D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

"Nice to meet you. My name is Sayama. Thank you for your time."

That said, it was the scholarly man with glasses on his slightly pale face who put out his hand.

"It's Yoshimura. This is the third best party member. Thank you very much."

It was only two days after the researchers from the Agricultural Research Institute came to this contract, as requested by the Commercial Division to manage the hair.

After a seven-day workshop, it seems that the WDA card will be received in reserve tomorrow, two days later, and will leave as is.

After all, guests are completely beginners and middle-aged. It'll take two days to get to the 21st floor. Minimum 4 days return journey. The worse it is, the more it will take.

First of all, I would like to confirm the contents of the contract...

A provisional contract for the nomination request has been entered into between JDA and the client.

Although JDA has a standard calculation formula, if there is a significant problem with the amount, it is decided based on consultation. As a matter of fact, this time, it was arranged with a direct interview.

"The contract is to take one researcher to the 21st floor as safely as possible, and then take him back to the ground after the activity. They also provide general food and accommodation during dungeon stays. Are you sure?

"Yes"

"By the way, what does activity mean?

"The main thing is to bring back the branches of the trees you gave me."

"Branch?"

"Yes, it was a very strange citrus, so I decided to cut a tree in the fruit and tea research department."

I looked at Mr. Naruse and checked with JDA to see if it was permissible.

She nodded slightly and told me that JDA allowed it.

"I see. Well, even if you're expected to be treated like a hotel or inn in the dungeon, I guarantee the standard Explorer treatment."

To relieve the tension, Sayama pushed up the bridge of the glasses nervously and took my line with a light glare.

Thank you very much.

This request is a commonly known escort request.

In other words, it's our job to keep him safe on the road, not to touch his research or his work.

Previously, the boundaries seemed to be blurred, but after the trouble with the research, it seems to be based on no-touch. Unless, of course, there's a request for help.

"Well, sign here, too."

I gave him the papers I received from Miyoshi.

"What is this?

"Nda. Our information that we've seen and heard during this quest is subject to confidentiality."

"Confidentiality?

"For example, suppose she used magic."

I pointed at Miyoshi and said.

Huh?

"You can't tell anyone that she used that magic."

Explorers' skills and behavior tend to be basically concealed.

Because no one wants others to know about the trump card. Especially when it comes to life.

"What if I told her?

"If your activity is disrupted, you will be reimbursed the same amount as our income for the past year."

"Huh? For a year?

"Yes, it was originally a matter of the entire exploration activity going forward, but I was hesitant to claim a lifetime reduction in my annual earnings, and it was difficult to calculate, so I decided to spend a year."

"What if it's already a well-known fact?

"For example, it is a well-known fact that she has an appraisal, so that information is out of the scope of the NDA. Please note that details of the appraisal will be included in the NDA."

"Okay."

Sayama did not intend to listen to such stories from others, and vaguely signed that it would be about 10 million at most.

Because I never dreamed that the income of a single party in the past year would be comparable to Bahrain's income scale, to say the least.

After signing the NDA, Naruse took over.

So, about the request fee...

I'm talking to the Commercial Department about JDA's standard price.

"JDA's nomination criteria mean that the daily percentage of the party's income over the past year will be the standard price."

That's what Naruse explained.

However, depending on the request, there may be various treatments and vice versa. It's just a guide, right?

"That's what I'm asking."

"However, if there is a problem with the amount, it is normal practice to discuss it with each other at the time of the contract."

"Problem? Does that mean we need a plus alpha?

Sayama asked looking back at their request.

After all, it is a job to safely deliver beginners and ordinary people to the 21st floor, which until recently was called Deep. It is not strange that there is an increase in danger.

"Mr. Sayama. D Powers' income over the past year is roughly 1.2-1.3 billion yen per day."

"What about it?"

Sayama doubted her ears.

$1.2 billion a day? Whether it's Iraqi dinars or Somali shillings, or Volvo (* 1), which is in decline, it's not a very affordable amount.

And if that's true... he remembered the content of the DNA that he exchanged earlier.

"Wait a minute, please. So, the penalty for the NDA just now...."

450 billion yen is a little bit.

"Cheeky...."

Sayama's eyes hardened.

"Well, that can't be imposed as long as we keep the confidentiality obligation, so there's no problem, I think it's impossible to request at the standard price...."

"Yes, on average, how many Explorers do you typically do this job?

"That's right. On a party-by-party basis, is the lowest line per day about 200,000 yen?"

If it operates 20 days a month, it will earn 4 million dollars a month if it is 200,000 dollars a day.

It seemed like a lot of money, but for a six-person party, it was only about 660,000 per person, so it was cheap as the income of explorers who could exceed 20 layers.

Sayama panicked at the amount. If expenses are included, there is a possibility that they will exceed 1 million.

"Hey, I'm going to contact my manager to confirm, so could you hold on a moment?

"Yes, I can't use my phone in the conference room, so please go in the lobby."

"Okay."

That said, Sayama left the room sweating.

Looking behind me, I told Naruse.

Naruse-san He can't be lurking like that? I need at least a beginner's set..... "

Yoshimura-san would say that?

She smiled unexpectedly.

It is true that I was fluffy in the dungeon with my usual clothes, but that was when I didn't know much about the inside of the dungeon, and there is also a reason that I only went to the first floor without much danger.

Nevertheless, after two floors, the defenses were poor compared to the floor, and there were so many frivolous Explorers who fully opened their hearts, and we also received sermons in the name of scattered advice.

With 21 floors to go, no armor is enough to set the Explorer's mind on fire.

"There is no provision in the escort request for the clothes to be escorted. If you get injured because of that, it's your responsibility."

You're surprisingly harsh.

"If you're injured because you missed your preparations to get to the danger zone, I think it's mostly your fault."

If a lion attacked you on your own in a safari park, you won't be able to get rid of the park until you're responsible for it.

At that time, a rattling noise approached from outside the room.

"Aren't you coming back soon?

The moment Miyoshi said that, when the door opened with momentum, an energetic man jumped in and cut his red-haired hair uncompletely.

Hyu, it looks like we made it.

"Oh, Robin Williams?

Looking at the man's face, Miyoshi suddenly spilled. It certainly is similar. But I've seen more similar portraits.

"Not to mention... that great mathematician"

Ah!

"Gauss!

Miyoshi and I looked at each other and said so.

Yes, his face was very similar to that of Gauss painted by Christian Albrecht Jensen. My hair was different.

Gauss? You're not a planetary monster, are you?

Monster?

"What? I used to do crunch rolls until last year, but isn't that a Japanese toxedo?

From a research institute? It's time to check out Tokusatsu with a crunch roll... (* 2)

No, we were talking about mathematicians....

It's an honor. Well, maybe it's a little similar. "

Mr. Argyle, rather than greeting, what are you doing without knocking?

A tall, chic, monotoned woman emerged from behind the jumping man, smiling at all things, and pushed him into his behavior.

Ah, this is rude. Uh, I'm Nathan Argyle. Is this the room used for the D Powers meeting?

"Nathan Argyle....."

When Naruse opened his eyes in surprise, he came out and said, "I can't hold my hand."

Excuse me, is this Dr. Argyle from the DFA?

That's right. What about you?

"My name is Michal Narse of JDA. I have the honor of appointing a full-time administrator for D Powers. I've heard about the doctor coming to Japan, but why are you here?

When a big WDA comes to Japan, it is usually the International Cooperation Division that will be dealing with it.

This section is under the Dungeon Management Department and is mainly responsible for liaison and collaboration with WDA.

If you are in the wrong place, I will guide you to the International Cooperation Division.

No, that's the purpose. I heard from Demir that he's here today to ask for the D Powers nomination. He's going to the 21st floor to get the oranges. "

"Demir?" I whispered, and Naruse briefly added, "Demir Anderson is the head of the International Cooperation Division."

Sure, but I don't really understand the relationship with the doctor here.

Easy. I was hoping we could take a ride. "

Yes?

"Hey, Miyoshi. Didn't you say you were gonna give me a ride?

"What a strange encounter, senpai. That's what I heard."

"Please wait, Doctor. Right now, we're in the middle of a nomination contract. Even if it's called a ride....."

Don't say hard things. Just for a second!

I use my thumb and index finger to make a small gap and pose just a little in front of my eyes.

"You look kind of like a freedom-looking guy."

"You've become a great WDA man with such nonsense....."

Normally, I'm a decent person, but this time I'm a little up.

The woman who followed him said sorry that he heard us.

Eh, Japanese is...

Just a little bit.

Shit. I don't know what to say.

I mean, Asha, there are surprisingly many people who can speak Japanese.

Thank you for your patience. My name is Keigo Yoshimura from D Powers. She is Azsa Miyoshi. Weissman is more famous.

"Wow, I know your fame. I'm Silky-Subway. I'm a doctor's assistant."

Are you famous? That's Weissman. The name sounds like it's ringing on the WDA.

While Mr. Naruse and Dr. Nagase had a subtle interaction, we were briefed by Mr. Silkley on why he came to Japan this time.

So, did you read that report?

"Yes, at first I wondered what kind of delusion it was."

Indeed. We were close to ourselves, and we couldn't believe it until it happened. Even so, the response was quick.

That's because you were the submitters.

Mr Silkley said so with a serious face.

According to her, the evidence exists in Yoyogi in a stunning report submitted by the world's only appraising party.

The impact of this on the world is likely to be enormous, and we should have gone to check the evidence immediately.

The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) seems to be very interested in the report and wants to confirm it quickly. Instead, it seems to be an arrow reminder.

"It's going to be awful again...."

"I was expecting it, but it scares me when it comes to reality."

So you came to check the farm?

Having heard those words, Dr. Argyle looked back on us in the middle of his conversation with Mr. Naruse.

That's right. That crazy farm is on the second floor of Yoyogi, right? Of course I came to see it. "

He said so with a gesture so high that he seemed to be in that state.

After seeing your application, I wanted to jump on the plane immediately anyway, but there was a strict watchdog who took over. Anyway, I left as soon as I could, but when I got to Narita, it was still 15: 00. "

When I contacted the JDA while I was sleepy and dying of jet lag, I heard that the next day - today - you would make a contract (* 3) to cut down a sacred tree branch by my lake. I had to ride, I abused my authority and interrupted!

Abuse of authority......

"Mr. Argyle is honest."

"Ah, but we're not going to become fugitive slaves and kill the King of the Forest, are we?

What, the secret of the world is waiting for you there, right?

He then winked small so that he could share secrets.

When I came to check the wheat, I wasn't really interested in the fact that it even appeared in orange as a DFA.

Anyway, he said he wanted to release the patent tentatively as soon as it was confirmed.

This is gonna be amazing.

The doctor glanced at the universe with excitement and grabbed a knife.

Regardless of the patent, when it comes to the wheat field, we are worried about the disruption of the futures market, but do you mind?

"Say something stupid. Before the fact that poverty could disappear from the world, at least on food, I wondered what would happen to the markets in which Bourgeois people were playing with the bulls in circulation."

Hmm?! Are you sure?!

Is this guy an anarchist or something?

The futures market is essentially a hedge market. Looking at the current grain market, which is changing at high prices, there must be a lot of people buying and owning in the futures market.

If this information were to cause grain prices to collapse, those people would lose a lot.

If a straightforward risk hedge operates futures for a purpose, it doesn't matter whether it goes up or down. Isn't that the essence of risk hedging?

--If you ask me, you're right. Unless you think you can make a profit from it, is it just that there is no risk of upward swing and the insurance cost is wasted?

I'm starting to feel that way, too.

Well, I don't know what it's like for people other than risk hedges.

... I feel that your side has more resentment power and execution power.

"In fact, food on Earth is made to cover all of humanity when it comes to grains. But the problem is biased. Any word from the FAO?

No, it's embarrassing.

Don't worry. A lot of people in the world are just like you, and I'm not going to read a report like that. "

According to what he said and explained, the world will continue to see higher food prices as demand for biofuel raw materials continues to outpace supply, in addition to growing demand for food and feed as the total population continues to grow and income levels increase, mainly in developing countries.

And even though production is expected to expand in each region, in the Asia-Africa and Middle East regions, it will fall below the growth in consumption.

"As a result, net imports from Asia, Africa and the Middle East will expand, and the trend towards food parity will expand. There it is."

When he received the folded paper from Mr Silkley, he spread it over his desk.

What is this?

What was spread out there was a map of the world.

The red one is the location of the primary dungeon that's been confirmed all over the world.

Dungeons around the world are said to have appeared in almost a day. These dungeons were referred to as primary dungeons for convenience.

In addition, several more dungeons are called secondary dungeons each year.

The primary dungeon was scattered around the latitude of 35-40 degrees north and spread in both poles as the area ID increased. Strangely enough, it is arranged to avoid areas where there are no people at all.

Although they may not have been found because there are no people at all, the results of the expedition that went looking for them after three years are almost zero.

It's strange that there are a lot of Japanese in this way.

He pointed his finger towards Japan along the 35-degree northern latitude line of the Pacific Ocean.

It's as if something that makes a dungeon that has crossed the Pacific Ocean hit Japan and split between the north and the south.

When the doctor's finger hit Japan, he continued southward along the Japanese archipelago and headed towards Southeast Asia.

Thus, in East Asia, where the number of dungeons has been discovered is very small compared to its area, circles were drawn with circles and fingers.

And the blue one is the secondary dungeon. Strangely enough, the secondary dungeon is on the side of the giant primary dungeon, or else... "

He pointed to the Sahel region.

It contained four blue bats, including the dark core dungeon, which had been the subject of discussion the other day.

"There's so much we can do in poor communities."

Indeed, blue bugs are scattered in poor areas of the world.

It's as if the dungeon even made it for this discovery.

He didn't seem to know whether he was joking or serious, and said so.

When I heard that, Naruse broke into the doctor's story.

Please wait a moment. He came to Japan to check the barley fields on the second floor of Yoyogi to investigate the patents submitted by D Powers. "

Well, that's right in front of the building.

It was a very interesting story, but isn't it related to the job?

"Directly, yes."

Well, please stop talking about it. I am currently contracting for a nomination request. "

That said, Naruse looked at the entrance, and Sayama-san stood there.

"What about him?

I'm the original client this time. Dr. Argyle said, "You're a fugitive slave."

Miyoshi explained that to him.

"Um, well. Would you excuse me?

Sayama said so in fear.

"I have a contract with Mr. Sayama. It's all right because it's these people who are disturbing us."

Naruse made a speech to the big WDA.

Mr Silkley understands Japanese and I'm a little worried that it will be a problem later.

"That's what I talked to my boss about earlier....."

"So, what's up?

"It's hard to spend more than 100,000 yen a day."

It's the end of the year. Apparently, the budget is scarce.

"With that amount, the request for escort from the 20th floor to the front is probably without an underwriter....."

"Really... even if I had to rebuild it at my own expense..."

What a convenient story! Ah, no... this is heaven's medicine!

The doctor who was listening to Silkley translate the situation suddenly interrupted the conversation.

Mr Naruse raised his eyebrows at such an abrupt tone of blame.

Dr. Argyle......

Don't look so bitter, Mikhail. I heard about that man. What's his name?

"Huh? Me?

Suddenly asked his name, Mr. Sayama chewed a little.

Shigel Shayama.

I see! Siegel, I'm Nathan Argyle. Best regards this time!

"How are you? How are you?

Are you rubbing it with the request fee? If you can work with me, I'll hold the commission. If you're a 20-storey Explorer, it's $3,500 to $4,000 a day, right?

Wow, that's America. Is the market about twice the minimum price line?

"Well, that would be helpful... but what are the terms?

What, we'll interrupt later. You may want to hang out with me for a little while at the end, but if you don't want to, you can go home first. "

After seeing the two of them, I sighed lightly and confirmed to Sanyoshi.

"Miyoshi, do you have an English version of the NDA?

"For the time being, we have to output it. Mr. Naruse, can you print it?

"That's okay... I'm really sorry."

"Well, we're going to have to talk about it over there, and we can't help it."

"Um, it's too irregular, so I think you can refuse it...."

That's what Naruse said, and I glanced at the men negotiating over there.

"Even if I refuse here, I'm going to abuse my authority to push in my request. Well, it's a loan to JDA."

"Senpai, I'm fully rotating the Dungeon Control Department, so shouldn't I give it back here?

"That's true at first glance, but I don't think the average clerk would appreciate it."

"No, if you say so, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my job to refuse to take it."

While laughing bitterly at our exchange, she asked Miyoshi to output the data of the NDA documents to an in-section printer for delivery.

Afterwards, when it arrived, the doctor signed it barely reading the text.

The assistant's girlfriend checked the text while complaining and pressed the doctor again when she heard the exact amount of compensation.

Mr. Argyle, don't let your colleagues slip! If you do that, we won't be able to run out of budget!

Normally, he nodded as he swayed to her horrible sword screen.
