"It's going to be night sometime..."
How much fun is it to play in a sealed nursery? Mira and Norimasa were robbed of all animals when researchers called the forbidden creature's meal duty arrived.
Even so, when I was watching her dine, I suddenly noticed and was stunned to check the current time.
It's been three hours since I came to this place.
"Look, I told you, right? They'll take away your time in no time."
Norimasa's face was as calm and clear as── that of an enlightened monk.
Yes, he was advising that this should happen. If you enter this place and encounter forbidden creatures, you will be captured by its cutie, and you will feel like playing.
”... this is what I meant, isn't it?”
“Yeah, so the only people who get in here are the caretakers or those whose days are holidays.”
Mira laughs that she has been brilliantly dissolved in time, but has no regrets. Norimasa seemed to be satisfied as well, but at the same time she felt regret. In other words, if you come at a time such as a break, overtime will be finalized in order to forget about work.
"By the way, I didn't know it was such a terrible place..."
Having experienced as if she had actually lost time, Mira leaves the scene in an unfortunate manner to shake off the temptation.
And along the way, I suddenly thought: This is the only place Kagura and Rhone shouldn't know about.
Well, it's time for dinner.
After seeing off Norimasa, who was returning to work after a long time, Mira walked straight to the dining room.
Meet with the Pegasus along the way.
As a senior, he taught the new spirit beast White Wolf a lot. The Wolf's atmosphere seemed more sophisticated than when we first met.
But at the same time, problems arise. What else did Pegasus teach them but as spirit beasts? The white wolf fell before Mira.
He swore his full allegiance.
You'll be able to become the ruler of the sanctuary someday.
Unexpectedly, a newcomer? Mira, who gained the trust of the spirit beast, saw off the white wolf with such irresponsible words.
In any case, the next place Mira came after the Bio-pastoral Technology Research and Development Department was the cafeteria, and at the same time, it was part of the facility called the Comprehensive Cooking Research and Development Department.
Therefore, Mira, who exchanged greetings with Mondor, the head of the laboratory, dressed in white, began to observe and eat in the laboratory and kitchen.
The purpose of this development department is to recreate contemporary cuisine with this ingredient. Furthermore, it seems that they are working day and night for the future.
Therefore, the cafeteria is lined with not only reproduced modern cuisine, but also experimental cuisine produced in the process.
"I wonder what kind of food there is."
It's more or less anything.
At the end of the tour, I'll find the most delicious dish for dinner today. Mira thought about it and was guided by Mondor to look around.
──No, no, it's really nothing.
First of all, that was Mira's impression.
Not only do they have modern Japanese and Western dishes, but they also have local cuisine from all over the world.
In addition to native creatures and native plants, even monsters and demon beasts. Cuisine in this world that did not exist in modern times, but is ingredient-based, requires more than modern knowledge and technology.
In particular, the flesh of things like monsters and demon beasts had a strong influence on their demonic attributes, and they could not be eaten as they were.
"If── you get used to it like this, it will end in a few seconds." Well, it'll take a few months to get used to it. "
Therefore, you need a process that doesn't drain blood, such as a magic drain. That said, it is not difficult to know how to do it, but Mondor was good at it when the time until the end of the process changed drastically due to familiarity.
"Oh, this is delicious again!"
Perfectly treated monster meat stew. When it comes to its deliciousness, it just took the trouble to eat it, and it was full of more flavor than I imagined.
Mondor prepared it for tasting, and it seems to be one of the most popular dishes in the lab. Rather, if you want to taste the meat, the monster meat was more intense than the popular type of pastoral farming.
If we somehow overcome the mood, we are already captive to its delicacies.
"How dare you reproduce it to something like this again..."
The next place Mira saw was a corner where the modern color was extremely dark and she could see what it was like at a glance.
Lined seats and lanes flow alongside them. That's right, it existed in the corner of the cafeteria instead of the rotating sushi.
This is, uh... kind of like the hobbies of the researchers here.──
Although the system is much older than it is today, the atmosphere and structure of the rotating sushi corner have not changed so much.
However, sushi is not going around now. In other words, because this is not a customer business, it is inefficient to keep it turned around at all times.
However, everything else is well arranged.
That's why I understood how to use it. Alongside the table are buttons with multiple menus. It's a really easy to understand mechanism that you can order just by pressing it.
"Oh, big Toro." This is it! "
Hearing Mondor say, "Look, press the button you like," Mira quickly pressed the button that was true to her desire. Sounds like the most expensive.
How about that. In just a few seconds, the door next to the table opened, and a delicious bonito sushi came out.
"What a terribly fast way to go again!"
If you put it on the lane and rotate it, the freshness will drop. It shouldn't have been made because it didn't go around for that reason, but Mira was surprised that it took a few seconds to order.
But the problem is taste, not speed. Mira switched her head and said a big toro in her mouth.
Haha!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the fat that is so rich that it dissolves in the sarasaki is truly the savoury flavour of the big toro.
"Is there even a master sushi maker here?" Such a superior consistency can be achieved in seconds, so be it. "
Above all, this mouthwash was a fresh grip proof of freshness. This is not how it is made. Mira, convinced of that, looked at Mondor like a giant.
However, at this time, Mira had forgotten some basic things.
"I don't even know if you're a master, but there are a lot of chefs who are quite reluctant." And since you also care about efficiency... I think it was probably just made up. "
The truth that Mondor told us. It was not that there was a master sushi maker who worked too fast, but that he was simply taking the basket out of the item box.
That's right, it's an item box. Everyone in this lab is a former player. In other words, everyone has an item box.
The cook here cooks as much or as little as he likes, and he stores all of them in his inventory. And provide takeout according to the order.
They say that's the system in this cafeteria.
It seems that there is no loss of food and almost no shortage of products. In addition, raw waste such as cutting vegetables was recycled in the agricultural department.
Mondor was confident that it was the most environmentally friendly cafeteria on the continent.
"Oh my... such a tease." But I guess not. If you put it in, the time will stop as it is, so is that the most efficient way to do it? "
Speaking of which, Mira looked up to the heavens regretfully.
The original player has a special Item Box that stops the time it takes to put in it. Mira, who remembered that, smiled bitterly as she remembered the time when she bought a lot of ready-made lunches. Why did you say that earlier?
That said, I didn't seem to care much about Mira, who was good at Mondor. Instead of that, he smiled better this time.
"Time will stop, I guess." Looks like you haven't noticed that yet.── ”
After picking up one of Mira's words, Mondor said such a thoughtless word and told the following truth.
Apparently, as he says, time is not completely dead inside the item box. Slightly, but little by little, it is said that the time has elapsed, which is about a minute's speed in a year.
"──So, it's fundamentally different in the first place." The bracelet of the operator that we made is a part of multiple surgery and multidimensional theory, and we just applied the Gulliver effect of elementary particles and reproduced it like that. Until we synchronize and create a space to save. But the real thing is different.── "
Apparently, it was more of an area of interest than his specialty. It's already speaking to the tongue.
However, when it comes to Mira, except for the surgical part, it was a dick. And it seems that Mondor is unusual for such a person to be able to look at his own behavior based on the other person's reaction.
"──Well, the mystery of this world is mostly still unknown." But the only thing that can be said is that it is certain that the technical level of the management side exceeded that of the modern day. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to design an item box full of black boxes, and it's ridiculous to think that the game is a reality in the first place. ”
Mondor summed up the whole story like that and closed the conversation.
According to him, the mystery of what the purpose is and why it is like this has not been grasped by this committee today.
Only one thing: the team that ran Arc Earth Online expects to have a much higher level of technology than the peaks at the time.
"It's a game run by people who go further in modern technology..." What a suspicious conspiracy you're about to hide. "
At the moment, I'm in the middle of a terrible experience that the game has become a reality. No matter what mysteries and secrets are popping up anymore, Mira's stance was slow.
However, even though I'm enjoying it now, I'm still concerned about the circumstances around it.
I want you to let me know if you find anything. Having said that, Mondor replied naturally, "Oh, that's the job of this committee."
Now, I am spreading my hand in quite many ways, but only the part that the basic philosophy of the Nikko Main Committee is to solve the mystery of the world was not broken at all.
After that, Mira fully toured the comprehensive culinary research and development department with Mondor's guide, and then went to the cafeteria for dinner, although it was a little late.
"But, stupid things... it's a funny thing to think about."
Mira, who had broken up with Mondor, was enjoying the mysterious lightness of her body as she remembered the last cup of tea she had drunk.
The tea was still experimental. So, what kind of experiment is that of the so-called dietary boost effect?
An effect common in games, such as temporarily increasing stats after eating a meal.
At the banquet that was held here before, it seemed that there was a story about whether it could really be reproduced, and the first part of the result of the research that started with it was the tea.
It seems that this tea was developed jointly by the cooking department and the pharmacy department. Mondor said it was popular with researchers who stayed up all night because it made it a little easier for them to recover.
(It should be late for dinner, but there are a lot of people)
The time was close to ten o'clock in the evening. If you're at home, it's like you've already finished dinner. However, the cafeteria here was rather busy enough that it was probably the busiest time of the year.
When I looked around, most of them looked like craftsmen. I could also see the researchers in the sky. This seems like a normal amount of time for the people here.
What hard-working people. I was able to confirm many of the people I met during the tour.
Hey Mira-chan, have you enjoyed your visit?
One of them came to find Mira and called out. This is the man who ate the matsutake together.
Hmmm. I think we've done more here than I thought.
No, no one in the office knows how to add or subtract.
There is something really useful in this laboratory. But some of them were worthy that they should not release to the world. In particular, most of the research conducted independently by the director is serious enough to fall within that category.
If Mira spoke subtly about it, the man would have thought about it all the time. In a bitter smile, he shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, of course, that's the truth." Oh, and today, there is a cooked rice with bamboo picked from our restaurant on the menu, so you should definitely try it if you like. Because it's a dish that our director was proud of. "
As he said that, the man disappeared in a panic somewhere.
Less than a few seconds later, he said from behind, "Oh, is Mira-chan going to have dinner right now? I was called out."
"Oh, my lord." Um, from now on. "
Looking back was the thistle of the head of the department in charge of the entire household of the modern technology reproduction research and development department.
Oh, well then.──
It was like dinner for her from now on, and when she heard Mira's reply, she invited me to join her in the continuation of the previous conversation.
A story about a bacteria that uses magic, which the two of us cheered up when they showed us. In addition to that, I have compiled various documents about possible things, so I would like to talk about them.
"Oh, is there anything else?" That's another interesting story! "
As the thistle said, we have no confirmation, but there are several other things that may be using magic as well as bacteria.
Unknown magic system, unexplained technique. There are still such things in the world. Rather, the number of unknown numbers was overwhelmingly higher.
Moreover, some of them can be applied to the nine kinds of techniques manipulated by humans. That's why Mira's interest was so high, and she was quick to respond to the invitation.
The dinner with the thistle was a very meaningful time.
Science and technology, biology, and her thoughts on magic with some other points of view sometimes contain unexpected ideas, and Mira is impressed with them.
"That's enough for me." And in places like that, too.── "
A subtle change you won't notice until you're an expert on the road. Differences like errors, etc. Mira was obsessed with a lot of information that would remind her that the world was still full of mysteries.
"I see, that's the principle." That's why it's like this.── "
The thistle also seemed excited to see the light in the mysterious part until now, thanks to Mira's wisdom and knowledge.
As a result, the two forgot the purpose of the meal and became immersed in the same conversation as last time.
”Hmph, magic is being used even in unexpected places...”
Mira, who had finished dinner after speaking for a long time, was recalling the content of the story as she headed to the bathing area where she was taught.
The poisonous herb in the stomach bag of a sheep may be a bacterium that uses antidote magic.
In addition, it seems that rivers and water veins that contain mana sometimes act as a circuit for surgery. As a result, it may be related to miraculous abundance of crops or strange and strange hiding.
Although it is a surgical circuit that happens by accident, it seems that it affects in various places besides such important matters when it is examined. Apparently, there is a migratory bird that senses the reaction and knows where it is.
Others are similarities between electronic and surgical circuits, or microorganisms that shape strange shapes when given a certain stimulus. Mira seems satisfied that she was able to gain a lot of knowledge only through research in various fields.
"... this is it"
The entrance to the bathhouse arrived while thinking like that. Mira, who stopped in front of it, confirmed the timetable stretched by the entrance with "I see, I came like this".
There are two entrances to the bathhouse. There is a way to separate men's and women's baths.
However, according to the timetable, it can be seen that two more ways of dividing them will be added at regular intervals.
The way it is divided is "when it is changed from reality". In other words, it targets people who are changing from a man to a woman, or from a woman to a man, like Mira is now.
It was a unique place with only former players.
According to a piece of paper, women's baths can be used by women who were actually men in odd hours. It is said that in even hours, men who were women in reality will also be able to enter the men's baths.
In addition, it is said that those who do not change in reality and here can enter at any time for 24 hours.
(It's a little past eleven o'clock now... mmm, it's okay!)
Eleven is an odd number. It is now a good time to take a ladies' bath. After confirming that, Mira enthusiastically boarded the ladies' bath.
