It's all one flower.

The pharmacist (giggle) Awelana split up with her brother Aviase and turned the dial one after the other.

Two public telephones placed at the entrance of mass retailers, looking at the phone directory and hanging up at "wafer fresh fish shops" in different districts.

Pinatifida negotiated with the cashier to have the change used as a coin for shopping. Awelana and Aviase couldn't think of a better way to do it.

... you're the kid from the bakery, aren't you?

"Thank you for your time." Is there a fisherman named Herodius, a fishing boat called Mitsufuku 3, who is your business partner? "

"What? What are you?"

The fishmonger who answered the phone clearly sounded annoying. Now I don't know how many houses I have.

Awelana called her stomach aching.

"My name is Awelana and I was separated in the air raid." I heard you were dealing with a fishmonger in Crevelle. "

I don't know.

As soon as the fishmonger found out that he was not a customer, he rambled on the receiver.

Awelana's big, exhaled breath trembled.

The next number I dialed didn't even ring a bell.

Write down the bad fishmonger's phone number and district on the memo paper, as Razornik told me.

My brother also placed the receiver between his sighs, cut off the copy paper, and wrote it into a bundle that was clipped together.

About half of the places that did not answer the phone said, "The number you called is not used at the moment. Please check the number and try again." The audio recording of the phone station sounded familiar to me.

The rest is "absent" that doesn't even ring a bell, or that doesn't even ring 20 calls or more. The possibility that the shopkeeper is not in the world is about to crush his chest.

Nearly two years ago, in September, Awelana and the others were at a return refugee center in the capital, Crevelle.

Even at the time of the coup d 'état, the telephone lines were physically disconnected and communications were interrupted in the areas involved in the fighting.

There were several magical means of communication, such as [Enwai] and [Flower Ears], but they could only be contacted by specific individuals who had the magical tools to form a set. Moreover, magic tools like [Flower Ears] were expensive.

The common people could only reach the cheap [Distant Tales] board, which gave them magical effects for a certain period of time. The surge in materials, unemployment due to war and economic sanctions, and a fall in income have left more households unable to do so.

Even in households that have plenty of money, the demand for [endless bags] has surged due to the blockade on the lake, and the craftsmen of the [knitting (Yoshikiri)] school have been extremely busy, and they don't have enough manpower to make them, so they can't get them.

... what am I looking for, Herodius?

Dozens of times I turn the phone dial, repeat the same explanation, and most stores are cold. I felt that it was easier not to connect.

My brother also repeatedly apologized on the public phone next door with a sweat on his forehead and gave the same explanation.

... That's right. I need to get my brother's ship back.

It's not like I can keep helping mobile broadcasters forever.

Herodius, his cousins, kicked out his brother Aviase, the captain, for irrational reasons, and took Kwangfuku-3.

Even if Awelana finds Herodius, she doesn't feel as happy as she did when she met her brother.

With three coins left, Clavelle's call to the "wafer fish shop" ended.

I looked at my brother in the face and laughed powerlessly.

How did it go, brother?

"Everyone who answered the phone didn't know that."

"Neither do I."

There are many stores that didn't come out, and both of them were completely filled with copying paper bundles.

His left hand, which kept gripping the heavy telephone receiver of the payphone, was completely numb and motionless.

When the green-haired brother and sister (today) returned to the truck, the boy soldier Morph greeted them.

How was it?

"People don't know."

I see. Then I'll help you ask at the store.

The boy of the people of the land dropped his shoulder as I had done.

The curtains on the lower level of the bunk beds are open, and there are pieces of paper about the size of a word book spread out. There are four kinds of handwriting that I wrote down.

"Thank you for your hard work. We've just finished our work."

"What is this?"

When Awelana asked, Razzolnik answered by displaying the picture he had just taken on the screen.

Cruzillo, Razornik, Captain Solniak, and DJ Leaf, who did not go shopping, said that they had copied the foreheads of the two tablet devices.

We checked the shopping districts in each district on the map, and divided the "wafer fresh fish shop" by shopping district.

"There are many shops with the same name in one shopping district, isn't it complicated?"

When Amanah twisted her neck, the DJ leaf pointed at the piece of paper with the store name, address and telephone number.

There are no.1 and no.2 shops, and a Nantoka branch with a place name, right?

"Oh, really. This is a mistake... but there are a lot of stores that don't have anything."

"That's because we've just split up ourselves, and the shopping districts are all very long, right?"

DJ Reef, who lived in Tokyo until he lost everything in the coup, said his driver, Medvedge, opened a map book of the capital, Crevel. A single shopping street spans many pages.

"There are also a lot of land people living in Tokyo without strength, and it is troublesome to go through the [Jump] permit point when buying ingredients, and customers are usually people within walking distance."

Well, even if there are stores with the same name at both ends of the shopping district, I don't care.

Maybe some people don't notice.

Pinnatifida convinced herself and Amanah and Elantis nodded together.

Well then, let's split up and divide it into stores that have telephones and stores that don't have telephones in the shopping district.

Razornik told me that Awelana and Abiase had handed out each piece of paper. The name of the store is all the same, so you can distinguish it by the district name and phone number.

There are x marks and no marks, but what are the marks?

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry, the x sign just told the phone station that it's not in use.”

Asked by Pinnatifida, Awelana hastily added an explanation.

"The staff of the Telephone Bureau... also stayed in Tokyo to some extent."

With Captain Solniak's words, everyone stopped moving in a hurry.

None of the telegraph poles in this mass retailer's parking lot can be seen standing up properly, and there are no wires that are cut and hanging down.

In peacetime, the telephone station was sometimes constructed in person, but there were also sites where private subcontractors were put in.

After the battle, there are still employees in the city who say that the restoration work has been done, but they still have enough work to do.

Do you obey the coup d 'état regime on your own initiative, or do you stay in your position as a professional to protect the lives of the residents, or do you follow the Liberation Army without escape?

I don't know the reason, but as soon as I realized why the phone was properly connected, I changed my eyes to see the city.
