We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene 139: Australia's Food Area

“But from now on, we won't be able to count on American help. How are you going to manage it?”

The man clogged up his words and scolded me.

"Anyway, let's calm down and discuss. Let's talk in the room, shall we?"

I thought I'd go into the office myself and move the discussion forward. Inside the office, mining site executives were doing administrative work.

“Darrell, what's going on?”

The person who greeted me was named Darrell.

"It's a customer from Japan. They're here about the case."

The fact that the rights of the coal fields have moved to Japan seems to have been contacted by the United States.

Me and Kawai, guided to a room like a conference room, the engineer Iwasawa sits in a chair and looks at the Australians.

"As I said earlier, I want you to think that there will be no support from the United States in the future."

Darrell's face cast a dark shadow.

"What about the food?"

It seems that what they received as a price for coal was not enough.

"First of all, I am thinking of assistance from Japan. By the way, are you aware of the fact that poisonous substances in the air can interfere with pregnancy?”

Darrell and the others gave an anxious expression.

“I didn't hear anything. What do you mean?"

"Since the birth rate in Japan has dropped sharply, research has shown that airborne poison enters a woman's body and has an effect on preventing pregnancy."

"W-What... is that when a child is not born, we die?"

"Yes, sir."

Damn it, I would have gone to America.

I think the Americans knew this fact, but they didn't tell the Australians who decided to stay.

“There's a reason why we and the United States decided to move to food zones, not just food.”

Darrell turns his sharp eye on us.

“You're telling me that you're going to move us to a food area in Japan?”

"If you have a hope, you can do so." But Japan is also thinking of another way. ”

What's the other way?

“From Australia to the food district, we're going to have a transfer dome that can be used by the average person.”

Darrell and the others seemed surprised.

Oh, can you do that?

“Japan can do it, the United States can do it, but you didn't.”

Australians have a bitter face.

“You're asking us to dig for coal in return?”

"I think it's a reasonable condition."

The Australians started talking to Gaya Gaya on their own. Australian English is a unique pronunciation, so I only know about half of it.

"After discussion, I think I'll take your offer." However, it's not up to us alone, so it'll take some time to make a formal decision. "

I knew that, so I decided to investigate the surrounding land until the people working in the coal fields made a decision.

I was introduced to the Australian Explorer and asked about the alien territory near the office. The nearest transfer dome appears to be across from the Giant District.

The alien beasts that make up the Giant Quarter are quite tough. I had an iron Vajra stick as a weapon, and I had a tremendous ability to wield it.

However, it seemed that power was the only thing that was terrifying. And the quickness wasn't that bad either. We used our weapons and skills to defeat them.

Shouldn't we take down the Guardians here and get the amulet?

I nodded to Kawai's suggestion.

"That's right, but if you get shifted, you won't be able to use your amulet." Shouldn't we destroy the control stone? "

“That way, anyone can get through.”

Kawai seems to be wary of the rogue crowds that remain in Australia. When you arrive at the Transfer Dome, you will be transferred from there to the Food Area.

This food area is separate from Agarta, so you shouldn't be able to get here from Agarta. The Stone Circle sits on a hill from which you can see a spacious forest.

There are no human traces around the Stone Circle, and the transfer dome we're using now seems to have gone unused.

"It's a nice place." I think it's a great place to move. "

“But without heavy construction equipment, it's going to be tough.”

All the lush trees were thick trees, and it seemed difficult to slash them down.

"You can substitute it for" "Puppeteer" "." There must be a lot of people in Australia who can use it. ”

Yes, but there are some tasks that cannot be substituted by [Groundhandling]. I want heavy equipment to carry down trees and pave roads.

Isn't that a river?

Kawai raised his voice. Drinking water and agricultural water will be fine if there is a river.

As I went down the hill into the forest, I noticed various fruits in the trees. Some fruits have been eaten in Agarta.

When you gather some of the fruit, you begin to look for any other food. Then, you encounter an armored pig. We knocked it down with one blow and hung it on a tree to drain blood.

Then there were peach potatoes and cassava-like potatoes. Collect them and return to where the Armored Pig was hanging. Looks like the blood has been drained.

Return the Armored Pig to subspace and back to Stone Circle. It has been about five hours since I metastasized. When we got back to the transfer dome, we went back to the office.

When I show you the food we've been collecting in the food area,

“I see, there's plenty of food in the food area. It seems to be a good environment for emigration."

Darrell nodded.
