one or two of them.

Then we got in a high-powered car and went to a place where there was a paved road.

“If there's a paved road in this place, I wonder if there's a town nearby.”

Hearing Roland's words, Misaki smiles bitterly. I don't want to give you much until we know if the United States is on our side, but if we don't act friendly, we may turn against them. It's a tough one.

We decided to get out of the Motor Vehicle and fly a small plane to our destination. The small airplane I brought into subspace is an airplane owned by the City State of Yashiro.

I borrowed it because Misaki, the chief administrative officer, may be traveling urgently.

"Now you're flying?" Who will pilot it? "

Roland asked Misaki.

“I'll pilot it. When I was a self-defense officer, I got a license."

Oh, you were a self-defender, weren't you?

As we talked, we boarded the plane and flew towards the place where the giant ship was located. Roland starts to shine as soon as he sees a giant ship in a plane.

"Wow, I can't believe there's a giant ship left in this mountain..."

A small plane lands on a runway built near a huge ship. Descending from the plane, Roland began to walk towards the giant ship.

Misaki and Ashley chase Roland, and I put the small plane in subspace before I start walking. Roland seems pretty excited. The contents are empty.

"Mr. Roland, don't be so hasty. The contents of this huge ship are also empty."

Roland stops when he hears it.

"So... this is such a huge ship, but there's nothing in it?"

Yeah, there's only the hull left.

When Misaki answers, Roland drops his shoulder. Then we guided the giant ship.

"It's really empty, isn't it?" Doesn't it mean that the Japanese removed their internal devices? "

“I don't think so. We would have been happy to have it, but wouldn't the same be true of the ruins that the United States discovered in the food district?”

Roland affirmed with a sinister face.

“Unfortunately, the Tullys didn't leave anything behind.”

Is it true? I don't think I can think of nothing. America is a country that is thoroughly investigated and studied. I think it's a country that retrieves some kind of information from ruins that have no contents.

“Would you mind letting our researchers investigate this giant ship?”

“Is there such room in the United States?”

Roland shrugged his shoulders.

“That's right, we can't afford it. If we can solve the energy problem, can we do something about it, but is there no oil in the food area here?”

Misaki shakes his head.

“We haven't discovered oil or coal. Even if it does, there's no way to get it to you."

"No, if we know that it exists, we will also look for oil and coal in earnest."

After seeing the giant ship until she was satisfied, Roland decided to return to his people. He also took a small plane and a high-powered car and returned to Japan, where he boarded a cruiser waiting for his companions.

It seems that they are going to visit Korea and China. The United States is interfering as well. We saw our Roland cruiser go to Korea.

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

"Ashley, what do you think of the Japanese?"

“I felt like I could afford something. Is hydroelectric power, as the Japanese said, a source of surplus?"

“Maybe so. But I also felt strange about that high-powered car and small airplane."

"It's probably because it's electric." Perhaps the Japanese have developed efficient batteries. ”

“I envy hydroelectricity. What about the next South Korea?"

Rolands looked into Korea and despaired. Korea, which was supposed to be a democratic country, collapsed into a feudal society where powerful seekers reigned.

Korea was unaware of the existence of unrestricted crystals. Therefore, only the Guardian Killer was able to transfer to the food area, and the Guardian Killer had tremendous power.

Rolands decided to end the Korean investigation and go to China.
