D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

"No, thank you very much."

At the exit of Yoyogi, Mr. Sayama bowed his head to us.

The large cooler box, which is lowered from the shoulders, contains lots of plants harvested in the dungeon and orange branches used for shrubs.

Fortunately, they were not reduced to light, but were housed there like ordinary plants.

Unlike monsters, I don't know why plants and fruits aren't cut back into light.

Would an attempt to spread Factor D outside the dungeon make it possible? Or is the world that I think was created from the information of the game just following its rules?

In any event, there was no conclusive evidence.

The moment Dr. Argyle saw the two floors of barley fields, he stopped moving as if he were fascinated by them.

The time to send Sayama-san is approaching, so when I said I would leave him alone, I asked him to lend me a dog as a guard, and while his eyes were sparkling, he mowed the wheat and looked around when he came around.

Turning to Mr Silkley, we couldn't help but shrug our shoulders without treatment, so we came back with ice cream and cabas.

It's safe enough to have two goblins there, at best, once in a while.

"No, we are also interested in the situation after taking the plants out of the dungeon, so can you just tell us the results?"

"Of course. But please don't say anything else until it's a paper."

Sayama-san joked.

I laughed and said, "Let's do that. You don't have to say anything else."

"That's it! 400 billion yen won't come out even if you shake the farm grind upside down!!

Sayama said so with a strong face, recalling the NDA contract.

Sayama, who lowered the cooler box heavily from his shoulders, shook his hand from the other side of the rear glass as he stroked into the car that was coming to pick him up.

"You were quite an interesting person. The last one had an affair with Dr. Argyle. However, when I was passionate, I couldn't do it."

"Those who don't fail in their own research arena aren't becoming researchers."

When I said that, "Well, that makes sense," Miyoshi clapped his hands.

"But there was nothing in the story of the Golden Branch."

"No, you didn't."

Huh?

"You were doing a big job."

"Oh! That's it!

Miyoshi glanced at his hobbies, and the job he took on from the president was quite a big one, if you think calmly.

If we hadn't, they would have cost a lot and taken months to load.

And suddenly, a source of electricity appears on the 32nd floor. It will be a great base for the porters and a hub for development. Nevertheless...

"If the great Japanese knew about this, they wouldn't know what to say."

If you suddenly build it, there's no way it won't leak, and if it leaks, there's no way it won't connect with us.

The Dungeon Management Division of JDA is the most knowledgeable about cheesy.

The faction that wants us to do the job will find out under what conditions they took it. By offering the same conditions, we can crush the excuse to refuse.

And if the tax office is willing to look into it, it should be as easy as that. But there's no sign of money being exchanged.

These people will then think of tax evasion as a first step in a back-office transaction. I think I can see that much interaction.

After all, Miyoshi is the only appraisal holder in the world.

It will be easy to get a green card with EB-1EA (* 1). The possibility is more problematic than what the person thinks.

"No, I didn't take it for America, and I didn't mean to take it as a job...."

"Your feeling is that you helped your friend a little and split the wine for that, right?

Well, yeah.

Even if you receive a gift during a relationship with a non-work-related friend, it is not taxable.

However, it may be different in the case of articles that deviate from social norms. What this case will be regarded as, for example, is three inches in the chest of the tax office.

If a head of state or royal family gives a head of state a high value jewelry as a token of their love, no matter how high it may be, there will probably be no gift tax.

However, if ordinary people received the oil fields from the Arab royal family as proof of their love, it would probably be considered a gift. As a token of my love, I might have had to let go of the gift tax because I couldn't pay it.

I don't think that's the case, and I don't think there's anything there that could be called "commemoration," but in any case, this should be a pretext for the tax authorities to investigate.

"I don't care if you say you were instigated by Screaming Eagle and Leflave... but who in Naruse believes that?

"Gu... well, that's right. If you say something so mean, I won't let you drink."

"Ugh... no, I have half the rights."

No, when you were talking to each other, Miyoshi's smartphone vibrated as you were pointing your face toward each other as you heard an intrusion that might not be there.

"Who is it?

Naruse speaking.

Miyoshi took out his phone and said so, swiping across the screen and answering the phone.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"If there was a steel head on the 21-story lake and I fished and ate it, would it have been good?

That's right.

After hearing the details of the exploration and summarizing it in the report to D Powers who returned to the ground, Mitsuki went to Ichigaya to give an overview to Saiga.

Saiga, who had received the report with an astonishing face, asked with wrinkles between her eyebrows.

"... so what was Dr. Argyle doing?

"They ate together. Rather, he insisted on eating. You said it was delicious."

Saiga said with a squeezy voice, banging her forehead on the desk and pushing herself down.

"... he's the head researcher at the DFA."

"Miyoshi-san tested it, so you're fine, right? You said that."

Saiga, when she woke up, slapped her desk with both hands and said, "It's the DFA's job to take the back of that... uhh!" he said.

Appraisal is convenient and powerful, but there is no guarantee that it is truly correct.

Protecting food safety is also an authentic task that confirms the guarantee one by one.

Besides, he's a WDA VIP. If anything happens in the JDA dungeon, it's an international problem.

As she watched the situation, Mitsuharu smiled bitterly at the section chief.

Recently, Saiga often collapsed in front of Mitsunami. Although it must be that I am competent, I used to have the impression that I am a serious and hard person, but recently, I felt that there are quite a few things that are nice.

Well, there's no one in D Powers who can stay calm forever.

Even if you say so.

"Within the JDA dungeon, if you get sick, you die, you stop being human, it's your responsibility."

"There are a lot of people who are going to stop being human these days...."

"Hey, hey, hey. I thought you were a free dam, but I didn't know you were such a free dam."

"As far as I'm concerned, you said you're a uniformly good, serious researcher."

I don't even have a cat in my pants.

Not to mention the astonishing fact that there were fish in the dungeon that weren't monsters.

"So, what about the doctor?

"There was a vacancy at the JFK departure from Narita at 19: 30, and Mr. Silkley dragged me there."

That's sweet.

That said, Saiga finally felt like one less problem and the load on her shoulders went down.

"He came here without taking over. You said you'd be back as soon as you approved Miyoshi-san's patent."

Hearing the story, Saiga turned away.

"... are you coming back?! What are you doing here?

"I'll build a branch or something....."

"What do you mean?

So far, there are two divisions of the DFA.

It is commonly known as White Oak for collaboration with the FDA of the United States and Ducale for collaboration with the EFSA of the EU.

Each of them had a common name.

"I know White Oak and Ducale, but... Yoyogi Station? Are you kidding me? You don't have a centralized food safety organization in Japan, do you?

Food management in Japan spans multiple ministries such as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of the Environment, and is spread over the United States and the EU.

"The FSC in Akasaka? No, but I feel like it's just management over there...."

"Er...."

"What?

"Probably in collaboration with Miyoshi-san. They were obsessed with the wheat."

"... there?"

Indeed, it has an impact that flips the planet's food situation around the table. That's for sure.

However, WDA's Food Control Department is only responsible for ensuring its safety, if I may say so. Saiga didn't know why she was obsessed with it.

"And before they dragged him, he contacted NIHS, NARO's food research department, and the RCFS at the Graduate School of Agricultural Life Sciences at the University of Tokyo."

Mitsuki reported the contact while looking at the note.

"Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare jurisdiction and Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries jurisdiction? You're looking into Japan, too."

"They're going to check the wheat first. However," I'm telling you that you can eat Azusa, so it's okay. I'll talk to the FAO. "

"At this point, do we pull it out to the FAO?

"I wanted to get IDA to spend money and quickly introduce it around the Sahel region."

IDA (International Development Association) is one of the two organizations that make up the World Bank and provides interest-free loans and grants to the governments of the poorest countries.

The other, by the way, is IBRD, which lends to middle-income countries and credible low-income governments.

"Why does WDA's Food Management Department interfere with global poverty issues?

"Hmm, somehow...."

"What?

"Because you're human, right?

Even with that bluish remark, Saiga was about to turn red.

Technologies that could save the world's poverty are right in front of us. I am in a position to deliver it to the world.

Is that why you can run away without taking risks?

Saiga once again saw the beauty in front of her.

She seemed to be illuminated that she might have said something a little embarrassing.

It's not dangerous, but they do it... and Saiga was in the middle of a daze and in the middle of a awe.

I see.

"I don't know, section chief. Don't be a vegetarian!

Mitsumi pushed her right hand out like a stop while moving her hand like an inner ring with her left hand to cover up the illumination.

It scratched the documents on Saiga's desk and scattered several documents under the desk.

"Whoa, whoa."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

That said, when I tried to pick up the document that fell, the title caught my eye.

"Yoyogi... Divergent City Project?"

Ah, did it happen?

"What is the name of the project that will miss this bubble?

Beautiful asked while collecting the documents and putting them back on the desk.

"I miss you, but you weren't born bad at that time."

"Well, yes, but...."

"In short, it's a project to build a facility outside the safe area and use it in the dungeon."

Is it divergent because it is different from the safe area? Or is it divergent in the sense of a dungeon different from the ground? In any case, Beautiful thought that the name Divergent City was realistic and a little embarrassing.

"It's kind of creepy, but where's the business?

"According to the papers, it's either the Yoyogi Divergent City prep meeting or the planning room."

"... ah, that's suspicious."

"Hey, don't say bad things because it's the Tokyo metropolitan area."

Saiga smiled bitterly, though it certainly smelled sexy.

"Well, that's the guy who went down to the planning room, but the congressman has a name."

Hah, and Mitsui slapped her gavel in a daze.

"But can you do that?

"You can't suddenly."

Besides, no matter how expensive the land around here is, it is doubtful whether it can be financially recovered.

So, as a primary project, they're going to build a communications network.

"If it's that easy to maintain, I think it's been built a long time ago."

Sort of. In fact, this plan seems to have existed since the beginning of the dungeon. "

"Then why now?

"You found a safe area, didn't you?

"Yes"

"If it were to be developed, it would be an urgent task to establish a communication network that connects to the top."

Well, that's true.

"At the moment, we can't pull the cable around. So it seems like we're going to build some base stations for radio relays, make them redundant, and then operate them."

Saiga went on without saying.

"--If it was just a small building, there would have been someone who had built a building on the 21st floor."

"Is that the effect?!

"indirectly."

That said, Saiga took out one of the documents at hand and gave it to Mitsui.

It contained a patent for anti-slime measures filed by D Powers.

"Huh? You've already been admitted?

Whatever it takes, it's too soon. The application should not have been filed that long ago.

"It's all about the content. And it's really easy to prove it."

WDA's PO (Intellectual Property Office Patent Division) also appeared to have been investigated as a top priority.

"Well, that's why this project, which has been around for a long time, started at the same time."

"Chief, I think we should just lend the land. I don't have people to spend on projects like this."

Saiga explained further with a bitter smile that you brought half of the cause.

"Well, it's not about splitting the staff, it's about giving me money."

"Grant? Grant? Then it's not us, it's the promotion division... no way."

"I guess I had to turn to you for budgetary reasons rather than to get back to the fund noise the other day."

"You mean there was a reason you couldn't turn it over to the budget next season?

"It's possible that he was sponsoring the D Powers to move the project forward."

Even if I had to send you ahead...

"I'm going to build up the infrastructure in the dungeon, so the JDA can pay for it, so this planning room is also very enthusiastic. This amount can't even be covered by next year's promotional budget."

Saiga bent her mouth to the letter, saying that it was necessary to collect a large amount of donations.

Then the members of the Promotion Division...

"If that were true, it would crush me... I have a headache."

Lately, Yoshida didn't even try to meet her in the hallway with Saiga.

As for Saiga, I only advised D Powers not to do anything extra, but I had a headache because I was unilaterally treated as a bad person.

"Well, don't worry, I'll throw it up at the end."

"It's how smart bosses use it."

"Don't come with me. You can't settle things like this amount of subsidies under the authority of the section chief."

"I think the deal with D Powers to keep the orb was quite a sum of money...."

"It was rooted in advance. I work within the organization. You can't do that on your own."

Beautiful said that, that doesn't seem like I don't work within the framework of the organization, but recently, I think most of the work is done at D Powers' office.

"Good work."

"... you know... I feel so sorry for you now."

"It's my fault! Aren't you tired? Here, I'll put it in again with a sweet one."

"Oh, oh..."

Saiga seemed a little envious when she stood up to escape.
